I cannot compete with IT people from India. I honestly do not want to either.\n\nThat being said low wages impact all low income earners and we deserve better.\nI studied mostly in Canada and I know what I know. I also know after completing studies here during COVID and before I accepted low income work.\nI'm proud of myself for doing so.\nI do believe in hiring Canadians first.\nThen the rest. \n❤BEAUTIFUL PEACE \n❤BEAUTIFUL CANADA

F Canada — what you kids will do with degree from shitty Canadian universities?? No demand in this world, go to Europe explore schools there , better opportunities.

Sucks cause between like 1950 n like 2000 Canada was the best country not crowded things were affordable much better then it is now

I left Canada for Taiwan 10 years ago and havent looked back. I work for the Taiwanese government now and have a much better quality of life than I did back in Canada.

Why would anyone in the right state of mind would want to go to Canada . US is way better option.

Canada is anyways worthless to live now. You are just living here to pay taxes. And there are stupid religuous issues like india as well. So better look for new countries.

This is not that unusual in Canada and it is one of the most racist countries in the world!! They market themselves as the more tolerant and better version of the USA but that just hides the real ugliness of this country. I know, I lived there for 8 years before fleeing back to the USA. Even my children were not spared the hate — an elderly man tried to push down by 4 year old son in the ice crew line when he thought no one was looking. We often faced racial insults as we walked in the streets.

Its not Canada anymore, its Khalistan now. You better learn Punjabi language so you might have a chance.

Many states in the US provide much better growth than Canada, Minnesota, texas maybe south Carolina and other states that have plenty of land and better paying jobs.

I do not understand why you people came in the first place. If you think where you came from was better than Canada, why did you come in the first place?

Canada won’t look like Canada anymore , times comes the Indian will be ruling Manitoba , they have a better job here in winnipeg than the Canadians here for a long time , you could see them all over the province , and most of them they don’t obey the law , especially those motorists , they act that they own the streets , so sad ,

Living in Canada 38 years. At this time if I was like others seeking a better life Canada would be the last place I would want to go. Welcome to suffering and can’t afford a place to live. ???

The one thing that Canadians truly hate is when we have people from other countries coming to Canada and acting like they are better than us

Canada has seen the writing on the wall, last time Trump was leader. They are getting better prepared this time. ??

I applied and finally received notice that I can move to Canada as a permanent resident. Some of the videos I have watched (but not this one) have put a scare in me about my move - primarily about the future of the Canadian economy, etc. This video makes me feel better about my move and the recent election has made me realize that I no longer understand a good percentage of my fellow Americans. It has been, and will continue to, a very disheartening feeling that my US is, at least temporarily, gone, gone, gone. Regarding the homeless situation, my current American city is smaller than Ottawa by about 600,000 and the homeless problem here is probably quite a bit worse than Ottawa's.

I love Americans. Although that's a general statement and just like Canada, there are jerks there just like here, for the most part I get along great with them. There are pros and cons to living in Canada and the U.S., For the most part, I believe Canada is the superior country. We have a superior healthcare system, superior banking system, superior snacks, and superior safety. However, Trudeau is killing that. He's destroyed our country to the point that one more term, and it may well be expedient to move to the USA. He's destroying our economy, our values, our culture. We have the resources to top the USA in every way, but we've never had leadership to make that happen. The U.S. has a superior economy, retail, and military. Although some may argue that the USA has superior freedoms, I'm not sure I agree with that. I know I don't feel freer when I travel there. I will definitely travel to the U.S. again. I have lots of friends there who I love and would love to see. However, it will take more Trudeau for me to want to move there. Since it looks like he's on the way out, I better just stay put at least for now.

Canadian expat living in Asia. Just returned from a visit to Canada. While spending time with family and catching up with them was awesome, I couldn’t wait to be back in Asia. I’m enjoying a lifestyle here in a tropical beach that would be unreachable in Canada. Eating out all my meals, going out, attending cool events, flying frequently to nearby countries for a weekend or week or weeks at a time. Eating clean healthy food, meeting inspiring and friendly people. Typing this from the beach on a Sunday morning while enjoying my big freshly squeezed carrot juice cup that I paid 60 cents for! \n\nCanada only for visiting once a year. \n\nSave money, work remotely or better yet, learn a high income skill and live anywhere while making money online is the new FREEDOM PLAN. Get on it while you can!

