- You might’ve heard that refugees get a lot more government aid than seniors, people on social assistance, or veterans, which is not true. The CBC’s Karen Pauls breaks down how much social assistance refugees and immigrants actually get.

I was born in Canada and am a citizen who has paid all taxes on time and followed all the laws. I have been threatened by the government several times for no reason and when I suffered job loss, and EI ran out, was just told I was out of luck. I found work after going through my savings, but would have otherwise been homeless.
THANKS CANADA.
The country is a backwards sh*thole.
@Roy Batty
Your lack of intelligence is outstanding.
Then you literally paid less taxes then people on student or work visa, but gained more services.
Canada is the only country that brags about ‘free healthcare’ when in reality its a very slow system that it only provides to citizens.
ive been there homeless a couple of times. i feel im getting close to it again. no family to help me..
Curious what experts say "they will give back more to Canada then they will cost in the beginning"? I would like to see some facts to back up that claim and how long that would take.
And now our government wants to bring in migrant's parents and grandparents. How exactly is an elderly, unskilled immigrant who doesn't speak English or French (and never will) going to contribute anything positive to Canada?
@@trinitylane2202 They'll be sponsored by their family I bet.
you can check the stats, 93% of the refugees will find a job and pay taxes. they also pay the loans which the government paid them at the beginning for resettlement. most are educated and helps the Canadian economy. stats wise their children are more likely to get a higher education than Canadians, also they make more money than average Canadians in one or two generations.
@@trinitylane2202 they are sponsored by family so you not paying, they actually help because they eat and spend while they live in Canada as retired. also, refugees are mostly young educated. 93% will work in Canada. I suppose the 7% will be the ones who are too old like the father or mother of the kids.
Canada is filling up with abroad Liberal voters who don’t know economics, just how to ask for hand-outs.
I only make under $40,000 year and 1/3 goes to the taxman, meanwhile a refugee family gets $50,000 a year? This is just ridiculous
That's a one time payment.
Gouvernment is bullshit
Why should the taxpayers have to pay for these people who are not citizens?
Because left needs votes.
Were all going to pay taxes, including them btw, whether it goes to them or to other programs is besides the point. They are contributing just like the rest of us.
@@at5286 No they are not contributing... they are takers...
#1 country in the worldl!
why? well its just like the tax payer that Paid for your immigrant family to assimilate
So people in Canada
who need disability have to wait longer because the other people who coming here are getting help first . Not fair .
no one is waiting longer!!! refugees are working in fields canadians dont want or are not qualified.
@@elhamhemat264 Why doesn't Canada sponsor Canadian citizens to pursue higher education and give them good job training so we can fill the in demand fields?
Where did it say Immigrants get help first? Please point that out, It's a serious question.
@@SpyroLUVA they do, but not all Canadians are willing to pursue those fields, especially engineering fields. also, the demand for labor is much more than the population of Canada, especially when Canadian are not good at making babies. to sustain a countries population we need on average at least 2.2 birth per woman(Canadian birth rate is 1.5). the growing Canadian economy and increasing elderly population needs a strong and educated younger population which Canada lacks, to fill the gap we need immigration.
@@elhamhemat572 I appreciate that but I looked up the amount of financial aid you can get to be a student and the maximum is less than half the average cost of tuition in Canada. That leaves many willing Canadians out of luck because they don't make enough to make up the difference and still be above water. Also what about accessibility? Do canadian students get cheap enough housing or a large enough government allowance to be able to move to where the schools are? No.
Also I think it's worth noting that the planet is horrifically overpopulated as it is. We do not need to be encouraging more children by encouraging immigrants to start families.
"same as other canadians"
Wait. People who simply walk across the border aren't "canadians" just because they managed to set foot here - or because our federal government coddles them.
Except that we go back to the same old argument that this land was taken by force as you well know. My ancestors likely had some part in that. Did yours?
Didn't we just come ashore and claim the land. The world is changing, get over it.
William Western actually new evidence suggests the natives took the land from another population and executed them all. Based on findings on non native bones at native funeral mounds.
