Come to Montreal, it’s nothing like Edmonton.

Hey, did you know people use to say that about Edmonton over 100 years ago, except it was Ukrainians they were talking about.

Why would anyone want to live in Edmonton. Jeeze!

I live in Edmonton it's gonna happen more

My husband and I want to move to Edmonton. We currently live in Arizona in the US. I’m an educator (specializing in early childhood and special education). What is the likely hood that we’d get accepted with the updated your government has made?

Ngl as someone from ontario i would put ontario and alberta in 7 and 6 because the crime in both provinces are bad like thunder bay and edmonton for example like two of the most dangerous cities in canada

Calgary and Edmonton have a lot of durka durkas that need to leave.

Recently drove through Edmonton and am shocked there is anyone left in India or Pakistan.

I lived in a town called Salmon Arm in B.C for only 3 months with my girlfriend.\nBasement studio: $1200\nAverage weekly grocery run: $250-$300\nInternet: $120\nGas price: $1.83/L\nNot to mention the two taxes we paid on everything.\nBy the end of the month we were just barely surviving. \nWe moved back to Edmonton in my parent’s basement because we have no other choice right now. \n\nThere is nothing more humiliating then going out into the world and being forced to go backwards because the price for everything is ridiculous.

im thinking moving to calgary edmonton sask or van as a us citizen , I don't know which city easy to get any job that can sponsor me visa asap

Edmonton Alberta Canada

What's wrong with Edmonton?

How about this one I'm dual citizen Polish and Canadian long time loong time :) and I have polish passport that's needed and Canadian Polish one I just pay few bucks and I get it no signatures of acquaintances like in Canada. This year I'm not getting Candian renewed cause I have Polish Passport that let's me just like Canadian passport with a bit differnet rules as of EU it's much more and allows. if I don't have Candian passport but I fly in on Polish and I'm a Citizen of Canada as well, do I really need Candian Passport to fly into Canada and stay as long as I want yes I can but is it really needed well will I have problems or just a few minutes when I land in Van or Toronto or Edmonton or Calgary. should I need one. No I don't since I am a citizen of Canada and its in Candian computer all info at the border. will they place me in jail at the border caus ei a citizen of Canada with out Candian Passport flying in on Polish which allows travelling as for vacation 6 months in Canada. let me know Canada officials. I don't officially have aquantances that I have known for 2 years to get signatures for various reasons since I have been out of country of Canada. Am I illegal imigrant then as a official Candian Citizen. Hmmmm I'm a little confused with signatures that Canada needs to refresh my Canadian Passport. if I don't techncally know anyone fro 2 years I'm not allowed to acquire a Candian Passport even if I lived for a very loong time but now things changed up a bit and. I'm coming in as an illegal Candian Citizen, ehhhh it's only year 2024 and can't wait for earth passports.

When demand meets supply: Universities in Canada need foreign students because they pay way more in tuition, accommodation, and other fees. Students from third world countries see it as a pathway for a Canadian passport before trying their luck south of the border. The solution is the amalgamation of universities in the large metropolitan areas. Why does Edmonton need three universities?

Well I can't speak for other provinces \nBut pertaining to Schools particularly Edmonton specific school here are some Issues\n- The parents play can't speak English!!!\n( thought immigrants had to speak some form)\n- What about Indian families registering there kids when they don't live in area of registration\n- Having there kids fr Grade 1 to Grade 6 start school to only Pull them out because there going back to visit there country\n( Un Announced )..\nHow does that kid or kids get Education. \n- Very All over map as patents responsibility, late pick ups, living in crammed houses, from some Indian Slum Lord like what's Happening in Brampton that CBC news don't want yiu to hear !!!.\n- Most parents of Indian are VERY RUDE,\n( Youre in Our Country Not India, old saying is Kids raised as parents are, so right there is no need to have them hear).\n- They can't pay school fee's even though they somehow drive above Average $$ vehicles.\nIn my mind\nShut Down All Immigration, we can't take Anymorevinto Canada we are Overwhelmed!!!.\n- Let's talk about Idia Truckers Lol\nThat's a whole new Topic\nGet Rid Of Them \nShut there Trucking Buisness Down 100%.\nI've personally seen to semi trucks parked inline near 156\nAs I'm driving by the Owner Operators move to side as if talking Only to see # 2 Big Oil Patches under there Engines\nBecause this Dirty People Drop there Engine oil on Pavement!!!!\nSome are probably good\nBut Most should not be here, that goes with Other Ethnics also\nThey All Do Not Respect this Country \nLooks whats happening in UK\nJust Search\nUK immigrant Problems\nEspecially with\nPeople fr Middle East

