This is not really a canada issue. Many of the wealthy developed nations are facing the same problem.

European immigrants learned the customs and language of Canada, the current ones disrespect the country by singing the Canadian anthem in Punjabi. As an Argentinian, I perfectly understand the rejection that some people have towards immigration from countries so foreign to the local culture.

While most of the housing focus was on Vancouver, it's the same story in all of Canada major cities-- Toronto, Montreal, and even Ottawa

If Canada doesn’t look European then it’s not really Canada!\n\nLet that sink in

Why no one want to live in canada? We need to cut on immigration because the demand is too high... !??!

Pls any one wt d link to register for Canada Visa

No wonder Canada is turning into a bad place to live

Indian under Canada’s Indian Act here. If anything there are too many Europeans.

I am an Arab born, Indian citizen living in Canada as a permanent resident. Since I was born and brought up in an Arab country I am used to the Indian population immigration conquering thing ?

Too many Punjabi Sikhs ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️ in Canada ??. No longer safe for women ????? or non-Sikhs.

A lot of gangs and gang activities are of south east asians ( ie India) here in the canada, especially western canada. This has been going in since the mid 1980's and their criminal activities continue. The only silver lining is it is usually gang on gang with a few bystanders get killed.

All by design. One way of getting political control is by stripping the population of their national identity and diluting culture, in this case, Western culture. Canada is becoming a shell of its greater former self and you can clearly feel the difference if you’ve been more than five years in this country.

An immigration plan from the Canadian authorities needs to be established so that more immigrants can access the job market in Canada.\n\nCanada is one of the countries that receives a lot of immigrants and we hope that this year will open up opportunities in this program.

Canada’s is toast! Especially the major cities,,PM Turd-Bucket has twisted the knife on it

Who is earning $100,000 a year and up in Canada? Everybody has an MA or PhD degree or two?

As a Pakistani immigrant, I worked on my accent, cultural education. I have almost no Pakistani or Indian friends, for the very reason that I came here for what Canada is and what it has to offer. To integrate. I have a hard time with folks whatever their nationality, but who are huddled around more of themselves all for the reason of familiarity and comfort. They forget how much there is to learn. \n\nToronto is starting to feel like Missisagua too now. Go train is having issues with all the Uber drivers lugging their ebikes on the train.

Foreign born citizens have no loyalty towards our country , but they are loyal to their birth countries. Canada is not safe anymore. But Canadian born citizens need to work on improving our country instead of complaining about Canada. It's not Canada's fault. I still love ?? ❤.

So, inmigrants are the problem? Honest question. I had read in a government statement that Canada received almost 900K since 2015… this video says it’s 3Millions. What is the correct data?

Canada is a disaster now. It’s called Canindia now

Canada is a socialist failed state

Ive seen a lot of ppl migrate to Canada and be very unhappy either because of housing situation ( sorry Canada doesn’t have more homes) or because of the weather. I think its important between new combers to communicate the life style in Canada this way ppl don’t feel some way coming here. I do feel Canada offers alot of help to newcomers. Not saying new comers don’t deserve it specially after paying so much but you are paying for they safe life style the study opportunities the environment and fast way to get pr.

JEAZUS BRIAN ..IMMIGRANTS ALMOST ALLWAYS END UP IN CITIES , AS DO MOST CIVIL SERVANTS ...AND EVERY CITY IN CANADA ( RIDING RICH ) ARE RUN BY LETIES ...GO FIGURE

Canada has become a socialist dump. Thank you Justin Castreau.

Isnt Canada an Immigration country?\nCanada isnt UK that you cud say it belongs to one original race.\nNobody said that Canada needed to be white. Racist documentary.\nIts okay if Canada becomes Indian. Indians always contribute positively to economy.

Yup. As a Canadian citizen with Chinese background who is now moving permanently to the US, I testify. I’m not settling for the cold characterless mediocrity that is Canada. It just doesn’t sit well with me. The US has its problems but I’d rather deal with a nation with problems than a nation with no spirit or character. \n\nBest example is racism. The Canadians aren’t any less racist but they’ll stay quiet. I’d rather deal with the Americans who straight up call me chink and hate crime me, because it’s impossible to make change happen when there’s no spark, no action, no acknowledgement or honesty.

Too many Punjabi Sikh Khalistani radicals ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️ in Canada ??

? who don't want to live in Canada? Give me a visa today i can come. ??

Wow we know now so many chinese food in canada. Food???

Trudeau and Jagmeet hv destroyed once great Canada??

Talk about some bullshit MAGA CLOROX koolaid hoax !! I live in Canada and I enjoy it since 1965 and I don't intend to leave anytime soon ???

On the streets in the shops of my city English is spoken about 50% of the time and about 80% of the people you see aren't even from Canada. Unlike them I no longer have a home country to fall back to, or to hold my primary allegiance. \nI hate what my country is becoming, most of my life I was so grateful to part of a society that was better than the middle east, now we are rushing to become it.

Canada should have learned this the first one .

28-year-old Female Sydneysider from Australia here. Apologise in advance for the long post and rambling.\n\n\nNot sure if it is just me, so please correct me if I am wrong. Just probably now too overly 'realistically too cynical'. So please take my input with a grain of salt. 

For context’ sake, for most of my adulthood I have always been poor & I am born with special health needs (E.g. disabilities).
\n\n\nSometimes on forums we are often contrasted to Canada, for some reason. Both Canada and Australia have remarkably similar problems with a different coat of paint. Sydney, for instance, has always been high up in the list of the cities with the highest cost of living in the world. Usually within the top 10-20. 

