Calgary is one of the fastest growing tech markets in the whole of North American. Here’s raw data: https://www.cbre.ca/press-releases/toronto-reclaims-number-4-spot-in-cbres-latest-north-american-tech-talent-ranking. Roflmao . It’s not Toronto or Vancouver but to say that it doesn’t have any...

Do you have any data to prove this? Barring the covid years, this was not the case.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. I can speak from only my personal experiences. From my personal experience, Indians who are born in Canada, are extremely successful. I’ve interacted with Indo Canadian Sikhs who are dermatologists, business owners, accountants etc. The ones I’ve spoken...

You made assumptions about the Tamil population in Singapore without even understanding its history. A significant portion of the Tamil population in Singapore are natives and their ancestry can be traced back to the time when Indian traders from Tamil Nadu began settling in Malaysia about 300...

I don’t really understand what people mean by second generation immigrant. It’s a stupid term which makes no sense. Not sure where it originated from. Kids born in Canada to immigrant parents are Canadians. They haven’t immigrated from any other country. I haven’t seen the behaviour you speak...

Here’s the thing. Country caps aren’t racist. In fact, they’re the opposite and actually promote true diversity. Immigrants who see huge numbers of their own people in the host country, will naturally get into a comfort zone and will never feel the need to integrate into a new society. They will...

They are very different things. The ban on religious clothing actually bans public sector from displaying religious symbols while on duty. By placing a ban, it actually infringes on the religious freedoms of individuals in Canada, which is a charter right. Here’s the thing about the charter. It...

A cap on applications based on nationality is not discriminatory at all since it is applied equally for all nationalities and does not ban any nationality from applying. In fact, it’s the opposite. It could be challenged in court but would need a real strong basis to claim discrimination since a...

This happened because the useless clown, Sean Fraser, directed IRCC to waive off screening and checks for visitor visas in order to reduce visitor visa backlogs. This lead to a lot of Indians, who were never supposed to get visitor visas, being granted TRVs, which they misused to gain entry into...

Well, the federal government could very well folllow Quebec. Even the caps imposed by Quebec are not drastic. It’s 25% per nationality. Currently, Canada has no love for India and contrary to what certain people might claim, nothing is going to change in Canada materially if the number of...

Only restaurant managers are eligible for permanent immigration under Canada’s express entry system so I’m not entirely sure if someone serving coffee at Tim Hortons is even eligible for PR. I completely agree with you that the grading system can be tweaked to offer more points to specific...

In the US, if I’m not misraken, the economic immigration programs are always tied to the Employer’s needs and not the country’s needs. While there’s no such thing as an EU wide immigration system, most if not all permanent settlement programs involve you already being present in the country...

How will this “merit based” system be implemented according to you? You will then have to remove the skills based approach which worked very well for Canada all these years and move to a needs based approach, which has a lot of flaws. Turning Canada’s economic immigration system to the ones seen...

Everything I predicted has happened. It’s unfortunate but the consensus on immigration has been permanently damaged by the policies of the Liberals. I’m expecting the conservatives to cut further if home building doesn’t pick up. Pierre Pollievre has promised to cap population growth below home...

Pollievre and his Shadow minister of immigration have already said that they will tie annual levels to housing, infrastructure, jobs, healthcare etc. Making Pollievre accountable for Trudeau’s mess is nonsense. There’s no reason why he should set numbers when he isn’t even the prime minister...
