I think many Indians say that Canada is getting too many Punjabis and not enough non Punjabi asians and non Punjabi Indians. Soon likely 4% of Canadians will be Sikh compared to only 1% of Indians in India soon being Sikh.
@@randolphpinkle4482 How in your view can Canada address the Khalistani threat? Almost all Khalistanis are born in Canada or have lived in Canada a long time.

Canada seriously needs a country cap for immigration, like the US does. In 2023, there were 139k new permanent residents from India, compared to the second largest which was china at 31k. This is not normal
@@PATRIOT-Canada Many scammed their way in and took advantage of the system as much as possible. As a comparison from 2015, the philippines had the first spot at 50k and india at 39k.

that’s why people don’t even get to have a job interview. many companies have their recruitment process outsourced to Indians, or even Indians in India, and your resumes get trashed immediately if your names do not smell like the poop on the beach.
Fantastic video. Canada needs to reassess its approach to immigration. We need to focus on sustainable, long-term solutions and prioritize our citizens first. 🍁#canadafirst #responsibleimmigration
Ladies, I love the way you guys take turns to speak. It breaks the monotony of listening to one voice which is common with most TH-camrs & we dont really mind the Russian accent. You guys also make use of relevant newsclips & data to support your arguments. Truly love your channel which also had loads of sensible arguments. Good job ladies!
There are 2 reasons behind bringing in so many international students. 1. Greed of universities and colleges so they can charge them an exorbitant amount of fees and make billions. (International Students pay 3 times the fees compared to a canadian citizen) 2. Prop up the prices of the real estate market which is already in a bubble to avoid prices from collapsing.
Don’t forget the fake schools too and these older student know it’s fake because they din’t even show up for class, faster way to citizenship and they work instead! I can’t stand scammers!!
And now these greedy universities and colleges are saying they will have to start charging more because the international students were subsidizing the cost. Absolutely disgusting.
Thank you! This is truth to be told! Canada is in the situation it is due to its own Canadians who have broken it and the international students/immigrants are paying the price!!!!!! And the low invome canadian citizens as well, of course.
@@parkerbohnn Canadian standard of living was already going down much before international students started to come in. That's why they conspired to bring in so many students to use their money to boost their economy. Unfortunately it didn't work, coz that money didn't reach local Canadians, the rich cronies in Canada got that money. So you should blame your own cronies.
Being an Indian immigrant, I agree with them. Too many people were let in a shorter span of time. Most of them don’t even try to blend in and act like an entitled brat. I hope situations get better in coming years and Canada starts to prosper again. 🇨🇦
Canada is a proud mosaic of cultures, and not a bullshit US style melting pot where immigrants are expected to basically abandon thier cultural heritage to blend in so racist white A-holes feel less uncomfortable.
It’s a musing, that these two women have more insight into the problems of Canada than the entire Parliament of the country. Perhaps we should get them to run the country…
Thanks ladies. I have a person from Serbia who I hired many years ago. He is a professional and one of the best people I have ever employed. He h& his wife understood what it took to come to Canada. There was no easy path for them but they perserveered. They both have succeeded & are a great part of Canada now.
True @tubbyrob some are extremely hardworking and ready to embrace the Canadian Culture and unfortunately there are those who are here to abuse and not respect the laws in Canada.
The problem is not with immigration but not having balanced immigration because you know there's huge corruption in the system when high percentage of immigrants are cheap labour with international students and temp foreign workers program from mostly India. It's disgusting that it's displacing Canadians and having blatant discrimination by hiring only Indians at almost every corner. These businesses and the government need to be taken to court for enabling such racist discrimination against Canadians.
I agree with you 100% I have a sense that a corruption ring was in full force since pandemic, bringing people from India in droves. The way cultural landscape has changed in GTA because of this is mind blowing. These people are getting caught in majority of crimes here and they have made a complete mockery of Canadian governance and justice system.
These latest immigration policies have been a slap in the face of immigrants such as my parents. We immigrated back in 1982. My parents, along with me any my brothers, were told that if we becomes a burden on the province ( Manitoba ) in the following 3 years, we would be deported. During last 5 years, it seems that anyone could come in, claim asylum, and drain the system.
it is JUSTIN T who destroyed immigration system . NDP Liberals worse govt and bad actor( college and immigration agent ) made money.please keep up good work by showing honest information . Main media is slient . Justin Resign
Loved this quote you said near the end,I have faith in Canada 🇨🇦❤️ So does every patriotic Canadian and the honest hardworking immigrant who respects, admires and integrates with the Canadian culture 🫡
Why in your view has Canada had one of the worst growth rates out of the world's 60 or so countries and economic zones since 2015? I think the reason is wokeness and socialism. Sadly, Canadians are increasingly becoming hostile to successful ethnics such as jews and asians--driven by the very dangerous woke socialist ideology.
Put a percentage cap on countries that immigration comes from. There is no way one area should have 50% immigration to Canada. Cap it at 10 or 20% per country
@ it’s a fact a lot of fake degrees and experiences been use to get through. To check all that will slow up the system. If the cap is on it no matter the merits it will always be balance for all countries. Everyone get an equal chance.
@@parkerbohnn How has Canada been hurt by most Canadian millionaires being migrants and almost half of Canadian millionaires being ethnic asian? Let us say that in the future, over 2/3rds of Canadian top students, elites, millionaires and billionaires become migrants and ethnics; how would Canada be hurt by this?
In trying to solve one problem (avoiding a recession), another problem was created (too many too quickly). I pray the government makes decisions not only to make those who complain happy but also what’s best for the good of Canada and Canadians. Time will tell.
Mass migration greatly benefits the economy of a capitalist non woke country. Without mass talented migration, how will Canada be able to reduce the budget deficit and improve the economy?
Just like the old saying goes, “a rotten apple spoils the barrel.” Bad policies brought undesirable immigrants here who literally destroyed the path to permanent residency to many great immigrants who would make a difference to this country.
You 2 really nailed all the issues that this country is having and it’s those same issues that I really want to voice out to the public as a citizen but can’t for the fear of being accused as racist and might get killed by someone for it. Thank you so much for voicing out the same thoughts and issues that I have for this country. Both of you deserve to be citizens here.
As a current international student I can say I am happy for all this changes Canada is doing in the immigration system sadly it was taken advantage by too many indians and people from africa that came here with not the best intentions, I can confidently say if in my case is not possible to stay I will happily return to central america with good memories and good friendships and start working again. thats life
17:12 Boy can I relate to this. I decided to take some courses at Humber and found myself as one of the few actual Canadians in the class. I had to become the default proofreader for every group assignment because everyone's English was so poor and they didn't do basic things like cite sources. I had to call out two of my group members for plagiarizing. At least one of my classmates had never used a computer before.
Sounds like it would have been easy for you to graduate with a 4.0 GPA then i do hear your point on relating to the video point. But also this gives you an advantage to win, right? So go on and WIN!
@@nochso6835Its group projects though, 4th year business school with people who cant write a paragraph, let alone a business report. As a grad you get no respect from employers who see the school as a money making day care center.
@@nathanguergis That's messed up for real. Need to file a complaint about that professor. That's a valid concern. I see how sometimes it's not an advantage if you are forced into a group project graded that way. But most of the time, having to compete with job applicants who cannot speak the language - is AN ADVANTAGE FOR YOU!
Yes , it ruins the reputation of a collage with both employees and the domestic students as colleges are seen as diploma mills , sadly they decided to put profit first before quality of students, many of them lie and submit fake English test results
@@nochso6835 yes, but DEI changes that. For example, have you dealt with revenue Canada lately? Did any agents sound like English is their first language.
7:37 the number of Indian immigrants are more than the top 5 (2-6) combined. The fix to the immigration system is very easy. Put a cap on number of Indian student visas, temporary work permits, and green cards to encourage diversity and fairness for countries underrepresented in the immigration process. This will also strengthen and empower Canadian multiculturalism replacing social tension with harmony among the MANY equally represented minorities.
India is a vastly more diverse country than Canada. India has 1,000 languages and perhaps 5 million ethnic groups with different cultures. Different Indians are very culturally different from each other. Parts of India are similar to silicon valley California. Other parts are more similar to New York. Other parts are similar to China. And so forth. India also has a rapidly growing number of immigrants moving to India. Why do you oppose meritocracy? Shouldn't migration be based on merit? "This will also strengthen and empower Canadian multiculturalism replacing social tension with harmony among the MANY equally represented minorities." This woke idiotic mindset will destroy Canada. What makes you think there is social tension? Isn't the issue that woke socialism is making Canada poor? Let us assume that over 1/3 of Canadian top performing students, elites, millionaires, billionaires become ethnic Indian; how would this harm Canada? What is wrong with self-actualization, perfection, excellence, success, merit?
India is multicultural country? And more multicultural than Canada?? that is the biggest joke I have ever heard. Clearly, you need educate yourself more to tell the difference between multi-ethnic society and multicultural society which are very different terms. India is ONLY a multi-ethnic society because as you mentioned yourself it includes many different ethnic minorities. However, the country is predominated by the Hindu majority who fully dominate the economy and politics marginalizing other minorities. Among these minorities are 15% Muslims who have lived in India and contributed to its culture for more than 1000 years yet are described by Modi and his radical Hindu government: "Infiltrators". The same regarding other minorities such as Punjabi who are so tired from discrimination and marginalization are now seeking to create their own country. Modi is sending assassins to persecute them inside Cananda. It is clear that you are one of these Hindu Nationalists who built a corupt failure of country that the dream of every indian child, hindu and non-hindu, is to immigrate and leave the country. Canada prouds itself of being the only true multicultural country in the world and it has been so more than 50 years. I would have told you to go read research papers in Sociology about Canada, but from your ignorance filled response it is obviously you don't have the mental capacity to comprehend such research.
The issue is that Canada is not Indian. Values are very different from history, traditions, and culture. We need to give more opportunities to other countries and to jobs. People from your country only hire their own. Canadians hire from other countries and cultures.
@@andres-y9q2l Your socialist woke mindset is why Canada now has 60% of the USA's per capita income. And why ethnically asian and jewish (and probably Igbo, Russian etc.) Canadians dominate the Canadian top performing students, elites, millionaires, billionaires. India as a member of the commonwealth governed by British Common law is more similar to Canada in many ways than the USA is. Canada's resentment and blowback against jews and asian harms the Canadian economy. If Canada were smart Canada would try to make India (a fellow liberal free democracy with shared values and long term interests) Canada's largest trading, business, investment, joint R&D partner after the USA in lieu of China. And also increase trade and investment with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam too.
The "Pros/Cons" part of the video lacks granularity (i.e. no one is arguing that we reduce immigration without also addressing supply-side housing solutions) - but the closing sentiments seem on point: "if you come to the country and believe you should be handed everything on a silver platter - all without learning the language or local norms: you don't deserve to be here". - I think this is what most Canadians are agreeing with when asked in recent polls.
I just fled the country days ago, now at home! Some prices here as well are too high but literally a bit similar that Canada ( fast-food, transport as instance). Some friends asked me why I back? I just said the same thing you’re presenting about migration… Let’s see how it goes in the future
Nursing is not the only important job, lots of Nursing talk, what about plumbers, electrical workers you the people who build the hospital and power it?
The entire Immigration System got screwed up somewhere, due to Government Ministers who had or have NO clue what the job entailed. I came to Canada in mid 1970s from ENGLAND. I was not allowed into Canada, unless I could prove that I could READ, WRITE, and SPEAK ENGLISH (many will attest to this) I had to prove that I was EDUCATED enough, to be able to be employed. I had to have enough money so NOT to have to access government funds. Please think about this! Today, it is much different to get to Canada. I guess ILLEGAL immigration is now, part of the Canadian problem.
Those people who are trying to match the official Express entry requirements are highly educated professionals with excellent English spoken and written and non the less they are struggling to get their visas while so called “refugees” who can barely speak the language are all welcomed to Canada and have a free way.
I had the same issue in 2011 with my work permit. I was born and raised in the US, had a recent college from University of Texas (and I still had to take the language test); French is even my 2nd language. I pointed out that many other immigrants cannot speak either language have permanent residence or citizenship; I was called racist. The funny part is I married Canadian born Chinese in 2012 whom sponsored me for perm res in 2017 (before my work permit would expire); when we go out, he has been questioned on his status in Canada. Irony.
Hello Anna and Anastasia your channel is truly a hidden gem full of useful information and insight. I am an international student myself and I agree with all your points in the video, Canada used immigration to fix a deeper problem and that is its difficulty to incentivize the economy by having a heavily regulated environment, high taxes and low productivity. It will definitely alleviate some of the pressure on the system but, the real cause is still there. The first sector that is going to be affected will be the education as colleges and universities became over reliant with the revenue coming from Int. Students (which is not particularly small) and institution will need to adapt. When I first came here I fell in love with the country and I really feel fortunate to enjoy this beautiful place and doing everything to assimilate and integrate myself into the culture. I think here you can have a sense of hope of things improving in the future (something that is not the case in my home country) but if they do not fix the underlying problem it does not matter how much immigration they reduce, Canadians will not see a significant improvement. Keep the awesome work!!!
⦁ Who is Hardeep Nijjar? Vikash Yadav? Lawrence Bishnoi? Goldy Brar? Amit Shah? Arsh Dalla? Gurjant Singh? Arshdeep Singh? ⦁ Why are Canadians having to deal with Sikh & Hindu diasporas stirring up tribal hatreds in CANADA even though it all stems from their ancestral home? ⦁ Why did Canada have to launch investigations in regards to foreign interference in Canadian elections, stemming from India? ⦁ Why is BC & Ontario taking steps to possibly outlaw The Caste System at workplaces? Due to numerous labour complaints from their fellow Indians. ⦁ Why is Canada having to deal with the repercussions of greedy Ghost Consulting in India targeting Indian students? Filling their heads with PR fantasies. Leading to the vast majority of Indian international STUDENTS in Canada insisting (no matter what?) on PR versus returning home without it when SCHOOLING ends. Contributing to (not causing) a housing crisis. CANADIANS never promised students PR. CANADIANS never told students to risk life savings or get into debt. ⦁ Why is Canada having to deal with fraudulent acceptance letters created by Indian 'consultants' and given to their own people/students? ⦁ Why have Canadians seen social media videos that Indian nationals have posted all advertising Canadian PR & visas & permits & schools & jobs etc., like they're selling shirts? Posted hourly for years & rarely in English (with very very rare input from Canadians). With colleges and universities unable to control their conduct. ⦁ Why did Canada not have numerous PRIVATE 'diploma mills' (most in/near Indian neighborhoods) until 40% of international students were from India? Schools that Canada is now shutting down. ⦁ Why is the title "IELTS spouse" known to Canadians now? ⦁ Why have Canadians seen Canadian housing being scooped up en-mass as investment vehicles by, and for, Indian nationals? Often these 'landlords' also cram 20+ students in a small home and charge each way too much for rent. ⦁ Why are Canadians primarily seeing Indians only protesting & waving their flags on Canadian streets making demands (because they don't have enough credentials to remain in Canada)? Carrying signs accusing very tolerant multicultural Canada of racism!!! ⦁ Why are Indian STUDENTS asking for Canadian asylum (which Indians rarely qualify for)? Canada is considering fast-tracking asylum refusals (to prevent asylum system abuse). ⦁ Why are Indians using Canada to illegally cross into the USA? Who is Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel? ⦁ Why are most tech support scams, phishing, and identity theft scams in North America originating from India? Plus major auto theft rings have recently formed shipping stolen car parts to lower Asia and northern Africa. When arrested, many are from where? Research and see. Speed racing causing injuries and death. Research and see. ⦁ Why were Canadian food banks & other charity services recklessly advertised on social media in Indian languages? ⦁ Why is a country with over a billion people now badmouthing Canada and hurting it's great reputation? Canada, one of the top 10 most peaceful and kindhearted and law abiding and multicultural and INVITING countries on Earth! How do you think this makes Canadians feel? And why for the first time in over 50+ years, are most Canadians becoming distrustful of immigration????? With stuff like this, Canadians are getting more and more upset. It’s not hate. It’s not racism. It’s a normal reaction to an influx of any culture if it doesn’t assimilate and blend to a country’s way of living, including rules and conduct norms. Support the country you live in … or live in the country you support. Canadians want multi-culturism to succeed and for all people (including immigrants) to be okay. Now Canadians are VERY happy with IRCC's recent changes (reductions & multifaceted investigations & deportations etc.). Including long-term Asian Canadians MOST upset (by all of this).
I really enjoyed watching your presentation. As an immigrant myself, I can relate to the challenges many newcomers face. While I sympathize with their situation, I also strongly believe that those coming into the country should be thoroughly vetted. One important point you may have overlooked is the growing lack of confidence in the government's ability to perform effectively. This erosion of trust is leading to a decline in domestic investment, with many of our own citizens seeking opportunities abroad. Additionally, external investment is dropping significantly.
I moved here in April of this year from the UK so language wasn't an issue. Got my PR the hard, patient way. I can't understand how a language requirement is only now being applied. If I was moving to somewhere where my language was barely spoken, or only spoken in a small corner of my new town/city, I'd do my best to learn at least a conversational level of the new country's language, even more if my potential work field required specific terminology and language... It wouldn't occur to me to move to somewhere and not be able to communicate.
I also don't understand how Canada let in people who can't speak a word of French or English, or barely understandable. And I think that to get PR, there should be interviews. That way it would be easier to find the liars.
Here in Québec, we will only take in immigrants who speaks Fully french ... That's a Wonderful thing! I bet that englo canadians dont want to lose their French side! :) Bonne journée!
@@JJeessiee Je connais des gens ici à Montréal qui ont obtenu la citoyenneté canadienne mais qui n'ont toujours pas appris le français, même après des années de résidence. Ils restent dans leur communautés et ne sont pas intéressés à s'intégrer.
People are delusional if you think immigrants will flow to the less populated areas… I live in Vancouver… Do you really think the Asians here will put up with living anywhere else? I lived many years in Asia and the people there want to live among their own kind… Chinese with Chinese as here in Richmond… Punjab with Punjabi as in Surrey… that will never change… Especially in a multicultural society like Canada, where assimilation is actively discouraged.
I find the mixing like it will automatically happen is problematic. A lot of white people won't say it but they want to live by people who look like them. Most, however are fine if their neighbours are other backgrounds as long as they share the same culture/religion/values. Most whites/blacks/other asians don't want to integrate with Indians. My street has gone from 9 white families to now 3. All houses sold are now Indian rooming houses since the homes in my area are close by the college and very big (the house beside me just sold and I was hoping for a family but got more indian students again). It's odd when I talk to my non white friends and at first they were afraid to say but now they want to move to a different part in the city or further up north as they can't stand the invasion. If Korean/Chinese can't be around much of their own kind, from talking to them they prefer being around whites. I feel like there's going to be a time very soon where european valued citizens have no where to live. Friends and family keep going up north but even the most deserted super small northern town will have indian staff working there, not sure where they come from or how they get there but in places that were almost 100% white 5 years ago, now you can't find a white working any cash register job.
This was a really great analysis of Canada’s current immigration issues 👍👍. It blows my mind how politicians can make such obvious mistakes. Hopefully (🙏) this country can regain some balance socially and economically.
Thanks for posting,..It's so important to get the view point of someone who themselves is an immigrant,..I'm a 10th generation Canadian,so,for myself I've been saying this for yrs,....having your input was so refreshing...thanks,...subscribed...
The fact that you could get the same amount of money on CERB as working a full time job that pays above minimum wage. I made $2 above minimum and I got about $100 above CERB over the month....... All this is why so many said no to working their backsides off to live paycheque to paycheque. Myself, I need to have a routine. So I went back to work ASAP after my job being eliminated at the start of the pandemic. Now everywhere I look I do not recognize Canada. I feel like i'm in a different country. The old way of life has been wiped out in a few years..... Learn Punjabi while you can, won't have a choice by the end of the decade.
I love Canada , came here with hope to get a better life , I came here a year and half ago studying biotechnology sadly I don't think Canada is suitable for life anymore , I have never got a job no matter how hard I try ! I have applied for over a 2000+ jobs , I got rejected by dishwasher jobs ! I have over 7 years of logistics and warehouse experience in addition to bachelor in medical laboratory technology with near 3 years experience in lab which is " supposed to be in very high demand" , so I think I will pull the plug and go back home after this semester , if I can't get a job as a dishwasher how can I get jobs in biotechnology field ! going back home empty handed even tho I haven't and will not complete my studies is a bumber but I believe it will be a better choice for me , I appreciate my time here and wish it gets better for the people who live here.

