9:49/10:25 anon is either uninformed or, more likely from his baiting/trolling tactics, a racist liar.

Government gives immigrants nothing. Acceptance is hard. Besides having to prove they can support themselves, prospective immigrants often cannot get their professional credentials recognized.

And besides, the young woman is not an immigrant. She's a student. International students pay massive fees on top of tuition and room and board, and they have to prove they can afford to support themselves before they can come, and they can't work off campus.

It depends on the immigrants and the government. You can't say the government 'gives them nothing'. In Ontario and Quebec most urban centres have tons of programs for immigrants to learn english and learn skills. Those are all available for other canadians as well though.

There are wealthy immigrants and poor ones. There are also immigrants who are foreign workers, they live in canada without any rights, and often under poor working conditions. THey aren't technically immigrants, but they are here.

Recently I read a book about a very special immigration program that virtually never was discussed, and that was the 'domestic servant' immigrant. These people were brought in by the thousands specifically to be the domestic servants of Canada's upper class.

There are lots of bad stories about the immigration system, virtually none of it is about 'our government giving them everything and them laughing about it'. Recently there was a story about mexican immigrants who returned home vowing to start an organization to tell mexicans not to come to canada because worker treatment is so bad. They weren't laughing, and they weren't 'given' anything either.

did you ever check low rental housing accross canada most of the people are immigrants living high off our taxes

I think that says it all that the above poster thinks people in low income housing are 'living it up'. New immigrants get funds to help them get established, much was made of a program like that in northern NB. This has nothing to do with 'sides', just because you seen a specific incident doesn't mean you know what all the circumstances or whether that is widespread or not.

Nobody in affordable housing is 'living it up' and New Brunswick has negligible amounts of immigration. The Provincial nomination program is a joke. A recent study showed that low income levels for new immigrants are 5 times higher than other canadians.

So generalizing an entire sector based on the incidental experience of a few cases, if that, is why they call it 'pre-judice'. Anybody that wants to put the specifics that they are talking about, feel free to do so. The last increase was in 2005 when the liberals added 70 million to reunite immigrant parents, but only half of that went to services. That's less than the credit union is getting.

You can use the food bank just as much as them. That girl is a student who has paid good money to go to school here. She doesn't get anything from the government. So obviously you are wrong. Immigrants that don't start paying their own way live in poverty. So unless you have facts to back up your claim you are just being prejudiced.

5:00 PM where do you buy your KKK hood? In Canada or import it from U.S. Have you burned any cross lately?

first of all i am far from being prejudice
secind someone here just said that student from outside need to prove they are financially capable of surviving before coming here ...so how come they are at the food bank and have to work if they are students

So, the Immigrant Investor deposits $120,000 CDN. (Approx. $75,000 US), borrows the remaining of the $280,000 CDN and nothing is paid back at the end of the term.

Blind ideology now governs RCMP hiring policy which blatantly discriminates against white males. The ideology states that the Mounties must accurately reflect the ever changing population makeup, whether or not there are qualified or interested applicants. Further, if diverse groups don't end up with similar scores on a test, it must be a result of some sort of built-in bias. Thus, "the RCMP entrance exam is being rewritten after some aboriginals and other visible minorities scored lower than other potential recruits, says a report on federal employment equity. 'Aboriginal applicants to the RCMP tend to have significantly less formal education than applicants from other groups,' the report says. 'For some visible minorities there are also likely second-language issues in addition to educational ones.' ... The report cited concerns over subtests involving written composition, logic and computation." (Toronto Star, January 5, 1997) Aboriginal and visible minority applicants scored less well than others in logic, composition and computation. In a word, they are less qualified.
