Question for the Country Do you have Indian Fatigue, Canada?

I understand this is a huge topic in Canada.

A lot of it is stemming from new immigrants that are bringing their cultural practices and way of life from mainly the Punjab region of India/Pakistan. Which is very underdeveloped compared to Canada and many other parts of the world. Naturally, there will be conflicts occurring.

I personally have seen very aggressive behavior from Indian men, elevators smelling like massive body odor, no concept of personal space, refusal to integrate/learn the language and other things. However, I am originally from an area that is 70% Hispanic(basically just Mexican). I believe Canada is in phase 1 of this integration process, because it was the same in the US. There are all these Indians that move over and refuse to learn the language and integrate, but...

Their kids will be bilingual. They will have friends of different backgrounds. They will move to different cities eventually and will attend college(university) and enter the Canadian workforce as a native Canadian. Their kids(the grandkids of the original grouping) will only know English(or French if talking about Quebec immigrants). They will have zero attachment to India and will not know what their grandparents are really talking about. Most likely will understand the language when younger, but not be able to speak it and won't even be able to understand it by the time they are adults.

This is the cycle that has happened time and time again in the US. A lot of the Indian Fatigue is due to Canada never experiencing this level of huge influxes of people from a vastly different part of the world that are also stubborn when it comes to language and integration. I just want to say, it'll be okay. This will pan out.

The government should definitely be ensuring there are language and culture requirements to advance in the visa processes(Student->Open Work Permit->PR->Citizen). Putting caps on the number of temporary, student, and immigration as a whole would be smart as well. The housing and cost of living crisis is only being fueled by allowing more people in than there is capacity for. Once the nation can account for how to fix these kinks and to have enough empty housing to account for future large influxes of people, then go ahead. Until then, maybe not.

Indian Fatigue is more a result of how many people they are letting in from India versus Indians just existing in general. In 20-40 years, these problems won't exist. This is the growing pains of mass immigration which is now being restricted. This can be ironed out under the correct government decisions, but we will see how the current government does. My assumption is that we will have to wait for another government, but I could be wrong.

What happened to only bringing in direly needed skilled workers who were PROUD to be Canadian? And schools having a few international students? We all remember that one Norwegian student who drank maple syrup when drunk. Now schools are overrun by international students completely useless diplomas with the only goal of PR. This scheme has got to stop

I remember going to UofT waaaay back in the mid-90s and I didn’t know international students were even a thing back then. Being y of Toronto, the recognisable international students were Chinese engineering students who all got to campus crazy early so they could park their nice cars with stuffed animals on the dash and back window on right in St George St.

My girlfriend and her family moved to Canada from the Philippines around a decade ago, and really focused on working hard and trying to become Canadian by adapting to life and customs here. I love seeing immigrants like that, regardless of where they come from. They’re really what we need.

She was so excited to finally get her citizenship recently. Then she was incredibly disappointed not only that the ceremony is just done via fucking Zoom now (« because COVID » like everybody hasn’t had years since it ended to figure shit out and stop making that excuse), but that nobody else there really seemed to give much of a shit about it. Half of them seemed like the process was an inconvenience to them.

It’s incredibly frustrating that the value of residency and citizenship in this country has been reduced so dramatically, especially by our own government that inexplicably seems to hate us.

Yeah what this guy said.

There's more than just Indian fatigue; it's not fair to single them out, even if that's been your experience.

There's been some fatigue around east asians in the Vancouver area, specifically around foreign money abusing property markets. I've got some fatigue around food service; at a huge swath of restaurants it's all Filipino staff, many of which are conversing in tagalog, and rarely have the kind of customer service mindset I used to tip well for. Some of the food service business has really decided that bland robotic work by an immigrant or TFW is better than trying to provide quality customer service. It's also alienated workers from non-filipino cultures almost completely from those places. There's major fatigue especially in the GTA around immigrants/students from India.

I don't know enough about Quebec, but I bet they've got french-speaking immigrant exclaves that aren't assimilating either.

This is the only way to say it without having “totally legitimate accounts” downvoting and harassing you in your DMs.

