I immigrated to Canada in 2010, and here are my experiences inside and outside Canada. I am grateful for a good education; having a Canadian passport opened up many opportunities in other countries to build a higher-level career. However, if I had known the amount of stress, health, and financial damage that I had to endure, I wouldn't have chosen to come to Canada. I would have remained in the US or EU countries where I could achieve even more without suffering to the level I did here. \n\nMisleading immigration promotion: The government-sponsored Canadian immigration program oversells what Canada can offer. It withholds information on the cost of living, chicken-and-egg problems like Canadian work experience is required to get a job at the same level as you are in, Canadian credit history is required to rent a proper apartment, Canadian education is required to secure a high-level job, etc. \n\nHiring process: I knew the Canadian system was not ideal for immigrants over a decade ago, but it got so bad now that even the born citizens are unable to survive. The Canadian government and employers lack a basic understanding that ambitious, high-achieving people immigrate to other countries for high-level positions using proper channels. It's ridiculous to see that Canada uses a point-based system to choose highly qualified personnel to enter their country yet expects them to pursue low-paying entry-level or labor jobs just because they have brown/black skin. At first, I thought having a Canadian degree and experience might help me get high-level jobs, and I didn't think how I spoke or looked would matter when I had high credentials to show off. So, I got my masters & Ph.D. from the Univesity of Toronto, which consistently ranks #1 in Canada. I have a bachelor's from a prestigious university in Asia and had a high-competitive, well-paid federal government job in another country. Still, none of that was recognized in Canada, and I had to volunteer for over 6 months, 10 to 12 hours/day, in a research lab that led to a funded PhD program. I worked even harder during my Ph.D. with many accomplishments, like 40+ research and leadership awards, internationally recognized scientific discoveries, and innovative technologies. I checked all the above and beyond in various domains (research, teaching, leadership, business, engineering consulting, collaborations, etc.). Yet, employers couldn't see past my race, gender, age, etc., and refused to give me the opportunity at the level of my qualifications. Luckily, I managed to secure short-term work in the UK & the US, and it changed even how I see myself. I was highly respected for my credentials, given higher positions than I applied for, and paid 3-4 times more salary and benefits. Of course, bias is an integral part of every society, but my race, gender, age, etc., were not as big of an issue to begin my career at the mid-career stage in these countries as opposed to Canada. \n\nHealthcare: Access to healthcare was another big challenge for me. When I moved to Canada in 2010, due to extremely low temperatures, I developed hives all over my body, my eyes got red, and I coughed for many months. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with me and refused to give me any medication. It took us years to get a family doctor, and we got one through my personal network. In 2015/2016, I developed an autoimmune disease, and my eyeballs popped out. As of today, I did not get to see an eye specialist as they have only 1 specialist in the area, and the waiting time is for years for the first consultation. Every time the family doctor told me that I had iron deficiency, even when I insisted that they should run additional tests and they cleared, they were flagged. The doctor never diagnosed my autoimmune condition. Luckily, during my short-term work in the UK, I saw competent interns who completed my care. NHS is poorer than the medical system in Canada... they are understaffed, don't have hospital beds after surgery, or don't have stock of paper gowns, yet the staff are highly competent and caring. Within 1-2 years, they did complete diagnosis by sending me to various specialists, completed eye surgery, and even found a lifelong condition that was preventing me from realizing my full potential. Following, in the US, the doctors confirmed the diagnosis of all the conditions within 1-2 months and put me on two small pills for life. It has dramatically changed my life, and I have even more admiration for the medical profession. While in Canada, I suffered for over a decade, and every time, I was treated as a hypochondriac and never given a single prescription. \n\nQuality of life: Big cities like Toronto are mainly affected by high crime rates, overpopulation, cost of living, low employment, low salaries, etc. A few months back, there was a huge auto theft, and one of my contacts lost their Lexus car within minutes of parking. Despite being a scientist, I have no faith in politicians or individuals fixing these problems. The salaries are not increasing, but the taxes and cost of living are on the exponential growth curve. The ridiculous part is that Canada expects you to pay taxes even when you are not employed or living in Canada! I lived in London and Boston, and they offer a much higher quality of life and pay. \n\nGrowth potential: No wonder Canada, being a G7 country, falls at the bottom of the list in innovation, equal opportunities, economic growth, etc. It has a decent education system but, due to its inherent bias in the hiring process and monopoly of certain businesses, loses talented immigrants and highly qualified Canadians to the US, the UK, and EU markets. Unless there is a dramatic shift in policies, Canadians, especially new immigrants, cannot expect any positive experience in Canada except for being discriminated against and losing valuable time and money by being there.

Bias question, she means is the time you arabesque get the he'll.out of Palestine you do not belong their, free Palestine

Well said.\nThe bias reporter should never be allowed to ask such horrible questions to push Jewish propaganda.