@@arihia45 nop he's not. You don't know the state Canada is in right now. There are so many immigrants from one country and most of these franchise's are also owned by them (Eg: Tim's, freshco). Who are they gonna hire? Their own people plus there's so many of them here where there's competition within their own people so now you need referrals to get minimum wage jobs. Also this country which sources the most immigrants is huge and they have racism within their own people so people from North wouldn't give a chance to people from the South and so on.

Thank you, great video. Excellent overview of the issues, which you understand better than most Canadians because you've lived thru the transition. We need your pragmatic reasoning to be heard by politicians. I'm not anti-immigration but rather support targeted immigration. We have to make immigration work for Canada and immigrants alike. We have to increase our GDP thru targeted investments in our society.
In my MBA program we had more than a few peers that we all knew were gonna tear the team appart. No English, no French and no intention to learn. More than once I had to serve as the Spanish translator.
I am a Canadian citizen, have undergone four surgeries, live with one kidney, and graduated from college in Accounting and Finance in Canada. I pity myself that for over three years now, I have been doing general labor in a warehouse. Despite many vacancies, I keep getting rejected! In the warehouse where I currently work, three of the four Accountants are on work permits, and they have no education in Canada!
thank you very much for this honest and unbiased video. Indeed. some people have took advantage of the welcoming generosity of the Canadians. The figures in 7:37 do not lie and show you which country exploited this generosity way more than anyone else.
As someone who had to take the English assessment to attain the PGWP, I complained so much because I didn't come to Canada not knowing English, and I certainly did not graduate without the ability to read, write, listen and even present business cases in English. It pissed me off at the time cause he costs hundreds of dollars for something I was assessed on before even coming to the country. Did they really think my English got poorer after 3 years in the country? But I totally get your point why its needed now with the way things are. However, in the long run, I think reforms should be made at the student visa level. Canadian and other international students who worked hard to get into uni don't need a deadweight that cant speak the official language of the university and contribute meaningfully. Forget contributing to Canadian society, would the student himself learn anything?
As someone originally from Europe where renting is the norm rather than the exception, I think part of the problem is Canada's transition from a rural/suburban society to a heavily urbanized society. Real estate in cities is exponentially more expensive than on the "outer banks", so transitioning into an urbanized culture with the homeowner mindset of rural Canada is bound to crash. Add to that the pretty much uninhibited and unhinged foreign investment into empty luxury condos, et voila, you have your mess. Vancouver is basically a resort city for the internationally wealthy, it is not a livable location. As for immigration... I am an immigrant myself from Western Europe. I think what is tricky - same as in Europe - is when clusters of immigrants from other cultures concentrate in specific areas which leads to the emergence of subcultures rather than integration and lived diversity. Ironically, even for people FROM India, Pakistan, China, Indonesia, etc., this has lead to a situation that THEY THEMSELVES don't approve of, which is that they don't feel like living in Canada, but in a satellite region of their country of origin - most people who come to Canada want to live in and experience CANADA. You cannot blame people for wanting to improve their own and their families' lives by legally moving to economically stronger countries, it's a tale as old as time, it is the foundation of Canada and many other nation states. Who is responsible are the national government who have not balanced immigration and foreign investment to benefit the CANADIAN PEOPLE but to benefit corporations, short-term high gains, and to line their own pockets.
As an immigrant my self that live in this beautiful country for over 18yrs ..I love your video thats that's reviewing this out of control immigration system 😤😤😤 so many radical new immigrants ...they protest and fight each other everyday about things that is happening in their home country...😏
What everyone needs in Canada right now are as follows : 1) affordable housing; 2) decent employment; 3) reliable and dependable healthcare. I agree that immigration process needs to be made harder and stricter. Choose quality over quantity. Focus on getting new immigrants only in specified fields such as a) healthcare (doctors, nurses, healthcare workers); b) trades (construction/plumbing/carpentry/electricians/farmers); c) tech (IT/AI/Robotics...) and no need to bring students to do useless courses in management/finance and other fields. Develop other provinces besides Ontario/Quebec/BC/Alberta; build new townships and create jobs in these new towns; build more airports, highways, break monopoly of state owned air carriers and increase competition; ban all labor unions; decrease bureaucracy and regulations and keep it at a bare minimum; increase and improve work efficiencies
I wonder why no one thinks it happened during JT2.0, am I the only one who think it’s because Jagmeet Sigh belongs to same region of India, the immigration from that region exploded?
Your perspective on government and leadership is truly inspiring, and I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. If only our government officials possessed half of the wisdom and insight that you both do. You have a new subscriber.
I am from Canada. I have a number of Lonely Planet books, including 2 which deal with Canada. One is from 1994 and the other from 2005. In the older one, in the "Facts about the country" section, they mention the issue of "... too much immigration and the thorny allegations of racism which surround it.". This was 30 YEARS AGO! Hard to believe.
I always believe Canada's immigration intake was always too much even at 30 million people in the early mid 2000s, we always struggled abit to find work or well paying work that's secure, yet the government always brought in 250k consistently, the government only understands panicking instead of critical thinking, now under Trudope it's 4 times higher including fake students and visa overstaying.
Please get jobs at the CBC or in politics, YOU are what this country needs. What determined intellectual clarity and moral fortitude. If people like you leave this country I'm packing my bags.
Without his family name, Trudeau Jr would just be bumping around from job to job. He has not inherited a smidgen of his father’s intellect or stature. Well, when we have. P.M. who proudly announced that ‘the Budget will balance itself’, and that ‘Budget deficit is just a number ie. not something to be concerned about’, do we really expect anything good to come from his fiscal or social policies! The people who voted him in 3 times deserves what they are getting. Unfortunately, we are the collateral damage of their stupid trust in this clown!
Economy works in debit. The more debit means more money in the economy. All world economies works on debt... Yes debt for a person is an issue but for government it is no issue at all
The problem isn't so much how many immigrants we allow, it's the fact that they all go to Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. We need a policy of "If you want in, WE decide where you will live for the next 20 years." because they're not going where people are needed, they're congregating in specific places and forming enclaves where there's no places to live or infrastructure to support them.
Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction. It used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow. I thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values). This brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas. I have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country. Thank you for making these videos.
Canada does not have any problem with immigration, Canada has a problem with immigration from different races(non-white). I completely agree with this. It is a country of European (Only French and British). [ I am an Indian who lives in India, I 'do not' want to migrate to Canada or anywhere.]
Our roads and buildings are constantly under construction, and it’s never enough. I suspect crooked construction companies of cutting a lot of corners so that nothing lasts as long as it used to. Construction needs more oversight and stricter requirements. It should be more like running a restaurant, where you can get inspected and lose your license at any time.
I don't know that "had enough" is good way of putting it. The Canadian government was not prepared and had not done proper due diligence in determining a good number. Additionally, it's apparent that the "bad actor" comment by Trudeau eluded to people within the immigration department who were not following policy. Obviously, oversight was lacking.
Coming here has been rough, to say the least. On one hand, you see employers exploiting immigrants for cheap labor, and on the other, the government appears to allow immigration without adequate oversight. Now, I’m witnessing people with PhDs being denied the opportunity for permanent residency because someone, three years ago, abused the system by enrolling in an English graduate program and obtaining PR without even completing it. Immigrants are often victims of poor policy. Not everyone had access to quality education before arriving here, and it feels disheartening. Most people come with postgraduate degrees, yet their English is criticized- by people who barely speak one language, that’s harsh, being denied job opportunities while being super overqualified because of a lack of "Canadian labor experience" its just an excuse, my wife worked with multiple international projects, managed multiple offices back in our home country, and she has way more experience than like 50% of the people around her, yet, it took her almost 2 years to get an entry job as an Admin, while having more experience an actual University degree and being more professional integrity than her supervisors and peers. Inmigration it's supposed to be hard, but this is abuse and exploitation, but hey, let's blame everything bad happening in Canada to immigrants, best scapegoat ever.
"Canadian labor experience" From my personal experience. It's just means you need to learn to not work too efficiently so you don't accidentally make your canadian co-workers to look bad. Canadian firms are incredibly in-effective literally everybody tries to milk the job for as long as possible. and you get into trouble for working too fast.
If this can help you at all, after 35 years in this country, with PhD they will still tell you that you are lesser, that your english and now french is 'not like theirs'. BS country, time to go back to Europe.
Canadian consumers are ending this. It’s out of control and can’t continue. Canadians are boycotting businesses that use migrant and foreign workers instead of hiring Canadian citizens. It won’t end until the companies that use them get their sales gutted.
The true problem is the greed of colleges - bringing the wrong kind of international students. Remember - the same India supplies the brightest brains to the USA. Like myself - thousands of high skill STEM field Indians are finding Canada to be the North American ghetto. We had high paying jobs and comfortable life in India - we moved for better value of our taxes and overall high quality of life but we are finding ourselves surrounded by same chaos and much worse healthcare. Many like me pay 100s of thousands in taxes every year in Canada and yet find ourselves on flights to India to seek quick healthcare. Pls bring in healthcare workers and students - not the high schoolers seeking to live on Tim Horton and uber jobs for life.
Sending millions back will help a lot too many east Indians here this is Canada not east India Canada was a European ancestry country 97 percent up until 1970.
Girls, I came here as an international student, I make about 150K year, I pay aournd 45% of my salary in taxes and 2500 in rent, that is unfair. My job comes from the U.S. and now I have to face impossible PR process. Canada needs reforms for sure, but think twice, this is not the only country a highly skilled immigrant can go, the world is big, stop blaming international students for everything, we came here following the rules, and we did not write those rules. To be honest, I am seriously thinking about moving somewhere else including home. I have a nice house, pool and warm weather back home.
Agree fully. Canada suffers from massive brain drain and millionaire drain. Canada has a very low long term retention rate for migrants. What policies would you recommend Canada follow to improve the Canadian economy?
So canadin are being neglected, you are not giving favour to canada, you may leave beause we have canadian born kids who can do this job more efficiently. Many like u have taken canadiam job, u can go back and continue US job frm there
@@khankhan-li1ny this woke socialist mindset is why Canada's economy is falling apart. Its additive; there isn't a fixed pie. The more migrants Canada gets and the more money Canadian migrants make; the more money Canadian born people make. We benefit from the success of others.
@@khankhan-li1ny he’s paying boatloads in taxes annually. Then why isn’t this job being done by Canadians? Canadians aren’t willing to work at standard rates. All the smart Canadians move to America so where will smart people come from?
I’m an international student, from my perspective it seems like the government can’t keep themselves from messing with the economy, basically crippling it by regulations, making the market unable to take advantage of the increased labor supply. I have spent almost half a million in Canada, which includes tuition, living cost, and starting a business which now employs two Canadians. But because I spent one term as a part time student, I have became ineligible for PGWP, which means I have no way of staying in Canada through my own agencies. That is a slap in the face for immigrants whove come here to settle, the fact that I have positively contributed to the Canadian economy than many Canadians ever have, while withdrawing absolutely zero from public benefits, now if I buy a house here yall will drop on me a 50%+ capital gains tax and then kick me out, why would anyone want to invest in Canada? I’m seriously considering just moving to Florida because of all these. What happened to the good old days when you can come here with nothing, integrate into the community, and then become Canadians? Almost none of the forefathers of Canadians had to contribute this much into the society first to become Canadians, they stayed because their peers wanted them to stay, and the market was free to adjust to the labor supply and housing demand without government interference. What I see is not an immigration problem, it’s a big government problem, Canadians have become addicted to the government making decisions for them. The government has its grip on every aspect of Canadian life, it has hindered the responsiveness of the economy so much, that it cant even pivot to take advantage of free capital (int’l students) and third world labor rates (temp foreign workers).
I couldn't agree more. If Canada would drop woke socialism and adopt free market capitalism, the Canadian economy would boom. Canada can also end zoning regulation on construction and sell government owned property (build, baby build) to reduce the speed of gentrification and rising housing prices. Mass talented migration generally makes countries rich. It doesn't in Canada because of woke socialism.
These chicks are thinking with their heads on straight, and tackling subjects as a born white Canadian I’d be called racist over. If we have to have immigration, let it be people like you two ladies that make the grade…this is a beautifully refreshing point of view and I agree with you on every point. My love and respect from Calgary
I think the Canadian government has made it far too easy for anyone to immigrate. As an Indian living in India, I can attest that many of us look for the easiest way out and often lack a strong moral compass. Additionally, most of us struggle with adapting to new environments, possibly due to an archaic education system that emphasizes rote learning over conceptual understanding. Many Indians also face challenges with proficiency in the English language. Unfortunately, Canada’s relatively lenient immigration policies have allowed a significant number of unskilled individuals from India to settle there. Many of these individuals have been reluctant to embrace Canadian culture. Corruption may have played a role as well, with some local Canadian colleges and universities admitting students who lacked merit. Given the extreme levels of corruption in India, this is not surprising. The root issue lies in the Canadian government’s lack of strictness and vigilance when formulating immigration rules and policies. Many Indians, frustrated with the current government and financial hardships, seek to leave the country in hopes of a better life in the West. While educated individuals follow proper processes, the uneducated often resort to questionable means. In Canada’s case, this negligence on the part of both governments has had unfortunate consequences. I hope stricter policies and more accountability lead to better outcomes in the future.
English requirement test is a joke. I know some guys from India who got 8 bands and don't know a word about English. In India they pay to get IELTS band
Well done ❤ I totally agree with all things that you guys explained in this video, moreover is the way we think as a Canadians and is something that has to be addressed. Thank you for expressing what we are thinking about this mess created by this liberal government. Even though I was a liberal myself.
