We're not having babies because we can't afford to. Breh look at folks in their twenties early thirties. Prob half or m ore of their take home pay going to rent, owning a house? :heh:, having a baby a 2bdrm apartment is over 3k . Daycare will put you in potters jail.

The guy just repeats all the illogical liberal talking points, he is extremely clueless.

Immigration to Canada 2023:
IRCC unveils the top 10 source countries of new immigrants to Canada in 2022 | CIC News

  1. India (118, 095 immigrants) – 27%
  2. China (31,815 immigrants) - 7.2%
  3. Afghanistan (23,735 immigrants) – 5.4%
  4. Nigeria (22,085 immigrants) – 5.05%
  5. Philippines (22,070 immigrants) – 5.04%
  6. France (14,145 immigrants) – 3.2%
  7. Pakistan (11,585 immigrants) – 2.6%
  8. Iran (11,105 immigrants) – 2.5%
  9. United States of America (10,400 immigrants) – 2.3%
  10. Syria (8,500 immigrants) – 1.9%
Excluding foreign students, TFWs etc. who aren’t immigrants
That’s a major exclusion to be fair.

TFWs and international students are a major driver behind rapid population growth and majority are from India:



The issue is TFW and student visas have become a de-facto fast track to PR and government has very little visibility on volume they’re admitting in both streams. Almost an unofficial guest worker program at this point, that allows businesses to keep service sector and other lower skilled labour wages low.

its because of that come to canada to a diploma mill, work do uber, and then get a post grad work permit and then apply for your pr. Then sponsor your old mom and dad to come over and your wife and kids. Strain on the tax system perfect scam.

The thing is canada should only be plucking the brightest folks for immigration. Look at all the nigerians and other africans that you see over here that didn't come in through scam measures. They are young, educated, speak english and can adapt to society.
Hard to dispute any of this. There is also massive profit across the whole chain, with immigration consultants, university/college recruiters, and other middle men all making a killing from start to finish. Even the established public universities/colleges are deeply reliant on international student tuition for operating revenue now, so keep lobbying to keep the door open.

Yup Canada has the same amount of international students as America to put that into context.

The difference is when you go to schools in uk and America staying after and getting residence isn’t as easy as it is in Canada

Policy change that allowed students to get PR just by working certain number of hours was disastrous. Opened up door for diploma mills, essentially paying for your PR and fast entry through a fake degree.

Yup, also scrapping the only allowed to work 20 hours to 40 hours. Folks dont even go to school and just work full hours at dominoes, etc.
Mcdonald's near my house is now all indian international students.

Very big shift.

No party that wants to form government will walk that back though…

Jailed is the proper answer. He should be put in jail for thus shyt. Banks audited to see how much was given to him and his daughter. Treat it like insider trading...
Ford really defrauded Canadians of protected lands and then give billions to friends..
RCMP gonna sit back

Indeed posting will have 1k applied for one tech role smh

It’s over

I noticed a huge difference from the recruiters contacting me last year to this year. I was laid off in Sept 2022, and got a job in Dec. I got hit up by 10 recruiters, and only one was outsourced from India. I put up my open to work on my LinkedIn a few months back because I'd like to move on from my current company, and every recruiter was outsourced from India. Who are they going to recommend to hire? Me or some other Indian person?

Wow, this page is becoming pretty openly racist towards Indians. Pretty fukked up. Your families got here by hook or crook at some point. Don't hate the hustle or the hustlers. Go out and get yours even if it means you have to dip somewhere else. Y'all starting to sound like racist southerners
