Canada reinstating visa requirements for Mexican citizens as asylum claims soar
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 02. 2024
- Mexican citizens will once again need a visa to come to Canada after asylum claims from citizens of the country have soared over recent years.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller made the announcement in Ottawa on Thursday morning, revealing the requirement will be in effect as of 11:30 p.m. (ET) that evening.
Queried about the seemingly sudden decision, Miller said that the federal government has not “necessarily been a tightly-guarded system” and that their goal with such a short window was to mitigate more “bad actors” from “abusing the system.”
Miller said that among all nationalities, asylum claims from Mexican citizens in Canada accounted for 17 per cent of the overall claims in 2023 alone.
The announcement will not apply to Mexicans who hold a valid work or student visa, and Mexicans with a U.S. visa will still be able to travel to Canada without a visa.

Keep making stupid decisions and then backtracking when enough damage is done. Well done 👌
always reactionary but its all distraction, this is being done on purpose to eff with society
That is how the Trudeau government operates. Under Stephen Harper, Mexican citizens needed a visa to come to Canada
Mexicans were never an issue so many employers loved laying high paid employees off to get these guys working for cash. The corporate and private greed loves exploiting cheap labor. Just something the CONservatives won't be happy with once it effects the companies they back. A lot of construction companies backed by conservatives will be like yo we need more cheap labor make a new bill reducing pay or get us more rights to do as we unethically please. More proof conservative backers don't fully align with conservative outlooks. The average conservative is anti LGBTQ but the party has a few elected members openly gay. The west disagrees with the east. Get your party together 😂
how else would they empowerish the middle class, sensible policies?
Yup all seems done by design
All the rest of the immigrants and asylum seekers also need to be vetted. Not just Mexico.
Yes, you are correct in your assessment.
@@JohnSmith-gj8fd Like I said. All. You just admitted that most are. That is not all now. Is it? Who needs to be educated?
Yup, at this point we should just rename Canada into India 2.0
@@edas1315 as the joke I normally hear states: if you’re going to Brampton, you’ll need a passport. 😆
Asylum status has lost all meaning. It used to be reserved only for very very specific circumstances and very few people actually qualified for it. Nowadays, anyone from anywhere can just claim asylum whenever they feel like migrating to any Western countries of their choice.
Did you just listen to the video you're commenting on? He said almost all claims are turned down or the people withdraw. But don't let not watching the video stop you from shooting your mouth off.
@@jiml9856lol look at how many are here ! turning away lol
I agree on the people taking asylum for granted therefore we'll flock into Canda part, but the likelihood of them being approved refugee status is very small. Plus, hearing dates may sometimes take years, which a lot of claimants drop the towel midway and leave Canada.
They don’t respect the hearing result, they stay in Canada illegally or cross to the States thru the woods.
@@jiml9856ya, Irma like he’s never seen ICE broad daylight which I had to witness at a Starbucks pull a passerby and ask for their immigration papers. Who walks around with their immigration papers. People get deported.
This isn’t Canada, It’s India 2.0. The only apartments available are ones offering a ROOM. Is this what our ancestors fought for? Shame.
This isnt your ancestors land to begin with, they fought for something they stole. Wasn't too long ago you converted Canada to Welsh man land
@@divinefem6582 I hope you understand that the various native tribes ALL fought for control over land.
Throughout the history of mankind, land has ALWAYS been won and lost via force.
@divinefem6582 you don't think native Canadians fought in the wars?
What makes you think *they want this?..100s of millions and resources spent and none of it in their communities.
Thank goodness I found a section full of common sense this is rare but refreshing!!
Exactly come to our country but we’re lucky if one of them will bother to speak to you smh 🤦♀️
"We're getting a surge of cartel crimes in Canada and the normies are starting to notice."
The taco people and there cartels are ruining First Nations communities with there drugs, if its not that they are working and not paying taxes , its how they operagte in the us
You are right, but none of those are Mexican cartel, would you care to show facts and proof?
