900,000 students coming in…

25 years ago my buddy use to joke about launching a canoe at Humber Bay, tossing his ID overboard, paddling up to Queens Quay, and claiming refugee status (he was a bicycle mechanic at the time). Little did he know how prophetic he would become.
 
I’m super over-simplifying, but what if the schools who are making money off these students were forced to provide housing for them? I know Conestoga College near me has acres and acres of unused land.

Good way to suppress wages when you have 900k students coming in that are willing and happy to do minimum wage jobs.

Funny you mention that. Many Indian managers/franchisees (think McDonalds/Wal-Mart/Timmies/etc.) love to hire international students from India because they can exploit them. Also no need to speak English when you can speak to your employees exclusively in Hindi.

And then they bring this kinda crap here too: ‘I came here to escape’: Toronto tackles caste-based discrimination in schools
 
Where else are we going to get our awesome dump truck drivers.
... that illegally dump their crap on city/private land in Brampton. :mad:

There's an access area just north of the 407 on the East side of Goreway. It looks like it goes into the hydro fields. They're always dumping dirt in their. Someone cleaned up some of it a couple of weeks ago and it's back full of mounds.

Unbelievable the lack of respect for others property/personal space/red lights/stop signs/lane markers/etc etc. in this town. I can't wait for the day I'm outta there!!

I see it all the time. One of the managers I’m aware of only hires new Indian arrivals because anyone with experience here won’t take his $hit that he does. Abusive, threatening, and a real POS to his staff.

Obviously nothing documented so hard to prove, but I’ve never seen such turnover in a department.

People live what they learn. Many try to escape the corruption, poverty, filth of their home nation, only to do the exact same here.

EXACTLY! Do we need proper training when they arrive here then? Like these are the customs here: ____, These are things you don't do here: ____, Etc:

My parents were immigrants from western Europe ... heck, even I am too but I came here as a baby. We never did that Sh!t. We were grateful for the opportunity and respected others.

The problem is all of the "good" countries have already immigrated here and we're slowly going down the list towards the putrid 2nd & 3rd world bottom.

filth is everywhere
haiti might be one of the poorest and most corrupt and violent countries in this day and age, i think we have the 2nd biggest number of expats in canada (obviously miami is a lot closer LOL), my parents emigrated in the 70s from what was one of the "worst 3rd world countries" but they both got jobs (teacher and then eventually gov't) and raised kids like a lot in the haitian community.

On a single teacher's salary at first, in today's day and age, it might not have been as possible to do so. So obviously the newcomers now don't have it as easy as the previous newcomers did back in the day, there were less rules, lower costs and a lot more people were in the same situation and had an understanding.
 
Back to the latest topic, Nothing like having one of the new kids at work talk to you with the tone they'd use with one of their parents' servants.......then getting the racist card played after you straighten them out on talking down to co-workers.

This is the problem I’m finding, if you don’t listen or agree with someone all of a sudden they pull the racist card.

No, you’re just an a$$hole.

Same with this. Stop immigration of students because the country can’t handle it - nope, you must be a racist

I can see why some friends are selling everything and moving back to their home countries. They can’t do anything here on good salaries and feel like they fall further and further behind each year.
 
I saw somewhere where they looked at the rising cost over the years in the U.S. at a big university, and they found that a large chunk of it was a massive increase in the number and salaries of administrators.

The level of bureaucracy and administration is insane at the universities, and yes...that's where the majority of the money goes.
 
WTF!? We can barely keep up with the demands on housings and jobs and we are importing 900,000 students this year alone!?

I mean effing hell, is everyone scared to call this $hit out because they’ll be classified as a racist?

‘Students’ signing up for run of the mill diploma ‘colleges’ so they can bypass the system and strain our quickly draining resources.

Shut it down. Let’s get our house in order first.


This is now 900,000 people to feed, house, and protect. Not to mention some of these students are running to the food bank for free food. Those should be found, visas revoked, and lifetime ban on coming to Canada.

Hoodoo levee f lol in addition to the 600k other migrants. Housing prices will never be affordable
 
And the builders are slowing down construction due to interest rates and material cost increases.

And yet BoC keeps cranking and cranking the interest rates.

Something will give soon.

Builders are somewhat protected in the short term by sales that occurred at the peak but have not yet closed. Builder would be an idiot to break those contracts. Get those done and they are money in the bank. Either it closes or falls apart and you sue for the differential from current sale price and win. As many were investments or step up properties, the buyers have some equity you can go after. Now, new sales and starting new builds could see a real slowdown as costs are still sky high but market prices are way down.

Allowing students to go to school here is not the same thing as granting them immigration status - once their visas run out they'll still have to jump through the hoops in order to stay. As was mentioned earlier in the thread, it is however a great way for the parents to buy said student a condo to live in and launder some offshore currency at the same time. Once junior is done, they can sell it, rent it, or just let it sit empty as property values increase.
You are underestimating the amount of corruption and fake documents that go on from one country in particular. My friend told me he just met a guy the other day new at his temple, came here looking for a one month "tourist" visa, border gave him 3 months with no questions asked. Now going to hire a shady lawyer to convert it into a working visa and stay for good. 50k is reported price and will make payments to lawyer until it's paid off. Many getting really rich off of this. Cash, no taxes paid of course.

Hopefully this thread doesn't get shut down due to racist tone.

Also the irony of so many of these "colleges" are %90 or more online courses :ROFLMAO: so why even the need to come here and drain the system when can get these educations from back home?
CBC has a story on Youtube on this subject, again so many fake documents, students have to pass an English proficiency test before they're accepted...of course many cheat on that and pay someone else to do it and come here and need everything translated while in class. Also classrooms are way way way undersized banking on students doing courses online...

Crazy to me how many can quickly get their parents and whole families here to get free healthcare and benefits having never worked a single day in Canada in their lives.

All legit comments. Came in through the international terminal the other night and they had a section cordoned off with a "New Students" sign with ~100 seats in there. Was wondering WTH is this about? Canada voted for this leadership. Many times over.
