Too many people are taking advantage of our country and I don’t think many people know how to report it. Overstaying is a crime! Working illegally is a crime! Violating housing rules is a crime!

Let’s help get rid of crime in this country.

    Yeah, people wouldn’t be coming and staying if there wasn’t anything for them to go to.

    We’ve also been putting lots of roadblocks for immigrants that make it hard to do it legally. When you’re desperate, people turn to doing it the illegal way.

    It would take me 4 years to legally bring my wife home, through marriage. It already took us over 2 years to get me in the US with her. We want things to work out fine long term so we’re doing everything proper, but I definitely understand why people decide to opt out. We might as well not allow immigrants in since it’s so difficult to get in.

    The whole thing is a manufactured problem anyway. We’re sitting on brand new homes for years that go unsold because the developers are greedy and try to sell them for way too much. There’s still big worker shortages in many sectors, shops closed because there’s nobody to run it.

      90% of the people in my department are Indians. They have social groups where they tell each other how to break the law. It’s not about surviving it’s about pretending you’re a big shot back home by being international and worldly.

      I’ve had people offer me $50k to marry one of their relatives or to lend me money to buy a house in my name and then transfer the deed. Yes I reported them both. They clearly don’t need help to survive.

      Or how about those guys exploiting Brampton food banks with thousands of dollars in their accounts and posting on Instagram in Hindi about how to get “free food” in Canada?
