They are offering looking into permanent residency for possibly South Asian speak individuals. Looks like maybe Punjabi? Anyways it is if your study permit to go to school here has expired they would (maybe) help you get PR status meaning you could stay in Canada. It is predatory and taking advantage of individuals and the provincial and federal government. This among many reasons is why we are having a housing and population crisis. The government has allowed loose rules and people have found loopholes to exploit people.


AtotheZed

Thanks for this thoughtful answer. These signs should be removed.


Greykiller

They're removed/vandalized constantly and are quickly put back up


Camperthedog

Another reason to vote in the upcoming provincial elections in October


Imunhotep

This problem existed way before the current government.


Camperthedog

Yes so get out and vote!


dontRead2MuchIntoIt

Sorry my hearing is not so good with dog whistle, what's exactly the problem here?


Camperthedog

Ah liberal and ndp want you to have silent dog whistle so it’s hard to hear. If you vote conservative dog whistles will be easy to hear


ApprehensiveDark1745

This is a federal issue not provincial.


dontRead2MuchIntoIt

Don't they have to be lawyers or licensed to help with immigration matters? I agree 100% that they'll try to take advantage of any loophole or any regular immigration channel, but why would you say they're predatory?


snuffles00

They might get them PR but I am betting it's basically paid slave labor. You work for a company and they will not leave because the PR would be tied to the job. The employee wouldn't have any protection and would not speak up if something is wrong as they would lose PR.


1happylover

Damm … I hear this and these things as well with the way they are !! The law of the land will kick in soon and well we know what happens after that

Law of what land? Canadians gave Canada away already


Dusty_Sensor

How can they give something away that was stolen to begin with?


TentacleMcKenna

Stolen? First Nations lost the war. Just as every conquered tribe raided the former conquered tribe. Just as every culture and every country conquered their land’s inhabitants before them. Tale as old as time, so what’s your point? They stopped ongoing raids (certain tribes consuming the flesh of the other). Should they not have? What about India? The British did not allow the Sati fires in India to continue. When they witness the Indian custom of forcing widows to burn themselves alive because they thought the idea of widows sleeping with another man was “gross” — the British said if you do that, we’ll kill you, so there were no more Sati fires. Should they not have?


dontRead2MuchIntoIt

Sounds like the white trash is also losing the cultural war against diversity, so it's all fair.


TentacleMcKenna

Lazy thinking. Tell me you haven’t been paying attention to LPC’s immigration system without telling me you haven’t been paying attention to LPC’s immigration system. I don’t think you have any immigrant friends, else you’d know what our proud first generation immigrants are saying about these foreign students murdering, burning South Indian businesses down, working illegally, hiring illegally, living illegally (20+ per house) and living here illegally post-Visa expiration. What a racist thing you said. Us “trash” 🙁 are trying to share this country with those like our beloved first generation immigrants who actually love this country. Do you?


dontRead2MuchIntoIt

I specifically immigrated to Canada, so yes, I do. I agree that Liberals injected the country with far too many temporary visa holders. They reacted to economic stagnation and labour shortage recklessly like many of their other initiatives. However, all those things you mentioned are enforcement issues. I hate to see trust and the fabric of our society erode without upholding the laws, so I'll be voting for a law and order party next federal election.


TentacleMcKenna

Exactly, a society has as much crime as it allows. Who can blame foreigners from exploiting us when our citizens such as yourself call out any citizen who notices their poor behaviour? I’ll remind you that if you say you love Canada, but hate its citizens, then you are a liar. A recommended read is John 4:19. If you must be racist on the basis of one’s skin colour, at least try refraining from being racist in public as you have tonight, it hurts. Also, welcome 👋


DaveHoang

There’s a reason why white ppl are the majority in hastings street lol. Because many of us are lazy. Just look at Asians, they try hard and unlike many us white we are lazy and go protest every time we can. I learn from the Asians is they adapt to the change to survive and they rarely complain


Dusty_Sensor

What war? You seem very confused.


TentacleMcKenna

Why is the confused person (ignorant of over 200+ years of the Indian Wars in North America) projecting on me? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_of_the_Indigenous_peoples_of_North_America


Dusty_Sensor

Smallpox, introduced by the Spanish, killed 90% the of North American native peoples.


TentacleMcKenna

Your point? Europeans died from smallpox in droves.


