second guy you talked to basically summed it up perfectly.

Quebec #1? You've got to be kidding! Great maybe if you are fluent, and I do mean fluent, in French. Otherwise you're treated like a second class citizen. As a tourist destination it is fabulous. The best food ever throughout the province. Old Quebec City by far the most beautiful in Canada and Montreal for the marvellous shopping experience. All fine for a fumbling in French tourist, but moving there and trying to get on in fractured high school French is a whole new and not so pleasant experience. I lived in the province for just under 2 years so my comments are based on that experience. After travelling the country extensively I settled in Northern Ontario to raise my family. Now retired I live in Canada's largest city Toronto and love it.

US is second worlds economy not first and they owe 70% of all Canadas corporations.

a 10 second google search could've told you that Vancouver is the homeless capital of Canada

As an Arab I would like to say, f* that!!! And help them!! To the Arab leaders of all Arab countries, but I know bc of the media and ignorance around the world, that the second they do something , even if it's just to protect and not to attack, that it's like a threat for war to the world

second largest country in the world!! no place for shelter...............If housing restrictions are reduced there will be more buildings!!

Both Liberals and Conservative governments play immigrants off. They allow Asians to enter without having any education and bringing in drug money into the country without any questions. Meanwhile have a second set of expectations for non-Asians. Asians are discriminatory against South Asians, Black, Islamic, and Indigenous and prevent them from getting jobs by working as human resource personnels. Asians act out discrimination and government at all levels remain silent.

Come to London Ontario. Second trash heap.

World's second economy was not in Japan?

It’s unfortunate that you feel this way about our city. In saying this. There is much to be done. Mostly all the red tape at city hall. And wasted tax dollars.\n\nIn a video of a city “you love”. And all of us have our faults, I presume your intention was to inform. \n\nIn a video sponsored by Better Help. And someone who has benefited for someone helping you up. Encouraging others not to come here. Just pointing out flaws. I know you mentioned for 30 seconds that we have parks. \n\nToronto is like all of us. We’re not without our flaws. Yet, sometimes pointing out what’s great (or even just good). You can make a better point for change. \n\nYou’re not wrong. You’re definitely not right.\n\n You could have been though.\nJust like me writing this comment.

First lie is Canada is not Country or Nation it is simply a trust organization established for foreign British Crown use. Second lie is canada does not serve the living people of the land it only serves policies for the foreign government of Canada and subsidiaries. Third lie is people have been living under the assumption that they are registered correctly and do not realize that they been operating under artificial enitity and not registered as domestic member of the land.? Canada was built off deception and manipulate it is nothing more then madman idealism and false social construct. Civil slavery at it's ?

Canada is in the same boat as the USA.....Immigration is to try to prop up the Liberal Gov voter rolls......Immigrants are usually beholden to those that let them in......secondly its part of the WEF agenda......create an Elite class and a servant class.....no middle class anymore.....much easier to control the masses when they are solely dependent on the Gov for everything in their lives

I remember living in Toronto in 1994 when homeless people were being found frozen under bridge's...The many in Toronto at that time were going out to provide blankets, food, clothing and toiletries. This has been coming for a long time Canada - and of course my comment will be deleted in under 5 second's.

We have military for a reason as well as a second amendment!!\nLet's use them now!!

I live in a small town in Ontario Canada about an hour North of Toronto in the last 5 years I can't even recognize the place with all the foreigners And these people are so rude throw their garbage all over the place the crime is up tenfold. I fear english will become the second language in this town soon

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.

Perfect answer. \n\nIt’s tiresome to hear “why can’t they just go to another Arab nation,” as though “Arabs” were an interchangeable monolith without their own countries and customs. Would anyone say that Belgians should all move to France because they are Europeans that speak the same language? It’s a ridiculous argument.\n\nThe second argument is “Arabs have so much land. Jews only have this little nation originally given to them by God.” 1) How is Israel using a “God” argument if they are secular? 2) How can they claim ancestry through Judaism when prior to 1948, most Jewish ancestors hadn’t set foot in Palestine for millennia, and their DNA proves that they’re not as indigenous as Palestinians. 3) Why is Israel decimating and terrorizing the Palestinians of the West Bank through brute force and illegal settlements? 4) The worst of all— How do they justify outright theft and aggression against a people who welcomed them from Europe 75 years ago?

