With the legacy of his father Pierre Trudeau on his side and support from President Obama, Justin Pierre James Trudeau is serving as the 23rd and current Prime Minister of Canada since 2015 and Leader of the Liberal Party since 2013.

Two of Obama’s campaign aides worked for Trudeau’s campaign, and the president followed the Canadian race and knew of the excitement the victory had generated around the world

Harper’s vision of a nation in an age of terror, in a world afire with conflict. On the other was Trudeau’s moderate liberal belief that the world is not riven by an epic clash of civilizations, and that cultural and religious and linguistic differences and openness are Canada’s strength.

In the media interviews, Trudeau said: “There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada.”

Candice Malcolm, a columnist with the Toronto Sun and a former press secretary to then Conservative immigration minister Jason Kenney said, ‘Trudeau’s sketch of Canadian identity was one of the reasons she set out to write a book that examines the prime minister’s immigration policies.

Malcolm also warned about the serious security implications of the Trudeau government’s fast track approach in accepting refugees displaced by the civil war in Syria.
In Losing True North: Justin Trudeau’s Assault on Canadian Citizenship, the author asserted: “There is a core Canadian identity.”

“Canada is an incredibly proud nation – with plenty to be proud of – and holds a deeply ingrained set of shared values and commitments,” Malcolm wrote in her book. “From these values, Canadians derive a distinct identity, defined not by how we look, but by how we live. Our core identity is defined by the rights and responsibilities of Canadian citizenship.”

Refugee asylum seekers Issue:

Refugees have a lawful right to enter a country for the purposes of seeking asylum, regardless of how they arrive or whether they hold valid travel or identity documents.  An asylum seeker is a person whose application for asylum or refugee status is pending in the administrative or legal processes.

After the election of the Trudeau Liberals, Canada swiftly rebranded itself as a tolerant, open-armed society. Canada has for decades offered refugee protection to those who have legitimate claims of fearing persecution back home, if they can find their way here.

In 2007. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued an open invitation to refugees with a tweet declaring, “to those fleeing persecution, terror & war ... #WelcomeToCanada.
Thousands of asylum seekers came into Canada illegally across the Canada-U.S. border, but only a fraction were removed from the country.

As of March 2018, US President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration and his move to strip Haitians, Salvadorans and others of their temporary legal status have had a broad effect on Canada's refugee system. More than 20,000 people, including thousands of Haitians and Nigerians and hundreds of Turks, Syrians and Eritreans, have crossed the border into Canada illegally over the past year in search of asylum, many fleeing in fear that Trump would deport them to their countries of origin. It's going to get worse. The numbers keep climbing.

In 2017, there were 8,200 removals of failed refugee claimants, people who had outstayed their travel, work or student visa or were considered a risk to public safety.
Refugee settlement organizations across the country have reported similar challenges and successes for the nearly 52,000 Syrian refugees who arrived in Canada between October 2015 and February 2018. Many Syrian refugees are struggling to find employment and afford life in Canada. Many spent at least three years in refugee camps and experienced trauma. They tend to have less education, fewer skills, more medical conditions and a weaker support network than privately sponsored refugees in Canada

The Canadian government was forced to set aside C$173 million in its latest budget to pay for extra patrols at border crossings.

In 2017, thousands slept in Montreal's Olympic stadium. Toronto approved the booking of more hotel rooms for refugee claimants through the end of 2018, at a cost of about 20 million Canadian dollars.

Toronto is not alone in asking for help. Vancouver has asked the British Columbia provincial government for more money for refugee aid agencies. The federal government says it won't give cities more money for asylum seekers, who are barred from accessing a 762 million Canadian dollar ($586.6m) federal fund that is for permanent residents or people who have already been granted refugee status.

Canada has experienced a huge surge in its international student population in recent years. International students contribute more than $15 billion to our economy each year. Canada had just fewer than 500,000 international students at the end of 2017. Canada’s international student population has nearly tripled over the past decade. In 2014, the federal government set a goal of having 450,000 international students in the country by 2022.