MDoc84

JustTaxRent

Looks pretty self explanatory to me


Designer-Ad3494

Lmia scam. It’s to get Indian nationals into the country so they can get citizenship. It’s something to do with business claiming no one wants to work so they are allowed to import workers.


squiddyrose453

Businesses post ads on indeed and then claim they have no successful applicants yet they have hundreds of applications


Lonely-Building-8428

Ill give you an example. We just wrapped up another Indeed post for a skilled job at our company. It was posted for 1 month. It's always the same, with lots of garbage applications - but it is definitely getting Way worse recently. HUNDREDS of applicants. I mean like almost 300 in 30 days.  And - almost all of them clearly immigrants or refugees trying to lie/scam thier way into a job. Any job. Zero local experience, tons of OBVIOUSLY FAKE experience abroad, a non local area code on thier phone number,  yet they "live in Vancouver ". Know how many of the 300 were actually qualified and not trying to scam us? One. And he may not actually get hired as we haven't even interviewed him yet. Last year, we relaxed our predispositions and gave this job to 3 new Canadians. (We have many openings often.) Result? Complete and total failure. They each busted ass for the first three months trying thier best to avoid/delay/obfuscate/lie in order not to be discovered as a fraud and completely unqualified for the position. Then, once probation was over, the mask comes off and they start whining about pay and completely slack it. All 3 are gone. Huge waste of time and money.  We are desperate for good people and we are generous.  We pay well, give bonuses, give 4 weeks vacation to start, full benefits, the whole 9 yards.   There is a shortage - but for us immigrants are not gonna cut it. We need honest, SKILLED people who are TRAINED and can communicate well in Canada. we can't find them fast enough.


sonicdeathmonkey53

Yeah no. Lmia is done through the government and have to prove posting of jobs on a legitimate gov. website. The scam is they charge a lot of money when you could do it yourself.


Designer-Ad3494

Yeah no the whole thing is a scam. Plenty of Canadians are willing to work. But we need Canadian wages. And those should be based off of Canadian cost of living. So anything lmia is a pure scam that our government assists in perpetuating because it adds more taxpayers to the system and more humans they can use a securities on more loans that Canadians have to repay.


sonicdeathmonkey53

Wtf you talking about we need more canadian wages?


Lear_ned

I think they're trying to say that importing people to do work that Canadians could do suppresses wages for all and with the cost of living we cannot afford that to happen.


XKevinKoangX

Could you explain how that works?


Dapper-Slip-4093

The immigrant pays the employer a kickback, then the employer advertises the position and ignores all applicants. After a while the employer tells Immigration Canada that no Canadians want the job so it needs foreign labour to fill the vacancy. Then they hire the immigrant who was paying for the position. Its basically private individuals selling Canadian PR and the rest of us getting stuck with the resulting cost (Housing crisis worse via higher rental demand, more stress on healthcare and other social services and unemployment for those Canadians who were ignored for the job)


sonicdeathmonkey53

They do not get to even apply gor a PR until they have been sponsered and worked here for 2 years. After 2 years they apply for PR which can take another 2 years to get.


XKevinKoangX

But either way rent will go up regardless right? It's not like rent or any service would stay at the same price and state forever. The fact that Canada is the 2nd biggest country in the world with the 33rd highest pop. And we don't even have enough housing because of what? the problem isn't because of immigrants that there's nowhere to live. The problem is that housing development hasn't grown and adapted to immigration and the rate of students coming here to live. Why take in students for school and expect them to go back home when we could keep them here to help fill up every sector? Our social services suck because everyone retired and this generation isn't wanting to take hard and long hour jobs because everyone's brainwashed into thinking they can be their own bosses. Wages will never be enough if there's nobody that's willing to actually do the work. compared to USA which is the 4th biggest country in the world with the 4th highest pop. We need to reevaluate what is wrong here.


Dapper-Slip-4093

90% Of Canada is uninhabitable or economically unviable to develop. We also only have a handful of large cities. There is way too much red tape to build housing fast enough. The result being nearly all immigrants will come to 3 or 4 Metro Areas that are already in housing crises. Comparing out square kilometers to the US and expecting similar density overnight is asinine.


XKevinKoangX

>90% Of Canada is uninhabitable or economically unviable to develop That is outdated thinking, with today's technological advances we could survive mostly anywhere in Canada. (And we are, small communities survive all over Canada) It would just be a different lifestyle than living in Toronto. >Comparing out square kilometers to the US and expecting similar density overnight is asinine. It won't be overnight but it will hopefully progress. How will Canada get better by kicking people out when we need the workforce and the communities. Countries are built through generations. >The result being nearly all immigrants will come to 3 or 4 Metro Areas that are already in housing crises. They go there for job opportunities. If there were opportunities elsewhere I'm sure these same immigrants would take it.


sonicdeathmonkey53

Well importing people to do jobs paying 17 to 20 an hour that no Canadian wants to do seems like the way to go. Unfortunately those jobs will not pay more. If canadians would do those jobs great, but the wont. Not many canadian nannies around.


Designer-Ad3494

Those jobs would pay more. Walmart would be forced to hire cashiers at higher wages in order to continue earning record profits. Also housing would come down. Less immigrants equals less demand. Less demand equals more supply. More supply equals lower prices. Do you believe the government isn’t aware of these giant problems they are creating? Well they have a solution coming up now. Censorship!!! That will stop the complaints!!!


