Canada plans brain drain of H-1B visa holders, with no-job, no-worries permits

I don't think white people love in Canada. Every store in Toronto has foreigners. Everywhere you go, most people have been here less than 10 years. You only see real old people or extremely smart engineers stocking grocery shelves since the robots are cashiers now.

All the new people are delivering Uber and skip and living with 6-10 in a 1 bedroom.

Not sure why people keep coming here. Most people who grew up here have moved outside of the city and many more left because the salary here is good when you first come as an immigrant but you realize the costs are not worth it.

What's wrong with foreigners in stores? Why wouldn't white people like that? I'm white, I like seeing my neighbors in stores.

Because immigrants come here for a good culture but the people who built it are gone which makes Toronto a regular boring city.

We leave where we came from because we hear ideas of how great it is and different from where we are leaving.

It's because the situation outside (in poorer countries) is even shittier, and stocking shelves is not paid enough to be able to live normally (without 6+ people in one bedroom), because cheap foreigners living 6+ in one bedroom do it, instead of the company having to pay local workers high enough wages. Even if foreigners leave, someone new, from an even shittier situation will come and replace them.

If shop owners were forced to pay native canadians the "livable" amount of money, the situation might be different... but I agree, that the housing situation is fucked in most of the developed world and governments actively try to keep it in a fucked state.
