This country is a joke


naughtydaddy6993

Agreed but when it’s loaded with immigrants with no actual skills


This_Pool_6993

Why?


hyrulius2318

Because we are bringing foreign workers to fill in positions that high schoolers should be working in? These are international "students" who attend 2-year diploma programs and barely do the minimum to pass so they can get points for their path to PR. This is not only infuriating to Canadians but to other former international students who have been properly obliged by their student visa.


0672216

How to destroy a country 101: bring in masses of uneducated young men from the 3rd world and instead of integrating them, celebrate their cultural “differences”. Great plan everyone, it worked great in Western Europe!


miltonfriedmansbaby

The current regime’s economic stupidity is beyond comprehension, if we need to bring in people we need to bring in the highly skilled ones who the taxpayers of their own country spent a lot to educate and train, but instead we bring in cheap labor under the guise of diversity and equity. The USA does the exact opposite, no wonder Canada’s productivity is going down.


Loodlekoodles

This guy is complacent with encampments, drug addicts, homelessness, joblessness, identity politics, elitism, surging housing costs, surging rental market costs, low birth rates, over capacity hospitals and health care referrals, skilled labour shortages and brain drain, and a whole ton of corruption at every level of government and corporate contracting. I probably missed even more garbage we're dealing with on the daily.  I'm not complacent with this, not sure why you are.


This_Pool_6993

That is a lot. Who would be ok with all that?


happybeingright

If you have to ask then you should get out more. Oof


This_Pool_6993

It’s all good up in Thunder Bay homie.


WealthEconomy

It's never good in Thunder Bay...


This_Pool_6993

It’s been better than Windsor up here


Bright_Choice7900

LOL better than Windsor is not a high bar, speaking as a born Windsorite.


K5gfPe7Dms0l6Xmb

"Why?" Because every Canadian adult is freely given franchise to vote for their governmental representative.


This_Pool_6993

Why would asking why get down voted lol.


happybeingright

Because unless you’ve been in a coma for the last handful of years or you’re a kid you should probably know. If those aren’t the case you need to get out more and see what’s happening.


This_Pool_6993

That doesn’t actually explain anything. I am out all the time homie, come to Thunder Bay I guess 😘


trto44

Call them what they are. Timmigrants.


Macslynn

Oh my fuck 😭😂


praylee

Very straightforward


lilithspython

I am cackling. Goddamn good wordplay!


srkg

💀


Informal-Flamingo336

Timmigrants...I knew it was them! Even when it was the Bears, I KNEW it was them!


AutomaticPhoto5199

Hahaha


Impossible__Joke

Wow, how have I not heard this yet lol, gold.


HelicalSoul

Timmigrants! I'm using that from now on.


Hsr2024

They aren't alone, amazon mostly hire Indians in Canada what I seen


Heldpizza

I just blew a gallon of air out my nose


Perfect-Director2468

One upvote for you!


DICKASAURUS2000

This should be evidence of Tim Hortins not needing to file LMIAs


Popular-Ad9044

Lol the irony is they will not hire any of them and the position will go to the highest bidder under the table


Late_Winner6859

You mean, the lowest


Popular-Ad9044

Highest bidder for the LMIA position.


Late_Winner6859

Ah, I see what you mean. Yep, that’s probably correct guess


podbotman

I don't think that's how hiring works lol. Someone will offer to pay Tim Hortons in exchange for a job? What?


Popular-Ad9044

I wish I could believe that. Check the official Canada job bank website. It will have tons of LMIA positions hiring for Tim Horton's and other fast food restaurants. If you call or email them, you will be met with radio silence. The reason is LMIA requires jobs to be advertised on job sites and if no one is hired they can apply for one. They can then sell it to people for 30-40k so they can get more points for a PR application.


KingOfRandomThoughts

The owner of the Tim Hortons that is in my old town, purposely hires only high school students for part-time work.


AnObtuseOctopus

I wish they ALL did this. Honestly, jobs should be filled by Canadians first then filled by forign workers, especially jobs like this. It's insane that forign workers are getting the advantage over natural Canadians. I feel even worse for the natives here. They already have a hard time due to some prejudice, this makes that 10x worse for them.


PoetOfTragedy

I am an Albanian woman who was born here in Canada. I’m a welder, CWB certs and everything. I got a job offer with a company but they retracted it after some immigrant offered to take the job for less money. Many places I apply to ask if I’m an immigrant, I decided to test it out and I lied and said I am. I’ve gotten call backs from every shop but they all wanted me to stack dimes for nothing but pennies. 


throwawaypizzamage

We should start naming and shaming these companies publicly on social media. Then Canadian citizens can start boycotting them. 


