It is incumbent upon the Canadian government to screen out those applicants who received fake admission letters upon arrival or even before departing for Canada - at the Indian airport of departure. Clearly the priority of the Canadian government was to allow one and all in so as to benefit from the exorbitantly high tuition fees charged to international students - so scrutiny of offer letters took a back seat. The recent crack down on international students (after such a long time) especially in the wake of the impending elections makes Canadians highly skeptical. This is nothing but damage control by the Trudeau government now that they are faced with the prospect of a decimation at the general elections. They needed a scapegoat - what better than to blame international students....the outsider - sound familiar?

There are enough world class universities in India. Better than most of the countries. It is just the glamour of white, more money and status symbol of living in great named countries. Government of departure countries should charge heavy fines for leaving or ask person to pay off all expenses country of departure has faced.\nYes, there are exceptions. People have long lived and established due to children borne in country or sickness which is handled for long time by doctors in country of present residence. Living in USA and or country like Canada has become a status symbol. It is real tragedy. Dishonesty has gone one step further to crime, Criminals are defying laws and robbing innocents with the assurance of promise land.

Don't you just love how the rest of the world thinks the USA should take any and every one from all over the world that no one else wants yet no one is saying when doe's the USA run out of room? no one cares as long as millions move in every year. and run every one else life as long as theres become better who cares about the people who was born there.

I am Canadian and I want to live in Canada, no place else. So am I no one? If people don't want to live here and work for a better future, we are better off without them.

If you wish to immigrate to the U.S., you will need to obtain citizenship funds, housing funds, and other things to get you in line with the law.\n A country has its own rules, and to do as one pleases, even if it means breaking the rules of the country, is frowned upon by the people of that country.\n The problem is that Japan and other countries, such as France, are experiencing a number of tragic events due to the immigration problem.\n Recently, a 10 year old Japanese girl was raped by a 30 year old Kurdish man, and Japanese citizens are living in anxiety everyday. Like the U.S., every country is now very annoyed by all the immigrants! Immigrants impose their own culture. Why is it that these immigrants are allowed to stay in the other country, and yet they are not allowed to care about the culture and rules of the other country ? If that is the case, it would be better for both parties to live in the country of their birth from the beginning for the sake of peace.\n\n＊most japanes ppl said American people do the right thing.you chose right person for president! now japanes need facing their own problem,

there's zero benefits in moving to Canada. it is a country that is set to debt trap you for the rest of your life once you settled. they invent new tax laws every year to cheat you from your hard work earnings, no one can build a life here in Canada, this is also precisely why there is no known technology or industry developed in Canada. So called top brand in Canada, TD, was just sued and under multiple legal litigations such as AML (anti money laundering) and NSF class action lawsuit. TD by itself is only $132 billion CAD market cap vs a comparable JP Morgan Bank (US) $675 billion USD = $979 billion CAD, more than 7x the size of TD. wonder why there are very few US bank operating in Canada? cause they know better! There are no investor who are foolish enough to invest in Canada, all the tax laws are created to soak wealth from those who didn't know better. Even Canadians are leaving Canada. don't even mention the non-existing military, so really, where did the country spent all the tax dollars?

What is the reason people (who want Khalistan) come to India? Better they keep protesting there and wait until a separate Khalistan is created. Or better Idea, Governer True-do must provide one provenance to rename as Khalistan.

I am sri lankan dude born and raised in germany. I work in a company where most are german. They are quite respectful , funny and quite sensitive in terms of racism, homophobia etc. I even hang up and party with them in freetime. The work life balance is insane , much better than USA. If u r sick u r sick , no one dares to question u. All that because of Young People they r different than the older ones in public services etc. . So if u get into a good company everything will be fine. I know its hard...but thats they key.

Congratulations for all the hard work and research you 've done to compile so many data and provide a comprehensive explanation of the current situation. I'm an immigrant looking to get my PR, I have qualifications from one of the top universities in the world, experience as an international consultant and most important I do respect the Canadian culture and follow the rules. However, even for me it is uncertain what is going to happen? and/or if the government will make more changes and kick us out hahaha. I do believe that immigration has poured a lot of money into Canadian's pockets and most of them are not considering that, some of that money is going to go to another country who is willing to manage immigration with a better approach and provide a more certain perspective to new immigrants. The government allowed many bad actors (locals and foreigners) to take advantage of the system and those who are going to pay the bill are new immigrants due to political elections, and that is just sad. We will see who are they going to blame for mismanagement of public resources and the possible crash of several industries, that are currently relaying on foreign money, once there are no new immigrants to blame. I agree with most of the new rules regarding immigration, but I strongly disagree with the political approach of how the government is blaming immigrants for their lack of proper management. I still believe Canada is a great country no matter the outcome of my personal immigration process, wish you all the best of luck!

