‘Alarming trend’ of more international students claiming asylum says supremely useless Trudeau minister

‘Alarming trend’ of more international students claiming asylum: minister

A “growing number” of international students are claiming asylum in order to stay in Canada after being allowed in on student visas, Immigration Minister Marc Miller says, calling it an “alarming trend.”

Speaking to Mercedes Stephenson in an interview that aired Sunday on The West Block, Miller said those claimants are using the international student program as a “backdoor entry into Canada,” often to lower their tuition fees, and that universities and colleges must improve their screening and monitoring practices to weed out bad actors.

He said his department is studying the issue and suggested further reforms to the program were being explored.


They want a new Canada, one that doesn’t include Canadians. Someone has to vote for them after all.

Most Canadians want fewer immigrants in 2025: Nanos survey

A majority of Canadians say the country should accept fewer immigrants in 2025 than it did in 2024, with nearly three-quarters saying immigration should be reduced until housing becomes more affordable, according to a Nanos survey for CTV News.

Two out of three, or 64 per cent, of Canadians surveyed said the country should accept fewer immigrants in 2025 compared to 2024. Meanwhile, about one in four, or 26 per cent, of Canadians said we should let in about the same number of immigrants, while only five per cent said we should accept more.

Jason Kenney blasts Trudeau government’s ‘catastrophic’ mass immigration agenda, accuses Liberals of trying to create a ‘voting bloc’

Jason Kenney, former premier of Alberta and federal immigration minister, said the Trudeau government likely “imagined” it would be “creating a new permanent Liberal voting bloc” by rapidly boosting Canada’s immigration numbers, but instead ended up eroding Canada’s pro-immigration consensus.

Immigration holds up the clearest sign yet that the Liberals have all but given up on governing

There are a few basic expectations of any federal government: secure the border, nurture trade relationships, keep the federal courts running, maintain and uphold national defence, cultivate economic growth and so on. These are the fundamentals – the responsibilities that a federal government is supposed to have in order – so as to earn the trust to take on ambitious secondary projects. Indeed, when alleged sex offenders (and even those found guilty) are set free because of procedural delays stemming from judicial vacancies, the government has no business – or credibility – announcing plans for a national school lunch program.

Now That Canada Has Been Done Irreparable Harm … Trudeau gov’t to further limit number of international students

The federal government will be further limiting the number of international students permitted to enter Canada next year. It’s the government’s latest immigration-related measure to address Canadians’ ongoing housing and affordability concerns.

In 2025, new international student study permits will be reduced by 10 per cent from the 2024 target of 485,000. That will mean 437,000 permits issued next year, with that same target continuing into 2026.

Joel Kotkin: The Liberals’ open immigration policy has failed

For decades, Canada won a deserved reputation as a country with a sensible immigration policy that brought in large numbers of workers, entrepreneurs and innovators. Yet Canada’s current immigration policies do not align with the country’s economic reality or popular opinion.


It fits the Trudeau agenda.

The LPC seek to remake Canada into a balkanized 3rd world shithole they and their crony capitalist welfare cases can exploit at will.

Canada’s Low-Wage Immigration Problem

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program has undercut the nation’s domestic workforce.

Mass immigration has caused a backlash nearly everywhere in the West, erupting in the mid-2010s with Brexit, Donald Trump, and the rise of right-wing parties in Europe. Canada, however, had been an exception.

Immigration to Canada has always been high by the standards of developed countries. There was a national consensus in favor of it until recently. Before the Liberals were elected in 2015, about 250,000 new Canadians were granted permanent residency every year, and about 67 percent of them were high-skilled economic immigrants. Those immigrants were qualified to work and spoke at least English or French competently. But under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the overall number now approaches 450,000 a year, and the proportion of those who are high-skilled has fallen to about 50 percent. Refugees, family-reunification, and other so-called humanitarian forms of immigration have ballooned. And so has the most controversial immigration stream of all: the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.


Trudeau acting on behalf of his Corporate bloodsucker friends and to serve his own agenda flooded Canada with unneeded immigrants from incompatible cultures to depress wages, profit from the ensuing shortages and harvest future ethnic vote blocs. 

