Here in uk its the same

I spent 10 months in India the place is a disgrace ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️ Canada will,be the same way soon. The same as what happened with the UK…..

I agree with you but this corrupt Canadian immigration and police are responsible for the same . Are they nuts when they conduct a interview in their embassy in India. Who is responsible. And there is not 10%, but more so no wanted in socialized uneducated portion of the population who are not only in Canada it's US, UK, Europe, Russia. And why Indians have to celebrate their festivals on streets there. Stop this nonsense and obey the culture of the country where you goto live.

It’s the Indian Gen Z entitlement wherever they go. They have the same attitude in the UK though they are on student visa.

cost of living not neccesarlity due to immigration, as in the uk im sure there would be an issue with housing without immigration, landlords are getting greedy, and mortgaes are up, its not the immigranst fault. If a lawyer cant afford a rental its cos he has some spendingissues, same as the guy livign in a tent earing a rolex.cccmonnn

Having a canadian passport does not make you real Canadian. Its your assimilation to the culture. Every where I go you Indians are the same. Europe, Singapore and south east asia countries , MIddle East ,USA, UK. You have common things , you dont respect the culture, you bring your garbage culture, dont asssimilate. You dont have respect for women. OMG you idiots take picture of women in the beach , perverted culture. You don't queue . You spit everywhere , throw your garbage out of the car. Lack of hygiene. Nepotism in the company.

The same here in Uk immigration what’s happening ? ?? bse their intention was not to study but get settlement which is wrong!

Good for Canada, finally they have woken up and realize they are taking in too many people and they have no housing or government services to match the numbers. Australia also did the same and many EU countries too and the UK. Party over, back to reality boys and girls...

Its the same in UK over run we are

when Canada decided to become the 51st state of the US, it is not a good place to live any more ! Canadian government follows the US policies and messes up the economy of Canada, the gov no longer serves the Canadian !\nAs a matter of fact, any country whose Gov acts a close alliance of US is experiencing the same problem in Canada, or even worse, like the UK.

This sounds EXACTLY like the UK, almost as if it's planned. I'm nomadic too and have been for 5 years and feel the exact same way about my home, the UK. I have decided I will probably retire or spend my older years somewhere in South east asia.

Same problem in the UK

Protection of Language is important. The problem with expectation of English is because people are used to migrating to US and UK. You should speak basic German the same way people learn English to move to the aforementioned countries. Why a different perspective when it comes to Germany? This is a biased view from a English speakers perspective. I understand the initial struggle but usually people don’t learn even the basics and expect English, which is ignorant. I am actually Indian and have been living in Germany.

I went to Germany for my Masters at one of their top universities, back then (10 years ago) taken in by their great public image and a personal interest in Germany history and culture. Looking back now having also experienced living in the UK, HK and Sweden thereafter, I can understand why Germany has trouble attracting the top talents, or any ambitious individuals seeking to develop their career overseas.\n\nIt doesn't provide the money.\nIt doesn't provide a dynamic enough market and opportunities.\nIt doesn't provide the same type of diversity and excitement in truly world-class cities like London, HK etc. Don't get me started on food.\nEverything is functional but that seems to be the sole standard to aspire to. \nGermans are not the people whom you can bond easily. Sincere and friendly many are, but the amount of effort needed to even crack beyond that shell is ridiculous. In this respect I think most north europeans are quite cold and distant. But working with Germans you need to also handle their 'honesty', intensity and directness on top of that. The lack of nuance rubs a lot of people in the wrong way. \n\nThe Germans whom I met and spent their formative years overseas are fantastic. Invariably none of them would have thought of moving back.

Same issue in the UK, but if you talk about it, you go to jail ??‍♂️

There is nowhere to go. UK EUROPE, AUSTRALIA are all passing the same laws in Parliament, concerted.. This is global in scope

Same problems here in the Uk that have been described in this video.\nIts all most as if this shit is planned.

l am watching this in 2024, and wondering why the uk government doesn't have the same stance today with the Muslim community. THey are a push over and have no backbone. THey are rarely prosecuted or arrested for the crimes they commit forever crying ans screaming victim. Oh yes l know why. Nearly 2 million illegal migrants have arrived in dribs and drabs by the boats in the last two years and this is an INVASION not managed migration.,

Soon and in UK... pretty much the same laws from the Labour Gov!

Don't bother with the UK, sadly. It's the same here. Mass immigration has suppressed wages and made most of our town and cities look like downtown Mogadishu. Pride in the country and your neighbourhood has gone, made worse by rampant woke indoctrination in schools and the workplace. Now we have an authoritarian/totalitarian government in charge (big majority on a third of the vote! and only half the electorate bothered to vote). The government and MSM demonise anyone raising their voice as 'far right' and the so-called 'police' patrol twitter and FB for 'hurty words' whilst leaving the streets to thugs, layabouts and Islamists. It doesn't even resemble what it was like in 2022, never mind 2020! I would leave, but where do you go. Also, it is my home.

you do realise the exact same thing is happening in the UK, right ?

I live in Serbia and know expats from the USA, Canada, UK and Australia \nAll the places are the same but Canada and England seem to be even worse. \nCome to Belgrade Serbia ?? there's a great expat community. Safe place to live and nice people

The West overall is going through same:\n - Very expensive housing in major cities.\n - Expensive groceries.\n - Declining population.\n - Shortage of workforce.\n - Faltering healthcare, long wait times.\n\nThis is pretty much the story from Canada, US, UK or anywhere in Europe especially in Germany, Netherlands. All is not gloom and doom though, certain trends might slow down and some might reverse because things can't stay the same forever and something has to give.