You must understand one thing. We the people of Canada are not to blame for your situation. It is THE PM. Justin Trudeau and his liberal party who agreed to this. We as a people are also in a dire situation because of all you people coming to OUR HOME land. We too suffer from lack of food, jobs, habitation. Our rights are not respected since you came here. But we do not fight you, we suffer you. It won't get better. I hope you will not take offense by my speaking out but just letting you know we have problems too, so next time don't believe it's better elsewhere you study at large, verify make calls. Do not trust the Embassies. I wish you better places to live, especially since the Election in USA. They threaten us of a take over from Canada to USA. Goodbye ? ???

You guys don’t understand who is gonna work who’s gonna make your food? Who’s gonna make your house? Who’s gonna make your cars who is gonna put vegetables on your plate? Who is gonna work at the schools you guys don’t think that right one day you’re gonna see all that when we go back to Mexicoand they have a better life there we are leaving here

21:58 well, but as an European, me and my family know language, respect rules and we are even more polite than Canadians, do we deserve to be here? ?\nIt is a strange sentence, because it is not privilege to have a good healthcare or job, I can’t even talk about house. It is why I sacrifice my good life, my European education and a lot of money to came here, to have even a better life and opportunities and give the best from myself to society, but I see that it is one way transaction, and we are the site which doesn’t receive anything back. I believe Canada has nothing to offer for Europeans and that will not change. I believe that Canadians need to start about emigration in more smart way, not quantity but quality, and then they need to offer something as an exchange. Canada needs skilled migrants more than skilled migrants need Canada, and it is time to stop thinking that Canada is so generous that accept skilled migrants and force them to work in the store or as an Uber because of lack of work and high cost of life ? This is why small amount of Europeans or Americans come here, so only people from Asia and Africa maybe see some reason to came.

Canada chose one of the most dishonest and Hustling nation in the world as an immigration pool... most of them are better off then us!

The last time the world was threaten this way was by Hitler. With threats like this it is clear to see Trumps demands US currency controls on the world, BRICS should move faster towards it's own currency. Competition can only make the world a better place, free of controls by just one group.

