Hello sir,\nI am law graduate from india. Belongs to lower middle class family. I want to migrate Canada for work. I seriously need to know whatever you are saying in video about the cost of living is genuine or not?

...need a date stamp on ALL videos

I think your video is well done. I used to love visiting the US especially the west and have fond memories of our travels .Now we don't travel to the US because of the gun violence and so many guns. Most Canadians don't want guns and think gun control should be very strict. I am very content with the way things are in Canada. We have high taxes but we have so many benefits, like maternity leave of 12 months or more. We have free healthcare with no premiums to pay. We have at least 2 government pensions , one we help contribute to and one is totally government funded plus a guarantee supplement if needed . Most people also have a company or union \npension . Most people retire between 60 to 65 years , but its certainly not compulsory. Canada is hoping to have a 4 day work week soon. Our federal government is generous helping with supplements for food etc. We welcome newcomers and we have a very diverse population. I have traveled to different parts of the world and I am very content here.

Aren’t we fortunate in the US to have **none** of these problems!\n\nWe have no homeless here!\n\nTake a look at SF, LA (where all “solutions” are rooted in Bolshevism; “Hi, we’re from the government and will be taking over half of your front yard for homeless yurts (Ok, tents)--true story. Take a gander at any large, medium, and even a few small cities.\n\nHave you ever heard of Detroit (once proud home of my beloved Motown music), Baltimore (complete devastation), or Chicago (my home town—don’t make me cry)?\n\nThe entire homeless situation started when mental hospitals were snake pits and certain factions demanded that people be released.\n\nSure, it sounds humanitarian but they didn't bother to consider what would happen to mentally ill patients suddenly left to their own devices on the streets.\n\nThe do gooders actually were foolish enough to believe that the seriously ill patients (schizophrenic, bipolar, borderline, and plenty of others) would take their meds on their own. It doesn't work that way for patients who are not in contact with reality.\n\nNow we add extreme drugs (crack, meth, heroine, ketamine, whatever they hand out at parties, etc) and severe cases of PTSD/PTSS. It's obscene that we have veterans on the streets.\n\nHeath care--?. Pre Obamacare it wasn’t terrible but medicine had become a CYA project. We are so litigious (side eye to John Edwards ) that doctors practice defensive medicine and carry high limit malpractice insurance (guess who pays for that?). Every decision is driven by avoiding lawsuits, not proper patient care.\n\nPost Obamacare, US health care is an unmitigated disaster at every level. We’re short on doctors, too. Many quit and students are losing interest—medicine won’t pay enough anymore to justify $500K in loans.\n\nWe could repeal every bit of Obamacare tomorrow and still not be able to fix it. The leviathan grew tentacles that released toxins into every nook and cranny of the system. Now that they have buried themselves in critical layers, it would be impossible to yank them out.\n\nI have a good PCP who is booked 6-8 weeks out. Specialists? Hah. GI, neuro, and derm? Four to six month wait post referral.\n\nI never thought I would say such a thing but I would probably swap the Serial Sexual Predator occupying the WH for your Little Lord Fauntleroy.\n\nCan Canada compete with us in corruption? Government employees seriously tried to topple a sitting president and not only were there no consequences, they were able to retire on fat pensions that we citizens work hard to provide for them.\n\nOur government is run entirely by K Street lobbyists; our “representatives” don’t even draft legislation, that’s done for them by K ST.\n\nHow about crime? Do we even need to talk about it?\n\nHousing crisis? Prices were already too high when the regime (predictably) created runaway inflation and we saw the end of affordable interest rates. Even 0.25% increase will knock out many buyers; they won’t be able to qualify.\n\nWe are seeing huge jumps; young people have resigned themselves to never being homeowners.\n\nRacism? Again, look to the US. It’s nothing even close to what the make believe media caterwauls about. If white supremacists are behind every tree, where is the evidence? Surely, in 2023 has caught a cell phone video, right? Where are the videos? Show me the proof. There is plenty of footage of BLM destroying property and injuring, even murdering innocents. If we gripe about this behavior, we are raaayyyycccciiiiissssts.\n\nNo rational adult would claim that the US is not a violent country and becoming more so. Nor can we claim to have eliminated racism. That takes time; it cannot be done by force.\n\nOur economy went from smokin hot to dumpster fire in a short span of time. Pre election, head hunters were shaking the trees to find job candidates.\n\nOur unemployment is up as are our taxes with the stomping out of the tax cuts. \n\nDespite the endless sloganeering about how the Trump tax cuts only benefited “rich” people, it’s quite the opposite.\n\nHigh earners lost their pet deductions and lower income taxpayers were quite pleasantly surprised when they did their returns. The cuts were targeted to preserve wealth for the middle and lower classes.\n\nI could go on for another 100 pages but you get the idea and I get crabby writing for free.\n\nI will leave you with the caution that it’s best if you doubt and question any data and any stats coming from our government. Those are seldom legit. If the data comes from a study, always look to see who paid for it. And how large the sample size was; how were the participants selected? We are all on our own when it comes to ferreting out info.\n\nOh Canada!\n\nYou’re welcome.

