I noticed, that all the Russian guys left and all the Russian girls stayed. Same with almost every East Asian country--all of the females from my MBA stayed as well

I moved to Canada about 17 years ago and yes it is an absolute pain to jump through all the hoops they want you to go through. I was only here a few days and I came from Ireland as a brick and stone mason they recruited me from Ireland and wanted me to come out. Within three days on the job I learned I would be getting less wages than the other bricklayers. I packed up my tools and walked off the job I notified the employer and the union by emails and told him I’d be flying back home in a few days. Well the union and the employers came running straight away to get me to stay. Trying to explain that after a couple of months I’d be on the same money as the rest of the guys. This is where I explain to them that taking home C$1100 was already a pay cut a massive pay cut as are used to take home 2500 to 2200 Euros living in Ireland. I moved to Canada for a change of lifestyle but that doesn’t mean I was going to be taken advantage of. And that’s when they said they would pay me the same as everybody else. Sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself and be willing to follow through. They even reimbursed me for the airline ticket I bought to go back. Some skill sets they really need in this country in addition Canadians population growth is absolutely dependent upon immigration as the family sizes and birth rates are critically to lol to sustained a country. As I’ve said I’ve been living here 17 years now and I am a Canadian citizen I guess that makes me an Irish Canadian now.

Loads of great jokes in this one, but the moose one floored me! Well played guys.

It was so great to finally meet you guys and see the live show for the first time on Saturday. It was so incredible, thank you guys so much for the awesome pictures as well. I'll cherish them forever!\nBig love from Cork!! ??

Pretty good Adam I'd just mention a few of those things are...I don't want to say inaccurate but way more diverse. For instance French. Yes Quebec is the only French province BUT New Brunswick is the only Bilingual province and basically half and half. This is good for things like federal of provincial services because by law they must provide service in both languages but not so basically everywhere else. The problem with this is you can have an almost completely English town almost nobody speaks French and drive 15 minutes and be in a town where nobody speaks English. Research on this might be hard because a town with a French name may not have any French people in and vise versa. Also this problem is multiplied in the fact that if you Do want a French area we don't speak standard French or Quebecois but instead Le Chiac which is a difficult and confusing mix of old French and english (almost exactly like the Cajun dialect). Second part of this is that Montreal is easy to live in if you don't speak French and is so multicultural you are just apt to hear Swahili as French in public. Last part is be very careful where you move on the prairies as they have may isolated towns some that speak French also. Next is tipping I've never had to tip anyone for a haircut outside of the military and all other forms of tipping here on the east coast are purely optional and wait staff don't get upset if you don't leave a tip unless you were a jerk or left them extra work like making a big mess (I worked as cook for a while after I got out of the army and I rarely ever head staff complain) HOWEVER....tip a waitress well and she might accidentally give you 2 pieces of pie lol and tip a taxi driver well and he will not only get you the cheapest fare he will find ANYTHING you may need no questions asked. Lastly on the nice thing....we are nice for sure especially compared to our southern neighbours BUT there is a lot of passive aggressive nice that happens and this also varies greatly. For instance as a city boy of course you answered the way you did but a guy who have lived all over this country in big and small, French and English places who now has retired to a rural town I can say I find the cities quite snobby and the French and the English can be quite snobby to each other and where I live now if you asked a random stranger for 5$ chances are you would get it also driving down the road people you don't know will just wave at you as if you were the closest friends. Canada is certainly a weird place so many extremes and my advice to anyone wanting to move here is do your research and then visit and travel a bit if possible because even us Canadians can be surprised by thing or two across this gigantic country

This video made by a Canadian guy about the downsides of Canada or North America as a whole.\nhttps://youtu.be/i3tFlqFsWfI\nI believe it tells some real truths about North America in general in terms of living costs, Canadian girls (many of whom are in fact very lonely and unhappy) purchasing power that keeps decreasing as well as how most girls are here!!! It really shows us how the media can influence the way we perceive the world and I am well positioned to say this as I have worked for a long Time in much poorer countries than The US or Canada and what this guys says is just so true!! There are positive aspects of living in places like Mexico or South America that you will Never ever experience in Canada or the US!\nThis is also another vid from another Canadian guy\nhttps://youtu.be/g2Vkl1TX1ho

