I am an expat living here for 5 years. I have a big love to Germnay as I have many connections with Germany. However, I also decide to leave Germany in few years. One of the reason is Germany working culture is slowly changing or it is very conservative. Things have been changed now but Germany is slowly changing in many aspects. Besides that, paperwork is terrible. If the law maker and employer don’t change, the skilled workers will leave Germany.

I am Brazilian, living in Germany for 5 years. Upon coming, the one and first thing I worked on was learning German. Regardless of how open a society is/is not, if you chose to move somewhere LEARN THE LANGUAGE. You don't have to speak like Goethe. Learning the language shows respect for your adoptive country. That the Nurse was the only one to conduct the interview in German is telling. She is respectful, she learned German and is at home in Germany. Changing countries is never easy, but not learning the language is complete lack of respect.

Getting more than 10 millions of legal migrants in a country of 33 millions in less than 5 years…. (That’s without the illegal, the forge in worker and student) is the root cause of the housing crisis and of the record inflation…. We went during that time from the top 3 western country in buying power to the lowest…. Thank you Trudeau

as a centre left I too do not support open borders. and I reckon anyone who does grew up in a western bubble and have not lived in a dangerous country (i.e. non-western ) My advice to VICE and all you westerners supporting open boarders are to live in Venezuela/South Africa for 5 years. I fully support TRUE refugees but open boarder will hurt everyone.

Stop wasting so much money on sheltering dogs. The cost is enormous ($5,000 to $6,000 a year) per dog, and these dogs do not participate or contribute economically to society.

I know, what I am about to say isn't easy to swallow. Because I also understand how prevailing sentiments of fear are, when it's easier to blame another group for our shortcomings. Problem is we don't get to choose who comes into Canada, but we are perfectly accountable for whom we vote. Who we vote responsible in the end for policies that make or break a Country. They draft 5-10-20 years road maps for a Country's growth, the trace demographic's trend, births, jobs creations etc etc. They are responsible to understand Economics factors and how they are interwoven into Global trenches. Furthermore they are responsible to manage money budget and spending but above all control waste. I mean Canada became an Global Oil dominator second only to Saudi and we blame migrants? Sounds to me we should kick someone's teeth in, but that ain't my neighbour Cheng or Abhuoul. BTW I was born in the late 70's from Italian migrants, came back again in 95. I left a dead Canada in early 2000 and never looked back.

5:30 in the time of internet, that smart indian students complain not to know that there is a shortage of housing and extremely high cost of living, while soc. media, YT etc. is full of such infos since many years, is hypocritical knowing that everyone does their research beforehand.

Statistics show that half of the new immigrants in the photo op at the end will have voluntarily left Canada within the next 5 -10 years. Many to the US, and most of the rest back to their home countries, as they will find that Canada is not a place to come to to get ahead. Canada is over-hyped for sure. I know, I came to Canada and then left after 10 years to the US, where opportunities are far, far better. Save yourselves a decade of wasted time and come to the US straight away.

This has been a problem for 40 years and the reason where hearing about it now is black rock a hedge fund wants to buy up Single family homes/condos and cannot mass rent without changes to the landlord and tenant board. It is the reason the interest rate is currently so high, push people to bankruptcies and buy up the bankruptcies. But honestly if the government is subsiding the building of condos, the infrastructure that supports them, then hands out tax money to builders, gears immigration policy to increase demand then hands out trillions in loans though the CMCH and other programs and most people don't have more than 5 to 15 percent down and then they rent the place out; is it really their place to complain about a tenant. After all their ownership is basically subsidiesd completely by the government and the banking system, they are in effect a minority stake holder in a government banking scam.

