An immigrant student told me she was lured by the ads in India to move to Canada, they promised housing, and a job. When she got to Canada she had to room with 4 people in a 1 bedroom apt, worked the graveyard shift at Tims and couldnt get in to the classes she needed at school, she returned to India bc she said her quality of life was actually better there. Why would Canada bring immigrants to the country with lies like this?
It’s the so-called immigration consultants in these countries that are doing this. They’re not licensed by the Canadian government, which the ones in Canada are (through a process that is tough and expensive). There’s nothing Canada can do because this is happening outside the country. Most Canadians are ignorant on how the immigration system works. How can we expect those who don’t live here to be well-informed? BTW - The details are all on the IRCC website.

Follow what countries like Hungary. Reduce immigration NOW by 90%... and start giving incentives to families to increase population internally. In Hungary, they don't scare the populace by repeating that "kids are bad for the environment and your life" as the government and media in the west do. Also families with 4+ kids pay NO INCOME TAX. Now THAT is real progressivism.

The number of low skilled and unskilled PR holders in Canada is outrageous whereas People who are highly skilled are finding it really difficult to get a PR.

Canada doesn’t really need anyone. Let’s just be honest that they are letting us in out of kindness, not because they need us. The least we can do is try to contribute and love the country and its values as our own.
You might want to rethink that, the facts don't support your position. Canada has had a growing population for its entire existence, and often as a much higher rate than we do now. Yet we have always been able to keep up with housing and infrastructure in the past.
@@Brained05and guess what Canada did not have in the past??? THE GREEN DEAL!!! The left wing agenda blocks building of new houses because of nature…… You can’t support both nature and immigrants.

@@dolozambra2242 That is not what is happening, Canada has limits on how many immigrants it will accept each year. There was a problem with the rapid growth in the numbers of foreign students due to lax provincial regulations on secondary schools, but that has also been addressed. The federal government put a limit on the number of visas it would issue, something Canada has never done before, and the provincial governments are finally getting around to doing something to regulate the schools.
it is simple math: if you bring in a million people and are only putting 200k new housing to the market yearly, then there is a severe deficit in housing in the making which will get progressively worse. How many households have five people or above?
If being racist means asking for affordable housing, competitive wages, and safe neighborhoods, then by all means call me racist. This is affecting the entire Western Society.

Well maybe natives in these countries should try and get skilled jobs. UK, Canda, all over Europe the doctors, engineers, nurses, IT workers are never the locals. They're too lazy
When people complain about immigration in Canada, the number one group they look at are the Indians. Take a look at what happened to Brampton, Ontario, and places like Surrey.@user-ke4yz4of6z
As a son of an immigrant, immigration is not the issue. Quality immigration is. These days all Canada is bringing in are students that make college and university owners rich and keeps businesses like Tim Horton's running with low spending. While the big corporations get rich, every Canadian is being hurt.
I am also a son of an immigrant and I have no issues with labelling immigration as being the issue. We have limited space and resources, so it makes sense. We're not saying that the concept of immigration is wrong, but just that there is a time and a place. We need to built up the infrastructure first before increasing the number of immigration again.
@@contribution741lol, there's a shortage of doctors everywhere because its ridiculously expensive to build one, u think most of the immigrants coming in are doctors? 🤣
@@contribution741 immigration currently needs to paused indefinitely. Not like forever as immigration has played a huge part in the growth of Canada, but right now it's leading to destruction
Immigration is out of control plain a simple. It’s not xenophobic or racist to state this. Any regular middle class Canadian can see the issues. It’s very hard to live here right now, and it’s not a single immigrants fault, it’s poor government policy and planning. Our government has failed.
Illegal immigration is out of control. The regular immigration always bring resources and skills for the host country. For economic issue, it is inflation by the government. Legal immigration if carried out properly is always beneficial to the host country.
@@aubreyplazasuncle xenophobia is the targeting of a specific group, religion or ethnicity. Immigration is out of control and it applies to every group equally. A British, French or Australian family moving here has the same negative consequence as a Chinese, Pakistani, or Indonesian family. We simply do not have the infrastructure or housing to support immigration we need at least a decade to catch up, than by all means open to door.
@@SuperEtab visible minorities are overwhelmingly the target of anti immigration related hate crimes and rising far right extremism though. it would be daft and ignorant to just gloss over that fact and pretend it’s the same case regardless of what type of immigrant they are. the things you’re saying make some sense but your blame and resentment is misplaced
Canada is the second largest country in the world in terms of area alone with a VERY small tax paying population. We only have 18 million taxpayers (remember the other half are children or senior citizens living on their pensions). We NEED immigrants to invest in businesses, to pay taxes, to work and do all the jobs we don’t have enough Canadians for. If we didn’t have immigrants, Canada would fall apart as our birth and death rates are low. We need to build more towns and cities or create incentives for immigrants to move to dying communities.
Imagine an elevator that can hold 15 people. Now imagine adding 50 more people into that elevator and branding anyone who complains a a racist. That’s what Canadian immigration discourse has been for the past 20 years.
A more apt description: Imagine an elevator that can hold 50 people, but then the sizes goes down to 45, 40, 35, 30... down to 15 over the years because of government spending cuts... but the number of people using the elevator is the same or more.
I’m right wing and I don’t care. I’m neither a racist nor a xenophobe. I care about facts, and the facts are that we do not have neither the economy, job market, nor housing to bring in more people. Our own people are having hard times financially, that is not the time to bring in newcomers. A lot of the ones we have should be deported because we simply can’t handle in influx.
Something I don't think is talked about enough is that a majority of MPs have a large portion of their net worth tied up in real estate so they have a financial incentive to keep cost of living high. Also 54% of conservative MPs, 36% of Liberal MPs, and 16% of NDP MPs are landlords! How can we trust these politicians to tackle the cost of living crisis when they themselves benefit from it?!

