Context: Like the US, Canada allows international students to work. Unlike the US, Canada allows those students to work off campus, up to 40 hours a week. This has caused the rise of an entire industry, in which so-called institutions of higher learning (Conestoga, Lambton, Confederation) have 99% Indian "students" that work off campus, destroying the local job and housing markets.

I think you meant to say immigrants alleviate the local labor shortage and contribute to the housing market.

50% of migrants can't find a job.

Our banks are publishing papers that for every 1% our population increases, home prices appreciate 3% above the target CPI of 2%; AFTER accounting for interest rates.

It's flat out a Ponzi Scheme. Our real wages are absolute CRAP.

Almost all of our colleges are diploma mills now. Not just the private ones.