Arghh maybe the world is going to shit because you literally can't look at anything for more than 30 seconds with it manifesting into a phkng advertisement for some stupid shit. Like really? Humans can't create a single thing without shamelessly plastering their overlords logo all over it and spending at least 1/4 of the time espousing the greatness of said overlords?\n\nSeriously phkd up.

This type of tactic is called a “soft skill”. \nDrop the second “s”.

The time might be right to buy myself a slave. On second thought I would have to house, cloth and feed a slave so maybe that's not a good idea. Maybe just hire them and pay them, let's say $5 an hour to wash my car, cut the grass or shovel the snow. That should take about an hour. What else can they do around my house? Maybe put new shingles on the roof? Should be good for at least 10 hours.

My parents immigrated to Canada from racist apartheid South Africa in 1967. \n \nAs a second-generation immigrant, all I can say is that Canada is:\nThe best country there is...\nThe best country there was...\nThe best country there will ever be!!!!\n\nWhere's your bloody loyalty in coming to this country and then deciding to leave because of economic challenges?\n\nYou're not living under a dictatorship like my parents were!

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.

Very High Inflation\nVery Low Salaries\nImmigrants treated as second class citizens\nVery very difficult to find job to match your career choices\nUsually end up working menial jobs and not getting raise\nSky high rent and living expenses\nVery high stress in jobs\nHigh rascism and non acceptance\nFeeling guilty because your peers in home country are getting way ahead in life and career and financially whereas you get stuck in this trap as a labourer made my life changing decision to move back to my home country and lead a peacefull life, my friends and peers are way ahead in life but, it is well worth it. I will catch up with them someday hopefully. To all those who are watching this video, it is not worth moving to Canada. It is a trap.

why so much time taken to hand cuff, in movies it will be like seconds

We don't have any more money for welfare and free everything, our seniors are going to food banks, if seniors are second class citizens to immigrants, I welcome them leaving

This SIkh ex politician standing for the radical muslim is a weak liberalist that will put democracy to its knees. These kind of prayer events is telling all non muslim canadians that we have conquered you we have conquered your goverment. Acording to these Islamists moral compas the Allah stated in the Quran (you should and must confirm this for your self) that all non muslims are second class citizens. This Sikh ex politician and there are probably others like him in office is telling you that he aggrees with the lies these radicals are putting out and will not protect your rights as a non muslim Canadian. Weed these politicians out of our goverment and put in someone that believes and protects in the equal rights of every Canadian

Honestly, Canada used to be heaven, but ever since Trudeau brought in all these second class people, Canada has gone to hell.

Wow, bible fullfilling, this suppose to happen before the coming of jesus, i heard about this since i was at the age of 2 that before the coming of jesus every one will make their way back to their country of birth and people will be running all over the world for refuge from poverty, only God can save us in these times we're living in because it looking like it's getting worse by the second,

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.

I think that immigrants need to understand that until immigrants are 4th gen in Canada, they are not generally fully assimilated...Canada' brings immigrants in for their kids (second gen)...but by third gen...least successful group. Immigrants need to know that our great grandparents suffered a lot for what looks attractive today...and every successful Canadian story has started with roots of immigrants suffering, including my own forefathers. There's a naive perspective that immigrants will just automatically be Canadian with equal opportunities. Not being racist...Married an immigrant, and it threw me to first gen status in the country because of my husband's status as immigrant.

Thank you for this information , I am a widow and my brother Inlaw want to falsefully want to take me as his second wife , I have been rejecting him advances and it’s a custom that I must marry him. Can I use it to seek asylum sir? Pls reply me sir… thank you very much.

Indian students coming here for second rate colleges are completely unrealistic. They don't have marketable skills yet, the language skills are very poor. It takes a lot of effort to succeed. A student visa is not the golden ticket to prosperity. \nDo your research before you come. \nMake a serious effort to speak english that can be understood. \nBe honest about your motivation. \nMy parents chose Canads. \nOnce you move here that is your home country. No one forced anyone to move here.

It's mainly the housing crisis. However, there are over 90 skycrappers being built right now in Toronto which will make it second to only NYC in skyscrappers a decade from now. With less demand to immigrate and a construction boom like never before, it should stabilize eventually.

You don't give a s*** about second and third generation syrians and Iraqis posing as Palestinians.

Who would even love to stay in a second terrorist hubs ??

It's pretty silly that the country with the second largest land doesn't have enough

Canada is second India.