Now Canada GOVT immediately need two point ...If Canada want more immigrants for future ...1...Introduce Affordable Apartment (2 or 3 Bed RM - to give special High Rise FSI ..So builders or Developers can Supply )...Otherwise today or Tomorrow if Canada need more immigrants (High qualified Labour) and not sufficient Houses ..So ..same situation will face in future ...2 ..For Immigrants Doctors & Pharmacist Graduation coarse for 4 Years ..This should change and introduce for only 1 years coarse ...They have already knowledge of their field (So why waste their Time ,Money)....If Canada interested to dump & wants more Immigrants ...Than ...Government also responsibilities to provide citizens ...Housing & Medical supply ...I wonder why last 10 years this two matter (Home & Medical) supply or facilities not consider this Canada Government ..? ..& ..only dumped new immigrants ..Therefore ..Today immigrant students rent one room and share 5 members in one room , + Price going up scarcity of home ..Due to ...This Canadian Government Peculiar Policy .
LOL so immigrants should get affordable housing? Just stop yourself there! Do you know how many CANADIANS wait to get one unit? Decades! I have a friend, a border agent who says she has amazing benefit package in her job, BUT when people claim refugy status this is better than what she has. Many of us have no package - and are Canadians. We must stop the entire immigration, send all TFW home, students home when they finish their studies, and only admit those who have secured a job - and that has to be a job that they need to prove that they could not find a Canadian in a couple of years. After 10 years of this, we would know in which sectors we need immigration. For now, maybe they should losen up immigration regulations on physicians and nurses.
The new immigrants that are returning to their home country are actually the hand picked ones that we need for good jobs. The people who are staying are the low wage workers. It’s so messed up.
Hi girls! You're awesome. So as a conclusion is not a good time to immigrate to Canada right now. The house renting are overestimated. But it's my dream to settle down there in a couple of years.
Depends on your situation and mindset after all. There may never be a good time, sometimes you just have to take the leap, prepare well, work hard (and smart) and make your own luck. If you’re ready for that - Canada will welcome you any time.
There is so much misunderstanding about the immigration: people believe we take too many immigrants, while in fact we need to maintain this level of immigrants per year for several years to address the labor shortage in the coming years as baby boomers are retiring... People believe that immigrants cause property values to rise and it is Trudeau's fault. Well, Australia has high sky property values, is very similar to Canada but doesn't have Trudeau. Yet the property values are sky high. Same is for Healthcare: compare UK or France. These countries don't have Trudeau but their Healthcare has deteriorated since COVID.
As someone who immigrated to Canada 9 years ago, I want to put a significant cap on ALL the immigration programs for the next few years, until we get our shit together.
just curious to those fleeing the country, where will you go? the only option that is viable if you can do remote work where you can save quite a bit would be thailand or somewhere in south america. the US? good luck with medical bills.
Lots of highly skilled people go to the US because they can easily afford healthcare bills there. And it’s better than waiting for months or even years to get any sort of healthcare in Canada anyway.
@@nicktankard1244 false, i know because i work 4 months out of the year in florida and to state that it is EASILY affordable for even high skill workers is completely off. You are far better off paying for private here in canada rather than pay 1000s upon 1000s for medical aid in the USA.
@@arihia45Canada doesn’t have private healthcare. Well not for anything important anyway. There is no option but to wait. I waited 1.5 years to get a surgery here. 1000s upon 1000s is not that much when your salary is 2x bigger in the US. And 2x is not even the limit for highly skilled people. So when you get a pay increase of 200k per year or more those extra few thousands on healthcare is not a problem at all. People gladly pay that and get shorter waiting times as well.
@@nicktankard1244 "Canada doesn’t have private healthcare"..excuse me?? i just visited my doctor via private yesterday since i have a TMJ issue that may require surgery. There is no need to exchange any further as you are greatly misinformed.
Canada does not need immigrants, it needs real jobs paid and social programs to help families to have kids. The big elites, banks do not want a sound society based on families, they want simple slaves to work for rent and food. Till the peons/slaves do not wake up the problem will not go away, it will get worst. I am an immigrant in Canada since 2000 and I planning to move again to US if possible. Not that US is great, but is not as worse as Canada. More options there.
If you don’t believe America is great, then don’t come here! What? we should let you treat us like those students are treating Canada? Also, why are you still in Canada if you don’t believe Canada wants migrants? 😂😂😂
For all those leaving Canada, please have a proper exit plan. Don’t repeat the same mistake when not doing your proper homework by immigrating to this third world country - Canada.
honestly, learning the language will also help the foreign students .. how can they get decent grades if they do not even understand what’s being said⁇
As a recent legitimate Canadian immigrant, I agree with this message. I desire to help improve and contribute to this country, I have no relatives to send money back to in other countries. It breaks my heart to get here and see the country that helped me getting destroyed. Bad fruit spoils everything. I think more restrictions on immigration is necessary and also that small businesses should stop using the "cheap labor" excuse. Pay for the quality labor so you can contribute to improving quality of life for everyone. I hope the situation will improve soon.
Govt wants more people from developing nations, yet they don't want to build hosing, mass transit or any form of infrastructure, not even a protected bike lane. A couple of weeks ago 3 days before I am due for my first vacation in 8 years, I broke a tooth and tried to see a dentist, no appointments for 4 months. A week later, I am waiting to check into my hotel in Bangkok when I decided to break, and I went to the dentist had some X-rays taken, and 2 teeth pulled out took which less than an hour and cost $104.76. Do you see how the system can fail in many different ways?
When Canada had a population of 20 million we were way more prosperous than we are now, tenfold! It all started going downhill roughly 25 years ago. Take a wild guess what changed that caused this circling of the drain? The word is in the title of this video. 😉
I disagree! Canada won't be one of the top economies without immigration. The last 3 years have been chaos, I agree! And that definitely needs to be fixed! In the 1970s, there were 7 people working for 1 retired person, which dropped to "4:1" 20 yrs ago. Without immigration, Canada's economy would have collapsed by now. As per the govt, by 2030, there would have been 1:1 ratio working v/s retired had they not brought in immigrants.
@@OpeongoLine Yes. PPP was higher for the median salary and housing was much cheaper. In fact, middle class families supported by a single income could afford to buy houses even in major cities. It's simply not the case anymore. I'm middle class, live outside Montreal's suburbs (like 45 mins away from Montreal itself) and my region has seen the cost of housing more than double in less than 10 years. I couldn't dream of buying property here anymore and this isn't a great town. Even with a spouse and another salary, we would be hard pressed to afford the least expensive options.
@@MrLuchenkov You definitely have a point when it comes to PPP for housing. That's the main exception (albeit a critically important one) to the general increase in prosperity. Post-secondary education is also more expensive, and income inequality is worse (though there's less inequality by gender or race now). GDP, both total and per capita, has increased dramatically. Canada as a whole has far more resources (thanks in large part to technological advancements) at its disposal now than in 1966.
This was a great video! My family and I are considering relocating to Canada from the USA, as we are dual citizens, and this helps to explain what’s really going on up there. Still very interested in moving to Canada, but will need to do more research on areas that I think are best for us. Thank you for this detailed video!
Thank you. All the best in your research - our channel is a great starting point for that. Let us know if there’s any topic gaps we have that you’d like to find more info on.
Emigration from Canada to the US hits a 10-year high as tens of thousands head south. Census says that 126,340 people left Canada for the US in 2022.c a 70% increase over a decade ago.
If you don't mind me asking, why are you and your family going North to Canada? Usually, and nowadays, its overwhelmingly people fleeing Canada to go SOUTH to America (for better pay, housing, living standards, weather, etc.)
Its been a boom time for canadian landlords. Home prices have skyrocketed and rental prices the same. Just a reminder that mass immigration isnt hated and bad for everyone. I was able to retire early because of it and ive expanded my rental portfolio so can now permanently live in the usa and visit india regularly just off rent alone. And my net worth continues to rise. So, just an example that this canadian system is working for lots of us
More Canadians would have gone back to work during the pandemic if there had been fair, living wages to support us in doing so. It says something that so many people made more by staying home than they could have if they'd gone back to work. That tells me that we're not being compensated enough by our employers. But instead, people were being accused of being lazy, terrible people for not wanting to go back to work for a wage that isn't actually a living wage. There's a problem here that the people in power and the owners of businesses, large and small, that nobody wants to look at, or own up to, and they certainly don't want to address it 8n a material manner. They wonder why the Canadian birth rate is going down, but any "genius" could tell them that between crappy, unfair, inefficient wages, and the constant hysteria about the environment is to blame. It's not rocket science. We cannot afford to have children, and even those who can afford kids have been told, essentially, that the world is going to end - why would anyone want to bring a child into a world that going to end?
It’s great to see and hear two well informed Russian immigrants who clearly know what’s wrong with Canada than most of its complacent citizens and mostly all of its politicians. I watch many TH-cam videos of westerners,mostly Americans,Canadians, Australians Brits who have emigrated to Russia many with their families. They all have good things to say about their experiences and don’t regret their move. Which begs the question I must ask. Do you two ever regret leaving Russia in light of the frustrations you have seen here or encountered personally in terms of cost of living, crime,culture,government inefficiencies, not so subtle censorship to name just a few issues. It would be nice to hear your thoughts on that subject.
@@MakeThatChangeThanks for your reply. A bit short but I guess I’ll just have to be satisfied with that response. It wasn’t a trick question. It’s just that from what I see and hear in those videos Russia doesn’t look like the picture typically presented in western media. I guess a further question might be do you ever watch any of those videos for accuracy? I used to live in Whitby on Moonstone Drive in Queens Common but now live in Peterborough. I’m a retired Durham Regional police officer who has an unfortunate habit of being curious about what makes people do the things they do.Hence the reason for my original question. Anyway ,keep up the good work. Your presentations are very well researched and professionally edited. Take care👍
Thank you for your service! 🙏 The answer is somewhat simple for us. We chose a first world country( Canada) over a third world country( Russia). We don’t regret our choice the slightest. In fact - we believe that most issues Canadians are unhappy about, are the issues we are happy to have if that’s all we have to worry about. We feel privileged to have the luxury to say that “cost of living is too high” while driving a car and owning a house. We feel privileged to worry about the wait time in a clinic, while our Russian friends don’t even know whether the medication they get are real medication or just sugar. We feel privileged to have a banking and a political system we can trust, without having to worry the government can seize our accounts just because they want to. Money can buy you a good life anywhere. Without a doubt, a millionaire will live absolutely happily in Moscow. The difference is - how likely an average person is to have a good and comfortable life and a secure retirement. In Russia, my parents ( Anastasia’s) could barely afford a 1 bedroom apartment by the age of 35. In Canada I bought a house at the age of 33. That alone can tell a lot about a country’s situation. Both of us have been able to save more money by our age in Canada, than our parents have saved in their entire life in Russia. That too can tell a lot about living standards. In Russia, most retired people count Pennies and many are begging for change on the street. In Canada, retired people travel, drive a car and watch tv. That too can tell a lot about our future in both countries. Lastly, in Canada I can turn to police for help, and count on it. In Russia, I can only count on the police help if I have enough cash to bribe them. Hope this answers your questions better. Thank you for the kind words.
Congratulations for all the hard work and research you 've done to compile so many data and provide a comprehensive explanation of the current situation. I'm an immigrant looking to get my PR, I have qualifications from one of the top universities in the world, experience as an international consultant and most important I do respect the Canadian culture and follow the rules. However, even for me it is uncertain what is going to happen? and/or if the government will make more changes and kick us out hahaha. I do believe that immigration has poured a lot of money into Canadian's pockets and most of them are not considering that, some of that money is going to go to another country who is willing to manage immigration with a better approach and provide a more certain perspective to new immigrants. The government allowed many bad actors (locals and foreigners) to take advantage of the system and those who are going to pay the bill are new immigrants due to political elections, and that is just sad. We will see who are they going to blame for mismanagement of public resources and the possible crash of several industries, that are currently relaying on foreign money, once there are no new immigrants to blame. I agree with most of the new rules regarding immigration, but I strongly disagree with the political approach of how the government is blaming immigrants for their lack of proper management. I still believe Canada is a great country no matter the outcome of my personal immigration process, wish you all the best of luck!
These "outdated" zoning laws that young people seem to eager to remove are what protect older homeowners from having their property rights stripped away and their land taken by greedy developers. There isn't enough land in developed cities for everyone. If you don't have a home, move away to a city or town where you can or will soon be able to purchase a home. Don't change the laws to hurt the people who were here before you. It's rude and un-Canadian. I'm taking to you, Ravi Kahlon.
There can be a balance. It shouldn’t take 2 years and 80k just to get a permit to build a guest house or an add-on on your lawful property. In a well functional society, it takes 2 weeks and a fraction of the price, no matter whether the decision is positive or negative.
@@MakeThatChange I was thinking about how the BC Gov't recently outlawed zoning meetings and imposed regulations on every municipality and city in our province to outlaw single-family lots. This raises property taxes and encourages developers to game single-family neighbourhoods into apartment style condominiums. It's undemocratic in that it removes people's ability to exercise their agency in determining the type of neighbourhood they want to live in.
Exactly it has destroyed neighbourhoods decreased home values in those areas and lead to over crowding and insufficient infracstructure systems to accommodate. You simply cant be cramming that many people into smaller established areas and the idea was to expand to uninhabited areas in the country to develop and build and expand but of course that never happened and takes much time and foresight not just for the buildings but for the resources needed. Years ago Immigrants came with the valuable skills for such builds but that's not the case now as they seek the limited white collar jobs which only puts more strain and demands on the sector and further leads to to the cost of high unemployment in the over saturated office white collar sectors. Governments have done a very poor job of linking immigration to the job market needs and governments have failed overall in their oversight to look at quality and needs over numbers and the ability to assimilate which has only exaggerated their failing system as well as creating chaos and decrease in quality of life for all across the country. It will take much work and stricter policies and remove the system abuse and gain greater oversight to bring back immigration to the first rate success and quality and outcomes it once was that the country is known for. @ianrobbins
@@MakeThatChange Sorry, I have also immigrated to Canada, and as a single woman it took me decades to buy my own house. So now, you two immigrants are trying to find way how to screw Canadians and established immigrants? Shame on you! This is why this entire country is anti-immigrant all of the sudden.

