Why did your parents migrate to Canada if no one wants to live in Canada? And why don't you move out?

As a foreigner I don’t see the appeal to leave in Canada anymore, I’m leaving the country permanently by the end of the year, won’t ever come back to North America, it’s a mess

Hello fellow Canadians, I'm from a 3rd world country, and my dream has always been to immigrate to Canada, I'm currently a pharmacy student with 1 year left until graduation, and 2 years of preparation, seeing the comment has scared me a lot, can you please provide your advice and opinion? Thank you

In Austria/EU housing is also very difficult even though probably not nearly as bad as in Canada. But this had brought people in 2 major cities (Graz and Innsbruck) to elect the local communist (communist! not socialist or social democratic! ) party as their city governments just because they were the only one that believably fight the housing crisis

Lets not divide Canada any more shall we? Most of our ancestors are not even Canadian ffs!

I love Canada my country ❤️??

There are at least 4 unfriendly countries that were allowed to immigrate to Canada. \nYou wonder why there is civil unrest?

Well as an Indian living in India , I will come out clean their is joke in our friend group if you have no aspiration ( as it is very competitive here in india ) and have some cash lying around just dump some and move to canada . \nand i don't mean only they come there but ones with patents are mostly assimilated in America by some scholarship .\nSo you most likely get the worst of the lot . ( and sory for my indian folks for being a traitor )

I remember when Americans were saying theyd move to Canada if Donald Trump got elected in 2016 haha

What was wrong with Canada before Trudeau? Country is gone to shit.

Here is why: Overrated education system and welfare system (not awful, but nowhere near as flawless as the hype might suggest)/Horrendous economy with excessively technocratic standards/housing crisis/openly eugenicist government/prolific drug problems/extremely sparse population density (could be viewed as a positive to some people, admittedly)/declining medical system (due to a shortage of doctors and other such professions).\nAlso, people preach about Canada as being a beacon of tolerance or whatever, but whatever you do, don't ask a 'tolerant' Canadian what they think about First Nations' reservations.

damn as an aussie who had wanted to live in canada, sounds like they have all the same problems as us but maybe even a bit worse

That’s what happens when Canada becomes Canadastan

Seems to be a lot of mildly rascist comments under this video. Depressing, I expected better from my fellow canadians. Its not the colour of someones skin, their religion, or their culture that makes someone a good person and worth knowing. Its how they treat others. Canada has always been a country that's thrived because of diversity. In my experience most immigrant Canadians have great work ethics and treat others with respect and kindness. I'm happy to call them my countrymen.

I have never quite understood why most Canadians I have met carry this holier-than-the-United-States thing. As it turns out, the biggest source of immigrants to the US in the 19th century was poor Canada and today its people still leave. Canada is not appreciably better than the US, but you wouldn't know from talking to the wanker, deluded Canucks.

Canada had n has been for refugees ...i also see them hiking house price, false insurance claims, not seen amongst whites. I see punjabis had problem in punjab due to emergency act imposed but recently its from other parts India who actually don't like punjabis and this conflicts are in here

As a resident of Canada living in the GTA, I have to say I've never been more ashamed to live here. Ontario is a great place to live if you're a criminal - petty or organized. There is a degree of corruption here at every level of government and through every regulatory board. We're getting taxed into oblivion.

Vancouver isnt canada tho, vancouver has does problems becose chinese buissnes men buy all the houses and put them on sale for allot more than they would be in a normal place in canada like montreal or ottawa. This dosent mean justin trudeau is a good goverment.

Seems like lots of people want to live in Canada

Im from Europe, and we are more liberal than you guys in North America are, but you are too Liberal and free, you cant balance. your liberal policy is just give give give, let anyone in, you are a minority you are a minority everyone is minority and everyone gets some kind of money from the goverment. Where im from we are liberal and we are woke, but even this is too much what you are doing. This has moved from Freedom to bat shit crazy. Sometimes when I read something about Canada I legit believe people are brainwashed and you PM has a bunch of mental illnesses. Its worse than ever. I visited Canada in 2004 since I have family there and it was one of the top countries in the world at the time, that has changed now. And you guys even tho are liberals, you make rich people richer.. wtf?\nFor real now, people stay safe and good luck.

