I prepared for exam by watching this video only and i never read the book. I scored 19/20. Thank you so much whoever created this video.

I am in talks with an immigration lawyer for help in getting in and eventually citizenship. This video is an amazing resource. Thank you for making it. I will have to comment again when I take the test. ❤

I just want to say Thank you to the person who created this video, today I pass my exam and I got 16/20 in first attempt . Thank you so much for this helpful video

Great video I did my test now 20/20 Read book 1 time and watch this video this covers all the test Well done and thank you so much for help

This is an amazing video, thank you so much for creating and sharing it! It was really helpful in studying for the test!

? Such an eye-opening video! The northern border issue is often overlooked, but the story of how people still find ways to cross and the role sanctuary cities play is really concerning. We definitely need a better approach to keep everyone safe. Thank you for sharing this crucial information!

Wow, I asked a question in the comments about why the city leaders bend over backwards to support illegal immigrants in an earlier video and you answered! Cool, thank you for all of your insight!!

Canada be ready for the tariff that may will go higher than 25% thanks to the woke Justin liberal/NDP and they called themselves a good close neighbours of USA and calling for a trade war against president Trump what a joke , thank you for this video hopping that candain watching this video since the candain media doesn't not reporting what happened in the world.

Very conservative video, coming right in time for the election. Immigrants are always an easy target, as this video shows well. At this point - Feb 2025- a lot of condos have been built in Toronto and guess what, nobody is buying!! The economy dipped with the pandemic as it happened in many other countries! When I immigrated to Canada - and I had nothing then, it was impossible to even think of buying a house, under a Conservative government. About 10 years later I was able to purchase my first home and am doing well, thank you. So are the builders in this beautiful province, close friends with the premier. I wonder if this video is independently produced - I doubt it! There are plenty of people happily living in Canada!

Thank you for your service. Many people commenting have not served or couldn't qualify anyways. She's done more badass things than most people and a lot o the hate is jealously while people playing video games or listen to Joe Rogan

Thank you for this video \nI would like to ask if a letter of invitation is compulsory to get from the family member? If yes, what if the family member is on a student visa?

Thank you for the video. I'm 33 and Partner is 30, graduating soon from his PhD. We love Canada and everything about it but weather. However, we feel increasingly bored with life here despite the fact that we live in downtown Toronto. So we think of moving to Europe or US, haven't decided yet. Depends on jobs, cost of living and crime rates.

This is an excellent video, and you are clearly a very respectful and decent person. Thank you for posting it. I only hope you will keep my comment posted here once I write it. I've written similar comments elsewhere that were automatically deleted by the person who posted the video, and I found that disheartening. I first want to address the rumour about human feces and dirty diapers being found on Canadian beaches, and I want to stand up for the people who called out Indians for doing this. Somebody saw something. Maybe they weren't able to produce any legal proof of it, but they clearly saw something, and there is nothing racist about them calling out this behaviour. This practice is not only unhygienic. It is ILLEGAL in Canada; so, it absolutely should be called out publicly to prevent it from ever happening again. I have seen many videos about the culture of mass open defection in India. The videos I saw were posted by Indians themselves. One of those videos was a TEDx talk done by a woman named Sangita Vyas who discussed the truth about open defecation and that it is not limited to only the poor population. Even people who can afford to build latrines are not using them, and she explains why after interviewing Indians to ask why. I've watched Indian doctors talk online about how many Indian children die from something as simple as diarrhea every year as a direct result of the water contamination caused by open defecation. So, clearly, open defecation is legal in India, and perhaps some of these people think if it's legal at home then it must also be legal elsewhere. WRONG. It's illegal in Canada. It's unhygienic. It should never happen. Period. And there is NOTHING racist about a Canadian saying this out loud and reminding people that they must follow the rules and laws of the country they are in.

If you can't afford designer bags and feel a certain way about expensive designer bags, then don't watch this video. Like do you read a video title before clicking on it? The title makes it clear that the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful and although I can't afford these bags yet, I know one day I will. I wanted to know which designer bag was truly worth my hard-earned money and one that I would get the most out of. That being said, if you're reading this, thank you for sharing this video with us and please make more videos like this. Maybe kislux is your next choice?

thank you very much for this honest and unbiased video. Indeed. some people have took advantage of the welcoming generosity of the Canadians. The figures in 7:37 do not lie and show you which country exploited this generosity way more than anyone else.