Absolutely true and dangerous too. One's they get settled here, and know how to navigate through Canada, Canada could potentially become, the next meat grinder of the West ⁉️⁉️
sure. The price of a kilo of cocaine in the GTA is the lowest it has ever been, 23,000 for a single. It’s been brought in by people representing cartels from Mexico. Just 3 years ago we were at over 50,000 when it was Canadian groups and the mafia.

Now do something about the people from India, the middle east, and Africa!
@@3ricdunn go to Brampton. The reality is Canada can’t handle 500,000 immigrants a year doesn’t matter where they are from.
We don't have the infrastructure or enough affordable residences for that many influx of people a year. @@thedarkgreenvanman
@@thedarkgreenvanman Brampton is unrecognizable since my parents went to elementary school there. If importing ethnic diversity is like adding spice to a meal, then what we're eating now is handfuls of cinnamon.

Racist!
we in Mex should start asking Canadians visa to come to Mexico too! :/
This government is going nuts , people who are here they don’t have jobs and they are allowing more people 😅
Lol insanity 😆
Actually theres tons of jobs, but they can't just hire anybody as its skilled trades workers is whats needed. Its mostly the minimum wage jobs they are being filled by immigrants
It's not just Canada.
It's the whole world. 😢
Where can Canadians claim asylum?
hahaha, daaaamn!
Do you feel that you are persecuted?
If you are a Christo-fascist: try Florida.
Ukraine lol
Ironically they are doing it in Mexico in a way, running away from Trudie, time to impose some restrictions for them too 🙄
Don’t say Canada just say India at this point
I agree there should be an orderly process for Immigration, but Mexican people who end up as residents of Canada, largely share our western values, assimilate, and become productive members of our society. It is interesting that the Trudeau government has made it a priority to target Mexicans. Is this not what we are looking to encourage among new immigrants.
True, but we have a much easier pathway.
Remember, Mexican immigrants can apply for the TN visa aswell, and can work here relatively easier than in the states.
Our streets are getting flooded with full auto machine guns. The type that is extremely illegal in both America and Canada, before all the gun bans.
Not to mention the sheer amount of fent.
It honestly does kinda suck though cus we do need more immigrants other than Indians, but I really doubt the RCMP is well equipped to deal with Cartels.
Its already bad enough in the states where you have Cartels that just take over large parts of California and steal/extort from farmers and such.
Now imagine that happening in Canada with our incompetent RCMP.
Cartels exist because you guys keep consuming substances, anytime you consume substances you create a market filled by them, all of criminals if not the majority are citizens of your own countries.
I agree Mexican do not build villas on other continents,all their money remain in North America.yes they do come to Canada to have better life,but everything they do improves North America.They do not plunder USA OR Canada as I said they are citizens of America's.
The fact that no connection is made between the territories in which organized crime (Northamerican demand funded and armed cartels) and overwhelmingly Canadian mining enterprises are located is beyond liberal hypocrisy.
Anyone can look at the overlapping maps on the internet.
Lima (Ottawa group) strikes again, and Miller has become the most suitable for Freeland's (NATO) geopolitics.
This is disgusting really. Pretending to care about immigration and changing things for legal immigration when illegal immigration is rapant!
They have no clue what is coming. Currently there are about 10 million people moving out of mexico/venezuella/guatemala/columbia/ honduras/haiti/belize
towards the southern USA border....About 30% of them are not from south america but Africa and middle east.....
Not from Mexico
I've already decided that by the time I'm old enough to retire or die, it won't be in Canada. I don't know where, but there is no way this place will be safe enough or wealthy enough to support what was promised to me
@@idonotknowanynames Canada is a top 3 country.
The US and maybe Australia is better
@@idonotknowanynamesWe still have a bit of time to change things, we need to become doers not talkers.
if they let it keep happening america will be the new 3rd world within 10 years. a lot of these people are violent (as we are seeing in cities like new york)
Some Chinese even pretended to be Mexican 🇲🇽 to come to Canada.
Reinstating visa requirements is a good thing to do to control the border.
I legally immigrate in to Canada from Mexico 22 years ago. I followed all the rules required from the Canadian government to arrive legally in to Canada. When trudeau get in power he right away reversed Harper's decision to ask a visa from the people of Mexico so I wrote a letter to the in that time the Foreign Affairs Minister to warn him about the problems (from abusive Mexicans) of such trudeau's decision. It drives me mad to know that other Mexican's are abusing the Canada immigration system (I do not give a crap about those Mexicans).