The real question is, why are we scraping by while billionaires enjoy the fruits of our labor with golden goblets and plates? Not only do they reduce our ability to negotiate by bringing in more workers, but they also take home the entire pie that we work so hard to create. We shouldn't be fighting over crumbs with migrants; instead, we should be fighting for our fair share of the pie from the billionaires.
Life has gotten really hard in Canada.... Local cant afford housing, decent paying jobs to afford basic living. Wages are kept low because of these foreign workers who accepts peanuts for their pay and live in rooming house/one room with one million other roommates. Cheap wages while it works for business owners it is destroying the fabric of the society.
The people that say this never actually live here or know anything about the country or it's metrics (which rank it higher in most meaningful categories than most other countries)
That is a fair opinion. And one that I also agree with. The problem is others take this opinion further to racist and xenophobic levels. Generalizing and blaming entire groups of people for Canada's problems. Frankly, those opinions are UN-CANADIAN.

Fair opinion but if you listen to the last guy who was interviewed, he mentioned that the government has not done enough to keep the infrastructure in top shape. Canada doesn't spend enough on infrastructure. They are always tight on budget and looking for ways to tax people more. They saw the health worker crisis and there is still no solution. Even without the recent immigrants, doctors were not adequate. Recently, they started shipping funds to war-torn countries. Yes, cut back on immigration and improve the quality of immigrants but also spend on capital projects and stop relying on infrastructure from the 80s and early 90s. I work with the CRA and the amount of taxes recovered every year by collections agents is in billions. The ones who pay their taxes without being chased around are even more so you can imagine how much is generated in taxes. Where is all of it going?
I’m an immigrant we came in 1982 , but the problem now is a lot of people here don’t want to integrate with Canadian society and want instead bring their own beliefs. Part of being an immigrant is to assimilate into the culture and not be an outsider. To me Canada is home , this is where I met my wife and my children are born. But you have to work for it because nothing is free. The key word is to become one of us , to become Canadian 🇨🇦
I’m not for or against immigration. But which definition of immigration tells you that you have to integrate your culture? On the contrary, something you may not know living in Canada, but across the world, and even here, they tell people that they want diversity. Diversity doesn’t just mean your race.
I would say it's okay to have your own belief while going to another country. I do. The point is when your own beliefs clash with the host's system. You need to acknowledge that you come here as a visitor and you need to accommodate with that.
Social Integration? 💯. However, assimilation??? Nah. Plus, the main issue is not assimilation. It’s the volume. And I’m saying that as an immigrant( in Germany) myself 😂.
So then I shouldn't trust you either since your family were once immigrants too unless you are one a native Canadian like the first nation people haha. Thanks, will not be trusting you then.
the Ford/Right wing govt have made policies and stopped adequately funding healthcare, education, and other essential services. That is the problem, NOT the people who move here. It's incompetency & corporate greed. Focus on those responsible, not the other working class people!
Housing and social services will never catch up after we went from a democracy to an oligarchy. These issues are allowed to propagate by the ones profiting from it. All social services are slowly going from public to private and housing has to stay limited to keep property values from ever lowering. 'Best we can do is a 5 years longer mortgage'...'here's a quarter percent lower interest rate'
Oh its bad. Immigrant here. As soon as I can I’m gonna look to move somewhere else. I feel most immigrants should. I hate to say it but I feel like my presence in this country is making it worse.

Why blame immigrants. Your governments asked these people to come. Gladly took their money. Which is helped prevent a massive recession. Life is tough for everyone. Immigrants included. The government lied to everyone.
And why is this happening? Capitalism. I don't see any of you "anti-unfettered immigration" people protesting the flawed, unsustainable, rugged capitalist system of the Western countries, which is clearly the root of almost every major issue we're facing today.

its the global plan it seems .. no culture , no history , no religion and no property . itll be tragic to lose all those things. id go the other way myself .
All of these problems stem from the wealthy elite. Who instead of using their money to fund housing projects just decide to dismantle western democracy. They're psychopaths
Because Canada under Trudeau had very bad immigration policy. Canadians are not against immigration. They are against mass low skilled immigration that we don't have the resources to absorb.
@gilk7688 sure and they will pay their huge chunk of taxes that will go back into improving the life of a canadian. dumping poverty strick indians in canada is not going to make the government richer of improve the life of an average canadian.

