Ulmmm Vancouver is also right up there maybe even worse than this actually. Get help people and don’t do drugs simple as that !

You gotta come to Vancouver bro. It will make TO look like a kids candy store. The homeless situation in Vancouver has been a conversation at the UN ??.

Come to Vancouver...you aint seen nothin yet.

Vancouver is the homeless capital of Canada. It is 10x worse than toronto.

Ya consider the source here cbc is news but its news from the perspective of the government in charge. Its worth checking out the Vancouver south asian gang detachment. they report that the student program in canada is used a lot by gangs and people up to no good. I figure the cops would know and we know JT and Jagmeet do not like them

you clearly havent been to East Hastings in Vancouver ?

Turning into Vancouver and San Francisco.

Whatever happened in Vancouver. Housing market homeless and drugs. That was an experiment. To then do it to all other cities

Vancouver is just as bad.

Uh, Vancouver is the epicentre, not toronto

homeless capital is actually vancouver

GREATER VANCOUVER BC \n is beautiful, but if you're not rich, this is not the place for you. I JUST READ VANCOUVER IS THE 3 MOST EXPENSIVE PLACE TO LIVE IN THE WORLD.

Vancouver is homeless capital of Canada

Is it worth coming to canada in 2024 as a permanent resident ? which province is good for jobs vancouver or toronto ?

your actually wrong Vancouver homeless is way higher in the winter cause they travel from all over the country there.. should do some research man. this is nothing compared to what's happening in van atm. take a plan down there an you will be shocked

The homeless capital is Vancouver downtown east side. Toronto is the most expensive city in Canada. They don’t have the infrastructure for all these people. Lot’s of these bums don’t want to work.

Toronto is not the homeless capital it Vancouver

You think that is bad.. wait till you see Vancouver

even canadian medical system is getting worse and worse. \nwalk in clinic doctors dont wanna see patients \nI visited 3 different walk in clinics and they all said no\nWhen i visited Toronto one homeless guy tried to hit me, boyfriend and our friend. \nthe homelss guy told us to leave his park so we did and 5 mins later the same homeless guy was hitting one of the bikers in the driving lane. All the other bikers started to punching the homeless guy and started kicking him brought him to the opposite side walk and kept hitting him. seriously, canada's becoming very dangerous even in Vancouver being very much ghetto place.\n\nI think the PM should be focusing fixing Canada instead of getting more people in. When most of the middle class citizens are becoming more of a poor class. There's no balance in the country. Middle class is now poor class and I dont know what poor class is anymore. The rent is fucking crazy cant buy anything seriously organic lemon is over 5 dollars i mean i dont eat anything organic but this is crazy. especially when you try to buy something like a coffee the workers want you to pay at least 20% tip and if you dont they fucking glare at you. I really wanna leave Canada i dont wanna live here anymore. Its getting dangerous every day. More killing, theft, scams its so disgusting. 20 years ago was so nice. even though it was still expensive at least everyone wasnt mad at each other.\n\nYou should do Vancouver theres so much tents in the parks police officers dont do anything. Those people who needs to stay in the mental hospital doesnt get those help they're out in the streets.

I thought Vancouver was the homeless capital of Canada

Largest Urban centers (Toronto Montreal Vancouver) overwhelmingly voted (3x) for JT … now they get to enjoy their reward! FTO!!!!

What a joke....you need a salary of well over 100K in most cities in Canada just to get by and Vancouver on 50K you'd be lucky if you could rent a room

The public transit thing I disagree with. Other than maybe Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, any where else it's pretty lack lustre. You need a car. Edmonton, Calgary, anywhere Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Northern Territories, the Maritimes. Basically 50% of the rest of the country. \nAnd public transit is absolutely dreadful in the whole country compared to Europe.

The entire thing is a lie. We don't need people...we're a Country whose GDP is built on Natural resources...Not Tim Horton workers. And now with AI we'll need even fewer workers but it's too late...they're in, and they can now bring in all their relatives. Canada is already gone...I was born and raised in Vancouver and it began right after Expo 86 with China flooding Vancouver. It's all part of the plan...it's planned to collapse. It's clearly an agenda at this point. Not once in the history of Canada have we built more than 200K new homes, yet here we are with a 500K per year mandate on new immigrants, with last year bringing in 1.2M? How can you as a Government deliberately do that to the citizens of your Country? We were all sold down the river for new votes and tax dollars...and of course the eventual realignment for a one-world currency.