I had done nothing but work hard and respect the Canada's laws and traditions. As immigrants it is our obligation to adapt to Canada and our personal believes are that, "personal".
Alot of Indians here in Canada did the same. We tried warning about stuff like the student visa scams, but it fell on deaf ears.
These politicians are too naive, and think everyone from our home countries are the same as the legal immigrants that move there.
you are absolutely right and they got asylum, sin numbers, but they want to still work by cash to avoid paying taxes, and even go to food banks they take advantage of everything, not even the TTC they pay, there is a print company in Mexico that prints the entire month of tickets and they sell it for $20. I am not Mexican and I had a good perception of Mexicans in the past, but after meeting those who came with Trudeau I started feeling disgusted , besides the fact hat 2 robbed me and police and border patrol are useless
Why are Canadians now suddenly vastly outnumbered in overcrowded Canadian cities?
Exactly! I have the same question.
India 2.0 ;(
Diversity 😂
Nobody talks about that not all mexicans want to stay in Canada or migrate ilegally to the US. Some mexicans want to travel to a country that is not Latin America choose Canada because to get a US you need an income above average for any mexican. There are college professionals that make roghly 500 usd a month. This are educated people with no means to migrate just want to do tourism and obviously cant afford to go Europe or other continent. Canada is literally their only option since their income doesent qualify for US visa. I know some family members will get down by this news, they were just planing a summer trip. Now they will probably go to Colombia or Argentina and spend their money there. I know you canadians dont care about this little Mexican money staying in canada. But I do feel for the people that just wont make the cut and have genuine tourism intentions.
So Steven Harper was right When he had the visa requirement in place
Good! What are they seeking asylum from?
And why and how are there so many of them here unchecked?
they are seeking asylum from Cartel members who make life hell for them, seeking jobs, education and a safe home, as well as the fact most services in Mexico are very poor.
unfortunately many of the asylum seekers end up in the same position once they arrive here.
@@snekjek why is that our problem? let them solve it themselves like Venezuela and El Salvador did.
@@trigremlin Facts. Idk why Canada supports Ukrainian and Syrian refugees as well etc. Sending billions in aid to Ukraine/Israel etc when streets of major cities in Canada are littered with homelessness and drug problems along with our ports being the gateway to NA for the fentanyl drug trade. We need to solve our issues at home before we stick our nose in others' business.
@@trigremlin If Venezuela did ,why many people from there are coming here?
@@iamLODDThat's the biggest irony here, Trudeau is still pretending Canada is a great country, and wants to keep giving our money away like it will never run out, and we have no problems at home, just issues made out of thin air by the conservatives in the Country. Things are serene in Trudeau's mind, well that's not the reality for most Canadians these days.
"We want to make sure people don't game the system" -- where have you guys been for the past eight years?
Does this Mexican Visa requirement INCLUDE the Mexicans, China is bringing into Canada, to work at all the Chinese companies, at a record 1,000 per trip, when there are Unemployed Canadians looking for work???
that definitely need to be further investigated
For a solution, first kick out Trudeau and Jagmeet coalition from power.
Compassion will ruin us all!
Its not compassion, the politicians know there is nothing here for them. They see the migrants as potential votes.
The only compassion that school teaches Canadias is only for people from Africa, to their eye they are the only ones who deserved being helped
😂😂
Boooooo enough you can’t feed the mouths here already
Should have been done long ago but I guess better late than never 👍
Conservatives had one, Liberal-NDP government removed it. Keep voting Liberal!
This was a policy under Harper. It was also one of the first things Trudeau removed when he came to power.
Exactly what would be nice if we put Canadian citizens first since it’s our country we should feel neglected and over looked in our own country I would like to see a “even flow “ of citizens from all over the world come to Canada and enjoy appreciate and respect our culture since the influx of foreigners we are over capacity this isn’t a race issue etc it’s a numbers issue are health care system is collapsing rise in the economy is at a all time high and available work low let fix our health care housing cap / affordable housing and so many other issues we need to address and maybe then we can discuss having a free for all for everyone else but this American / Canadian dream that has been sold to foreigners is a fairy tale because it’s became more and more unaffordable and difficult for us to enjoy it !!