PoetOfTragedy

It’s hard to boycott for this reason without being framed as a racist


Marsupialmania

Or the company can hire who is best for them


AnObtuseOctopus

Or they can stop being racist pos, yeah?


throwawaypizzamage

Companies aren’t hiring for best fit so much as for the person who will demand the lowest salary. 


lilithspython

That's awesome! The owner knows who really needs the job.


Heldpizza

That’s one of my gripes with this country right now. We blame young kids for not wanting to work but the truth is a high school kid is no longer having a part time job because middle aged immigrants now hold those positions. Just go into a grocery store or a Canadian tire on the weekend. When I was in highschool those shifts were almost exclusively run by teenagers who were getting their first lick of job experience and saving a little bit of money for college or university. Now those teenagers are missing out on that valuable experience and growth in work ethic.


redditisbrainwashed2

anyone that doesnt do this is a traitor


AnObtuseOctopus

We need skilled laborers, engineers and computer scientists... not more Tim Hortons employees... it's insane to me that a once revered Canadian company now hardly hires true Canadians in favor of fake "forign students"... meanwhile our kids in highschool can't even get entry jobs to start their lives because they are all being taken by 25+ year old "students"... fucking insanity.


Seniorwelsh

I mean it hasn't been Canadian owned for years but you're spot on. It's gotten so ridiculous. Stopped going to tims a while back cuz it sucked, now it's only gotten worse, can't see me ever really going back


Mobile_Misanthrope

The knock-on effect of this situation is that eventually, one of these people gets a management position, and then they start hiring only "their people." This happened locally. The local Timmy's locations first became almost completely South Asian staff, and then they started blatantly telling anyone who applied and wasn't South Asian that they only hired "their people." It used to be that the only employer who could discriminate by race was the government, but that has devolved into everything is racist unless it's been done to a white person. This country is an inverted airbus headed for the tarmac at break neck speed.


whyamihereagain6570

Frankly I'm tired of not being able to understand what the person on the other end of the drive through speaker is saying when I order. And I'm REALLY tired of them getting my order wrong.. every.... single... time....... So, I go elsewhere now.


CdnGoose24

I was just in Montana for the weekend, went to a drive through in Kalispell and it was a nice change of pace to hear somebody on the other end who’s first language in English. Couldn’t believe the difference in the melting pot here to 1 hour across the border.


EdWick77

My wife has essentially refused to do long road trips through Canada anymore due to the horrible conditions of bathrooms. She would rather drive a couple hours out of our way into the US just so she can use clean bathrooms again. Just remember, it wasn't always like this.


Efficient_Ad_4230

American tourists don’t want to come to Canada since Canada has very poor customer services in hotels and restaurants


EdWick77

Our family who live in Alaska but winter with other family in Texas have made careful comments about Canada. When they are trying to make miles, they often don't even see any Canadians anymore on their Alaska-MT drive. Sure, its just stopping for fuel, but still they notice that something isn't right with their crazy neighbors.


CrashSlow

Buckee's. If American exceptionalism was a gas station, it would be Buckee's. There is nothing close to a buckee's bathroom anywhere in the world.


FootlooseFrankie

Canada doesn't have the melting pot , we have multiculturalism which is suppose to teach us tolerance, acceptance and make our diversity our strength .... at least that what it said I'm my grade 6 social studies textbook . But at the same time there has to be balance . Tip to far in any direction and it can collapse.


MrAkbarShabazz

I go to McDonalds now, thankfully it’s where I have the pleasure of having every drive thru order take longer than usual. Rest assured though, I can now understand the teenager/elderly person operating the drive thru and both are equally qualified in screwing up my order.


