If one isn’t here legally, and making no attempt to stay here legally, I see no problem here. You came on a visa, you leave when it is up. You want to stay their is a way to do it and I do not care how hard it is. Everyone I know who immigrated here went through that system and every selfish prick trying to take the back door can get thrown back out it.

Recently spent 100 hours on PR paperwork for my gf, these entitled pricks can shove it

My wife/kids just got their PR cards in the mail. It took just shy of a year from the time we arrived in Canada to get it done. It was not cheap but it was not that complicated for us. Everyone’s experience is unique, but I found the government services workers very friendly and eager to help.
When we have articles about how highschool and university students can’t find jobs and construction companies are laying people off, I’d like to know what labour shortages we have outside of healthcare.

It never goes into detail about the jobs they can’t find… what is the barrier they are dealing with? Experience? Expectations too high?
Anecdotal i know but… my brother in law is on the job hunt and there’s loads of potential employers calling him back for construction work, entry level jobs in garages, hotels looking to staff up in the summer, etc. He’s working on getting his work permit sorted so he’s not able to take the job offers yet… certainly seeing a lot though.

They are proposing ‘tent style towns’ to house these people in my city. Something is going to break and break really really bad. I see a future where I will actually need to lock my house doors sooner then later.

Wait where do you live where you don’t have to lock your door

Paywalled for me so I will assume this is the students claiming they are entitled to stay?
Those visas very clearly state when you have to leave Canada so I don’t see the problem here
