It sounds like it's Canada wide. In Ontario the majority of minimum wage jobs are Indians. Even where I work, teams are made up of majority Indians and there are talks of having teams set up there. I've been seeing people say the same across Canada. It's put a lot of pressure on young first generation Canadians who are competing for their first job against applicants who have professional careers or resumes with fake jobs since it's hard to verify jobs if they're in another country. I can't imagine the stress of being a 17 year old kid today trying to enter the job market. Especially in cities where new immigrants migrate towards.

I worked at a crown corporation which I cannot name for the past year as a consultant.

About 90% of the IT employees were South Asians. Mostly Indians. Few of which were actually in India.

And this is for a company that's critical for the Canadian economy.

If crown corporations have to operate for profit.. They might do things that make profit. Like outsourcing offshore. 🤐 Or if they're directed to find 15% savings. 👀
