Aussie to Canada : r/InCanada - "Funny, I'm looking to get out of Canada for the same reason as you."
"Don't let the door hit you"
"Oh, you are against people immigrating?"
"I'm against weak people that want leave one of the best countries in the world"
"I'm against pushovers like you accepting the deterioration of our country. Stop being complacent. What you said just glosses over so many issues we're having right now and you and people with the same mentality are actually hindering fixing our country and progressing. Fake ass patriotic idiots looking at Canada through rose-tinted glasses."
Left wing logic: Left wingers who criticise their countries are patriotic and telling them to leave is like demolishing a house when it has some problems, but right wingers who criticise it are traitors and should leave. Americans who threaten to move to Canada whenever Trump is elected are trying to escape a fascist hellhole and need to be accepted
Aussie to Canada : r/InCanada - "There arent many places left where you can find people with the same culture, manners, interests, life experience, etc and Canada isnt one of them anymore either. Your only options really are the Nordic countries or places that maintained reasonable immigration targets like the Swiss, but it'd be a competition to get there. If you came to Canada you'd be running into the same issues, housing scarcity, high COL etc "
"Don't kid yourself, the Nordics also have way more immigration then you think. Not sure if you've been paying attention to what's happened in Sweden. Now they feel the same way many Canadians do about unchecked immigration. Poland on the other hand is very minimal on immigration."
"Yeah I have some right leaning friends in Finland and they say they are inundated with a lot of refugees from the Middle East and the one difference I noticed is that Immigrants in Canada at least seem to genuinely want to be here."
Aussie to Canada : r/InCanada - "How do you propose a country like Canada, with this low of a population, hold onto such a large amount of land and resources while other countries are piling up on top of each other and facing war/environmental issues? If we don’t agree to enough immigration we might be targeted with poor trading agreements. Seriously think about it, do you really expect Canada to hold 20% of the world’s water, huge expanses of natural resources and open space with a population of 40 million?! I agree it’s painful to see things change but the reality is we have the land mass to support a way bigger population. The distribution of people and resources is a world wide issue that’s only going to increase in urgency as we keep growing."
The most bizarre argument for mass migration ever
tSlain Windsor woman expressed fears to CBC News days before she died - "Less than a week before she died, a woman stabbed in a small southwestern Ontario town had spoken to CBC about the threats she was facing for speaking out about Khalistan extremism. Nancy Grewal, 45, was identified by police as the victim in a stabbing outside a home on Todd Lane in LaSalle, Ont... On Feb. 25, she spoke with a CBC journalist about extremism within the Sikh separatist movement. “I know sometimes I feel scared when they said '[we’ll] kill you' then I said 'OK, you can kill me anytime,’” she said in the interview. The Khalistani movement calls for a Sikh homeland separate from India that independence activists have long demanded. Not all separatists support violence. However, factions of the movement have been involved in violent incidents. The movement was started around 1940, when a secessionist group sought to create an independent country called Khalistan in the Sikh-dominated state of Punjab. Extremists have been linked to deadly attacks over the decades, including the 1985 Air India bombing. Grewal, a Sikh social media influencer who was a strong critic of Khalistan extremism, said she had been harassed and threatened for speaking about violence in the movement. LaSalle police, which are investigating Grewal’s death, have said her killing is believed to be targeted... In the interview Grewal gave the week before she was killed, she said men started a fire on the front deck of her Windsor, Ont., home one early morning in November. "I don't feel safe here," she said. "The guys attack on my house."... Grewal said she had received 40 death threats, and said she had reported those threats to Windsor police... Grewal had been critical online of the abundant Khalistani signage at the Gurdwara Khalsa Parkash in Windsor, saying images of martyrs and weapons that adorned the walls were counter to the need for a peaceful prayer space. She said she worried about the impact on the gurdwara's children. "When we [are] going in the gurdwara, we need a peace and prayer. But everywhere you look at the gurdwara … all pictures with the AK-47s, guns." Images at Gurdwara Khalsa Parkash include martyrs flanked by guns and Khalistan flags. Asked about the images in an interview prior to Grewal’s death, the president of the Windsor gurdwara defended the Khalistani signs and imagery. “It is nothing to be afraid of,” he said. “It's open to everybody, regardless of your colour, creed or religion. The same thing is for Khalistan.”... The president of the Gurdwara Khalsa Parkash in Windsor told CBC the community is in mourning over Grewal's death — but expressed skepticism over social media accounts claiming responsibility for her murder... Kooner said he was not aware of threats made against Grewal, and does not believe there is a Khalistan extremist movement in Windsor. "I deal with the whole community, right? Not that I know of, no," Kooner said. "Violence is not [the] answer to anything. And Sikhs don't believe in violence.""

