Make the best of what you got somewhere else, before coming to Canada

I think the system was designed intentionally to empty immigrants pockets and then push them out. Sell Canadian Dream, bring as much immigrants as possible. Make them pay crazy rents and keep them in never attainable certification limbo. By the time they realize they are already exploited by the system. They will end up spending all their life savings and youth in Canada doing odd low skill jobs. Cruel system for taking advantage over naive immigrants. I hope soon more and more immigrants will understand this and make wise decision of not coming to Canada at least for now.

You don’t need to leave Canada. There are affordable life outside the big cities with much higher quality of life. The government should discourage immigration to big cities

If you choose to come to Canada.. You choose to come on your own hard work. Nothing should be provided until you are 1st Generation Canadain.

One question for all you immigrants. Why Vancouver and Toronto? There is more to Canada you know.

Canada should stop all immigration - temporary and permanent residency for two years until we figure out housing situation.

Trudeaus legacy. Canada is no longer a haven to anyone.

I am looking to apply for the immigration just to get the passport then i will leave Canada.

There is a need to push out non contributing immigrants ... sooner Canada learns the better

Canada is the most amazing place except for Canadians

Im born and raised in Canada, and at 58 years old id love to leave.

What is the cost of living like in Europe compared to Canada. I would be curious to see that comparison. Also what about inflation, health care, crime rate, etc… \nThis also talks about Toronto a lot, one of the most expensive place in the country to live in. Housing there is unaffordable for many of us. All other places aside from Vancouver are more affordable.

Very fair and balanced commentary on Canada in 2023. Like you, I've lived in a few countries, and while life is comfortable for me here (only because I own my home from years ago before prices started going insane), I'm looking at exiting due to some of the factors you mentioned.

They also need to remove age barriers. I am an older teacher in the US with two credentials who has had my education certified by ICAS. However, I don't know whether I can get certified in Canada. I also have an allied health license but have not used that in some years. Overall health, rather than age should be the deciding factor.

I love this video... please have a friend who wanna be a student in canada and still work as a taxi or Uber driver...19y old..he already has a driver license here in Nigeria... please is it possible?

Yes, unfortunately, Canada is not the same country as years ago. I am also planning to return to my country in Europe, after 30 years....

Aap kya course krra Ho Canada may

The amusing aspect of new immigrants eager to work in snow packing here in Canada is that while a lot of people show up on the first day, by the second day, only half of them seem to make it to work because of much cold lol

You should be ashamed of yourself to give an impression to the poor people that this is an immigration Canada's program. Shame on you.

it is easy outthere in the US or CANADA as a simple as a man can grow where he can speaks then where he has to thinks what to say

You lost me at #2. It doesn't get talked about much because it is absolute nonsense. East Asians make more money than White Canadians. Culture matters. Two parents in the home matters. An inconvenient truth. Nine of the top ten countries from which Canada draws its immigrants are non white. Is that something a racist country would do? Let a generation pass before you complain there aren't enough poc in top positions. Are you supposed to run the bank the day you arrive? A qualified, capable, hard working poc is the most privileged person in Canada. And there has not been a single body unearthed at any residential school. Sorry lady, you are way off on this point.

There are just too many immigrants being let in. I’m shocked at the amount of international students at my college. I feel like its almost 90% are international students trying to get PR and some of them can barely write properly. The quality of work being put out by the students makes me question the integrity of schools. So many of them don’t care about what they’re studying and put minimal effort. All they want is PR. They are not willing to adopt Canadian values and I see people pushing and shoving to get on public transport instead of being civilized. I think immigrants from 30 years ago were a different group. Most were refugees and wanted a better life and were willing to adapt to Canadian culture and adopt new values. But nowadays, the mass of immigrants coming in are very different. Many of them are wealthy and are here not to make a better life for themselves and contribute to Canada. They are here to get PR in order to get Canadian benefits as its much better than their own countries. Some want to be able to move to the US later on. They’re taking advantage of the system and it’s f*cking the country.

