Great video - it's true my family came here 20 years ago and I'm greateful but it certainly is expensive. \n\nThe type of employment you have makes a big difference - I'm a big fan of people applying for government to take advantage of the benefits - especially at retirement - and then having a side hustle. \n\nI'm looking to help people set themselves up for the long term and being a position to afford cost of living and comfortably raising a family in Canada. Which frankly can be hard but it is possible. \n\nGreat video

Will my resume references still not work if I solely worked for US companies, whilst living in Ukraine? The US has the same country code as Canada, so there should be no problem with calling my employers. \n\nThank you in advance.

It's easy to be in the lower middle class in Canada. This is what attracts some immigrants who otherwise would be poor in their home country. But for people who can be middle class in their home country, Canada (and all of western countries) is not a good choice for them

Asher bhai kindly u sponserd us I want to to came Canada

If you like asian culture indian culture\nAnd drug addicts and super high cost of living. Radical liberals and lgbtq activists\nYoull love Canada

There are so many immigrants who are commenting here and don't like Canada. Just leave!!!!

I disagree with both of you. You care complaining about Canada, yet you come here from another country where you don't have opportunities. I'm guessing you live in Toronto and yes it is expensive, and you haven't experienced other provinces. Toronto has a big city attitude. You are really only speaking about one city. As far as the cold weather? Don't complain about it when you're here. You should've done your research and consider how climate change is changing weather all over the world. Immigrants come to Canada and expect to get everything handed to them. Please move to another country.

More immigrants come to Canada because they are refugees and trying to scape Middle East ! And Canada accepts them because we’ll someone is gotta wash the dishes and buss

Note that in Canada the population is also concentrated along the edges in this case, along the US border. I think that something like 90% of Canadians live within 50 miles of the US border. Beyond that, it's not the Outback, it's more likethe tundra. Also, Canada has a lot of beautif spots, but the are far away from each other snd sometimes from the big cities. So you will have some long trips ahead of you.

I'm watching this as if I have the money to move to Canada lol

It's great video, facts of Canada truly.

I lived in Ontario for more than half my life, and making fun of Quebec was a cornerstone of life. If you take away montreal which is a huge outlier from the rest of the province you end up with mostly xenophobic hillbillies, lower wages, dilapidated infrastructure that becomes immediately apparent the second you cross the border, highest income tax in the country offsetting their modest property taxes, and some of the most ridiculous provincial laws ever written to preserve their French culture. My previous employer literally could not sell their medical service software in Quebec because it was not practical for them to comply with localization laws even though French language was fully supported. I personally rank rural Quebec as the worst place to live in Canada because it's one of the only places in the world that prevents businesses from operating there over bullshit like font sizes on packaging or other graphics.

Ok Canada Sucks... Who is leaving?... By the whining comments I feel much hope for the future

flexible and open-mind,I like this video so much,It encourages me to continue my efforts to immigrate to Canada,thanks to both of you,You guys are so great.

Here in my country they dont talk about the other face of canada.,so almost everybody wants to go to canada?they will do everything just to get there...

Very good video, I wish I knew it all in 2014! Taxes, OMG this was such a nasty surprise when my grocery bill was higher than what I saw on a price tag. Funny that a lot of this is true in Switzerland as well. Switzerland hates overachievers but values team work. Always respect your team, help and be polite are absolute dealbreakers. Other aspects of cultural norm also works. Remember how Canadians were closed when it comes to personal topics, Swiss people are reserved and it takes time to get closer to them but they can also been direct when it comes to a civil state, at least this happened to me. \nFunny fact: when I arrived in Switzerland I had Canadian views of a distance and annoyed people by saying 80km is close, but when I explained I used to live in Canada they understand I need time to adjust. \nI lived 5yrs in Toronto and never get issues with winter, but I hate summer heat not winter.

Each country has its own pros and cons and question is whether cons are balanced by pros. \nI remember when Austrian colleague come to Toronto for a 3 months for a scientific exchange. She was shocked, whereas I, being in my 5th year of my stay there, I no longer react but adapt to a situation. \n\nAs for doctors, I know foreign doctors who can't practice as is taking forever to get papers done. Some of them need to pass all exams from a medical school. \n\nYou reminded me how I was annoyed by tax not included in a price. In Poland price on a price tag is final, the same for the UK or Switzerland. \nSilent racism I will call it fake openness as it also touches white immigrants from Europe. The job market is sealed shut and glass door awaits. My Canadian, academic job experience was good enough for the UK and Switzerland/Liechtenstein. Funny fact, recently I got invitation to apply for a job in Canada as suddenly I am good enough. Of course no one ever invited me to the network so networking is not. Even funnier I was interviewed for a job but when I saw rent for 1 bedroom in Toronto I withdrawn my application.\n\n I was told old building in Switzerland are bad. Maybe. But after living in a carton wall studio in Toronto, now rent is above 2,000 CAN, I have very low expectations. Remember my shock when I saw quality of a buildings.

Clearly this man isn't from Canada or he'd pronounce our names correctly.

Namasthe bro???iam Ex Army, 16 years Army mai experience, Mujhe Canada mai security job Milne ka help karo bro,Thanks bro?