Immigration officers don’t have latitude to probe refugee claims, experts say - The Globe and Mail - "Immigration experts say the front-line officials charged with initially questioning refugee claimants do not have enough latitude to probe the details of claimants’ stories, even if there is reason to doubt them. The issue of how and when claimants are questioned came to public attention late last month. That’s when figures provided to MPs on the Commons immigration committee revealed that the Immigration and Refugee Board, which adjudicates asylum claims, has since 2019 processed more than 45,000 refugee cases based on paperwork alone, without in-person hearings, as it deals with a backlog of claims. Critics say this practice may not subject claimants to an appropriate level of scrutiny. Many “file review” cases originate from countries with high refugee approval rates in Canada, though it is not clear how many of these cases were approved and how many were rejected. The federal government has defended this way of doing things in part by noting that refugee claimants are interviewed in person by border and immigration officers before their cases are handed to the IRB. Last week, the office of Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab said in an e-mail that “when it comes to claiming asylum in Canada, officers rigorously review each and every claim before they reach the Immigration and Refugee Board and nobody can claim asylum in Canada without questioning.” But immigration lawyer Richard Kurland said current rules prevent those officers from probing the truth of asylum seekers’ stories. “A person can show up at the border, give a written story prepared with AI, and the officer is instructed to not ask questions that will verify the credibility of the story. Even if officers want to question, and ask permission to so do, they can’t,” Mr. Kurland wrote in an e-mail. Internal documents Mr. Kurland obtained from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada under access to information law, which were reviewed by The Globe and Mail, show that immigration officers have been instructed not to block people’s access to the IRB only because they doubt their stories... An IRCC manual used by immigration officers as a resource says when people “indicate a fear of returning to their country of nationality, the Minister’s delegate is to refrain from evaluating whether the fear is well-founded.”"

What the numbers reveal about the alleged American exodus to Canada - "When Donald Trump was first elected U.S. president in 2016, there was a healthy dose of hyperbolic headlines about Americans fleeing to Canada in response, headlines that quickly re-surfaced after his re-election in 2024. And while it’s true asylum claims from U.S. citizens have spiked in the first full year of both his terms and the ascension of Bill C-3 has opened the citizenship door to untold thousands of Americans with Canadian ancestral roots, new data from the Association for Canadian Studies shows fewer U.S. citizens are emigrating north in recent years. “There is an important gap between the purported high consideration of such an exit and its actual reality,” wrote ASC president Jack Jedwab. In the first three quarters of 2025 (Jan.-Sept.), Canada admitted 20 per cent fewer Americans as permanent residents than the same time in 2024 and the lowest amount since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020... Jedwab said Canada is experiencing its own “exodus” of both citizens and permanent residents emigrating around the world, not just to the U.S., though it remains the top destination. Citing Statistics Canada data, he noted roughly 120,000 left Canada in 2025, three per cent more than in 2024 and the fourth straight year the figure has climbed. More than half (53.9 per cent) were prime-aged workers between 25 and 49, “often mid-career professionals in peak-earning years,” many of whom are highly-skilled immigrants like doctors, engineers and scientists who are leaving at twice the rate of their lower-skilled peers. Seniors (55 and older) account for almost