Obviously we are on a mindset of toddlers here so let’s talk like I talk to my 4 and 5 year olds!! \nYou stay on that side of the room in YOUR SPACE… and YOU stay over on that side in YOUR SPACE. If we stay on our respective sides and don’t F with each other… then we won’t have any more problems! \nGood grief! But let’s face it! That’s not what it’s about. It’s about made up fairy tales and someone’s religion is superior to others. Ready?? None of it is real. It’s all fake and made up. There’s no Jesus or Muhammad!! There I let the cat out of the bag. Can we act like humans now. FFS

Hi Abhu n Niku,\n\nI always love your fact based information. I wish you did more of surveys or interviews of Indian immigrants in Canada. Ideally different people from different states in India have different experiences in Canada. Plus previous qualifications, some students here do not even get up and go to college or university to attend lectures and we blame Canada for not giving them jobs. Blame Indian movies that show 2 extremely opposite sides of lifestyles of immigrants in Canada. Either as high profile business people as if they own the country or as poor labourers with 2 or more sharing a common room in a basement. Improve the perspective of people by improving the quality of movies based on immigration to western countries. You can find students who got job, car and house in Canada in 5 years and you can also see students who unfortunately couldn’t do so much. We cannot generalize things.

The question sould be why now and not 5 years ago lol.

Just have to say they quit Hezbollah and seeking refugee in Canada, they will keep them here for 5 years before getting citizenship

Rental? That the least of the deadly issues, we have urgent care and ERs shutting down daily because no staff, 50% have no G.P., wait times for essential surgeries 5+ years, this is a nightmare hellscape.

As an Indian student, i would like to share with you my perspective \n1) you will never see me dancing in public, blasting music and littering \n\nI actually spend my sundays cleaning plastic from trails \n\n2) i am a full time student for 4 years funding over 90 grand for a bachelor on top of that paying my taxes and paying 1100$ a month for rent being limited to 24 hours a week I do not work outside campus I work the job the college provided to me \n\nThe problem comes up when people use the 1 year and 6 month diploma program to enter the country and work here full time \n\nThey associate themselves only with indians mainly because they cant speak the English language fluently \nTherefore they associate with the exact people they associated with back home \n\nHow will they adapt to a new country if they hang out with the same people \n\n\nI came to canada with a goal \n\nTo make Canadian friends \nLearn about Canadian culture \nStart a new life \nAnd work my ass off to get my degree \n\n\nMost people move here to make more money \n\nThey sell their land and do so \n\nPlease do not associate hard working indians who adapt and leave their past behind with these people who have come here purely to exploit the system\n\n\nTrust me I know it's hard to hear this but good Indians do exist. I have so many Canadian friends who love me as much as I love them. I know how hard you guys work and I am so amazed at how well you carry yourself through this hard time I unfortunately happen to be Indian something I cannot control and I have been a victim to so much discrimination and hate just because I happen to be born in India it's crazy. \n\nWe are respectful Indians we do exist we do have Canadian friends we do adapt to Canadian values and we work hard for the land that gave us this wonderful opportunity to grow . Not all 5 fingures are the same . \n\nYou ask us all to leave but completely forget That it was your institutions invited us in accepted our massive payment , stamped our visas at immigration and let us in \nThe tax money that I pay goes to your government \nThe double fees we pay funds your colleges allowing it to provide quality education to domestic students at half the rate. \n\n\nDon't demonize hard working students because of the people who exploit the system. We have the right to a good life just as much as each and every one of you . We have family we have People we love and we have sacrificed a lot please don't demonize each and every one of us because of the ones who don't know how to behave

I've been a landlord for many years, I've been through a few very bad tenants, out of 8 houses i rent out 7 have fantastic tenats, the one thats always late and is running down my property I've tried to evict for 5 years but he then catches up with rent and cleans up the yard and the cycle starts agian! I would say in my 20 years renting that only a very small percentage are bad but they can couse you alot of grief and money!

Please cover Dublin sometime. The cost of sharing a room (mind it, not an apartment, a room) in downtown Dublin was 650 euros 5 years ago. I can’t image how it is now.

Canada government should not bring any people for the next 4 years. And if they bring people they should stay other provinces for atheist 5 years not Ontario province specially TORONTO.

