as a young canadian i got denied from alot of the schools i wanted to go to, i figured it was probably because my grades weren't perfect, but the reason i want to go is to improve! and yet when i visit the school its almost entirely immigrants who pay 4 times as much, not 100% sure thats the reason but i cant help but make that comparison

Aren’t Canadian schools supposed to teach Canadians?

Conestoga College's President John Tibbits was the worst offender, recruiting 32, 000 international students causing massive social problems in Waterloo Region

What a clown, what a national embarrassment, what a fool!

Why are Canadians now suddenly vastly outnumbered in overcrowded Canadian cities?
Shouldn’t Canadian homes be owned and occupied by Canadians?

The buck stops with you Trudeau. You issued every visa.

"BLAME ANYONE BUT ME"-Trudeau

[alelectric]

Of course they did. But YOU opened the door for them to do it and then did nothing about it.

While it's true that unscrupulous money grubbers took advantage of immigration, they couldn't have done so without the cooperation from the federal government. Calling anyone who criticized immigration a racist didn't help either and gave social license for this to happen.

You mean those strip mall Colleges with Indian/English signs aren’t accredited?? Who would have thought

Service Ontario employees involved in a major car theft ring too I heard.

Canada certainly is not great

[jmcb]

Nonsense. They knew they screwed up because they knew so well that there are always someone to game the system, no matter what it is, just like their cabinet members gamed every public funded program.

He said in that video that immigration will balance itself😮- he never learns

[JessT-vgib]

Trudeau isn't that smart...what did he think was going to happen.

[Keepasking]

Blame, blame, blame. Such a narcissist.

[rarts]

Not real accountability, is never his fault, incredible

[Jstrez]

I cant believe that Trudeau said we should prioritize climate over feeding families. He is absolutely out to lunch. He's on a different planet.

Closing the barn door after the horse got out. Welcome to the new nation of Whateverland.

[psychodin]

And there goes Trudeau blaming everyone else but himself again….

There seems to be a proliferation of “international” schools who offer training in topics that could be easily be taught at home for cheaper. Why would you need to come to Canada to learn about the hospitality industry (or any other field of study for that matter).
