I'm a Quebecois, I'm married to an American. Hell no ? ? ... was the answer to this question. My husband had an opportunity in Texas (double his salary)... Do you want to move there? I didn't let him finish!! Out of question... I will not go to that social nightmare (politics, woman rights, racism, health, education, gun violence, religion, transphobia, fachisim, patriotism, extreme capitalism, etc) plus the weather!!! No way... Hors de question!! Ni pense même pas!!! Na, niet, nada, non, nooooope? ?

Well, as a Canadian, I guess i'll pitch in.\nWould I move to the US? The short answer is no. But I will explain more in detail.\n\nFirst, I do not see any advantages to the US compared to Canada. Americams often tout their country as the beacon of freedom and the land of opportunities, but I don't feel that Canada is so different there. We're actually higher on the world freedom index, and its not like our economy was in shambles and everyone dirt poor... We pay more taxes, fine, but we also get more services in return, and that last part has the advantage to remove a big layer of worry. Like, for healthcare, I don't have to worry if i'm covered by insurance or not, or if the insurance carrier will drop me on some technicality. I'm a citizen. All the basic needs are covered; no questions asked (and the healthcare quality is not half bad. We just prioritize urgent cases over non-urgent; so if you go to the hospital for something non-urgent, you will wait, and more urgent cases will pass before you. Annoying when it happens, but I understand and agree with that in the end)\n\nSecond, I do see a lot of disadvantages. All the points raised in the video are valid, from the private-sector healthcare system, the gun control laws (or lack thereof), the social policies and legislation in some states; they don't agree with me.\n\nI think it comes down to some specific social and cultural ideas that are prevalent or at least present in a substantial manner in the american society. Bear in mind that I am generalizing here, not every american believes these points, but many do. I'm talking about ego, nationalism/patriotism, secularism etc.\nI feel that the US often has a really overinflated vision of itself. Like, the idea that America is the best. At everything. Wich is factually not true, but this idea also poisons the debate on many issues, and tends to limit social introspection that could lead to real advances.\n\nI've also noticed that the american basic school system is strongly patriotic. Everyone in the US is taught a lot about the US themselves in school, but not much about the rest of the world. Not great for open mindedness and introspection when you have little comparison points.\n\nAndlets not delve into the religious aspect. I've seen a poll somewhere where 48% of americans were AGAINST the separation of church and state. For me thats not only insane, its dangerous. It fits the individualistic mentality where people can more easily start thinking that their way is THE way. It creates a very polarized society much more prone to high volatility.\n\nSo, yeah, no, I wouldn't live in the US. I'd much rather stay in Canada where i don't have to worry if I get sick or hurt, if some agressive drunk idiot in a bar is armed, or if some fundamentalists from some religious congregation is gonna be able to try to politically force their point of view.

I went to a conference in the US for training in body language, influence, and persuasion. We were able to meet with the presenters in small groups to ask questions. One of the attendees asked for body language indications that someone had a concealed weapon. After the answer, I said to the person who asked the question that I was glad I didn’t need to know how to look for concealed weapons because I’m from Canada. She looked at me in shock and said I really needed to know that. I emphatically responded, “No, I don’t need to know that because I’m from Canada.” She looked at me like I was the most naive and clueless person she’d ever met and walked away. I felt sad that Americans have to be so worried about guns that she thought that was absolutely essential knowledge. Quite frankly, I don’t even know what the answer was to her question since I totally tuned out because I knew I’d never need that information!

Lack of affordable housing -- lack of housing in general -- is the main reason people already living here are being priced out and why so many refugees and immigrants cannot afford the cost when they move here. When these people come to Canada for a better life and/or to escape the suffering that they were living in, they cannot bring their homes with them. It is the government's responsibility at all levels to ensure that these newcomers have a place to go when they come here. A homeless shelter should not be the answer. Buy up office spaces and convert them (if safe to do so with whatever codes need to be met) into affordable housing units. For years we've been seeing hundreds of news articles about vacancies in office buildings being at all time highs, yet only a handful of them are being converted. 500,000 people a year entering a country where there isn't enough housing for them (let alone the people living here already) is irresponsible on the government's part. If this is your pledge, at least give these people a better life and not send them to shelters or onto the streets as soon as they arrive. If Canada is to truly be a safe haven for immigrants and refugees escaping their hardships, it's paramount that the government does what it can to make these people actually feel like their life will change for the better. I'm all for immigration since it helps the economy and knowing that Canada can put people in a better position for themselves and their families, but it's the lack of preparation from the governments that makes me question their pledge in this way.

