Hi Ma'am \nI am very Thankful for your videos kindly help me which company is officially offering the jobs either by direct Canadian employers or Genuine agents

Thanks guys for making this video. Born and raised Canadian and I totally agree. I have felt an improved quality of life living in other countries. I love the diversity of Canada, the weather is not great. It can be very boring but a safe place. You just have to know what its really like here and make it work for you. If you are a refugee its a great place. If not, you do have to work hard, pay alot of tax, so its not all that easy living here. To each his own. Do what is best for you.

Didn't there are black Canadians..thanks for such a discussion.

My wife moved here 25 years ago luckily she is a European trained musician, all her credentials were recognized and she is still teaching music here in Alberta. \nAt first she was very homesick understandably but.luckily we were able to move her aging parents here 16 years ago. They got treated like royalty by the Canadian Government compared to my Canadian born parents showered with benefits even though they never worked in Canada one day. I know this is no.longer the case for new.immigrants but on the whole Canada has one of the most generous immigration policies on the planet.\nI feel for new.immigrants it's a very rough transition to make but after 200 plus years in Canada I thank my ancestors for taking a huge risk in coming here every day.

I'm sorry but if you have to settle for a survival job for 1 year or 2, then the job market is bad. I have all of the sympathy in the world for the immigrants who leave. I myself had to leave Canada to move to France to find regular work as a land surveyor. And I'm Canadian! I find it 1000 times easier to find work in France, thanks to the numerous construction projects.

Hi Jason thanks for the Video however can you provide detailed step by step process video for creating express entry profile/ submission of express entry profile in Canadian government website.

As a Canadian this was great!!! Thanks for the laugh. ?

It's my second year in Canada (Toronto) and I am yet to experience the niceness that Canadians are so known for. I hope it's just a Toronto thing! I miss the basic courtesy... Sorry, thank you, smiles.

Thank you so much for making a Canadian one of these ??\nI feel so represented

As a very proud Canadian, you did an amazing job!!! Had me laughing so hard!! Thank you for that!

I am Canadian. I loved this! Thanks so much guys.

As a Canadian I am constantly informing people about which celebrities are Canadian ? thank you FAH for another great sketch! ???❤️

The Canadian accent is ??????Also couple things to ask, would you mind telling La Bullshat thanks for the video he did for me on Saturday? I really appreciate it! ?

The best video covering all the major point and information about canadian provinces. Thanks

This is an amazing thoughtful video. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs explains so much of what people go through despite knowing all that could go wrong. I have a cousin who was in a small government job in Pakistan and got Canadian immigration. He kept delaying his move and eventually never moved to Canada because he realized how hard it will be to start all over again. Now he is so thank full that he never made the move. His case proves the proverb that one in hand is better than ten in the bush.

Hello, I am Canadian who lives overseas. I am returning back to Canada in the next few months.\nDo you know a recruiting agency for HVAC in Ottawa. I have more than 30 years experience in HVAC. Thanks

Love my country and all provinces are great as compared to the world outside of Canada ??. The rankings are not an exact science but the info given is fairly accurate. Having Alberta ranked ahead of BC is the only issue I would have. Alberta’s complete shit show dealing with COVID and other social issues would leave it way behind BC in terms of what average Canadians opinion of each province would be. I have lived in Ontario, BC, and am thankful to be Canadian !

Thank you for the informative videos.\nI have a query and would like to know your expert opinion. Im 30 years old and a Human Resources professional how do you suggest i should apply for Canadian PR. I have completed my WES and IELts.

Thanks a lot sisters. your complaints are very true. God Bless You Both. Better try to Migrate any other country where jobs and culture and freedom many more available. Canada for Canadians only .\nI was planning to move Canada this year. But this video really helps me a lot.\n I Cancelled all migrate process.\nThanks for giving true information.

Hi Jason, thanks for the info! How can make sure if we need a certficiate of qualification from a Canadian province for our occupation?

