Quebec is only the number one cause it is living of the tax dollar from f.i. alberta , BC and saskatchewan ? Quebec Cannot stand on its self

Dude… Quebec got most of the immigrants in Canada. It’s even worst here around Montreal.

6 months unemployed here in Quebec. The salary is the same as in 2018. More and more people asking money in streets.

Canada and Quebec are shitty places to live

Here in Moncton New Brunswick its been getting bad over the past few years with homeless camps, yet they are building huge apartment buildings on every possible place they can find space but those are all going to all the immigrants and people moving out here from Quebec and Ontario. I'm a school bus driver and just on Monday while driving my students, there was a group of homeless trying to resuscitate a guy on the sidewalk who looked completely dead with a purple face and this happened maybe 50ft from a local foodbank. They all walk like they are zombified and bent/knelt over. Thanks to woke mayor's and their sanctuary cities we are seeing this crap and to Trudeaus and his Liberal governments immigration policies.

of course quebec is 1, all those equalization payments from Alberta and PM's constantly favouring it over others.

Discrimination in Quebec is Overwhelming especially at the Workplace. Good Luck finding a Job.

As an American living in Quebec, the most unique and strongest facet of Canadian culture, you folks in the rest of Canada need to support Québec’s battle to retain its Canadian identity. This is what the Liberals want to wipe out. Y’all bought into to the diversity b.s. Most folks here in Québec have not. Imagine having your culture gone after 400 years of existence.

Quebec is most beautiful city in north america if you are ready to freeze your ass 6 months a year

They need to learn ENGLISH !!! (Or French in Quebec )\nI'm tired of people who only communicate via blinking.

Really BBC? I didn’t expect such a bias and poorly reported piece from you guys. What editor for the reputable BBC would even sign off on such a direction? \n\nYES it’s normal to see a drop in citizen application when the government made it much more difficult for permanent residents to do so. There was an intent there to naturally filter out what had become a burden on government funds and resources. I’m sorry but if you are living in Canada’s largest city [Toronto], don’t be shocked that cost of living is ridiculously expensive. The same will apply to every other western nations largest city. And yes Canada’s second largest city [Montreal] is ridiculously cheap, but good luck trying to get in when you not only need the Canadian federal governments approval for citizenship but the Quebec provincial governments as well where fluency in the French language is now a requirement. \n\nAt the end of the day, your education abroad provided you with tools and resources that helped implement your vision. It allowed you recognize the changing dynamic of the global economy, the bygone era of easy opportunity and progress in the western world and the significant leaps and growth that your own “developing” nation has made, allowing you to easily break into your own market with much success than struggle surrounded by red tape, by laws, bureaucracy, expenses and competition while balancing yourself in a culture with societal norms and customs that are unfamiliar and new to you.

Why you are always attacking the international students? We pay rent, taxes, CPP, tuition. We are the best students and most brilliant people of our own countries. We didnt come here for food, most of us come from wonderful countries with better weather beaches etc. We are here to contribute to this country as a new adventure while our intention remains returning home one day. Rest assured that many other countries offer better living conditions such as cheap university kitchen where you can eat and not worry about the meals, dorms just a few meters from classes etc. I tried one week applying in indeed and I got 6-7 job offers so there are plenty of jobs around. Look at the photos you are posting, most are from africans who came to canada illegally from mexico-us route or ocean-Quebec ships. Why dont you count millions of Ukrainian who are here taking your taxes and most of them doing nothing not even knowing English! Apparently you havent travelled that much overseas so your angle of view is narrow so I am not going to waste time seeing your videos. Good luck!

I believe that mass migration is a globalist policy pushed by Soros and others that want to install the new world order with agenda 21.. No media asks Trudeau anymore about the Roxanne road in Quebec that allows illegals to cross over and then get free hotels meals travel and money which is still in play just like the democrats in the US are doing. The goal is to create world social equity at the expense of Citizens and destruction of social programs from overwelmed requests for government assistance.. Yes they want to replace the population with immigrants to create a one party state and implement the globalist social order..

Why show quebec onky with snow? Summers here are great, and this winter we had just one storm, if you call 20 cm of snow a storm we also had a green Christmas

Quebec - too much a French language police state.

i live in quebec the majority here is now middle eastern and mexican where i live ...Most cannot speak english or french .Landlord(most are not canadian) here seem to like putting non canadian .i think immigrant should not have the right to vote or own buildings only renting

Im also done with Canada. Please for the love of God, seperate Quebec. Lets just hurry the break up of Canada already. The east can do what it wants, Manitoba- who cares about that place, Sask, Alberta, amd north of the Okanagan will be fine. The rest of yas-best of luck.