How about we just ban asylum altogether? This notion that we have an obligation to cut a pound of flesh from ourselves to care for people that hate our values is utter nonsense
That's weird that Ukrainians fleeing war had to apply for a visitor visa to come to Canada and to work temporarily during war. And you see Mexicans coming to Canada without visa and apply for refugee status and got free money.
I think all the countries who allow immigrants in their country, should have them pay back what funds they received, once settled Ie; housing , job, clothing, food , education.. they pay taxes, Think of it as a loan without interest. This is not a hand out, it's a non burden loan.
Exactly, and that would still be generous.
Just great. Now Mexico will require a visa for Canadians to enter Mexico. Soon we'll all be experiencing nothing but hassle to go anywhere.
Not like the "Old Days" - I travelled from Canada to the USA, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Japan, Hong Kong... on just a PASSPORT.... no visas required. Now it's gone nuts.
Nope. Mexico WOULDN’T dare since it’s their loss if they do in their tourism business. They already said they won’t anyway because if they do, Canadians can enter 187 other countries visa free including the US whose some states resemble Mexico anyway. Go ahead. I dare them. It’s their loss. Never the Canadians.
@@USA-CANADA1480 As Mexican, I can tell almost everybody here wants retaliation, but as you say, it's complicated, let's see how the calculations go on the impact on tourism. 😅
we have alot of illigal Canadians living and working in Mexico not paying taxes so I dont know. the goverment were talknig about that because of gentrification
@@luisangelcanedo6249 go ahead and retaliate. We don’t care. Canada has enough problems on its own. Mexico already has left a bad taste in the United States and now in Canada. Where will your people go now?
@@victorortiz1387 Yeah, here in Mexico we have that problem too, aprox 20,000 families per year have to move to other states due to canadian and us inmigrants, who come here without paying taxes. Not only in the central part, such as cdmx, even in the outskirts. In Bcs I was called to attend a protest, due to Us citizens unlawfully appropiating land and us/can mining companies exploiting resources, till the incompetent gov was forced to act.
Put a 30 year ban on all immigration, asylum seekers, refugees and worker/student permits. Invest in old stock Canadians, we want a liveable wage with hours and benefits, labour shortage solved overnight!
Great idea 👍
If you can have sex and produce enough babies to sustain the population, I am all for that.
Unfortunately, less and less people are choosing to have kids. So if you ban immigration for 30 years, there might be no Canada left to immigrate to
What a fabulous idea!
lmao you don't have a low wage because of immigrants, you have a low wage because you live in an economy where the only true goal of any business is to make more and more profits, and that means keeping down your wages while forcing everyone to work harder and make more money.
this generation is done, 65% of Canadas refugees are on welfare that arrived since 2015. This will cost us billions and billions a year and this generation will pay for them our entire lives!
Times are getting tougher. It's time to think about the interests of Canadians. Crime has gone up. Safety , security , law enforcement authorities should be in place so that criminals can be dealt with sooner than later. After serious violent crimes our police departments have no idea who did it. Very scary and sad .. People are frustrated with Trudeau government. And now he wants more refugees.
So true it seems like the police are clueless always asking for citizens help..door and security camera footage and dash Cam. These are for my personal protection not for police work
It is not only with the Trudeau administration ⁉️ With the Harper administration, it was even worse. Do not forget that ⁉️
Look at murders, pimps and robbers in the news... they aren't Mexican.
Show me the pictures of people stealing cars and shooting guns and tell me how many of them are Mexican
Trudeau wants to be seen as a great world leader far more than he wants to be seen as a great PM.
You should do the same for India Canada has basically become India 2.0 and they should deal with this first
To little to late. We can't support ourselves, we are broke. There is no money.
Close our boarders until we fix our own backyard..
This administration is a disaster.
What good have they done for us Canadians?..
Got it close our borders until we fix our problems
Then once fixed let in 50 million Pakistanis?