Somehow Poland accepted Ukrainian refugees with open arms. And why yes, some commit crimes and behave in unbecoming ways but vast majority learned to speak polish,work polish jobs and uphold cultural and social norms. Having lived in migrant-rich places in UK and Scandinavia, this is simply not the case with migrants from Islamic countries. Their culture, heavily influenced by religion, doesn't have the same values, promotes seclusion from unbelievers and using unbeliever's resources at will because they see non-muslims as beneath them.There are Muslim women in Sweden who are there for 20+ years and speak NONE of the language. The epidemic of sexual abuse , property crime and gang violence, the statistics about learning the language, culture, statistics about employment, even personal interviews are good enough proof that majority of these migrants aren't willing to uphold our rules, our culture and are NOT going to be suitable citizens of Europe. Why should we be paying for people who gleefully admit to not wanting to work and feeling entitled to social benefits? Only France and UK were colonial empires, the rest of Europe had NOTHING to do with the state of Middle East.\nWe sympathise with people wanting to escape from religious fundamentalism, from fear of retribution for their identity and there are separate programmes for them. However we have every right not to want Islam and it's rules and it's fanatics anywhere close - religion is a remnant of the middle age and religious fundamentalism, be it Christian of Muslim is nothing more than an excuse to be hateful and bigoted. Europe has worked hard to free itself from that kind of mentality, to have majority of people who genuinely believe in things like gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, disabled rights, right to healthcare, equality under law and so on - vast majority of which are not compatible with what vast majority of practicing Muslims believe. They don't like us, they don't like the way we behave and dress, they don't want to live like us and follow the same rules- why are they here if not for the resources? If they were there for human rights issues, they wouldn't be bringing the opressive faith that is the source of the human rights violations in their homeland.

Been following your channel since the 'Dating Beyond Borders' Vid...8 years ago ... The story you tell is exactly the same for many of us here in the UK now. The country I grew up in has gone to complete ratshit in the past 20 years. I had the opportunity to become a Canadian citizen 10 years ago through marriage, but never went through with it. In hindsight I'm so glad I didn't move to Ontario now thanks to the way Canada is governed. \nI put money on you moving to Thailand ? as its quite easy for 'Digital Nomads'...... \nMe, I think I'll stay in the UK and go down with the ship. ?

Damn...I've been considering a move to Canada from London UK (part of the reason why I found your channel). I've been hearing so many people are leaving because it's not the same as it used to be. It's sad to hear because Canada felt like one of the really good places left to start a life in.

Beautiful story and very sad, the same is happening here in the UK, the western world isn't great anymore but is the grass any greener? Curious to follow your journey!

I moved from the UK to Canada 28 years ago. It was great for 26 years to Mr. Trudeau ruined Canada. I could see it go downhill exactly the same as Britain so I’ve got out apply your government letting too many people in everything is so expensive Now I’m living the dream in Thailand and by the way, Canada is still texting me taxes on taxes

It happening all over the west, here in the UK ?? its not the immigrants that's suffering its the British people, we are a small country about the same size as Texas, the British people have taken all they can and are sick of it....

Shouldn't the Guardian be able to ask the same question about the same issue in the UK

Same reasons as in the UK.

Same in the UK . Same in all the west. Why, why, why do those in power ignore this? What is their game? Or is it just fear?

And Canada is way larger than the UK. Unchecked immigration and immigration in general is not ok, especially where infrastructure has not developed enough to cope with even reasonable immigration. UK is facing the same/similar problems. The fact that this is happening in many Western countries suggests there’s an agenda. Either that or the authorities are incompetent. I stand with you Canadian people. With love, hope and peace from the UK.

Exactly the same as in the uk

For the same reason that it's rising in the UK- there's too much of it.

Same leaders in the US, UK, and Canada = Same problems in the US, UK, and Canada.

The same situation in UK and USA ?

This exact same scenario is being played out in the UK, the Republic of Ireland and many EU countries.\nThe government hush it all up and do nothing about it.\nWe're absolutely sick and tired of uncontrolled legal immigration and zero attempts at stopping the illegal migration via the small boats.

Same thing in the USA, same thing in UK, same thing in Ireland, same thing in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, France, etc ............. Those in power are wanting to replace the low birth rates with new people in these markets... New voters in those markets who can be manipulated, controlled, isolated in their tribes of origin... And let us not forget about religious blending in a international governance manner....

Are there no laws in Canada?? As part of UK, one would expect Canada to have the same level of integrity and laws to protect the needy and helpless

For the same reason why is rising in UK. Get your backyard in order before you are nosing in others’

For the same reasons in the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Greece, Turkey... you want more, leftie lovers?

Governments in Canada tax housing construction to the point that 50% of the cost is tax. That's a major reason for the lack of supply. Governments are destroying Canada and calling anyone\nwho complains racists\n Apparently, the same problem exists in the UK. Must be that WEF CoolAid.

UK is the same. Immigrants are housed in hotels with free food and heating while locals are trying to stay alive with EAT or HEAT decisions on a daily basis. GO FIGURE politicians.

Same problem in the UK and the US.

Same happening here in the UK

Same crap going on here in uk . Wide open border .

The reason is that the Canadian right-wingers are using immigration in the same way that the right-wingers use it in the US and the UK.

The same reason it’s on the rise in the UK ??

Why is the Guardian interested in Canada when it outright ignores the same issues in the UK and labels anyone with an opinion as ‘far-right’? Meanwhile they play down a UK councillors (Labour) comments inciting violence. Two tier journalism.