Canada practises a dubious standard when hiring.new applicants to various professions, highly qualified and with the necessary requirements stipulated by the Federal Government of CANADA to the skilled labour migration category, such individuals land in Canada with their own reserves. Keeps seeking for employment depleting their own funds and are unable to find employment for months , and then not even. called for interviews at all , are totally ignored despite forwarding more than 100 resumes gazing at the computer screen for more than eigj6 hours. Browsing through the net for job opportunities, confined to a small room at high costs, finally if and when they are been called for one or two interviews at most despite forwarding more than 100 resumes, at the interviews they will be offered lower than the minimum wage for parttime workers. What a crime\n Here I am talking about fully qualified and experienced, as well as fluent English Speakers, actually better English skills than both of you here presenting this program. What a scam, first they say that English fluency is essential has introduced different Examination to assess the English fluency standard.. it is a big scam...while Canada has favoured immigrants from certain parts of the globe. As you say here. It is height of cheek of Canadian Authorities to offer lower wages , lower than the minimum wage stipulated by the labour laws, also as you emphasise here, high living standard's, High paying jobs, high Health standards. What nonsense.\nEven the PR Holders are not provided with the Dental and Eye care Insurance, they are provided with only the basic general health care benefits, furthermore after depleting their finds to gain qualifications to be eligible for the federal Government skilled labour program. they are unable to find employment after complying with all the requirements and regulations stipulated by the Government, they arw highly qualified. Highly experienced and highly fluent in English, the Government has not initiated a mechanism to absrb all such migrants.. and has the nerve to expect all such migrants to be hired\nUnder very low wage schemes. Whereas their job designations are entitled to a high wage category stipulated by the labour rules.\nAs you both emphasise here all from poorer nations or Asian or South East Asia are.not paupers nor uneducated, unskilled individuals who migrate to Canada in different fraudulent and corrupted ways while some of you learn and improve your communication skills after landing in Canafa and then learn English and then preach on UTube about the high living standards and quality of life in Canada unlike some of you who tries to emphasise here on UTube that migrants are trying to seek employment without having the basic qualifications nor the basic fluency in English. And you have the nerve to say, you don't belong here.\nMind you, they are there , through legitimate Government programmes which has subjected them into high assessment of their credentials as well as assessment of fluency in English. After complying with all the stipulated Government regulations, still such individuals are not been called for interviews, finally after wasting months and.months depleting their own funds, they are offered salaries way below the standard wage scales stipulated by labour rules for certain job categories. Some still accept such offers as they need to get Canadian job experience in order to be even eligible to apply for certain job categories, all though they have enough and more experience in their home countries to prove their capability \nAlso, the Job interviewers pose very advanced technical questions which they themselves do not understand or have no clue about what they are asking, or they do not use such high technical advanced methods in their specifics job caregories available. All these gimmicks are being utilised to discourage the applicants and to force the genuine Credential Holders who could definitely contribute to boost the Economy in a fruitful manner to leave the country and to force them to get back into their home countrues. In that case why did the Federal Governments of Canada created a delusion to migrants from around the globe stating that there is an acute labour shortage in certain high demanding job categories, encouraging all such applicants to apply through the Skilled labour Program introduced by the Federal Government of Canada,. as if there are shiploads of opportunities available just for geabs.\nSuch individuals are driven to state of utter despair or forced to get back to their home countries whereas here the federal Government of Canada is granting Asylum to all sorts of unskilled , uneducated and sometimes no literacy nor basic communication skills in English at all at the expense of the taxes and high tuition fees acquired from the student population as well as PR Holders who has incurred massive expenditure through the federal Government's detailed and tough assessment procedures just to gain entry under the stipulated visa categories. Whilst all such individuals who has made a genuine effort by using their own reserves and during their stay pay high consumer taxes and high rent are being denied to gain employment but certain uneducated hooligans and certain communities are allowed to enter Canada Scot free as Asylum Seekers through the IRCC refugee and immigration act and Asylum Seeker Act.\nHow unfair and unrealistic...\nWhen you present such videos be aware of your content as not only the Canadians are contributing to the Federal Governments tax schemes. It is virtually every individual who come over to Canada seeking Greener Pastures, be it Temporary Visitors, Tourists, student population from around the globe,.Migrants under different visa caregories introduced by the federal Government of Canada itself , all such people contribute to the federal governments reserves in direct and indirect ways. So, it is very unfair to say that individuals who are from poorer nations are willing to undergo harsh living conditions in basements within Canada. And they grab the job opportunities of the Canadians. Wrong again. , as the Canadians do not accept job offers which does not include the specifics wage packages stipulated by labour laws to their designated job categories ,, the federal Government has found a crude way to fulfil their labour market through these new migrants for lower salary scales as well as utilising the student population to fill the shortages for parttime and temporary job categories where the employer can get away by paying minimum wage and hire and fire as they wish.\nWhat a cruel system...Get the facts straight before you present such videos.....

The basic lesson from the Economy. How did China become rich and have high technology? Thanks to cheap labor, American capital, and factories, we built in China...Thanks to Chinese capital and technology Mexico will be one of the biggest producers of electric vehicles..They don't need the American market. This planet has 9 billion potential customers...The right thing to do was not to put tariffs but to open an EV factory in the USA using Chinese technology and money and everybody would benefit except Elon Musk and gas and oil corporations ..BYD or NIO better than Tesla costs about 25,000$ only... Tesla sells batteries for EVs for 26 000$...The same battery made in China costs 7.000$ because China has its own lithium. We should say goodbye to Elon Musk batteries and import batteries from China or make a lithium deal with Bolivia as China did. We would have American EVs better than Tesla for just 25.000-30.000$.\nCustomers are paying tariffs and this money goes to the government...Adding tariffs on most of foreign products is the faster way to create the Great Depression as Herberr Hover did in 1930 when he added Tariffs on 2000 imported products

Tariffs would collapse Mexico's economy. Watch Trump slap 100% across the board on Mexico. The peso would drop like a rock. No one would buy ANYTHING from Mexico. American companies IN Mexico would leave Mexico due to the fact Trump is dropping regulations which killed their businesses under the democrats so they would return. Also ending the reliance on foreign oil will drop the prices for consumers even more so American made products would be cheaper and better made again. Most of the industry is automated as well but American jobs would return so China and Mexico who work together would be kicking rocks. Trump is winning and he isn't even in office yet ?