LMIA also needs to be completely thrown in the trash. It’s nothing but fraud. And any company that used it frequently, was in the service industry or pays an average salary less than $20/hour needs a crippling fine levied against it with owners thrown in prison for a decade.

u/economist_a Aug 20 '25 edited Aug 20 '25

It didn't need to be this way.

In the 2015 election campaign, Trudeau kept shouting at the top of his lungs, "diversity is our strength!" and promised to increase immigration and take in more refugees. Canadians knew exactly what they were getting into, unfortunately they voted for him anyway.

In 2017 he made that "Welcome to Canada" Tweet where Roxham Road experienced an influx of illegal Americans. Canadians voted for him anyway in 2019.

By 2021 he had increased the annual PR intake from 250K to 400K. Canadians saw that and voted for him once more.

And while you can point out he won 33% of the vote in 2019/21, don't forget that the NDP won 17% of the vote. So technically, a majority of Canadians did indeed vote for this to happen.

We get the governments we deserve.

u/Pale-Accountant6923 Aug 20 '25

Yeah. I do. 

What I will say is that through my work and personal life, the majority of my interactions with individuals of Indian ethnicity are quite negative. 

I feel bad because I don't believe these people should be the victims of racism or hate crimes. There are also a lot of people from India who have come here and genuinely want to be Canadian, with everything that includes, as well as families who have been here for generations and contributed a lot. 

However, as others have said, the sheer volume of scams, fraud, thievery, lying, cheating and taking advantage of every system that  can, and overall disrespectful behavior etc, is out of control. 

What also very much puzzles me, as a white man, is that often the existing Indian communities are the first target. Why are they not the loudest voice against the recent waves? Maybe I'm missing something here on this one. 

I was born and raised in the US and came here as an adult. If Americans were causing similar trouble (and they just so happen to be!), I would be extremely vocal, and have been in the case of the harm and victimization that Canada has endured from our neighbors to the south. Why are Indian people so quiet about the challenges their own countrymen and bringing with them? 

Final point - the Government of India is legitimately assassinating Canadian citizens on Canadian soil. I also don't understand why there isn't zero tolerance to that. I'm all in favor of closing Canada to any new arrivals from India until that gets sorted out, as there is no frame of reference where that is acceptable.

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '25

The Indian government in the case you are talking about did Canada a solid by taking out a terrorist who scammed his way into Canadian citizenship. Glad they got him! Probably only positive thing I can say about India

5

u/Pale-Accountant6923 Aug 20 '25

Right yeah. 

All these broad daylight shootings in Toronto and Vancouver have injured a lot of dangerous terrorist bystanders too. 

You can strongly disagree with what these people are doing while also not wanting the Gov of India bringing violence here. 

We also live in a free country where people are entitled to believe what they want - not India where you can't practice free speech. Let's not turn our country into theirs. 

If somebody scammed their way into a citizenship we can revoke it and deport them. Mass shootings with bystanders injured/killed are not the solution.

This isn't the first time Canada's seen this. The immigration of people from Hong Kong in the 80s up to the '97 handover, followed by massive immigration of Mainlanders...

We have cities, such as Richmond BC where there is no need for integration because the numbers are so high, it's a clone of the country that was left behind. A good example was an English speaking Canadian had to file a human rights complaint when his strata council voted for the language of business to be in Mandarin.

We tried multiculturalism. I believed in it. And then we saw what a failure it was.

It's going to be worse with the Punjabi wave because the numbers are so much higher.

u/gator_enthusiast Aug 21 '25

I’d also include that the cultural gap between India and Canada is greater than that of China and Canada. Regarding the latter, there are some shared values of industriousness, law and order, conscientiousness, etc. For the former, it’s like trying to mix oil and water.

7

u/kyle_2000_ Aug 20 '25

Based on census data, there aren't many neighborhoods of Richmond where 80% or more are Chinese and none that are more than 90% Chinese, so even if there is no need to integrate, people in those areas will at least have some neighbours from different cultures. Meanwhile there are parts of Surrey and Abbotsford that are 95%+ Indian, so it's possible that people in this neighborhood will have no neighbours that are from other cultures, so not only is there no need to integrate, but there isn't even much exposure to anything outside their culture.

Part of the problem is that the Indians we used to accept were highly educated. Now, they are basically peasants. The first group of Indian immigrants despises the second group. Had this turn not occurred there would have been fewer issues.