I guess people have been taking occupied land by force ever since there were people. We are on top. For now. :)
I am a US Citizen, the next time my wife and I get in a fight I am going to Canada, grab my 50 grand and a 10K loan. That should hold me over for a week or two, pick up a new BMW then drive it home

Yep
You got that right. This video is propaganda jst like what the news media throws out all the time.
Pathetic, isn't it?
@@frosty5844
Yep... CBC>>>> Shills for Trudeau...
Cheers
@@frosty5844 Can you prove any of this? Can any of you prove anything you're saying?
Why do people who haven't contributed anything to our society get anything while seniors and veterans struggle? Seniors built this country and veterans defended it. I get that we want to help but we can't save the whole world.
Same here in Holland, ... Human Rights Priority wrong ,
taibhsear71 and these people are just running from their country instead of fighting for it like our country men an women did for our freedom!
So what side of an imaginary line you were born on, controls weather or not you are worth helping as a human? I forgot only Canadians are people.
they get more-few of these folks from other countries working-women just pushing baby buggies around and getting pregnant
Just look at the USA dette at the moment. And trudeau seems to be following that path.
The difference between the 60,000 Vietnamese boat people that came to Canada and the current wave of refugees is that the boat people were by and large law abiding people who are willing to accept our law, customs, culture and way of life. Several of my close friends are boat people. The current wave of refugees want Canada to adopt their way of life, some are abusive to local residence and are disrespectful to our culture, their neighbours and damage the hotels that they stay in when they first set foot in this country. I am all for accepting refugees. But send them back if they refuse to integrate into our society.
Facts!
i have or had IRISH ancestors, family that too, were boat people, and many died on the way here... its not just asians or Africans...
@@cuetTimmonz I totally respect that. I was simply using boat people as an example and my comments were not intended to apply only to Vietnamese and exclude others that are in similar circumstances.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN FIRST! HOmeless, the middle class struggling to get by and these guys get the red carpet.
being a refugee is the best, especially when you have 4 children or more, you can survive without even having a job.
Boom Slang you get a pay rise for every kid you drop.
Being a political Parasite is the best... or a job as a spinhead with CBC
Refugees go on to actually work.
nope, the government only pays until you are able to get a work permit or find a job. 93% do find a job.
@@cindybates68 I never used the social assistant too much, the only time I used it was when I came to Canada and my documents were still in process, and by law I couldn't work because I didn't have the social insurance number but after I got my work permit and social security I never used it but people who are using it I know some and the government makes them work, and they only pay the money directly to the landlord and food money to the shops and it is for old people or young children.
Smoke and mirrors from CBC
If you thought this "went well" you clearly dodnt watch that
Total BS! $50,000 is not even average yearly earnings of Canadians. And how long are the refugees staying in Canada?
you didn't listen carefully
My mom makes less than that a year and she's been here since 1998
agreed, there's a LIMIT to how many REFUGEES Canada can absorb, not talking about immigrants with skills/degrees and/or money who help Canadian economy and development, such as those companies (like Ubisoft, etc) that move to Canada or any individual
there's a clear distinction between an immigrant and a refugee.... not talking about race, of course
but the worsts of the worsts are our own companies that don't pay taxes like they are supposed to, hiding money in fiscal paradises, yeah, those motha fuckas CEO (some)......
Give more to the Veterans and senior's instead of those who have contributed nothing.
You didn't mention free dental care which Canadians do not get.
I remember when my family immigrated here over 15+ years ago and my brother was only 1 years old. 2 weeks after coming here he slipped on the floor and cut open his forehead on the hinges of our door and he was bleeding everywhere (he later had to get 6 stitches to fix it), my father was out working and we didn't know how to contact the police or hospital because we didn't have a home phone yet. We used our neighbors and the ambulance came and I strictly remember that because we didn't have our health cards yet they wouldn't start work even though my father said he will pay when he gets there. I remember my mother and I feeling helpless while my 1 year old brother was bleeding out (the hospital staff tried to stop the bleeding with cotton ball and bandage) and I distinctly remember that they did not start helping my brother even WHILE my father was paying but only started work after the bill was completed. Even though my family felt helpless at that time and we felt it was unfair, we never blamed Canada because it was their policy and they have every right to follow protocols.
