Wow. How mean can people be? A country gives you an opportunity and you abuse it. This is terrible.
The least we can do as immigrants is give back to the country that has accommodated and given us benefits.
The question I keep asking is, Why do some people leave their country to go to another man's country to destroy it? It's all shades of wrong.
Thank you for creating awareness on what is going on.
Canada has long been known as a land of immigrants and opportunity. However, many are left wondering:
what broke Canada?
Here is a real story shared by a close friend.
My friend landed in Canada in 2015 and was offered free English coaching as part of his early settlement assistance in Saskatchewan. He joined these English lessons and noticed that he had several classmates from the African continent. Surprisingly, these classmates had been stuck at the exact same English proficiency level for three to four years. This was shocking to my friend because it was a very basic, introductory level that could easily be cleared within three months.
After befriending most of them, my friend figured out the truth. These individuals had actually been living in Canada for seven to eight years and were still studying at the exact same college. Furthermore, none of them had applied for Canadian citizenship; they all remained permanent residents.
The Loophole
The reason was simple, if you become a Canadian citizen, you no longer qualify for free language schooling. These free English programs are a benefit reserved strictly for permanent residents.
Because they shared a similar religious background, many of these families had between four and eight children. Additionally, their cultural or religious beliefs did not permit the women to work outside the home. Since the men were perpetually "in school," these families were able to claim every single government benefit available to them. They received money for:
Food and groceries
Rent assistance
Unemployment benefits
Child tax benefits
Meanwhile, our own elderly population has to keep working well past the age of 65 simply because they cannot afford to retire.
This is what broke Canada: weak government policies exploited by strong personal interests.
