let's be honest as an international student I am in awe of how some internationals can study in Canada when they can't even speak English properly .. when I came here I needed to pass IELTS and get a band 7 for everything all my documents and transcripts were directly sent from the official email of my institution. I need to pass an exam before enrolling for my course, I have criminal, abuse registry, and child registry checks in my country and even when I am in Canada. Did all the immunizations needed and abide by their law i need to submit all these documents every 6 months access. to the policy of the program I am doing. And as an international remember you are coming to Canada they have their own culture so you need to respect and adjust to it, not Canada adjusting to you... even though Canada is diverse they have its own rules so yes adapt to the place where you are. And to them blaming the agency you the people who are using them knew exactly what they were getting into now you are complaining I did all my applications through DIY as IRCC is a direct applicant why need agents for application. Ircc should also question why a person needs an agent to process their applications. If they can't understand basic instruction and basic legal matters would you think those students will be able to survive the education system here in Canada? let's be real a lot of students are taking short-term courses, short like 8 months, and yes to get PR (I wouldn't lie cause that would be hypocrisy all international students have that aim, and if you say no just stay in your country). Now this a lesson to IRCC that they really need to make a thorough background before offering a PR permit ..and please when you are in public speak English respect the people around you... and don't speak too loud in your language when you are in working places.. uphold professionalism again remember you are in Canada a french English speaking country. And don't start with me about being racist.... cause it is plainly common sense.

He is really saying we want to maximize misery and death of civilians, by not taking refugees to help promote the united Palestinian War against Israel. Imagine if Poland and all neighboring countries to Ukraine told them they wouldn't take a single refugee from the War caused by Russia. Same thing. Gaza attacked Israel. It's unbelievable that massive countries surrounding puny Gaza don't offer any refuge from the War started by the leadership in Gaza. Ask yourself why and its not the BS he says.

Lived here since 1966. It’s not “ Toronto the Good”. I’m lucky I got into the market in the 70s. I wouldn’t recommend moving here for all the reasons you say. Taxes are high, rents are high, crime and homelessness are high. Not a place I’d recommend for someone starting out to move here. I’ll stay here because I live in a lovely neighbourhood and know all my neighbours. It’s home.

So a key problem here is out of control capitalism and the rising costs for everything. Schools wouldn’t be desperate for foreign money if the provincial government provided them enough money and their could\nBe more housing if resources were being allocated to that sector

Normally as an African that is planning to come to Canada. I wouldn't expect love, recognition etc from anyone when I get there. My target will be to get the work done, get paid and face what I came for.

Saudi Arabia like the entire Arab world is complicit in the suffering of Gaza. If they really cared about Palestinians they would demand an immediate dissolution of Hamas and wouldn’t have given money to Hamas for all these years.

Tell the Palestinians to stop\nThe killings and maybe there wouldn’t be a need for a blockage

I bet you wish that MSNBC and CNN wouldn't have kept Crack smoking HUNTER laptop from you before you VOTED for Joe because everyone else knew about LAPTOP BEFORE the election but YOU didn't ?

What about shortage? My ass wouldn't be unemployed rn if there was a labour shortage.

Let's face it, if it wasn't for immigration No Flair Pierre wouldn't have a wife, no Canadian woman would have anything to do with him. I am not sure what website she found him on but lucky for him

There is another reason for migration in Punjab that is increasing population same piece land gets divided over generations and its not enough to sustain families so they prefer to send at least one brother out of country while other do farming the one that goes abroad help with school fees, construction of house, cars, etc. if there was a job here they wouldn't move out previous generations use to go in army for same reason.

Toronto has become garbage. Wouldn't live there anymore. Crime is so bad now. Too many stupid condos, and too crowded.

Eloquent, articulate and well reasoned, absolutely. But he still didn't answer the question. And btw refugees wouldn't necessarily want to leave Palestine forever, but they most certainly want to escape the relentless bombing for the time being

The lesson here is he learnt a skill in the process and this skill is transferable to any nation including here in the US. Yea Japan was his lunch pad but if he didn’t position himself he wouldn’t be where he is. Great video you have a new sub.

Yeah, wouldn't want a real humanitarian gesture from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.

You wouldn't be asking the question if there wasn't a problem.

Yes, as much as most people don't want to admit it, we don't have the housing or resources to take in so many. And not just students but our immigration levels are off the charts in all areas.\n\nI have no issue with someone wanting to come here hoping for a better life, but thats not a legal right that we have n obligation for. Same as you wouldn't open your door and invite anyone in the city to come on in.\n\nWe have to think about this from a practical level because our unrestricted immigration is causing a crisis in many areas, housing, health care and so on.