The cruel greed of this evil policy has robbed us of our birthright and destroyed our economic and social well being.

Freeland allowing more 30-year mortgages, higher values for insured mortgages

OTTAWA — Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced Monday Canadians will be able to borrow for longer, while also increasing the maximum value for insured mortgages, potentially giving buyers more money in the housing market.

I don’t see this helping many people but I always get a laugh out of Liberals pretending they solved a huge problem while conveniently failing to acknowledge their disastrous immigration policy is responsible.

Immigration Control Is Smart, Not Un-Christian

Demanding that corrupt bureaucrats not dump 20,000 immigrants from the third world into your backyard is not un-Christian.

The current goings-on in Springfield, Ohio, and the surrounding area have captured national media attention. Stories of tens of thousands of immigrants, unceremoniously dumped by the Biden-Harris administration into a sleepy heartland town of barely 60,000, causing traffic accidents, clogging up welfare and social services, devouring the housing market, and leaving native-born American citizens homeless and financially overburdened — to say nothing of the rumors of household pets being feasted upon — have reignited the inexplicably-contentious debate over immigration and border control.

Jamie Sarkonak: Don’t burden the rest of Canada with asylum seekers. Change the rules

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked for an asylum-seeker surge in 2017, and boy did he get it. Well, Ontario and Quebec got most of it. And now, as those provinces struggle to support the weight, the federal government has floated a new solution: just spread it around.

A federal plan under consideration would send about 28,000 asylum seekers to Alberta, 32,500 to British Columbia, 5,000 to Nova Scotia and 4,600 to New Brunswick. The idea is to distribute the burden across the country in proportion to provincial populations. Only, we don’t have any room.

Colby Cosh: Lululemon’s sweetheart deal for temporary foreign workers

Monday’s most interesting non-Post news item came to us from the Investigative Journalism Foundation’s Zak Vescera, who published details of a sweetheart deal that the garment maker Lululemon Athletica squeezed out of the federal government last year. Lululemon is building a new global headquarters in Vancouver, where it originated, and by strategic bullying it got the feds to allow it to bring in 116 high-wage temporary foreign workers (TFWs) without the usual mandatory efforts to hire local Canadians first.

Temporary foreign workers’ class-action suit over Canada’s closed work permits clears hurdle

Migrant workers are one step closer to getting their day in court to challenge part of Canada’s temporary foreign worker program as unconstitutional for restricting them to working only for their sponsoring employers.

On Friday, a Quebec court gave the green light to a class-action lawsuit initiated by a Guatemalan worker, who alleges that the closed work permit system, in place since 1966, was rooted in direct discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin and colour, violating the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

It makes you wonder if Justin or his backers are coaching this behind the scenes.

Little-known program dominates Canada’s massive guest-worker scheme

Douglas Todd: A labour leader is frustrated Canadians know almost nothing about the vast International Mobility Program (IMP). He’s afraid bosses want it that way.

Union leader Mark Olsen is frustrated Canadians know almost nothing about Ottawa’s international mobility program. And he’s afraid company bosses want it that way.

The program is the vast federal guest worker program that now brings by far the most newcomers into Canada — with more than one million in the country now.

It’s also the program that Olsen believes makes it most easy for employers to exploit guest workers, which in turn harms Canadian workers.

Blame the Biden admin for Venezuelan gangs, migrants taking over Aurora, Colorado

How did members of Venezuelan gangs suddenly find themselves in Colorado’s suburbs?

The troubling conclusion: The Biden administration, in partnership with Denver authorities and publicly subsidized NGOs, provided the funding and logistics to place a large number of Venezuelan migrants in Aurora, creating a magnet for crime and gangs.

And, worse, some of the nonprofits involved appear to be profiting handsomely from the situation.

Canadians Support Reduced Temporary Foreign Worker Program: Poll

Canadians support a scale-back of Ottawa’s temporary foreign worker program as concerns about housing and employment opportunities continue to grow, new polling data indicates.

Forty-three percent of Canadians said they support the federal government’s move to reduce the number of temporary foreign workers in the country, a survey from Angus Reid found. While 14 percent of those polled said they were happy with the program as-is, 22 percent said the program should be discontinued in its entirety.