One must get all the information ( which is available in public domain ) before landing the proposed country. I know some guys, who landed Canada after their Graduation and for their Master's degree. They r ok now. They are all Academically qualified from their native country and higher education from Canada. All of them are working now and leading a good life there. All the professionals who've very good academic background, should undergo some type of higher education there in Canada. Other wise doctors / engineers may end up their life as taxi drivers / gardener... etc. Get thorough knowledge about the country where one has to go., study there and get well placed and live happily ever after. - From own experience -

My parents came to Canada in 1957 from England when I was six. They came across all those issues you described in your very accurate assessment of the immigration issue. The most frustrating was that ridiculous “ Canadian experience “ barrier . A catch 22 excuse that defies logic. It’s merely a not so transparent way of giving you a substandard wage for clearly qualified experience. It’s very insulting especially when it’s obvious in many cases that the country you came from has even higher professional standards than Canada. I’m quite shocked to hear this unfair ,discriminatory practice is still operating and naturally turns many excellent immigrants away. Someone should be fired at Immigration Canada for not promoting the abolition of this practice , especially when it comes to doctors ,engineers etc. So wasteful. \nI’ll be following your videos in future. Just wandering if you guys are thinking of leaving as well and what your occupations actually are.

Out of all the videos this is the most genuine one, a straight forward review of the reality that an immigrant has to face no sugar coating, like the agents do to get the customers\nVery well done guys keep up the good work you rock!!!. I was planning to move to Canada and you answered all my queries in one go ,in future I would love to consult your channel rather than wasting my time on some agents.\nThanks again stay blessed and continue the process .\nRegards

One can get all these things in Pakistan as well. We r from KPK and Peshawar as well and all my relatives r doctors and they r earning more than anyone else..so guys, enjoy your life wherever you r living..dont be attracted to foreign countries so easily...stay blessed..but anyhw nice vlog sir

Could have included a brown guy as well but ye know, welcome to Canada! ?? And born and raised. How about people who landed with PR Visa?!

Hello both, hope you guys are doing well in this pandemic. \nI am 45 yrs old commerce graduate having 20+ yrs of experience in Operations- life insurance. Finance & accounts and customer service domains. I am interested to move to Canada & as per my research on internet I believe it’s but tough for me to get job because of my age & education.\nPls help me know if with this age , education & experience , is there any chances to get job there . Is there backend jobs available in insurance domain ? \nHow can I check my COPR & what preparation shall I do to get a good job there? \nThanks in advance!!\nStay home, stay safe !!

Well you guys know his face now!

Hahaha. What a loser. Well that lady is gorgeous. You can’t blame the guy for hitting on her.

That guy should spend time in jail for uttering death threats. He also needs to be educated and realize that there are many Asian countries, not all Asians are Chinese. As well, that kind of acting and talking is not acceptable towards any individual no matter where they are from.

Canada : were peacefully country\n News : well yeah- *show racist news of guy attack asian girl*

What can you say. Some guys really don't take rejection very well

Well, guess I am now considered racist because I hate guys like this. He should be arrested for threatening her. \nThis beautiful woman has nothing to do with the virus or anything the Chinese leaders are doing.

If a type of dog is statistically notorious for being aggressive and violent you would avoid that type of dog right? well, humans are no different. Think a white guy isn't discriminated against? Walk him through a dark inner city neighborhood and see how he gets treated solely based on the color of his skin.

This guy is a pure incel. He’s not even white as well

Canadian: I’m not your friend, buddy\nAmerican: Don’t call me your buddy, Guy\nCanadian: Well, don’t call me your guy, fwiend \nMe: What are you guys talking aboot?

This guy gets to stay. Many kids get deported back for selling $10 weed. What a broken system. He should be deported as well. Canadian Justice system sucks. The other was listening to 640 on the radio. These people lawyer up and probably paying bribe $.

Ahh like that they treat the Filipino in Canada? Salute for that guy..and salute for all Canadian who are in the Philippine now...I wish there's a instant justice...tsk tsk tsk not only for him but all racists!hope one day you can counter its same your attitude and its well..damm!I can't breath

can we wellness check this guy, the who actually needs to get checked.

Cops are too busy doing 'wellness checks' to bother with this guy.

The content is really good. But I don't like the way that blue t-shirt guy tried to defame India by saying that the one can't get payoff well in India. Yes it start with low salaries but there are skilled jobs which pays more then any part of the world. It depends on skills and capabilities. I am sad that our Brothers are saying this where they born. I have a respect for every country and there are both side of coins everywhere.