How is it that we’re told we need immigration to fill the jobs vacant and to build more homes, yet we wouldn’t need anywhere near all those homes if immigration wasn’t happening and yet immigration isn’t even filling those gaps because it’s still an issue. So completely puts an error in what the government is saying

Our country needs a work force not educated people or wealthy people who wouldn't do regular jobs. Those people are the ones who made our housing system so expensive and unaffordable. \nBring real refugees who will start everything from scratch.

I wouldn’t live in Canada, even if you paid me; and this lady left Singapore to BC and makes the same money as a manager as she was making as a FA in Singapore? Absolutely insane and dealing with crappy weather, homelessness, crime, high taxes, etc, etc. not for all the tea in China?

There’s more guns than people in America. You can literally go to some cities and buy a gun on the streets for $50. The colleges in schools are being overprotected and there’s new laws coming so I wouldn’t carry anything into those areas.??

If money was no issue, I certainly wouldn’t be choosing Toronto. Dull, congested, concrete city.

The killing within Gaza wouldn’t have happened if Hamas hadn’t brutally attacked and murdered hundreds of innocent Israelis. Perhaps he could have condemned Hamas? He obviously doesn’t want the Palestinian problem in his backyard. He uses weaseley words to obfuscate his own desire to distance himself from the problem.

I agree with all of what you said, of course it’s a result of still the 2008 crash people have not recovered then they were hit by COVID-19 then after COVID-19, both Canada and America have drained their money into the Ukraine war, after that now Canada is draining its reserve into the clash in the mid east, trying to walk in line with America again, but they have America have US dollar which is backed by most of the world even though America is suffering now they are now on 33 trillion deficit, and it is continuing, many economist, they say if it wouldn’t be, America are printing the dollar if it would’ve collapsed long time ago, America is involving itself around the world and that cost huge money but it is unfortunate that Canada it’s trying to follow with it which means higher taxes and higher cost in the trillions

I lived right downtown with an old GF who I found was gay, no surprise women there seem to hate men. I wouldn't date a woman from Toronto if they were the last ones on Earth, talk about attitude, And let's be honest it really is a cold heartless city It had been for well over 30 years.

Oh God ! I wouldn't want to be homeless in Canada .Brrrr. so ?

If a Muslim was able to live at peace without having the hidden agenda of wanting to take over our government, & then force their Sharia on all Canadian citizens, which I'm very grateful hasn't come to that extreme yet, then maybe I wouldn't have my defenses up the second I see a Muslim in public places. Church & State should NEVER come together as one. That would not be fair to all of those who belong to other religions. The only acceptable religions in Canada, are the Reformed kind, where you have the right to practice your religion in secret, so that it doesn't offend other people.

I suggest you consider a Muslim South-East Asian country such as Malaysia, Indonesia, or Brunei. You wouldn't have to deal with winter. The cost of living is much cheaper than Canada. You would be surrounded by fellow Muslims in a nation that respects and promotes Islam.

Always best to live among your own people, I wouldn’t dream of living in a Muslim country because I know I never would be fully accepted there ..That’s human nature.

Toronto is no paradise its expensive overlytaxed the people are miserable and selfish and is getting more and more violent the city hates god it keeps poor people down so you can't own a home it is rasist in passive way just too give impression like its not\n Free health care was in the past in toronto doctors in toronto just use your health card as a hustle you go in their office early in the morning sit whole day till evening then im lest than 5minutes you out then they try too experiment drugs on you and you still sick if not the drugs causes other problems. It's a city of lawlessness and only very wealthy people dont see the troubles most taxpayers face . Tax payers are taken advantage of by politicians in toronto now people cant afford housing . I wouldn't advise people to come here its gotten very difficult too live.

You’re wrong about the economic information on Canada. Canada is actually vastly wealthy….\n But they keep building banks and other establishments for communist countries. You wouldn’t believe what they’ve done for communist Cambodia an$ the Canada bank in that country.

Of course no country in the Middle East wants to take on a migrant population of 3 million people. Do we want 3 million people to come into the US from Venezuela? No. Why would they accept something we wouldn’t?\n\nAdd into that the fact that if a forced migration happens, the region will explode in warfare against Israel. Then the Palestinians won’t need to move. Israel won’t be there anymore.