COVID-19 obviously made this issue clearer in some circumstances because we couldn't 'work' at all. Unless you were an essential service worker, to mentally block out personal and local difficulties.\n\n\nWe still have not recovered from that 2–3 years global shutdown. The only reason I was allowed to work for a period was because I work for the animal industry and aid in animal welfare. 

I still lost my job due to COVID-19 regardless and knew I would never get a decent job again. Merely just the last poor sod on the boat to be thrown off. 

Could not become a vet nurse despite working very hard. Just because no one wants to give me '2-years permanent paid experience’ to be taken seriously. 

At the same time, way too many employers will happily take 2+ years of veterinary students volunteering at their vet clinic. With the vague promise of a permanent job.

Which, of course, never happens, then say we are being too demanding or spoilt for politely asking for said job.\n\n\nHow are we supposed to pay off our student debt if any financial service expects us to have a per meant job to pay anything off??

 No, they do not want to train nor help you. They just want free labour, then kick you out once your time is up. All my jobs have been casual, and my animal industry has already become heavily casual based ages ago. Permanent job is like looking for a magical unicorn.\n\n\nSo, even if you and your relatives lived in the way outer suburbs of Sydney for decades, being typically considered roughly lower-middle socio-economic families. 

The younger adults and kids all know and have been aware for years, they have no future at all due to having an inflated cost of living. Sugar-coating it, saying it might go in a positive direction, sounds like a blatant lie. We all know it is a lie.\n\n\nNowadays, in contrast to the late nineties and early 2000s when I was just a tiny naive kid that didn't know any better. There seems to be a more jarring split between the income brackets of what the country assumes who is poor, middle class or rich today. 

\n\nBy today's standards, my family is no longer even considered close to the very lower end of the middle class if you were reaching hard. We are considered 'poor' just because my parents do not earn roughly $50,000 — $150,000 AUD a year on their own in 2023. When I worked, I usually earned $30,000-$35,000 AUD or less per year before COVID-19 happened.\n\n\n(Source — https://www.news.com.au/finance/money/wealth/middle-class-aussies-were-living-better-in-the-early-2000s-than-they-are-today/news-story/fe173db5bbe2b705a8d05df8c5cb14ee)\n\n\nLife is only comfortable living there if you're a selfish landlord, a nepo baby, new money or old money.\n\n\nI feel like most governments and other systems are only strictly being run by sociopathic narcissists that only want us to stay poor to remain in poor conditions to benefit off of. Wouldn’t want any kid to be born in a world where there are no safe guarantees for their future if their guardian unexpectedly passes away or can longer care for them. 

When something does not change within roughly 5–10 years, it is more than simply just valid for us to feel like we cannot fix what has been broken.

Nobody wants to live in Canada? What about illegal US-Canada border crossing? Why not stay in US?

Canada changed. It is modern day slavery country.

The smell in Canada must be horrible?

I can survive in rising cost of living no problem, biggest problem of Canada is how disjointed it is and how each person is out for themselves to the point of backstabbing and noone shows the real face and that I am not willing to tolerate so I left, after the 20 yr sentence my parents decided to subject me to as a Ukrainian immigrant pre war. I gtfo and no amount of money will bring me back there even in third world countries people are kinder to each other than in Canada

Then watch an episode of marketplace and see what effect that is having how business is starting to be Conducted here in Canada. On a sidenote, interesting, how CBC picks and chooses the ones you can comment on.

It's cold, dark, boring, and everyone must learn to field dress a moose! Your wealth is measured by how many beaver balls you have in your freezer! The best sport in Canada is hockey, and the 2nd is the Iditarod (don't ask) yet these fools call thier national sport lacrosse, LACROSSE, has anyone ever amitted to watching a game of lacrosse? It's a beautiful country, but you'll need big cahone's to see it because there's all kinds of bear, huge packs of hungry wolves, a thing called a wolverine , which is a cross between a wolf and a porcipine???, and moose infected by mad cow disease, so F--k that! The beer is undrinkable, they eat curds, whatever that is, and every fall everyone eats fat and maple syrup to bulk up for winter! Sex isn'i for pleasure, it's to stay warm,............... Oh ya, their national anthem is beautiful and I like them, well most of them!

There it is. The reason why Canada is dead. Just look at the inordinate amount of immigrants coming from one single country that decimated the nation. The United States has put a nationality cap on each nation at 7% so nothing like this can ever happen. Wise decision.

While many will leave Canada for other places many will come here as immigrants, they will struggle tho to buy their house , it might take ten years or more. I bought anew house on nearly 2 Acres in the Philippines, retiring there.

Canada doesn't belong to white people, it belonged to the native Americans

Canada is the most corrupt developed country.

Just look and the amount of views and comments on this video relative to others, another metric to measure how much Canada sucks

Canada is not good even Mexico is getting better that’s why we are leaving

What Canada ? ! Hahaha...you can keep it, who want´s to go there, nobody...

It’s very simple. Priminister of Canada needs to go!

White & Native homeless everywhere in Canada

Algo raro hay en el grafico,..porque tan pocos franceses,..si la mitad de Canada es Francoparlante

So many sly comments against Indians but when you went to the most dangerous part of Brampton, it was all ethnic white Canadians, who are drug addicts and homeless. So Indians aren't the problem here. Canada brought in too many immigrants and the local ethnic population could not compete with newcomer Indians who can often endure a lot of hardships and find innovative ways to earn money and live decently. Yes there may be 15 in a house in some places but at least they're not doing drugs or roaming homeless. Not immigrants' fault that the govt miscalculated and locals couldn't compete with the newcomers.