No sympathy for these cockroaches. Haven’t met one Canadian citizens in 2024 including the pervious Indian who immigrated here under the correct way and actually have useful skills & knowledge and actually blended with society . ABSOLUTELY HATE THESE NEW INDIANS WHO IMMIGRATED HERE. I feel sorry for you new Indian who are here no matter what you will always be hated. \nYou all literally brought racism to your selves. \nYou left to give yourself a better life , yet you bring your garbage ways to these countries - example : shitting on beaches with people there , dancing like a group of gorilla in the downtown toronto in a BUSY area where family shops and go with their children, crossing the subway tracks to reach the other side while trains are coming ! \nSTEALING FOOD FROM THE FOOD BANKS FOR THE HOMELESS! stealing liquor from the LCBO , stealing every car in toronto , most unhygienic people ever( no deodorant, always smelling they haven’t shower for days) ESPECIALLY THE WOMAN!… need I say more ? \nYou all brought racism towards your self good luck :)

“AMERICA ?? SAYS” THIS “CORRUPTED CULT” ALONG WITH THEIR RACIST WANNABE HITLER DICTATOR AND ALSO TEXAS GOVERNOR WHO PARDON A MURDER , NOW THINK THEY CAN “STEAMROLL” OVER ANYONE THEY PLEASE ! AMERICA ?? SAYS MAYBE THEY THINK THEY “FOOL” ALL MEXICAN AMERICANS IN “SOUTH TEXAS. THEY BETTER GO “BACK-TO-THEIR-ONE-SIDED-DRAWING BOARD”!!! “AMERICA ??SAYS” NO IMMIGRANTS HOLDING STATION HAS TO BE BUILT AND RAISED “TAXES” ON ALL SOUTH TEXANS AMERICANS ?? !! TEXANS AND ALL AMERICANS ?? SAY CUT YOUR “CONCERN CRAP” !! THE ONLY THING ALL THIS CHAOS IS GOING TO “CUZ” IS STRUGGLING SOUTH TEXANS STRUGGLE EVEN MORE !! PERIOD!

?? Bye Bye to all you the latinos who voted to have themselves and loved ones deported.!! \n Maybe next time you’ll learn to read trump’s and or the republicans policy plans better.!! ?????

US better start doing something!! I guess one fell to sleep and one is standing there laughing ? ??…don’t forget you two still getting paid by us taxpayers…totally worthless!!

Ten years ago everything one would buy in America was cheaper than in Canada now one really has to pick. Car tires, and tools better deal in Canada shoes clothing better in USA, but maybe not for long.

This is how China will grow better in foreign policy , Trump is an Enemy to every one including Himself

It seems to me better than punitive percentage tariffs is that each foreign country can buy American products first from tracked like product categories. The United States Counts how many units of that type of United States made product was bought first by a foreign  country. Then United States consumers, or companies are allowed to buy the same matching unit count of foreign products from like categories.  In this way no foreign company selling into the United States can fluid the United States Market with cheap foreign government subsidized goods. In this tracked unit count system of fair trade one American made unit sale for one foreign made like unit sale can take place.

All of a sudden we have to be careful of what Mexico’s president has to say? We are the strongest economy and we’ve been put to the test. We can do with or without. Tariffs mean better competition and manufacturing jobs to increase here in the US; more jobs = more money being earned and spent within our economy. What a slap on our American face with her statement when they’re the ones supplying the drugs. Let’s stop the consumption and see how well their economy and politics do.

It would be best if the USA would just invade Mexico and make it the 51st state - the Mexican people would all be way better off, the corrupt officials and cartels would all be 6ft under and the immigrant waves would stop! Who would care, who would stop it. no one!

