they see the loopholes that our incompetent government has created and they have abused it if they don’t fulfill our any of the demands there will be a hunger strike to death so we have try to stay here we’ll keep on striking in until our last breath we wouldn’t give up I’m here to speak out against what is happening it’s not even about permanent residency Canada’s reputation for being such a soft country has gone Global it’s very hard to get a job in Canada right now it’s very like you difficult to like secure even an interview it might be a little harder for like the average Canadian to get a job now conoga made $140 million on tuition in the last 16 months and they’re working in a minimum wage in a food restaurant that does not V well for the country establish yourself here you bring your entire family over and then get use of all the social services that Canada offers there’s a couple of colleges that the Globe and Mail investigated and they didn’t even have classrooms in them but they had places to process your immigration file we’re helping new Canadians succeed and shape our country for the better there’s a section of the society which is becoming rich off of these loopholes  the rules were simple you need to work like 6 months then you can apply for your permanent residency rules were changed overnight and we were not even notified we were working in sales sector food sector and we are now not even eligible to apply for nomination right now I am on the streets of Charlotte Town Prince Edward Island now the reason I’m here is because immigrant workers have taken to the streets to protest the expiry of their work permits recent change in the government’s work permit policy has sparked protests over the past week according to the office of immigration the province is prioritizing skilled workers in high demand sectors such as trades and Healthcare individuals working in sales and the service sector may not receive invitations to apply for work permits the people that have been protesting here are on post graduate work permits meaning that they once studied here in Canada and then were permitted to work here for a certain period of time on work permits now we spent the day talking with locals talking with the protesters and just getting a better understanding of what the demands are of the protesters and how the locals feel about the immigrants working here in PEI is it helping the economy is it putting a burden on the economy do the locals care do they not care well we spoke with them we spoke with the protesters and let me show you exactly what they had to say if you would like to support my independent journalism head on over to migrant reports.com we were here long before rules were implemented and the reason we are here is because we demand that we need to be grandfathered as we were unaware that this would have happened this is reason why the protest is here what would you say to people that claim you guys are just here on a temporary work visa you don’t have the right to stay what would you say to those people so I would say to those people why were we deducted the CPP the Canada Pension Plan at the very first paycheck whyever are we deducted the CPP on every paycheck after the first paycheck that we are going to get after 60 years of age education we spend a lot of money to rent as well so we have right to stay here everyone is working everyone is paying tax so everyone has equal and fair rights to show over in this country we are not trying to oppose the government we just trying them to do the fair thing if you think it’s temporary then you tell me one thing so after 6 month you guys you guys just use us right we work for 6 month then you said okay we we cannot give you the pr you need to go out so it’s like use right you just use it for to to get your work done everybody is targeting that all foreign workers are they are trying to live here illegally they are they’re spreading hate messages and this is what we don’t stand for we don’t want nothing for free we just want them to be fair with us from art perspective this looks total discrimination first of all we having a good support from the city people who are living in the charlot town in Prince adal Island the people who are living over here we having a good support from  them there’s a lot of good workers here that are filling jobs and it’s definitely a good thing keeps the economy going and stuff like that but might be a little harder for like the average Canadian to get a job now that we’re putting the run to people who have come here to settle to have make a life for themselves and their family and to enrich our society to put the run to these people is immoral I appreciate what the government might be trying to do but I don’t think that how they did it may have been the best way to do it it it would make more sense to get people that are skilled to fill positions that we like can’t fill rather than like something that like anybody I guess could could get a job doing if you’re going to let the Mexicans or the East Indians or the Asians come here and they’re working in a minimum wage in a food restaurant that does not bold well for the country it was the government that convinced everybody ready to please come because they felt there was a shortage in the workforce that our population was a an aging generations and this is why they open the doors and and now it seems like they’re turning back yeah but I think if you look across the country other jurisdictions have stopped doing this completely or or have followed the lead that we’ve had and then ratcheted back that certain sectors I say last year in Prince Edward Island we nominated 855 people for a PR through Sales and Service the year before that we did roughly the same amount just a little bit less if the industry is doing a relatively good job in terms of retention that should be a significant number to augment augment their labor force uh and to make sure their business is running and and being successful immigration remains an Incredible strength and force for Canada and for the Canadian economy being able to welcome in people from around the world particularly at this time of Labor shortages is good for our country and uh good for the future that we’re building together look International students are a credit to this country Mr Speaker they are the future of this country and they are an asset that is very  lucrative I came to Canada as a foreign student from India many years ago back when this country was a much different and nicer place I’m here to speak out against what is happening as request did we have hidden the identity of the man interviewed in this section of the report this is not the first time he has spoken out and he feels it is necessary to bring awareness to this situation so what exactly is the purpose of so many people coming to Canada on these student visas it is best explained here with this immigration flyer it says that you come here as a student once you establish