one in seven permanent departures, “with 16,609 leaving in 2025 — an 80.5 per cent increase compared to a decade ago.” As part of the data study, Jedwab sought to compare the socio-economic profiles of Canadian nationals living in the U.S. and Canadian citizens born in the U.S. Using Canada’s 2021 national census to understand the latter and the 2021 American Community Survey for insight into the former, Jedwab found that “rather than politics or ideology, economic motivation is the main driver in moves across the border by Americans and Canadians respectively.” “Even with controls in place, the data point to vast differences in education and income,” he noted. For instance, U.S. citizens originally from Canada are more likely to earn incomes over CAD$100,000 and those workers aged 25-54 were far more likely to earn over that amount than their American-born population counterparts in Canada. In 2021, almost 36 per cent of the former were earning more than $100,000, more than double the U.S. national average (16.2 per cent). In terms of education, both cohorts have more university degrees or higher than the overall population, but Americans hailing from Canada are slightly more educated. The Canadian-born Americans are also more likely to be homeowners. Jedwab also used the most recent American Community Survey from 2024 to get a better understanding of current Canadian-born Americans, finding that more than one in three are 65 and older (34.4 per cent), they are predominantly Anglophones and, despite almost half being well-educated (48.1 per cent), many of those who arrived between 2019 and 2024 earned less than $80,000 annually (64 per cent). Over that same time, Florida (21.2 per cent) eclipsed California (13 per cent) as the top choice for Canadians relocating to the U.S."

Erik Kalanyos ordered deported three years before homicide - "Three years before Daniel Musafiri was killed outside a Hamilton billiards bar, the man police allege pulled the trigger was ordered deported because of convictions for serious crimes. But Erik Kalanyos, now 29, never left Canada. The deportation order alone was not enough to remove him. Under Canadian immigration law he is a protected person because he came here with his family 25 years ago from Hungary as a refugee. A protected person can be removed from Canada if they are deemed a danger. It is Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)’s responsibility to recommend a “danger opinion” to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Yet for years, that never happened, even as Kalanyos committed further crimes, including convictions for robbery and human trafficking."
Kim J Dobranski | Facebook - "In Canada during World War II, you did not see people living in Canada cheering for Germany, you did not see people living in Canada cheering for Japan, you did not even see Italians cheering for Mussolini. It's because Germans, Japanese, and Italians integrated into our Canadian culture and our way of life. And they were Canadian in their hearts. They didn't support the tyranny going on in their homelands. Yes I know there was Japanese internment camps etc. But that's another conversation. Fast forward to today. It's the exact opposite. People come to this country and they cheer for the tyrannical regimes that they have left, and not only that, they have convinced other Canadians to cheer on their behalf. This just proves we've done a terrible job with our newcomers. There is so much unrest and so much division in our country, and it's solely because we have allowed, and encouraged immigrants to transfer and grow their failed cultures within our borders. And bored, privileged Canadians, living privileged lifestyle, are just looking for something to be angry about, to help them have a sense of purpose. To be virtuous, in their own arrogance carrying an inflated sense of self-importance. This is a pretty typical response for those who have lived privileged lives. It's no surprise Canada is divided, and it will be forever divided and it will continue to get worse until we see the total collapse of this country."