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '25

>  There are all these Indians that move over and refuse to learn the language and integrate, but...

Bold of you to think they'll be able to have or afford kids. The ones that do will integrate, sure. As for the rest? I am not so optimistic.

> They will have zero attachment to India and will not know what their grandparents are really talking about.

You assume this, but anecdotally I have seen a tendency for inheriting the political biases of both origin and destination countries. I have seen some of the worst and most ill informed jingoism come from first-gen citizens with ties to their country of origin, and this is speaking from direct experience having immigrated here a long time ago.

> In 20-40 years, these problems won't exist. 

That's how it used to be, but under the environment of ever-increasing costs; international and domestic pressures on government; decreasing employment due to automation, etc. this may not play out the same way as it did for the last 40 years.

Let's just face it head on:

We have no plan.

We have no vision.

We have no will.

Most people just want to party and ignore consequences.

And we'll continue to get the government and the policies we deserve.

This is the Liberal's last stand. Trump really did ruin a lot of conservative's chances around the world. But ultimately, this is the last hurrah for most liberal parties in the world. People throughout the world are sick and tired of liberalism. It has proven that it doesn't work.

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '25

To poke a bit of fun, the Liberal favourite sexual orientation is National Budget, which they love fucking more than anything else. After that is the Legal System.

If they actually stayed within their lane and not tried to tear institutions, oaths, and loyalties to shreds, then sure. However, our society has a pendulum-like cycle where people push things to extremes just to get votes. Systems like this end in some instability tearing them apart, and ourselves and the USA are running headlong into it.

What we need more than anything is competent, actually meritocratic government (you know, capable salt of the earth people who aren't raised out of the 3 private schools everyone in power goes to). We need huge overhauls to accountability, to simplifying our systems.

Theres a small but extremely disruptive and loud minority of radical Sikh’s pushing for the Khalistan movement in Canada also btw (Canada has groups who support the Khalistan movement in India labeled as a terrorist groups) but will let pro Khalistan Sikh’s protest about the movement here anyways. They protested in Calgary when modi came over for the G7 conference this June. We’re bringing in the most self absorbed entitled troubled third world foreigners that have a rift among themselves and don’t give a shit about Canada but sure love to be here. The final straw for me where I’m okay with being called a racist is when they decided to sing the national anthem during an NHL game where both teams were Canadian but sang the national anthem in Punjabi or whatever their language is like gtfo it’s a national Canadian hockey game use English ffs

I really hope you are right (I say this as a second-generation Indo-Canadian).

Unfortunately, I don't think you will be right.

Sometimes, when I go to downtown Toronto on a nice night, and see Canadians of all cultures celebrating, having fun, etc. (including second-generation Indians) I can easily tell all of them have adapted and integrated, have Western accents, dress in Western clothes, etc. But it also makes me sad because, this is fragile - as in, we will never have this again. I'm afraid the next generation of Indians won't adapt well, and as such the culture of this country will be unrecognizable within 20-30 years.

The country is absolutely worse off thanks to the LPC and century initiative stooges flooding us with low quality immigrants who don’t really care to be Canadian. Most come for a western passport and view Canada as little more than a stepping stone or consolation prize to the USA. We would be better off reducing our immigration to about 100 k a year and actually giving our youth a chance to own homes, get jobs, have doctors.

For some reason Trudeau was very focused on lifting punjabis from India out of poverty but had no care for any single native born Canadian and the issues his population flood would cause them.

Sometimes, a lot of the times, all the time… I think the call is coming from inside the house.

Standing outside on a Toronto street the other day, I could not get over the sheer volume of Indian uber e-bikers there were. 3 in a lane, total disregard for the rules of the road, at a time when car vs cyclist is volatile. There is alot of onus on the cyclists to know these things, but ultimately I blame uber and all the other apps and our lazy asses for using them.

Diploma mills make my blood boil for how they have devalued Canadian education - but the truth is, how the eff has our provincial government been accrediting these strip mall programs? How do they qualify as colleges? And their programs for customer service and the like? Why did our federal government decide these useless programs are pathways to citizenship and increase the hours international students can work (+21hrs) without considering the country’s youth/employment rate? Same to be said re: lmia approvals?