Canadas Future as a Free World Retirement Nation. Highest Taxes in all the world if you want to come live here, & the Refugees coming will serve & produce as needed. Many Canadians will become the Refugees & move south of the boarder or Mexico for a warmer climate & lower cost of living. Great Video Thanks.

As true as this is, there is ZERO context being provided in this video. She didn’t need to provide names but being that vague only makes this convo extremely surface level and easy to manipulate because it comes across as vapid and agenda-serving when both the clips and the commentary BOTH are severely lacking in nuance and context! \n\nBy the way, Alberta is a CONSERVATIVE stronghold province. All of Western Canada basically is. The East is the Liberal stronghold. So no, Canada isn’t actually a liberal country, tbh.

Veere m pooja from roorkee haridwar I watch your video first time I also have dream to settle in canada please rpy I want to know more about canada need help

No need to watch the video , Canada is better than the USA most definitely.

Hi \nThank you for informative video. Just one question. \nMe and my brother we both in canada and now mu brother send invitation letter to my parents for visitor visa and do the need all my paperworks also or just only my brother's paperwork like work permit or bank statement... please reply. \nThanks

Thanks a lot for such an informative video. This is my first video on Canada PR process. I don't think I have any questions on the process. Brilliant!! One quick question, myself and wife both are Chartered Accountants (CA), age 46& 45. I guess that's the reason our CRS is coming low (around 380-390). We are yet to go for IELTS. Just to confirm my understanding..PNP is the only way forward. Right? Do we need to create both Express Entry profile and in parallel apply in PNP program??

Didn't you put out a video 2 months ago stating the absolute reverse of your argument in this video? So, which is it, positive or negative? And why pick Perth? The East coast is where you need to be. If Australia has desert, Canada has frozen tundra, both big countries with large expanses of wilderness. Anyway, good luck in Canada, from an Aussie now retired in Europe.

Bhai apko tub se dekh raha hu jub ap or simi sath videos banty thy ap k sary vlogs dekhy hain please daily vloging start krdo we need old shahveer jafri with wolfcrew ❤❤❤❤

Thanks for this well detailed video but please under work experience I saw noc 100 years bla bla, do I need to click on it or to the next one ?\nThanks

This is sickening to see, i feel bad for those that came here the correct way and got their citizenship. Ive read alot of comments that say well if the usa didnt have such stringent rules to become a citizen, then this wouldnt happen. Thats like applying for a job without giving them any information about yourself, and expecting to get that job with no experience. Is it so bad these people should learn about our history and culture, need to be bi lingual and go through the entire vetting process? The answer is they should because if we went to anyother country, we would be expected to learn about their culture. You cant even live in cananda unless you have a certain amount of money and takes years to become a citizen, why shouldnt our border be any different? The fact of the matter is our government needs to wake up, put politics aside and address the issues. I have no problem with people coming here, it they need to become legel and pay taxes like everyone else. We are sick of paying for people that do nothing to contribute to our economy. If this video doesnt offend you, then you are part of the problem.

I have no problem with migrants coming to America as a safe and open home for all, however we do need to put limits and this video prooves it.

Bro. You don't need to make stupid videos about such type of agent company. It is very old way to get money from every individual person who wants to go in that country. Same in every country. Also in canada alot of lawyers and agencies are presently working like that. And in the last they will ask you money to pay their assistance. Reply isn't matter but job offer is matter which no one will get???

CNN over here acting like Americans are the problem… then post videos like this. We don’t need CNN. We need to protect Americans!