Got it
Keep Canada safe again
Surprised Racist Trudeau is not making this announcement dressed as a Mexican Mariachi.

@FreedomandMagicwhat about whiteface.
@@ripley101 and a timeshare
😅lol
Time for in Mexico to request visa to Canadians. Many, many Canadians live in Mexico as tourists. That is gentrifying our cities, particularly beach towns so now that Canada acted first, it's a great excuse for Mexico to impose visa as well.
thats fine
Que se queden en su refrigerador, ni quien quiera ir ahí 😂😂😂
True, they (English speakers) don’t learn the language and are hostile to locals.
Good luck with that you need out Canadian tourist dollar for every 14 peso equals to one Canadian dollar. Even people that don’t pay taxes pay a lot into tourism. If Mexico was China where the dollar is closer to the American dollar and an enconomy willing to buy from you (though you need Chinese investors). Sure Mexico will need to establish a visa. Mexico is not a super power country. The Mexicans immigrating to Canada know it very well. I know Mexicans who own many Mexican houses unable to upkeep $2000 monthly rent.
@ThatGmoney Hi my friend, you are right in many aspects yet, what I mention still holds true. It's a two way street. Many Mexicans abusing your system is not good as increases your already high taxes in Canada. Canadians here not paying taxes also gentrifies our cities, so it's not good for us locals either, you actually mention some Mexicans who can't pay the rent in our own country. Indeed the Canadian dollar is strong but so is your cost of living, hence Canadians come here. And although Mexico is not a Super power, from a geopolitical standpoint, it's presence (political, economic/nearshoring- and cultural) is definetly felt in north america, particularly now that the US has a rivalry with China.
There are still many who come from other countries where visas are required but get here and file for assylum. Those assylum seekers should not be accepted. These are obvious but instead, cut down on international students who bring in billions of $$ to the economy. Go the route of Europe, once these students complete their studies, must leave.
You do realize that internatinoal students dont actually come here to study? We dont have prestigious Uni's worth studying at.
They come here because its a path to immigration in Canada.
I'd rather live in Mexico.
You will need visa thanks to trudeau
He must have had to suppress a laugh when he claimed Mexicans are coming to Canada to study.
😂
A few of them but they also do the tough jobs unlike the indians who only do easy jobs like security and delivery.
Why do we accept asylum claimes from people who have to pass through or over free countries to get here?
Hahaha, no wonder I was seeing a lot of Mexicans in montreal last year. Wow, 23% of all claims. Fun fact, India also has one of the largest # of asylum claims -- I don't understand what they could possibly file a claim for.
Now do India.
I think I will move to Alaska easier for me to sneak into Russia where I can live a safe life
Invest in Canada for Canadian NOT for foreigners🤔🇨🇦
That would be pro European therefore antisemitism.
When I first heard that Canada was dropping the visa requirement for Mexicans I laughed and said, “well this is gonna turn into a gong show” and sure enough here we are. It’s funny that politicians are so lacking in common sense are that they can’t see the obvious standing right in front of them. 😂
i came to canada as a worker, i’m still working, i respect the laws, i try to help a lot or people as much as i can offering my services as a mechanic, im latino and of course, i can see this as a good opportunity for this wonderful country to put some order for those who come here to do the inappropriate things, they don’t like this new rules, but this country deserves all the best, all citizens deserve our respect as foreigners, i live in an small part of a building, sleeping on a mattress in the cold floor, but im doing my best and doing the right things, even when there’s a lot of people complaining about everything when they have everything and so far enough than me, i just have my mattress, my pillow and a few of clothing, im happy to be living and being part of contributing to this beautiful country, all my respect to canada 🇨🇦 and his people.
Immigration has managed all these countries coming into canada bad. Since Ukrainian , india, n mexico numbers have increase compare to other countries. They didnt realize that people would abuse the system as there are lots lopeholes.
Telling people canada does not enough workers because they dont want to increase the salary has cause alot people from different counyries to come. But tax payers have to pay free housing for everyone while already residents in canada are still kept in the waiting list for housing. Why are people still in waiting for years while others that arrive have homes already n are not working but the system is helping them. Of course this was going to become an issue.0😮😮😮😮
Ridiculous 40 million people and counting and we still don't have enough workers.