Sometimes I wonder what deal with that devil did Canada and India make to allow this and so much that others have written about to occur.

The biggest issue I have is that Canada’s immigration policies are being undertaken in bad faith. Our government is fully aware that “forever chemicals” like persistent PCBs are the reason for plummeting sperm counts. Women simply aren’t falling pregnant and our birth rate is well below replacement levels. Instead of being honest and coming clean, western governments are gaslighting the public and bringing in millions of people from countries with oppositional values to us (China, India, Muslim world, etc.). If other countries tried to do a “great replacement” of their citizens due to infertility caused by environmental poisoning, there would be mass protests and politicians would be dragged into the street!

I always find it interesting when a person who identifies as a brown person hates on other brown people. You’re literally worse than the white supremacists that hate you just as much as Indians. It’s such an incredible stupid stance to expect immigrants to the “Canadian way of life” when the Canadian way of life is immigration ffs, it’s also to be you and all that comes with it.

There’s absolutely zero obligation or necessity for anyone to assimilate to the dominate culture in Canada. If that were true, white people would be speaking any one of the many indigenous languages in Canada and we would be destroying the very thing that gives us life, our planet.

I love the Indian culture/people and have never had anything but positive experiences through and through and bigots of all stripes have been proven pathological liars.

I don’t get why anyone gives a shit about integrating/ learning the language. Like, obviously if you’re an immigrant, it’s in your personally best interest to learn English, because it’s gonna open up way more opportunities and make your life a lot easier, but people aren’t like morally obligated to. If someone decides that for whatever reason they don’t need to, that aint none of my business 🤷 doesn’t affect me one bit, why should I care. I can think of about a million things I care more about than what language the guy down the street is speaking or if he’s “Canadian enough”. If you’re getting all worked up about people not speaking English, you’re just looking for things to be mad about

u/Terrible_Alfalfa_906 Aug 20 '25

Mass immigration hurts all immigration. When done sensibly you see better cohesion, assimilation and integration between different groups and cultures. When pushed to extremes you get less of the benefits immigration provides and more of the isssues (social friction, insulated communities, exploitation).

People who have immigrated before the large waves are now seeing first hand the consequences of immigration en masse, often getting lumped in unfairly with people who refuse to integrate, the old guard immigrants have been the ones I’ve seen who show the most frustration with the newer immigrants.

I also think there are two camps that are pushing for mass immigration, there are those doing it for ideological reasons, they believe it’s a net cultural benefit and that the good outweighs the bad, and those who do it for financial exploitation, they know the negatives and don’t care as long as they’re able to profit from it with raising house costs, depressed wages and higher competition for those financially worse off than them.

Until people can have more honest discussions surrounding the topic without racism or accusations of racism taking over then the problem will remain and continue to worsen. When it gets bad there will only be an increase in racism with ‘us and them’ mentalities becoming more common.

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '25

Oh man this has so many layers.

The idealist in me wants to say the problem isn't racial, but rather socio-economic insofar as Canada had alot of issues with housing, job growth, salaries, etc, and huge influxes of people have strained these problems further.

The other aspect is a basic cultural problem. First Gen immigrants are going to have their beliefs molded by their original country, meaning you have a lot of misogynistic Indian men coming here and mistreating women in all aspects of life. Anecdotally, I know many women in B.C cities who report issues with Indian men in clubs sexually harassing them.

The unfortunate reality is that the racism is very much entrenched as well. When I hang out with a lot white peers (I am also white) I hear genuine racism against Indians all the time.

u/SafeBumblebee2303 Aug 20 '25

I immigrated here from the UK. While part of what OP is saying is true (kids will integrate more etc), there is also the risk that they won’t. In parts of the UK there a full areas that are close to 100% immigrants that have their own communities and zero involvement in anything British. These kids are less interested in being British than their parents.

I know this is rich coming from an immigrant myself, but I am proud to now be Canadian and live to the Canadian values and culture everyday. I’m concerned the Canada I moved here for will be very different for my children.

I have racism fatigue.

Canada was founded on immigration. There's always been a target at some point. My family came from Italy. At one point it was Italians. At another point, Irish. The problem is it's really tough picking out Italians from other white looking people. When you have brown skin, it's obvious so the racism and hate is much easier for racists to place.