Thank you for the kind words 😊
Most people are not intolerant of Europeans or European-looking people! This is why I don't experience a lot of hate in Canada. 🥱
There are 2 reasons behind bringing in so many international students.
1. Greed of universities and colleges so they can charge them an exorbitant amount of fees and make billions. (International Students pay 3 times the fees compared to a canadian citizen)
2. Prop up the prices of the real estate market which is already in a bubble to avoid prices from collapsing.
Don’t forget the fake schools too and these older student know it’s fake because they din’t even show up for class, faster way to citizenship and they work instead! I can’t stand scammers!!
And now these greedy universities and colleges are saying they will have to start charging more because the international students were subsidizing the cost. Absolutely disgusting.
Thank you! This is truth to be told! Canada is in the situation it is due to its own Canadians who have broken it and the international students/immigrants are paying the price!!!!!! And the low invome canadian citizens as well, of course.
1) To lower the standard of living of all Canadians
2) To lower wages so everyone remains poor forever
@@parkerbohnn Canadian standard of living was already going down much before international students started to come in. That's why they conspired to bring in so many students to use their money to boost their economy. Unfortunately it didn't work, coz that money didn't reach local Canadians, the rich cronies in Canada got that money. So you should blame your own cronies.
Being an Indian immigrant, I agree with them. Too many people were let in a shorter span of time. Most of them don’t even try to blend in and act like an entitled brat. I hope situations get better in coming years and Canada starts to prosper again. 🇨🇦

