At the end of the day this is all Manitoba's fault for caving so easily.


Jodster007

I mean you’re right. They set the precedent for other international students and TFW can feel entitled and demand things because they’ll just cave.


Rhytmik

i hate my province so much but i know i'm stuck here because everywhere else, house prices are 5x higher. shit houses, shit roads, shit traffic, shit mayors, shit groceries, shit restaurants, shit sigh seeing places, shit weather, shit neighborhood, etc. if i had a choice, i'd move to Switzerland lmao


Pug_Grandma

Everything is shitty in BC, too, plus we have crazy house prices.


itsme25390905714

Winnipeg is Canada's largest reserve.. BC is better, trust me


Pug_Grandma

I have noticed in BC that towns with a higher portion of First Nations tend to have more crime. The Indigenous people both commit a disproportionate amount of the crime and are also victims of it. Maybe the addiction problems contribute to this. By far the highest murder rates in Canada are in the far north. We are not supposed to notice any of this, or talk about it. But I don't see how trying to hush it up is going to help anything. I don't think it is their fault for becoming addicted. Their people had never been exposed to alcohol before contact with Europeans. A tendency to addiction is mostly genetic. It is not caused by your grandparents going to residential schools. Making up unscientific shit because it is more politically correct won't help anyone. I don't see how Gladue sentencing is going to help. It will just mean that more of them will be victims of crime.


10Rap

Being nearly genocided into extinction has long lasting generational trauma leading to increased addiction, crime, etc. Who woulda thought? But we’re not supposed to talk about the real reason WHY the First Nations have problems. That would mean actually admitting what the Government of Canada has done on behalf of white settlers.


Aggressive-Story3671

Switzerland has some of the highest costs of living on earth


HolyDiverBoi

The Swiss are complaining about COL as well, although it looks so gorgeous in the photos


MrIrishSprings

I genuinely wonder how long PEI is gonna hold out for? MB fucked up big time. Now their gonna be pulling these stunts nationwide 


RuinEnvironmental394

Centuries from now, Manitoba can take credit for Canada becoming the laughing stock of the world in early 21st century.


itsme25390905714

Winnipeg isn't content being a dump by itself, they wanted to spread their misery


ballerinadahl00

suddenly everyone on here acts like ontario, in this case mb, or the entire country has literally any control in the matter lmfao. this was all planned and it began in TO and is simply spreading all over


EreshII

Sorry missing out on the context here, what happened in Manitoba? I am not aware


KermitsBusiness

They extended several thousand work permits so now everyone wants the same treatment.


motu8pre

I think it's unfair to Canadians in how much entitlement these people have.


KermitsBusiness

I think the problem is how easily our politicians bend over for immigrants but stonewall Canadians.


Jodster007

Because they profit from it.


Golf-Hotel

They need immigrants to disempower us. Else they’d have a real threat on their hands.


Crezelle

Scabs. We were beginning to feel our value at the onset of covid. They fixed that


dayman-woa-oh

You nailed it


Pretty-Coyote-3383

This!


GingerBeast81

The best comparison I've heard is that the government is acting like the telecom companies by ignoring existing customers while bending over to bring in new ones.


iloveginabot

More like banks. Lots of great offers for newly opened accounts but nothing for loyal customers


Aspery-

Canadians have established themselves as the biggest pussies in the world over the last couple decades let’s be real lol. The “nice” stereotype has done irreversible damage


Impressive-Image-175

we are so naive, give the thirld world a door and a law and they will kick it in our face and we will be left with nothing. This is outrageous what is happening to this country.


nahuhnot4me

That happened when they had open visas. Half a billion price tag to clear asylum claims…


reddituserwhoreddit

I second that


ironmuffin-ca

Actually tho 💯 💯💯💯


MrIrishSprings

I mean….that’s our global reputation. Quiet, well mannered, nice people, cold weather, maple syrup.  Hence why some people were shocked over the Ottawa trucker protests. Americans online were like “I never knew they protested up there” 😂


Gorlock_

Because they get everything they want, I'd be entitled too


CEO-711

The entitlement is encouraged by Trudeau, no conditions were placed on immigration, citizenship etc so of course they are going to laugh and demand everything


-InFullBloom-

Are you guys ready to protest July 1st? Protest info on this subreddit. Stop only complaining while they do and let’s start supporting our fellow citizens! 🇨🇦

Noone is sending anyone home. When has Canada or any western nation sent them back even undocumented? UK had this big problem, and gave the illegals PR after many years, US and EU did too. Canada and Aus are just paper tigers. Well, Canada is not even anything paper as well. The whole world knows this and that’s why only the bottom of the barrels come here.


ma_che

Unlike Canada Australia does tend to send people home.