If we have a worker problem, we should be importing people from Japan, Korea, Europe, and America. ESPECIALLY AMERICA.
You are responsible for the MESS. You voted Trudeau in last elections. When I mean YOU, it is nothing personal but pointing to the mood of Canadian Electorate. I did not vote because I sm being FORCED to live outside Canada yo SURVIVE.

I know Mexican are hard workers, but we need to respect and follow the law in Canada. Asylum for what? Unfortunately, i heard that some Mexican think that being refugees will have free house, free education, etc. If you are in danger is good to ask for refugee, but also the tax is very high to pay for asylum. Im sad as well that my brother wont be able to come easily. Visa it is and hopefully it gets better, this world have to get better, its not just the government, but as a citizen we can change the world
They won’t. They will find it so hard without work permit and no one to pay for their housing, they have to go back!
Someone please explain (better than he did) why such a short span between announcement and implementation is necessary?
i was wondering the same thing...
Porque no nos respetan
Have the politicians went university in Canada?
Why will they bloke one group, but allow other group to enter, meanwhile allowing Drug use, and spending bare money.
Good! I came from Mexico but before I moved here (Canada) I stayed in Mexico for 6 months while Canada revised my paperwork and allowed me to become a resident. I followed their laws and rules. Why others get to just get into the country and stay here, daring the authorities to kick them out?
THERE IS NO HOUSING, THERE ARE NO JOBS..
Didn't we try this no visa for Mexicans thing back under Harper ? The same thing happened back then but Harper was on top of the situation if I'm not mistaken.
Ignore, or even directly cause a problem, wait until it's a massive issue....
This liberal ndp govt has been a complete disaster.
In Post National Canada there’s 30 million Canadians, 14 million residences and 10 million foreigners occupying Canadian homes
They allways pick on Mexicans.Mexicans are North Americans,and the money they earn remains in North America.Some politicians should open their eyes.There is more cheating comming from people that come from other continets than it is comming from Mexican people.The problem really comes from multinational companies.They produce a lot of products in Mexico for North American markets and paying one quater of the wages in Mexico comparing same products produced in Canada or USA.Even CCP China is setting up manufacturing factories in Mexico to use cheap Mexican workforce, because those products are produced in Mexico the tariffs are lower when entering USA and Canada.Mexican workers have no choise but to move to Canada or USA where they get paid higher wage for the same job they do in Mexico.
Until 2020 (pandemic), most lifelong Canadians would have proudly & quickly said Canada is a great place. For multiple generations (young & old). It still is in many ways. But like all countries, a bunch of things have made life more difficult lately.
During the COVID lockdowns, many people in apartments (or major cities) went wild wanting to buy homes everywhere (urban & rural). Increasing demand and rising prices. Not long after, inflation caused mortgage rates especially to rise. Rent costs have soared too.
People interested in working in hospitals declined. Less doctors etc..
Simultaneously in Canada, the number of people coming by air, land and boat to claim asylum SKYROCKETED. For example, in 2023 alone, in just one region (Ontario) around 300 people arrived per day (on average). Ditto for other populated provinces. Also the number of international students skyrocketed too. Averaging around 1,000 per day in 2023 alone.
Hospitals then hit with many wanting free healthcare. Less doctors/nurses etc., means greater waiting times.
A severe housing crisis has occurred in many western countries including in Canada. In ways not seen in people's lifetimes.
The majority trying to migrate to Canada recently have been from South Asia. And it's become extremely obvious to Canadians. Even those that are very used to much diversity & many cultures. Neighborhoods now know that most international students are primarily seeking a ticket to come to Canada for PR. No one says it in public amongst strangers, but everyone knows because they've witnessed the extreme PR frenzy firsthand by now.
Bottom-line. Now westerners want greedy people in other countries to stop marketing/lying to their own people about access to PR or citizenship … or accommodation/jobs … being easy (to get). And for greedy westerners in the mix to be ashamed of themselves for hurting students.
