Canadian s always complaining about USA but it is probably the number 1 place for us to visit. Border crossings are often jam packed. Millions of snowbirds spend months in the USA for the weather and all the other advantages. Canadians don’t always tell the truth. Canada has it share of problems too but never talk about it. Again, take away the gun issue and Canadians love USA and Americans. I think Canadians like to show they are different but actually aren’t that much

1.4 billion indians and they all wanna be in Canada..\nsheesh...fix up your back wards education system

The Canadian immigration system is fair and easy to understand. Unfortunately Canadian employers always ask for Canadian experience. In no other country was I ever asked this. After immigrating to Canada and failing for many years I finally moved to the US where I have been far more successful and happier. Just returned from a trip to Toronto where I have many good friends. The traffic is a nightmare and the housing is unaffordable. Canada is wasting all these highly skilled immigrants. They need to provide housing and effective labor force integration. They need to recognize foreign qualification and cut the insufferable red tape. It was an issue when I was part of an IEP (Internationally Educated Professionals) conference over 18 years ago and I see it has not changed. Given a free choice most immigrants would chose the United States. Why? Because despite all the craziness, Americans only care if you can do the job. And they are very welcoming. There is a positive energy that anything is possible. And I am now a very proud American. I will do anything for this country. Canada is a great country but it is wasting their new immigrants.

Having problems with people getting past that border and trying to get into canada as well we have enough homeless issues in canada wtf

So, Canada is not the free ride that immigrants thought it would be? I do wonder where these immigrants go to after they leave Canada? Hmm, i wonder.

ਤੁਸੀ canada ਜਾ ਕੇ ਹਿੰਦੀ ਬੋਲਣ ਲੱਗ ਪਏ, ਇਹ ਕਿ ਭਾਣਾ ਵਰਤ ਗਿਆ

Stop the east Indian to then they flooded it bad here's Canada and us

Ahh Canada, where I can have amazing food from every culture in the world because we let everyone come in. Stellar Indian Curries, Vietnamese Pho, Malaysian face melting Laksa's and everything inbetween.

Suck Vancouver Canada BC\nI wasted 21 years to late to understand.\nWhole my life wasted Small expensive drugs City.\nAlso I'm Canadian\nI'm.sorry for my words

canada is a shit hole (born and raised here) yesterday there was a job fair at a grocery store and the line of people applying was over a km - for the lowest level position possible. rent in a town no one in the world has ever heard of is more than N.Y.C or Tokyo. we have thousands of homeless immigrants sleeping outside in camps in toronto as they have no where to go and everywhere you go in this country someone is dying from the opioid epidemic, crime has gone up 50% in many cities. no one will ever buy a house and the people born here cant/wont have kids because its to expensive. the Canadian population is dying out bc out government is trash and instead of helping us they bring in more immigrants who will take the shit housing with 14 adults in 1 room and wont call the labour board when they are exploited. that is why Canada accepts so many immigrants bc they are exploitable - very easy to see when you live here its disgusting.

The numbers in this presentation is slanted. Yes average incomes in the US are higher than Canada’s. But average incomes are slanted due to the wealth inequality of the number of multi billionaires in the US. If you take into consideration median income, which is a much more effective calculation of wealth distribution Canadians actually make more than Americans. Even accounting for PPP. We are also more educated, have a much greater literacy rate, live longer and healthier, and have a higher quality of life rating.

Love Canada

Those immigrants will get Canadian citizenship and use TN visa to get back to work in the US, so the US will still win and Canada will still lose.

I’m a bit late to this discussion but I agree with the 99.9% of other responses. Although, I have enjoyed trips to beautiful areas of the US, & live close to the border where a day trip was a common occurrence. I now hesitate to even travel there as I do worry about gun violence, racism & honestly cannot understand the cult of followers who would even consider voting for an incompetent, narcissistic criminal to lead their country…. it’s mind blowing! You are desensitized regarding violence/school shootings… choose where you live? What’s the guarantee that this couldn’t happen anywhere in the US, even rural areas? On the topic of living in Canada, it’s beautiful with lots of country to see/enjoy from west coast to the east coast & we have healthcare, a government (although not perfect) elected by & working for the people. I’m proud to be Canadian, wouldn’t move for anything! We’re your neighbour but as it happens sometimes we just can’t believe what’s going on next door.

Canada has the best immigration programs ??

kia karnay kia aye ho canada me phir....!!!!

Been trucking for 40 yrs and have spent most of my time in the states for the past 20 of those. There’s no way I’d move to the US. I’ll visit and go there for work but I’ll keep my domicile in Canada

We need to also hold every politician who went along with Trudeau’s stupid policies that only serve to damage Canada. ????. Liberal and NDP politicians allowed this Make them accountable ?

Reminds me of the Simpsons clip \n*Bart:* Hey Immigrants, beat it! Country's full! \n*Captain:* Okay folks, you heard the lady. Back into the hole. We'll try Canada\n*Immigrants:* Oh No (incoherent mumbling)

I live in Canada and while I don't consider it to be perfect whenever I look south and see what is happening there I am so thankful I live here. Maybe the average US income is higher but a hospital stay could bankrupt you. Housing costs are higher. Poverty is higher. Inequality in distribution of wealth is higher. Number of guns per capita is much higher. Taxes are lower. Average lifespan is lower. Prison population per capita is much higher. You win in so many ways... I guess?