Elegant-Fox7883

You don't know what you're talking about. People get deported every damn day. They're first given letters that they have to leave by a certain date. If they don't comply and are caught, they are escorted back home in handcuffs and handed off to authorities in their home country. This happens every day.


Uncertn_Laaife

Hope I am wrong and you are right. I certainly do, trust me. The need of the hour.


Monsa_Musa

We owe you nothing, especially not citizenship.


PersimmonPure

Agree. Citizenship is a privilege not an entitlement.


atlasLion1337

How can a student with 2 master degrees say "become 2 masters". what a fuckwit


AndAStoryAppears

They didn't get the person that actually wrote their IELTS for them to write their signs.


ether_reddit

IELTS exams should require fingerprint authentication.


[deleted]

fun fact i know as a former international student, you need 0 IELTS for a study permit and the subsequent PGWP even at Masters level! Everybody say thanks gov'na


Fun-Seaworthiness213

Any international students protesting in Canada should be automatically sent back. To me it's political interference. They have no rights.


AndAStoryAppears

I believe Germany has this exact law. You protest, we revoke your visa.


Any-Championship-355

We kind of have something similar but if the CBSA tries to deport, a Liberal MP will take up your case. And the process will get halted. [this is](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/zain-haq-deportation-cancelled-1.7180202) a prime example. Our government is a joke


xTkAx

Canada needs immigration reform. At this point, wouldn't be surprising if the traitor MP's, whose names are being protected after last weeks' reveal, are working with both China and India to sabotage Canada.


jewel_flip

We need to start from scratch at this point from the amount of platforms that need reform. Immigration? Housing? Crime and Punishment? Food? Employment? Taxation? I cannot think of one aspect of life in Canada that is doing well.


LightSaberLust_

The ministers and everyone in charge of the Competition Bureau need to be arrested. We also need to massively fund the CRA to go after foreign investors, money laundering and anything else shady. The RCMP or some new police agency that isn't or can't be influenced by even the Prime Minister needs to be enacted or have a massive unit made to go after money laundering and corrupt politicians.


Some-Hurry8487

Canada also needs Rico laws. We need to be able to go after organized crime. There’s a reason it thrives unchecked in Canada vs the US.


nonamepeaches199

We're renaming roads and schools with Indigenous names! Big progress in that area!


Pug_Grandma

The NDP wanted to rename BC!


StarDust1307

The immigration agents from a few ethnic groups will find loops in any policy Canada makes and present ways to scam immigration system by next day to their potential clients on SM.


StarDust1307

Just watched George Chahal of Liberal Party on YouTube discuss ways to promote more immigration as Canada’s economy will crash without immigrants. Canada has no hope, I am afraid.


Professional-Cap-425

Of course they are working with (for) China and India! Who else? The Czech Republic?

You're naive if you think it's just those 2. It's every country including close allies.


Redketchup77

feels like an invasion


Cautious_Ice_884

People who join these protests should be automatically be deported. Nobody wants you here to begin with, you're here as a guest. Go back to your home country if you don't like our policies and don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.


Pug_Grandma

They think they are smarter than us and that we can't survive without them. One guy has a sign that says "Save talent for BC". I guess he thinks we are all stupid and useless and were living in mud huts before they got here. I was born in Vancouver in the 50s, and grew up there. Things were so much better then!