So it makes me angry to see people who walked into our country illegally getting far better treatment than my family ever got even though it might not be anything as life threatening as ours was. It makes me angry that our hard earned tax dollars are used to help people who have no motivation to help the country that gave them asylum during war.. It's actually the opposite as a lot of these families call their free housing "disgusting" and compare it to "living like a slave". I'm angry because little girls at my brothers own school are getting shoved and assaulted by refugee boys as young as 6-7 and are let off with a simple "don't do that again" and a meeting with the parents. This is not the Canada my family came to love and call home so I can't imagine the hardships of Canadians who are living here for 3, 4, 5+ generations 😔😔
Canada has been 5th columned and is under control of the International Gangsters... Trudeau is a Muppet and a Traitor

I bet they don't set up their house on kijiji, like my family does.
Canadian Mail is sorting it out!
This moron actually refuted her own claim... these migrants do get more... a $50k chq to start.. and cradle to Grave benefits
JS -I bet they do.
It’s not the amount it’s the fact they get served first due to their refugee status .
I came to Canada to travel but on an immigration visa in 1965, I got a job from Canada employment centre for 1.50 where nobody spoke english , I quit after 1 day. A week later I found a job in the machineshop for 3.00 Dollars. Good thing the foreman found a portugiese employee who translated from spanish to english, I myself spoke german, ever since then I did I was on the upswing. The government gave me nothing, had enough money to go back. Always a dictionary in my pocket. In six weeks i know enough english to make the driverlicence and bought a car.
So they get what we get but only we pay for it.
Ya... plus a $50k chq to start..
That's "fairness" in Canada ... equal results are all that matter. Who cares about equal efforts when you can buy votes using the sucker taxpayers' money.
Let's put it another way... I was born in Canada and I had moved abroad at 30 for work and was gone for about 10 years. When I got back, it happened to be the same year our PM was waiting at the airport for the arrival of some refugees with winter coats for them and their Medicare cards, as well as housing provided for them. I had to run around for a full month trying to get my drivers license renewed since it had expired, and had to wait a full 6 months to get a probationary Medicare card, p-r-o-b-a-t-i-o-n-a-r-y....I felt outraged.
I am not saying that many don't have a valid reason to flee their country, but when they know that they will receive housing and cash, of course people will flock to Canada, even if they aren't fleeing something.
The very first thing she said was untrue ,family members have never been forced to repay ANY assistance given although in theory they are supposed to.
They get more help than you think. Meanwhile I struggle to make 45 in food stamps last a whole month.
Why don't they spend that money on our homeless and invest in them, help the ones that are sick and provide help for addiction for the others?
Everyone should have access to legal aid. That's a given. There's no way to justify any of the other payments while Canadians are living below the poverty line and can't qualify for welfare. Our Veterans are waiting over a year for every application they make for services. Somebody has their priorities mixed up.
And why aren't we prosecuting people who cross the border illegally? If I did it, I would be charged.
You have Mulroney to thank for people living under the poverty line.
If you’re a Canadian citizen, you might be eligible for legal aid even if you are below the poverty line extremely below like you have no possessions Knowels you live month to month paycheque to paycheque and you still could not qualify for legal aid
50000$ one time payment...oh sure all Canadians get the same...LOL
"50,000 including a one time payment" if you listen just a bit. That could mean 20000 to pay their one year rent, 30000 for food. That's also the cap by the way, most get much much less.
@@abdallababikir4473 that is a lot of food for one family....folk in Alberta are having a hard time putting food on their tables and they are the folk who have paid the most into this sham.

@@SSViper-hj7yb in june 2019 they changed the law, now no one can come from the USA. about 130k people jumped the border. they didn't pay anyone to be silent. the thing is many asylum seekers didn't even bother the local people. they just trying to save their life locals don't even notice. they get caught before they reach communities.
You know, we in the US used to resent Canada because they seemed kinder and more generous. We were jealous of that. Americans seemed harsher and greedy. Now I feel very sorry for Canadians. It is already a seriously divided country . And it looks like if they continue with generosity to these immigrant hordes they are going to be overwhelmed . What a shame!! Such nice caring people. They are being fleeced and are beginning to look foolish
It doesn’t matter how much they get, they shouldn’t get anything
I wish I got 50k to set up my household. I guess I'm going to have to get some bronzer and say I'm stateless.
they put nothing into the system but take and while those that have given get nothing.