Thank you so kemi for this amazing video, I must tell that u did a very good job. Ur simplicity and explanation is top notch. Please I want to know for example if am the principal applicant, for family relocation, will my husband need to write IELTS? and also evaluate his credentials? Or my own is just enough for the process. Thanks

No country would allow this , they need to open fire! This is our country. Just like Ll the cowards in Afghanistan who refused to fight, they could of easily defeated the crazies! Watching videos of us pulling out it is just a sea of 18-30 young men. Same thing here, so we are supposed to continue taking all the quilters and people who run away . Instead they should be fighting for their country and make it better!! Hell the US will arm anyone fighting for their freedom!! Plus look at how entitled all these people are, they are all lawless. Let them stay in Mexico where there is no law

You guys need to look closer at the video, it's not recent or in El paso (or America for that matter). Pause and look at the sinage, or at the officers emblazoned acronym.

Most of these people in this video do not look like they need to seek asylum. I see some of them wearing gold rings, designer clothes, etc. Doesn't feel like they're suffering to me

I am interesting in Chinese, Japanese, Koreans Philippines Vietnamese Islamic Indians Asians testimonies about experiencing, prejudice discriminations bigotry racism in Canada.\n\nWhy we do not read or watch uploaded videos of Asians being discriminated by Caucasians in the USA and Canada?\n\nWe need to see more of such.

A Coincidence that this video popped up. I had thoughts about considering Canada as a potential candidate for better living. \n\nHowever, this is a problem and it needs to be dealt with...\n\nIf moving to Africa finds its way on my option list I will consider it.

Well this truly is an easy fix. 1. We have an amazing military that isn’t doing anything in the Middle East right now and the southern border obviously needs some help as we can all see in this video. \nOur ports are also a big problem and the coastguard needs some help. The navy anyone? \nLastly, I believe the US had a hand in the Venezualas economic downfall. We should revisit our policies regarding them and the largest oil deposits in the world they have. Just some thoughts.

As a Venezuelan who migrated and still travels in the proper ways I can surely say many there want true help. Venezuela is insane compared to what you people even live whit, best work you can get there will make you up to 90-120 bucks a month, no food in supermarkets, some insanely expensive which will make you choose between buy bread or tuna and rice for a whole month ( imagine not being able to eat your favorite meats or prefered food FOR MONTHS, EVEN SOME YEARS) , if you are a professional or educated of course the opportunity grows up but not in a socialist country. as we know you can be a socialist in a capitalist system but not the opposite and this is a fact. Those people are genuinely scared with no home back in their country as for many houses and private properties have been removed with force, some of you sure will be wondering how or why not to follow the main curse to migrate? I had to spend 3 days sleeping on a huge queue with many other people also sleeping in the streets to get our passport(that's was the easy part, 4 years to get the date to finally get that fucker passport.), something so simply done in other countries which such ease, not to mention the whole cost for a passport (I knew people who paid aroundn 700usd to get it asap). \n\nPlease don't pitty these people nor hate on any inmigrants, some families there really wish for a future, and again as someone who had the opportunity to do my papers. We do not wish this upon no body. The pain in the hunger, the fact the money from your country is so little valued that even video game money has way more worth.\n\nIt's a very scary place which we are trying to genuinely scape from.\n\nHopefully for my brothers and sisters from the states try to understand, hopefully these people at some point will need to understand that doing things out of fear will not get them far. Again a very very scary situation.

I have read a lot comments in this video short and i can saw stupid oppinios about this situation this people dont have money to arrive to US in a Airplane becouse they need visa a second they crossed a lot latin american countrys that country are dangerous you dont have any idea how is to have that type of experience and never you will have becouse you are american or you had the opportunity to inmigrate to us ok that cool for you but this people dont have that chance im tired to see racisn from american people to latin american im tired about all the the american you can come to my country and you dont need visa to but if want to go to US (gringolandia) i need it visa is injust im tired about that situation im tired the american people you believe are owner of the world etc im tired to see that things becouse USA its nothing Whit US whit the latin american inmigrant becouse we did the jobs you dont wanna it like diswhasher roofing etc the americans they prefered work in office thats the reallity and the true and im Latin american and proud hay que darnos a respetar ya con estos gringos ellos ya mucha paja han agarrado con nosotros que se jodan hay que darnos a respetar ya

And everyone called trump a racist when he said “shit hole countries”… well it would appear the citizens of some of these shit hole countries agree with him… but liberals always know better, right? ? I mean clearly, by looking at this video… we don’t need a wall! ?.

Hi, Very helpful video. Thank you. Quick question - If I have a job offer from a company in Canada, which is also my employer in India, will I still need to go through the same PR application process?

