Canada is under the control of England ? all the taxes money going to UK ?

Inflation is a big issue in Canada, unaffordable crazy prices, just barely survive like a beggar on food.

Cant find job? In canada?? What the heck are you guys studying? They should study something in demand

I don’t even want to live in Canada, and I’m white and have a good job. If Canada is failing my family, I can’t imagine how it’s failing immigrants

Is Canada immigration all about Indians? Why not report about other countries citizens suffering there too?

Canada is now a much different place than in 1996 when I moved to this country which I called home since. Cost of leaving is really punishing for many and retiring here while maintaining a decent life style is almost impossible for regular people. I'm already planning my retirement in other places and I'm well on my way of achieving it. This is the unfortunate situation which many Canadians are currently facing. Gone are the proverbial good old days.

Why canada import language, you don't have culture and language?

We don't live in Canada anymore. Here in Ontario, I feel like a minority and living in India. I'm honestly hating this country lately. I'm not being racist only stating the truth. I've never met such rude ignorant people like people from India. They think their ? no stink.

Poor report: Decline of citizenship application in Canada and BBC focused only at Punjab, India ?

Canada is _one_ of the greatest countries in the world to live in, but like all other nations, it does have it's own issues. Nowhere is absolutely perfect. Everywhere has strengths and weaknesses. I still feel grateful and privileged to be born in this country.

As a visible minority that immigrated to Canada 55 years ago……..I do not recognize Canada anymore, Trudeau has made Canada a totalitarian state devoted to climate change and wokeness!

Canada is on the decline. I know, I live there.

Live off grid in Canada ??

Just shocked. I thought Canada was a well run country by level-headed honest politicians.

Do countries like Canada, UK and USA realise that they do not have what it takes to attract desirable immigrants...

I left Canada 3 years after I got the citizenship, because the cost of living was unbearable. I was living in 1 bedroom condo in Vancouver (Canada), with no cars or investment. In 2020 I found an entry lvl job at Amazon Seattle (US). My pay doubled, tax reduced by 50%. Sold my Canada condo, and bought a single family home and a car in Seattle. Never wanted to come back. \n\nPS: I lived in Toronto for 5 years, and Vancouver for 5 years.

Canada has plaqued by mass immigration over the pas 20 years and it is already ruined. It is a very good thing tho and hope they will all go back to their countries

Housing and inflation and health care and law Order is big issue in Canada. If you are not rich, then countries like Canada is even worse than many low income countries

Canada is a big land. Why leaving the country? Government should do something more affordable to people.

WE MOVED HERE 3 YEARS AGO. CANADA IS A LIE. TRUDEAU HAS DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY. DONT COME TO CANADA

I lived in Canada for 13 years, my two kids were born there\nI was there from 1985 thru '98 a truly wonderful country with remarkably friendly an resilient people.\nI lived in numerous places around Toronto and always got on with the local communities.\nRecently went back on vacation and struggled to recognize the place, change is inevitable but one has to \nwonder if its for the good of the country.\nMy heart will always be with Canadiens and I wish y'all well.

Canada is one of the Best Countries, the people are so friendly.... way better than US

Unemployment is rife in India, People do not get jobs matching their qualifications in India, racism and discrimination is rife in India in the Hindutva world, infrastructure is very poor and taxes are high… more than 2 million Indians moved out of the country in the past few years…. It’s all sound the same to me - just replace Canada with India - it’s infact worse in the past 10 years.

I'm moving to Canada now ?

You should not send your kids to Canada, keep your kids in India ?

Hello. I’m an artist from Puerto Rico ?? and I want to go to canada to start my music carreer, collaborate with Canadian artist, record the album, the music videos, etc. This would take 6 months minimum. What do you recommend me ? If I go as a tourist how can I stay for 6 months without seem suspicious? ❤\nThank you

Canada is one of the most beautiful countries.. there are issues in every country. Living in Canada for 13 years has been a wonderful experience. Where I live, you might reach -40 in winter at the same time you can sit inside your home wearing a t shirt. In summer, it turns into paradise. Remember both wife and Husband has to work. Otherwise stay in India.

Trudeau's politics over the last 7 years is why Canada is the most sought after destination for migration.\nNothing has changed, only that Canada must stop taking in so many students and migrants.\n\nAlso, unlike India, Canada doesn't have a fascist dictatorship running the system and media !

Canada is blacklisted on my list countries

Canada is receiving way too many economic refugees, immigrants and international students.

I am fine with immigrants AFTER Canada becomes affordable on the housing front.

Useless. Without any idea about Canada.

Canada is so fudged man

Her look is nothing special in Canada. She’s white and Tokyo needs her but in Canada, she’s just plain. We, on the other hand, have ethnic and variety of models. We have no trouble making livings as models. ???

CANADA NO BETTER THAN SYRIA AFGANISTAN IRAQ

Comment section clearly shows how punjabis ruined Canada.