He never answers a question, just babbles on with his version of nonsense.

Very very informative video. I get all answers of my questions. Thanks..Pls prepare one detailed video of buying own house in Canada proving all details, all terms and conditions etc. Like who can buy and who can't.

Thanks..you just answered my questions....

Assuming...as a single person u willing to stay after study....to work nd hopefully be a citizen....How will i answer that???.. if a question is asked ..whats my plan after school as a single not married

No, they do bring up questions such as where are you from and you respond to them then they ask you where are you from originally, they are very nosi and by many means want to find answers for their curiosity, in Toronto no one even do eye contact let alone to be friendly or socializing, if someone approaches you is not out of friendliness, it's out of their curiosity and finding out information about you. If they hear you speaking in your native ? get mad and tell you here is Canada. You should speak English, that's not the reason, the reason is that they want to know what you are talking about and knowing about your personal business and conversation

The newscaster doesn’t answer her own question: “why are we seeing this, right now?” Do you know?

Hi sir. Do I have to fill up IMM5476, since I was an principal applicant and also doing the application on behalf of my spouse? \nMy second question is, After uploading the supporting documents in my application and the next is my spouse application that I will fill up, does it has also a supporting documents in the portal that will upload in her own? I was thingking if all our document are one also to be upload or separate? Thank you sir if you have the time to answer my question. Its been a month thinking and confused about it.

On the serious side now. What if you lived in a country that was so poor you barely could live. Now what if you were a family man who couldnt provide for your loved ones. Then you hear about this place where its called the land of opprtunity and has the best economy in the world. Thanks to Joe. You can fact check that too. Would you give everything you had to find a better way of life for yourself and love ones or would you just waste at the side just to die.? Thats a deep question for many because they could not answer it. Be grateful you not one of these poor people who have it a lot harder and have less to almost nothing but believe The United states of American could help them. Trump supported a wall on the West Coast thur Texas . I wonder why at times . I have been around the world and one thong i can say about walls. They are not built to keep people from coming in country but built to keep the people from leaving the country and a wall signifies communism. Think about that onebfor a minute.

They use the word racist to stop the conversation. Instead of engaging. He never answered the question about Sharia law. Why a Sikh supporting Islam why? Do you support sharia? Was the question.

Do I get my question answers here ?

Why are we seeing this right now?if you\nGotta ask that question just go ahead and jump off a cliff now.\n\nLemme answer it for you ,sweetheart……Obama.

LoL I need passport and have to answer many goofy questions to cross border into US

If this was black folks running in would they shoot first and then answer questions.

How can you ask the question why are we seeing this? When the answer is extremely simple is because our current Administration has allowed this to happen. Why because of power, we need to First worry about the citizens of this country before we start worrying about other individuals. Is not being heartless to those in need, but you can't rescue people were drowning when you yourself can go under just like them.

Since the big guy won't answer the question, this is going to cost US millions.. just take EBT of 346.00 a month x 12 x the number of entrants. ? That doesn't cover Medicaid and everything else.

I am a senior citizen and I've been trying not to ask this question I've been trying not to put it into words that I'm about to that is what the f*** is wrong with white people answer the disease isn't a genetic malfunction what the f*** is it I might think it's just a Personnel or persons there it is a hole call Edison home system it makes me wonder what the f*** is wrong with white people? How can they get Joy Glee and satisfaction out of doing evil Chehalem bean and depressing thing is it mental illness?

I live in Canutillo, Texas, Suburb of El Paso. Migrants cross illegally on a daily basis. Are we going to have enough food and shelter for all of these people. Probably not! This is unfair for our homeless population. What about our veterans that have actually fought to defend this country? If we can't take care of our own problems, how can we take care of another countries problems. Who is vetting these people. No one. Canada only allows people who have a college degree. Should we do the same? Too many questions and no one can answer them. \n\nWe need a stronger Title 42

I have interviewed hundreds of these people, my first question is “why do you want to come to America?” Their first response is always the same… money. Hardly any of them answer “to work hard” don’t be fooled. Humans are all the same. America to them is a place you can travel to get a brand new nice hotel room unlimited food, internet, clothes and spending money. Imo these people are the exact same mindsets as those who join BLM riots and raid Walmarts.