Canada is a proud mosaic of cultures, and not a bullshit US style melting pot where immigrants are expected to basically abandon thier cultural heritage to blend in so racist white A-holes feel less uncomfortable.
It’s a musing, that these two women have more insight into the problems of Canada than the entire Parliament of the country. Perhaps we should get them to run the country…
I was equally amazed, about their analysis and suggested solutions
Parliament knows exactly what is going on and what they're doing. This is all intentional. Action needs to be taken.
Everyone knows the issue. But can't stop immigration not even Conservative will stop the immigrantion
Liberals not Parliament!
The ones in charge are purposely doing this. Ever feel like you were being permanently replaced? I do 🎉
Thanks ladies. I have a person from Serbia who I hired many years ago. He is a professional and one of the best people I have ever employed. He h& his wife understood what it took to come to Canada. There was no easy path for them but they perserveered. They both have succeeded & are a great part of Canada now.
True @tubbyrob some are extremely hardworking and ready to embrace the Canadian Culture and unfortunately there are those who are here to abuse and not respect the laws in Canada.
The problem is not with immigration but not having balanced immigration because you know there's huge corruption in the system when high percentage of immigrants are cheap labour with international students and temp foreign workers program from mostly India.
It's disgusting that it's displacing Canadians and having blatant discrimination by hiring only Indians at almost every corner. These businesses and the government need to be taken to court for enabling such racist discrimination against Canadians.
I agree with you 100% I have a sense that a corruption ring was in full force since pandemic, bringing people from India in droves. The way cultural landscape has changed in GTA because of this is mind blowing. These people are getting caught in majority of crimes here and they have made a complete mockery of Canadian governance and justice system.
These latest immigration policies have been a slap in the face of immigrants such as my parents. We immigrated back in 1982. My parents, along with me any my brothers, were told that if we becomes a burden on the province ( Manitoba ) in the following 3 years, we would be deported. During last 5 years, it seems that anyone could come in, claim asylum, and drain the system.
I agree with you. I came here as a child in early 90s, Canada was the best place to be.

Why in your view has Canada had one of the worst growth rates out of the world's 60 or so countries and economic zones since 2015? I think the reason is wokeness and socialism.
Sadly, Canadians are increasingly becoming hostile to successful ethnics such as jews and asians--driven by the very dangerous woke socialist ideology.
Put a percentage cap on countries that immigration comes from. There is no way one area should have 50% immigration to Canada. Cap it at 10 or 20% per country
Why shouldn't migration be based on merit?
@ it’s a fact a lot of fake degrees and experiences been use to get through. To check all that will slow up the system. If the cap is on it no matter the merits it will always be balance for all countries. Everyone get an equal chance.
@AnAn___ because there will be a demographic imbalance. Merit should be one of the factors, not THE factor.
@@AnAn___ It's based on your net worth with liquid cash in Canadian funds.
@@parkerbohnn How has Canada been hurt by most Canadian millionaires being migrants and almost half of Canadian millionaires being ethnic asian?
Let us say that in the future, over 2/3rds of Canadian top students, elites, millionaires and billionaires become migrants and ethnics; how would Canada be hurt by this?
In trying to solve one problem (avoiding a recession), another problem was created (too many too quickly). I pray the government makes decisions not only to make those who complain happy but also what’s best for the good of Canada and Canadians. Time will tell.
Mass migration greatly benefits the economy of a capitalist non woke country.
Without mass talented migration, how will Canada be able to reduce the budget deficit and improve the economy?
Just like the old saying goes, “a rotten apple spoils the barrel.” Bad policies brought undesirable immigrants here who literally destroyed the path to permanent residency to many great immigrants who would make a difference to this country.
Except half of them are bad apples. They destroy high trust societies.

You 2 really nailed all the issues that this country is having and it’s those same issues that I really want to voice out to the public as a citizen but can’t for the fear of being accused as racist and might get killed by someone for it. Thank you so much for voicing out the same thoughts and issues that I have for this country. Both of you deserve to be citizens here.
As a current international student I can say I am happy for all this changes Canada is doing in the immigration system sadly it was taken advantage by too many indians and people from africa that came here with not the best intentions, I can confidently say if in my case is not possible to stay I will happily return to central america with good memories and good friendships and start working again. thats life

Indian people are very disrespectful on average to Canada. I would not let any more in.
17:12 Boy can I relate to this. I decided to take some courses at Humber and found myself as one of the few actual Canadians in the class. I had to become the default proofreader for every group assignment because everyone's English was so poor and they didn't do basic things like cite sources. I had to call out two of my group members for plagiarizing. At least one of my classmates had never used a computer before.
Sounds like it would have been easy for you to graduate with a 4.0 GPA then
i do hear your point on relating to the video point. But also this gives you an advantage to win, right? So go on and WIN!
@@nochso6835Its group projects though, 4th year business school with people who cant write a paragraph, let alone a business report. As a grad you get no respect from employers who see the school as a money making day care center.
@@nathanguergis
That's messed up for real.
Need to file a complaint about that professor. That's a valid concern.
I see how sometimes it's not an advantage if you are forced into a group project graded that way.
But most of the time, having to compete with job applicants who cannot speak the language - is AN ADVANTAGE FOR YOU!
Yes , it ruins the reputation of a collage with both employees and the domestic students as colleges are seen as diploma mills , sadly they decided to put profit first before quality of students, many of them lie and submit fake English test results
@@nochso6835 yes, but DEI changes that. For example, have you dealt with revenue Canada lately? Did any agents sound like English is their first language.
7:37 the number of Indian immigrants are more than the top 5 (2-6) combined. The fix to the immigration system is very easy. Put a cap on number of Indian student visas, temporary work permits, and green cards to encourage diversity and fairness for countries underrepresented in the immigration process. This will also strengthen and empower Canadian multiculturalism replacing social tension with harmony among the MANY equally represented minorities.
India is a vastly more diverse country than Canada. India has 1,000 languages and perhaps 5 million ethnic groups with different cultures. Different Indians are very culturally different from each other. Parts of India are similar to silicon valley California. Other parts are more similar to New York. Other parts are similar to China. And so forth. India also has a rapidly growing number of immigrants moving to India.
Why do you oppose meritocracy? Shouldn't migration be based on merit?
"This will also strengthen and empower Canadian multiculturalism replacing social tension with harmony among the MANY equally represented minorities." This woke idiotic mindset will destroy Canada.
What makes you think there is social tension? Isn't the issue that woke socialism is making Canada poor?
Let us assume that over 1/3 of Canadian top performing students, elites, millionaires, billionaires become ethnic Indian; how would this harm Canada? What is wrong with self-actualization, perfection, excellence, success, merit?
India is multicultural country? And more multicultural than Canada?? that is the biggest joke I have ever heard.
Clearly, you need educate yourself more to tell the difference between multi-ethnic society and multicultural society which are very different terms.
India is ONLY a multi-ethnic society because as you mentioned yourself it includes many different ethnic minorities. However, the country is predominated by the Hindu majority who fully dominate the economy and politics marginalizing other minorities. Among these minorities are 15% Muslims who have lived in India and contributed to its culture for more than 1000 years yet are described by Modi and his radical Hindu government: "Infiltrators".
The same regarding other minorities such as Punjabi who are so tired from discrimination and marginalization are now seeking to create their own country. Modi is sending assassins to persecute them inside Cananda.
It is clear that you are one of these Hindu Nationalists who built a corupt failure of country that the dream of every indian child, hindu and non-hindu, is to immigrate and leave the country.
Canada prouds itself of being the only true multicultural country in the world and it has been so more than 50 years. I would have told you to go read research papers in Sociology about Canada, but from your ignorance filled response it is obviously you don't have the mental capacity to comprehend such research.
The issue is that Canada is not Indian. Values are very different from history, traditions, and culture. We need to give more opportunities to other countries and to jobs. People from your country only hire their own. Canadians hire from other countries and cultures.
@@andres-y9q2l Your socialist woke mindset is why Canada now has 60% of the USA's per capita income. And why ethnically asian and jewish (and probably Igbo, Russian etc.) Canadians dominate the Canadian top performing students, elites, millionaires, billionaires.
India as a member of the commonwealth governed by British Common law is more similar to Canada in many ways than the USA is.
Canada's resentment and blowback against jews and asian harms the Canadian economy.
If Canada were smart Canada would try to make India (a fellow liberal free democracy with shared values and long term interests) Canada's largest trading, business, investment, joint R&D partner after the USA in lieu of China.
And also increase trade and investment with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam too.
The "Pros/Cons" part of the video lacks granularity (i.e. no one is arguing that we reduce immigration without also addressing supply-side housing solutions) - but the closing sentiments seem on point:
"if you come to the country and believe you should be handed everything on a silver platter - all without learning the language or local norms: you don't deserve to be here".
- I think this is what most Canadians are agreeing with when asked in recent polls.
Thank you for your feedback.
amen
Too many indians.
I just fled the country days ago, now at home! Some prices here as well are too high but literally a bit similar that Canada ( fast-food, transport as instance). Some friends asked me why I back? I just said the same thing you’re presenting about migration… Let’s see how it goes in the future

Start by working part time.

@@smwk2017 They can get full time jobs in America that pay far more with less tax.
I don't believe that. There's a nursing shortage.
Nursing is not the only important job, lots of Nursing talk, what about plumbers, electrical workers you the people who build the hospital and power it?
The entire Immigration System got screwed up somewhere, due to Government Ministers who had or have NO clue what the job entailed.
I came to Canada in mid 1970s from ENGLAND. I was not allowed into Canada, unless I could prove that I could READ, WRITE, and
SPEAK ENGLISH (many will attest to this) I had to prove that I was EDUCATED enough, to be able to be employed. I had to have
enough money so NOT to have to access government funds. Please think about this! Today, it is much different to get to Canada.
I guess ILLEGAL immigration is now, part of the Canadian problem.
Those people who are trying to match the official Express entry requirements are highly educated professionals with excellent English spoken and written and non the less they are struggling to get their visas while so called “refugees” who can barely speak the language are all welcomed to Canada and have a free way.
I had the same issue in 2011 with my work permit. I was born and raised in the US, had a recent college from University of Texas (and I still had to take the language test); French is even my 2nd language. I pointed out that many other immigrants cannot speak either language have permanent residence or citizenship; I was called racist. The funny part is I married Canadian born Chinese in 2012 whom sponsored me for perm res in 2017 (before my work permit would expire); when we go out, he has been questioned on his status in Canada. Irony.
International student here, and I totally agree with all of those policies.. can't believe it took them this long
Because it's election year.
there is a vast difference between racism, or antiimmigrant sentiment and just very bad bad stupid policy.