Today, the federal annouced that it will force Quebec to take more immigrants. There is a kind of overflow. This gave gas to the clan who work for a sovereign province.

The problem is the unresolved national unity crisis which, after 60 years, gave way to the tail wagging the dog. That is, Quebec and the Bloc Quebecois control the national agenda in Ottawa while English-speaking Canadians are a bunch of overly polite passive pussies who don't have cojones to do anything about it.

Go to Quebec, lots of freebees there.

I have lived in Quebec, Canada for more than 10 years. It is true that Canada is no longer as livable as it used to be. I feel that in addition to the increase in the cost of living in recent years, the overall social fragmentation has become greater, and many social conflicts have intensified. In short, you should be careful when immigrating to Canada.

Quebec you funny pay taxes and gas expensive

This video maybe reflects the 1980s and 1990s when Quebec was very affordable!! No longer TRUE!! ITS the 3rd most expensive City Montreal in CANADA behind Vancouver and Toronto!!! Please check your facts!!

Quebec should have won its referendum in the 90's

Strange! This video only shows Quebec City! No pictures of Montreal! Why?

In the past 2 years - I have spent 3 months in Toronto, and last year, 3 months in Montreal...and it is like the Tale of Two Cities! In Toronto, I stayed at a friend's off the park that abuts Queens St, and Dundas St. on the far side. I barely got a good night's sleep - from the constant wailing of Sirens at ALL Hours of the night/early morning! I witnessed several incidents of random violence - including on the trolly cars, and many of them involving homeless Indigenous people ...who were historically shit-on by Canada! In comparison to US Cities - Toronto minded me of problem-plagued SF, Seattle, and Portland. The Density factor reminded me of NYC, minus the Positive Street savvy that New Yorkers have in spades! I did meet some very nice people, but overall - Torontonians were uptight, concerned about money all the time, and sometimes - just downright rude! Fast-Forward to Montreal. I stayed in Le Plateau...renting a room for 3 months. Lovely House-mates - One Turkish/Polish Woman, and an Iranian Man - both were quirky, and Delightful! My rent was very decent, and my Host showed me all the affordable places to eat, swim for free, free Yoga in the parks...within 2 days, I felt at Home! It was 3 days before I even noticed a siren! Drivers stoped for pedestrians, and as it was summer - the bike-lanes were full of bike riders! The Green Spaces were plentiful, and Parc Mount Royal is a Terrestrial Paradise! Were there some social issues? - of Course! French being the official language, the Quebecois are a VERY Proud, and defiant lot! That was difficult at first, and then...learning some history of Quebec, you begin to understand their irascible defenses! There was some homelessness (a Fraction of what I see in the US, and Toronto!), and prices are creeping-up (the common complaint!), and there was a lot of construction, and road repairs - as Quebec is NOT a wealthy part of Canada, overall. In short - I miss Montreal DEEPLY! Toronto? - I have a good friend there, and I hope to see a few of the folks I met there, Again. Travel Impressions are mainly subjective, but I know where my heart, and affection lie!

Vive le Quebec. Tbnk.

❤❤❤ Vancouver and Toronto is very expensive but Alberta, Calgary, Montreal, Quebec etc is cheap but you won't see him b opportunities in these province

As someone who lived in Quebec for 8 years, I can say that Canada has an undeservedly good image abroad. It's a trap for immigrants, where they suck out all their savings and energy. In reality, it's not even a state, it's a corporation where monopolies and associated corrupt politicians rule the roost. Lack of preventive healthcare, huge taxes, unbelievably high prices compared to incomes for everything from food to housing, outdated infrastructure... I hope to find the ways to leave here soon.

French Canadian story:\n\nLong story short.\nVenezuela, 30 years in The French Canadian side (Quebec, Montreal). \n\nI'm done.\n\nI speak English, French and Spanish is my mother tongue. \n\nMoving to Spain in summer 2024. \nGot my Student Visa Ready.\nVenezuelan Passport ?\nAnd\nReady for the Ibérico American Citizenship.\n\nEducation: Bachelor's degree in computer Science.\nProfession: Data Scientist.

in quebec atleast 4-5 years for pr then 3-5 years for nationality

When were the good old days for Quebec in terms of immigration?\nWell, when the sovereigntist party, the Parti Québécois was in power for long periods between 1976 and the second referendum (1995).\n\nThe immigrants who arrived between 1976 and 1995 are among the best contributing to our society. Both those who arrived before and after have tremendous difficulties.\n\nWhen Canada is in charge of immigration, it systematically fails to integrate them into our society and set them against us ready to fail while enriching the super rich already.