Jamie Sarkonak: Chief justice says existence of Canada's border is discrimination - "Anyone in the world who shows up in Canada and makes an asylum claim is entitled to free subsidized daycare if citizens get it too, said all but one judge of the Supreme Court on Friday. They framed their decision as a matter of social justice — seemingly ignorant that their words degraded the value of Canadian citizenship by extending our social safety net, which we pay for, to unvetted foreigners. The case came about because Quebec had excluded unvetted, unapproved asylum claimants from its already generous subsidized daycare program, which is open to citizens as well as permanent residents, work permit holders, foreign students and government-approved refugees. This did not go unnoticed by Bijou Cibuabua Kanyinda, a woman from the Democratic Republic of the Congo who claimed asylum in Quebec back in 2018, along with her three kids. As a mere asylum seeker, she was unable to use the program. So, she challenged it, arguing that it violated her equality rights under the Charter. Her asylum claim was approved in 2021, but the legal fight continued through the courts. And on Friday, she won. It was not a fair proceeding from the get-go. The court welcomed a parliamentary committee’s worth of intervenors to present arguments in addition to the two parties who faced off, most of them with a clear affiliation to progressive causes. This muddied the legal dispute into a broader policy discussion tilted against the interests of Canadian citizens. Six judges of the court ruled that Quebec’s subsidized daycare program unjustifiably discriminates against “women refugee claimants” on the basis of sex, and that the Charter requires every asylum-seeking parent in the province to be eligible. While asylum-seeking women aren’t named in the Charter, the judges said they should be protected anyway due to the rules of intersectionality. Justice Malcolm Rowe for the most part agreed with them, and Chief Justice Richard Wagner went even further. The head of our highest court said that the Charter should include asylum claimants as a protected identity group for several reasons. “A distinction based on refugee claimant status may violate the dignity of the members of this group,” Wagner wrote, adding that it is an immutable characteristic, just like race; that asylum seekers constitute a “historically disadvantaged group”; that they are vulnerable and marginalized; and that international law holds differential treatment based on citizenship status to be discrimination. “This provision reinforces negative attitudes and perpetuates prejudice and stereotyping to the effect that refugee claimants are financial burdens, queue-jumpers whose claims for refugee protection are mostly bogus, and individuals who have come to take advantage of Quebec’s hospitality, generosity and social assistance,” continued the chief justice. “Finding that (the program) is discriminatory serves not only to counter this bleak message but also to denounce and convey disapproval of such treatment of a disempowered group.” Indeed, if Wagner had his way, his ruling would do the opposite: by making it a constitutional requirement across Canada to provide additional citizen benefits to any asylum claimant who walks in the door, he would incentivize even more migration — particularly from disordered, low-trust countries that lack basic services. Such migrants, even if their claims are ultimately rejected, already find it worth the plane ticket to Canada because it means, for a time, getting themselves into our doctors’ offices — and their kids into our daycares and schools. This is very costly to Canadians, both in a financial and cultural sense, thus the nation’s contempt is inevitable. Expanding these entitlements would only make things worse. And yes, egregious cases of asylum abuse abound, many of which have been covered in these pages... In effect, Wagner is proposing to invalidate Canada’s sovereign right to regulate its borders. But even though Wagner didn’t get his way, this decision might still take us on a roundabout path to get to his conclusion. It’s hard to see the judges limiting their logic of intersectionality; it’s likely they’ll find increasingly niche groups in need of Charter-protected rights and taxpayer-funded benefits. Any time the exclusion of female asylum seekers can be found in a piece of legislation, or disabled ones, or “racialized” ones, or LGBT ones, or (insert category) ones, that will be able to form the basis of a constitutional challenge. And, as you can see from this decision, the challenger will come before largely sympathetic ears... Making matters worse, the Supreme Court is currently in the midst of deciding whether to limit the ability of elected governments to invoke the notwithstanding clause, which is the last democratic tool we have to push back against absurd court rulings. Considering how personally Wagner seems to take these disagreements, it’s not looking good. (His position is that courts are more democratic than elected governments and thus, they shan’t be questioned.) So, what can be done? Keep pushing back. Keep demanding better from the top court. Do not allow the courts to trample on what it actually means to be a Canadian citizen. And while you’re at it, provinces, you would be smart to take back your law schools from the scholar-activist faction of the legal world, so that one day we can reverse this judicial mess."