It's not anti-immigration: its serious concern that its on a trajectory and in numbers that the country may not be able to absorb economically and demographically. That's the issue, nothing more. These are legitimate concerns. Its the same in every other Western country.

Rooted people can see the masses still arriving and it is rightly vert concerning when your Country is being quite literally swamped with people from far off lands.
People always seem to be surprised about why populations turn against immigrants. Small numbers of immigrants that assimilate into your culture that don't require a lot of social services can be absorbed into the social fabric of a town, city, or country. Massive influx of foreigners don't speak your language and require years of social benefits that they don't pay in to, rapidly turn the existing population hostile. Morality has nothing to do with it. There is a reason Sun Tsu had an entire chapter in the Art of War about using refugees to overburden your enemy and destroy him afterwards.
One or two families of immigrants in a neighborhood is generally not considered a threat. However, when you have tens of thousands of immigrants in a community it becomes a threat. The threat is converted into CONCERNS about housing, public services, and health and welfare. As if immigrants come into the neighborhood and instantly swamping the public services. That seems to be the general tenor of these comments.

Immigration is 1 piece of the puzzle that is getting scapegoated.
I'm Singaporean and people around the world should look into how Singapore has policies in place to control immigration and provide fair and transparent government housing for each Singaporean so that they will not fall into this predicament of homelessness and your quality of life is based on the merit of what you can contribute not like how many Europeans countries have a social welfare system that breeds this problem of "anti immigration" sentiments because they come in get a social welfare payment and housing while the citizens suffer. I'm also now living in Ireland and its basically what Canada is going through now. It's failed government policies.
I visited Singapore and was enthralled by an exhibit at the museum that explained how your government turned the country around from so many problems to such amazing advancements. The West is incredibly arrogant and never looks to the East for ideas which is a shame!
Social welfare system is absent in the majority of third-world nations and prsesent in the majority of advanced economies - this alone shows the merit it offers to society. It is dishonest to suggest that immigrants migrate seeking to abuse the welfare system. From the policies you mention in Singapore, it seems that people with disabilities, the elderly, the invalid, struggling single parents, persons who've lost their jobs, etc who cannot contribute either permanently or for a period of time depending on their situation in life will therefore have no quality of life - sounds very cruel and harsh! If you are in Ireland as an Asian, I'm surprised how you haven't yet found the link between the housing and homelessness crisis and the landlord politicians who make up the majority of politicians in the major 2 political parties that govern the nation , Fine Fail and Fine Gael! It's not immigrants! It's not failed government policies. It's a government of rich and selfish landlords who benefit by NOT creating housing to meet the demand (the EU and UN have sent multiple warnings to the scarcity in housing!!) but instead eternally driving up rent-prices to continue greedily profiting from real-estate and by also teaming up with vulture funds and doing much worse, honestly how can you not see that?! By that vein, I suppose you would also say next that the Irish health system (the worst public (&private) health service I have experienced in my life) is also to be blamed on the immigrants? This myopic view of problems making an easy scapegoat out of immigrants is not just ignorant but dangerous !

All those 1 million temporary visas turn out to be permanent. " Canada has issued nearly 1 million temporary emergency visas to Ukrainians fleeing the war since March 2022 "
Illegal anti immigration sentiment is, people confuse immigrants with illegal immigrants, the illegal inmigrants or illegal immigration is what is damaging the country
those are not mutually exclusive. It IS anti-immigration. Because what the logical solution is to reduce and not increase immigration. ANYTHING that says we should not INCREASE immigration is anti-immigration.
Most of the problem at least here in Ontario is due to the Ford government. They allowed a large number of fly by night schools to open up to attract foreign students so Ontario is flooded with foreign students. The problem got so bad that the Trudeau government put a cap on the number of visas they would issue, something that has never been done in Canada before. Next there is provincial nominated immigration. It is supposed to allow provincial governments to target specific areas where they have labour shortages. Ontario has nine different streams! When you add all of the occupations in the nine streams together it covers almost everything. Basically if an employer says they need a worker to fill a job they can fill out a form and the government of Ontario will nominate someone to immigrate to Canada.
It was the conservatives who got rid of any national housing program and doubled down on austerity. Pierre Poilieve may reduce immigration numbers, but by doubling down on austerity and the insistence that the private market will provide for all our needs, he will keep housing prohibitively expensive.
@@Brained05 That is an interesting take. The problem is that none of the right wing will ever talk about this part of the problem.