Canada is not for rich immigrants.

*WHo the H3ll wants to live in a thought state police Canada. With the rudest ppl in the world. China's economy keeps getting stronger, while Canada keeps falling. Because China keeps China, Chinese. Unlike Anti Canadian, Canada.*

Canada is a horrible country, corrupt and undemocratic, the new wave is Canadians fleeing a bancrupt nation. Unfortunately Vancouver is the most manipulated real estate market. The taxation is crazy.

He has lots of valid complaints, says life was good and stable back in Nigeria, doesn't recommend Canada to others who have stable situations back home, says we should be building Africa, says quality of life is better in Nigeria, says he faces racial discrimination in Canada, says money goes further in Nigeria, but he's... staying here? \n\nGot it.

You say there is no Islamic environment in Canada. There are more than 50 Muslim countries in the world. You need to go and live in one of them. Better yet, take all your Muslim friends with you.

The people that are complaining about Canada have some valid points , as do I . But in travelling to other countries you really see how the good extremely out weighs the bad . The main problem in my opinion is allowing massive Immigration without improvement of services across every aspect of living . This leads to the degradation of the quality of life . Government can't have it both ways , Get sufficient housing and services or slow immigration . It's that simple

Canada is a country that looks good on paper, but the reality is much different.

I guess we did a right move. During the cold war we moved to Canada in Jan 1990 from former Czechoslovakia after spending almost 2 years in Austria to enjoy freedom. I remember renting a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 balconies in Brampton /ON for 360/M. In Mississauga 600/M for a 5 bedroom townhouse. Later on in Orangeville/ON I bought a fully detached house with a nice land with own swings and slides a swimming pool for 144 000.00. When the non stupidity in law started in 2002 we sold our house packed our things and went back to Europe. I always loved Canada as my second home but I guess the table has turned and we cherish freedom elsewhere. I am really sad about what's going on with Canada but it isn't really that hard to figure out why.

Why do all these people feel so entitled to believe that a foriegn country will lay out a red carpet for them, house them, feed them, clothe them, etc. Canada and the U.S. do not exist for these people to come and benefit from and there isnt an infinite amount of space, money or resources to provide for people that have never contributed to these countries economies, infrastructures, communities. You cannot push your way, scam and lie and then demand more while depleting resources and help meant for the citizens of that country. The expectations and entitlement is what gets me. There are processes for a reason and no one is above them!

Canada has always been expensive. I moved here from Texas for my wife. This isn't the same Canada I moved to though. It's far worse. The job market is crap. It's difficult to get a job in your field. It's easy to get useless jobs that have no long term career opportunities. Real estate is atrocious. Ninety year mortgages? That's just crazy. I don't foresee owning a home in Canada. Rent has gotten so high we refuse to move. We need a bigger place, but we can't afford it. The healthcare is not good, and the wait times are ridiculous. I got better healthcare when I paid out of pocket, but under provincial insurance it's pretty bad. It also doesn't have full healthcare like the UK. At least paying for insurance in the States, everything was covered. Wages suck, benefits are generally bad or nonexistent. My wife is finally about ready to get the hell out.

Your insights into the challenges facing my Canada are thought-provoking. Like any country, Canada is changingy, and addressing the very diverse concerns of its citizens future is a must. We find ourselves on a demographic cliff, a challenge documented since the baby boom in the '50s, with the repercussions felt today. The lack of prior planning is evident, and knee-jerk reactions from the government raise significant concerns for both those born here and those immigrating. \n \nAs a Canadian born and raised, I also worry about the future of my own children. The pace at which our builders are asked to construct is unrealistic. In 2023, builders were told to build 4.25 times faster than before, an impossible feat. While there may be available land for development, the shortage of builders makes the goal unattainable. In my local area, builders are working tirelessly, but the demand outpaces the supply. In Canada, for every 14 retiring construction workers there is only one to replace them. \n \nIn 2022, Canada welcomed 437,000 new permanent residents, over 604,000 temporary workers, 500,000 foreign students, and nearly 100,000 refugees, all of which significantly impact housing. More of the same in 2023, and I am sure more in 2024. Canada wants to grow its population to 100M people by 2100. We are only at 40M. Navigating the demographic cliff is an ongoing challenge, and more growing pains are expected. \n \nIt's important to acknowledge that perspectives vary based on one's region, economic status, and social context. If you reside in a rapidly growing area, your perspective might differ from those in other regions. The Canada of the past is transforming into a more multicultural future, which will help us all define our new path—whether it be in politics, economies, social issues, or regional dynamics. Your quoted figures lack context, and it's essential to consider the polls and news sources shaping your perspective on Canadians feeling Canada is 'broken.' As a Canadian, I certainly know it is changing.

Canada is a big boat in the middle of the sea and we only have so much food for the crew but lets keep being on passengers now we all starving but the captain isn't

I think Canada will manage to survive.....

You are no longer useful for Canada