Canada is what you make of it. You can arrive rich and end up poor and you can arrive poor and end up rich. In between that, you can have a great life that balances your needs. I’ve seen immigrants succeed simply because they see the opportunity in front of them . They worked hard in their own counties to stay just above the poverty line ,but when they apply that same effort here it pays off ten times greater. I feel that compared to a lot of immigrants, natural born Canadians come across as spoiled and a little lazy…we are. We haven’t had to struggle the same way someone from a poorer country might have. I’ve talked to people who’ve worked ten to twelve hours a day just to stay afloat. If you did that here you could make plenty of money to live and have some left over. As far as owning a house goes,yes it’s expensive . I feel that homeownership in any country is relatively expensive. Here is a tip; use that soaring home prices to your advantage. Houses are expensive but you can make a lot of money buying and selling. I recommend putting together a buyers group and share the house for a few years, then sell at a profit, buy a bigger house or two smaller houses.try to buy the worst house in the best neighbourhood and fix it up slowly . That house could double in value in five or six years in the Toronto market. This is nothing new of course ,the people from India and China seem to do this a lot here ,it drives up prices and profits. On the downside to this ,you are now part of the problem. As the housing prices are driven up the non wealthy can no longer afford to own a house . They are at the mercy of high rents with no rewards of ownership. They are caught in a cycle of hard work and (relative)poverty. This could also be you if you can’t keep up the house payments and are forced to rent.\nHow well you speak English is important but your native language is also useful here because Canada is half immigrants . As a Canadian that speaks only english (Irish descent)I have to say to all newcomers that I’m very impressed that you have learned a new language and that you may even speak more than two! Don’t be embarrassed about your abilities . I find that in my experience , Canadians do not look down on people just because they don’t know English. In fact ,I’ve known people that have lived here for decades and still know very little English. They are comfortable in their communities and they function just fine. Learn as much English as suits your needs and be proud of any gains you make.\nOutside of Toronto are other cities that you might consider when looking at southern Ontario.From my experience,most are generally the same, just not as big . There are large immigrant communities in London Ontario, Hamilton and just outside of Toronto where housing is just a little bit less expensive but the commute to work is probably longer. This is just my opinion but in the small towns there are less people of colour , (which is what people of no colour call everyone else . I wonder if I’m called a person of no colour in some other culture ? LoL ). That might make it harder for you to feel integrated ,if that’s what you want. I’m not saying that people from other cultures can’t make it in a small town , I’m just saying that it’s definitely not Toronto . Here, people of any nationality can feel like they have a place where they can belong . It seems that no matter where you are from ,there is a community already here that’s set up restaurants and stores and clothing shops and newcomer support systems. And if your from Portugal or China or India or Africa or the Middle East, there are large groups of your kin here that have established roots for generations and you probably know this already.\nToronto means meeting place and that becomes evident quickly. I was born here and it’s one of the things I love the most about my city. I’m not going to say that there isn’t systemic racism here ,the people of no colour still kind of keep the top position , but as we become a minority in a decade or so ,I hope that will shift to a broader spectrum. It’s certainly happening already. One good thing is that the police department tries to hire people of colour so that racialism may play a smaller role. We’re getting used to seeing our politicians more and more reflect their constituents.\nI have to talk about the weather. Because I’m from here I’m used to the extremes of minus thirty and plus thirty . Eventually you get used to it (somewhat). Dressing in the right clothes is important. Summer is easy , but winter is different. It’s trying to kill you. Spend the most that you can afford on winter cloths . If you can afford a quality parka you should get one. The hood can be drawn around the face and stay out of the wind.\nIf not ,think of layers with a outer layer that blocks the wind. We have things called long Johns that are basically full length thick cotton or nylon pants that go on under your pants and a pair of extra thick socks. Buy your boots to fit your thick socks. Try to get the best boots you can afford ,it’s something that you might spend a little extra for but never regret.\nAll in all we are a fairly organized and peaceful society. Most people are friendly and will give you a chance . We have a good social safety net here and you don’t have to be homeless or starving if you don’t want to. There are people and organizations set up to help ,that truly try to get people back on their feet. It’s a good investment that pays off in ways that matter for the quality of life in a big city. I’m not putting my American neighbours down when I say they do things differently. They have their ways ,we have ours. This is just something that we do because we’re trying to learn how to help those that society has discarded or can’t find their place. Sure we have one or two areas where the homeless have pitched tents and we have some resources for them if they want. Unfortunately The mayor recently forced a small camp to move from a very visible place to more scattered locations. There were social workers involved as well as protesters trying to protect them. I didn’t like that happening and I want to see even more resources dedicated to them ,but on the other hand ,we are trying to avoid something like what happens on the streets when it’s just ignored. When I see YouTube videos of the streets of Philadelphia I’m extremely saddened. I thank the lucky stars that I was born in Toronto Canada.\nFor all it’s pollution and expense and crowds ,I think it’s a great place to do almost anything your heart desires . For every ugly building there is a beautiful park ,for every honked horn there is a birds call , for every cold and dark day there is beautiful sunny one around the corner.