The issue in Canada is not about a well-planned and diverse immigration policy, but rather a significant influx of people from just a few countries, which some perceive as a cultural shift. The long-term impact of this trend on society remains to be seen.
It’s the same thing is happening in the United States,Costa Rica,Panamá,Brazil,Uruguay, Paraguay,Chile,and Mexico due to high rates of immigration in those countries.
Born and raised in Toronto, I know this city has deep ethnic diversity. But today it is a sh*tshow. Period. We are not allowed to challenge reckless and passive aggressive politicians on the failed immigration policy and absence of a national strategy for housing, for addiction recovery, for mental health support. We are called 'RACIST' if we mention this. The Guardian documentary peels just one layer of the onion. Just horrible.
Look around the comment section, there are plenty of racists, here is one: "@philpaine3068 the race and kinds of people who came in 1890s and after ww2 ARE NOT at all similar to the economic migrants who are coming here now for the living benefits of being here. They won't add to our country they will bring it down" -@dantesfinferno7248 What do we call him if not racist? Please let me know.
But why is there such a glaring obviousness that majority of the immigrants being let into Canada are from India?? If we’re going to talk about diversity how about we stop favouring one specific nation? I find it really unsettling to see one foreign nation dominate our population.
In Canada it is because of British colonization and the Commonwealth, which is a modernized Empire 2.0. People feel a freedom of movement among CW countries. In the US, it is immigration from countries further south with no historical rights to move in.

For some history: The previous two governments only hit 20-25% of their stated immigration goals, and were heavily criticized by the provincial governments and business community for it. The current government actually achieved the immigration targets that business and the provinces were demanding. Most of the provincial governments are boasting about how much their populations have grown, and are taking credit for it, but blaming the federal government for the problems the increased population has caused. It is the provinces that have failed to grow health care, education and other services to match the increased population that they asked for, and it is the provinces that haven't increased minimum wages to match the increased cost of living, and it is the provinces that are responsible for housing.
It is the Federal gov that canvassed and encouraged millions of mostly Indians into the country in a very short period of time. If provinces are to blame for not keeping up, as you say, then they weren't ready for the federal gov to do this and it should never have occurred.
I believe there are several reasons 1 - Participation rate to elections is very low. Either people are thinks their the current election system doesn't work or all major political parties serve same plans 2 - quarter of Canadian work force works for government as private sector bleeds constantly while the government hires new people to reduce unemployment.
It’s not. Immigration with the intention of destroying the middle class is not popular. Trudeau called us a post national nation. We support immigration that benefits the existing citizen. Labelling reasonable people as racists is sickening.
Our system is overloaded - transportation, municipal, social systems, health systems, and education systems!!! Foodbanks and shelters are full; and we're failing actual Canadians. Lastly, crime - violent crime has increased. Look at Brampton and tell me, with a straight face, that isnt the case.

My neighbors, a Syrian refugee family residing in Glenforest, Mississauga, Ontario. The family arrived here three years ago and is receiving various social security benefits. However, I have observed that the father is working illegally in a butcher shop while the family continues to benefit from social security and other grants. They appear to have multiple sources of income, live in a free house, and are purchasing substantial amounts of gold, a new car, and their children are receiving educational benefits. This situation seems to be inconsistent with the financial situation of many hard-working individuals in our community. My father has reported this issue to the Canada Revenue Agency, but we have not seen any follow-up or resolution. I am concerned about the fairness of this situation and how it affects the integrity of the benefit system.
Instead of important a bajillion of Indians into Canada, why don't Canada just annex India instead? No need for Indians to fly to North America to become Canadians when they can become Canadians in Canada-annexed India.

What do you mean next year? The crisis is already here, and its identical to the UK. The immigraton is a sympton and a side effect of Canada and the UK essentially being mostly financial service economies. Neither the UK or Canada mades anything to sell/import to other countries. So of course they'd eventually sufferers of inflation and a maniacal drive to run the population up. This is the legacy of both liberals and conservative govts here in Canada, and Margaret Thatcher, Conservative govts, and Anthony Lynton Blair over there.
Liberal/NDP thinking. It's just COMMON SENSE that you can't JAM a million people into a place with space and services for only 500,000. But Common-sense is NO LONGER 'common' anymore in Canada. Time for a change in Government, get rid of the Dictator, and get back to REALITY.