These videos are offering valid and needed information for potential newcomers. One area that might be of interest in a future episode is the non-bank and community oriented financial institutions in Canada called Credit Unions. These are generally initially established in order to service an incoming immigrant community. I have used both ethnic and workplace (police, government, trades) oriented Credit Unions all my life. Credit Unions are also a fascinating piece of Canadian history.

great video… we need a change in government asap.

Do we need to upload form IMM5645 family information form? I don't see anything in video?

Some good points were touched on. We need solutions! What does this mean?\n\n- We need some immigration discipline. Yes, it's great to let immigration in, especially ones that pay taxes, but it's overburdening both the rental/housing demand (which needs opposing pressure to lower prices) as well as healthcare demand, which is not being properly addressed. Instead our healthcare system is flooded. And it's inefficient and expensive as is already. We just need to tame the number of people we allow in, and grow our ability to self-sustain first.\n- It's too late now, but government policies to give out money during COVID was poorly executed, yet plentiful. When 40% of currency was printed in the last year/two, no doubt we will have inflation. This was never touched upon in the video. Resources/social supports should have been provided rather than just straight up $$$. There was an excess of money given to places they shouldn't have been. We saw a boom in industries like say hobbies and games, showing additional money being wasted where it should have been used for food and shelter. \n- Canadian government is not trying to be as aggressive to retain Canadian companies. We are heavily dependent on US corporations and hence the brain drain as well. Salaries do not compare, especially when remote work is now possible. \n\nWe are already deep in the hole and need to be more financially responsible. I'd strongly disagree with the last statement in this video that we are perceived as corrupt (there's been lots of civil unrest because of government misspending). We are civil and polite, but that's not what helps economies grow, as OCED forecasts as well.

I am born raised and educated here in Canada. Islam is not a race are you aware of that. So I am not sure why you included.islam in silent racism. A liberal country. Are you sure. Its liberal east and Conservative east. I can tell you live in Toronto(the center of the Universe). Royal bank, did you know people born here were losing there jobs and replaced them with immigrants . Did you know there is a separatist movement in the west. This is the 3 rd and final video o will watch. Get your facts straight. Multicultural policy was brought in by Pierre Elliott Trudeau and is Marxist . Justin Trudeau is a Marxist\n You need to get your facts straight.

I think this video is good overall, but downplays the potential severity of our housing crisis. It's not just a problem for renters. Rapid expansion in finance and real estate are only a good thing if they are backed up by real growth, otherwise it's just a bubble that puts the entire national economy at risk. In Canada, it's got many characteristics of a bubble that will crash during an interest rate rise or economic crisis.\n\nAlso income inequality is not the whole story. Wealth inequality has been rising rapidly in Canada and is made worse by rapidly rising rents and inflation. Owning a home outright or with a smaller mortgage means spending less of your income on housing in Canada's current system, so even at the same income level homeowners are dramatically better off than renters and renters have noticed. It's one thing to point at some graphs of the Gini index and say inequality isn't that bad, but that's not good enough when regular people see homeowners buying fancy cars and taking lavish vacations while renters scrape by.\n\nFurthermore, you pretty much ignored the demographic concerns in Canada. We have an aging population, which means we either need high immigration that worsens the housing crisis or higher taxes to pay for growing healthcare and pension costs. Neither option is good and both paths lead to increases political and economic instability. Demographics is one of the main reasons the OECD has a poor outlook on growth in the long term.

How could you make this video and not mention Immigration?! Canada is the global assimilation factory, boasting over 1m new residents this year, they don't need GDP, people bring other countries wealth there.

As an immigrant to Canada who's built a successful business here, I do feel the urge to defend Canada when I see these sorts of videos.\n\nThings are hard right now - inflation is really crippling and I don't know how the housing prices are still holding up despite rising interest rates. I also agree the red tape is absolutely bonkers.\n\nThe country needs to develop more of a pro-business mentality. Everywhere I look, people are complaining about not having a good job but no one wants to put up their hand to start a business to create those jobs.\n\nBut, man, is it beautiful living in the Rocky Mountains. It's a peaceful, open-minded nation and the day I finally get my citizenship will be a very proud day for me.