Well done ❤ I totally agree with all things that you guys explained in this video, moreover is the way we think as a Canadians and is something that has to be addressed. Thank you for expressing what we are thinking about this mess created by this liberal government. Even though I was a liberal myself.

This was a great video! My family and I are considering relocating to Canada from the USA, as we are dual citizens, and this helps to explain what’s really going on up there. Still very interested in moving to Canada, but will need to do more research on areas that I think are best for us. Thank you for this detailed video!

Thank you, great video. Excellent overview of the issues, which you understand better than most Canadians because you've lived thru the transition.\nWe need your pragmatic reasoning to be heard by politicians.\nI'm not anti-immigration but rather support targeted immigration. We have to make immigration work for Canada and immigrants alike. We have to increase our GDP thru targeted investments in our society.

Thank you so much for this. In spite of being born in Ontario, I learned a lot about Canada! My entire family was born and grew up either in Toronto or in the then-small towns closeby. My father moved us to upstate NY in 1957 when I was 9 years old, me kicking and screaming all the way. I was devastated to be leaving Canada, and now at 77, I've decided this life-long yearning to return to my birthplace has to become reality. I've started the process, hoping I may gain some points because I'm a former citizen :) . I still have lots of family in several provinces; people I haven't seen since we were children, and some of us are great-grandparents now. I feel strongly that I need to leave this world in the place where I began :) Thanks again for the great video!

Your video is amazing. You didn't speak from a right wing nor a left wing perspective, you spoke from an objective common good oreinted perspective. You named the issues that are affecting everyone, not certains groups! Thank you for enlightening people!

Yes.yes.yes. THANK YOU !!! I’ve been saying this for about 10 years now . East Indians are taking over everything and spoiling everything. They can’t drive too!!! Or clean, restaurants shutting down because off food poisoning. There are no true Canadians in this video ?.???? too???. REMEMBER!! NATIVES ARE THE TRUE CANADIANS IN THIS COUNTRY!! YOUR VISITORS THAT NEVER LEFT!!! ????? . I ALSO KNOW HOW IT FELLS TO BE A STRANGER IN OUR OWN HOME !! IM A TRUE NATIVE . SINCE CHRISTOFER COLUMBUS WE ALSO HAVE BEEN SAYING “TO MANY IMMIGRANTS “????

Thank you for the video! May God continue to bless you.

Great video. Thank you! My experience was a bit quite different when I arrived there in 2007. I did have support in bureaucracy and German skills. My university gave me almost free courses and scholarship payed full time courses with living cost included. I did have the luck to meet good Germans friends that helped me and made me feel included. After some years, when I wanted to pursuit a natural career path is when I found difficulties. Being promoted more than senior engineer, a manager positions or a Professor position were out of my reach because of me being different. My earnings aspirations soon reached a limit and then decided to leave to California. I have full respect and love for Germany, but there I was not able to be what I wanted to be. Now I have achieved more abroad. However, I still miss some things from my life there.

Such a realistic video. Thank you for letting the whole world know the truth about Canada!

We needed your honesty here good sir! I can't go to India and do whatever I want and that should tell you how much Indians disrespect Canada and our country. It is not a small percentage of Indians it is cultural - Indians give off an attitude of I won't be assimilating to your Canadian culture. This was the case before the opened immigration policy but they stayed in line due to the risk of their residency. Today Indians are acting like social justice warriors, protesting and making demands all the while Canadians are suffering. Indians would never stand for this if non-Indians came to India and demanded anything as immigrants. Its a double standard in general they don't have critical judgement like you display in this video. Thank you for your candid perspective!