They have done the same thing here in Australia. Immigration tap is on full bore, basically zero housing available, 10-20 immigrants crammed into each house. We have Australian's earning 6 figure incomes sleeping in their cars because there is just no homes available (even if they can afford it). Our governments hate us with a passion.
When my parents came to canada 25yrs ago from Korea, they had to bring in millions of dollars and create at least two full time jobs. The whole process took a bit over 3 yrs. I don’t get how new comers are so easily accepted.
I keep hearing the term "demographic problem". Am I to understand that the Canadian government sees white people being the majority as a "problem" that needs to be fixed?
Been living in canada for over 12 years, the influx of new immigrants coming into canada these past 2 years were absurd. It wasnt like this when i first got here. Trudeau must go
100% anyone with a temporary work/student permit that came after 2020 needs to go back, regardless of where they came from. It's not racism to realize that we don't have the infrastructure nor the economy to support low skill workers/students who aren't working
They form their communities... especially China and India are nations that are difficult to assimilate culturally.... they inhabit mini China and mini India throughout the country 😂
Australia didn’t have enough houses for the citizens already living here. Then the government let a record number of immigrants in last year. I wonder who is benefitting from this situation?
Australia.because Aussies are benefiting from weapon sales which is used to create conflict in other parts of the world.Then comes the refugees. Your jobs are supported by military industrial complex
Developers of condos and absentee landlords who are sitting overseas, ( i..e China) are the main beneficiaries. Here in Canada the fed govt abolished in 1984 a federal subsidy given to developers to build many affordable regular and social housing units in major cities. On average around 400000 to 500000 immigrants settle into Canada annually, so with this massive influx and the existing shortages which are worsened by the free reign given to developers to build much less and squeeze for rents more and lack of government intervention, it is no surprise vast majority here are struggling badly. How is it in Sydney or Melbourne ? I would think Australia is not much better.
Yes, try getting a job as a doctor if you are an immigrant...just be prepared to be an Uber Driver or food service worker in Timmy's. Immigrants amd Housing isnot a. problem, there is a chronic shortage of tradespeople across Canada and US, there are hundreds of skilled tradespeople Worldwide who want to come to Canada but are told there qualifications are 'not comparable'....come on guys get real here! Houses built in other countries are not mud huts.
@@redcanoe14 The reason for there being a need of skilled labourers is because companies wont pay people accepteable wages, and by pouring in new people the pay will keep decreasing, while the cost of everything else will go up
We need to do immigration *responsibly*. The mass of international student visas combined with lack of regulation of colleges and universities regarding their housing, courses, and admissions is one place to start changing.
I worked at Sheridan College, Brampton. Sheridan management, Unionized Employees, and Union itself was all part of this. Management visited India, held events there, promoted Sheridan programs. Sheridan College intentionally created 'useless' programs so International students can easily get admission. Programs such as 2 years Pharmacy Tech that will get you the job of Cashier at Pharmacy.
The problem is they leave a country for more opportunity than try to make it identical to the place they were originally from! Sorry but that’s not how it works
The people I know who are most against our current immigration system are the immigrants themselves or the children of immigrants. Most people here are not against immigrants specifically, they are against the current system and uncontrolled migration.
I'm so sorry to hear that. 😂 I've never visited, but based on what little I know, Japan seems incredible. Surely it must be better than this dumpster fire?
Honestly this is a worldwide problem affecting not only first world countries but also growing economies, Im Mexican and a big wave of first world immigrants to my country have raised the prices in housing, food, etc, a lot of us has been forced to move to find more affordable prices, since previous rents doubled or in some cases got triplicated. And I know they are moving because the situation in their own countries have gone so hard that everyone is looking for a better chance, the world governments needs to do something because life is getting hard for EVERYONE.

Your country needs to up its game to actually increase per capita GDP, not simply upping GDP free flow of cash which is simply a function of volume of humans that need to eat and shelter.

This is true. I'm a manager at a Tim Hortons in Southern ontario. Smaller city, 30,000 pop. I think there is 4 of us white Canadians...the rest are all Indian students. Probably 20 or more.

Most Indians who have been coming here are doing so by signing up for low-value courses offered by these diploma mills and they don't have the means to sustain their lifestyle here. What they do know is that they can earn an income through a side hustle by working as uber drivers or food delivery drivers during their free time. Most Indians who have been coming here since 2019 come here with the sole aim of getting a PR visa - education is just an excuse to get the visa.
@@aaaaaadasjfodsfdjfbdshifb Well the provinces would need to put billions more into education of tutions tiple to make up for the lack of international students
crazy how you blame indians when census data show chinese is the largest immigrant group lool/ most of the immigration happening in canada at least is legal. The government willingly let's in hundreds of thousands of people a year. Say it's the amount without housing, not "illegal" we don't have a border problem. We need more investment into our infrastructure and to hold our greedy corporate monopolies accountable. Immigration is 1 piece of the puzzle that is getting scapegoated.
Multi-million corporations lobbying politicians for access to dirt cheap labour, and thereby causing the lowering of living standards across the board.
you might be surprised that "dirt cheap labour" is usually more competent than you, because they work harder why pay a lot for mediocre and entitled person when you can have superior quality for less money ?
Why? Because immigration is unchecked and unbalanced. If you want a prosperous multicultural society everyone has to be on board with that and it has to be fair for everyone. In the West that balance is not there. If you think for one moment you could go to an Asian or Arabic country and have a 'Canada Town' or a 'Little Britain' you are delusional. Years ago, my father who was an army officer went to Oman to help train their soldiers. On arrival he was given a list 5 A4 pages long of things he COULD NOT DO in that country. He didn't complain and abided by that. One Westerner broke one of the rules accidentally and literally had to leave the country taking nothing with him. Why is ok to enforce culture one way, but not the other? That's your problem. There's an agenda here.
Have you served or been overseas to Oman yourself? Why are you making all these assumptions based off what happened over 20 years ago to someone else's life
Oman literally has a whole subsection of the population that are descended from immigrants from Pakistan. UAE and other gulf countries are no different and filled with immigrants and even neighborhoods that contain mostly or solely of expats.
This does not only apply to Canada, this applies to the entire west.
perhaps, the West should stop bombing countries and creating refugees.

Canada is the second largest country in the world in terms of area alone with a VERY small tax paying population. We only have 18 million taxpayers (remember the other half are children or senior citizens living on their pensions). We NEED immigrants to invest in businesses, to pay taxes, to work and do all the jobs we don’t have enough Canadians for.