The provinces or Ottawa does not matter who pays - there is only one taxpayer - and that is us.
This is quite the contradiction to the other video you have showing that refugees get better healthcare than most canadians, in fact its on the right panel there>>>>>
Not to mention no punishment for illegal border jumping.
Oh jeez, Youll never get any of your tax money back? Shocking... Wow, some of canada's money gets put into refugee services, just like every other 1st world country on the planet? Wow, shocking. You're a self-centered, pathetic excuse for a Canadian that brings our country shame for being so selfish.
I know that the worst anti-immigration sentiment comes from Quebec but no surprise there. Much of Quebec seems to hate anyone who is not white and French-speaking.
The statistics suggest that most of this money does get paid back and that ultimately many of these people and I emphasise the word, people, end up contributing to Canada.
Foook Youu selfish ?these ppl are just walking into the country and not bothering to do it legally. Thats selfish
Also the 25,000 cash many qre getting when they arrive mostly syrians
Even legally, we have too many of them as it is.
$50K in the first year? I should have applied as a refugee instead of skilled worker 😂, instead of spending $10k just in immigration paperwork + airfare and then another $20k just to support myself (with no welfare) in the first year that I couldn't find a job because I didn't have "Canadian experience". I'm not against refugees but I think 50k is too much, especially if they are getting free housing. There are a lot of things wrong with our immigration system, and I think patronizing immigrants (instead of empowering them) is the cause of most problems.
This is utter nonsense! Given the number of illegal refugees and the very large number of immigrants, the effect is costing the taxpayer a massive amount of money. Not only that but they also put huge pressures on housing and jobs.
Im a Canadian citizen (born in Toronto) who hasn't lived in Canada for over a decade. I left and declared non-resident status. I visit nearly every summer, spending around $8-10k a trip as well as sending money back to support my parents in Ottawa.
I get nothing from Canada, and rightly so. I have to purchase my own health insurance when coming back. That's completely okay with me because I haven't paid into the system for over 10 years.
How in the hell is someone who hops over the border with no previous ties to Canada entitled to ANYTHING though? They should be shipped back to their country of origin and duties assessed on any imports from that country should be raised to cover those costs or some other method of recouping that money should happen.
GwaiRide U.S is having the same problem we cant go over to their country and get free anything !
As an American, can I walk across the border and request asylum??? Will Trudeau take care of me even though I'm a Christian?
there is no such thing as "government sponsored" but only "tax payer sponsered"
Lol... excellent.. our government is not legit..
They are 5th column neo Bolsheviks
$50k?? How come my parents came here LEGALLY and has to build assets from $5k cash they brought? Wtf??
I am a legal American citizen and I do not get any free health care! I have paid into social security since I was 16. I have earned my social security over the past 45 years.
I also have to pay my own legal fees and my taxes paid for my child to go to public school. I do not know of any other country that gives refugees or illegal aliens ANY money or services!
How about our veterans?
To keep citizens a priority over the influx of immigrants and refugees Denmark had cut welfare benefits to illegal immigrants and refugees and many began leaving to more profitable countries (in benefits). Why has our country not put something like that in place? It definitely would sort out those who came for the 'freebies'. ~ Denmark's ‘integration benefit' measure was a significantly lower benefit level being offered to people who have resided in Denmark for less than seven of the past eight years. Foreigners will also receive a financial incentive to learn the language. These were 'integration benefits'. Citizens who have lived outside of the EU (or country?) for seven of the past eight years were also subjected to the new rules. The purpose, to make Denmark a less attractive destination while making it more attractive to work and contribute to Danish society. It reduced the flow in to a more manageable number.
Ok she talks about Vietnamese boat people on the 60s ... did they receive 50k too?
Ridiculous
Absolutely pathetic
How many of them do you lose contact with after you pay them?
How do I get some of this tax money, I worked since age 10, at manual labor jobs paying taxes, now crippled and no assistance, No AISH nor CPPD.
The meaning of refuge: one who runs from his country instead of fighting for it!
This is just peace me off I came to Canada as an immigrant I earned my citizenship with time and i never get a penny from the government...