You guys will listen to anyone , but while complaining about the border; you all know to well what cause the migrations. Stop sugarcoating go straight to the point. \nNo one wants to leave their homes land taking a long distance for another country. \nYou all know what force them outdoor. \nLet me give you an example. When California's while fires start. Animals like humans beings do they stay put or run for their lives?\nThe United states is a great country. No doubt about that. Even the so called enemy of the states knows that. But the foreign policy is not that is what force people to flee their home countries. Look what happened in Haiti for example just one small island. What do you expect those people to do ? If and when you only make a real meaningful change ; people will stop. As Americans we know better and we can and should do better ❤ I all

We don’t need Mexico we just use them cause there cheap. America can build and grow whatever they want. She should shut up and solve her own country’s crisis. There’s a reason her own people want to run to America. But the boot they will get if coming here illegally is their agenda. One day our army will probably have to swing in there for a solid week and end there crisis that they can’t handle themselves. & all these crybaby Americans over Kamala need to stfu and listen to the real adults. America will be America again. “Oh but we’re all immigrants” well I’m not I was born here. That happened years and years ago. You have better luck crying a river to a wall. Let’s go America let’s bring the real America back and make it strong again. F$$$ the haters and crybabies

Need to get out of this country but sadly there is no one else to go that’s better.

As long as Truddumb is in power... US will be always be better than Canada. Trudumb is Obama and Biden all in one... except he is extremely stupid and evil. WEF puppet. Beware if the Libs stay in power!!!!

After such a terrible ending it's really making me not want to bother listening to anything else from this author/channel. Does anyone know if all their endings are trash or just this one...? Because if all the endings are trash i don't want to waste hours on them. If they're all like this I'll just skip. But if this is the odd bad one, every author has a bad book... Some have plural ? it's a shame about the ending, especially because it feels like half the story. It could have been SO much better. ?‍♀️?‍♀️? Might check out another story later and give the benefit of the doubt.

This is not that unusual in Canada and it is one of the most racist countries in the world!! They market themselves as the more tolerant and better version of the USA but that just hides the real ugliness of this country. I know, I lived there for 8 years before fleeing back to the USA. Even my children were not spared the hate — an elderly man tried to push down by 4 year old son in the ice crew line when he thought no one was looking. We often faced racial insults as we walked in the streets.

There will me one day u ll realise , coming back to india will be ulitmate option. We have to stay united and against our government. We always find a easy escape. we have to fight back , make everything better in india, for good job opportunities and education.

Bit misleading to suggest that Trump led Republicans in shooting down that bill like it was some form of sabotage. The democrats completely undid Trump's boarder policies prior to coming up with a plan, and the tried to pass that garbage bill after the fact.\n\nJust because the Democrats put forward a bill on immigration doesn't make it a good package that the opposition is obligated to back. They should have left his laws in place until they had something better and less partisan. Instead they brought on the collapse of our entire immigration system for several years. Also shame on the republicans for being self-serving RINOs without independent thought. Just following the flow of power for their own sake. Sucking up to the Democrats one day, and Trump the next.

Turns out, if both parties want to stop immigration, people will vote for the one who claims they'll do it better. Fake, manufactured issue

The one thing that Canadians truly hate is when we have people from other countries coming to Canada and acting like they are better than us

I applied and finally received notice that I can move to Canada as a permanent resident. Some of the videos I have watched (but not this one) have put a scare in me about my move - primarily about the future of the Canadian economy, etc. This video makes me feel better about my move and the recent election has made me realize that I no longer understand a good percentage of my fellow Americans. It has been, and will continue to, a very disheartening feeling that my US is, at least temporarily, gone, gone, gone. Regarding the homeless situation, my current American city is smaller than Ottawa by about 600,000 and the homeless problem here is probably quite a bit worse than Ottawa's.

I love Americans. Although that's a general statement and just like Canada, there are jerks there just like here, for the most part I get along great with them. There are pros and cons to living in Canada and the U.S., For the most part, I believe Canada is the superior country. We have a superior healthcare system, superior banking system, superior snacks, and superior safety. However, Trudeau is killing that. He's destroyed our country to the point that one more term, and it may well be expedient to move to the USA. He's destroying our economy, our values, our culture. We have the resources to top the USA in every way, but we've never had leadership to make that happen. The U.S. has a superior economy, retail, and military. Although some may argue that the USA has superior freedoms, I'm not sure I agree with that. I know I don't feel freer when I travel there. I will definitely travel to the U.S. again. I have lots of friends there who I love and would love to see. However, it will take more Trudeau for me to want to move there. Since it looks like he's on the way out, I better just stay put at least for now.