Canada is often perceived as a land of opportunity and comfort, but my personal experience told a different story. After living there for over a decade, I made the difficult decision to leave for several reasons, each of which compounded my struggles and ultimately led me to seek a better quality of life elsewhere.\n\nThe Incident That Sparked the Change\nIn 2017, I was attacked in Toronto, leaving me with a broken nose. It was a traumatic experience, but the frustration didn't end there. When I reached out to my doctor to fix the injury, I was placed on a waitlist. For years, I followed up, hoping for progress, but by 2023, I still hadn’t received a call for the surgery. Each time, I was told the same thing: a shortage of doctors meant they couldn’t help. This highlighted a stark reality of the Canadian healthcare system—while it is publicly funded, it is often overwhelmed, leaving people waiting for years for essential treatments.\n\nThe Harsh Reality of Living Costs\nLiving in Canada became increasingly unsustainable for my family and me. Despite working hard and earning less than $100,000 annually, the cost of living pushed us into a debt of over $70,000. The financial strain was immense, forcing us to sell our home just to clear the loan. Even with this sacrifice, our lifestyle remained stagnant. We hadn’t taken a vacation in ten years because there was simply no room in the budget. Owning a home or enjoying basic luxuries felt like an unattainable dream, and I realized that continuing in this cycle was not a viable option.\n\nChallenging Weather Conditions\nCanada’s harsh weather was another factor that wore us down over time. The long, freezing winters and short, unpredictable summers made it difficult to enjoy outdoor life or maintain a consistent routine. The mental toll of enduring such extreme weather year after year contributed to the decision to seek a more temperate and enjoyable environment.\n\nA Need for Change\nAfter ten years of struggle, it became clear that the current conditions in Canada were not conducive to a fulfilling life. The combination of healthcare delays, skyrocketing living costs, financial stress, and unforgiving weather made me question the sacrifices I was making. Life is short, and the realization that there are other places in the world with better systems and opportunities prompted me to take action.\n\nWhile Canada has its merits, it’s important for people to reassess their priorities and make decisions that align with their well-being. For me, leaving was a step toward reclaiming my life and creating a future where I could thrive, rather than just survive.

Government should be kind and bus them to the North of Canada….\nAnyone would be better then the entitlement of the Northern Albertians \nThat for sure\nBring them North, fix Canada….

There are a lot of scammers around the world. It is in your duty to identify them and never fall as prey. It's not Canada's fault that you are getting deported for false information. Scammers are getting better every time. It is your duty to do your own research so you won't get involved into this mess. Yes Canada immigration also needs to screen the application very carefully so this type of nonsense will not come to pass. If you fall prey to scammers that is your own fault for not doing the right thing or even following the right process. You guys like it easy then Canada will make it also easy for you. DEPORTATION. I am an immigrant myself and we followed every single steps to become an offcial canadian citizen. It took me years to become a citizen. And I am not just talking about 3 or 4 years later, but 10 years later coming from a skilled worker.

It is 100% the Trudeau Government to Blame. As a born and raised, WHITE Canadian, I NEVER had an issue with Indian immigrants, of all the immigrants to Canada, they were the most respectful, and the most willing to “assimilate” to our culture. The recent influx of immigrants/migrants from India, are the most disrespectful, disgusting and violent people I have ever seen. Shitting where they want, throwing garbage everywhere, not learning English, disrespecting our wildlife, by trying to kill and eat everything, and the latest, hearing a march In Brampton where new immigrants/migrants saying “Get out British speakers, We are the real Canadians, go back to Europe”. My patience and hospitality has limits. Trudeau let this influx happen, assimilation is not possible on this massive scale. I feel sorry for those seeking a better life in Canada, but native borns are being left behind and are angry, so this is what you get. Sorry….just being honest

Proud dual citizen Canadian here. Love the country, people and culture. However, the Liberal politics of the last 9 years have been a disaster, from high inflation, uncontrolled immigration, lack of pro business investments, homelessness, housing… this is to list just a few issues. The same thing has been happening in the US and Western Europe. Thank you God for helping elect Donald Trump. Many on this forum may not like the guy, but he was before, and will be good for the country, economy, overall people of the US and indirectly Canada. The Trudeau gang must go, a monkey could do a better job governing this beautiful Canada than that moron Trudeau. Do you all remember him saying…. “ the budget will balance itself”…. WTF… Really Justin???

We fled Canada 3 years ago in search of a better life here in Mexico, is our life perfect no but it's sure better than it was. Good luck to anyone moving from their home country. ✌?❤

The level of gun violence in the US is absolutely terrifying! Canada has much less gun violence and much better gun control laws.\nDespite that however, gun violence here is on the rise, people are able to get illegal firearms here, and just where do you suppose the vast majority of those illegal firearms come from? ?

I am a Nigerian I always wanted to either move to the US or Canada because of my career (I want to be an actress) but I looked at the expenses the money I could use to go to Canada just to go into debt after 1 year I could use that Same money to Make my life better here \nI think I just want to visit other countries rather than moving there

Thanks for sharing updates on immigration policy changes happening in Canada. It is always better to know experts view as done by you Inplace of sheer no’s to know in and out of policy framework and plan for future accordingly. Great job done. Keep sharing updates. ??