I want to move from us to Canada, mean reason the immigration is broken in usa for Indian and I don’t want my Indian born kid to face same uncertainty . We are earning in upward of 500k and have to take massive pay cut. After reading the comments and watching videos. I’m getting so confuse. I’m okay to earn less money but Canada should at least provide better healthcare and housing. Look like lot of thing are broken in Canada. Does moving to Canada is really worth? Would people commenting here, will you ever move back to your home country?

Correction to earlier comment Quebec spends at least a billion a year to have its own tax return \nQuebec has the highest income tax in Canada that is almost double British Columbia and Alberta\nAccording to an article in the Journal of Quebec, it wastes/spends at least a billion dollars per year by having its own provincial tax return, unlike all the other provinces that use the Canadian federal system.\nIt gives unnecessary employment to about 7,000 people who could be doing more useful things for the Province

We are visiting our daughter and son in law in Canada and we are sponsyfor ourselves. How much funds should we show? When I filled up the new IRCC portal you have shown, there is no options to upload funds separately. Where to add the support documents like bank statement

Also remember alot of new comers to Canada is NOT told the truth they come here and realize they were mislead and some can't turn back.and also ppl live better on the pensions in their country not in Canada its too expensive. THEY ALSO COME HERE FOR PENSIONS AND GOVERNMENT HELP AND passports yes u are correct!!

CANADA ?? Is Great ? \nYou just missed your home mommy and dady ?making roties only for you?

im not a dangerous person i just want to build my dreamlife in canada

Newbies trying to migrate to Canada is very difficult task without a good immigration consultant services, Mr Ethan Ray selfless services to humanity towards Canadian visa processing is really amazing, for enquiries.

I am interesting to move to Canada I am from Jamaica any advice please. I am also happy marriage with four kids.

Aap Canada mein kahan se ho

sir allah apko salamat rakhe ap bahut ache hai sir merii pass duploma hai me apply karsakta ho canada kilye

I get canada visa

The problem is people come to this country with dreams and expectations only to see the realities of living in Canada. In my opinion their is racism but its covert its covered up with passive aggression. Ontario the G. T. A is ridiculously expensive and peoples income isn't going up. Toronto very expensive. The lifestyle is boring, and it's very Conservative as much as we that are hate to admit

Most people move to Canada and want to live in America North, Toronto, well Toronto has become like any US city, plenty of open daytime shootings, most of Canada would vote to remove the GTA from Canada, I personally love it in Toronto, wouldnt live there but I do like to visit.

WELCOME TO Canada. home of sizzel not bcon.

Canadian government is dishonest to everyone, it doesn't matter you are citizen or not. Canada has its master, don't care about ppl. look at Germany, there is no German blood, its all immigrants and government does whatever. same with canada. small group of ppl get rich and thats it.

To many undocumented Immigrants in Canada already… they are taking everyone’s jobs who actually were born here…. Our Heath care System has fallen apart… it’s impossible to find a place to live because all the undocumented immigrants rent them out…. Literally Canada has fallen apart compared to 15 years ago…. The homeless population is completely out of control… everything in this country has fallen apart…

Everything has a price to pay, if you struggle in college, whatever the reason may be, living away from family, being alone, whatever the reason is. This is a price we have to pay for a successful future. Also, parents who really want to send their kids abroad, send them to good tier 1 European countries, Germany, France, Italy, Spain etc., US and Canada is just a slaughterhouse, the amount of money spent on a child's education there is unhealthy, universities in Germany are free, and the living expenses also aren't as expensive as US or Canada, had i known about Germany before I applied to US universities, i wouldve saved my parents a lot of money

Where was Canada Revenue Agency?

Udatta Punjab,, ?????, many fake universities in Canada, UK, Russia and china. Robbing international students

i always felt this was the case, but oh my god i never thought this scam was so layered and big. I was once applying for my mba colleges for the US and every consultant i called for some insight used to force me to canada and brag about advantages of permanent residence.

This increase in immigration thresholds is not necessarily good news, one of Justin Trudeau's unavowed goals of which is to drown the country's Francophones, Canada's first founding people. In this post-national multicultural Canada, where will the cohesion be between these peoples who will carry with them their values ​​and resentments incompatible with North American values ​​and habits and customs? The Trudeau government is thus opening Pandora's box...

Salaam sameer sb.main apni wife aur 3 bacho k sath canada visa apply kerun to kitna % chance hy....plz reply

Go and get your refrendum \nGo Canada\nGo my brothers

These kids come from good home. Terrible. People have gone crazy in India to go to Canada.

i also have to say i am against mass immigration. a lot of crime coming with this, bet a lot of you do not know that Canada has a back door deal with th united states and their open borders. a lot of them are coming here.

I left Canada because it is becoming a s*** place... Lots of refugees, lots of problems... enough for me...

I know a family that sold everything to send their son to Canada for school, he ended up committing suicide, he couldn't work full time to support his family due to that his father died for lack of money to afford an adequate medical assistant. he committed suicide 4 days after his father's death.

Canada has become an open holding pen for the Uber rich. Selling Canadian’s future for short term gains disguised as “diversity”.

Education and job prospects are 100 times better in India compared to Canada. People only realize this after paying so much money.\n\nEveryone is in race to leave india and root cause of the problem is social media photos.

Canada’s full. They can fix the problems in their own country instead of coming here. Oh wait thats right they don’t take any initiative to fix their own problems. They just hop ship and take handouts instead.