This upsets me a great deal! My father was a vet, who served , And Trudeau says no money is avaiable, My dad he died ok, and you can give money to a refugee,and shaft my mother who is a widow. Shame on you ! Its true that the refugeess ,get a house,a car , etc, and yet low income Canadians who are on a waitlist get shafted for the low income housing.. We have homeless folks who suffer from Mental illness are seniors on the streets in Calgary alberta,and are waiting for a place to live . In regards to jobs , Canadian employers will hire the refugee over a Canadian because he or she will play the RACE CARD. . CBC wake up! This is the reality of what is happening !.. Folks next election vote TRUDEAU OUT!
Yes of course, a guy that has been Prime Minister for just a couple of years is responsible for the conjured ill's you describe, and the PC Gov't in power for the previous 10 years have no responsibility whatsoever? Living in delusion is a warm opiate huh son.

Strawman argument
They bring jobs.. um.. well.. I mean.. we end up with more social workers .. more handers of money
From what I heard coming from other source .Also when I see them at food banks taking home more than $150.00 in groceries from just 1 food bank they goto 9 amonth .their cell phones are top of the line .Clothes and shoes brand name only .Gold jewllery ladys purses $300.00 and up .And they all have cars from 40 thousand and up . One place i never see them is value village .How do they do iit ?I had 2 kids and on welfare a few years back and I had a hard time trying to get some things that we badly needed and could not afford and things were a lot cheaper .The most I ever spent at no frills been on assistance was $75.00 for the whole month .6 years ago and no cell phone gold. or cars .So how these people do it ?oh and by the way I go ti no frills once a week .Those same refugees are there every thursday spending $500.00. on goceries and none of them work .Some time neighbours talk and thats how things are know .Our government is a big lier .We the tax payers are paying for all of these Once a refugee of this country one canot be sent back or deported so if this refugee never finds a job you the tax payer and I will pay for his or her assistance and maybe for a life time .like in the case of gypsies refugees they are all on assistance go to all the food banks rob the community of their belongins their cars items from stores donations in front of churches and stores they dress the best also spend hundreds of dollars on food they shop for clothes at the mall and we the tax payer brake our backs 6 days a week 10 hours a day like me and I cant afford even half of what these people can .So even if they become criminals we have to support them .Some refugee law and rights should be changed to ensure that tax payers are not been taking advantage of .
Maria you are soo right, I see the same here In Kelowna BC
It was the "taxpayers" who voted for this last election. I guess a bit more sobriety is now called for.
There are immigrants that make more per month than my grandfather who worked his entire life in this country and lives in a retirement home.
The description is comparing refugees to our veterans, seniors, sick and our poor... wow wowowie
What about the hotels turned into refugee camps, such as The Radisson in Scarborough.
LIES,LIES,LIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
true ..... lies...... cuz you don't even exist
I'll lay it out for you:
Me: typical middle of the road liberal oriented Canadian. Non white, immigrant (I wasnt born here)
I worked in a Refugee housing for over 4 years in Ontario.
Most were not war areas refugees (Yes I know there are other types of refugees). I only encountered few refugees from war areas. ONLY 1 person from Iraq, about 2 families were from Afghanistan, 1 couple from Pakistan(I doubt they were real refugees they spoke fluent English, maybe political refugee), and a most from African countries. Its too far for real refugees to get here. Its Easier for them to go to other countries nearby or Europe.
MOST SEEM TO BE ECONOMIC REFUGEES. Most were coming from Africa.
Some are coming from Latin America, which shouldn't be happening.
Once they showed up at our doorstep and we processed them into the system, they were immediately in the same class as a Canadian resident homeless person if they were making a refugee claim. We get money to house and feed them (from the government), and they are given a stipend for basics from the government processed through the Social Assistance/ Welfare system (they get less than a resident/citizen I think.).
They then have to get their case processed by the refugee board, and most seem to get in. I've only heard of few getting sent back.
One person I know at our facility, was given a subsided social housing apartment after a year in our facility. So they went straight from a shelter to a government/city owned subsidized apartment. (Didn't seem like it was a issue for the housing worker...they didn't report it (if they were not the ones that helped the person to get it), they were white, the housed person was Latin.