In the part of Edmonton live in l rarely see an other white person at the doctor office, lab hospital etc !!!’

I seen some Indians push my mother in law out of the way in Edmonton then they walked into me I pushed them out of the way, they looked at me like the foreigner lmfao

I agree with you. Canada is not like the place I used to know. Went to Edmonton recently....it was homeless people everywhere in downtown and Chinatown. My bet you are moving to Portugal.

Canada isnt the same anymore, its like we are in India. Even the mayors of edmonton and calgary are indians too. Damn

In Edmonton, it is very easy to get a family doctor if you said Canada, it's not good, then the problem is yourself.

I am in edmonton, local canadians are getting sick of us and ignoring indians like we are some cockroach. Really disheartening to see this?

I left and taught English in Korea and Taiwan for 7 years in 2000 when their were no jobs . And it was hard to get ahead. However, I totally hear your concerns . Things are out of control. Enjoy your experience ! I’m in Edmonton, now. I totally get you !

Smart lady \nNicely done video \nI am happy I met and rescued my wife & her two daughters from Edmonton and moved them to FL\n\n..\n\nCanada used to be good like California many decades agi

you right in edmonton too every thing changed

I’m an American who spends time in Canada doing cyber engineering work in Alberta.. I’d estimate Edmonton is 70% Indian immigrants. \n90% in the engineering fields.

Hey! I live in Edmonton Alberta Canada,population around 1.2 million. We have a huge awesome river and river valley that is utilized year round. There are non stop festivals, right now we have the Cari West the largest Caribbean festival in western Canada. Our tap water is amazing, my daughter rents the main floor of a renovated house that includes a garage for 1,400 a month. Gorgeous south side neighbourhood within walking distance to anything. Lots of imperfections as it is a big city and yes there is crime but it does not define what I do and where I go except possibly late at night. The cold in the winter is tolerable for the most part but that doesn’t stop any one from outdoor activities. Just put your warm clothes on and just get out there. I get fed up with winter when it drags on but all of a sudden we’ve been having record breaking heat this summer so I am looking forward to Autumn. We’re 4 hours from the fabulous Rocky Mountains and the wonderful city of Calgary is about an hour 1/2 from there. Alberta is my province and Edmonton is my home. The rest of Canada varies from one province to another. PS. We’ve travelled to various locations in the U.S. and were always treated well and enjoyed our visits, just sayin!

I could be wrong but perhaps making arrivals spread out in other cities like calgary edmonton and the likes could ease up pressure on Toronto & Vancouver.

i dont understand, when im late on my rent i get an eviction notice dated for a certain day, if that day comes they show up with police and move me out? why is it so different in toronto, im only in edmonton canada.

I landed in Edmonton 2003 as a immigrant and it was a such nice country back then, rental price is very reasonable. Since Justin became premier, everything got worse, high inflation and less job makes Canada no more a affordable country for Canadians. So it is time to change

I don't know but yesterday I went for a drive in Edmonton and did not see a single person on the street who did not have a beard, turban or a sari.