Too expensive and loss of freedoms. Here in Vancouver they are all rich.

When will MPs talk about CANADIANS being FIRED from their jobs only to have them replaced with international students and temporary workers???\n\nLabor shortages are a LIE. I am in Vancouver and no one can find work who was born and raised here. They had great jobs but they were all fired and can't get hired. This is a scam of epic proportions

I just took a bus South on Victoria Drive in Vancouver, at 7PM, it was filled to the rafters with immigrants. Mostly Latin/south American and Africans. This is insanity.

Leaving Canada??? Are you kidding me? If all these disillusioned immigrants are leaving, then why do us born and raised Canadians see every major city of ours being overtaken over by these immigrants, specifically the South and east Asian variety, in every single one of them? Here is statistic for you on one of them.....more than 75% of the people who live in Toronto, are from another country!! 75%, and Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and every other big city we have are catching up to that percentage as we speak. I laugh my ass off when I when I see a tiny minority group like yours claiming that immigrants are leaving at a rapid pace. I suppose though it might appear that way to you if you were not born here to begin with and witnessed the massive change in our immigrant population over the past 30 years like us born and raised Canadians have. Dont get me wrong either. I am all for immigration and know how necessary they are to our successful economy and I do feel for the ones that try to make a decent living here but get pushed out for whatever reason, but to say that there is alot of immigrants leaving is simply not true by any measureable standard or why are there so many of you everywhere? Something isnt making any sense here and I know its not coming from us born and raised Canadians either!

Canada will surely havte even more professional labour shortage in specific filed, IT people will leave Canada for USA . Universities have hard time recruiting and maintaining qualified professors bc even 120000 a year for Toronto and Vancouver are no longer sufficient to buy a house.

lookout society in vancouver bc from 2016 to 2020 was hiring only European for management jobs they didn't want to hire anybody except European other than lower jobs \nNow that they have fullest rate for white European they started to provide jobs for none WHITE IRISH workers what do you call that ?\nwhy dont you investigate that? Unless its too closed to home and against WOKE policy

yep, noticed it immediately back when Olympics happened in Vancouver 2010. Greedy f**ken land owners jacked the price up and never stop raising the prices since. Was a huge eye opener for everyone, amazing how much they can get away with for the sake of greed.

Yes there is an housing crisis but you make it sound like the issues and high prices in Toronto and Vancouver are country wide, while it is far from the case. Ynless you are deadset on living in the big cities you can still find affordable housing with a salary under 100K$.

That’s a good thing more people leaving Canada ,more people will find accommodation and getting back to a reasonable immigration\nWe have way too many immigrant without skill living on minimum wages,hardly enough to live on , Toronto Vancouver Montreal are place’s impossible to make a living when the pay is so low en compared to the cost of living

There is a whole other Canada outside Toronto, Brampton or Vancouver. Disgruntled, leave. No one is stopping you from leaving. Should have done more investigation on Canada instead of taking some hired foreign immigration official advice, whose job is to make money off your back, telling you mistruths and all you had to do was do your own investigation. This is on you. Complaining about shovelling snow in a country where it snows! Really! What a stupid comment. Unhappy? There is a plane leaving with your name on it. And no one owes you a living.