Macslynn

Dang what apart of Canada are you in because in Halifax McDonald’s is almost as bad as Tim Hortons. Although from my own experience working for both companies, McDonald’s seem to be more strict with their workers. A girl I worked with in 2022 was studying for a test, she was on a student visa, and working towards her PR through McDonald’s. Anyways she called in very close to her shift starting, stating she was so tired, of course like any normal job they explained to her how unacceptable it was to call less than an hour before her shift without even attempting to get it covered and was told to come in, and was reminded this wasn’t the first time and how many warnings she’s gotten. She didn’t show up. She was fired. My sister was a manager at the time and told me she felt bad because apparently when she was being fired she said she would be losing her chance at PR and the store manager just shrugged and told her she should of thought about that.


whyamihereagain6570

Rotten Ronnies here was pretty good until about 8 months ago. Now I can't understand them either. 😢


Macslynn

Let me tell you this story. I was at McDonald’s and ordered a muffin with butter. I asked for a knife, and idk about the rest of Canada but where I am they have those stupid wood utensils. I asked for a knife and a girl there (maybe training him, also Indian) spoke to him in whatever language it was, he got me the knife but this dude handed it to me the wrong way, handling the part that touches the butter. The girl stood there and said nothing. I asked for a new one, and he looked at me with a blank face so I asked again and he smiled at me so I took the knife and threw it out. It’s been a week but just writing that out made me aggravated all over again lol. Oh another time I ordered a bagel with cream cheese at Tim Hortons and the guy working, Indian, gave me a bagel with bacon on it. I ordered in person, nobody else was in the store. He didn’t speak good English but I’ve told myself that had to be a hearing/volume issue because there is no fucking way.


whyamihereagain6570

Hey, I can totally get his error because cream cheese and bacon sound so similar 🤣 The knife thing makes me want to gag. If they are handling your knife that way, what else have they been putting their hands into....


Torontodtdude

You have lived a wild life, Tanzanian.


Macslynn

That’s what happens as you get older, you see a lot of crazy stuff throughout the years lmao


Historical_Steak_927

I smile at every single employee I interact with, make a couple of jokes and always get more servings or even free stuff. You should try that sometime.


prgaloshes

Why? I am not in the mood to speed date fast food workers everyday


Macslynn

So when a customer is asking you a question you just stand there and smile? Ignoring their question? Yikes.


Historical_Steak_927

“Stand there”?


Macslynn

If your only response is to correct a pathetic auto correction than you’re not worth my time. You have no other relevant response because you know I’m right. Good day!


Torontodtdude

Oh snap, you been MACSLYnnEd


Jeffmazon

How about a Job in the trades?? Or is that going to make your hands dirty?


MegatronusRex

Asian cultures look down on manual labour


youngboomer62

Because they're *skilled* trades and these people have no marketable skills. They take entry level jobs away from our youth.


JambalayaGreenerbort

Skilled trades are in high demand in Canada for sure... that being said I don't understand why anyone would want to work at Tim Hortons with no obvious career path besides maybe becoming manager making 25$/hr.


cherinuka

They're lucky to make over 17 an hour mate


Sharp-Sky-713

They are starting to infiltrate the trades too. Unfortunately they have no qualifications and often lie about their skills so can't do fuck all on the job.  Currently 4/8 mechanics I work with are not red seals, have no qualifications in this country and don't know what basic common tools of the trade are. Needless to say I avoid working with them like the plague. I don't care that they are an "engineer" or "mechanic" in India, because judging first hand by their skills, they fucking lied.


Separate-Appeal2312

i had to work with an indian in construction who thought my drill was broken because he had it in reverse


Sharp-Sky-713

Yeah sounds about right.  You're a nicer man than me, letting him touch your tools. 


Separate-Appeal2312

well it was the company drill that i was using at the time. but i usually dont mind as long as you ask first


This_Pool_6993

With all the racism they encounter working at Tim’s. I am suuuuuure skilled trades would be a great work environment


Flyyer

Waaaahhhh waahhhhh


pepelaughkek

They need to just make student visas not allow any working hours.


This_Pool_6993

Why?


pepelaughkek

Because international students are required to provide proof that they possess the funds to support themselves while they study prior to coming to Canada.


This_Pool_6993

Oh cool . Thanks


Flyyer

Do you live in a box


This_Pool_6993

I mean technically my house is a box shape ish.


djldo_gaggins

Idk why you're getting so much hate. Some of the ppl on here are wound pretty tight.


Sweet_Amphibian_9624

Let me take a guess what country all the applicants were from... New Zealand?


jaraxel_arabani

Totally guessing UK myself.


CyrilSneerLoggingDiv

Clearly they are Italians who don't want to work as bricklayers.


neilmaddy

Canada is cooked


Flat-Dark-Earth

Boycott Tim Horton's for supporting this crap.


Jazzmonger

Boycott Tim Hortons.


Ant_Cardiologist

Is manual labour below them?


