The number of Indians immigrating to Canada has more than quadrupled since 2013 due to policies aimed at attracting and retaining talent.

What's surprising is "why?". We can't sustain the population we already have.

Because they're already used to bad housing conditions, they're the perfect immigrants. They won't complain and are happy to have 10 people in an apartment

They also fill all the jobs Canadians won't do and are already educated

It's obvious why the gov focuses on getting them

That's not the point. Landlords need to stack people like cordwood to make their investments pay off, and Tim Hortons franchise owners need people they can pay nothing and who are blissfully unaware of things like labour regulations.

Except Indians immigrating won't work primarily in Tim Horton's. That's reserved for TFW.