Not all players across the board have acted honestly over the years, i.e. false asylum claims, contract marriages (IELTS spouse), anchor babies, fraud. 'Agents' doing things to make $ off of people's PR desires or desperation. Canada has asked the India government to prevent “ghost consulting”. Private colleges are being investigated (including for foreign interference). Some not respecting Canadian ways (harmony).
Then this year throw in all the Palestinian vs Israeli angry protests happening regularly in cities. Plus the Sikh vs Hindu violence/extortion primarily happening in Ontario and BC. Plus the Canadian government also recently launched investigations in regards to foreign interference in Canadian elections. All stemming from Asia continent. Hate crimes have gone from rare to occasional.
Canadians are not used to all this. So many, who have embraced multi-culturalism and immigration for decades are now worried and fearful (due to all of the above). And all are praying it doesn't turn into great anger (like in the USA).
Canadians want multi-culturism to succeed … and for all people to be okay. Everyone I know is HAPPY with Canada Immigration's recent changes (reductions). Including multi-generation long-term Asian Canadians.
That’s it ?! Can you write some more .
Spot on with your lengthy post. Students come under the pretenses of studying but only here for the PR card.. I've seen a lot at the company I work at. If they don't get it in Ontario they will move out East and eventually come back to Ontario once they acquire it

The goal all along was, is, and will be to

Too bad we don’t have their beaches
Shouldn't anyone from other countries have visas to come here?? To visit, work and immigrate legally?
So, you have no idea for the past decade about the relationship of Canada and Mexico when it comes to visa requirements. You need to research and read. It will feed your curiosity.
@LifeOdysseyMotivation I don't have to, I have to have a Visa to travel elsewhere. But I did suspect part of this is political.
Why does the government work at 0.25 speed? They're so reactive and not proactive
That’s what Harper had in place until these Libby’s canceled it
im not big on discussing politics, but this is something I can get behind. I have immigrant friends and I love them, however there should be a max on how many people are allowed into the country at once so as to not overwhelm the already large population.
I think we need a large population though undeniably. The British didn't allow Immigration because they were afraid we would go independent like America.
Our country is seriously limited by our small population. California has a larger population than we do lol.
That being said, we shouldn't stray from having immigrants from "rich" countries aswell honestly.
Immigrants are hard workers, but too much of them from poorer backgrounds, can be a burden on our public services.
Im indian mysel, but someone from Japan/Korea is gonna be well off and less of a strain on public services, than someone from India.
We shouldn't forget there's a bunch of people from the USA, Asia, Australia, UK, Sweden, and whatnot, who would love to move here.
Also it would be good for the culture too. Too much of one nationality in Canada would be pretty bad for diversity reasons.
Also why tf dont we have more Americans moving here?? Were literally neighbours and extremely similar already.
We can easily get our population up to size if we invite more Americans. Im surprised why nobody has considered this aswell.
@honkhonk8009 I do agree with everything you mentioned. It's great to have diversity. It's a shame things out west are so expensive tho, as I'm sure more people would move there.
applied for my Mexican daughter and wife day of this law change and they still haven't even got an appointment at the consulate to get biometrics done yet....
I will personally write to the president and congress petition them to remove rentista visas, it unfair we are always cornered and excluded, used as a political punch bag, especially for the conservatives like LeGault and the United States as pernicious and bothersome as always sewing knives everywhere.
If the indigenous peoples of the western hemisphere had an immigration department 500 years ago, there would be lot of us living elsewhere today.
They are lucky it wasn't Spanish.

There is a vast difference in "migrating" to a pre-existing country with a generous welfare state funded by taxpayers and conquering a land occupied by warring tribes who were ALSO fighting over land.
That elsewhere will be Canada and everyone going there also 😆
I sometimes secretly wish Canada was a tropical region or owns islands 🏝 even though I love Canada's various climates and geographic landscape, but again I can't trade big forests, open prairies, mountains and inland lakes and rivers for a one dimensional tropical paradise 😆
Ya just let the people with totally different religions and values in instead 😂
Why would anyone want to immigrate to Canada ?
Here in Mexico it's needed a Visa for them too. Many Canadian companies are talking over the mines and mexican natural resources.
Let's just figure out how we can get everyone a doctor first....
