This video appears to be a fabricated story by realtors and landlords aimed at creating a case for imposing stricter rental restrictions

If politicians continue to attend annual secret meetings with elites, will every country eventually be forced into third world status? By lowering the standards of first world countries to third world status, it will be easier to fold every country into a one world system. People who are desperate and dependent on the state cannot resist tyranny. \n\nShould politicians continue to be allowed to attend annual secret meetings where no note taking and no videos are allowed?

This video is so sad! I wish you much luck in your new life. It sounds like we are losing a stellar citizen! I am 71 and must stay put. Unfortunately I cannot say any more because I have discovered I am now living in Orwell’s 1984 ???

Over 9 minutes in, and you haven't said if or where you have moved. I am moving myself to another video.

I know a couple from Vancouver who moved to Cancun Mexico they live in an apartment building next to a five star resort, their cost of living is like 80% less than it was in Vancouver and they have better weather too. They both work as video game streamers. They didn't make enough money to live in Canada off of streaming only but now they can do it in Mexico and save some money too

Based on your past videos : Japan or Thailand ?

Hi Alina, yes I think most people must been kept in so much suspense and perhaps many like me must have move forward hoping the answer is there somewhere towards the end of your video. I perfectly understand what you say about Canada. I think it is largely due to really poor and incompetent leadership and to some extent, a lack of independence to do what is best for Canada instead of another country. Whichever country you choose, I wish you all the very best for a happy and more fulfilled future. I think you are moving to New Zealand although we would love to have someone like you in our country China. Catch you in the next.

Alina my friend thank you for the video on your update what your future plans are. I hope you will go to a place that you will love and enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing where you land. Glad that you have decided it's time to leave where it is not too costly.

I guess it's Bangkok, as I remember you saying it could be an long term city in one of your video's a few months ago as you left Thailand. Where ever you go to, I'm looking forward to it and wish you all the best!

Germany created their own problem in their flawed, points-based model of their government pension system. It is like we are paying backwards, where our money earned right now is taken away from us to pay for the pensions of retired people who earned those rights to a government pension years or decades ago during their working lives. We are then given points, with the hope that the next generations one day pay for our own pensions. See the problem?\n\nInstead, people’s hard earned monthly payments towards pension could have instead have been invested for them into actively-managed portfolios of bonds, equities and commodities. Thereby, each and every person currently on pension could have enjoyed the benefits of decades of compounding growth!\n\nNow we are here, as the video says, 2 workers are needed to cover the pension of 1 retired person. This is absolutely absurd and they will never be able to attract 400,000 new skilled workers every year with the current issues highlighted in this video.\n\nMy best advice - when you are working in Germany, seriously think about it to save and invest a portion of your net income and prepare yourself for a future where you cannot solely rely on your German pension!

I love how your channel allow discussions in the comments, unlike CBC that would 100% disable comments on every single video related to immigration policies.

there is native american laughing watching the video

I was not interested in Germany before the video because I don't think or get the vibe Germany is welcoming or at the very least, their sense of humour is too different for me to cope with but after watching the video, the answer is the same, not interested. Because it seems like high command in the german language from the get go is expected and tax is high and rent is unaffordable.

Great to see vice making another unbiased video.

What a Stupid video these people are not poor at all and I don’t have any sympathy for these people \nThey are going to another country like it’s nothing wtf it is no one’s responsibility to take care of them period . They are illegals thts it

My fellow non-Germans….Don’t make the mistake of coming to Germany right now. The country will sooner or later have a crisis due to its politics and their companies falling behind in competitiveness due to incompetence and arrogance. Instead of blaming themselves, they will blame immigrants, including you. Also, if you are a qualified foreigner, you will have to come to terms with being a second class resident, watching how natives enjoy their life and expect you to do their work. Only “luxury jobs” with a strong union like IG Metall will ensure you a fair treatment. But most of these jobs are occupied by 55+ yo people that are waiting for retirement without innovating or contributing absolutely nothing to their company. \nThe woman in the video is happy because she married a local (for love of course). With her low salary as a nurse she would be absolutely miserable and lonely. The Indian guy has a family, and well, he comes from India.

Not the point of the video, but why are apartments measured in square feet in Canada?

Wonderful video.

The content and the title of the video do not align. ???