This refugee claimant, and then month or two new Canadian resident person was given an apartment in a prime area of the city, instead of the 1000's of Canadians, those who came before them, and born Canadian citizens on an extremely long waiting list. How this was allowed to happen I don't know. The person was probably sucking on someone's straw.
I'm just trying to think the barriers these people have to go through to get a job here. We are far removed from the time of the 80's and 90's., and housing and jobs are so hard to get.
Lol the "Canadian government asks them to repay the traveling cost to Canada if they are sent back"....I wonder how much the government recoups?.....more like 0 probably. What a bunch of crap. How do you demand someone to repay their flight cost when they get back to their country?
I’m a Canadian woman who fled violence right after major surgery, Access said there were no shelters for people in casted arm, like me. So I became a Homeless, violence fleeing Canadian woman. Aren’t I supposed to be housed after 5 years of waiting? Never reunited with my kids, my housing allowance is $425 and physically unable to work. How does a refugee has more rights than a survivor or violence in Canada?
I learned several years ago during a time of unemployment that our EI centers are not for us, they are for immigrants. Not one service was for me, but if I was an immigrant, the entire world opens up including lots of financial support, they will even help you open a business. Yet we are the ones paying into it.
If I were from a 3rd world country I'd seek the US or Canada because of the generous benefits.
For the first group of 25000 Syrian refugees, many had very large families. As mentioned in the video, $50,000 depending on the number in the family, probably 8 or more, mostly children under the age of 17? Now add on the child care benefit. For each child under the age of 6 the family gets $6400 & those over the age of 6 to 17 they get $5400. So if you had 8 kids, 4 under the age of 6 equal to $25,600 & 4 over equal $21,600 & it's all tax free. Now add on subsidized housing, free health care, the one time setup housing money & the Government covered their transportation cost to Canada. Total $97,200, most of it tax free. Canadian Immigration Consultant considers this kind of family just above the poverty line. Remember this is just a scenario, but it does show the added benefit of our wonderful child care benefit for families.
NO WONDER I see them drive new cars of dealers yards sporting newest cell phone with great data plans. None of this can a average Canadian senior even dream about, disgusting!!!!

They raise taxes and give to new consumers.. short fix for the economy..
10 years for only 86% of people to start contributing and/or speak the language... That is not a good thing. You had to go back to the 70's to find a success story too? What does that say about the current situation? Asian Canadians tend to assimilate much better than other groups and it took a group of them a long time to do partially do so. How are the tens of thousands of people doing that hate us and our culture?
this is BS refugees and immigrants get treated better
Legal immigrants are also pissed at the amount of refugees. We went through so much to get here. But these folks just get right in and considered Canadians!?
How about ask we the people if we want to help them before forcing them onto us?This is invading.
I wonder which party sponsored this article. It’s brought to us by the liberal based CBC. 🤔🤔
It's the uusual left wing propaganda just like the U.S. mouthpiece media.
Canada you guys and Gals need to rise up and take your country back
Cleverly this videos talks about "how much" and not "how many" refugees get Social Assistance, then uses Vietnamese legal immigrants (the hardest working people in Canada) as an example of how quickly they become self-supporting. The truth about refugees aftermath is that, the large majority of refugees in Canada coming originally from third world countries, live on Social Assistance for several years, some for life, knowing that the Canadian government will provide for them anything they need (Ironically there are very few statistics on this matter and no statistics at all since 2015, when the current government was elected).
Interest free loans for the first year. That is crazy. Student loans are not interest free. Money owed to the CRA is not interest free. These people are not even citizens.
A lying and deceptive video, not surprising coming from the CBC.
50k per year is higher than the average household income for the majority. Shouldnt this be considered a loan rather than a gift
She mentioned 60,000 immigrants. And ten years later 14 percent didn't have a job and didn't speak English or French. So what happened to those 8,400 ? Did they turn to crime to live or did they go back to Vietnam?
The fact that 84% are working is a significant number. Contrast that with only 15% working from the Middle East and having a litter of 9. Giving birth every 6 months. Remember, she said that if it is a large family they get $50,000. Now can you guess who would want to have a large family to get $50,000 of free taxpayer money ?? You guessed it. People coming from the desert.
