if doug ford didnt get rid of rent control there wouldnt be so many homeless people and life would be affordable. he is the number 1 reason why our country sucks now. Canada has never been so bad, the amount of crazy people out there nowadays is out of control . you dont feel safe anywhere anymore . sto[p bringing in immigrants until we have homelessness problem 100% figured out. i dont have an issue with imigrants but i do have an issue with not feeling safe in my home town because of all the homelessness and crime and drugs nowadays that the government isnt doing anything about

The political class and their corporate overlords WILL cannibalize Canada. Wrecking ball.

Largest country russia,150 million,2nd largest country canada 50 million.Not pro anything or not condoning anything.P.S-india is 1.5 billion.perspective.

I am an international student, just wanted to ask Canadian people, why target international students, i am from India, i can guarantee that any Indian student coming to Canada brings at least 100k investment that directly gets used by the Canadian economy. My problem is why target us rather you guys should look for people who are coming to this country like refuse and use candian tax payer money and get all the benefits Canada offers, but us on the other hand we pay taxes like normal citizen. Just ask this question to each and everyone.

Seriously? I’m from Canada. Born here. Most friends want to stay. Nice bs you posted.

Worst decision ever I came to Canada wasted my time for nothing

for only 30 hours and canada possibly push for universal income after everything automated gen z will own nothing and be happy good luck selling your homes in the future ?

Really BBC? I didn’t expect such a bias and poorly reported piece from you guys. What editor for the reputable BBC would even sign off on such a direction? \n\nYES it’s normal to see a drop in citizen application when the government made it much more difficult for permanent residents to do so. There was an intent there to naturally filter out what had become a burden on government funds and resources. I’m sorry but if you are living in Canada’s largest city [Toronto], don’t be shocked that cost of living is ridiculously expensive. The same will apply to every other western nations largest city. And yes Canada’s second largest city [Montreal] is ridiculously cheap, but good luck trying to get in when you not only need the Canadian federal governments approval for citizenship but the Quebec provincial governments as well where fluency in the French language is now a requirement. \n\nAt the end of the day, your education abroad provided you with tools and resources that helped implement your vision. It allowed you recognize the changing dynamic of the global economy, the bygone era of easy opportunity and progress in the western world and the significant leaps and growth that your own “developing” nation has made, allowing you to easily break into your own market with much success than struggle surrounded by red tape, by laws, bureaucracy, expenses and competition while balancing yourself in a culture with societal norms and customs that are unfamiliar and new to you.

There is no more jobs in Toronto... Statitics canada manipulate data to keep unemployment low by saying labour participation is going down every month

Harrison is the best journalist in Canada!

On name of labor, we have few thousands gangster getting in Canada from Punjab India

The massive immigration is a huge mistake! It’s leading to the destruction of Canada! Time will prove it!

Everything that is bad in Canada was created by Justin Trudeau.

Uhh, you do realize this is all intentional, designed to completely colonize and separate and enslave commoners in canada right? Canada is forever finished , unless deportation kicks in.....forget it. Abandon this country.

I am shocked to learn that people coming on Tourist visa (from developing countries) to Canada can apply for Job here and once hired can change visa status while in Canada. Never have I ever heard about this while staying in UK on work permit for 4 years that UKBA /Home Office has ever approved such low quality visa that Trudeau is flexible about. Neither Harper's/Kenney's administration (under which I immigrated to Canada back in 2014) has ever approved such cockamamie change of visa status. This is unfair to those who paid all legal fees/been working hard and never relied on the benefits proposed by the Canadian..yikes!Turdo has made Canada into a 3rd world dump...

Skilled workers don't want to come to Canada because our taxes and cost of living are too high. They want to go the the USA.

Why because like Australia, Canada is extremely wealthy with resources. Our enemies know that and they want it. Some involved may even be our faux friends. They have taken over all institutions in the west, especially Canada. They are driving the country into the ground. Once the nation collapses, and we are too busy scrounging for food, or trying to keep our families safe, they will get to work exploiting. That's my theory anyway.

Let them go to Canada thats not out issue but we must stop them from coming to America illegal but good to see the Canadian police doing their job

What if your school has already started 1 month and you are now moving to Canada

It is not canada anymore!! It looks like an indian province ?

Immigrants of diverse places are leaving, being replaced by east Indians….canada is becoming little India,& it not as diverse as it used to be to be.