Man I love reading the comments in this video! We also face a similar challenge in other countries that housing is a crisis and governments keep bringing in all sorts of immigrants, from refugees to highly skilled people (like myself). I have switched 5 cities and the story either gets more worse or less worse. Half a year searching for a decent apartment? Some search for years! It's a full time job. The government gets back to my request after many months! Foreigners offices are packed with applications and citizenship is taking years long now. Getting a doctor appointment (psychological issues) within a year is hard, unless you pay from pocket or are in grave danger. We are being squeezed in here and they started new loose immigration policies to be more attractive to foreigners. Address the quality of life at the same time!

When my parents came over 40 years ago\nHad to know English and French , had to have university degrees \nThe selection process was tough and you had to wait 2 years and accept to not go on welfare the moment you arrived\nAnd they had to pay 5 k$ each in various fees to the Govt\nToday any joe smoe can waltz in with no education and bring along the kids , no criminal back checks and earn around 4 K each month on welfare

Zero-net population growth or very slow growth is desirable for a host of reasons. Immigration is not inherently a virtue. Not inherently a vice either. Its value depends entirely upon the context in which it is taking place. Here are some reasons why Canada should reduce immigration to achieve eventual zero-net population growth.\n\n(1) The ecology: Canada is possibly the world's worst country per capita in producing waste – certainly among the worst. (a) As of now we have a population of 40 million. At its present rate of growth our population will reach 50 million in 2041. This will require a 20% reduction in waste production per capita simply to keep waste production at the present level. This reduction will not happen. (b) In addition, freshwater resources cannot be expanded at all, really (desalinization can only produce a drop in the bucket). Hence, look for shortfalls in water availability. (c) From a global perspective, it is the rich countries, such as Canada, that pollute the most, both absolutely and on a per capita basis. Therefore rich countries should not increase their populations. Immigrants do not come to rich countries to be better ecologists than the citizens of those countries. Immigrants to Canada want to live like Canadians, as Canadians. The problem here is not that they will not assimilate to Canadian ways, but that they will. \n\n(2) Housing: with 500,000 new immigrants a year, housing starts cannot keep pace. The result: ever-inflating housing costs. Rich immigrants compound the problem. \n\n(3) Suburbanization: most of the new housing in Canada is in highway suburbs (over 80%), with their car-driven way of life. Once again, this is bad for the country’s ecological health. In addition, the result will be ever-growing geographies of nowhere. We will not be creating more Victorias or Quebec Cities. We will be creating more Surreys. \n\n(4) Downward pressure on the incomes of most people: the law of supply and demand is very simple: when there is a surplus of any commodity, that commodity becomes cheaper. When a commodity is scarce, its value rises. Labor is a commodity. Workers rightly do not want there to be a surplus of labor. Their livelihoods are threatened. \n\n(5) Future care of the old: the more people we add now, the more people we will have to take care of later, when their working lives are done. Adding immigrants now to pay for the care of the old is therefore a pyramid scheme. Eventually, in a generation or two, the population of the world is set to decline, and the well of immigrants will run dry. Canada should aim for fewer, rather than more, retirees – as preparation for that coming moment.

When I think about my time in Canada, it's bittersweet. I moved there for my undergraduate studies and spent 5 great years soaking up the Canadian culture. After graduating from McGill University, I had a tough time finding a job. Fortunately, I had the support of my boyfriend and didn't struggle with housing, especially in more affordable Montreal.\n\nWe moved to Australia a few months ago, and wow, what a change! I do miss my Canadian friends, but I can't complain about not having to tip for a take-out coffee here! As well as not paying an astronomical amount for asking for alternative milk!

They meeed to completely stop for 5-10 years to let construction catch up

Can i choose morethan 5 years experience while filling the form meanwhile i put only latest Job experience which is 4 years but i actually have more than 5 years experience choosed in the form.

