‘State of shock’: As Canada ramps up immigration, unsuspecting newcomers are running into inflation shock from soaring prices

A year after hearing “welcome home” for the first time at the Canadian border, Shahzad Gidwani found himself questioning whether he and his wife made the right decision to start a new life here.

The timing wasn’t ideal, arriving in Toronto from India with their son just as the pandemic began sweeping the globe. Yet the 53-year-old held high hopes for his family’s future. He was bringing with him decades of international work experience in sales and marketing, and a master’s degree in business from the U.S.


You mean inflation from the soaring prices of the housing shortage they’re helping create?

Why are they here? I don’t think Canada has a massive shortage of “sales and marketing” people with or without dime a dozen “masters degrees” either.
