00:00:00.040 Did you know there's an ICE office in this Calgary building?
00:00:03.820 It's one of five Canadian cities that houses U.S. immigration and customs enforcement officers.
00:00:08.720 The number of people being deported from Canada is at its highest level in more than a decade.
00:00:12.880 According to the Canada Border Services Agency, more than 18,000 people were deported from Canada in 2024.
00:00:20.460 That is the highest number of people since 2012.
00:00:23.540 Our concern is that this increase we're seeing now might actually be a ramp up to increasing deportations
00:00:28.780 if that bill is passed.
00:00:30.200 Not all deportees came as asylum seekers.
00:00:33.180 Some came as foreign workers and international students, only to see the rules get tighter.
00:00:37.880 Nobody is illegal on stolen land.
00:00:41.160 Let them in. Let them in. Let them in. Let them in. Let them in.
00:00:46.320 Who in the hell is ringing my doorbell at 2 p.m. on a Wednesday?
00:00:50.060 Good afternoon, miss. You've been supporting open immigration,
00:00:52.460 and we were hoping we could house Abdul and his beautiful family here for a while.
00:00:55.560 Well, the deportations have officially begun in Canada,
00:01:08.560 and this comes at a time when most Canadians agree
00:01:11.160 that the number of people coming into the country was out of control 1.00
00:01:14.700 and needed to be reduced drastically.
00:01:17.660 During the 10 years of Trudeau's liberal government,
00:01:20.940 Canada brought in millions and millions of people in a very short time,
00:01:26.360 a move that has put an incredible amount of pressure in our hospitals and public services.
00:01:31.900 It has also contributed to the biggest food ban crisis Canada has ever faced.
00:01:37.480 What is now viewed by many as an effort to import future liberal voters from India
00:01:43.300 has also been revealed to be plagued by corruption and document fraud
00:01:48.640 as hundreds of thousands of fake diplomas and other credentials were confiscated in a recent arrest.
00:01:56.220 Imagine if you were Indian, and you were living in the hellhole that is India, 1.00
00:02:01.920 and you realized that America had allowed a situation to develop
00:02:05.260 where you could buy a degree for $1,000, get yourself into the H-1B pipeline,
00:02:11.140 and find yourself living in pristine first world America.
00:02:16.420 Why exactly wouldn't you do that?
00:02:20.500 Nobody hates living in India like Indians do. 1.00
00:02:23.340 That's why they fight so desperately not to be sent back.
00:02:26.700 Nobody wants to live in that hellhole.
00:02:29.780 So every incentive they have is to defraud the system.
00:02:35.360 I'm convinced if we had a Doge-type committee that would review carefully
00:02:41.680 every visa application from India,
00:02:45.480 every green card application from India,
00:02:47.980 every citizen naturalization application from India,
00:02:51.200 we would find there's not one in 10,000 that's completely lacking in fraud,
00:02:57.360 as the law requires.
00:02:59.760 I have no doubt that if we were to actually carefully look at every Indian, 0.74
00:03:04.340 even the naturalized citizens,
00:03:06.280 in America today,
00:03:08.160 virtually every single one of them would be subject to deportation
00:03:11.480 for having committed fraud
00:03:13.400 in the process of gaining access to our nation.
00:03:16.600 This is exactly what happens when you let ideology run the country
00:03:30.340 instead of enforcement.
00:03:32.340 For years, the liberal government opened the floodgates,
00:03:36.200 and now we're finding out that thousands of student applications
00:03:39.880 were built on fake acceptance letters.
00:03:42.380 Not a couple of letters, either.
00:03:45.400 Over 1,500 flagged.
00:03:48.260 Over 2,000 of them reviewed.
00:03:51.340 Entire diploma mills. 0.57
00:03:53.880 Illegal activity from overseas charging people $25,000 for forged documents.
00:04:00.840 And apparently nobody here caught it?
00:04:03.120 I mean, come on.
00:04:04.880 This isn't some minor paperwork error.
00:04:07.260 This is a government failing at enforcing the law.
00:04:11.280 Or worse, didn't want to enforce it at all.
00:04:14.740 Now suddenly there's a task force.
00:04:17.240 Suddenly IRCC and CBSA are verifying letters directly.
00:04:22.680 And there's a cap on permits.
00:04:25.180 But why?
00:04:26.500 Because the government got exposed,
00:04:28.740 and Canadians are paying attention now.
00:04:31.060 We have to recognize the human toll on these individuals.
00:04:34.840 A lot of them have put their life savings in coming into Canada.
00:04:39.460 Immigration lawyer Mario Bellissimo says for people who came to Canada to study,
00:04:44.880 the Ontario Immigration Nominee Program was promoted as a path to permanent residence.
00:04:50.640 In November, the provincial government suddenly paused the skills trade immigration stream.
00:04:55.320 After identifying systematic misrepresentation and fraud,
00:05:00.620 affecting the ability to determine whether applicants meet eligibility criteria.
00:05:06.000 Now you have this massive number of individuals that really don't have a pathway
00:05:10.900 and thought their future was in Canada.
00:05:13.660 So it's creating a lot of stress on the system,
00:05:16.560 a lot of questions about integrity,
00:05:19.460 of why we rolled out a program in this way.
00:05:22.500 Tool and dye maker Koljinder Singh was invited by the province to apply to the program,
00:05:28.740 which nominates people who have skills and experience needed in the Ontario economy
00:05:33.500 to the federal government for permanent residence.
00:05:36.960 There's families and lives behind those five numbers.
00:05:40.900 Last fall, after waiting almost two years,
00:05:43.960 Singh's application was returned without a decision after the program was suspended.