Take care of your residents first.
Syrians in Norway get 2000 euros per month
Unemployed Norwegians who have worked before for 20 years get 1400euros per month
Omg... $50k ... that’s a lot of cash folks.... Don’t forget asylum seekers have to be supported by our tax dollars this explains why we tax people so high... how can we morAlly justify taking more than 50% of peoples earning ... under any circumstances
The amount of births is staggering. The ones 'applying' for refugee status would give birth here in Canada. Which the people in charge would then have to approve them or the new born would suffer.
you forgot to include the cost of propaganda
Interesting how this video was meant to convince is that it beneficial to take refugees but after seeing “all of what they get” as opposed to “all of what we dont get” .. i kind of feel dooped
Lots of these commenters don't seem to have watched the video...
this is an old video trudeau gives each one 100 000 a year now per person
What about the hundreds of Syrians living in Vancouver hotels because they dont want to move to small town Alberta
how much taxes do they pay? I was in California and they don't have to get a license but they drive cars with no plates on them. In taxachusetts i know a guy who got in an accident with a truck that was driven by an illegal...he did not have a license and they let him go...the company that owned the truck paid. They get more benefits than us and they pay no taxes. I was unemployed once and had no health care. every place I applied refused me health care so at the end of the year I had to pay a penalty for each month I didn't have health care. What penalty do they pay? I am discriminated against for being a poor white american citizen. This country is a joke and I wish I was never born here.
It is the MOST SAD DAY, When the Mayor of Toronto, is ordered to make space for illegal Asylum seekers, ahead of our own communities "HOMELESS"??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Where have all the Protestors Dissapeared to????????????????????????????????????????????????
Unfortunately men are no longer manly and have become castrated and femenized, lack of testerone, thus no will to fight for anything
Those people get so much people from here get hardly anything
Why does she think we are talking about boat people. State run and paid for tv
first nations should also have a say in immigration
Those third wheeling immigrants need plane tickets back to turkey and Mongolia as well
As a tax payer, I sponsor the government. Stop dumbing us down.
This video raises another big question. How much is the CBC costing tax payers? I'm sure most Canadian's would have no problem with defunding them and sending that money back to the Canadian tax payers.
I'd like the "Government Sponsored" asylum seeker program please and a Canadian passport. I'm not really interested in working. Can I collect my Canadian welfare benefits from Miami? I can still fly back to visit your office a couple times a year if you want.
You can but only if you are a muslim with 4 wifes and 10 kids.
Should be doable given all the money they would give you each year. Fuckers!
I'm at the point of panhandling here .. man.. why because i Lost my job and now I'm broke..
50 grand to set up there household, this goverment has to go!
So what happens to the people that get all of these services and they feel it is an entitlement until their last child turns 18. I thought government assistance is to get you on your feet, not support you until your last child is no longer eligible for services.
Seem to come out better as an illegal immigrant just as long as you don’t get caught than actual everyone that works
This information seems incomplete. Perhaps partial, dare I say. 🤔
50k per family? I was born here wheres my 50k handout???
Why are you using July 2016 stats, when the video is dated Oct 2017? How about July 2017 stats... for starters.
CBC busted again.. pack of professional bullshitters
Immigrants that apply and get vetted as against asylum seekers. Two different standards.
Vietnamese are hard working, happy to integrate and don’t think they are entitled - everything the Islamic migrants are not.
50 000 dollars to set up household..they just cross illegally Canadian border, and already crossed 70 000 of them that is. 3 750 000 000...4 billion..who pays for that.?????????
Muslims in Canada and welfare fraud, for example, a Canadian Muslim declares one of his four wives and the other three as dependents, then with 23 children later they then receive $400,000 per year of tax payer money, and that's only on family! It's happening in Canada..
Get an Uzi brother.
C'mon where is the proof
Off your meds again?
I have so much to say, but the first thing that comes to mind is ‘wow, a CBC video where they didn’t block the comments section’
Unusual isn't it? Maybe they just want to identify and monitor ppl who know what's going on
Still more money then wht Canadians on ODSP : $ 2200 As for refugees give back more in the end, I call BS on that!!
This lady lied hardcore about the statics. Lol. You can go to Dearborn and see it.