I’m not for or against immigration. But which definition of immigration tells you that you have to integrate your culture? On the contrary, something you may not know living in Canada, but across the world, and even here, they tell people that they want diversity. Diversity doesn’t just mean your race.
I would say it's okay to have your own belief while going to another country. I do. The point is when your own beliefs clash with the host's system. You need to acknowledge that you come here as a visitor and you need to accommodate with that.

Criticism is NOT racism.
As immigrants, even we want immigration to be slowed down, give some time for social services and housig to catch up.
Wage suppression, debt collateral and a non-homogenous populace more important to governing political and corporate bodies.
It will never catch up, they hooked the suckers and now hope is gone.
it's not even that, it's cultural space, that seems to be denied to White people only
Housing and social services will never catch up after we went from a democracy to an oligarchy. These issues are allowed to propagate by the ones profiting from it. All social services are slowly going from public to private and housing has to stay limited to keep property values from ever lowering. 'Best we can do is a 5 years longer mortgage'...'here's a quarter percent lower interest rate'

You'd think all skilled workers would be incentivized to stay in their country of birth. No country wants to lose Doctors, Nurses, Electricians etc.
People always seem to be surprised about why populations turn against immigrants. Small numbers of immigrants that assimilate into your culture that don't require a lot of social services can be absorbed into the social fabric of a town, city, or country. Massive influx of foreigners don't speak your language and require years of social benefits that they don't pay in to, rapidly turn the existing population hostile. Morality has nothing to do with it. There is a reason Sun Tsu had an entire chapter in the Art of War about using refugees to overburden your enemy and destroy him afterwards.
Its the exact same thing in europe. I really think theres a greater goal behind the elites motivation to bring in more immigrants to the west.
One or two families of immigrants in a neighborhood is generally not considered a threat. However, when you have tens of thousands of immigrants in a community it becomes a threat. The threat is converted into CONCERNS about housing, public services, and health and welfare. As if immigrants come into the neighborhood and instantly swamping the public services. That seems to be the general tenor of these comments.
What social benefits do you think non-citizens get in most countries? Most immigrants work any job they can to make ends meet.
@@Sam-gy3ok exactly. Because of those influx in supply, companies are allowed to pick and choose the lowest wage available. Driving EVERYONES pay down.

Immigration is 1 piece of the puzzle that is getting scapegoated.
I'm Singaporean and people around the world should look into how Singapore has policies in place to control immigration and provide fair and transparent government housing for each Singaporean so that they will not fall into this predicament of homelessness and your quality of life is based on the merit of what you can contribute not like how many Europeans countries have a social welfare system that breeds this problem of "anti immigration" sentiments because they come in get a social welfare payment and housing while the citizens suffer. I'm also now living in Ireland and its basically what Canada is going through now. It's failed government policies.
I visited Singapore and was enthralled by an exhibit at the museum that explained how your government turned the country around from so many problems to such amazing advancements. The West is incredibly arrogant and never looks to the East for ideas which is a shame!
Not failed so much as ideological idiocy.
They should also look into Singapore banning chewing gum
Social welfare system is absent in the majority of third-world nations and prsesent in the majority of advanced economies - this alone shows the merit it offers to society. It is dishonest to suggest that immigrants migrate seeking to abuse the welfare system.
From the policies you mention in Singapore, it seems that people with disabilities, the elderly, the invalid, struggling single parents, persons who've lost their jobs, etc who cannot contribute either permanently or for a period of time depending on their situation in life will therefore have no quality of life - sounds very cruel and harsh! If you are in Ireland as an Asian, I'm surprised how you haven't yet found the link between the housing and homelessness crisis and the landlord politicians who make up the majority of politicians in the major 2 political parties that govern the nation , Fine Fail and Fine Gael! It's not immigrants! It's not failed government policies. It's a government of rich and selfish landlords who benefit by NOT creating housing to meet the demand (the EU and UN have sent multiple warnings to the scarcity in housing!!) but instead eternally driving up rent-prices to continue greedily profiting from real-estate and by also teaming up with vulture funds and doing much worse, honestly how can you not see that?!
By that vein, I suppose you would also say next that the Irish health system (the worst public (&private) health service I have experienced in my life) is also to be blamed on the immigrants?
This myopic view of problems making an easy scapegoat out of immigrants is not just ignorant but dangerous !

Most of the problem at least here in Ontario is due to the Ford government. They allowed a large number of fly by night schools to open up to attract foreign students so Ontario is flooded with foreign students. The problem got so bad that the Trudeau government put a cap on the number of visas they would issue, something that has never been done in Canada before. Next there is provincial nominated immigration. It is supposed to allow provincial governments to target specific areas where they have labour shortages. Ontario has nine different streams! When you add all of the occupations in the nine streams together it covers almost everything. Basically if an employer says they need a worker to fill a job they can fill out a form and the government of Ontario will nominate someone to immigrate to Canada.
It was the conservatives who got rid of any national housing program and doubled down on austerity. Pierre Poilieve may reduce immigration numbers, but by doubling down on austerity and the insistence that the private market will provide for all our needs, he will keep housing prohibitively expensive.
@@Brained05 That is an interesting take. The problem is that none of the right wing will ever talk about this part of the problem.

