hey thanks ....its a good informative podcast....i wanna ask if someone came here in Canada as refugee immigrant ...after getting PR or approval for PR.... can go police ???
The information you share matches what i done with my research. Originally, i was researching the laws / rights when talking to the constables. Now i am more interested how the system works.
I have a couple questions - where can I get an OACP certificate ?because I was told you need one to work in the police force -What website do I apply? -What do you need to apply? -Do I need to go to school to become an officer?
Minimum 18 years of age Fluency in English Good driving record Be in excellent health Have good character Canadian high school diploma or equivalent Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident Valid current standard first aid / CPR “C” certification Class 'G' driver's license, full driving privileges, and a maximum of 6 demerit points
.Until 2020 (pandemic), most lifelong Canadians would have proudly & quickly said Canada is a great place. For multiple generations (young & old). It still is in many ways. But like all countries, a bunch of things have made life more difficult lately. During the COVID lockdowns, many people went wild wanting to buy a house (urban & rural). Increasing demand and rising prices. Not long after, inflation caused mortgage rates especially to rise. Rent costs soared too. People interested in working in hospitals declined. Less doctors etc.. Simultaneously in Canada, the number of people coming by air, land and boat to claim asylum skyrocketed. For example, in 2023 alone, in just one region (Central Canada) around 400 people arrived per day (on average). Ditto for other populated provinces. Also the number of international students SKYROCKETED too. In 2023, averaging around 2,000 per day across Canada. Years 2021 and 2022 had high #s too. Hospitals hit with many wanting free healthcare. Less doctors/nurses etc., means greater waiting times. A severe housing crisis has occurred in many western countries including in Canada. In ways not seen in people's lifetimes. The majority trying to migrate to Canada recently have been from South Asia. And it's become extremely obvious to Canadians. Even those that are very used to much diversity & many cultures. Plus neighborhoods now know that international students are primarily using schooling as a 'back door' ticket to come to Canada for permanent residency. No one says it in public amongst strangers, but everyone knows because they've witnessed the extreme PR frenzy firsthand by now. To many Canadians it has felt like a tidal wave that has reached all cities and small towns, with a post secondary school. This extreme situation NEVER existed prior to 4 years ago. Bottom-line. Now westerners want the money greedy agents (pseudo smugglers) in other countries to stop marketing/lying to their own people about access to PR or citizenship … or accommodation/jobs … being easy (to get). And for any greedy people living in western countries to be ashamed of themselves if they're hurting students. People doing things to make $ off of people's PR desires or desperation. At best, there is a 25% chance of gaining PR (better odds if you are masters/medicine etc.). Not all players across the board have acted honestly over the years, i.e. false asylum claims, contract marriages (IELTS spouse), anchor babies, fraud. Canada has asked the India government to prevent “ghost consulting”. The PRIVATE (non-public) colleges are especially being investigated (including looking for very strong oversea ties). Canadians are meeting students who showed Canada they have savings to live off, but it turns out some only borrowed it for the application process. Canadian food banks and other CHARITY services have been recklessly advertised on RU-vid (by India students in Indian language). Many transit services have launched stricter rules, i.e. lost monthly bus passes registered in your name are now never replaced (unlike before). Then this year throw in all the Palestinian vs Israeli angry protests happening regularly in cities. Plus the Sikh vs Hindu violence/extortion mostly happening in Ontario and British Columbia. Plus the Canadian government also recently launched investigations in regards to foreign interference in Canadian elections. All stemming from Asia continent. Hate crimes have gone from rare to occasional (primarily South Asians against South Asians). Canadians are so so so not used to all this. So many, who have embraced multi-culturalism and immigration for decades are now very worried and fearful (due to all of the above). And all are praying it doesn't turn into great anger (like in the USA). Canadians want multi-culturism to succeed … and for all people (including immigrants) to be okay. Everyone I know is very happy with Canada Immigration's recent changes (reductions & investigations). Including multi-generational long-term Asian-Canadians where many have been the most upset (by all of this).
Beautiful interview of a beautiful person. Love her smile! ❤ She is so passionate on learning about PUNJAB . Such a great thing at the time when punjabies are turning towards western culture & leaving their own culture. True, everyone must be proud of their own language & culture.
Oh wow, Im actually scared for this one.. I messaged the recruitment center about this, didnt get an answer back yet. Im planning to get my PR and apply ASAP after getting myself settled. It just sounds crazy that I could get my PR from outside of the country (spouse sponsorship) and apply for police few months after arriving.@@zakr1ya