00:05:48.500 My applications and with other hundreds of applications were returned,
00:05:54.460 stating that the skill trade stream under OANP has been suspended
00:06:00.360 as they have found some fraud in the system
00:06:03.860 and they want to protect the integrity of the system.
00:06:08.660 Singh says Ontario needs workers like him,
00:06:11.640 noting that many skilled laborers at his company are nearing retirement age.
00:06:15.580 The years-long delay in processing his application
00:06:18.720 means he may not find an alternative stream to re-enter
00:06:22.400 before his work visa expires in July.
00:06:25.860 If it would happen a year ago to me,
00:06:28.360 I would have easily gone into the other system
00:06:31.180 and it would be easier for me at that point.
00:06:35.700 But now the economy, the tariffs and everything,
00:06:38.580 manufacturing is really hit by the tariffs.
00:06:41.220 Now Singh and all the other skilled trade applicants
00:06:43.960 must find another path to permanent residency
00:06:46.620 before their work visas expire.
00:06:49.220 For years here in Canada,
00:06:50.780 we've been told that compassion means never saying no,
00:06:54.660 that enforcing immigration law somehow makes you heartless,
00:06:58.520 and that questioning record numbers
00:07:00.720 makes you anti-immigrant, apparently.
00:07:04.000 But what about compassion for young Canadians
00:07:06.660 who can't even find a part-time job in their own country?
00:07:10.000 What about the high school and college students
00:07:12.880 sending out dozens of resumes and hearing nothing back,
00:07:16.220 while millions of temporary foreign workers
00:07:18.680 and international students flood the same job market?
00:07:22.260 We now have some of the highest youth unemployment rates
00:07:25.580 in modern Canadian history.
00:07:28.300 And somehow, we're still told that the problem is a labor shortage.
00:07:32.880 Compassion is not the same thing as chaos,
00:07:35.200 and it's not compassionate to young Canadians
00:07:38.200 to import unlimited labor
00:07:40.140 while their own opportunities disappear.
00:07:43.620 A country can welcome newcomers and still enforce limits. 1.00
00:07:48.080 It can be generous without being reckless,
00:07:50.780 and it can protect its future generations
00:07:53.120 instead of sacrificing them for political optics.
00:07:56.920 Because if your policies leave your own youth
00:07:59.960 locked out of jobs, housing, and opportunity,
00:08:03.220 that's not compassion.
00:08:05.620 That's irresponsibility dressed up as virtue.
00:08:09.220 You've raised concerns over BEC-12.
00:08:11.700 That bill would allow Cabinet
00:08:13.140 to cancel several immigration documents
00:08:14.900 if the government believes
00:08:16.120 it's in the, quote, public interest to do that.
00:08:19.020 That bill, as we know, is currently in the Senate.
00:08:20.900 How could that legislation affect the numbers
00:08:22.940 that we're seeing?
00:08:24.900 Absolutely.
00:08:25.500 We could see an increase even further,
00:08:27.580 and our concern is that this increase we're seeing now
00:08:30.080 might actually be a ramp-up to increasing deportations
00:08:32.220 if that bill is passed.
00:08:34.380 So one of the essential elements of that bill
00:08:37.100 is that it's going to permanently ban a lot of people
00:08:39.520 from being able to make a refugee claim in Canada.
00:08:42.160 Instead, they're going to get a written process
00:08:44.240 without the right to a hearing,
00:08:46.920 and if that written claim is refused,
00:08:50.020 there's no right of appeal.
00:08:51.280 Instead, all they can do is ask a federal court judge
00:08:53.600 to review the decision,
00:08:55.160 and they don't have an automatic stay of deportation
00:08:58.440 while that review takes place.
00:08:59.860 So they can be deported 0.83
00:09:00.880 even while a judge is reviewing the decision.
00:09:03.480 So our concern is that they're ramping up.
00:09:05.700 So basically, someone makes a claim,
00:09:07.940 they're found not to be eligible,
00:09:09.440 so they're put into this written process instead,
00:09:11.960 and then they might see a swift refusal of their claim
00:09:15.120 and then be swiftly put into deportation proceedings
00:09:18.080 before that judicial process can play out.
00:09:20.580 So that is a significant concern for us.
00:09:23.340 Also, with the government giving itself
00:09:24.860 the ability to cancel immigration documents,
00:09:27.340 and there's very little in there
00:09:28.720 about limiting the scope
00:09:30.920 of when they would be able to use that,
00:09:32.660 we could see people whose immigration documents
00:09:34.780 are canceled being put into removal proceedings as well.
00:09:38.320 So the reality in Canada for most Canadians,
00:09:40.940 especially those who lean conservative,
00:09:42.580 but even the average person
00:09:44.460 who may not be political at all,
00:09:46.820 is that the state of immigration in Canada
00:09:49.860 is just a net negative to society
00:09:52.240 at this point in time.
00:09:54.020 There are way too many people who are not adapting.
00:09:57.300 They're not contributing.
00:09:58.720 They're only here taking
00:09:59.840 and trying to turn Canada into the shitholes 0.79
00:10:02.320 that they left behind.
00:10:04.240 And Canadians have had enough.
00:10:06.140 What do you guys think?
00:10:07.140 Let me know in the comments.
00:10:08.280 Is this a good thing to hear?
00:10:09.920 Should the numbers be jacked way up?
00:10:11.940 I think so.
00:10:13.040 I think they should be deporting a lot more people,
00:10:15.620 especially considering the fact
00:10:16.880 that there are over 5 million people
00:10:18.680 with expired status.
00:10:20.020 in Canada.
00:10:20.920 There are just way too many of them.
00:10:22.840 Well, let me know what you think in the comments.
