This is a disaster of a video, poor and wrong info.
Its a poorly made video.
Quebec controls its own immigration, and it has different target amounts and is slight different from the rest of Canada
They don't explain that there are two different programs.
one for students
one for temporary workers (very new and is being phased out and going back to being a mostly agricultural temp worker program)
and one for everyone else.
the text showed said the girl is a temporary worker
when they also said she came as a student and graduated, and was working after graduation as part of the permit.
Also Quebec has its is own immigration programs that are slightly different from the rest of Canada
Detailed critique of video accuracy and policy explanation, pointing out omissions about Quebec's separate programs and permit categories.

I was born here in Canada in 1969 and since Justin Trudeau took over as our government, everything just went downhill. I also very upset with our government bringing in millions of Immigrants and giving large handouts of of our Canadian tax dollars to support the new immigrants that our coming into Canada. Why is the government giving large hand outs to these Indian immigrants instead of helping us true Canadians who helped built this Country. It is a dam shame to see what the Liberal Government our doing to this country of ours were many are homeless, high cost of living and the high crimes that happens every day in Canada and what does the government do is let these criminals back into our streets where us true Canadians do not feel safe any more. The one thing that pisses me off is seeing is all these new immigrants coming into Canada by the thousands that are taking away our Canadian entry jobs like Walmart, McDonalds and A & W fast food restaurant where as our young born Canadian students and others can not find a job to help them pay for there school loans and get a good education degree. We need to put a stop to this. For enough is enough before our Liberal Government destroys our country.
Extended critique of government immigration and welfare policy, with identity framing of 'true Canadians' versus immigrants, and personal narrative elements.

Yes, Canada’s asylum system is currently facing intense scrutiny due to record-high claim volumes and allegations of systemic fraud.
THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM
Backlog Explosion: The inventory of pending asylum claims has surged significantly, reaching approximately 300,000 active cases as of late 2025.
Rising Claim Volumes: Annual claims reached a record 190,000 in 2024, though they decreased by about a third in early 2025 following new policy measures.
Removal Gap: Criticisms have been raised regarding the low rate of deportations; reports indicate that 86% of rejected claimants remain in Canada.
SOURCES OF "BOGUS" CLAIMS
International Student Surge: There has been an "alarming trend" of international students claiming asylum to remain in the country after their study permits expire or in response to new caps on student visas.
Fraud Networks: Investigations have highlighted vulnerabilities where unauthorized agents and transnational fraud networks counsel migrants to submit fabricated narratives or forged documents.
"Rubber-Stamping" Allegations: A recent report by the C.D. Howe Institute warned that a paper-based "fast-track" system for certain high-risk countries may be bypassing essential security screenings and in-person questioning.
ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACT
Healthcare Costs: The Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), which provides medical benefits to claimants, saw its budget jump from roughly $66 million to over $1 billion annually.
Policy Shift: To reduce incentives for non-genuine claims, the government is introducing a co-pay system for supplementary health services (like dental and vision) starting May 1, 2026.
CONSEQUENCES OF FRAUD
For individuals, filing a "bogus" or misrepresented claim carries severe penalties:
A five-year ban from entering or remaining in Canada.
Permanent record of fraud with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Loss of current temporary or permanent resident status
Detailed analysis of asylum system problems including backlogs, fraud allegations, and economic costs, presenting data-driven critique of government policy.

I am not republican or democrat and not a blind supporter of any leader. I criticize Trump as well-BUT - No one damaged Canada as much as this guy!

This guy is embarrassing himself and his country!
Systematically critiques Trudeau's governance record and competence, claiming he damaged Canada and is now using speeches to cover incompetence.

I’ve had conversations with Indians who say there’s too many Indians. Prior to the past 10-11 years of liberal “leadership,” we only let in 40k people per year. Now on average over trudeaus time we on average let in 1 million people per year. It’s disgusting. It’s purely the liberals thinking “oh yeah all of of them vote the same, let’s bring em in and they’ll vote us in.” Short term play all about greed and power worship. Instead of a long term play to serve Canada.
Indians and other immigrants who came here before this liberal season, they all despise the new immigrants. Because they had to jump through so many hoops to become Canadian. These new people are welcomed even though they don’t work and go straight on welfare. It’s sick and twisted.
The comment critiques Liberal immigration policy, citing statistics and arguing the policy prioritizes political gain over long-term national interest, with economic and demographic concerns.