A lot of young people in Hong Kong have left for Canada thinking it would be freer and with greener pastures to boot. Being born and raised there for over 2 decades, I warned them what was really going on but they were too fixated on keeping their rose coloured glasses on. They're slowly trickling back now because frankly speaking, they were living life on easy mode in Asia compared to running the Canadian gauntlet.

You are so lucky to have more people from India in Canada. They don't create any problems or violence..\nMost of the Indians are nice and friendly you can trust them.

Canada is being run into the ground on all fronts. Currently a sad state of affairs here. The system is failing both citizens AND immigrants/refugees. Heartbreaking. The bureaucracy is a disgrace :(

Canada have terrible immigration system

Canada seems so crazy screw that

Man I feel for Canada, I love my neighbors to the north, seems we both have tendencies to elect terrible leaders

Good to know it's not just my country. We elected the same prime minister four times (or is the fifth now? idk, i don't count it at this point and don't follow politics) and the housing and food prices are as bad as in Canada. You can't even dream about buying a house without a loan, or without working for years in Austria or Germany. Regarding the food prices, I don't know the exact numbers, but I remember that when I was 18 (in 2018) one kilogram of bread was 0.77€. Now it's 2.32€. like wtf really.

9:37 it's good to hear that you grew up in Germany. Maybe it was better before, but nowadays the DeutcheBahn is so unpredictable, with all the strikes etc. It became a meme. Previously the low cost airlines kinda was a choice, but these days the tax on flight deliberately increased by German government, and there are not much cheap flights left, better to cross the border and fly from there. Also I find it not fair to compare Germany and Canada as their areas are different. Definitely not to compare with Singapore.\nI heard that flight in Canada are very expensive, but if I would live in Vancouver I would prefer to go to Seattle over the border for a weekend rather than going to Toronto on the other side of the continent. Car option in Canada I assume is more affordable that Germany. The German gas price(for cars), or energy in general considered to be one of the most expensive in the World. Also the expenses to get a car license, people are just saying that it's easier and cheaper to fly over to USA get car driving license there and come back. In general with all the pros and cons, Canada seems better when compared to Germany, I saw several people left from Germany to Canada, and only 1 from Canada to Germany(his main reason was high property prices, and German were surprised because of such reason, the prices risen in Germany as well, except maybe for rural areas).\n\nAlso to make it fare when comparing Toronto better to compare it to Berlin, not just to any city in Germany. I think there will the same homelessness and drug issues in Berlin.

RIP Canada

Lol... Canada's college industry runs on Indian money...No indian students means 10 billion dollars loss every year. I thought only Trudeau was an Idiot but clearly that's not the case....Also, India exports the cheapest goods to Canada otherwise Canadians will die because of Inflation....Time is changing and people are leaving Canada...

Yeah buy gay and trans people face less discrimination in Canada

Man, if you think Canada is bad, you should cross its southern border...

Here in the philippines they like to come and live in canada whatever happens

I am Canadian.I ask the same question. \nBut you may not know that canada is among those country like US,Germany that when there is a war ,we have to open our hand to help refugees no matter whats.\nI saw refugees have apartment to stay right away. \nI do not what to thinks.

Put a stop to immigration from Asia and allow Europeans to come in. I am Italian and there was a time where I dreamed of living in Canada, but never really had a chance to immigrate because I don't hold a university degree, despite making £75k per year. I haven't been to Canada in over a decade, and it shatters me too see what it has become. Liberalism and Wokeism have failed an entire country.

In my country, we are on a good way to become like Canada. We accept about a million immigrants from Africa and the Middle East EVERY YEAR and provide them with free housing. As a result, low income singles are largely living with their parents now. Housing immigrants is extremely attractive for land lords since the money comes reliably from the state.