TITLE 8 U.S. CODE § 1324 - BRINGING IN AND HARBORING ALIENS \nFOR PRIMARY OFFENSES OF BRINGING IN AN UNAUTHORIZED ALIEN: UP TO ONE YEAR IN PRISON; \nFOR BRINGING IN AN UNAUTHORIZED ALIEN FOR PURPOSES OF FINANCIAL GAIN: UP TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON; \nFOR SMUGGLING AN ALIEN IN ILLEGALLY: UP TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON; \nFOR TRANSPORTING AN ALIEN ILLEGALLY: UP TO 5 YEARS IN PRISON; \nFOR HIRING TEN OR MORE UNAUTHORIZED ALIENS: UP TO 5 YEARS IN PRISON; \nIF THE UNAUTHORIZED ALIEN YOU HELPED CAUSES SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR ENDANGERS SOMEONE'S LIFE: UP TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON; \nIF VIOLATING THESE LAWS RESULTS IN SOMEONE'S DEATH: UP TO LIFE IN PRISON. \nMOST NOTABLY, THESE PENALTIES ARE APPLIED PER PERSON, NOT PER INCIDENT.

I got laid off 5 weeks ago ( no renewal of contract).. after 7 years working for that NFP.. I applied for snap and unemployment… while applying for jobs( social worker field)… first, they ask for so many documents… including my bank account….( again I was laid off .. not fired nor left my job, nor finding reasons not to work all those years ), department of labor had a mandated zoom meeting to discuss what I needed to do 4 weeks after I was laid off( like i don’t know)… I ve been working for years and paying taxes… a lot of them in NYC, I was also told that I have to show what I am doing to search for work and eventually should take a job( even if the salary is low..ridiculous)… I was also informed that I may get a call from investigator from DOL..they may call individuals receiving unemployment benefits($441 a week after taxes?)… to verified that I was searching and applying for jobs( even though I enter my activities related to work weekly on their website…..)….. meanwhile… people with 0 legal documentation are entering the US and living here, free snap, free housing, free health insurance!!!! Lala land!!!! Can’t wait for this non sense to stop!!! Every corner of NY , you see families begging for money. Food…I feel bad as a human being, but refuse to help or I ll be joining them too… welfare system needs to change too! The politics NEED to change!!!All the best !

Canada needs to stop immigration for next 5 to 10 years in order to bring the housing and food cost down.

Gee idk, maybe it's because immigration has spiked by 400% in the last 5 years and it's gotten so unregulated that we now have convicted terrorists slipping through the cracks? Our problem isn't with immigration itself, it's concerning the fact that literally ANYONE can enter the country now. It's beyond ridiculous

Why let doctors and dentists come to Canada when they are not allowed to work in Canada unless they spend 5+ years studying and giving licensing exams? Most doctors end up doing other things. Either fix the licensing system or change the immigration criteria.

im a Canadian that is contemplating leaving Canada, car got broken into twice in the past 2 months here in Calgary. never happened in the 17 years i stayed here. mass immigration is fked up. it took us 5 years to migrate the right and some of these folks just walk in and get accepted

I was fortunate to relocate to the Canada a few years ago. Witnessing the social issues exacerbated by ineffective immigration policies, I can understand why Canadians might feel frustrated. I'm always eager to engage with the community, but I found that many Canadians are reluctant to discuss politics or care about what is going on in their neighborhoods, and the voting rate in city elections are very low. A few months ago, I shared a city government survey designed to collect residents' opinions about the next 5-year development plan with some friends, but only one out of five showed interest in participating.\nI hope that more Canadians will take advantage of their democratic system to drive change and shape her into the country they want to live in. Back in my home country, we couldn’t vote for our government, so having democracy is a privilege—please use it wisely while you can!\nNote: I am grateful that the Canadians I’ve met have been very welcoming.

Apartments in my building have doubled in price in the last 5 years... DOUBLED. We were full with a waiting list last year, but this year the whole wing I live on is empty, except for a few suites. Pretty obvious that either people cannot afford to move in OR there isn't a housing crisis as bad as they want us to believe anymore... which one is it though?

