  1. > Radio-Canada had this conversation recently over WhatsApp with an individual associated with one of a dozen TikTok accounts we identified that were advertising an illegal service: helping Indian temporary residents in Canada cross into the U.S. outside of official border points.

    > The individual offering a trip of “40 minutes through the jungle” did not disclose his real name to Radio-Canada but claimed to live in Brampton, Ont.

    > The vast majority of the people intercepted are Indian or Bangladeshi and have been living in Canada on student or tourist visas.

    > Radio-Canada was able to find online ads promising Indian nationals access to fraudulent Canadian visas for tens of thousands of dollars. One post in a private Facebook group even promised a package deal: visa, airfare to Canada and border-jumping services to the U.S., all for $130,000.

    > There is a thriving market for this type of service because Canada is a faster, easier and safer option for Indian people to reach the United States, said political scientist Shinder Purewal of Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia.

    > “[Getting a] Canadian visa is very easy,” he said. “The U.S. visa is particularly hard.”

    It’s only a matter of time before Canadians will require a visa to enter the US with the current state of things

    “The vast majority of the people intercepted are Indian or Bangladeshi and have been living in Canada on student or tourist visas.”

    That explains why they are advertising Brampton as the starting point.

    This kind of blatant fraudulent activity seems to be a problem with one dominant ethnicity that’s been flooding into Canada. I mean, they’re actively advertising illegally smuggling people across the US border publicly on TikTok for crying out loud. If we were a serious country with things like laws and stuff, the authorities would have already shut this down.

    But everyone looks the other way, just like the blatant housing rental ad discrimination in places like Brampton, for fear of being called an -ist or -ism…it’ll be all fun and games here too until the US starts to call attention to the trend and points out what Canadians are too timid to say.

  4. They only lowered temporary residents by like 10% from 487k to 432k

    The liberals are laughing in your faces while Canadians are going to be at risk of needing fucking visas to get into the states lol

    Anything can happen near the border, big undefended area. Let’s go lay some leghold traps and start community watch patrols, CBSA couldn’t wipe my ass for what we pay. Hell, they’re probably in on it.