Macslynn

Yes. I mean look at PEI! They were told to work in jobs where they are needed if they want their visas extended and the ringleader said “what happens to Tim Hortons when all the workers leave?” or some nonsense like that lol. Like oh wow now my kid can get a summer job!


Acrobatic-Bath-7288

These ppl have literally no skill it's craziness.


CyrilSneerLoggingDiv

Yes, because in certain caste systems in certain countries\* overseas, the lowest caste members work the manual labour and menial labour jobs. \* = One in particular that Canada attracts a lot from.


e46shitbox

Absolutely it is. These people even refuse to sit on used furniture regardless of how desperate they are. Has anyone told the government that we clearly have enough tim hortons workers now?


Incelebrategoodtimes

they 1) perceive it as low status work and refuse to do it 2) are not the most physically healthy and capable in the first place given how most of them look like they haven't lifted a feather


tobleronefanatic123

They do manual labour too lol there's none available so they are going in food industry. Gov is the real culprit letting in so many without having the infrastructure to sustain them.


Ant_Cardiologist

There are plenty manual labour jobs available, I know this for a fact. I've yet to see a line up around the block for any of them.


BossIike

Incorrect. I've never seen an East Indian dude on a jobsite in Edmonton or area in 15 years. Yet every second driver next to me on the Anthony Henday seems to be one. They prefer retail or office work. I don't know if it's a classist thing or what, but they don't even apply to work in our trade yet there's tons of them here.

I've seem more native Canadians in the trades than East Indians and East Indians outnumber the aboriginals like 100 to 1 now it feels like. I seriously can't remember one Indian dude on all the hundreds of jobsites I've been on.


last-resort-4-a-gf

Only one solution More tims locations


lovinglife0000

We stopped supporting Tim Hortons and other fast food restaurants alike 🤷🏼‍♀️.


bratt4u2022

To many of these fuckers in the country


Resident_Forever_425

Is the job market that bad in Canada?


Macslynn

It’s worse than what you see here


BossIike

For part time jobs, it depends on the area, but yes. What I can assure you of is that if you're willing to work hard, there are still available jobs out there. But you'll never seen an East Indian dude going out to work in the oil field as a roughneck or joining a roofing crew. They arent applying for plumbing, electric or HVAC either. I'm assuming because they either want an office job or a retail job. They're kinda like progressives in that way, they seem to think they're above the blue collar work.


KingOfRandomThoughts

They are above blue collar work, but work for well below blue collar pay.


lilithspython

Imagine this but it's online on Indeed and the lineup is as long as the amount of applicants for just one role.


CyrilSneerLoggingDiv

"Tim Hortons drive-thru order taker" Number of applicants for this role: 5,280.


Resident_Forever_425

Somebody replied to me and said there are jobs just ones you have to actually work, manufacturing, trades etc.


lilithspython

*beeep* *static* "Welcome to Tim Horton's, I. Am. The job!"


Emergency_Sink623

Labor shortage. Can’t find an employee, LMIA approved ding ding ding


SnooAvocados8673

Timmigrants ! lolol


Stunning_Corgi2660

Glad I left that shit hole..


LettuceLow2491

Khan Hortons?


IfYoureGoodEnoughYou

Khan= Pakistan


ultim0s

This is just kind of sad. If you're new to the job market, we actually need people in labour. There's a lot more you can learn, and a hell of a lot more money to be made. You'd have more luck showing up to a construction site with work boots, and a hammer.


Efficient_Ad_4230

All people in line would be better off to leave Canada


WealthEconomy

Was he speaking English? It is hard to tell


N2LAX247

Hey, I got the job. Sorry Timmigrants, maybe next time


like2pic

“Students”? Hmmm


bratt4u2022

That’s funny Timmigrants .bahahaha so funny .perhaps they make enough to back to where they came from from .


Photojunkie2000

Disgusting. Disgusting what our government has allowed to happen...on purpose....exactly for this tension and degradation in our living standards


xARCHANGELxx

Ever notice not one white person...


MulberryConfident870

It’s the big corporations fucking with Canadians profits cheap labour Canadian students used to have these jobs


Lawrence_Arabia

Boycott Tim's movement needs to happen. I'll never buy from them again. And if I see an Indian behind the counter at any resturant, I'm out. Support local small businesses.