Hello Anna and Anastasia your channel is truly a hidden gem full of useful information and insight. I am an international student myself and I agree with all your points in the video, Canada used immigration to fix a deeper problem and that is its difficulty to incentivize the economy by having a heavily regulated environment, high taxes and low productivity. It will definitely alleviate some of the pressure on the system but, the real cause is still there. The first sector that is going to be affected will be the education as colleges and universities became over reliant with the revenue coming from Int. Students (which is not particularly small) and institution will need to adapt. When I first came here I fell in love with the country and I really feel fortunate to enjoy this beautiful place and doing everything to assimilate and integrate myself into the culture. I think here you can have a sense of hope of things improving in the future (something that is not the case in my home country) but if they do not fix the underlying problem it does not matter how much immigration they reduce, Canadians will not see a significant improvement. Keep the awesome work!!!
Anastasia make you high

⦁ Who is Hardeep Nijjar? Vikash Yadav? Lawrence Bishnoi? Goldy Brar? Amit Shah? Arsh Dalla? Gurjant Singh? Arshdeep Singh?
⦁ Why are Canadians having to deal with Sikh & Hindu diasporas stirring up tribal hatreds in CANADA even though it all stems from their ancestral home?
⦁ Why did Canada have to launch investigations in regards to foreign interference in Canadian elections, stemming from India?
⦁ Why is BC & Ontario taking steps to possibly outlaw The Caste System at workplaces? Due to numerous labour complaints from their fellow Indians.
⦁ Why is Canada having to deal with the repercussions of greedy Ghost Consulting in India targeting Indian students? Filling their heads with PR fantasies. Leading to the vast majority of Indian international STUDENTS in Canada insisting (no matter what?) on PR versus returning home without it when SCHOOLING ends. Contributing to (not causing) a housing crisis. CANADIANS never promised students PR. CANADIANS never told students to risk life savings or get into debt.
⦁ Why is Canada having to deal with fraudulent acceptance letters created by Indian 'consultants' and given to their own people/students?
⦁ Why have Canadians seen social media videos that Indian nationals have posted all advertising Canadian PR & visas & permits & schools & jobs etc., like they're selling shirts? Posted hourly for years & rarely in English (with very very rare input from Canadians). With colleges and universities unable to control their conduct.
⦁ Why did Canada not have numerous PRIVATE 'diploma mills' (most in/near Indian neighborhoods) until 40% of international students were from India? Schools that Canada is now shutting down.
⦁ Why is the title "IELTS spouse" known to Canadians now?
⦁ Why have Canadians seen Canadian housing being scooped up en-mass as investment vehicles by, and for, Indian nationals? Often these 'landlords' also cram 20+ students in a small home and charge each way too much for rent.
⦁ Why are Canadians primarily seeing Indians only protesting & waving their flags on Canadian streets making demands (because they don't have enough credentials to remain in Canada)? Carrying signs accusing very tolerant multicultural Canada of racism!!!
⦁ Why are Indian STUDENTS asking for Canadian asylum (which Indians rarely qualify for)? Canada is considering fast-tracking asylum refusals (to prevent asylum system abuse).
⦁ Why are Indians using Canada to illegally cross into the USA? Who is Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel?
⦁ Why are most tech support scams, phishing, and identity theft scams in North America originating from India? Plus major auto theft rings have recently formed shipping stolen car parts to lower Asia and northern Africa. When arrested, many are from where? Research and see. Speed racing causing injuries and death. Research and see.
⦁ Why were Canadian food banks & other charity services recklessly advertised on social media in Indian languages?
⦁ Why is a country with over a billion people now badmouthing Canada and hurting it's great reputation? Canada, one of the top 10 most peaceful and kindhearted and law abiding and multicultural and INVITING countries on Earth! How do you think this makes Canadians feel?
And why for the first time in over 50+ years, are most Canadians becoming distrustful of immigration?????
With stuff like this, Canadians are getting more and more upset. It’s not hate. It’s not racism. It’s a normal reaction to an influx of any culture if it doesn’t assimilate and blend to a country’s way of living, including rules and conduct norms.
Support the country you live in … or live in the country you support.
Canadians want multi-culturism to succeed and for all people (including immigrants) to be okay. Now Canadians are VERY happy with IRCC's recent changes (reductions & multifaceted investigations & deportations etc.). Including long-term Asian Canadians MOST upset (by all of this).
Hold Ya FARD 🤯
I really enjoyed watching your presentation. As an immigrant myself, I can relate to the challenges many newcomers face. While I sympathize with their situation, I also strongly believe that those coming into the country should be thoroughly vetted. One important point you may have overlooked is the growing lack of confidence in the government's ability to perform effectively. This erosion of trust is leading to a decline in domestic investment, with many of our own citizens seeking opportunities abroad. Additionally, external investment is dropping significantly.
I moved here in April of this year from the UK so language wasn't an issue. Got my PR the hard, patient way. I can't understand how a language requirement is only now being applied.
If I was moving to somewhere where my language was barely spoken, or only spoken in a small corner of my new town/city, I'd do my best to learn at least a conversational level of the new country's language, even more if my potential work field required specific terminology and language...
It wouldn't occur to me to move to somewhere and not be able to communicate.
I also don't understand how Canada let in people who can't speak a word of French or English, or barely understandable. And I think that to get PR, there should be interviews. That way it would be easier to find the liars.

Isn't the real problem that migrants are more academically and economically successful than other Canadians, leading to blowback and resentment?
People are delusional if you think immigrants will flow to the less populated areas… I live in Vancouver… Do you really think the Asians here will put up with living anywhere else? I lived many years in Asia and the people there want to live among their own kind… Chinese with Chinese as here in Richmond… Punjab with Punjabi as in Surrey… that will never change… Especially in a multicultural society like Canada, where assimilation is actively discouraged.
More reason to become America!
We don’t face these problems.
You created your own problems.
@ f off… I didn’t create them!
That's what Canada is, ppl don't want to assimilate, the don't need to
I find the mixing like it will automatically happen is problematic. A lot of white people won't say it but they want to live by people who look like them. Most, however are fine if their neighbours are other backgrounds as long as they share the same culture/religion/values. Most whites/blacks/other asians don't want to integrate with Indians. My street has gone from 9 white families to now 3. All houses sold are now Indian rooming houses since the homes in my area are close by the college and very big (the house beside me just sold and I was hoping for a family but got more indian students again). It's odd when I talk to my non white friends and at first they were afraid to say but now they want to move to a different part in the city or further up north as they can't stand the invasion. If Korean/Chinese can't be around much of their own kind, from talking to them they prefer being around whites. I feel like there's going to be a time very soon where european valued citizens have no where to live. Friends and family keep going up north but even the most deserted super small northern town will have indian staff working there, not sure where they come from or how they get there but in places that were almost 100% white 5 years ago, now you can't find a white working any cash register job.
This was a really great analysis of Canada’s current immigration issues 👍👍. It blows my mind how politicians can make such obvious mistakes. Hopefully (🙏) this country can regain some balance socially and economically.
It’s not mistakes this was planned they want us poor

The fact that you could get the same amount of money on CERB as working a full time job that pays above minimum wage. I made $2 above minimum and I got about $100 above CERB over the month....... All this is why so many said no to working their backsides off to live paycheque to paycheque. Myself, I need to have a routine. So I went back to work ASAP after my job being eliminated at the start of the pandemic. Now everywhere I look I do not recognize Canada. I feel like i'm in a different country. The old way of life has been wiped out in a few years..... Learn Punjabi while you can, won't have a choice by the end of the decade.
I love Canada , came here with hope to get a better life , I came here a year and half ago studying biotechnology sadly I don't think Canada is suitable for life anymore , I have never got a job no matter how hard I try !

I have over 7 years of logistics and warehouse experience in addition to bachelor in medical laboratory technology with near 3 years experience in lab which is " supposed to be in very high demand" , so I think I will pull the plug and go back home after this semester , if I can't get a job as a dishwasher how can I get jobs in biotechnology field ! going back home empty handed even tho I haven't and will not complete my studies is a bumber but I believe it will be a better choice for me , I appreciate my time here and wish it gets better for the people who live here.

Your videos are so informative 😊
Glad you like them!
@ Yes, Thank you
20:05 where I live, it's not so much the independent small businesses that employ temporary workers, but the big chains and franchises like McDonalds, Home Depot, Tim Hortons, Walmart.
Thank you, great video. Excellent overview of the issues, which you understand better than most Canadians because you've lived thru the transition.
We need your pragmatic reasoning to be heard by politicians.
I'm not anti-immigration but rather support targeted immigration. We have to make immigration work for Canada and immigrants alike. We have to increase our GDP thru targeted investments in our society.

I am a Canadian citizen, have undergone four surgeries, live with one kidney, and graduated from college in Accounting and Finance in Canada. I pity myself that for over three years now, I have been doing general labor in a warehouse. Despite many vacancies, I keep getting rejected! In the warehouse where I currently work, three of the four Accountants are on work permits, and they have no education in Canada!
Wow...😢
We trades people have been dealing with it for decades.
Very good overview.
thank you very much for this honest and unbiased video. Indeed. some people have took advantage of the welcoming generosity of the Canadians. The figures in 7:37 do not lie and show you which country exploited this generosity way more than anyone else.
As someone who had to take the English assessment to attain the PGWP, I complained so much because I didn't come to Canada not knowing English, and I certainly did not graduate without the ability to read, write, listen and even present business cases in English. It pissed me off at the time cause he costs hundreds of dollars for something I was assessed on before even coming to the country. Did they really think my English got poorer after 3 years in the country?
But I totally get your point why its needed now with the way things are. However, in the long run, I think reforms should be made at the student visa level. Canadian and other international students who worked hard to get into uni don't need a deadweight that cant speak the official language of the university and contribute meaningfully. Forget contributing to Canadian society, would the student himself learn anything?
Great points. Agreed.
As someone originally from Europe where renting is the norm rather than the exception, I think part of the problem is Canada's transition from a rural/suburban society to a heavily urbanized society. Real estate in cities is exponentially more expensive than on the "outer banks", so transitioning into an urbanized culture with the homeowner mindset of rural Canada is bound to crash. Add to that the pretty much uninhibited and unhinged foreign investment into empty luxury condos, et voila, you have your mess. Vancouver is basically a resort city for the internationally wealthy, it is not a livable location.
As for immigration... I am an immigrant myself from Western Europe. I think what is tricky - same as in Europe - is when clusters of immigrants from other cultures concentrate in specific areas which leads to the emergence of subcultures rather than integration and lived diversity. Ironically, even for people FROM India, Pakistan, China, Indonesia, etc., this has lead to a situation that THEY THEMSELVES don't approve of, which is that they don't feel like living in Canada, but in a satellite region of their country of origin - most people who come to Canada want to live in and experience CANADA.
You cannot blame people for wanting to improve their own and their families' lives by legally moving to economically stronger countries, it's a tale as old as time, it is the foundation of Canada and many other nation states. Who is responsible are the national government who have not balanced immigration and foreign investment to benefit the CANADIAN PEOPLE but to benefit corporations, short-term high gains, and to line their own pockets.
As an immigrant my self that live in this beautiful country for over 18yrs ..I love your video thats that's reviewing this out of control immigration system 😤😤😤 so many radical new immigrants ...they protest and fight each other everyday about things that is happening in their home country...😏
What everyone needs in Canada right now are as follows : 1) affordable housing; 2) decent employment; 3) reliable and dependable healthcare.
I agree that immigration process needs to be made harder and stricter. Choose quality over quantity.
Focus on getting new immigrants only in specified fields such as a) healthcare (doctors, nurses, healthcare workers); b) trades (construction/plumbing/carpentry/electricians/farmers); c) tech (IT/AI/Robotics...) and no need to bring students to do useless courses in management/finance and other fields.
Develop other provinces besides Ontario/Quebec/BC/Alberta; build new townships and create jobs in these new towns; build more airports, highways, break monopoly of state owned air carriers and increase competition; ban all labor unions; decrease bureaucracy and regulations and keep it at a bare minimum; increase and improve work efficiencies
Townships are you South African
I wonder why no one thinks it happened during JT2.0, am I the only one who think it’s because Jagmeet Sigh belongs to same region of India, the immigration from that region exploded?
And NDP pulls their support when the Liberals changed the immigration policy (no one seems to see the that or want to talk about it).
Your perspective on government and leadership is truly inspiring, and I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. If only our government officials possessed half of the wisdom and insight that you both do. You have a new subscriber.
I lived overseas for a few years. When I returned to my hometown, I thought I was in India. And all the jobs gone or paying worse than before.