Which visa type can I apply for? Please give a more specific answer. Which visa type is issued quickly and accurately. Thanks for your reply.

Good day ma, please ma I have 3 questions ma\n1. once my transcript and certificate is stamped by the school do I need to go to them to send my result and others to WES for evaluation????\n\n2. Must I change my name to my husband name before I could add his name to the spouse part, I mean is marriage certificate enough to proof that part without adding his name to mine?\n\n3. I just finished my degree and processing my clearance should I wait till I collect my certificate before I apply for WES???\nPlease I need answer please

So maby stop and think about it because reading a book and answering a few questions is simple rather than risk your life and freedom to try and gain freedom instead of following instructions

So, were white people immigrants to this land at some point, or did they steal it from someone? Let's answer that tough age-old question together as a nation, shall we?

How to start preparing. \n\nTake three days during the work week and turn off your electric and water. Make do with what you can and write down things you needed and didn't have or tasks that were difficult. After you have this list, research alternatives\nEat, wear and consume cheaper. Choose cheaper meals to create room in your grocery budget to put back food. Wear second hand clothes or put a spending freeze on clothes shopping in order to make room to buy what you'll need for the future (especially if you have small children who grow frequently). Consume less electricity, gas, propane by finding alternatives. This may mean using a crock pot, hang drying clothes, using candles at night and opening windows for sunshine during the day etc. With the wiggle room you've created in those bills you now have some money to buy more food storage, medical supplies or invest in a small solar unit. \nMake an edc bag. This is something you will carry all the time (on your person or in your car) that could provide you with what you and your family need for 3 nights. Think about what you may put into an overnight bag if you were to stay at a hotel. This will ensure even if something happens and you're out you're able to shelter in place \nUnderstand how to take care of medical emergencies at home. Remember that in a major event, ems could be down or unavailable for sometime. While this is never the first line of defense in an emergency, understanding how to manage medical emergencies (high infections, deep wounds, pneumonia, asthma attacks, shock, 2nd and 3rd degree burns, poisoning, radiation sickness, torn ligaments, allergic reactions, excessive bleeding) while you wait on help can be life and death. \n Food, water, temperature control are your highest priorities. If faced with a major event where services are limited for more than 3 days, having stored food as well as a way to cook, a way to filter and store water, and a way to keep yourself cool or warm can be life altering. \n\nPlease remember as we are entering or for some of us are already in uncertain times, having this foundation gives security as well as lowers stress. It allows us to feel more in control and gain a more positive perspective on not only our lives but the world. I'm willing to answer any questions from my own experience in the comments if you feel overwhelmed!

Hi, If i am taking care of my parents expenses while their stay in Canada then, should I say yes for this question-is someone else giving you money for you stay in canada?\nPlease advise what kind of details should I enter if the answer is yes

I watch the Congressional hearings with the director of Homeland Security repeatedly when asked if this was a problem he would not answer he would just diverting the question with statements that have nothing to do with the question asked.\nBut the one thing he kept repeating and making a point was that border patrol has apprehended countless numbers of Cuban and people from Venezuela and has denied entry into the United States she kept making the point of these two countries because he knows it's been especially and Venezuelans will definitely vote Republican because they come from communist socialist countries.\nIf I am wrong why would it be these were the two that he made the biggest point about just to let you know he also was talked about people from Haiti\nGo watch the videos of the hearing they were a joke

Last two questions, the answer is always New Zealanders

Best short I've watched this year! The questions were almost as funny as the answers! ?

This report would have been so much more effective if they explained what these arrested people will go through once they are in Canada and what their prospects of staying there are. How pointless to make a report like this and not answer the questions most people are asking? Does the media simply not know? Are they not allowed to ask?

Please answer my question sir,\nI m from Bangladesh, I completed my biometric from Vfs center in November 24 in 2022 for immigration in Canada,but still now I m waiting for my visa letter, can you tell me how long it takes time for send visa letter?

Sometimes these questions feel like those from competitive exams which intentionally expect 'outside the box' answers ( no matter how far removed they are from the reality)

Hello mam can I ask one question\nIf i come canada as a tourist and my friends live in Canada they can help me to get a job as a referral, if i get a job in Starbucks or Amazon warehouse, McDonald's, after that can I apply for work permit and then pr, is it possible plz answer me mam?