yourself here you bring your entire family over and then get use of all these social services that Canada offers they see the loopholes that our incompetent government has created and they have abused it Full Throttle but just last month the teachers at Koga College were complaining that these kids are actually illiterate they can’t read right they don’t know basic arithmetic the loopholes here are many such as attending a shady college and not even attending there’s a couple of colleges that the Globe and Mail investigated and they didn’t even have classrooms in them but they had places to process your immigration file some of these colleges are even owned by immigration Consultants While most of us are suffering in this really poor economy there’s a section of the society which is becoming rich off of these loopholes it’s not even about permanent residency Canada’s reputation for being such a soft country has gone Global and everybody knows that the minute you step foot in Canada the odds of you being sent home are almost zero so forget about permanent residency the idea is just to get into Canada and if you have children here they become Canadian citizens Pei was chosen just like the Prairie Provinces came up with very shortsighted policies that allow people to work at restaurants or hotels and things like that and they could just work there for 6 months and then qualify for permanent residence after they get their PR most of them will come back here because this is where they thrive in this corrupt Gotham City we are just seeing the fruits of many years of bad policy we’ve attracted newcomers who bring important skills and the knowhow to create jobs and grow our economy but now the scale of it is so large and now none of our children can find jobs this summer can anyone explain to me why the is so hard to get a job in Toronto many people have immigrated to Canada recently and realized one of the quickest ways to get money and power is to become an immigration agent and you can see these immigration agents online are coaching students on how to apply as refugees and also how to get politically active when 700 students were caught with fraudulent papers the government ordered them to be deported but they started protesting by the airport and they brought in religious music as of to say this is some religious struggle and Canadians who are so scared of their own Shadows just gave in you saw all the politicians come out even pure poly telling these students who came here on a lie that we need workers we need more young people listen we have a worker shortage in Canada we have a demographic problem our population is too old we need 700 young people and there’s one immigration agent in particular who’s been very vocal on social media and he’s Fanning the flames you see kids in Manitoba using this sort of religious messaging around their expiring work permits and they cornered this liberal MP who promised to do everything for them this is the same MP who was just being so mean to Canadians before thank goodness it was the Canadians and the majority of the people in the house saw the value of protecting the health and well-being of Canadians and that the far right was marginalized back then M and this is how he speaks to these students he was cornered here like a rat want you to be able to stay uh in Canada uh we can’t promise you anything other than we will promise to work as hard as we can whether it’s myself or Malia in trying to keep you here in antona and then he asked Mark Miller to extend all their visas they saw what happened in Manitoba the immigration agents are celebrating it online and now they’re protesting all over the country when I came here as a student it was not just to get an education but to put yourself outside your comfort zone and sink or swim even established colleges and universities like cona and kitner have traded in their future and their reputation for short-term gains K stga made $140 million on tuition in the last 16 months you know many International brought in K st’s got like two campuses right they’re like the size of this building you know like they’re not huge colleges 30,000 they brought in in 16 months now we have politicians like Tim Opal saying that the language requirement might go away what has happened what what has happened to our dear country just look at him here with Pier poer speaking Punjabi violent crime Canada they do have the right to stay in Canada until the last day of their visa there’s a reason why the Visas expire because circumstances change and our government has all the authority to make those changes based on new developments in the economy or new circumstances nobody’s promised them anything there’s no combination of words in any language I speak that can get through to a person like Trudeau does he want to be responsible for a country where women are not safe at night or on a bus or in an elevator or on a train this is a reality that all the women in my family experienced in India in crowded situations and now we’re seeing it in Canada if you was born in Pakistan originally from Pakistan you must have been kidnapped by me you been kidnapped by you of course a lot of people are trying to figure out why this immigration rate is so high for 2024 the cap is expected to result in approximately 364,000 approved study permits people new to the country are promised everything in exchange for votes mcan’s magazine they reported on how Mark Miller got a seat he just gave people free Liberal Party memberships to get a seat and this is what they’re doing to the whole country they’re just bringing people and putting them in different writings to flip them whether it’s International students in particular that have uh grown at a rate far beyond uh What uh Canada has been able to absorb if they don’t fulfill our any of the demands there will be a hunger strike to death from 1st of June and anything happened to any health any health issues to any of the Protestant honorable Justin Crudo Mr Mark Miller PR V of Pei honorable Dennis King and economic growth Minister Jen Redman should be held reliable to any loss and sere sere health issues to any of the Protestants affected 1 June thank you we don’t put the run to people so that you and your generation can get a an apartment this is a country of opportunity but it’s not a country where immigrants should get sitting in a McDonald’s or Tim Hortons or any of fast food or a convenience store or a gas station we are paying equal taxes so what what we demand we just demand equal rights we are just not demanding something for free we demand fear you know a snowflake is pretty powerless by itself it’ll just melt the minute it lands in your palm but millions and billions of snowflakes are responsible for the Avalanche I need more snowflakes to speak up we need to cause an  avalanche registered Canadian immigration consultant kir Sierra stated to me via email that post-graduate work permit holders should refrain from engaging