I can't believe all the nonsense that was said on this video! Of course you have to learn the language, if you want to work in Germany!!! Has any of you tried to immigrate to Canada or the US? Nobody is going to give you a job, unless you can communicate in the local language! That is the same all over the world! European union countries have all got good social services and health systems. You want to benefit from the system? Then you of course have to be able to communicate! \nThe process is the same everywhere you go. The first generation of immigrants fight to learn the language and integrate, BUT their kids will get that for free and be integrated through the school system.

It is a monthly ritual to post 1 video about needing skilled immigrants

The video clip of air hostesses is not from Pakistan but from India which has better employees and they don't do such things?

VICE, much if not all of this is an old video if I’m not mistaken.

Was there ever any verification of this story or anything she said? The answer is no. Because if there was; many half-truths, discrepancies and misrepresentations would have been discovered in her story. Hearing a story and not getting verification of the facts is just lazy and poor journalism. This video actually contributes to the problem of racism and prejudice. Because it's extremely inaccurate and a misrepresentation of real facts. And presenting it like this without verification just fuels the flames of racism. Just reposting a video you find on Tik Tok with a hidden agenda is not journalism.\n\n You should be ashamed calling yourself a journalist.

I saw the video headline and it looked interesting. However, as soon as I saw it was the guardian, I knew we weren't going to get a honest telling of the opposition side. The video turns into a puff piece for the Trudeau's naive beliefs on diversity.

7:50 scapegoating? Is that what we're calling the truth these days? NO. This is called math. If this whole video is created to gaslight Canadians, I just want to tell you that most Canadians are way past that point. Anyway, I've already decided to leave Canada. Just like the reporter of this video, who lives in the states and who doesn't take part in any of the problems of Canada. Enjoy your life in the US when you leave tomorrow.

The CLOWN then put the video up on the internet himself???

Amusingly this video auto played right after the UK one, exact same problem.

If anything this video convinced me of never trying to start investing in real estate. \nNot that the insane housing prices helped either ?

This is an old video.

Very deceptive formatting of this video. Starts with the harsh reality that jobs and housing are TERRIBLE for people who have just migrated to canada, but then end it with clips of already rich immigrants who paid their way to the front of the line.

I don't know how to say it but I hear an Indian i instantly remember karl ROc's videos and feel dizzy. Indian people are another level

Did you see the video of the police cowering in the mall from immigrants?

This video brought to you by Klaus Schwab and the WEF

This gotta be a joke. Not one statistic to base anything said in this video. A quick google search reveals the housing crisis is made by canadians themselves bc of laws allowing ppl to own many properties to flip. I wonder what else guardian is reporting as facts

Hello Lilian! This video is awesome and so detailed, thank you. \nPlease Is the New Brunswick Critical Work Program still active in 2024?

Your video is long and complicated!!!!

Bhai kaash aap ye video 1 saal pehle upload kiye hote?

It's not failing' what's failing us and most western nations is Neoliberalism.\n\nYouTube sources: Michael Hudson (on housing and also neoliberalism). Also many YouTube videos available explaining what Neoliberalism is, and its affect on societies.

very misleading title for the video

This is an old video, and what you don’t see it that they did not crossed into the US. They had to go back down the bridge to Juarez..

Thanks for care and concern you are showing by making video. It's advisable for me to use the British cv

Why did you say at the very beginning of this video that immigrants are allowed into Canada on a anal basis. What do butts have to do with immigration ??

Justin T is buying Hotel for refugges.Shame\nNever vote NDP & Liberals \nPlease make video LIMA Scam\nLIMA on sale 35k to 45k

Crazy that 'The Guardian' had the balls to make this video and not the cowards at CBC.

This video is a joke

So Canada is ok with Chinese talking in their language, Africans talking in their language but have an issue with Indians talking in their language? That’s extremely hypocritical. Calling yourself a diverse country means you're accepting all cultures, not just what you like. Extremely hypocritical video in my opinion.

Laws in Canada benefit the Criminals. You can commit fraud and stuff like this shown in the Video and get away with it. You can also commit more serious crimes like removing someone from this earth and the laws here will benefit these people as well. Take Nova Scotia for example, A person in my area took a life over 50 dollars, this person was than released 2 years later and was then involved in another crime which was taking a life. \n\nThis is the System in Canada.

Canadians are not against immigration they are against miss-management by the corrupt Liberal/NDP government. This video is misleading in its investigation. Neither clearly shows what the cause is and ignores the illegal immigration that was encouraged by the Liberal government in the first place and doesn't propose a common sense solution to it.

This video is old now they will be going back once trump b come president