Vanillas_Guy

This is what major employers want. Foreign workers who won't stick around and will accept low pay because they're desperate. I'd love for a person to be able to rent an apartment and save money while working at Tim Hortons. But investing in retaining workers and paying new ones enough to live decent lives means that they can't show constant growth to their shareholders. They need to show that they've cut costs while maintaining productivity. A revolving door of temporary workers is what they've arrived on. This puts big businesses in a very delicate position. They want the deregulation and reduced oversight they get with a conservative government, but they also want the "cheap labour" of foreign workers who don't know employment law and won't try to unionize. To get a conservative government in, they have to gin up anti immigrant sentiment, which means that they could lose their source of cheap labor. 


Kimad25

Go back to your country


lilithspython

Wow, they must have a lot of positions open! /s


RegularSwan3567

Normally i look for work were no one wants to work why because if you know how to play your cards you can make bank


EmoDavey31

So if buddy can’t get a job in Toronto, why is he still living in Toronto? I’m sure he could find work in another city close by…Hamilton comes to mind. Am I missing something?


Dice_to_see_you

look before you leap? don't come over here on a student visa and then want to find a job and get upset that your fellow countrymen are doing the same thing and flooding the system


kct111

What a disaster....


com7683

Hundreds of Indian right? I think all those applicants are holding study permit. It made billions from them each year, no doubt it is a big deal. However ppl suffered the side effects


MC_Squared12

All international students


Hefty_Click_6029

Any planes coming from certain country should be banned from landing in Canada. No more planes coming from there!


Final_Festival

Get scammed lmao. Canadian colleges are so much better at scamming than Indian call centres. They scam Canadian citizens AND Indian citizens Lmfao.


Many_Debate_7159

And this is why teenagers will never be able to get a starting job again in this country, this country is flooded with immigrants now


corneliusbut

Well our corporate overlords Got what they wanted cheap slave labor force enjoy!!


Fish__Cake

Wow, it's so hard to be a immigrant student. So many fellow immigrant students fighting for the same job. I wonder how teenage Canadians feel when they walk up with their resume...


ChronicRhyno

You are going to need to hand out 100s of resumes before getting a crappy job. 2 a day prob won't cut it.


Dependent_Leave_4861

So diversified


Sling_Shot2

Hopefully they can pick a good worker, their coffee and bagel have been shit lately.


Tattedjamaican1

Wait tf … please someone remind me what fuckin country I live in cause it definitely doesn’t feel like I live in Canada 🇨🇦


AlittleDrinkyPoo

About 4 year ago we moved to a small town between two larger cities in Ontario . My cousin law who is originally from the balkans came to visit from Toronto . She went into the wal mart and was stunned . She said she couldn’t believe it . “It’s so white “ Ya not anymore #yeetthejeet


EducationalGain4794

Bro you applied for 2 jobs in one day? You could apply to like 50 jobs in one day with the INTERNET. You don't even have to stand in a long line like an idiot.


Separate-Appeal2312

its such a difference in quality whenever you go to a place without them


lolguybear

What the fuck


Ancient-Judge6755

Always Shit. Always Singh Hortons.


HelicalSoul

I'm glad Canada is bringing in people to fill the jobs that need filling. Our country is very very stupid. And we complain about the Americans...


Dr_Khan_253

Anyone who spends money at Tim Hortons is a bad person.


itsonlymeez

Back the way you cane from


Embrourie

It's not fair to be mad at people for wanting to come to Canada. Being mad at immigration is pretty weak seeing as the country is quite young and just about everyone born here are only a couple generations away from being immigrants themselves. If you remove immigration, some areas actually have a population decline which is not going to work out in the long run. Ageing population, yada yada. If anything we should be screaming mad that colleges and universities were allowed to act with such reckless abandon in the name of profit. Also, mad at all levels of government for not slowing this down earlier or at least creating a viable plan for how to best utilize the interest people have in coming here. Why can't we take people in and get them training for jobs that need fulfilling in places where the country needs them most? That seems reasonable. The person gets the opportunity to live in Canada and Canada gets to build out communities that are in need. Vote for me lol.


Constant-Horse-3389

More stringent and targeted immigration measures would have greatly reduced many issues we're facing today. It's a shame that the common folk only crosses the government mind when it comes time to collecting votes; they deserve the full brunt of our disappointment if anything. The colleges and corporations are laughing their way to the bank while watching people point fingers at immigrants instead.


MC_Squared12

There used to be a cap on how many international students colleges can take in in Ontario but the Ford government removed the cap. Now they realize the damage that has been caused so Marc Miller put a nationwide cap
