Good stuff

I dont see the issue
One can get a super visa stay for a while.
You just have to pay for private insurance coverage.
If a canadian resident cant afford rhat coverage then they cant take care of their parents anyways and just brought them over so the canadian tax payer can take care of them.
I am not heartless but with millions who came over recently, the idea everyone can bring their parents is a fools errand.
Thank christ
Oh no, anyway…
I understand that it is upsetting but with our healthcare services etc under as much pressure as they are, it doesn’t make sense to bring in thousands of older people who likely have multiple health problems and who do not pay taxes to help support public services
They used the word „families“ but forgot to include „franchise owners“
Thank god. This was a massive drain on our healthcare resources.
Thank god this is done with. Elderly individuals from underdeveloped countries (recent incomers) have been a massive strain on hospitals in downtown Toronto
Fuck those people who think they can go to shitty private colleges on study visas and bring all of their families over to abuse our health care system. Meanwhile, Canadians have to pay for it and Canadians are the ones in the waiting room.
We shouldn’t be giving citizenship or PR to anybody over the age of 60, period.
They should be more transparent as to where the applications came from. I am guessing it’s from one country and everyone else simply didn’t stand a chance with the mass number of applicants. They should at least make it fairer if anything.
The sad part for the Canadian taxpayers is that over 30% of sponsors are dead beats, in the end it’s us footing the bill!
Why the fuck would we even consider bringing 60-70 year-olds who will cost our healthcare system thousands while contributing absolutely nothing themselves.
Good riddance.
There should be absolutely no immigration for seniors. Resources are finite and our health care system is a complete disaster already. We can’t afford to import seniors so they can enjoy OAS, GIS and free health care in their old age that they never paid a dime of taxes towards.
My wife and her family were immigrants. I couldn’t believe that her grandparents could become citizens so easy. Never contribute to the economy, but become massive drains on the social system.
FINALLY the government starts to make sensible immigration policies.
Good. Go back there to take care of them. Don’t bring them here and make them canadas problem. Our infrastructure and services cannot handle it at current rates
Great news!
I lived in canada for 11 years and never once thought about bringing my elderly father over. If you miss your family so much you can always go back to your home country, I did
I’ve always thought this was insane that we bring in peoples grandparents who by definition contribute nothing to social services yet disproportionately use up resources available to them.
About time this program ended
Halt? Fucking end it. Permanently.
Grandparent sponsorship is absurd
Huge strain on the struggling healthcare system
These comments have reinforced that we are doing the right thing. We don’t need more old people in Canada. We are already dealing with a rapidly aging population. Why would we welcome more of those in that same category?
Why do we need to import old people who can’t contribute to our society, so they can be a burden on our society and its services and resources?
Makes no sense.
I am ok with this. Every person accepted needs proper vetting to ensure our system can handle it. There should never be an auto acceptance because one wants to bring their ext family with them.
We don’t need seniors in our country. We need contributing members of society.
Absolutely nuts this ever existed in the first place. Jesus.
Our health care system cannot support those who haven’t paid into it.
This should never have started. To bad families are upset but Canada can’t save the world.
It’s sad but it’s necessary. We have an aging population we cannot take on more retired aging people. They have not paid taxes and they will require a lot of healthcare
Emergency rooms across the country are overwhelmed, and Canada can’t find enough doctors.
How does it make any sense to continue a program like this?
I don’t think we need more elderly people here. That program made very little sense.
Thank Christ Almighty.
Maybe move back to the Philippines?
I’m sorry they’re heartbroken but I’m not sorry that we aren’t supporting them anymore. They shouldn’t have been allowed to come in, not having contributed to our society in anyway, and then get access to resources that the rest of Canadians have paid into their whole lives.
If they’re heartbroken they’re free to move to be closer to them
Thank god. A ridiculous policy that should’ve never been in place.
Little known fact, after 10 years these people are also eligible for OAS despite never contributing any federal tax over their lifetime.
Moreover, in Ontario, if they come over and can prove some disability they are eligible for ODSP.
Why would we allow old people who cant work and only need care to come here? What is the benefit to that?
I am immigrant and welcome this change. Personally I have seen the condition of healthcare in BC and always wondered why Canada allowed so many seniors free PR and healthcare when they haven’t contributed much too society.
No one is separating families here, kids are choosing to move here.