The system is not broken - the primary goal of US immigration is to keep people OUT. Canada has an abundance of natural resources and living space, and needs people. The USA already has an abundance of people. As this video shows so clearly, billions of people want to come, while unemployment continues to be a problem. So, while the immigration system is far from perfect, it accomplishes its primary goal of filtering out the most qualified and most determined people and sending the rest back home, thus keeping jobs available for American-born citizens. We can disagree with the goal, but not it's success.

I would NEVER move to the US- ANYWHERE - between the batshit crazy, political (fascist)-racist-religious fanaticism, crappy private education in many jurisdictions not to mention the guns and the absolutely disgusting attitude towards healthcare (it is only good for some things, doesn't include a lot of what we get covered here in Canada and if you lose your job, you lose your coverage). The ONLY good thing the US has in advantage over Canada is the currency exchange and there isn't enough of everything else in the US to make up for that!

Yes, they are quite valid. I wanna ask if you both have left Canada now. That will decide my next question

Canadian here - I've lived and worked in NYC and graduated university from Gonzaga in Spokane. I wish the US won the war of 1812 and Canada was part of America. I think Trump is unpleasant but Trudeau is worse. The legal system here sucks. The RCMP are soldiers not police. I'd move to the US in a heartbeat. I like the gun laws there and hunting wild pigs down south would be fun. Maybe I will one day spend more time there.

Lol you mean Canada's immigration disaster!

This isn’t a good thing for Canada at all

yet making money in canada sucks compared to america. I want to move to usa just to make money easier and not have it mostly taken by taxes and living expenses being much cheaper in usa

We need the American immigration system in Canada. We need to set a quota on how many people from a given country can receive a green card. All you see now in the GTA and Vancouver are Indians. At the 7:50 mark, Sanjay's employer has to prove he won't negatively impact the wages of US workers, In Canada, due to high immigration, our wages have been stagnant while cost-of-living increases. This is a product of stupid immigration policy set by the current government which wants to bring in 1M immigrants per year.

I have lived in Canada for 53 years. It is one of the best and safest countries in the world. \nPlease count your blessings!

Thanks so much for these information. I have been following you for quite a while. My question is that my wife is a Nurse who applied for Alberta Nursing board registration. Now she has been approved to write ENCLEX, an Entry exams. But she has to come to Canada through Visiting visa. Do you think is adviceable for her to come visa visiting visa. Thanks

In India posh area are also same like Canada nobody knows how are living in neighbors

About to move to Canada because it's easy lol. Especially for someone from Hong Kong

Rip Canada and US

I’m a Mexican software engineer. And even though higher salaries and the ease of TN visas are tempting, I’m thinking that going to Canada with express entry is the way to go for me

It's cute that you think immigration in canada works. It's actually broken and hurts the quality of life of every canadian.

Watching this from Canada as an international student.

Are they mostly moderate or high skill immigrants?\nOh wow, nvm\nWow that's a lot of money, especially if you're immigrating to the USA!!!! :O!!!!!\nTy Canada for helping to be a stop gap for the USA lol

Professionals in Australia are far better than Canada and USA. Weather, people, lifestyle everything. I am in Aus since 2004. Mechanical engineer wife Pharmacist and most of our friend in good jobs and enjoy life. Been to Canada and US....There is no comparison. Yes if you are a failure in life then its a bad experience but then dont blame the country blame your abilities....that you are not good enough to make it happen....

Secret weapon to do what? Destroy real young Canadians chance to ever own a home or start a family? American’s immigration policy should be more strict. Canada’s a lost cause and will be majority Asian in the near future. This is just anti-White bigotry being pushed by the ‘’’banking class’’’

Canada is basically a 3rd world country now.\nIncredibly expensive, no doctors, no housing, massive rise in crimes and drugs.\nCanada in nicknamed Chindia.

I thought it might be possible that you found an echo chamber, so I did some quick Googling. Apparently about 2.5% of Canada's immigrants are American, while 2% of America's immigrants are Canadian. Given the approximately 10-1 population ratio, that's a lot of Canadians moving to the US. I guess the Canadians who would move to the US don't hang out on Reddit.

Then stop letting so many FKN immigrants into Canada!!!!!

DO NOT MOVE TO CANADA!

“I love Montreal,” said the chef at the beginning of episode four of the first season of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. “It is my favourite place in Canada

This is embarrassing for Canada.

having spent a far amount of time in the USA for business something I noticed a long time ago is coming across from you and how you see your country and I believe it has to do with NEWS sources. By that I mean what I found was given what city I was in at the time would determine the news I was given on the tv. Basically your news you receive daily is not the as someone in another states, meaning your view of subject matter is scewed according to how it is presented to you. \nIn Canada news is basically presented the same across the entire country, with far less local interpretation of the event being talked about.