Each province should have a cabinet level minister for immigration, and the federal minister must be made to consult each province. Government is best the closer it is to the governed. Ottawa cannot do what Victoria, Edmonton, Regina, etc etc should do.

realize government has done **nothing** just talk and the talk is just about temporary's, East Indian's don't integrate they consume neighborhoods until those originally there depart ( see Brampton Ont Ghetto ) - building little India's with populations now in the millions, they are slowly voting in their own governments (+20% of BC provincial are born in India) others like NDP Singh also rely on chosen ridings with high Immigrant #'s nepotism voting - Mills Woods Edmonton another example and many other examples in mid government - Canada needs to protect our heritage by limiting this type of non integrating groups with this behavior from Immigrating at all not jus temporaries else we will be eventually be ousted in our own country at the ballot box becoming a colony of India.

Yes, Canada has affordability crisis. However, author conveniently mentions ONLY Toronto and Vancouver, which are insanely expensive. Rental/housing prices are much better in Montreal, Edmonton, Winnipeg. I know that moving to those places is not that attractive, but still..

Been everywhere in Canada and can say for certain, best tap water we have is in Chilliwack, BC! Second place for me would be Edmonton then i’d add in Montreal as a third place.

$1500 rent in Edmonton? Maybe 10 years ago. It’s now $2500 to $3000.

quebec is not the best province unless you only speak french. it used to be, about 50 years ago. but they heve destroyed the english community and along with it, the province with their draconian language laws. i have been descriminated against, by the police, government agencies, some store workers and french citizens (who tell me to go back where i came from) here in quebec. montreal used to be canadas largest and best city but now it has fallen to 2nd place and rapidly approaching 3rd. toronto has surpassed it, vancouver is quickly catching up, and calgary, edmonton, halifax are all growing but montreal has stagnated. i know, ive lived here all my life. there is nobody left who i grew up with. friends and family have all moved on to better places. and none of them regret it. i have been to vancouver, calgary, new brunsdwick, nova scotia and P.E.I., and i believe all of them are better than living in quebec. there is a reason why rents are cheaper in montreal, but it is catching up to the rest of the country. and there is a large homeless community. i would put quebec at 8th or 9th. and B.C. number 1 with P.E.I. 2nd.

I live in Edmonton. It’s worst here as we’ve the central jail and it’s not the same than 5 years ago but bit better than Toronto & Vancouver.

i just came back from visiting edmonton ?? and as an american i agree ?

To be honest these are not canada problems. These are Ontario n bc problems. I live in Edmonton. U can get a house for 3-4 lakhs. Hospital waiting time is 3-5 hours n medical imaging appointment u can get in 5 6 days. It's not so bad here. But ya drugs are major problem in every city

Dont bother coming to Edmonton theres 1% vacancy now ..GO BACK HOME

I am in Edmonton,canada. Please do not come if you are from middle-class family. Lots of sit going on right now. if you dont wanna believe me you are most welcome here.

Canada is awsome place to live edmonton is nice its a trick when people complain about the cold because its sunny here 260 days a year, like everyday its sunny and you can get a big home for decent price and theres lots of cool people, theres no pst so groceries are cheaper and shopping is amazing lots of big stores

As a white Canadian who loves living in Canada because of how MY friends respect and invite all people of all colours in our lives - it breaks my heart to hear this.\nHER WARNING IS NO SURPRISE... I WOULDN'T EVEN WANT TO GO TO EDMONTON OR CALGARY (ALBERTA)... I consider it the Texas of Canada / very conservative in nature... like American Republicans. IF you want to live anywhere in Canada - be sure to land in provinces that are either Liberal and/or NDP in political attitude.\nI feel so bad for her and others - I hate this crap... and it has escalated since the Trump took the Presidency in 2016. \nAlberta is very much the closest thing to a American state that I hate to admit.\nPLEASE REMEMBER: there are sooo many of us that welcome you - Canada is full of every ethnicity and religion... but Edmonton, man - pick Ontario or Quebec. COSMOPOLITAN AND PROGRESSIVE.\nI would never want to live alongside Albertan Cowboys (sorry, Alberta - but relatively speaking...you must admit this is the case more-so than anywhere else in the TRUE NORTH)