I'm not Indian, I'm indigenous from Canada and I grew up in Vancouver, where the population is mostly from Asia. Being surrounded by people of asian descent is very normal for me. I don't expect anyone to assimilate and lose their culture to exist here. I knew we had a large population of Sikhs here but I didn't think it was nearly as many as in India... and now I find out there are more sikhs here than in India. Amazing. I also didn't know we had so many Sikhs in parliament, let alone Indians. My school is mostly Indian and everyone I talk to has come from Punjab. Everyone seems to love it here, and the school is in the middle of little Punjab so I've been told by my classmates it is the perfect place for the students who are homesick because they are surrounded by their community. I rarely hear English when I walk down the halls, there is even a course to learn to speak Punjabi, which I want to take so I can talk to the students who don't speak English as well. We have many large gurdwaras, and one near me I've eaten langar almost everyday for the past 10 years. Most people here know Sikhs to be very generous and humble. It was a shock to me when I heard the president of Guru Nanak Gurdwara was shot, because I believed Sikhs to be very kind and peaceful, and the gurdwara has a very good reputation as they take lots of food into Vancouver and feed the homeless. They even opened a kitchen in the DTES during the pandemic to be able to have food available to the people immediately. No one else did anything like that. They delivered a lot of food. Now they have an auxiliary kitchen in the DTES permanently that serves free meals. I thought more news would come out of the shooting but it seemed quiet for a bit until Trudeau accused the Indian government of the attack. This news also shocked me, so I decided to start looking into it slowly. I couldn't really get a good idea of what was going on until I searched a video for Diwali and your videos came up. I will share it with my husband so he can be educated on the matter as well. Thank you for your diligent research and dissemination of important knowledge.

Mam, Aap emotionally weak ho jo ki expose ho gya when you stayed alone in canada,which is alright.please check with any astrologer your moon in the chart must be debilitated. The thing is - in India we are overaly depend upon others and we get our things done really quickly and same is the case with you,Perhaps you never stayed in hostels or some other city alone,because if yours kids were there then you should not feel alone.

Canada is a country for less educated , low class peope from India. Someone who has no future in India can feel better in Canada as every kind of work or blue collar job pays well which will be impossible for them to make in India. Real idiots are those who are well settled in India, or have good business or have good education but still chose to go to Canada

Thanks for your update\nPls I need to know you more, am interested in Canada\n\nThank you Ma

Hello sir, I want to apply for a study permit with an open work permit for my husband but my question in that proof of fund like my husband has up to that amount in his bank account and I want to use him as my sponsor,will that be possible because he is also following me to Canada?\nSecondly,I didn't change my name to my husband name on my passport and documents but in our marriage certificate his surname was added to my name like normally I am Bolanle Adeniyi but addressed as Bolanle Adeniyi Olapade in our marriage certificate, is that enough to show we are married?

There is an invisible ceiling in Europe that you find it hard to breakthrough. The economy is not as competitive as the United States and Canada. You said the absolute truth!!

Canada is becoming a dictatorship. nobody wants to stay a dictator

Do I live in Canada.

The immigrants leaving Canada are Educated and peace loving they cant tolerate that Canada's cost of living and crime is going up in Canada.

Politicians letting housing become a speculative asset making homes like investments neglecting the citizens. The rate race to become a landlord made Canada behind in terms of innovation and standard of living

Truly canada is virtual Hell on earth been there twice n always came back tho I was Canadian PR n quit my PR last year… And india is truly heaven on earth .. personal assistance (maids n electricians plumbers ets) we get here is blessing guys ??

It must be extensively, aggressively, and relentlessly conveyed to the entire world that Canada unequivocally supports terrorism and is truly a terroristic nation.\nएक राष्ट्र के रूप में लोकतांत्रिक और आध्यात्मिक भारत को बड़े पैमाने पर और लगातार पूरी दुनिया को बताना होगा कि कनाडा स्पष्ट रूप से न तो केवल आतंकवाद का समर्थन करता है परंतु वास्तव में यह एक आतंकवादी राष्ट्र है।

Seems like if you dont make $40/h or work 80h per week you need to move somewhere cheaper. Lots of places in canada where you can buy a good house for $200,000...