*EXCELLENT* explanation on how we got here - minus the Liberal Party's partnership/marriage to the Century Initiative. Thank you for the info on housing, that too was great. I will spread this video around! PS, the 'breakup' today, I am not falling for it for one second, NOTHING will change except Jagmeet now gets to claim he isn't in a coalition lol. *_DO NOT TRUST THIS GOVERNMENT!_*

thank you for this balanced video. Im a 34 yr old Canadian and share the exact same view as you about this country. \nMy husband, myself and our tow kids moved to Mexico a few years ago, as well as a few friends of ours, and leaving Canada was like getting out of a toxic relationship lol Once you're out of the 'bubble' that Canada has created for it's citizens you see just how sour it has become. \nThat being said, we did move back to Canada to buy some land far north Alberta-only because we have small kids and want them to be around family-but if it was just my husband and myself we DEFINITELY would have stayed in Mexico. \nMexico feels safer, its beautiful there all over the country, the people have wonderful community and live life fully, the culture is enthralling, the food is BETTER in every way, the language (Spanish) is a fun element to life, and best of all-in Mexico, you are out of the censorship and the 'fear bubble' in Canada. You see it all over headlines, you hear it on the radio, it comes out of everyone's mouths in Canada-obsessed with 'safety' and everyone is terrified of living. Now that we're back we're very aware of it and do our best to ignore it and block it out. \n\nMoving abroad is a lot of work, but I would do it again in a heartbeat and recommend it. If you are able to, just do it.

I’m totally agree with you we came here for better life and we have to respect the country who gave us everything now days new immigrants coming and want to live they live back home feel like I’m a guest and telling the person who sheltered to change lifestyle this is so unethical behaviour.Loud music reckless driving because of this everyone else is suffering with sky high insurance policy.you said right in you video they are getting jobs but has no gratitude to say welcome or thank you .We have seen beautiful Canada ?? and we want that back .We adopted this country and culture with our warm hearts and got lots of support and love back as well .

Hi ,good day,i would like to know if it is possible for me not to include my husband and children while filling my application for work permit and permanent resident in Canada because i would like to invite them after i have settled down there. Thank you for the insightful video

Thank you sir! I believe that you gave constructive criticism that is true. I agree with your views. I think that our Canadian culture of showing respect and service with a smile is being lost with such an influx of migrants. It saddens me that I don’t see our own teens and workers in food service and other services now. Where did they go? Before you saw a mixture of all races in the workplace. Now it seems we are the minority who paid taxes for years, and cannot reap the rewards of home ownership or good healthcare or savings because we are taxed to the extreme with everyone else reaping the benefits. Our veterans deserve prime care and health benefits and they go homeless! Our indigenous people live in third world housing with no clean drinking water! This ought not to be in our beautiful and beloved country! Thank you again for this wonderful video. So appreciated by me!

Stop hiring only Indians and telling Canadians that Canadians are not allowed to get jobs in their own country and telling Canadians that Canadians are not a good fit for the Indian Culture. That is creating hatred towards Indians. Stop firing the white people that brought you to Canada and gave you a job. This is racism. Any Indian that fires all races and hires only Indian has no place in Canada. Canada is a multi cultural country. Any one that is not multicultural has no place in Canada and needs to go back to their racist countries and has no place in Canada. Thank you for speaking English in this video and respecting all Canadians in your videos you deserve respect from all Canadians. All Canadians can understand you now. Thank You.

Thank you very much for the video. I have thinking about moving to Canada from Europe. But I feel like it's not a good deal.

thank you for doing this video. we HAVE to get rid of the Trudeau government in the next election.

Thank you for making this video. I have heard these exact words from so many people lately you are not alone. The Canada we once knew and grew up in has changed significantly, not for the better I fear. Were I your age I would consider leaving but I am aging and picking up and leaving is a little more daunting than it may have been 30 years ago. Follow your heart and I look forward to your commentary and wish you luck and good fortune wherever you land. I follow your travels on Instagram and I admire your tenacity and sense of adventure.

Thank you so much for this video, please i will like to know if certifications like PHRi can be evaluated and if it will add to the score. I have a bsc and certification in PHRi with more 3 years experience. \n\nThsnk you

I just stumbled across this video. This is my first viewing of one of your videos and it was sad and painful to watch. I was born in Canada to immigrant parents. I grew up on a farm in Alberta. Listening to your memories of growing up resinated with me as that was my experience as well. Fast forward to today, my husband and I left Canada in 2022 and are currently in Mexico. We have thought about a return to Canada but the reports really don't give us hope. We will likely move again someday, but Canada isn't high on that list until something changes. I will look forward to seeing where you have chosen. Thank you for the honesty in this view.