Canada has 4 big provinces with populations over 3 million. Thats 4 out of ten, and they're the biggest provinces By land area.. Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. These 4 provinces are essentially Canada's money makers. And each of these provinces are like their own country. Collectively, each of these 4 provinces fund the rest of the country.

People from all over Canada are moving to Alberta , Calgary in particular. The cost of living is less than Ontario, Quebec and BC. The proximity to the mountains is great. Calgary is a beautiful city with great neighborhood’s and parks. The technology sector is attracting a large number of companys to Calgary because of the reasons above but also because the work force is one of the youngest and most educated,mainly because of the training for the oil and gas sector. Being just over an hour from one of the most beautiful national parks in the world doesn’t hurt. Banff National park. Also with access to many summer vacation spots in south and central BC. All these things make Calgary a great place to live. Alberta also has many other cities and towns worth checking out. With a competent and caring provincial leader in Danielle Smith, Alberta’s future is looking bright.

Im bilongual and ive lived in Montreal and quebec city... yep, this sounds like Quebec alright. I actually speak french, i just happen to have an accent ... so speaking french will not save you, they take issue with your existence

I love Canada, especially Quebec. It is expensive in all so-called developed countries and cities.

Quebec better than alberta??\nYou forgot the 14 billion $$$ it gets from the government,\nAnd alberta pats 20 billion $$ to the federal government

The most racist province goes to.... Quebec!

I live in Quebec \nMost Immigrants are not coming here \nAnd i have to say thanks to our strict immigration laws

This is only part of the story.\n\nInternational student visas aren’t permanent residence applications. It’s just one pathway to becoming a permanent resident in a process that takes years. The pandemic and a backlog of all sorts of applications at the IRCC likely had an impact as well.\n\nCanada is a big country with a diverse geography. Immigrants from the Punjab have been arriving in B.C., where they started farms and worked in the lumber industry, for over a century. It’s a different story in Quebec which is seeing meeting more and more immigrants from France, Africa and South America.

Video nails it on the head as a Canadian. But a few points to add\n1. Our federal governments have been 70% liberal. Which means they controlled and infused their sickening mindset of the party into our government agencies. \n2. Over 50% of our population lives in Ontario and Quebec and thy generally control the fate of our country and they have stifled the western provinces ability to grow economically . \n3. Our federal government can basically do whatever the hell they want because they have influence in every sector there’s no checks and balances. Hence all the recent totalitarian laws they have been passing trying to control “Canadian identity” and “culturel

As a Quebec born and raised woman, I am insulted by your comment of silent racism in Quebec. Your facts are twisted and untrue about our Law 21. Get your facts straight lady!

*I hope your NOT suggesting giving addicts FREE TAX COVERED DRUGS and NOW MAKING IT LEGAL FOR CHILDREN TO USE FENTYNAL, IS GOOD!!?* If I lived ANYWHERE ELSE I would NEVER move here. BTW, racism is BARELY a thing, it wasn't until Trudeau started calling everyone racists. Quebec had its reasons for banning hijabs, they also banned any other religious dress in GOV positions. This video is ridiculous.

Quebec it's the worst place ever and people are so racists.

Simple solution: only allow international student to study in Quebec and they have to get their education in French

Quebec is not really part of canada they have wanted to seperate from canada for decades and all of western canada would love them to leave

I dont understand why people keep coming to Canada i born and raised here i am always in debt i barely support my 2 kids and my wife Canadian government they take off my income almost 50% and 15 % taxes on purchases so i live with 35% of my income what the hell is that also we are living in cold weather 6 months i dont understand like here in Quebec if uou want to buy a house you pay a welcome tax whats the hell i recommend everyone if you have a stable job in your country stay in your country between your family .

Can we talk about the lack of services for people coming to Canada from Quebec a very distinct province. I am an anglo who left Quebec because of the political climate and am having a culture shock here in Ontario. There are so many immigrants and services and support for immigrants which is fantastic, but it is somehow expected that all Candians are alike and can easily move from one province to the next. I have been having difficulty adapting and would like to see more services for people like me which is virtually non-existent.

Yeah mate! Canada is a shit hole! And it always was! Except maybe Quebec. I left Canada 30 years ago and never looked back. \nIt's a Cultural desert, no Spirit, no Soul. Based on greed. Greed for money, money, money........ Now Corporate owned spiritual shit hole!

Yes, it is true ! An idealized view of Canada as a one of the best countries in the world is complete bull shit! It always was.\nI left Canada 30 year ago and never looked back. A cultural desert. No spirit, no soul except Quebec. But they are racists!