The problems Canada is having now is politically made. After 8yrs of Justin Trudeau, this once beautiful and desirable country is now in shambles. High cost of living, unemployment, inflation, drug problems, rising crimes in every big cities, human rights being restricted, people are taxed to poverty are only a few of the issues Canadians are facing under this clown dictator Prime Minister Trudeau. This once shining beacon of democracy and prosperity is now dying slowly. Thanks to liberal voters who voted the worst PM in Canadian history.

Jobs? Work?!! Pay taxes? Contribute?!! What?!! Many of the “asylum seekers” came to Canada to take; not to contribute anything to Canada. Apparently they thought it’s all money for nothing and chicks for free in Canada.\n\nImagine showing up to a country and claiming that they needed to “escape” the imminent dangers from their homelands, yet the first thing they do upon arrival is make demands. Many expected to come to Canada and live for free. They wanted to live out of hotels and get room service for three meals a day. Free housing, free food, free healthcare, free everything; all paid for by tax dollars of hardworking Canadians who contributed for generations. \n\nDon’t let the door hit you on the way out…

People should come to Canada ?? and live off grid . City living is expensive and if you’re not an established Canadian for a few generations then it will be difficult unless you’ve a good job with a high salary or someone who has plenty of money.

Next, a fascinating show about Canadians who cannot afford to live in Canada. Please don't come to the US where housing has also become unaffordable for many natives.

This video maybe reflects the 1980s and 1990s when Quebec was very affordable!! No longer TRUE!! ITS the 3rd most expensive City Montreal in CANADA behind Vancouver and Toronto!!! Please check your facts!!

Immigration has destroyed Canada.

Rich country USA and Canada but border can't control illegals

How do you get into Canada they basically were going to strip search me at the border just to go on an ice climbing trip:)

Canada jann da supna he reh gaya veer garebe marr gaye bss ja mera maa peyo kol ve jamin hunde ohh bach ke aa jande chllo koi ne ??

Canada cannot let them get on a bus to come to the USA

Like me, I already want to move back. Canada was overglamorized. I think I'm just gonna finish my post grad work permit and move back home. At least there, housing is still within my reach. It's rare people doesn't own homes. You can grow food in your backyard. Can live without debt in any way if you choose as we dont rely in mortgages and credit cards or credit scores.\n\nCanada is good in pictures, but not totally in real life. And what I realized is every country has issue in corruption, government, capitalism etc. There's no perfect country, might as well, just have an almost perfect life with loved ones.

That’s because they are only after the Canadian citizenship - once they got that they don’t stay whether they can afford to be in canada or not - they are after the Canadian passport - DUH!!!

Canada is not affordable and too expensive

Lived in Canada all my life alone as a bachelor, now its impossible because everything went up like mortgage and food , also the property taxes.

Canada has went backwards so much in the last 8 years, turned into a real ? hole, so very sad

People leaving Canada faster than ever !!!

Why is it so easy for an immigrant who got his education in Canada to turn around and say oh maybe I'll get a job here there anywhere in the world. I never knew this easy. He certainly has skills that Canada shouldn't loose

Canada has always been a hard place I left in 2014.

Plese help me to come and work in canada

Time to leave Canada. What a joke.

Its like asking why do i take a dump in the toilet? Poo belongs in toilet just as khalistanis belong to canada.

Im moving back to Europe next month. Canada truly sucks.

And here I left Canada because of the Indian migrants

Well said but most people would say that your modest and didn’t share enough harsh reality… you might want to try again and do a much longer video sharing more information with more video backed by corrupt politicians and easily agreeable down sides of ever moving to Canada. The “government “ of Canada ?? and that the petty pictures that country paints fools the world into bringing their family coiffed to Canada only to lose their money and then they are stuck… it truly is a nightmare and I think you can do a better job with this broadcast.

Secer tower down town in Chicago not in Canada .

As a Canadian, I can guarantee you the only citizens leaving Canada seem to exist in the comments sections of right wing click bait. Canadians don't like the US' expensive healthcare or the gun violence, and Britain is a sh*tshow with property prices that would make the average Canadian's eyes water and the highest rates of inflation in the G7. When you hear right wingers claim folks are leaving Canada, ask them where these folks are going to. Prepare for the crickets.

Guys believe me its better here in canada rather than live in south asian country

Silliness... Roads paved with gold. Canada ranks high in many ways, but if ignorant of what is on offer, yhen i feel no sympathy.