Thank you so much for this video God bless. Pls in a situation where an unmarried partner where a child is also involved is gifting funds to sponsor the whole application and also gifted the fund in the bank statement, his he posing as a sponsor or should a letter of gift deed with receipts, his birth certificate and International passport be the only document to submit, I mean will that be enough to show as proof. I will really appreciate a response regarding this????

This is my first time viewing one of your videos, Alina. You are inspiring! Thank you for your honesty, a reality that so many of us share. My family and I moved here 26 years ago with next to nothing in terms of worldly possessions. Our kids grew up here, went to university here and, working two jobs at the same time, we were blessed to be able to buy our own home eventually. We are proudly Canadian, but so much is changing that my wife and I are considering retiring elsewhere due to financial constraints (our home is our only asset). Thank you for the video.

Thank you Alina for your video. I have lived in Canada for more than 2 decades now. Wish you the best luck for whatever you plan to do. I think it will be interesting to see video which countries you think is good to move to, comparison, advantages and disadvantages, and so on! I am waiting for your next videos!

Great video Alina and thank you for sharing your well balanced perspective. Born and raised in Canada to immigrant parents who came in 1970. I left in 1992 and came back in 2015 and left again for good in 2020 mainly due to the draconian covid restrictions. It was the best decision I ever made in my life and I have never looked back. From my point of view, Canada is beyond unrecognizable today and the leaders in Ottawa have sold the country and the people down the river along time ago and sadly the real serious Canada is nothing but a memory. I feel sorry for the immigrants who come to Canada and have a romanticized vision of the nation. They have no idea what they have gotten themselves into. I wish you all the best and I have no doubt that you will successfully shape your own path. God bless! ❤️?

Thank you for this wonderful video, Alina. I feel the same about living in California and the overall situation in the United States. The cost of living keeps on rising while the quality of life declines more and more every single day. So many young people our age (we're about the same age) who have university degrees and have good jobs struggle to pay rent or even foresee a future where they can own a home. I wish you the best of luck in this new life you will embark on. My wife and I enjoy watching your content and look forward to see where you end up.

Alina my friend thank you for the video on your update what your future plans are. I hope you will go to a place that you will love and enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing where you land. Glad that you have decided it's time to leave where it is not too costly.

Thank you for this great information ma God bless you. I just watched your video on having a standard Canadian CV and you stated we should ensure that our Canadian number is what is written in our CV. Ma what of International immigrants can we put the phone number from our home country

Hey, this video was straight to the point and informative! Thank you for this.. I’m a UK citizen planning on moving to Canada and I’m in the Marketing, Social Media and Creative field. Do you know any good recruitment agencies for this? ?

Thank you for the great video.

Thank you for the great awareness ma. My wife is a Ph.D holder of Guidance and Counselling .She has taught in Secondary school for years .I studied Electrical Engineering . She just filled this Prince Edword recruitment job now after watching this video .She loves to chat you via your email. Kind Regards

Hello Diamonds, how are you? Hope you are doing great. Thank you for the content of this video. I would really like to talk to you one-on-one because, just like you, I am also a certified trained professional educator.

I just want to say thank you for making this video. Very informative and earned a sub from me. Many Canadians are afraid of speaking of truth due to being labelled as a racist or bigot, when really the facts are right there with mass immigration and the influence of foreign landlords. We’re likely getting a new Prime Minister in Fall 2025, but fixing the disaster caused by Trudeau’s policies will be painful and take a really long time.

thank you for the video/ i am sooo tired of all these people who expect the Romans to do as they do and place unending demands / this is not what immigration was like in the past/ there is no benefit to over population/ but it seems that the goal of some of our politicians and businessmen is indeed just that/ unless perhaps they plan to send the new immigrants up to the high north where nobody wants to live/

I like the chemistry you two have, thank you for making this down to earth, relatable video