What is the benefit of coming to Canada now? \nWhen Canada opened up in the seventies, there were many advantages to coming to Canada. Back then there was a lot of work in the lumber industry in western Canada and big factories in eastern Canada. In those days, if you were willing to do any work, you would get a job within 8-10 days. \nIn 1990, a bachelor apartment went for $500 a month and a one-bedroom was $600 a month. \nAlmost all would get their 3-4 bedroom house within 10 years. \nGroceries used to be so cheap that $200 a month could support the entire family. The telephone bill was $10 per month. A Vancouver-Toronto bus ticket was only $100. \nSchool education was good, children had to give exams. It used to be very easy to see a doctor. Buses were less crowded. \nNow the standard of education has gone down so much that children become like robots after finishing school. If you have to go to the hospital, you have to wait for 8-10 hours to see the doctor. \nNew immigrants find basements for shelter. Getting your own house has become a dream now. Those who have bought houses will have to pay the mortgage for a long time. Many homeowners are paying interest only, there is no reduction in the principal. \nBus service is so sparse that sometimes more than 100 passengers wait for a 38-seater bus. \nInternational students are in a very bad situation. Spend 25-30 lakhs, live 4-5 together in basements and do hard labor jobs (warehousing, retail cashier, security). Even if they do 2 years diploma they do not get any good job, only minimum wage jobs. \nThose with good jobs or jobs (income of eighty thousands or more) should come to Canada with a lot of thought, because when they come here, they are all considered workers and they have to find low-paying jobs and have to live in often in basements. \nProf. Kuldip Pelia \nSurrey, Canada

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!!

Canada is not only Toronto or Vancouver.

Ok... Toronto and Vancouver is a very small part of Canada... they are not the whole Canada... I understood the struggles but there are lots of places in Canada is what we say livable... Hey Im alone here in Edmonton... i pay mortgage,,, i pay bills,,, i pay debts,,, i support my family back home,,,, i buy whatever i want and most of all,,, i only have one job... and look!!! Im surving for 14 years now alone... Struggles should be dealt with willingness to do what is necessary,,, hardwork and resiliency not quitting... you will still have to work hard whether you go back home or go somewhere else... at least here in Edmonton,,, you're hard work is rewarding unlike most of the countries around the world...

How an airlines worker allegedly exploited Canada’s immigration laws to admit people from India\nThe 24-year-old former British Airways worker is estimated to have made over $5.1 million from the fraud scheme\n\nAuthor of the article:Jamie Casemore\nPublished Feb 28, 2024\n\nA former British Airways employee has allegedly fled to India after being arrested for allegedly helping Indian citizens get around immigration laws so they could claim asylum in Canada.\n\nAs initially reported in The Times of London on Tuesday, the employee who worked at Heathrow airport in London, U.K., is said to have enabled people without proper documentation to get on flights to Canada so that they could claim asylum upon entering the country. He allegedly charged £25,000 per person or about $43,000.

Vancouver best weather. Edmonton best mall. Calgary best rodeo. Regina most friendly. Winterpeg coldest. Toronto most rude. Montreal most fun. I haven't been to the maritimes.

This is what happens when you living in a loser city like Vancouver, just like a LA. Not all places in Canada is horrible but Vancouver is the is armpit for middle class citizen.

I think immigrants need to look outside of Greater Vancouver or Toronto… there are still affordable housing options available in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax, St. John, etc…

Canada's biggest problem, other than Trudeau/Singh being in charge is that there are only a few major cities that people gravitate to. If the boundaries were pushed outside of Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, things may become more affordable. All the land in between Toronto and Windsor. The issue is it would take companies expanding to these places.

Plane loads are coming in daily, especially Vancouver.

Seriously just the last 6 months an officer was shot and killed,a woman was run over at a cross walk, driver did not stop,two people were shot outside a restraunt in their car,in a mall parking lot ,and thats just stuff I've heard about , dont even get me started on the machine gun shootings nearer the border in a family area and I live in a small city in Vancouver B.C. so that rules out low crime

isn’t there any other cities than Vancouver and Toronto? Any video about leaving is about those two cities.

Ok the safe drug supply really only applies in Vancouver. This is not true in Toronto.

Do just a little research before you come here and maybe don’t move to one of the most expensive cities in the world and then complain that life is too expensive. ie Toronto and Vancouver. \nGo to more affordable cities or just don’t come at all. No one forced you to move here.

❤❤❤ 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

once in 2015 i went to vancouver and on the connection in Toronto from Rio de Janeiro I decided to go outside to see snow for the first time with just a GAP hood... never felt so cold! I thought I was dying rs... took a selfie in the snow though...