I am from Canada. I have a number of Lonely Planet books, including 2 which deal with Canada. One is from 1994 and the other from 2005.
In the older one, in the "Facts about the country" section, they mention the issue of "... too much immigration and the thorny allegations of racism which surround it.".
This was 30 YEARS AGO!
Hard to believe.
I always believe Canada's immigration intake was always too much even at 30 million people in the early mid 2000s, we always struggled abit to find work or well paying work that's secure, yet the government always brought in 250k consistently, the government only understands panicking instead of critical thinking, now under Trudope it's 4 times higher including fake students and visa overstaying.
the cycle always repeats (in a slightly different way) with new actors, and new "supposed" enemy.

Without his family name, Trudeau Jr would just be bumping around from job to job. He has not inherited a smidgen of his father’s intellect or stature. Well, when we have. P.M. who proudly announced that ‘the Budget will balance itself’, and that ‘Budget deficit is just a number ie. not something to be concerned about’, do we really expect anything good to come from his fiscal or social policies! The people who voted him in 3 times deserves what they are getting. Unfortunately, we are the collateral damage of their stupid trust in this clown!
Economy works in debit. The more debit means more money in the economy. All world economies works on debt... Yes debt for a person is an issue but for government it is no issue at all

The problem isn't so much how many immigrants we allow, it's the fact that they all go to Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. We need a policy of "If you want in, WE decide where you will live for the next 20 years." because they're not going where people are needed, they're congregating in specific places and forming enclaves where there's no places to live or infrastructure to support them.
Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.
It used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.
I thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).
This brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.
I have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.
Thank you for making these videos.
Thank you for sharing your valuable insight. We hope you will find a way to call Canada home if that’s still on the table for you.
Canada does not have any problem with immigration, Canada has a problem with immigration from different races(non-white). I completely agree with this. It is a country of European (Only French and British).

Trump 😎 Tariffs from 🇺🇸
Omg the property market prices are shocking. I just checked them a few days ago. I can't believe, but looks it is true.
Our roads and buildings are constantly under construction, and it’s never enough. I suspect crooked construction companies of cutting a lot of corners so that nothing lasts as long as it used to. Construction needs more oversight and stricter requirements. It should be more like running a restaurant, where you can get inspected and lose your license at any time.
I don't know that "had enough" is good way of putting it. The Canadian government was not prepared and had not done proper due diligence in determining a good number. Additionally, it's apparent that the "bad actor" comment by Trudeau eluded to people within the immigration department who were not following policy. Obviously, oversight was lacking.
Coming here has been rough, to say the least. On one hand, you see employers exploiting immigrants for cheap labor, and on the other, the government appears to allow immigration without adequate oversight. Now, I’m witnessing people with PhDs being denied the opportunity for permanent residency because someone, three years ago, abused the system by enrolling in an English graduate program and obtaining PR without even completing it. Immigrants are often victims of poor policy. Not everyone had access to quality education before arriving here, and it feels disheartening. Most people come with postgraduate degrees, yet their English is criticized- by people who barely speak one language, that’s harsh, being denied job opportunities while being super overqualified because of a lack of "Canadian labor experience" its just an excuse, my wife worked with multiple international projects, managed multiple offices back in our home country, and she has way more experience than like 50% of the people around her, yet, it took her almost 2 years to get an entry job as an Admin, while having more experience an actual University degree and being more professional integrity than her supervisors and peers. Inmigration it's supposed to be hard, but this is abuse and exploitation, but hey, let's blame everything bad happening in Canada to immigrants, best scapegoat ever.
"Canadian labor experience" From my personal experience. It's just means you need to learn to not work too efficiently so you don't accidentally make your canadian co-workers to look bad. Canadian firms are incredibly in-effective literally everybody tries to milk the job for as long as possible. and you get into trouble for working too fast.

The thing is, those with expiring international student permits would just apply for Asylum
Canadian consumers are ending this. It’s out of control and can’t continue. Canadians are boycotting businesses that use migrant and foreign workers instead of hiring Canadian citizens. It won’t end until the companies that use them get their sales gutted.
I think asylum policies will not exist by the end of the century with the deception of migrants throughout the western world.
Don't allow them apply the don't qualify.
The true problem is the greed of colleges - bringing the wrong kind of international students. Remember - the same India supplies the brightest brains to the USA. Like myself - thousands of high skill STEM field Indians are finding Canada to be the North American ghetto. We had high paying jobs and comfortable life in India - we moved for better value of our taxes and overall high quality of life but we are finding ourselves surrounded by same chaos and much worse healthcare. Many like me pay 100s of thousands in taxes every year in Canada and yet find ourselves on flights to India to seek quick healthcare. Pls bring in healthcare workers and students - not the high schoolers seeking to live on Tim Horton and uber jobs for life.
Great video! Less immigrants will not create more houses. Build more houses, Canada!
Sending millions back will help a lot too many east Indians here this is Canada not east India Canada was a European ancestry country 97 percent up until 1970.
You have really prepared well. Good job
Girls, I came here as an international student, I make about 150K year, I pay aournd 45% of my salary in taxes and 2500 in rent, that is unfair. My job comes from the U.S. and now I have to face impossible PR process. Canada needs reforms for sure, but think twice, this is not the only country a highly skilled immigrant can go, the world is big, stop blaming international students for everything, we came here following the rules, and we did not write those rules. To be honest, I am seriously thinking about moving somewhere else including home. I have a nice house, pool and warm weather back home.
Agree fully. Canada suffers from massive brain drain and millionaire drain. Canada has a very low long term retention rate for migrants.
What policies would you recommend Canada follow to improve the Canadian economy?

@@AnAn___ there’s someone whining in the comments
I’m an international student, from my perspective it seems like the government can’t keep themselves from messing with the economy, basically crippling it by regulations, making the market unable to take advantage of the increased labor supply.
I have spent almost half a million in Canada, which includes tuition, living cost, and starting a business which now employs two Canadians. But because I spent one term as a part time student, I have became ineligible for PGWP, which means I have no way of staying in Canada through my own agencies.
That is a slap in the face for immigrants whove come here to settle, the fact that I have positively contributed to the Canadian economy than many Canadians ever have, while withdrawing absolutely zero from public benefits, now if I buy a house here yall will drop on me a 50%+ capital gains tax and then kick me out, why would anyone want to invest in Canada? I’m seriously considering just moving to Florida because of all these.
What happened to the good old days when you can come here with nothing, integrate into the community, and then become Canadians? Almost none of the forefathers of Canadians had to contribute this much into the society first to become Canadians, they stayed because their peers wanted them to stay, and the market was free to adjust to the labor supply and housing demand without government interference.
What I see is not an immigration problem, it’s a big government problem, Canadians have become addicted to the government making decisions for them. The government has its grip on every aspect of Canadian life, it has hindered the responsiveness of the economy so much, that it cant even pivot to take advantage of free capital (int’l students) and third world labor rates (temp foreign workers).
I couldn't agree more. If Canada would drop woke socialism and adopt free market capitalism, the Canadian economy would boom.
Canada can also end zoning regulation on construction and sell government owned property (build, baby build) to reduce the speed of gentrification and rising housing prices.
Mass talented migration generally makes countries rich. It doesn't in Canada because of woke socialism.
These chicks are thinking with their heads on straight, and tackling subjects as a born white Canadian I’d be called racist over.
If we have to have immigration, let it be people like you two ladies that make the grade…this is a beautifully refreshing point of view and I agree with you on every point.
My love and respect from Calgary
Sad but true.
Imagine being called racist for a real life problem, it's not like certain people are shitting on other cultures.
@@WILLAIM20 as an immigrant I agree
I think the Canadian government has made it far too easy for anyone to immigrate. As an Indian living in India, I can attest that many of us look for the easiest way out and often lack a strong moral compass. Additionally, most of us struggle with adapting to new environments, possibly due to an archaic education system that emphasizes rote learning over conceptual understanding. Many Indians also face challenges with proficiency in the English language.
Unfortunately, Canada’s relatively lenient immigration policies have allowed a significant number of unskilled individuals from India to settle there. Many of these individuals have been reluctant to embrace Canadian culture. Corruption may have played a role as well, with some local Canadian colleges and universities admitting students who lacked merit. Given the extreme levels of corruption in India, this is not surprising.
The root issue lies in the Canadian government’s lack of strictness and vigilance when formulating immigration rules and policies. Many Indians, frustrated with the current government and financial hardships, seek to leave the country in hopes of a better life in the West. While educated individuals follow proper processes, the uneducated often resort to questionable means. In Canada’s case, this negligence on the part of both governments has had unfortunate consequences.
I hope stricter policies and more accountability lead to better outcomes in the future.
English requirement test is a joke. I know some guys from India who got 8 bands and don't know a word about English. In India they pay to get IELTS band
a 20 % REDUCTION sounds great but you have to see the 100+ % increase for each of 3 years before that

Well done ❤ I totally agree with all things that you guys explained in this video, moreover is the way we think as a Canadians and is something that has to be addressed.

Now Canada GOVT immediately need two point ...If Canada want more immigrants for future ...1...Introduce Affordable Apartment (2 or 3 Bed RM - to give special High Rise FSI ..So builders or Developers can Supply )...Otherwise today or Tomorrow if Canada need more immigrants (High qualified Labour) and not sufficient Houses ..So ..same situation will face in future ...2 ..For Immigrants Doctors & Pharmacist Graduation coarse for 4 Years ..This should change and introduce for only 1 years coarse ...They have already knowledge of their field (So why waste their Time ,Money)....If Canada interested to dump & wants more Immigrants ...Than ...Government also responsibilities to provide citizens ...Housing & Medical supply ...I wonder why last 10 years this two matter (Home & Medical) supply or facilities not consider this Canada Government ..? ..& ..only dumped new immigrants ..Therefore ..Today immigrant students rent one room and share 5 members in one room , + Price going up scarcity of home ..Due to ...This Canadian Government Peculiar Policy .
I think the Government of Canada should invest more in it's own people to get qualified. We don't need all them foreign workers
it is JUSTIN T who destroyed immigration system . NDP Liberals worse govt and bad actor( college and immigration agent ) made money
LOL so immigrants should get affordable housing? Just stop yourself there! Do you know how many CANADIANS wait to get one unit? Decades!
I have a friend, a border agent who says she has amazing benefit package in her job, BUT when people claim refugy status this is better than what she has. Many of us have no package - and are Canadians.
We must stop the entire immigration, send all TFW home, students home when they finish their studies, and only admit those who have secured a job - and that has to be a job that they need to prove that they could not find a Canadian in a couple of years. After 10 years of this, we would know in which sectors we need immigration.
For now, maybe they should losen up immigration regulations on physicians and nurses.
The new immigrants that are returning to their home country are actually the hand picked ones that we need for good jobs. The people who are staying are the low wage workers. It’s so messed up.
Hi girls! You're awesome. So as a conclusion is not a good time to immigrate to Canada right now. The house renting are overestimated. But it's my dream to settle down there in a couple of years.
Depends on your situation and mindset after all. There may never be a good time, sometimes you just have to take the leap, prepare well, work hard (and smart) and make your own luck. If you’re ready for that - Canada will welcome you any time.