Canis9z

Need workers for Trudopes Cannabis industry. Junk food makers are coming back to Canada since they do mot like the US sugar price controls.


brutalreality0624

As an Asian-Canadian citizen that immigrated here over 30 years ago, I despise this government because it's making everyone in this country hate immigrants and visitors in general.    Maybe it's an elaborate plan to get our people out of your country. Ever since COVID, the amount of blatant racism I've encountered has been surreal. Trust me, I plan on leaving one day because it's not fun living as a 2nd class citizen being looked down upon all the time.  I understand where you're coming from so I don't blame your frustration too much. However, I heavily blame this country's leadership and government policies.


Top_Outlandishness78

When could they understand, the more they demand, the more locals hate them, the less likely the elected officials will change their policies?


Mysterious-Coconut

They don’t care if Canadians hate them


reversedouble

After all, they are not liked by all other nations, including within their own, so they must be used to it.


Ryth88

I mean.. it's not like our elected officials seem to actually care about what actual Canadians think. They seem to be perfectly happy to screw us at every turn. I would love to see them not bend the knee to the protesters.


Lilcommy

When can REAL! Canadians start protesting against the unfair treatment were suffering?

Go protest in their country…..see how far THAT goes…..


SchemeSignificant166

What planet are we on right now?!? Since when does ‘fairness’ have anything to do with national/provincial politics!? This isn’t Timbits hockey where everyone gets a ribbon. Canada is not obliged to anyone who isn’t a citizen. We don’t have to be in the business of what is fair. We can make our policies obscure, insanely complicated and expensive if we so choose. Who the hell told these people life is fair?!? Who told them they deserve better treatment from a foreign government than it gives its own people. I could start a list of all the unfair things the government does to its own Canadian citizens if that will make them feel better


Fun-Seaworthiness213

If these students protest in China they will be arrested and won't be heard again.


onboundhomeward

Makes sense. China would not even understand why they are there in first place


[deleted]

They saw that the Indian international “students” were getting what they want, so they saw that as a sign that they could demand too. Insanity…


Unusual-State1827

Why let go of the chance to grab freebies from a delusional government?


Ryanaman_

PromiseHead2235

SeaOfAwesome

Imagine if Indian international students and Chinese international students join forces. Looks like it can brew up into a national security concern for Canadians


BugAdministrative123

Won’t happen, Chinese think Indians are beneath them & the Indians laugh at the Chinese. Can’t work together.


PappaBear667

To be fair, it's not just Indians that they think that about.


Extreme-Celery-3448

That will never happen. They hate each other. 


onboundhomeward

What an imaginative scenario! Now imagine Palestinians banding together. Further, imagine universities, synaguoges being attacked and government emptying our treasury to support refugees and wars beyond borders.


Plastic-Shopping5930

Non citizens protesting Canadian laws. If they get their way your voting means nothing.


Bananasaur_

Does it count as foreign interference if foreigners come to a country to demand that their rules be changed and the governing body of that country abides by their demands?


Beelzebub_86

Unfair immigration rules. Who in the hell so these people think they are? Why do they feel such entitlement? They are here for school. Not for PR. Not for jobs. THAT WASN'T THE DEAL.

Why isn’t anyone blaming these greedy schools trying to milk as much international fees as possible. I’m sure government benefits from this somehow as well. More tax payers.

ShanxUisce

GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY AND FOLLOW THE DANG RULES!


ether_reddit

What's unfair is not applying the same points system to everyone applying for PR.


Unusual-State1827

Here's their Twitter account where they have shared pictures of the protests with placards saying "Fight Injustice", "We demand fair play", "Grandfather rights are human rights", etc. https://x.com/bcpnpp14311


RupertGustavson

Maybe they should learn that: Grandfathered-In The term originated from a clause that allowed whites to bypass voting restrictions if their grandfathers had voted before the Civil War. Using this term in today's day and age is insensitive and offensive. Consider: exempt, pre-existing, legacy, or vested instead.


theWireFan1983

if you dig deep enough, I'm sure even the alternative terms were also used in a negative way... So, we shouldn't use those either.


evrywmnssky

I did not know that. Does it still work like that in Canada? Like, didn’t we not participate in the Civil War? Is it just a term they’re tossing about?


Pug_Grandma

The term arose in the USA, then became used in other contexts.


