WHY? I can always ask that proverbial question why and why again?
Why not? You know that under former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, this wont happen ever!
Why Canada is very generous to countries with ties to terrorist groups? They helped the Syrians, Afghans and at present time they want to provide financial aid to Palestine , no questions asked they also helped Ukraine with billions of dollars in financial help. Nothing's wrong with their generosity! It is a noble deed, indeed.
However...
This is what it is reality in Canada:
If you are FIRST NATIONS (or Indigenous), CANADIAN BORN CITIZENS, PERMANENT RESIDENTS, CHINESE or FILIPINOS WHO LOOKED LIKE CHINESE: You are the most scrutinized people in Canada. Racism played a part in Canada.
You need help from Canada or help from its Ministry?
Carding is much needed. You are being scrutinized from head to foot. RACISM? How and why?
You have to provide all these requirements:
1. NOA or Notice of Assessment: Information that you are Canadian taxpayers or you had file income tax return (It's not enough that you pay GST & PST) Carbon tax? You don't believe? Ask the info from the CRA!!!!!!
2. You must provide two months of bank statements from your bank. Ask info from the bank!!!!!!! You are to do your work MINISTRY!!!!!!!!
My husband and I worked for Realty Company before, my hubby worked as a Resident Manager for townhouses/apartments we did our checking too of those applicants for tenancy. If they presented their ID cards, they presented source of income, where they worked or retired we had to do checking by the references they submitted. If they are working and had written down the company where they worked, that has to be checked. We are not having that hissy fit like we are after them relentlessly as in pursuit. If the applicant is sponsored by the Ministry then we have to call the Ministry. Why would someone asked for bank statements? We don't ask for applicants on bank statements or credit cards nor their SIN cards.
3. You must provide information from your investment company or where the other source of your income. Being a retired person is not enough explanation. They want to know your OAS, CPP and how much you are receiving. (Retired people received fixed income). Not enough explanation. Go find it yourself to ask the Government of Canada why CPP & OAS IS TOO SMALL FOR CANADIAN TAXPAYERS & CANADIAN BORN who worked so hard since after World War II.
ASK THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA WHY CPP & OAS IS TOO SMALL for Canadians to enjoy their retirement? The retirement benefits in Philippines is getting higher compared to Canada. While those who didn't work and pay single cents in taxation process here in Canada are receiving $1,000/month in benefit. Unfair right?
And you wonder why Alberta's Premier Hon. Danielle Smith wants out of CPP and wants to change Alberta's Health Care System.
4. You must provide two ID. Even them (workers for the Ministry) not able to represent themselves who they are because they are "masked."
5. You must provide information that you are a house owner or tenant by providing Shelter/Rental Information. You gave them the info still not able to believe. OMG! Why don't you interview the house-owner? Doing investigative report, you must do your own duty to ask or interview the owner of the house!!
It seems that the Non-Canadian residents are more valuable than the people who live here in Canada. It seems that the people outside of Canada are to be trusted than its own people because they are not Canadians? Weird right? Who are these people working in the Ministries? Is the government of Canada under "infiltration zone?" Then we have to call the CIA & PENTAGON to find that out.
Is Canada CANADA? Are the true Canadians not Canadians because the people behind those Canadian Ministries are infiltrated?