Sorry to say Canada is a place for youth who can start from scratch n best for refugees, instead getting professionals with experience to start over from scratch. I have seen highly professionals working to very low wage labor jobs. Canadian immigration need to rewrite their immigration structure. Thank God I made my decision on time n came back to my home country n now earning good in my profession or it would have been a disaster if I had not made that decision 2007

HI,\nTHANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING. THOUGH I HAVE A QUESTION HERE. I'M APPLYING WITH MY HUSBAND, BUT I WILL BE THE PRIMARY APPLICANT. THERE ARE THREE QUESTIONS HERE.\n\n1. MY IELTS SCORE IS 8 BANDS. MY HUSBAND'S SCORE IS 5.5. DOES IT MATTER? OUR CRS SCORE IS 480. SO I'M NOT SURE IF HE SHOULD GIVE THE IELTS AGAIN.\n\n\n2. I AM A LAWYER AND MY WES SAYS THAT THE CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY IS : FIRST PROFESSIONAL DEGREE IN LAW (JURIS DOCTOR). SO WHAT SHOULD I FILL IN MY QUALIFICATION SECTION?\n\n3. SINCE MY HUSBAND WILL BE A DEPENDENT IN MY PROFILE FOR THE EXPRESS ENTRY, DOES HE NEED A WES QUALIFICATION AS WELL? HE HAS DONE BCOM FROM DU. I'M NOT SURE IF HE NEEDS TO SUBMIT HIS WES EVALUATION SEPARATELY.\n\nDO HELP ME WITH THESE. THANKS!

Why not gain canadian experience and work as a driver for some years to totally resettle. Ik it is not that easy but dis is de way.\n2:53 exactly. Thank you

Thanks for making this video. After nearly 13 years as of Jan 1st 2022, I'll be leaving Canada on a one-way ticket; not to my country of origin, but further into new ventures.\n\nIt's been a slog to become a citizen and try and make life work here. It's a good place to be successful financially if you make sound choices, and then to live a fairly quiet, isolated life. If all you want is to live within your own ethnic community and have a better quality of life, it's a good place.\n\nUnfortunately, it's never had enough culture or meaning for me. Life feels pretty empty no matter how much money you make. The national identity being based around home-ownership feels extremely depressing to me.\n\nAnd you're both on point about the reserved, passive-aggressive nature of Canadians. I've become like that too now. It's pretty obvious that it costs us dearly; people are unable to be genuinely warm, to take risks and form real friendships. Everything feels surface-level because no one risks taking the steps that might even be a bit of intrusion into each other's lives that is the signal of the start of a close friendship. I'm sick of the surface relationships I've had here.\n\nAnd the wholesale import of U.S. narratives with complete ignorance of our own realities. Most Canadians think they live in the U.S. and seem unable to name a single important issue in their own province or country. I truly came to see the Canadians as a colonized people who refuse to truly admit that they are colonized behind a thin veneer of insecurity posing as a virtue-superiority complex.\n\nI sound harsh but it's the outpouring of someone who's fallen in and out of love with his country.\n\nI don't know what I will find on the other side, but it's going to be different and I honestly can't wait.

Thanks a lot Jason for this video, it was really helpful. I Wana ask if I have a low CLB can I least creat a profile and then plan to rewrite the test and update the profile. How wise is that pls,?. Then also if my ECA I obtained stated that my certificate is not equivalent to a Canadian Education, can I still apply for an Express Entry?

Lived there for 14 years on and off mostly bcoz had no choice to go back but all the time I was only hoping, praying when time will come that I will leave this country finally I’m out , thank God , truth is that there is too much hype about Canada in other parts of the world particularly in Asian countries , immigrating to other European countries is difficult now , the picture of Canada is being portrayed as the best place , it is a nice country to some extent but living comfortably is extremely hard , way too expensive , everything from groceries to education , it is completely out of reach for a new comer to buy a house in and around Toronto , way too cold , brutal winters , which are very depressing , problem is this country is mostly uninhabitable due to extreme cold weather , everyone is nestled in Toronto and it’s surroundings , very limited opportunities. \nCold Canadian behavior, I always used to call it Cold Hell. I can go on and on ….I’m happy I’m out from there. You can just struggle to survive , you can’t have future in Canada.

Can any one provide some guidance that how can a person having a banking career qualify for Canadian immigration. I am a Branch Manager at a local bank in Pakistan and I have a total of 15 years of banking experience with a post graduate degree. My spouse is also a post graduate. Have searched but seems like bankers have slim chances of immigration. Guidance required. Thanks.