Enforcing immigration law is not xenophobia. The sooner the West embraces that, the sooner we'll have our countries back.

For some history: The previous two governments only hit 20-25% of their stated immigration goals, and were heavily criticized by the provincial governments and business community for it. The current government actually achieved the immigration targets that business and the provinces were demanding. Most of the provincial governments are boasting about how much their populations have grown, and are taking credit for it, but blaming the federal government for the problems the increased population has caused. It is the provinces that have failed to grow health care, education and other services to match the increased population that they asked for, and it is the provinces that haven't increased minimum wages to match the increased cost of living, and it is the provinces that are responsible for housing.
The businesses now have to pay 2 workers instead of 1 as all your so called needed immigrants productivity rate fell in half!
The business communities, constantly begging for cheap labour, need to stop being listened to.
It is the Federal gov that canvassed and encouraged millions of mostly Indians into the country in a very short period of time. If provinces are to blame for not keeping up, as you say, then they weren't ready for the federal gov to do this and it should never have occurred.

Why do Canadians keep voting for Justin Trudeau?
70% didn't vote for him. The way the parliamentary system works allows a fringe guy like him to become PM.

1 - Participation rate to elections is very low. Either people are thinks their the current election system doesn't work or all major political parties serve same plans
2 - quarter of Canadian work force works for government as private sector bleeds constantly while the government hires new people to reduce unemployment.
Because he bribes us with our own money and also the media.

This situation seems to be inconsistent with the financial situation of many hard-working individuals in our community.