Because of the massive influx this summer, asylum seekers could have to wait up to ten months to have their eligibility interview, Douglas Robert Ford is a Canadian businessman and politician who is the 26th and current Premier of Ontario since June 29, 2018, withdrew Ontario’s support for the resettlement of asylum seekers who cross the border illegally.

• The federal government has only set aside $11-million to help Toronto, Ontario  deal with the added costs but The Ontario  government says the resettlement of asylum seekers has cost Toronto $72-million, while the province has spent a further $60-million on social assistance and legal aid.
• Quebec will receive $36-million and Manitoba will get $3-million.
• The federal government has said more support is on the way, as Toronto faces an Aug. 9 deadline to find housing for 800 asylum seekers currently living in college dormitories that need to be empty for the arrival of students.
• Canadians need to know more about the federal government’s spending plan now that it appears to have made a decision to “normalize” the arrival of more than 31,000 border crossers since January, 2017.
• MPs on the committee agreed to hold at least two emergency meetings before Aug. 3 to study the impact of the surge in asylum seekers.

Canada is failing to deport criminals. Here’s why it can take years, sometimes decades- The federal government may be good at welcoming newcomers to Canada, but it’s become increasingly ineffective at getting rid of those who are not welcome.

It was the Liberal government’s inaction that proved the biggest rebuttal of Trudeau’s social-media idealism: Thousands of asylum seekers may wind up settling here in limbo for years, creating a temporary safe haven that may be just as inviting to other anxious migrants to our south Migrants came from troubled states like Nigeria, Somalia, Turkey and Syria, but the biggest cohort originated, like Mabon, from Haiti.

Less than half the foreign nationals forced to leave Canada last year did so voluntarily and paid their own way home, according to data from the border services agency.

International students Issues:

Most of the citizens argue that Canadian institutions are pursuing international students because they are a huge source of revenue.

The system is full of holes right now. The unregulated industry leaves students vulnerable to scams and poor treatment at the hands of the people responsible for the kids' well-being. There is no requirement to actually study and no tracking of student activities. The consequences of failure are likely to be felt by every Canadian student, in the form of overcrowded classes and overworked faculty.

According to NRI Media and Candian Media: In June more than 590 studentss throwing punches and kicking at each other, with at least one person being dragged with a group of people tugging at his shirt (5th photo) . Sheridan College President Mary Preece is speaking out in response to the “wrongful and harmful perception” that international students are instigating these “senseless acts.” More than 50 videos in you tube, showing fight all the time.

The majority of the students who come to Canada are not mature enough as they just out of school. Most such students roam around in the College Plaza in big cars and create nuisance. The recent instances of violence had meant that the local population was not renting out accommodation to students, fearing nuisance.

A string of “violent incidents” around College’s Brampton campus that have been caught on video recently are being instigated by international students is just wrong.
Assaults in Peel have gone up, with the latest statistics showing there were 4,269 assault calls in Mississauga and Brampton in 2016, up nine per cent from the 3,869 calls in 2015.

The case pertains to a group of people, allegedly international students, who attacked two men (including a real estate dealer) at Greater Toronto area of Winston Churchill and Steeles Avenue, with sticks and baseball bats.

“Most of the students come here only for work instead of study, college is their way to enter Canada however their main target is to get PR by any means,” said Ranvir Dhillon. “There are so many cases of property damages in Brampton, Toronto and Surrey where students live as tenants , gangs fights and mocking and instigating fights on social media with people who came to Canada in 1970s, 80s

The FCO warns that terrorists are likely to carry out attacks in the Canada.

Toronto is grappling with a sharp rise in gun violence as gun deaths jumped to 26, up 53 per cent so far this year from the same period in 2017.
The number of shootings has risen 13 per cent. The murder rate jumped by 7 per cent. The number of shootings has risen 13 per cent.
According to the 2017 Global Peace Index (GPI), which was published by the Institute for Economics and Peace, Canada is the eighth safest out of 163 countries.