Thanks for your invitation to settle in Canada. I had tried to settle in Canada some 22 years ago but no luck. In USA it is not possible to get my family as I am a green card holder. I had heard that it is easy to get Canadian citizenship. Now I am enjoying retired life here with my wife. I would request you to give me the details of Jehangir who had sold me his 2 rooms flat in Bahria towns Rawalpindi and received 10 lakhs. I have yet to pay him 12 lakhs but he left Pakistan. He had signed contract on the office pad instead of stamp paper and wrote the id card number incorrect.\nMay I inform the Canadian Government about this?\nJami Hussain 0335.396.4195

Thanks for the information. Could you tell us how to find Canadian style resume format for corporate sales job? Thanks

Thank you so much for the video, I am the future Canadian and it's fortunate all the time I get to hear Canadians are the best ?

Hi Jason. Thank you for a clear video. I always refer to this when in doubt. However, I have a question. \nI am still pursuing my master's in the USA and it will be completed in August. But to start with the process, I gave my IELTS exam and had my WES evaluation.\n\nThe WES evaluation says that my level of study is equivalent to 'Two years of graduate study' but not 'Master's degree equivalent to Canadian masters'. I think that is because my degree is still in progress and incomplete. \n\nSo while creating the IRCC profile what level of education should I put? Should I show masters or anything else?\n\nThank you once again.

People seem to be annoyed of how Canada has become too welcoming. drugs also seem to be a big thing here now too ☠️ it is also hard to find jobs for most Canadians these days.. once people who come in and move here, all settled and whatnot .. they can sometimes be rude like as if they are better than you because they have 2 or more jobs (not all, but some).\n\nI am an Aboriginal Canadian. \nI am not racist.\nBut I have noticed things seem to be way differently within the few years .. \n\n\nalso, thanks Trudeau ???

Just wondering if this is average/real Canadian or say way below average, rarely happens Canadian? Was planning to tour the maple country but if this happens then no thanks

Please make a video on canadian style of resume. Thanks for the information ☺️

i have done my bachelors and masters in India, but as per Canadian standards, WES evaluates it as 2 Bachelor degree (3+4 years). What should be entered in the qualification field in CRS in this case? Thank you!

Thanks for the details! I have submitted my PR application in the month of may but still have not got my PR under Canadian experience category. I even heard from other friends that CEC is taking more then 1-2 year to approve the application. Can you please make a video on this, I know many people are waiting for their PRs

Hi Jason, this is a very nice video that you have put up. I am going to begin the entire process. However, I would be grateful if you could clarify on below points.\n\n1.In the British council site there are three exams for IELTS, Book paper based and computer delivered ielts (academic and general training), IELTS for UK visas and immigration (academic and general training?, IELTS life skills (A1 and B1). Which test should I take? \n\n2.If my application has been rejected can I apply for it again?\n\n3.Based on your experience what would be the Canadian equivalent of a three yr course of B.com in India?\n\n4. Do these crs scores fluctuate? like at times they are high and at times they are low\n\n5.Will my score increase if I happen to do a masters (part time) after I submit my application? \n\n6.Also I am doing a one year diploma in freight forwarding (its validated by an international agency called fiata), will they accept that score as well if I submit it?\n\nSorry for the long post, will appreciate any kind of response. Thank you.

Haai brother thanks for this video.. \nThe best simplified Video ever, based on Canadian PR. \n\nI have some doubt, pls clarify brother. \n\n1)I have completed 4 year Btech Civil Engineering...How it is calculated for CRS( Professional or Bachelors)?\n\n2) I have 4 year experience in Civil Engineering( 2 year as Site Engineer and 2 year as Technical service Engineer),my question is how CRS is calculated since designation is different.(but 60% job is same).\n\n3)As of now my CRS score is less than 460,So i would like to apply PNP program. What is the chances of getting PNP (alberta/any provinces) with my current designation.\n\n4)How should i know about the current job requirement based on my designation in a particular provincial? \n\n5) Would it be benificial for my PNP if i do any 6 months Skills improvement program related to my qualification? \n\nWaiting for your more detailed PNP videos ???

Hey Jason ? Really informative videos! Thank you! I had a query. My WES report came back. It said the Canadian equivalent to my 5 year Integrated master's degree here is... Bachelor's degree and postgraduate diploma (one year). So what option would one select during CRS score calculation?

My name is Awad Mohmed and I'm proud to be a Sudanese Canadian and I love Canada's diversity one of greatest nation on earth god keep our land glorious and free thanks for the video Drew love all your videos

Systemic racism is a thing in Canada. Thankfully it is not as bad as it is in United States because Canadians are willing to keep up the good fight; they care and give an actual damn.

Thank you for being willing to speak out, individual Canadians and/or others who find themselves in Canada!???