Good job by canada..indian students coming here r just spreading hate and agenda of hindu govt. Better in india n follow RSS ideology to make India world power ?

bad decision you made moving to Canada quitting your airline career in Singapore! MBA = time wasted.. you better do a real bushiness for yourself

Canada better build a wall from the giant influx of Americans they're about to get

Canada is a massive country with only 40 million people, there is enough space here for immigrants that will come here legally and search for a better life. Do not forget that Canada is a free country and that all of us here are immigrants, the land belonged to native Indians.

These lowlife destinations better not be Canada ... we carry...?

Seek additional funding? Better not be from taxpayer dollars! I don't want to support this increase in asylum seekers! Canada is full!!!

No way we want any murders or child rapists and criminals in Canada . Canada better say NO

Canada must take action to send all rioters, felons, K-forces, H-brigades, illegal immigrants, fraud asylum claimants, etc, etc, back to their respective countries of origin. If done, Canada will be a better place to live.

With Trump, Canada is no safer. They better extend their move further. The Russian and Chinese ships that recently travelled the border in Alaska must have had a reason. Looking where best to build a base? Trump would no doubt welcome that. Canada has always been in Trumps cross hairs ever since Malanoma flirted with Justin. Our government officials should stop acting like toddlers and prepare the country for the worst. If they don’t work together, we are toast.

As soon as we hold elections in Canada the Conservatives will have an instant majority government. They are better suited to communicate with the Trump administration.

No. \nNo housing, health care is down to a crawl, the blatant disrespect towards Canada from immigrants. \nNo more.\nOur own goof of a PM admitted they made a bit of a mistake. He’s underplaying it. \nThat administration decided it was better to bring in countless immigrants with no plan for housing. \nNow I get 3 bags of groceries for over $200, rent is ridiculously high, water, heat, electricity, the list goes on.\n\nPeople that come from other countries also have the audacity to burn the Canadian flag and demand the government do something to help out their mother country. Want to do something for your past country? Go back there and volunteer your time or donate your money to relief organizations. Why is it the Canadian governments responsibility to help out a country before helping its own people!\nEnough is enough

Canada was a richer better place when we where 20 million.

Immigration is a privilege, not a right. Legal immigrants have earned that privilege. Genuine refugees deserve a fair chance at getting that privilege too. Illegal immigrants switching between countries pretending to be refugees don't qualify. These are the same people who went to the US illegally in the first place, then hope to come to Canada illegally when it's bad in the US, and then will return to the US illegally when things will get better there.

We shouldn’t be preparing for an influx we need to prepare to close our borders. No more asylum seekers into Canada. Our resources are for the people that pay for them not for those who come here to benefit from our better standard of living. Fix things back home and then immigrate through the proper channels. We don’t need tent cities full of asylum seekers. For those that want to let all those people in then they have to go sign up to take responsibility for them with consequences if they don’t. I would bet the lineup for that would be very short.

We better SEAL our border as the worst of them will fear President Trump and flood. Mexico or Canada, they will choose here. Think of the tax trudeau will do to support these unvetted illegal border jumpers.

???? nothing new… racist in Canada only comes up when Trump either running for election or elected… in 5 years, they will all slowly disappear. Trump is like a health potion for white people. ???? \n\nPeople of colour, just be patient, in 5 years this will be under the rug, it’s better to take note, who is racist or NOT, and make up your own judgement.

Waise b Canada will be worse in coming years. Better. I wonder still ppl want to go there. It’s a crap country

Banging my head on the keyboard…how much more insanity do we have to put up with?! Trudeau better close the borders ! If he lets these people in, he’s a traitor!! Canada is under a curse that we’ll NEVER RECOVER FROM!

SO CANADA WILL BE TAKING IN ALL THESE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THE USA???!!!! HEY LIBERAL MPS ELECTION RIGHT NOW!!! PROVE YOU WANT TO MAKE CANADA BETTER, VOTE OF NON-CONFIDENCE IS A MUST!!

Some Canadians wanting to move to the U.S because of Trudeau and Americans want to come to Canada because of Trump, not sure which one is better??

If shootings at school is not on your radar or a topic of conversation, then I suggest that you’re extremely naïve and have your head buried in the ground, sir. You’ve had so many mass shootings in the United States over the past 10 years where children have been murdered in schools. They have been cities and towns that are small, isolated communities the one recently in Uvalde, Texas. Is a good prime example. Are you not even aware what is going on in your own country. I think you better concentrate little less on what’s going on in Canada and maybe learn about your own country. Your country is a total mess maybe not in your tiny little community where you live. Have you ever travelled outside of your own county? Based on the comments that you have made, I rather doubt it.

Canada have better Gun control than United States

Canada is a big problem now for us. indians should not move to this country instead Australia which is lot more better