What a beautiful response to a hateful question by a biased reporter

We said Mr PM,the reporter sound biased - western media are been controlled by the lobbies ?

i see these types of videos all the time, i'm sure there are a lot of videos similar saying something about why ppl are leaving that country (Italy, Japan, Bulgaria, Greece etc ...) \ni think the title is correct, there are a lot of delusional ppl in the world who want \na) amazing 6 figure salary \nb) affordable housing \nc) perfect weather\nd) safety with zero violence \ne) perfect infrastructure (health care, transportation, police etc ...)\nf) easy immigration process\nseriously? try getting a Citizenship in the Scandinavian countries and see how that goes!\nthere is NO country that checks all those boxes and in the it's always these immigrants who talk trash about a country they are TRYING to immigrate to while their country is rapidly declining\ni'm grateful for this country and i'm not ignorant, i've travelled to more than 60 countries so i've seen how ppl live around the world and Canada is in the top 5 countries to live in the world maybe top 3 honestly (i'm not being biased, i wasn't even born here) \nppl need to realize that \na) not many countries have open doors where you can just pick where you wanna immigrate to\nb) immigration process is painfully long and expensive, especially to countries where many ppl wanna immigrate to\nc) quality of life is RELEVANT to cost of living so stop thinking that you can get this AMAZING quality of life for a cheap cost\nd) your College Degree from some school nobody has heard of is pretty much useless wherever you immigrate to so don't think you'll be flooded with jobs and that you'll be making 6 figures in a matter of months\ne) you're not that special and the country will not revolve around you, what you want and what you need\nf) there are probably millions of ppl at this very moment who live in much worse conditions than you do so stop complaining about it and be grateful

also I heard in the work place they are biased towards Canadians, which means they will get promotion first even if you are more skilled and competent immigrant. Is that true?

Canada s immigration system is bias it doesnt cater to africans anymore visa applications will be refused 80% per cent of the time . In immigration files they have is set up by AI . Also immigration official have a nasty word for africans application called the dirty 30

Why is the comment section turned off by all CBC on all videos related to Gaza? Shame on your biased journalism. Shame on your race

For whose don't know Pakistan is part of India back in the day and when a mother sees her two children fighting, she can't choose a side or be bias as a result she will broken into pieces just like Pakistan and India. Imagine if Pakistan was not seperated and both relegions are respected, India will be a great good example to other countries

I was thinking about back to my homeland also, somehow living in canada getting bad… the value of family decreasing, anti babies bias… downgrading man, woman not real one anymore, sex education already introduce and force by government start the age of 4 years,, genders become so many… education ended produce WOKE, …life become confusing in here

Bye!!! Goodluck!! Canada isn't what it used to be and I don't blame anyone for wanting to leave. Citizens that were born here are thinking about leaving because of what Trudeau has turned this country into. With his blatant disregard for human and Charter rights, multiple scandals, ethics violations, conflicts of interest, corruption, the elimination of informed consent, propaganda and biased journalism, ridiculous woke ideology, crooked legal system, doubling of the housing market, massive increases in taxes and the cost of everything, homelessness and food bank usage at record highs, the educational system turned into crap, the list goes on and on.

No fair hiring. Full saturation. Not enough opportunities, and outsourcing the canadian jobs to foreign countries and their Canadian Branches. No jobs for canadian graduates. Bringing in foreign students with no planning. Even after 10 years of experience cant get a 2nd job. Need connections. There is bias in hiring practices. No one there to question the canadian employers who take benefit from government and hire foreign workers instead of local canadian professionals or the canadian graduates

The immigration system here is biased and messed up they pick choose and refuse who they want and discriminate alot and they say they have no one to do the jobs but yet when you apply they turn you down for everything I tried for mg kids to come here to visit their sick grandmother and they turned them down like who in the hell they have making these decisions in the immigration system, but yet they'll give countless Indian students visas and and work permits to come here and turn down a couple kids

31% above average so what % come and then leave? Stats are biased without context

That's must .. schools or college shouldn't allow anything religious inside and especially that can be matter of security\n\nI respect my religion too but can't be bias on this

Have resided in America for a period of time...in a smaller community.. the Americans are beautiful warm people which I met..Canadians are quick to bias there opinion of america..if your free enterprising I had a wonderfully time there..and willing to understand Americans think quite different . Americans say what they need in negotiations Canadians say what are you prepared to give me outta the deal.....as for other respondents fear of safety and socialist needs..there are general laws in both countries which protect all.......Canadian see is legacy media accounts of violent events... America's population is 10 x s that of Canada are greatly inflluenced buy Canadian legacy brand media . Accounts people should really factor that into the equation..there have been some absolutely crazy violent events happen in Canada involving guns and other instruments... Love your channel Tyler .it's interesting how many Canadians watch it trying to appreciate what Canada looks like to american

Canada needs to automate our government with AI. This would remove the inherent bias and corruption within our current government. Canadian citizens have been abandoned and betrayed by those in power who will never understand the meaning of hardship. I am withholding my labour from Canada until workers rights and wages improve.