I am African American woman in born and raised in United States. Decide go to moved Canada.I so glad I never stay in Canada all rascist going up there now and came back to United States. I was going moved on Toronto Canada this was 1984. I was I probably didn't notice rascist, but I had to leave Toronto, Canada cause funeral in USA. Afican taxi cab told me I wouldn't make it in Canada and this was in 1984. It very hard black person lived here. I very glad took his advice.

You can thank Trudeau for letting in all the immcgrants Canada has changed not just Toronto

All this video needs to say is trudeau and thats it, hes made canada unaffordable for all and bankrupted canadians coast to coast

Jaise india me bihari hai waise hi Canada me sikh hai. Lekin bahut jald canada khalistan ban jayega shayad

15 minute TORONTO video\nFirst 5 mins... me, I, I, ME\n Next 2 mins, ADD\nnext 8 mins?\n A video about CANADA housing issues.\nYOU mentioned Toronto (your topic) Aprox 3 minutes of 15.\n\n Change your title to:\nCanadian housing crisis.\n\nWith that title, here's my comment.\n \n Good take on the Canadian housing issue.\nTy

I WISH I could leave Canada, not only cuz of inflation but cuz of their support of Israel towards bombing palestinians. But I have no choice but to stay in a country that support the killings of over 10,000 how sad. SHAME! The true terrorists.

I am from the Philippines, and I have many relatives in Canada, and they are FRUSTRATED about the high costs of living, many of them, especially the Older generations are coming back to the Philippines, because of the HIGH costs of living, fortunately for me, I choose to MIGRATE to the US, which is for me is a LOT easier, again, maybe this is according to your own settings.

Mirip sekali negara ini, negara dengan salah satu pendapatan tertinggi di dunia tapi rakyatnya banyak terlantar di jalanan, saya merasa bersyukur tinggal di Indonesia bisa menikmati hidup dgn nyaman dan bahagia bersama keluarga dan kerabat, meskipun gaji 20 x lebih kecil dari Canada

To be honest, i have second thought as well of leaving Canada... i love Canada but i find it so hard to live.. not jist extremely cold weather during winter but you have to chase your hobbies as well and the way of living here is supee high... I am an islander..i came from a beautiful tropical island..and I really miss home so much..white sand beach, tuquoise water, whale watching,dolphin watching,island hopping,scubba diving, free diving , mountain hiking, and more... i really miss it..i am planning to settle my retirement back home...

Canada is a 3rd world country

The more that come in, the more problems, more homeless, higher cultural crimes and violence, more scammers and dilution of Canadian values will keep destroying Canada!

Liberals and NDP politicians are destroying Canada!!!

THAT VIDEO DOES NOT TEL THE TRUTH BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ONE CANADA BUT TEN. THE CANADA YOU DESCRIBE IS THE ONTARIO AND MAINLY TORONTO BUT IT IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COUNTRY. THE REALITY IS THAT CANADA DOES NOT EXIST . EACH PRIVINCES IS A WHOLE COUNTRY AS DIFFERENT AS EUROEANS COUNTRIES ARE FROM EACH OTHER. SO IF I HAD TO EMIGRATE TO CANADA I WOULD NOT CHOSE ONTARIO. \nANGLOSAXON RACISM IS SILENT AND HYPOCRITICAL. IT DIVIDES AND CONTINUES EVERYONE INTO THEIR RACIAL SPACE BY DISCOURAGING INTEGRATION. ON THE CONTRARY, QUEBEC HAS DECIDED TO INTEGRATE ITS IMMIGRANTS AND TO BAN CERTAIN DIVISIVE CHARACTERISTICS FROM PUBLIC SPACE. SEVERAL IMMIGRANTS COME FROM COUNTRIES AT WAR WHOSE POPULATIONS HATE THEMSELVES. QUEBEC IS DOING ITS BEST TO ENSURE THAT THE OVERLY VISIBLE MARKS OF THESE DISPUTES ARE RESTRICTED AND THAT WHAT UNITES US IS PRIVILEGED OVER WHAT DIVIDES US. QUEBEC IS AIMING FOR INTEGRATION AND NOT APARTEID.

Put in policies to increase Canada's birthrate like Finland, Hungary Japan and Korea.

Canada has become a destitute Third World wasteland.