I have lived in UK, Australia, US and Canada. I spent 2 years in UK, 1 year in Australia then moved to US for my masters where I also worked for 6 years. So total of 8 years in US, I moved to India and had adjustment issues. Then 1.5 year later I moved to Canada as permanent resident. After 2 years, I ended up leaving Canada back to India. Some people suggested wait for another 13 months and return with Canadian citizenship but I had enough. What I have realized is, for tech/scientific roles, Canada or other countries are no match for the US. \nAlso, Americans are much kinder and open than people in Canada/UK/Australia. All these countries are expensive, quality of work and pay is not good. I was getting 150K CAD in Canada, where I pay 2100 CAD as 1 BHK rent. In India, I make 90K CAD and 2 BHK rent is 400 CAD. To me, America has no replacement, that's why people dont want to leave the US. I was not willing to spend whole life waiting for green card, and other countries are no match for US. That's why came back to India fro second time, despite the issues here.

WEF Trudeau locking protestors out of their own bank accounts to enforce his draconian laws probably didn’t help. He also ran away like a coward and hid in a second home.

If half my paycheque goes to Housing cost, how can one grow? We are stagnant now. Too many red tapes and government ( all level) bureaucracies limiting growth. There are food Inflation but we can’t produce more food because of a quota system. Second largest country in the world but we wait 10 years to buy a tiny house. ??‍♂️

Its twisted partial so called fact. These indian are those who comes on fake document. Look! He can't express himself in english & he came here as student. Its all about indian propaganda. Because there are getting caught everywhere. Pakistanies are for Canada & Canada is Pakistanies second home!

Well done aunty Seyi. Please, I need an urgent help. I made 2 major errors in my application. I said I was going to spend 2 weeks but I booked airbnb for 8 days. I did not even upload the evidence of the airbnb but I stated it in my explanation letter. The second thing is, when I wanted to pay, it only asked me for the payment for the principal applicant. I do not know how this will affect me. Please what can I do? I just submitted the application yesterday.

Perhaps I will not name the most popular destination for relocation, but I suggest coming to Russia, there are many positive reasons for this (I take Moscow as an example):\n1) Affordable housing with reasonable prices. The price for a one-room apartment in Moscow, for an apartment with a good renovation will cost you about $500 Plus utility bills with the Internet will be 50%. (The most surprising thing for foreigners is that in winter you can wear a T-shirt and shorts in apartments, and sometimes it will be hot), my cost of heating in a three-room apartment is $35 per month for 95 sq.m.\nDo you want a house? Please! House 435 sq.m. 3 floors for $100,000.\nAre you a young family? Get a preferential mortgage. Got a baby? Get money! A second one appeared. Get even more! Third child? Children's camps, travel card, free school meals, as well as a lot of benefits.\n2) Developed infrastructure, accessible public transport ($30 pass for all types of transport in Moscow and the nearest Moscow region), unlimited travel pass. 783 parks in Moscow, numerous shopping centers, countless child development centers; in winter you can ski and snowboard in these same parks. In general, you will definitely find something to keep yourself busy.\n3) Affordable medicine. Russian citizenship can be obtained after 5 years of permanent residence, BUT foreign citizens have the right to obtain a medical policy for themselves after obtaining a residence permit. The price comes out to be approximately 30-60%, depending on what risk group you are in. After obtaining citizenship, all medicine is free, seriously, a foreigner I know from Australia asked me about this: “What do you mean it’s free?” All this is included in taxes, and the cost is peanuts compared to yours. The level of medicine is high, this is a separate topic for discussion, I don’t know why, but our medical centers are compared with India, this is not so. The current clinics look like Cyberpunk 2077, seriously. In the regions, unfortunately, it is completely different. In December 2023, I was hospitalized with double pneumonia, and I didn’t pay a single ruble for treatment.\n4) Security. You can calmly walk around Moscow at night and not be afraid of anything. There are cameras everywhere in Moscow, on shops, on poles, and video recorders on cars. Everyone knows perfectly well that if you commit a crime in Moscow, you will be punished, and no one in their right mind needs this. Here I advise you to look at the channels of your fellow countrymen. Banditry is an echo of the past, in the 90s people survived as best they could, then the ruble depreciated and everyone fought for food as best they could, now the situation is different.\n5) Racism. I won’t rant, here you should also watch the video of your fellow countrymen who live in Russia, not those who accuse us of racism while living in their country and who have never visited us, but those who live. If you feel other people’s eyes on you because of your dark skin color, excuse me, it’s out of interest, well, there are few of us like that. On a personal note, no one cares what color you are, as long as you are a person who lives within the law as a peaceful citizen. If you act like an asshole, behave inappropriately, use insulting words towards other people, you will feel it quickly. In general, if you are a good person, you can forget about this word.\n6) If you receive a residence permit, education for your children is free. Our state generally cares excessively about children. And I still remembered! Summer holidays for children are 3 months, so where should they go? Summer camp, give mom and dad a break from your nasty whims))\nIf you want to send them to the Black Sea, if you want to send them to Altai to a health center, you can send them to a city camp (They brought the child in the morning and took them away in the evening). Previously, I was constantly sent to the black sea on a permit that was given to my father at work (Shipyard). Now this is only possible in special cases.\n\n7) Vacations. You are required to go on paid leave for 28 days a year. 12 public holidays.\n\n8) Sexual minorities. Having seen enough of cancel culture, where the minority opinion became higher than the majority opinion, these communities were cancelled. When people are openly threatened for their opinions on gender. Fire teachers for using the wrong pronoun. Where pedophiles try to legitimize themselves. We are not on the same path with this.\n\nNow there is an acute shortage of IT specialists, maybe this will be interesting for them.\nFarmers like to settle here; 100 hectares of land can be bought for $16,000. Compared to Europe at $5000-6000 per acre. A well-known foreign representative is Justus Walker if anyone is interested.\nIn general, Russia is open to new citizens of the country, the state gives everything to create a unit of society, on your part you just need to be a law-abiding citizen and live a quiet life. We have problems in the country, they are the same as in any other, but nowhere will there be freedom to implement your plans as in Russia.\n\nAll the best!