Gaming the system is using the term asylum seekers. Mexico president is more concerned about the visa requirement rather confirming that there are no political persecutions leading to citizens 'fleeing'. Meanwhile our tax dollars are waning, public services deteriorating and homelessness increasing. FED up!
As I Mexican/American who holds two citizenship will as my fair share of this new visa requirement for Mexican citizens.
1. There are Canadians & Americans who take advantage of visa free travel to Mexico. They’ll work remotely in Mexico without applying for a residence visa & try to stay as long as they can. Also that basically means that they don’t pay taxes.
2. There’s a numerous amount of American & Canadian tourist who have stayed undocumented in Mexico.
3. Where’s the evidence of people who hold Mexican passports that committed the illegality? As many asylum seekers might be undocumented & will lie about their countries citizenship.
4. This problem could’ve been solved & dealt with if both countries were that committed.
Canada’s defense.
1. They should not only pick on Mexico but on other nationalities as well.
2. Work with US officials in preventing firearms get to the US-Mexico border.
3. This first pointed I added should apply to all other nationalities.
Say no
Lessons learned: Never give visa free entry to citizens of the third world, volatile, Muslim majority or communist countries or this disaster will happen.
Meanwhile, most Canadians are moving to Mexico 😂.. This is just to save face. In reality, no one wants to live in the hell that has become Canada 😂
It’s too late
Create the problem, then the solution... There is a trend here.
How about caring about Canada's border as much or more than Ukraines!!??? FJT
Finally
Mexico needs to require visas for foreigners too
We shold limit asylum to females and children under 5yrs. Also lower the welfare non citizens recieve (or have them volunteer in exchange for food and shelter).
Then everyone will start identifying as female to get in Canada.
Taco seasoning is going to go through the roof!!
and beans
Yo quiero Taco Bell
this is how we get rich!
I agree that more regulation should be done for immigration, but this comment section shows how extreme people are becoming towards immigrants.
Well then if all of them are coming here I'll go there
Thank you! I worked at a legal cannabis processing facility in the GTA that hired 20 illegal Mexicans that worked 60 hour weeks. The owners then cut our hours and then eventually let go of all the citizens and caused a crap ton of drama. The owners were also supplying them with housing... it was a win win for them and a total disaster for us. I'd love to share my story on Global News if you are interested.
yo probably were too slow or lazy thats why 🤣
@@victorortiz1387youre right.. i cant keep up with the speed of human traffiking and employment abuse... its rampent all over GTA... also that is racist towards Mexicans... who are you to say how fast and effictient they work?
@@spencore Same happened to me, used to work at a small architecture firm in Brampton, and one monday all of the sudden we had 6 new Indian coworkers.... not even two weeks went by and our boss fired all of us except the Indians, dont get me wrong, i have good Indian friends... but too many are TOO MANY!
@@edas1315 I'm sorry to hear, myself and all my Indian friends agree with you.. even the few that have just been here for a year. But this is straight up a mass corportate greed issue that the Government needs to fix ASAP. Its crazy to me that this is even happening in not just fields like architecture, but also psychology, the industy my wife works in. This corporations and people are know all the loop holes that we werent taught in school... we recently moved the London, Ontario ✌️
Even Cartel criminals are eligible for Asylum now?
Every single Mexican I know here in Toronto :
1- Come as "Refugee"
2- Apply for PR & citizenship
3-Work Cash
4- Go right back to Mexico for vacation as soon as citizenship is approved.
5- Open restaurant or construction business.
oh look one of justin trudeaus BEST FRIENDS..... groomsmen at his wedding..... is this NOT CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Good, I am mexican and I agree with this decision.

Liberal admission of a Liberal failure…finally!
Stop TRV form Bangladesh
Why? What is wrong with the people from Bangladesh coming here?
@@LifeOdysseyMotivation With due respect, don’t misrepresent my comment. Nothing wrong if they come on PNP, Express Entry or Work Permit. Govt should stop TRV because they are using fake documents and after arriving, 90% are claiming fake asylum.
RCMP should be charged We want Trudeau & Liberals and anyone involve in Public Federal prison no excuses no bail in prison to court Take his passport and lock his private plane