I hope all the people complaining here realize that this is a worldwide issue because of war and supply chain issues. Canada consistently ranks in the top 5 for all measurable quality of life indexes. The only measurables where we are the worst is social media trolling. Do some research

All because of Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh making Canadians and permanent residents of Canada forcefully poor just because aga con wants all the taxes dollars to put in his Swiss bank account ??\nBahamas Jamaica and cruise ? everyone knows ??

I dont understand how Canadians will protest for everything outside of our country but not for our own country? if everyone gathered together and protested across canada to get this goof out of power it would most likely actually work lol!

Liberal party in canada has to change name for \nCorraption Liberal Trudeau Mafia

Hello sir I am jack and really wish for you to help me with links on how to travel to Canada,I am from Cameroon and promise you if you do I will pay you while I am out there,believe me pls

Not too hard to convince a bunch of crybabies that they're being hard done by in Canada, THE COUNTRY THAT RANKS #2 worldwide as best country and #3 for high quality of life. The country that ranks #1 in Religious Freedom and Racial Equity. Also in the top 10 for Human Rights, Entrepreneurship and Animal Rights. Much more too! But sure, crybabies gonna cry.

As a Canadian this is accurate the reason we keep gettin Trudeau is he allows people who armt Canadian citizens to vote n he makes policy’s that are good for them aswell as most the seats are in ontario so Trudeau gives them stuff we’ll the rest of Canada is literally in shambles and he’s also trying to get rid of oil and gas literally the only thing that produces a large scale economy here without that Canada would be a third world country

So happy I left Canada 10 years ago after studying my bachelor there, it was also quite depressing for me as a student back then, especially if your parents are not super rich

I regret all the hardwork i put in to become a pr in canada. I became a lawyer and found a fulltime job only to realise the facts stated herein. Hell to trudeau and all those who sold a dream and delivered a nightmare. I was lucky enough to be able to leave but countless immigrants are stuck there.

All whites in canada are also migrants from europe ' check history of US and canada ' all migrant ' only redindians are native american

I've experienced life in Montreal and really enjoyed it, but living in the USA has its own unique advantages and challenges. While there are both positive and negative aspects to living here, overall, I find it quite comparable to other places I've known. One of the standout features of the USA is the affordability of housing combined with higher incomes, which makes financial planning more manageable. Additionally, I've found that making friends here seems easier, perhaps due to the country's diverse population. When I first moved here, before getting married, I effortlessly connected with many Americans who were welcoming and open.\n\nHowever, I do have concerns, particularly regarding safety issues like crime and school shootings, which is why I've opted for private schooling for my five-year-old daughter. This is an added expense, yet manageable given the higher income levels here, which still allow for a comfortable lifestyle in a sizeable home outside the city center. Many significant companies offer opportunities, especially in New Jersey where I live, and particularly for those with higher education in STEM fields.\n\nIn my experience, opportunities in Canada or Europe can seem more limited in comparison. Despite this, I envision retiring in Europe, drawn by its unique appeal and lifestyle.

This is World wide not just in Canada or America ! Look out side and you will find this is in Every 1st world Country . Because of the monopolizing of everything . We the Consumers pay the price !! and think one Person is the Blame this is foolish Look at your self and ask am I taking the path of least resistance ? Electing the Liars because they say nice thing get you in bed and in the morning now your money is gone and you are left with the bill !! We are being manipulated by our own biases based on our political systems ( Nothing is Free ) !! The Tax payer has toy pay the bill one-way or the other But not the Monopoly's ? . We all have the power to take back the system . we just have to Elect the people that will fight for you and not the Corporations .

Was so bad when I was and working on a project in Vancouver & travelling through BC and Alberta for 9 months. I could feel how Canadians are drowning. I feel so glad for being Australian after experiencing the life in Canada.

Absolutely shameful video completely lacking nuance and in some cases full of blatant misinformation. 7% of Canadians move to the US? Seriously? Your highlighted text clearly says 0.7%. Cost of living in Canada is higher than the US? Have you...actually ever been to the US? Or, looked at statistics like the CPI? Living in the US is in no way cheaper.\n\nWe have genuine issues here and they need to be talked about, with a nuanced lense. This video and your production company are clearly intent on enabling polarization for views rather than being actually informative. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