Didn’t even get into the stupid inter provincial fighting (vetoing pipelines, etc). The country has also suffered from a perpetual identity crisis and for too long prided its self on not being American while being an almost identical twin to its neighbour down south. \n\nThis unexceptional display of a weak identity and economic brain drain show why merging with the us is the answer long term. \n\n“It’ll never happen!” Mentality is a testament to the lack of creativity and big ideas needed to advance that’s cemented into people’s minds here. \n\nThe video highlighted that well.

Thanks for your videos am currently in UK and want to migrate from here after my masters do I need payslips for my work experience in Nigeria or just letters from my employers?

It’s not about where you are but who you are where you are. If you ran to the US with spirit of lust, prostitution, drug dealing, anger, bitterness, rage , unforgiveness, lying, stealing, killing or destruction, you will encounter the same hardship you encountered while in your own country. Everyone needs deliverance. After deliverance, you can try looking for work even in your own country and you will find it. If you don’t believe me, watch Christopher Orji videos. ?‍♀️

I think Canada economy is not as flawed as this video propose. Instead I would say that Canada as develop a strange equilibrium by surfing on the American economy. It does not need to take risk : to be entrepreneurial, to pay for research. AKA, Canada is out sourcing the risk out of its economy and I wouldn't be surprise if Canada is always performing relatively better when recessions happen.

while I agree with a lot of this video theres one crucial aspect this video neglects and same with the commenters here.. POPULATION. \n\nCompared to countries like denmark, sweden, japan, france, uk, etc. we have a much bigger country to maintain landmass wise. Infrastructure. USA is similar but they have 10x the population as us. Our population in canada is pathetic. Problem is everyone stays in ontario or BC which is stupid, im in sask I want population. Another thing about infrastructure is our climate. We have such drastic events in our climate across our huge country that takes a toll. Climate problems with our low population is not a good thing. I mean most people outside canada and even within Canada dont believe me but Saskatchewan goes from like -45 to +45C with windchill/humidex. Our forests are on fire often, that is not normal. That costs so much money to fix as well. In summer sometimes, Nunavut or NWT will be warmer then here, we talk about it here when it happens. Think about that. Weather is HUGE in saskatchewan. We talk about weather daily. I never realized until internationals pointed that out that we are obsessed with weather in sask lol. \n\n Our housing market is a joke and I agree we need to invest more in buisnesses but at the same time we need affordable housing, we are in a weird spot. As far as working etc goes people commenting here lol the golden years of the 80s are gone old timers, my parents realize this that you guys were spoiled in one of the greatest time periods in human history - post WWII boom and the effects. I could go on and on how the 70s-90s were one of the best time periods in modern history for various reasons but I wont. There are problems internationally, we live in a globalist world. We still have it good. Go travel and make international friends. This is nothing that we are dealing with at the moment. All I will say though is leave the huge metropolitans like Toronto and Vancouver. Everyone wants to go there because they think 'theres more opportunity' ugh. Theres opportunity across canada but if everyone things like that there will be problems. The idea of Ontario or BC is just a big nope for me (although I go to BC every couple years, love it there I would not want to live there).

This is a very well made short video. Canada needs leadership that is bold enough to think about Canada's interest and plan for the long haul, rather than just content collecting money from land title transfer.

Thank you very much for this educative video. I have 6.5 band. And I have done my ECA report with WES. It's a family relocation. Please I need a guide seriously. Thank you.

Trudeau is the problem, no need for a video

Hello Thank you for your video. I really appreciate. I am applying for both my parent. Do I need upload the documents each of them and family information for them separately?\nOr is it ok for only for main applicat

Thanks for the comprehensive video! Can you please let me know if invitation letter needs to be notarized? And the affidavit you mentioned for the duration of stay was stamped in India? Or we can just provide a signed declaration? Thanks in advance!

Hello kemi thank you so much for this video please for the Wes evaluation does my spouse also need to evaluate his results\nShould I already have the proof of fund in my account before applying for the express entry ?

Hi Bro, thanks for the video. In the Activities section where we need to provide information about education, work, and other activities, do we need to give the parent's details? Pls clarify.

Just wanted to say that I found your video so interesting. Living an hour east of Toronto I only experience positive Doctor & Specialist needs. Recently had a Catscan with original appointment scheduled for 5 weeks away but got a call about a cancellation 3 days after Family Doctors referral. Just saying it's not all bad re medical care maybe the answer is Toronto is too overpopulated as possible reason for long waitimes.

Hi.first of all thanks for the beautiful video. My concern was Im a citizen of india but working in Saudi Arabia. Do i need to upload bank statements of india or saudi?