I agree with you 100%.Stop immigration for at least 5 years.

Rental insurance for the owner of the house/condo is expensive. My friend rented her house out while she did a work contract out of town. Her rent due to having renters was $5,000 a year.

Its not fair for people immigrating here and cant find work and housing. We are all immigrants here in North America but i think we need to pause immigration for at least 5 years and help the people here first before we start immigration again.

Find the video about the receipt left by a Venezuelan illegal in a bodega in NYC. They get over $15,000, lets say 18,000 per MONTH for food & $5,000 in cash. A conservative estimate- $23,000+ per month in govt benefits. x 12 is $276,000 ANNUALLY. They've been incentivized to invade so they can vote & many of them already have. \n\nWe've been sold out to the lowest bidder by our own leaders. We are hemorrhaging money because our government is giving it away. Stock up on necessities, medication, 1st aid & canned, dried and freeze-dried goods, get your guns & ammo & GET READY. This is serious & it's going to get ugly. The attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13th was a wake up call. I never liked the man. I voted for Dementia Magoo the child-groper against my better judgment. So disgusted! This year I'll VOTE FOR TRUMP.

PURELY FOR MONEY AND GIMMEE FREE WESTERN LIFESTYLE......IF THEIR CIVILISATION DIDNT BUILD EVEN 5% EQUIVILENT TO WHITE WESTERN CHRISTIAN CIVILISATION.....THEN 100% NOT SUITABLE TO LIVE WITH US. ARREST RETURN IMMEDIATELY......100%. NO SOB STORIES....WE FOUGHT POVERTY, STARVATION, AND TYRANNY TO BUILD OUR SOCIETY.....LET THEM SPEND 100'S YEARS DOING THE SAME......!! ARREST, TRIAL AND LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR ALL REPRESENTATIVES AND CIVIL SERVANTS COMPLICIT IN THIS WESTERN GENOCIDE

charlottetown is a dump now was good 5 years ago

I live right outside Toronto and our government has allowed immigration to go unchecked for the last 5 years our construction industry is infested with unskilled workers disguised as skilled workers and the local unions are allowing illegal workers to operate using corporation numbers instead of government ID, the twist is the workers without government ID don't have to be paid the pensions or health befits witch makes for a 30% increase in money that remains in the unions pockets! It's country wide and probably works out to billions and guess who the unions donate millions of millions of dollars? The left side of our political parties!!!!

Who ever said those were real new Yorkers just a island full of anker babies and in less then 5 years it will be millions more just like them all..

Why would they keep immigrants there in NY city instead of sending them to Alaska so they do something productive there? The USA should learn a bit more from Canada. I lived there and their immigration system was great because you could get a workplace from the industries that needed workers that couldn't find Canadian workers. Usually you could get a job that is heavy since most Canadians wouldn't like to work building houses or as welders or anything that is heavy-duty. And those job offers used to be located in the north provinces like prince Edward Island or newfoundland, etc etc... and become a permanent resident there in about a year or two. While in Ontario or BC you could get a PR in 5 to 10 years after graduating from college. Immigrants would go to Northern provinces for sure unless they have a big, huge, insulting budget to spend by living in the main cities like Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver or Calgary or Winnipeg.