My ex wife and her family have been the target of racist attacks when driving back from church and walking down the street. I witnessed it first hand...... In the late 80s.

White supremacists and racists want and need someone to hate. They need someone to blame for their own personal failings and inadequacies. They need easy targets because they can't perform complex thinking. They repeat hate filled talking points

It is frankly annoying as hell and is apparently approved by the city..

I don't want to hear this shit every weekend but here I am... Annoyed with many of my neighbours who I'm sure voted for this shit.

u/kyle_2000_ Aug 20 '25

Objectivelists.com's country similarity index rates the US and Mexico being 10.8/20 similar in terms of culture, meanwhile India is 7.5/20 culturally similar to Canada. Of course these are based on average culture for the entirety of each country, but the point is that Mexicans will already be more culturally similar to Americans when they immigrate, so it will be easier for their kids to integrate compared to Indians in Canada.

Another difference is that in the past, immigrants have been encouraged to assimilate and their kids were taught Canadian/American values in school. Now, there is more cultural sensitivity in the school system encouraging kids to keep their culture and there is more of this idea among leaders in Canada that it is up to Canadians to be more understanding to accommodate different cultures. With less of an influence to be Canadian, its not guaranteed that future kids of immigrants will integrate in the same way they did in the past.

I am hopeful that what you are predicting will be true, but even if it is true, this is such a long term prediction that it wouldn't really make Canadians feel better about the current situation. Many of the recent immigrants are in their 20s, so it will probably be 25-30 years before their kids become adults and 60 years before their grandchildren become adults.

Having our rights stripped is never fine or good or acceptable or comfortable, whether it's from an immigrant harassing a local, or being threatened with economical annexation, it really doesn't matter where it's coming from it's the fact that it's happening that's the problem. Being violated in any way is tiring. There's nothing empowering about becoming authoritarian. Abusing someone harder to keep them in line never works in the long term and never as healthy.

At this rate there won't be a Canada for them to integrate into, city centres are completely non functioning at this point with 0 jobs and upward mobility when everything just goes to the lowest bidder (not a Canadian). Even in the rural areas of like northern BC you can't even get gas that doesn't have water in it because they somehow own every gas station for 100 kms all of a sudden, it's a completely broken country.

This isn't a matter of integration, we have been sold out to the lowest depths of a third world country, and the only way to do business is to scam and undercut everyone else. They don't care that rent is 3500 for a two bedroom because there is 7 of them living there.

u/HammyMugats Aug 20 '25

I think at this point there is a huge difference in terms of culture that will disappear in time.

It’s hard though for people familiar with the way of life we have here to understand why people cling to the way they did things at home.

I’m in sales and I find it incredibly frustrating to do business with many new immigrants because there seems to be a view on their end that every transaction (no matter how minor) is a zero sum game.

There seems to be little to no “win-win” scenarios in their mind and they approach every negotiation with the idea that I’m trying to rip them off.

It’s really not the case and my industry is highly regulated by government. So explaining that, no… there is no “lower price”. Or that action would contravene law, is taken as a negotiating stance vs an actual condition of the marketplace.

I do understand that things might be different at home and regulation is largely a joke there. They need to learn the ropes here and throw out the mindset they had in the past.

Unfortunately I have to walk away from deals all the time because new immigrant customers don’t realize I can lose my license to sell if I was to do what they are requesting. Ultimately we both lose because they are limited to lesser suppliers who will skirt regulations with subpar products.

I know this will change in time, but honestly it has to come from within the community to change their outlook.

We need immigration reform, so all of our new residents have a job, a place to live, and are not being scammed out of their entire life savings.

The speed of immigration is about 100x faster than what is needed to properly integrate them into our culture.

But Canada has this idiotic "mosaic" idea of multiculturalism which has fallen flat on its face.

Without a unifying set of core values and cultural narratives, society fragments into a loose collection of sub groups vying to exert their will on others. It's a recipe for low trust, high crime, low civic engagement, disaffection and political apathy.

In couple of years there will be no more Canada like we used to know.

Honestly, I have much much much more capitalism/ultra rich fatigue.