Hello, thank you so much for this perfectly informative video. I have one question. If you can answer, that will help me a lot. I am currently a Fully funded Ph.D. student in Quebec since 2022 may. I am here with my wife who has an open work permit, and 5 years old daughter. I want to quit my Ph.D. and apply for a job in Nova Scotia under the AIP program. What are the rules for me? Can I apply for that without any problem? Regards.

U answered all my questions in one video.\nThanks a lot ma

Hi, for the question that says “are you applying for someone else?” Should you still answer yes if you’re applying for yourself and someone else at the same time? Hope you see this ??

Hi there. thank you for the very helpful video but I have question i only apply for my mom for tourst visa should i need to sign my invitation letter? Should it be really look like it or i can do something semilar to the letter you show? and lastly about the bank statement, she dont have bank acc. she is also widow, im the one who will provide everything for her from plane ticket to everything she needs here. thank you im hoping for your answer. love from edmonton.

First off Canada is not a systemically racist country I’m white I’m also poor and I’ve lived here all my life nearly everyone excluding the native population in a immigrant or a descendant of a immigrant my mom is Portuguese and I also have black family members we are no more racist than anyone else in any other country. Every country has a few homeless people and that number has grown immensely due to poor Liberal government policy when I was young there were maybe one or 2 homeless people in my home town and they were severely mentally Ill homelessness has greatly increased since pm Justin Trudeau has been in power and that’s something I can say I have observed first hand living here in Ontario Canada for 30 years - my entire life. Canadian tax payers don’t want to pay for drug addicts to get more drugs the Liberal Canadian government have set up “safe injection sites” and “ methadone clinics” that basically give these addicts more drugs that are payed for with our tax dollars again these clinics and safe injection sites didn’t exist when I was a kid and since then the number home homelessness has increased as well as the number in population addicted to drugs. Also you’re getting your statistics on hate crimes motivated based on race or ethnicity from CTV new a media outlet on the pay role of the Liberal government most people with any sense don’t pay attention to mainstream media here in Canada because it’s no longer journalism when you parrot a narrative that the government that is constantly attacking the fundamental values of Canada no controls I live in a complex that consists mostly of Arabic in Syrian people most racist comments I’ve heard has been between other families that have recently immigrated to Canada and it doesn’t happen often it’s usually just from unruly kids that are too ignorant to understand the implications of the words they utter at one another RBC is one bank in Canada if all the people working there happen to be white it doesn’t make a difference and is likely purely because they’’ve been working that same job for many years now we don’t give people jobs in Canada based on their skin colour people get jobs based on their performance and wether they meet the necessary SKILL requirements for that job there are lots of other banks in Canada that have different cultural diversities so far I honestly just feel like your just shitting on my county and that’s extremely rude of you eh. It is hard to find a family doctor these days a lot of doctors were fired for refusing to take the Covid shots I also refused to take the Covid shot and I haven’t had Covid through out this entire plandemic not once I hardly even wore a mask because I know when I’m being lied too I know how to spot when someone is experiencing duper’s delight when they think they’re getting away with doing something wrong Justin Trudeau and Christia Freeland frequently express duper’s delight when they refuse to answer questions or deflect questions your voice sounds like your from either Sweden or Switzerland how close am I I’m not surprised that’s also where the WEF “word economic forum” is from yes? It really seems like you’re just trying to demonize Canada as a whole and quite frankly it’s insulting I love my county and all the people in it where ever they come from again accept for the natives we all started out as immigrants here and I find the stuff that you’re saying is extremely divisive the only people that really leave either do so because they want a good job and a life else where for their own personal experience and life fulfillment or have been deported for what ever reason we have strict immigration laws so there are many ways to get sent back to ones original country.

Asks u a question, cuts u off & answers it himself ??

The real question is: Why do you need to send your kid to Canada ? When you are willing to spend between $30000 - $40000 (24 lakh to 32 lakh) you could send your child to the best school/University in India. \nThe answer is: Greed. Don't wrap and hide your greed under poverty and helplessness and dreams. You dream of permanent residency, big houses, cars and White girls. That's the whole truth.

I have a doubt if daughter is inviting to canada so should we write her details again in children section because in last question they ask if this child is not in canada so will he or she will come with you to canada in that case yes or no there is no answer