Only You Tuber whose reasearch and knowledge is not bias. Respect Sir❤

Very fair evaluation, without any bias. Thanks

Great job....extensive reseasrch, covering various aspects without any biasness and political motivation. Thanks for spreading awareness with clarity of thoughts.

it's good to remember responder bias too. Canadians who are living in the US and are overall happy & content with it, are probably a lot less likely to respond to online questions like this.

The video was greatly done very detailed explained, but Out of curiosity the part where you say the guy killed two Punjabi police officers? What evidence did you get that backed it up? And what does the term terrorist mean to you in this video? Although your research is factually however the term implied to the situation in the 90’s are a bit vulgar and bias?

Yeah people in punjab face when indian police assault n kill kids women n youth thats why they r afraid of it and your info is biased n government affiliated

so proud of you nitish sir. because you tell facts and you are not biased. i love this about your channel. no bias you tell facts. thanks am waiting for other video.

This is the kind of content we expect from every youtuber....rather than tagging anyone a separatist, this is how u explain the situation without being biased...Appreciate the efforts and his team of nitish to look into ground reality....

Very biased video.. a lot of biased comments..

He is the only one who is not biased

I really like and appreciate your content. It’s the most non biased content anywhere which is very hard to see anywhere

Why you always give example of bjp ? And no other political party?? Biased

Biased as always

It would be better if he did some pro punjabi research. Smells biased

Nice information, did not find any bias.

Thanku for making this video and for being honest with all the facts and Reality. We realy appreciate for presenting all the real facts about sikks and punjab with so much clearity and non biasness.

This is the kind of content we expect from every youtuber....rather than tagging anyone a separatist, this is how u explain the situation without being biased...Appreciate the efforts to look into ground reality....

Sikho ko mara gaya sikho ka sentiment hurt hua, lekin Punjab mai Indians ko mara gaya. Biased

Y ur always so biased while uttering words, like army ne akal takht ko nuksan pahucha Diya tha lekin Indra Gandhi ji ka murder ni death hogai thi. You kuch acha to Sikh kuch bura like illegal immigrant to Indian. You are so biased and always try to portray your own agenda, while acting up like sacchai ki murti. Don't be biased for factual terms if Sikhs are majority in Canada than those are Sikhs who are majority in illegal migration to Canada.

Finally, we have a youtuber who is not biased. Hats off to you!!

**This video is going to set a milestone. A very skillful and biased information.**

Biases towards sikhs shame on you

Yet nitish rajput clearly dodged and did not tell about 2 Indian officer from Indian consulate in Canada who did not board the kanishka flight just minutes before departure… a planned move from Indian intelligence agency to defame the image of Sikhs in the world… nitish rajput a good content creator but biased on Sikhs issues similar to what he has done in amritpal singh video

I am a Indian ( punjabi)Sikh. Ham Punjab me khusi se rah rahe hai . Phle ki sarkaro ne bhut luta hai . Ab bhagwant mann achha kam kar rhe unse thodi umid hai. Hamare Punjab ki mitti ko jehr bna dia hai pesticides dal kar aur pani ka level bhut niche ja chuke hai . App. 2040 se pehle hi khatam ho jayega???. But, Bro your facts are all truth without any bias. Love you Bro❤❤

Nitish ji apki video bahut hi informative and non-biased hoti hain. Jo issue hota hai aap usi par baat karte ho koi political narative nhi set nhi karte isliye apki video dekhna bahut acha lagta hai. \nIsi tarah aap apni videos banate rehna, dhruve rathi ya BJP supporter bane ki koshish mt karna janta ajkl sab samaghti hai. \nDhanyawaad.

Your video is biased and stupid at best. You should also cover the reasons for unemployment, and problems in Punjab. The problem is people from Punjab are so desperate to fly out of India, they have no intention or will to grow India's economy. How many IAS, toppers, businessmen you will see from Punjab? Its all about the mindset, look at other states like Delhi, Gujarat, Maharashtra for instance, population there is generating young entrepreneurs who are taking the country ahead. Its a shame that you are brain washing people, where you should educate people why because of such people India is at risk, they use India's resources to grow and when the time comes to contribute to country's gdp they fly to canada and other countries.

I WAS your fan but I noticed that your videos about Khalistan and India are biased and are bend on one side. And have more research on Plane incident . You have ZERO knowledge about that. ???

You made good video but it is biased towards india not totally 100% true you showing fact what is india wated to show rest of the world. In reality after 1984 rss india planted so many fake sikhs in panjab so you see in delhi some people stand by government no matter what & kanisha blast by india gov. to defame sikhs because western countries were supporting for seprate state after 1984 attack. India involving in each and every country where ever indian sikhs & muslim population last tym in germany gov. arrested indian spy agent keeping eye on sikh and musli. And biggest mistake you have done in the video is khalistan movement hasn't started after 1984 it was before 1947 you have to do more research when pak india was getting devided religion base there was sikh homeland demand that time some leader choose to go with india there was agreement with nehru to give panjab autonomy soverign state all power of panjab in thier land. Still it was written with india panjab will be soverign state in india not capture by india same goes for kashmir by british in writing. sikh were getting khalistan that time if we wanted we would have get it from british we choose to go with india.