@@brianschmidt9919Why hello fellow brethren with a ban. I too took my ban from unpopularopinion as a badge of honor
@@brianschmidt9919 i had a similar experience... several times😂 and for various seemingly offensive opinions on a plethora of topics🤡
All other countries came to Canada to start their own country. Just look at around.
They form their communities... especially China and India are nations that are difficult to assimilate culturally.... they inhabit mini China and mini India throughout the country 😂
Australia didn’t have enough houses for the citizens already living here. Then the government let a record number of immigrants in last year. I wonder who is benefitting from this situation?
Im not a conspiravy theorist, but it genuinely looks all interconnected in the world. We all have the same issues in our countries
The same government
@@waheeb_myou should become one
Australia.because Aussies are benefiting from weapon sales which is used to create conflict in other parts of the world.Then comes the refugees.
Your jobs are supported by military industrial complex
Developers of condos and absentee landlords who are sitting overseas, ( i..e China) are the main beneficiaries. Here in Canada the fed govt abolished in 1984 a federal subsidy given to developers to build many affordable regular and social housing units in major cities. On average around 400000 to 500000 immigrants settle into Canada annually, so with this massive influx and the existing shortages which are worsened by the free reign given to developers to build much less and squeeze for rents more and lack of government intervention, it is no surprise vast majority here are struggling badly. How is it in Sydney or Melbourne ? I would think Australia is not much better.
Why? Fewer doctors, fewer houses, higher crimes, more bigotry, more radical protests, and so on, and so forth. Is this a serious question?????
Yes, try getting a job as a doctor if you are an immigrant...just be prepared to be an Uber Driver or food service worker in Timmy's. Immigrants amd Housing isnot a. problem, there is a chronic shortage of tradespeople across Canada and US, there are hundreds of skilled tradespeople Worldwide who want to come to Canada but are told there qualifications are 'not comparable'....come on guys get real here! Houses built in other countries are not mud huts.
@@redcanoe14 The reason for there being a need of skilled labourers is because companies wont pay people accepteable wages, and by pouring in new people the pay will keep decreasing, while the cost of everything else will go up
No its marxist nonsense about "diversity" for the sake of it.
Fewer doctors and engineers
We need to do immigration *responsibly*. The mass of international student visas combined with lack of regulation of colleges and universities regarding their housing, courses, and admissions is one place to start changing.
They’ve made changes already.
@@polishtheday Not enough, needs way more changes.
@@polishthedaythey suggested they would reduce student visas, which wouldn't even dent the problem. Then they backtracked on even that.
I worked at Sheridan College, Brampton. Sheridan management, Unionized Employees, and Union itself was all part of this. Management visited India, held events there, promoted Sheridan programs. Sheridan College intentionally created 'useless' programs so International students can easily get admission. Programs such as 2 years Pharmacy Tech that will get you the job of Cashier at Pharmacy.
Yes, you need to cut international students coming to Canada
The problem is they leave a country for more opportunity than try to make it identical to the place they were originally from! Sorry but that’s not how it works
The people I know who are most against our current immigration system are the immigrants themselves or the children of immigrants. Most people here are not against immigrants specifically, they are against the current system and uncontrolled migration.
It’s called gatekeeping and internalized racism. Stop gaslighting yourself and others by saying there is nothing racist in this discussion
Don't you mean,,,,"Anti-Invasion" sentiment?
Same in the US...we are disgusted by the gov't lies & betrayal.
Canada needs to control this issue. I'm from Japan and moved to Canada, even I feel like they must control it.
Why would you move from Nihon to Canada. It sucks here?
I'm so sorry to hear that. 😂
I've never visited, but based on what little I know, Japan seems incredible.
Surely it must be better than this dumpster fire?
They should send you back, according to you.
Japan is much better than here, especially now
So you'll be ok with getting kicked out of canada, right??
Honestly this is a worldwide problem affecting not only first world countries but also growing economies, Im Mexican and a big wave of first world immigrants to my country have raised the prices in housing, food, etc, a lot of us has been forced to move to find more affordable prices, since previous rents doubled or in some cases got triplicated.
And I know they are moving because the situation in their own countries have gone so hard that everyone is looking for a better chance, the world governments needs to do something because life is getting hard for EVERYONE.
Canada needs to pump the breaks before we end up like England
you mean UK
@@gwendee5070 you mean most of Europe
@@elmarco777 Germany is worse off than England.
I think we are already worse off than UK
No it's not. Germany has been actually handling the issue.@@Melior_Traiano
"Canada doesn't need another million Tim Hortons workers & Uber Drivers"..... EXACTLY 🤦🏻♂️💀💀💀
Generalisation but ok
@@thestreetwalker4842 Go order uber eats 10 times and see for yourself.
@@thestreetwalker4842 fact. Only a small proportion are STEM, medical etc. Also missed long haul truck driver and Amazon. That is irrelevant. Your country needs to up its game to actually increase per capita GDP, not simply upping GDP free flow of cash which is simply a function of volume of humans that need to eat and shelter. GDP is a very artificial number without context in your country.
and they don't get your order right!
This is true. I'm a manager at a Tim Hortons in Southern ontario. Smaller city, 30,000 pop. I think there is 4 of us white Canadians...the rest are all Indian students. Probably 20 or more.
Citizenship does not guarantee integration!
It's the countries that offer big welfare benefits is why they come here and to Europe
Let's run through the benefits of immigration for Western nations:
1. None.
Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
Very true. Great speech
@@loosegoose9647 Glad to hear your Ted Talk in charlatan economics.
How can a young family of 3; with a wife who may have to reduce her hours due to their young infant compete with 4-6 people who are willing and eager to share a one bedroom apartment. And yet, they talk of a demographic shortfall.
That situation is horrifying and becoming more and more common
We are in a similar situation.
Most Indians who have been coming here are doing so by signing up for low-value courses offered by these diploma mills and they don't have the means to sustain their lifestyle here. What they do know is that they can earn an income through a side hustle by working as uber drivers or food delivery drivers during their free time. Most Indians who have been coming here since 2019 come here with the sole aim of getting a PR visa - education is just an excuse to get the visa.
The problem started in 2020, rules were changed a lot during the pandemic.
Exactly !!!
@@aaaaaadasjfodsfdjfbdshifb Well the provinces would need to put billions more into education of tutions tiple to make up for the lack of international students
crazy how you blame indians when census data show chinese is the largest immigrant group lool/ most of the immigration happening in canada at least is legal. The government willingly let's in hundreds of thousands of people a year. Say it's the amount without housing, not "illegal" we don't have a border problem. We need more investment into our infrastructure and to hold our greedy corporate monopolies accountable. Immigration is 1 piece of the puzzle that is getting scapegoated.
No wonder local youth has 40% unemployed
Multi-million corporations lobbying politicians for access to dirt cheap labour, and thereby causing the lowering of living standards across the board.
And 🤡Trudeau makes it possible!
you might be surprised that "dirt cheap labour" is usually more competent than you, because they work harder
why pay a lot for mediocre and entitled person when you can have superior quality for less money ?
While your tax dollars pay 50 percent of those employees salaries
It's now mostly colleges and universities. Check out campuses. International students outnumber domestic students
@@tatjana7008 so you're suggesting instead of investing in canadians, just outsource?
Because we have a weak PM and a liberal party that hate Canadians
Why? Because immigration is unchecked and unbalanced. If you want a prosperous multicultural society everyone has to be on board with that and it has to be fair for everyone. In the West that balance is not there. If you think for one moment you could go to an Asian or Arabic country and have a 'Canada Town' or a 'Little Britain' you are delusional.
Years ago, my father who was an army officer went to Oman to help train their soldiers. On arrival he was given a list 5 A4 pages long of things he COULD NOT DO in that country. He didn't complain and abided by that. One Westerner broke one of the rules accidentally and literally had to leave the country taking nothing with him. Why is ok to enforce culture one way, but not the other? That's your problem. There's an agenda here.
Multicultural societies do not work, at most you can have a little spice in a soup, but we are at the point where the spice is the soup.
Have you served or been overseas to Oman yourself? Why are you making all these assumptions based off what happened over 20 years ago to someone else's life
Multiculturalism doesn't work in the long term. It doesn't create a unified, homogeneous people, only division.
Oman literally has a whole subsection of the population that are descended from immigrants from Pakistan. UAE and other gulf countries are no different and filled with immigrants and even neighborhoods that contain mostly or solely of expats.
Absolutely!! Well said 👍🏻👍🏻