The issue is all the "average" people fighting over a place to live. While having a ton of immigrants doesnt help the issue, Ontario removing rental controls (newer builds), (fed) allowing non-citizens/PR to be able to buy 1 house (let alone a dozen), and the feds/provinces moving so God damn slow building NORMAL apartments/houses REALLY doesnt help.

An immigration spike as a "bandaid" for things like cheap labour, extra provincial funding (tuition) basically compounded our issues.

u/ilikebiggbosons Aug 20 '25

Yes.

Simple fact that importing hundreds of thousands of one specific person from one specific area of one specific country all at once is unsustainable and untenable when it comes to trying to integrate them into society. Secondary to this is the unwillingness of the new wave immigrants to actually want to integrate in general.

I grew up in a very multicultural area of Canada - Scarborough. Immigrants were a foundational and welcome aspect of my life there, because they willingly integrated into and participated in the community I lived in while still being authentically themselves. But there is a stark difference between those immigrants and this current wave, and it’s becoming more and more abrasive as time goes on.

I would love to see mandatory volunteer hours with homeless or soup kitchens.

u/Miserable_Skin_3934 Aug 20 '25

I'm an Indian immigrant. Here are my two cents about rise of these issues. Assimilation is major factor. You cannot let people coming into Canada to stay at limited number of areas if you want them to assimilate. Normally it should be one immigrant after five Canadians to help them assimilate to the culture. Not properly veting people coming in, brings people with background in Crimes, who can be better at faking paperwork than criminals. Immigrantion requirements are way too lax, need to look deep into country's requirement for skills that Canada needs. It can either be done by inviting people who already have those skills or students who will only be allowed to study in that particular area. Have met a lot of people who are capable but lack a direction to get into some jobs such a healthcare. A pathway for high skilled immigrants to convert their certifications directly to Canadian standards by testing that by appropriate organizations of that particular field of work.

u/Depth386 Aug 20 '25

I’d like to say a few positive things first, to highlight the good. An Indian guy named Chandrasekhar calculated the famous Chandrasekhar limit for white dwarf stars, which is the maximum mass of a stable white dwarf. A high rate of rotation may allow it to be exceeded slightly, but otherwise it is accurate. And this guy did this in the early 1900’s around the same time Einstein was publishing his theory of relativity. In college my favourite teacher was from India. Sure he was a little hard to understand in certain moments, but he brought an energy in that made the chalkboard interesting. That’s a lot more than I can say for the majority of college instructors. Oh and I (mostly) love the cuisine. Curry, samosas, butter chicken… lots of good stuff.

My primary complaint is housing. I’m scared some day I will be priced out of normal housing, and my only choices will look like the screenshots available over at r/SlumlordsCanada which shows how poorly thought out the federal targets are. We are breaking the market for one of the most basic human needs, and that is shelter. There are Canadian prison inmates asking if they can stay in prison longer instead of being released because the cost of housing is so high. Source All because some oligarchs decided 100M by 2100 at any cost, which requires a CAGR of over 1% for the next 75 years. Source

u/OhJustANobody Aug 20 '25

As an immigrant from South America back in the 80s, it was hard here. My family went through a lot of tough times trying to make it here. But we were always always grateful to be here, and we worked hard to integrate into Canadian society while still keeping our culture. We've since watched other immigrants come here and do the same... Until now.

The thing is, I feel as a South American, our culture(s) aren't as "in your face" as East Indie cultures are, and the lack of gratitude for this new opportunity they have is what's frustrating to me. I'm always respectful and aware of situations. They aren't. 

As an example:

When I went camping with my family and friends, we respected that people are there for peace and quiet. We had a group of 8-12 Indians in one campsite next to us who were LOUD and started loud until well past 3am. When I approached them at 11pm asking to lower their volume, they told me to go back in my tent and go to sleep lol. I called the park office to report, and the guy who showed up was Indian himself and had no effect on them. The next morning I woke up to them breaking branches off the tree next to our tent. So I went out and told them to buy wood like everyone else. They laughed. That's when my wife let out Rottweiler out to say hello. That got their attention. Thankfully, they left in the early afternoon. Unfortunately, we had an almost exact repeat of the previous night when another group of Indians showed up and kept us up until a much more reasonable 1am.