Please give lifetime ban on such people. Let them travel in second class trains

Why ppl go to other country like Canada and Australia etc. because we have rampant corruption in our country, secondly, Reservation, unemployment,hunger,garibi,political interference,lack of good school,hospital, increasing population, lack of essential facility,illiteracy,even ppl have to pay bribe for nursery school admission and that is from 6 to 10 lack in big cities like Delhi corrupt police and corrupt system and delayed justice delivery system and many more other problem which ppl of our country are facing daily and that is why ppl are proceeding aboard for study and for job.if I am not wrong as my son is in Montreal in Canada and my daughter is in USA, Texas living happily. Dhanyabad.

I guess we did a right move. During the cold war we moved to Canada in Jan 1990 from former Czechoslovakia after spending almost 2 years in Austria to enjoy freedom. I remember renting a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 balconies in Brampton /ON for 360/M. In Mississauga 600/M for a 5 bedroom townhouse. Later on in Orangeville/ON I bought a fully detached house with a nice land with own swings and slides a swimming pool for 144 000.00. When the non stupidity in law started in 2002 we sold our house packed our things and went back to Europe. I always loved Canada as my second home but I guess the table has turned and we cherish freedom elsewhere. I am really sad about what's going on with Canada but it isn't really that hard to figure out why.

Who gets paid..? A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS.... Lets say you have 500k spaces for international students...each space is worth..hmmm 10k NOW this government is saying that they are capping the number of international students...these international students MIGHT GET INTO A BIDING WAR over those 500k available spaces.... SECOND thought....So, you have a cap on say 500k international students...MY PREDICTION...trudoo's government will RE-BRAND OR RE-DEFINE those individuals in excess of that 500k cap. FOR AN EXAMPLE...lets call them fugitives, extremists, asylum seekers, refugees...etc WHY WOULD YOU TRUST THAT THIS GOVERNMENT IS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH... SOMETHING REALLY STINKY ABOUT THIS PLAN OF TRUDOO'S....

Weldone ma...I like how detailed your video is. God bless you. \nMy questions are\nWhat is PNP and everything about it. Secondly, I read somewhere that as a pharmacist I'm supposed to evaluate my result using pharmacist evaluation board in Canada I.e PEBC and not WES. How true is it and what are the advantages and disadvantages. \nThirdly, I did my CRS and I got 563, compared to others I'm seeing around, mine is looking outrageous. Though I used married, coz my wedding is scheduled for soon.

I don't believe there are additional taxes on most grocery items. You show salmon at 50 seconds in while you are talking about additional taxes. This is misleading.

Canadian Geography. Canada is the second-biggest country on earth, yet over 80 per cent of its land is uninhabited. Perhaps these intl students can stay and regenerate new areas
