You'd be a fool as a new immigrant to come to Canada

Imagine coming to Toronto with like 15k?

First and last taking up like 5k already.

No job before you know all that money is gone

TBH, I've never seen Canada's immigration policy and real estate being exposed to the level it is today. I think everybody woke up to how trash the Canadian system is, and I don't think many have the same love for Toronto like they used to. I can't recall the last time we've heard this many down about the country and Toronto.

The funny thing is, I know most countries would put a freeze or restrict immigration if it's gotten to a level where they can't handle it. I still don't understand why we don't at least due a merit-based system like getting skilled workers in sectors where we have a low supply.

Yeah, that's the major issue because there are no incentives for them to make changes due to being in corporation pockets behind closed doors and landlords are more likely to vote. Plus, we all know they won't put heavy taxes if a person owns multiple homes since many politicians will mess up their own money

On the last part, is so true, and there was a story the other day in I think it was in Brampton where they had 40 people in the basement