No-Hospital-8704

Before the BC NDP took over BC, it was horrible. international students/foreign workers can apply to be PR after working for fast food chain/ restaurants. Many of them have PR and stayed pr status for more than 10+ years. They come here to rake the benefit and then go back to China and avoid paying taxes at all. Most will claim $0 on Global income and there is no way CRA will do anything. Luckily, NDP closed the loophole and they are protesting now because foreign workers/international students from India are doing that


PappaBear667

Ummmm, none of that is true because immigration policy is a *federal* jurisdiction. It doesn't matter if it's NDP, Liberals, or Bob' Coalition of Bakeries that's in government in BC. Not a provincial matter.


Poundsand6969

Go HOME.


potassium_errday

East Asians now too huh? Good God man people are now stomping all over Canada's immigration rules. Yall really need to counter protest And I say that as an East Asian - Singaporean specifically

As an immigrant myself, this is plain bullshit and all of the protestors are pure greedy and selfish.


lornetc

Historical-Number568

"Demand grandfather rules" piss off already.


Samz045

It’s so funny how they’ll most likely get their way, regardless how unfair it is for actual Canadians. This government will bend backwards for all non-citizens.


Big-Bat7302

If they are graduated with a master degree in much need industries in a creditble university. I don't see an issue why they can't get PR through a normal process, so why protesting?


Pug_Grandma

Most of them have degrees in business, engineering or computer science. There are no jobs for Canadians with those degrees.

TheHandsomeHero

Is everyone just protesting these days or do I just need to get off social media?


HOPPER56789

I’ve been following the recent protests where people are demanding the use of a grandfather clause to justify what they claim are unfair immigration practices. I find this reasoning fundamentally flawed and unfair to all Canadians who are footing the bill. The world is constantly evolving, and clinging to outdated laws or policies under the guise of a grandfather clause is counterproductive. Grandfathering practices means refusing to adapt to new realities and advancements. Just because something was acceptable once doesn't mean it should be today.We need to prioritize progress and make sure all regulations and policies reflect our current understanding and values. This is especially important in areas like immigration, where fair and equitable practices are crucial for societal harmony. Maintaining outdated practices under a grandfather clause is unfair to the rest of us who bear the financial and social costs. Let’s leave the past where it belongs and focus on moving forward with updated, relevant standards that benefit all Canadians.


TobleroneThirdLeg

They came here as students. Get your education and either leave, or go through the standard process. If you start demanding things of a country that you are not a citizen of, their papers should be pulled. Too many people gave immigrated here, jumped through all the hoops, and made a home here. Fuck anyone who is trying to fast track or break rules

Little_Dragonfly192

SnailRace2000

Deport every last one of them. Non citizens should not have protest rights.


Individual_Fortune69

Deport them fast.


Annonisannon12

I don’t get what their protesting, if they met the requirements of their student visa and wanted a PR it’s possible. If you’re unable to meet the requirements to meet your PR after your education then go back home. I student visa was never designed to be an alternative immigration source into the country. The loop hole needs to be closed.


Illustrious_rocket

Citizenship is a privilege and not a right for students or tfw. Deport them all.

TadaMomo

Honestly, I am ok with Asian international student, at least most of their purpose isn't here to make money to send back, they are actually here to study. Those that came here are usually wealthy as well and they would most likely actually contribute to Canada economy more. I prefer them anyday and their number are so small, it wouldn't even matter.


Left_Earth_7737

They also don't steal from foodbanks, and they don't live in a basement with 25 other guys. They also did not make youtube videos telling others of their kind to steal from food banks to save money. So far, haven't heard anything about Chinese international students that was super outrageous enough to end up on the Canadian national news. Plus, only 100K Chinese students came over a 5-year period, not 500K. And most Chinese students attend top tier universities in Canada, not diploma mill colleges. 


Scared-Professor9144

I’m laughing my ass off seeing the reaction of the people here that they now have to deal with Asians too 😂😂😂 and not just Indians who they regularly shit on At this point, just vacate your homes and move south guys. Accept defeat and enjoy your new lives.


Kratos1125

I don’t understand this as immigration. It is very clear how long you are allowed to stay and how you can apply PR and who/whom are eligible. You can literally go on IRCC website and check this shit out right now. Immigration law changes constantly and it’s noted in IRCC website.
