They came from other Western countries, where the norms are much closer to Canada's. India is a developing country with a different culture and norms, and everyone wants to escape it because of what a mess it is. Look at how minorities are persecuted, look at the rampant corruption, look at how unclean it is.
China of 90s and 00s (the duration where maximum Chinese immigration happened) was not really upto the western "norms". Iranians and Chinese do not have same culture as British and Scottish Old Growth Canadians.
And even Ukranians do not share same language and culture as Canadians. Eastern europeans have a distinct culture and norms. Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Regina have large proportion of Ukranian population.
So I do not buy the norm and culture part. Skin color may be but these are not the same people or even same culture. The fact they also like to live closely shows they have similar ghetto like behaviour that Iranians, Chinese and Indians have.

Obviously bringing in lower and lower class people from a country with these problems is going to lower the living standards of people in Canada. Look at what a mess a lot of these international students made during Diwali celebrations in Brampton.
I fail to understand why do you claim these conditions to be specific to India? China has similar issue. Iran too. A large part of Africa as well. So should Canada shutdown immigration from these "undersiable" parts of the world? Even if you try to diversify, you will not be able to weed out such situations. And, no, europe with its aging population can not keep on sending its young folks to Canada.
And no once more, it is NOT obvious as why the folks coming specifically from India are the issue, and how come so called "diversifying" going to solve this? In Canada practically ALL communities display ghetto kind of behaviour by sticking close of their fellow ethnic folks.
As far as diwali celebration goes, I can claim how come stanley cup riot is A-okay but one conflict in diwali celebration suddenly breaks the nation.