That guy said you would earn Maximum 10 thousand in India??,nice joke.There are many nice cities in India as well,even small towns in India are good to live.Starting a business is much easier in India because of easy availability of labour and a big market.

well to be honest, a marketing guy said, that he has two appartments free on the first dude and one appartment free on the second dude.....isnt that.....good? would be better to switch the order of the visit. and the 10$ difference by a different contractor was probably mor elikly corruption by this guy than actual racism.\n\n\n\n\nthese test results dont show racial bias, but simply the facial recognision of your mind to identify white or black people, thereby have a greater cultural and social preference to come into contact with these people. the test actual showed never racism. its showes social stereotypical mindsets. to combine these stereotypes with claims, that are unjustified to a person is prejudging and by a racial mindset of reasoning its is racism.

Maybe a dumb question but no well funded conservative wants to put money into this media? These guys could be the Fox News of Canada. Why is rebel Media not on tv!!

Psychology student here. In the interest of accurate information, I would like to point out some flaws I find with some of the studies in this documentary and question the conclusions reached. I understand that CBC Marketplace are not personality psychologists and therefore cannot be expected to produce the same quality of work as a scientist. However, I think it is worthwhile to think critically about the information in the media that we consume. I am also open to anyone who wants to engage in debating the contents of this documentary.\n\n\nThe following are some notes I took while watching the documentary outlining the individual hypotheses of the studies I think are flawed and descriptions of their respective accompanying errors. \n\n\nThere are three possible research questions, and thereby dependent variables, being answered by the apartment hunting studies.\n1. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \n \n2. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man between Toronto, Montreal, Regina, and Victoria, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could total apartments visited be a confounding variable? (4 in Toronto, 3 in Montreal, Regina, and Victoria) \nb. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \nc. They only showed the black man apartment hunting in some of the trials. I am considering him out of the study for consistency purposes. The first-nations man is the only one who got unfair treatment in the footage of apartment hunting. \n \n3. Possible hypothesis: If male landlords/agents are more discriminatory than female landlords/agents, then the white man and the first-nations man will get different treatment at different Canadian apartments in equally diverse cities. \na. Don’t know all the information about the genders of the landlords/agents, not all the footage is shown, but the ones where they get ripped off are male. The others shown are female. The remaining interactions are not shown.\n\n\nThere are also some factors that may have influenced the racial bias survey and, in my estimation, rendered it scientifically unreliable.\n\n\n1. The bias survey and accompanying tests at the CBC attributed the differences between the studies to unconscious racism. What if it was just due to familiarity with certain racial groups over others? \na. The black participants had no bias between European-American and African Americans, supposedly indicating no racism, while the white and first-nations participants did, supposedly indicating racism. Is it possible that another interpretation of this result is that bias is a function of familiarity: that we are comfortable with the majority demographic in the geographical location we live in, as well as our own kind. Therefore, the black guys are less biased against black people due to being both black and living in a white majority demographic? \nb. The participants took the survey knowing the objectives of the researchers was to study racial discrimination. They might have influenced the answers they gave \nc. Whether the participants agreed with identity politics or not was a confounding factor that was not controlled . You can only be racially unbiased biased if you think that racial identity is a means of accurately viewing the world. People who do not believe in the existence of identity politics may answer the questions quite differently, which could be a different reason for the results.\nd. I took the study myself. The words that participants were required to match were a mix of adjectives and nouns. It is known within psychology that nouns have higher levels of imagery. This was not properly controlled and therefore is another confounding variable. \n \nAll the other studies looked fine to me. I welcome any discussion on my observations.

know one guy that has 15 kids in China,, women wanted to have sex with him so they will have a baby and use that baby when he or she turns 21 to come to the USA,, otherwise they never will... He does pay them money about 15 to 20 dollars a month which is a lot for them, and helps them in other ways as well, He goes to china and stays 2 or 3 months stays with one of the different women a week at a time, The want to have more then one child with him so it increases their chances

It's Also heightism also leelan is under 5'9 others guys ate well over six feet

The subtle differences may not seem like much to some people, but I agree with the one guy...it makes me feel jealous too..I wanna treated that way too like I'm worth more as well.

D poor guy full of islami phobia ,all scene r well scripted ,a dramatic way n nothing else ??

Handled it well...that white guy, as if he really knows what he is talking about, while it's obvious there's hate in it...

Well the white guy was angry but not as angry as some muslims I've seen against Christians media spins what they want us to see

Well that guy is not fully wrong Sikhs believe in 1 true God too.... ?