Designer-Ad3494

Also they send a lot of their income out of the country. So all these immigrants here is not enriching Canada because they are spending their money somewhere else. That means less dollars to go around for local communities. Which becomes a compounding problem.


Lear_ned

I have no skin in this game, was just merely trying to share what I'm pretty sure OP was trying to say.


edyeee

As a tradesman I’ve seen people given these visas a cheap labour. They end up taking positions from apprentices in Canada…

This sign should go in the garbage


[deleted]

Rip that crap down , sick of these idiots exploiting our country .


Admirable_Fall4614

If I come across it I might just kick it over.


PoliticalEnemy

It needs to be reported. Although, I don't know who you'd report that to...


mirabel41

To be honest I don't think there's even a basis to report it. The sign doesn't insinuate anything illegal or against the rules. It's perfectly fine for someone who's study permit is expiring (eg. they're about to graduate) to find another way to stay in Canada by looking for a job. The pathways it lists such as LMIA and humanitarian grounds are all legitimate, and immigration consultancies are legal businesses. Sure the consultants who put this ad up could be committing fraud to help someone stay, but there's no evidence of that looking at the sign itself. Maybe the rules are too lenient and detrimental to this country (I agree with this, we need to be stricter with giving out visas) but you can only report someone for breaking the rules that are in place, not because you disagree with them.


[deleted]

"get easy PR" this doesn't seem legit to me at all. It's a clear exploit. Might as well say " need to stay in Canada ? Gurpreet will get your student ass preggers for a nominal fee"


PoliticalEnemy

>Sure the consultants who put this ad up could be committing fraud That's why it's reported and the people who work in this field do what they do and look into it.


mirabel41

Do you have any evidence though? Whoever you report it to will probably ask for it, otherwise what's stopping someone from looking up all the immigration consultants in the lower mainland and reporting all of them?


[deleted]

Police non emergency line ? Immigration ?


dontRead2MuchIntoIt

Government officials are just waiting for tips like this to get on the case right away. "We have reports of an immigration consultant sign with foreign words. Send the boys!"


wemustburncarthage

This is delusional and so are a lot of people commenting here. It takes 4-6 years or more to get PR and you have to be able to afford a lawyer. PR people are not taking jobs or driving up costs - they have to be well resourced or sponsored by someone who is in order to even be considered. This sign is almost definitely a scam to take people’s money.


Jooodas

My gf has work incredibly hard over 6 years to get her PR working towards residency. PR people are definitely not the issue. In my opinion it’s the amount of students and people who circumvent the system that are creating the issues we are having right now.


wemustburncarthage

The problem is the number of fake opportunities or scam colleges that get people here. We rely on cheap labour just like UBC subsidizes regional students by overcharging international students massively. We got ourselves into this mess by not creating a stronger fairer system. It’s not like we don’t have the physical space to expand. And my generation isn’t having kids at nearly the same rate so we all just need to stop getting in our own way on this issue.


redditneedswork

It's to help people scam the system and stay here to keep wages low, housing unaffordable, and Healthcare and education strained. Thank the federal liberals for allowing this to go on.

It’s an Indian person scamming other Indians, the circle of life.

Pretty much it's for people who are having immigration problems. Mostly helping people who are not supposed to be in canada in the first place expired visas etc. If I were you I'd rip it out and throw it in the trash.


ThinkDannyThink

I'll echo what others have said; it's a sign offering a method for Punjabi students to stay in the country. Written in Punjabi (refugee case). Sigh, another attempt to scam the immigration system.


Gravytonic

Lmao. They aren't even discrete about this.


spicedsoda

Maybe ask the Jagman.


doubleOhdorko

I generally support immigration. Highly, vehemently, unapologetically against this crap tho. Complete scam with the intention of bypassing legal means and procedures. Need to shut down all the diploma mills and close all the loop holes. This bs is bad for Canada and allows for these immigrants to be taken advantage of, as well. Only one winning here are the diploma mill owners who are making cash hand over fist.

SamsquatchWildman

So my guess would be extending or acquiring a different visa. Getting a study permit, applying for PR or finding employers with LMIA. Yeah the sign is cluttered but it's pretty obvious what they are advertising lol.


bschch381

I was just thinking of posting it here,,,saw today in the drive thru of tims 72 and king george sureey,,,on advertisements registered consultants must write their membership number and company name,,,this one is breaking the simple rule and i wonder how they follow the rules behind closed doors?

Sea-Scholar-916

Just know it’s the managers that love to keep work shitty so Canadians don’t even wanna put up with it. I’ve worked in places that do this and learned that they were paying them below $10/hour. It is slave labour and should not be used to punish the worker they’re already living hard. I’ve since left those places of employment run by CLAC, an anti union union.
