    Maybe not on here, but it is typical that is the problem I encounter with people who are vocally against immigrants. My experiences being my experiences(my algorithms online)

    I didn’t read through most of the comments before I felt like commenting, for whatever that’s worth if anything

    I don’t know that I would agree that newcomers are necessarily getting screwed, not anymore than anyone else anyway. And I think that’s why I have worked with so many. (Corporate greeeeeed)

    Most of the people I work with still are better off than where that came from, it’s still a better life for them comparatively, and like I mentioned, they often have skills(opinions, preferences, familiarity etc) that allow them to utilize their situation to make them happier than non immigrants typically find.

    Against my experience, I don’t mean to sorry for everyone else, but I do have first hand experience in this place so I feel comfortable offering an opinion

      Agreed, I think they’re getting the same lousy experience the rest of us are: food and housing are expensive, the job market can be tough.

      Thanks for posting. It’s good to see that many immigrants are still finding Canada to be preferable to their home.