Love this attitude! See the democrats think they are the compassionate ones. But compassionate to WHO exactly. Letting tons if illegals in makes it harder and longer for people like this trying to do it right. So basically democrats are compassionate to criminals who break laws and conservatives like to be compassionate to people like this who follow laws and want to make our country better.... ?

When the Nazis started mass deportations they started with Jewish people and eventually they moved to those whose families had converted to Christianity, they didn’t care so this lady better remember that when Trump decides to deport Latinos who had been in the USA less than 50 years green card or not, it is not her status that is the problem but the colour of your skin, your language and the fact that (regardless what you told yourself) you are not one of them

This was funny.. I can't say I blame either of them though. Bro with the camera is just fed up with all these street shitterz like everyone else is, but I understand that the street shitterz just want a better life than the ? one they fled from. India is a dump .. no offense but it's true. Very dirty place lol

Ohhh if it was her own child I’m sure she wouldn’t be saying that’s ok.., there are many like her out there. They get those papers and they think they work for the White House. If she would’ve visited Mexico and had a kid while visiting and didn’t have the money for a green card it would have been a completely different situation. For those just because you got your papers do you not think that there are people that came here as infants or kids to immigrant parents that came to work to provide for their kids it’s not that easy to get your green card it cost thousands of dollars. Many immigrants that I know and worked with including myself, I came here as a refugee. Immigrants are the hardest working people I know. Unfortunately a lot of the ones that came here as kids grew up in some neighborhoods that are not so great and mainly are kids that were born here that are in gangs or doing drugs or violent so don’t blame immigrants saying they bring all this with them it was already here … drugs gangs violence was already here. Gangs started in the White House with their red and blues. Then they say they are taking all the jobs.. the jobs have always been here but people that are citizens are too lazy to go get jobs or keep jobs ( not all citizens) but the ones that are complaining immigrants usually come from villages without any media or drugs or gangs ect. They simply come here for better opportunities or for jobs. They come to work not to freakin take your jobs… this country everyone is a damn immigrant this country was taken from the natives taken with violence by killing them , rapi!’ Them. And people sit here and say we are here to take back our country… ohhh please stfu!!!!! \nMajority of crimes were committed by our Americans but they look for immigrants and pin their crimes on them… Donald Duck is a damn immigrant he needs to stfu and go to sleep with his pu&@@@ grabbing tiny hands… shame on anyone that supports deportation..

She thinks she’s better than her family members now smh!! These people don’t even like her,dont even wont her language spoken her. I had asked a coworker one time to help me translate and she said no because if they live in the US they should speak English smh

??This foolish lady doesn't realize she's one of the ones that will be deported. She's an illegal alien who came to this country. NOT SAD AT ALL... You are not better than anyone.

This politician is such a simpleton.\n\nIf by miracle the Republicans remove all so-called illegal immigrants, Republicans better get ready for severe push back from growers who have no one harvesting their crops, hotel owners who have no one to clean their hotel rooms and cater to guests etcétera.\n\nThe list is endless of the trickle down effect of mass deportation is going to play on the economy and in turn, the cost of goods and services.\n\nWay to address the concerns (the economy) of your constituents (voters) Republicans.\n\nIt's ok since in two years the House will be back to a majority blue and ready to impede Trumps' right-wing agenda.

She better hide because she might be ones of the ones getting deported

She doesn’t even understand how the policy works when someone is deported. The person has to apply and it could take 5-20 years with an attorney to try to come back to their families. It’s costly and not guaranteed. It’s tragic and dystopian that families are turning against one another. Welcome to Fahrenheit 451/Brave New World. She better start saving for her attorney because “legal status” is not part of the 2025 agenda.

She thinks she’s better than her own family. She is dying to be picked by the white Americans and treated as one of them. Putting her family on the line to try and get that. Those white folk will NEVER see you as one of them girly. NEVER. No matter how many other Latinos you beat down trying to fit in.

I am a third (if not more) generation Ontario resident. I’m almost thirty and I have little to show for it. No, I haven’t always made the best decisions, but even friends of mine who have are in no better shape. You can have one thing in life; choose kids, career, or house. You cannot have it all without running yourself into the ground. As much as I don’t want to leave everyone I know, I can see no desirable future here. It will be more of the same; work and go home to dream. I don’t plan on leaving the country, but I’ve just about resigned myself to the reality that I can’t stay here.
