I am Canadian and I am envious of Americans because you have a leader who can stand for you guys, Canada’s economy has been suffering with his leadership even before Trump was elected but he is supporting /funding war , giving out tax payers to refugees he has been bringing who don’t contribute to tax. Hear him more concerned to Americans as opposed to announcing to us Canadians what is his plan for Canada to address tariff! Let USA do their thing , improve your leadership and don’t rely on other countries plans/decisions, unfortunately we are affected but it’s your job to make strategies of how you would address that. Dont blame Trump you could have thought of plans prior implementation
A Canadian's first-person critique of Trudeau's economic policies, refugee funding, and lack of tariff strategy.

She's just gonna work in a store than she doesn't belong in Canada. Only the highly skilled should be allowed to immigrate into Canada.

I think your title is incorrect, no political party is advocating for more immigration at the moment. The people who are advocating for more migration now have their own personal agendas, this does not represent the country as a whole. The country is not falling apart because of changes in immigration laws.
Critiques the video's title accuracy and argues political parties don't advocate for more immigration currently.

Tighten immigration control should prioritze sending away asylum seekers who came here for financial reasons not who are actually working. Labor shortage is real, so is welfare fraud.

She came here to study. And then she is classed as a TEMPORARY Foreign Worker. She even acknowleges that she doesn't have enough experience under the program's stipulations to stay. Is something lost in translation here? 🧐 She now has transferrable skills AND an education to take back to her home country. AND she can reapply to reimmigrate as a PERMANENT RESIDENT next time. She is exploiting the system.
Analyzes temporary foreign worker program rules and accuses the individual of exploiting the system, questioning the fairness of the arrangement.

Blah blah blah Lies lies lies. Trudeau isn’t even liked by his own ppl. Why should we trust a guy that is trying to control his own country with Communist agendas?

This is the Canadian govt’s fault for not making immigration stricter and allowing low tier Indians in. I’m not sure why they weren’t more selective in handing out visas cause their mishandling of immigration just paints a bad picture of all Indian immigrants (even those who assimilate with the country and contribute strongly to the economy). The US at least keeps immigration under control and only allows mostly smart Indians in. The Indian demographic in the US achieved the highest average annual salaries and most have assimilated well. That’s proof the US carried out good immigration control.
Critiques Canadian immigration selectivity while comparing favorably to US practices and making ethnic distinctions about assimilation.

Needs to be even tighter but since its been so high fir so long it may be too late. Ive seen young Canadians who canet find work and may have to move to the US for good futures some have already started and taking their skills with them. Canada dies not need high levels it needs more affordable homes, better paying jobs, etc do they can have kids and increase the population organically. Parts of Canada dont even look like a North American country. As an immigrant I can tell you that it would be better if Canadians could afford to have more kids
Argues for tighter immigration policy while citing economic concerns (housing, jobs) and personal immigrant perspective on Canada's needs.

Not true. Most Canadians want smaller numbers and tighter requirements. The students and TEMPORARY workers think they automatically will get permanent residency, when in fact there are no guarantees..Why these people act like Canada did …
Not true. Most Canadians want smaller numbers and tighter requirements. The students and TEMPORARY workers think they automatically will get permanent residency, when in fact there are no guarantees..Why these people act like Canada did something wrong? Having that many people come is a strain on all our resources and job market. We have a right to decide who we need and want. Store manager is not a job that Canadians won't do.
Critiques immigration policy regarding temporary workers and permanent residency while arguing strain on resources and job market reflects economic concerns.

There is no labor shortage.. I moved to Montreal from Toronto as a Canadian, can't find a job. There is strange favoritism for temporary immigrants that can't speak English nor French