There is so much misunderstanding about the immigration: people believe we take too many immigrants, while in fact we need to maintain this level of immigrants per year for several years to address the labor shortage in the coming years as baby boomers are retiring...
People believe that immigrants cause property values to rise and it is Trudeau's fault. Well, Australia has high sky property values, is very similar to Canada but doesn't have Trudeau. Yet the property values are sky high.
Same is for Healthcare: compare UK or France. These countries don't have Trudeau but their Healthcare has deteriorated since COVID.

As someone who immigrated to Canada 9 years ago, I want to put a significant cap on ALL the immigration programs for the next few years, until we get our shit together.
just curious to those fleeing the country, where will you go? the only option that is viable if you can do remote work where you can save quite a bit would be thailand or somewhere in south america. the US? good luck with medical bills.
We explored this question of "where people from Canada move" in this video th-cam.com/video/8IHPvw_jl-c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ULHzNsYizG4W5NQX
Lots of highly skilled people go to the US because they can easily afford healthcare bills there. And it’s better than waiting for months or even years to get any sort of healthcare in Canada anyway.
@@nicktankard1244 false, i know because i work 4 months out of the year in florida and to state that it is EASILY affordable for even high skill workers is completely off. You are far better off paying for private here in canada rather than pay 1000s upon 1000s for medical aid in the USA.
@@arihia45Canada doesn’t have private healthcare. Well not for anything important anyway. There is no option but to wait. I waited 1.5 years to get a surgery here. 1000s upon 1000s is not that much when your salary is 2x bigger in the US. And 2x is not even the limit for highly skilled people. So when you get a pay increase of 200k per year or more those extra few thousands on healthcare is not a problem at all. People gladly pay that and get shorter waiting times as well.
@@nicktankard1244 "Canada doesn’t have private healthcare"..excuse me?? i just visited my doctor via private yesterday since i have a TMJ issue that may require surgery. There is no need to exchange any further as you are greatly misinformed.
Canada does not need immigrants, it needs real jobs paid and social programs to help families to have kids.
The big elites, banks do not want a sound society based on families, they want simple slaves to work for rent and food.
Till the peons/slaves do not wake up the problem will not go away, it will get worst.
I am an immigrant in Canada since 2000 and I planning to move again to US if possible.
Not that US is great, but is not as worse as Canada. More options there.
If you don’t believe America is great, then don’t come here!

For all those leaving Canada, please have a proper exit plan. Don’t repeat the same mistake when not doing your proper homework by immigrating to this third world country - Canada.

As a recent legitimate Canadian immigrant, I agree with this message. I desire to help improve and contribute to this country, I have no relatives to send money back to in other countries. It breaks my heart to get here and see the country that helped me getting destroyed. Bad fruit spoils everything. I think more restrictions on immigration is necessary and also that small businesses should stop using the "cheap labor" excuse. Pay for the quality labor so you can contribute to improving quality of life for everyone. I hope the situation will improve soon.
Govt wants more people from developing nations, yet they don't want to build hosing, mass transit or any form of infrastructure, not even a protected bike lane. A couple of weeks ago 3 days before I am due for my first vacation in 8 years, I broke a tooth and tried to see a dentist, no appointments for 4 months. A week later, I am waiting to check into my hotel in Bangkok when I decided to break, and I went to the dentist had some X-rays taken, and 2 teeth pulled out took which less than an hour and cost $104.76. Do you see how the system can fail in many different ways?
Having a good credit score helps as the dentists check that before taking on new patients.
When Canada had a population of 20 million we were way more prosperous than we are now, tenfold! It all started going downhill roughly 25 years ago. Take a wild guess what changed that caused this circling of the drain? The word is in the title of this video. 😉
Parce que les babyboomers quittent le marché du travail! :)
I disagree! Canada won't be one of the top economies without immigration. The last 3 years have been chaos, I agree! And that definitely needs to be fixed!
In the 1970s, there were 7 people working for 1 retired person, which dropped to "4:1" 20 yrs ago. Without immigration, Canada's economy would have collapsed by now. As per the govt, by 2030, there would have been 1:1 ratio working v/s retired had they not brought in immigrants.
That's flat-out untrue. Do you really believe that Canada was a more prosperous country in 1966 (when the population was 20 million)?
@@OpeongoLine Yes. PPP was higher for the median salary and housing was much cheaper. In fact, middle class families supported by a single income could afford to buy houses even in major cities.
It's simply not the case anymore. I'm middle class, live outside Montreal's suburbs (like 45 mins away from Montreal itself) and my region has seen the cost of housing more than double in less than 10 years. I couldn't dream of buying property here anymore and this isn't a great town. Even with a spouse and another salary, we would be hard pressed to afford the least expensive options.
@@MrLuchenkov You definitely have a point when it comes to PPP for housing. That's the main exception (albeit a critically important one) to the general increase in prosperity. Post-secondary education is also more expensive, and income inequality is worse (though there's less inequality by gender or race now). GDP, both total and per capita, has increased dramatically. Canada as a whole has far more resources (thanks in large part to technological advancements) at its disposal now than in 1966.
This was a great video! My family and I are considering relocating to Canada from the USA, as we are dual citizens, and this helps to explain what’s really going on up there. Still very interested in moving to Canada, but will need to do more research on areas that I think are best for us. Thank you for this detailed video!

Emigration from Canada to the US hits a 10-year high as tens of thousands head south. Census says that 126,340 people left Canada for the US in 2022.c a 70% increase over a decade ago.

Its been a boom time for canadian landlords. Home prices have skyrocketed and rental prices the same. Just a reminder that mass immigration isnt hated and bad for everyone. I was able to retire early because of it and ive expanded my rental portfolio so can now permanently live in the usa and visit india regularly just off rent alone. And my net worth continues to rise. So, just an example that this canadian system is working for lots of us
More Canadians would have gone back to work during the pandemic if there had been fair, living wages to support us in doing so. It says something that so many people made more by staying home than they could have if they'd gone back to work. That tells me that we're not being compensated enough by our employers. But instead, people were being accused of being lazy, terrible people for not wanting to go back to work for a wage that isn't actually a living wage. There's a problem here that the people in power and the owners of businesses, large and small, that nobody wants to look at, or own up to, and they certainly don't want to address it 8n a material manner.
They wonder why the Canadian birth rate is going down, but any "genius" could tell them that between crappy, unfair, inefficient wages, and the constant hysteria about the environment is to blame. It's not rocket science. We cannot afford to have children, and even those who can afford kids have been told, essentially, that the world is going to end - why would anyone want to bring a child into a world that going to end?

It’s great to see and hear two well informed Russian immigrants who clearly know what’s wrong with Canada than most of its complacent citizens and mostly all of its politicians. I watch many TH-cam videos of westerners,mostly Americans,Canadians, Australians Brits who have emigrated to Russia many with their families. They all have good things to say about their experiences and don’t regret their move.
Which begs the question I must ask. Do you two ever regret leaving Russia in light of the frustrations you have seen here or encountered personally in terms of cost of living, crime,culture,government inefficiencies, not so subtle censorship to name just a few issues.
It would be nice to hear your thoughts on that subject.
Both of us have no regrets leaving Russia
@@MakeThatChangeThanks for your reply. A bit short but I guess I’ll just have to be satisfied with that response. It wasn’t a trick question. It’s just that from what I see and hear in those videos Russia doesn’t look like the picture typically presented in western media. I guess a further question might be do you ever watch any of those videos for accuracy? I used to live in Whitby on Moonstone Drive in Queens Common but now live in Peterborough. I’m a retired Durham Regional police officer who has an unfortunate habit of being curious about what makes people do the things they do.Hence the reason for my original question.
Anyway ,keep up the good work. Your presentations are very well researched and professionally edited.
Take care👍
Thank you for your service! 🙏
The answer is somewhat simple for us. We chose a first world country( Canada) over a third world country( Russia). We don’t regret our choice the slightest. In fact - we believe that most issues Canadians are unhappy about, are the issues we are happy to have if that’s all we have to worry about. We feel privileged to have the luxury to say that “cost of living is too high” while driving a car and owning a house. We feel privileged to worry about the wait time in a clinic, while our Russian friends don’t even know whether the medication they get are real medication or just sugar. We feel privileged to have a banking and a political system we can trust, without having to worry the government can seize our accounts just because they want to.
Money can buy you a good life anywhere. Without a doubt, a millionaire will live absolutely happily in Moscow. The difference is - how likely an average person is to have a good and comfortable life and a secure retirement. In Russia, my parents ( Anastasia’s) could barely afford a 1 bedroom apartment by the age of 35. In Canada I bought a house at the age of 33. That alone can tell a lot about a country’s situation. Both of us have been able to save more money by our age in Canada, than our parents have saved in their entire life in Russia. That too can tell a lot about living standards.
In Russia, most retired people count Pennies and many are begging for change on the street. In Canada, retired people travel, drive a car and watch tv. That too can tell a lot about our future in both countries.
Lastly, in Canada I can turn to police for help, and count on it. In Russia, I can only count on the police help if I have enough cash to bribe them.
Hope this answers your questions better. Thank you for the kind words.
Congratulations for all the hard work and research you 've done to compile so many data and provide a comprehensive explanation of the current situation. I'm an immigrant looking to get my PR, I have qualifications from one of the top universities in the world, experience as an international consultant and most important I do respect the Canadian culture and follow the rules. However, even for me it is uncertain what is going to happen? and/or if the government will make more changes and kick us out hahaha. I do believe that immigration has poured a lot of money into Canadian's pockets and most of them are not considering that, some of that money is going to go to another country who is willing to manage immigration with a better approach and provide a more certain perspective to new immigrants. The government allowed many bad actors (locals and foreigners) to take advantage of the system and those who are going to pay the bill are new immigrants due to political elections, and that is just sad. We will see who are they going to blame for mismanagement of public resources and the possible crash of several industries, that are currently relaying on foreign money, once there are no new immigrants to blame. I agree with most of the new rules regarding immigration, but I strongly disagree with the political approach of how the government is blaming immigrants for their lack of proper management. I still believe Canada is a great country no matter the outcome of my personal immigration process, wish you all the best of luck!
These "outdated" zoning laws that young people seem to eager to remove are what protect older homeowners from having their property rights stripped away and their land taken by greedy developers. There isn't enough land in developed cities for everyone. If you don't have a home, move away to a city or town where you can or will soon be able to purchase a home. Don't change the laws to hurt the people who were here before you. It's rude and un-Canadian. I'm taking to you, Ravi Kahlon.
There can be a balance. It shouldn’t take 2 years and 80k just to get a permit to build a guest house or an add-on on your lawful property. In a well functional society, it takes 2 weeks and a fraction of the price, no matter whether the decision is positive or negative.
@@MakeThatChange I was thinking about how the BC Gov't recently outlawed zoning meetings and imposed regulations on every municipality and city in our province to outlaw single-family lots. This raises property taxes and encourages developers to game single-family neighbourhoods into apartment style condominiums. It's undemocratic in that it removes people's ability to exercise their agency in determining the type of neighbourhood they want to live in.
it is JUSTIN T who destroyed immigration system . NDP Liberals worse govt and bad actor( college and immigration agent ) made money
Exactly it has destroyed neighbourhoods decreased home values in those areas and lead to over crowding and insufficient infracstructure systems to accommodate. You simply cant be cramming that many people into smaller established areas and the idea was to expand to uninhabited areas in the country to develop and build and expand but of course that never happened and takes much time and foresight not just for the buildings but for the resources needed. Years ago Immigrants came with the valuable skills for such builds but that's not the case now as they seek the limited white collar jobs which only puts more strain and demands on the sector and further leads to to the cost of high unemployment in the over saturated office white collar sectors. Governments have done a very poor job of linking immigration to the job market needs and governments have failed overall in their oversight to look at quality and needs over numbers and the ability to assimilate which has only exaggerated their failing system as well as creating chaos and decrease in quality of life for all across the country. It will take much work and stricter policies and remove the system abuse and gain greater oversight to bring back immigration to the first rate success and quality and outcomes it once was that the country is known for. @ianrobbins
@@MakeThatChange Sorry, I have also immigrated to Canada, and as a single woman it took me decades to buy my own house. So now, you two immigrants are trying to find way how to screw Canadians and established immigrants? Shame on you! This is why this entire country is anti-immigrant all of the sudden.