Oh well poor guy didn't get all the free stuff he wanted and his entitled attitude was challenged. Too freakin bad it is not Canada's fault there are shit hole countries.

It is NOT just race. Depending on the bag or backpack you carry, you get followed, which I hate. And I'm not black. My mother also gets followed everywhere in every Macy's store. It drives me crazy. It's really annoying, because I think it's because my mom has big purses and I usually have my art backpack. \n\nWhen I'm in a different town, I get followed in Walmart all the time. If I forget my shopping bags, I will empty my backpack so I can use that to put all my items in at the end of the purchase.\n\n In Best Buy, I'm lucky to get anyone to help me at all!!! I have to hunt someone down, and most of the time, they don't know anything anyway. Target: I have a hard time finding anyone to help me as well. I haven't really done a social experiment, but sometimes I just have my shopping bags and fill them as I shop and I won't carry a purse.\n\nLocally, I don't get followed because my family and me are known in that town. We know a lot of people and my face is everywhere. I never get followed. But out of town Walmart, I get followed in certain stores. It irritates me immensely, especially since I buy a lot of make up and the make up department is cramped they way they block the end of the aisles. It makes it really hard to turn your cart around when other people are in the same aisle. Then they close the make up aisle even though they have tons of cameras all over!! \n\nOverall, I don't know WHERE these backhanded compliments are coming from. I normally hear stuff about my weight. Nothing about race ever. Nor do I ever hear others talking about race. Weight seems to be the hot topic always.\n\nI also find it weird that the one guy feels like he needs to apologize!

WE ARE ALL TO BLAME. THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THE THING IS THAT WE AFRICANS NEED UNITY. HUMANITY 1ST RELIGION, POLITICS, RACE 2ND. MUSLIM AND CHRISTIANS FIGHT WHILE POPE AND EMIRATES SULTANS ARE FRIENDS BOTH IN PARADISE OF U.A.E AND VATICAN. I'M A BLACK CHRISTIAN APC GUY BUT I PREFER A WHITE MUSLIM PDP GUY WHO TREATS PEOPLE WELL. I CRY FOR AFRICAS DIVISION. GOD SEND US A MESSIAH

This test is a bit flawed. I’m white and I have been profiled my whole life. Get rid of the preppy looking white dude a put a white guy in there that has a couple tattoos and your entire test falls apart. With my tattoos I guess you can say I’m a colored person as well.\n\nStereotypes are true... How do you think they become stereotypical. That’s exactly why I get profiled when I enter a bank, store or even a police station. Cops are more prone to pull me over and I understand why. Does that make it correct? No. Is it something that is real and I understand why it happens? Yes..

Hey guys...ya know how YOU wouldn’t like it if we moved to YOUR countries and we started making demands that certain accommodations and changes be made to fit OUR way of life and beliefs and our women walked around revealing their whole face, their hair, arms and legs? Well, that’s how we feel. We live the way we live and if you can’t roll with that, you should go back to where you came from where your medieval customs/beliefs are accepted.

And a white guy and his wife also a fifth generation CanadianI know w ere followed by a black security goon in a drugstore run by a Hindu- in Vnacouver!!!!-----I. agree that this happens to people of colour but people of colour also have their power tripping tendencies especially when they are given security jobs at airports or similar and they can be surly and aggressive as well!!

well I can't feel sorry for this very disrespectful guy. do it the right way

The guy had 15K but MSNBC wants to say this guy is a victim? He could have had a great immigration lawyer, MSNBC not too smart are you? Well you can on the left not to do things the easy way!

well... guy...you have to return to el salvador and make a revolution....\nand you will feel super satisfied with yourself in your whole life....do not escape\nof the real problems....you are escaping from el salvador...but instead of fixing the problem\nyou are making it worse....\ngo back to el salvador....your spanish is intact....i havent heard any word in english from you...\nso...go back to el salvador...and make a big complaint to your president over there...!!!

Do people discriminate Chinese as well, they should have had a brown or arab guy in the experiment.

These racial profiling can go both ways. Back and forth and back and forth. And I have been treated the same way leaving a store and alarm went off so what’s your point. And yes the guy who did it to me was the same race as myself. These tests prove nothing. All this stuff has happened to myself as well and I’m white so what should I say it’s because I’m white???

a well spoken mexican guy with 2 kids and a wife doing what it takes to survive. i mean this shit is just made up. i mean cmon. Its not even REAL.