New York 5 years from now is going to be a slums

At the risk of knowing whatever I want to say here is relatively meaningless I believe there may be a few decent people that may read and think about what is glaring in all the comments about the number one issue not only with your presidential elections but affecting most of the 65 other leadership elections worldwide. It's all interconnected and with every news segment, video, long version podcast to those of us with some free sober time away from getting stoned away from our video game accts and bored with watching porno hub. It is always gonna be where there is a dollar to be found you will have those in need to chase FROM where ever ! Since your clickbait title has me spending my first and only coffee moment watching your usually informed and super entertaining rant style of typical NY white boy genZ proforming what your type usually does ... bit.ching out about a problem you all caused yourselves. I should stop but if I am going to spend the time to post up something to those few that are not going to advance red vs blue positional comments but can see what could come from our ears being subjected to your verbal barrage of WB rap, bro take friggin breathe so your/us viwers may revisit your next rant that maybe of real use and importance. As a Canadian our open border from my province to your state is about 45 min.s way from my city. Hint think Niagara Falls ... Peace bridge ... Buffalo Bills from where the Blue Jays play 92 and 93 World Series Champions ... ( won't rub anyone more smack to US pride but to my bros ... what about those 2019 Raptors eh ) will always be an option since your big oil , drill baby drill peeps demand we all keep buying petrol so those that can legally drive will do so because those coming across here can afford the two gas tanks to drive in and the 2 gas tanks they will need to buy again to return that said automobile home without having to have an unknown stranger from another tribe. The ones from another poor tribe can still cross on one cost of one tank ( source from your vid 16:30 where you advertise to all other viewers where and which bus is the best for $ 70 ... brilliant ) I use Tribe specifically because besides the two passenger bridges ( the other Ambassador in Windsor/Detroit thing Red Wings/loins since you used Ottawa instead of Vancouver maybe but of course there is no NFL team there so your NY brain has a Genz moment cause your GenX teacher was too busy watching reality television instead of teaching you sometime useful an hour north of your country which BTW does speak english ..mostly and we totally understand American and the truth that too many really cannot really speak anything but dumb weirdo sound bites between big Macs and your sugar/caffeine fix ... so lay off the energy drinks down to like maybe 2 aday. BIG TIP from our elections back when our old French PM told your first dumbazz Prez son of Yale frat boy 43 NO we WON'T send our troops with your killers to IRAQ but WE will honor article 5 and stand with you all in the WAR against Islamic extremist in bases inside Afghanistan ... because us Canadians know what is REAL ... BE CALM ... we know you Americans may eventually get it right .. may take you 20 friggin years to figure out your Generals are really stupid corrupt women haters who like some of ours crossdressing AlPHABET Turds with fuking expensive WAR Machine toys who back War criminals invite them to speak to your lawmakers as they lead you down this new rabbit hole Of which IS ... will China invade Taiwan ??????????

So my felony have to be 5 years old to go to Canada but these illegals can fly there for fun. That’s crazy.

Let's see...13 K a day, that's what, 5 million per year?

Sadly this video doesn't even touch on a lot of the issues in the country still.\n\n(Violent) Crime is absolutely out of control. When I'm out with my camera gear, I'll always carry something with me for protection now.\nParks have become little tent cities.\n\nMy dad's pension has recently been reduced, and this has happened with many seniors, all who payed into it for their entire life. It's already difficult making ends meet with a steady income, now imagine how it is for seniors on a fixed income. \n\nIn less than 5 years I went from spending no more than $150/week on groceries, to upwards of $300-400...and that includes cutting back on what I buy AND not to mention companies shrinking the size of packages. \n\nPP and the CPC might not fix things, but anyone who rewards the imbecile Liberal/NDP collation is in dire need of an MRI to see if they have a functioning brain.

Pass a law. Every male coming goes straight into boot camp. After 5 years of service in the military, they get a citizenship. Just like the French did with the foreign legion. That'd stop them comiung.

To those of you who voted for the Democrats who have caused this insanity - give it 5 years and it will directly and personally affect each and every one of your lives in very negative ways. You cannot condone and vote for this type of lawless without some repercussions down the line.

Imagine 5 years from now

I left the New York area about 5 years ago I went out west what are they going to do up there they're going to get on welfare and food stamps and then the Democrats who won the votes regardless of the crime goes up or anything doesn't matter there are no jobs out there for so-called working class people other than construction and they gave all those jobs to Mexican people basically in the last 20 years what are betrayal American people as long as they pay the corporate people and the government people that's all that matters to them