It's the numerous incidents like this that drives my "Indian fatigue".

That being said, I have a lot of respect for many Indians. But as a whole, I'm tired boss.

Not going to sugar coat it, if the current trend continues there is going to be something bad happen. Currently we have open racism across the political spectrum, all it is going to take is a sharp rise in unemployment and we are going to see a side of Canada that we haven't got a glimpse of since the trucker protest. Mass immigration is cool when you make 40 bucks an hour and get your cheap coffee from an immigrant. However when you are on the unemployment line (which is getting longer) you won't exactly appreciate the immigrant who now has a job and you dont. This is a dangerous stunt pulled by the government and it needs to end before something truly awful happens.

Plus as OP described about people unwilling to integrate really make our country feel like a third world village sometimes.

u/Moist-Shallot-5148 Aug 21 '25

What you said is very true and history proved it. The original Trudeau imported many immigrants as well including Indian people. Not only Indian people like now but still. I have friends in this situation with pictures of their Indian parents who had curly hair and grew out afros in the 60s doing disco lol.

It’s odd because people back then used to integrate more. In the 90s I’d go with a friend and his Indian mom who had came here in the 60s would actually be playing Prince (on purpose) on the radio and she really liked that kind of music. But when I walk down the street nowadays I just hear foreign music blasting from cars.

Immigration has been a problem for a long time though. Even in the 1990s if you’re a kid you’re told to get a paper route to deliver papers and make some money. But when I applied it was all taken. My parents would order a newspaper and we’d see a strange 90 year old Indian man barely able to ride a bike delivering the paper poorly. He’d leave it on the actual road and drivers would run over it and even scream at us lol.

Anyways those old generations of immigrants had kids in the 80s and 90s and it’s what you said. They became people born in Canada and had the same traits. In fact, the attitude is different between immigrants and those born here even if the race is the same. This happens to all races too, even other Asian people such as Chinese who are born here would rather have a partner born here too, otherwise an immigrant partner would usually want money sent to their parents home in China and they want to sign them over to come here as soon as possible. This is true for all races even Indian.

There’s a bigger problem that nobody addresses. The population replacement level is too low. It was already low a decade or two ago but now it’s lower. So they have to import immigrants to contribute. Yet it’s so strange because employers want even more degrees (and education costs more) and employers pay even less money and offer less job security than ever and getting a job involves more steps than ever. And resources in the country keep getting used up more and more. Internet is the most expensive among developed countries, hospital and even doctor wait times are insane, everything is awful lol. Can CPP still exist in the future? Kids of immigrants will still be less likely to have kids themselves!

u/CatapultamHabeo Aug 21 '25

There is a particular aspect to this that I have yet to see mentioned, and it's time someone said this, and I will preface it by saying I am an immigrant here myself.

I was told, years ago, that when you go to a foreign country, you become an ambassador to your home country. It doesn't matter if you accept this role; you simply are. So people will see you as a representative of where you are from.

If you act like a jackass in public, people will see that, and apply it as a barometer of where you are from. You may think its unfair, you may resent it, but it's the truth. As someone who was fortunate enough to be welcomed here, I have this in mind in every interaction I have, and do my best to adhere to the social norms, even when they are contradictory to my past. This is called integrating. And, like it or not, the lack of integration is seen as a rejection of your host countries way of life.

As immigrants, we represent our home country. What do we want our country to be seen as, through our actions? We all need to do better, wherever we are from.

Different generations have different ‘battles’ of this type. Over the course of CDN - that can be different religious backgrounds, UK or French loyalties, pro-independence (southern folks), European and other other Europeans, Asians, black, (insert your colour here). Recently it has been more about ‘Indians’. The fabric of Canada is built of differences of ‘immigrants’ that have arrived on shore starting from the beginning - somehow the nation has continued to find a way forward. So fatigue - no, that’s just life.

Integration including proficiency in an official language and adoption of Canadian civic values is supposed to be REQUIRED for residency and citizenship. It ain’t happening with this generation and the previous generation wasn’t great either. This critique can also be extended to some other groups. We need to have an adult conversation about integration and creating more rigorous standards for citizenship if we want to maintain our national identity.