It used to be good in Canada.Now it's authoritarian.People can't afford food or homes.Many can't access healthcare and when they do it's subpar.They freeze bank accounts and jail the peaceful protestors.The media is bought by and controlled by Trudeau.They are flooding us with refugees.Which I wouldn't mind if they had enough actual resources to go to everyone but they don't so citizens and refugees suffer.They do a price on pollution on citizens causing food ,gas,home price and rent inflation while they jet set in their private jets and take money in corrupt ways from taxpayers and use it to enrich themselves.They legalize hard drugs so kids are dying in the streets.If a man in a dress comes into bathroom with my daughter I get in trouble for being uncomfortable and so does my daughter.If we were scared to get vaxed we were shunned from society,barred from public transport and stores.We lost our jobs.We to vote them out and they got back in with minority and they made backroom deal with far left party to block opposition and have full power nobody agreed to.They block calling an election to get them out.When all this misery becomes too much they offer medical assistance in dying to anyone who asks and have even offered to those who didnt ask.So ya Canada sucks

If you want to live in an Islamic state you move to a Muslim country. Canada is a secular democracy that guarantees your religious freedom. No Muslim country does that unless you are a Muslim. Wouldn’t it be much better if you considered yourselves human beings before all else? It is your humanity that gives the true power of redemption and being decent, moral individuals. No religion on earth does that. Not yours or any other. Belief is not as important as knowledge and humanity. However, you must do what you think is right for you. I think it would be good for you to move to the Middle East and experience what life is like in a theocracy.

Well then if I were you I wouldn't come to America either\nour Government is the same

Good for you. I hope you find a nice muslim country to move to. Where you will have a nice life in a total muslim country. When you are there please inform all muslims, especially the ones who are thinking to emigrate to any western country, that they should stay where they are. It will also be a very good thing if you can persuade other muslim in west to move back to their respective country. May I suggest one of the MENA countries. They are very religous there and you wouldn't be harassed by any Christins, jews , hindus or other religions. They simply don't exist there. You don't have to bother about elections and other western nonsens. Just pray 5 times a day and on Friday ,go to the mosque and the iman will tell you everthing you need to know.

All these things he wanted for the Palestinians, the Palestinians wouldn't want for the Israelis \nThey're not playing the same game

It’s not an Islamic country and you shouldn’t expect one. I wouldn’t move to Saudi Arabia and expect an atheist environment, because that’s what I had at home. It’s a weird expectation to have of a host country!?

I hope you find a better place because there are the same problems around the world. The United States have normalize a lot of what you are talking about. Hate is growing, greed is growing. I'm almost 70, born in Toronto, I've only traveled to Quebec a few times, no other provinces. I have flown 4 times in my life, once to Thunder Bay, once to Chicago, and two times to the Philippines. I wouldn't live anywhere else in the world. I have worked over 40 years in average jobs but I made it. I respect everyone's religion but don't push it on me, I'm not religious in anyway. Religion belongs in a believer's home or religious establishment. All I can say is good luck, life is what you make it.

I would sooner be homeless than live in Toronto,\nOh wait, I probably would be homeless if I moved to Toronto and any personal possessions would be stole so I wouldn’t have to worry about insurance!!!

Exactly..Palestinians are the chosen one! They wouldn’t,shouldn’t and must not leave their Land..because it’s theirs ??

Wouldn’t blame you

Glad I left Onterible for Alberta, wouldn't go back to any part of it if they told me I could live there for free.

People who have grown up in Christian majority Western countries are absolutely supportive of Muslims moving to Muslim majority theocratic countries, and staying there. Of course I wouldn't dream of moving to a theocratic Muslim country and try to change it to my preference. So why should Muslims move to these Western countries that protect minorities and enshrine religious freedoms into their law and try to change it all to their preference? Which looking at those theocratic countries involves removal of those protections and state sponsored persecution of other religions and minorities. Best parting ways. Good luck.

As a born and raised Canadian I made the decision to flee my homeland of 42 years the moment that the current regime came to power in 2015. I ended a highly successful, well-paid 20+ year career, sold everything I owned and was gone within six months. I am not a religious person, so that did not factor into my decision, though I knew what was coming since I had lived for years as a member of a minority that was constantly demonized by former Liberal rulers for decades.\n\nI completely understand your reasons for leaving and wish you all the best. Canada was a great place to grow up in and I wouldn't trade that experience for the world, but to say that it is now going through a process of state-funded and engineered societal decay would be an extreme understatement. It breaks my heart to see what's become of my once wonderful nation, but I've resolved to treat it like a deceased parent who lives on in fond memories, but is never coming back.\n\nI hope you find the ideal sanctuary for you and your children away from the madness plaguing the world these days and I am eager to see where your journey takes you. Best wishes.

Toronto is awful now. Totally gone downhill—-too much crime, crippling taxes, high rents….i wouldn’t come here now.

You obviously don't consider Canada as your home, so wouldn't it make sense to move to whichever part of the world you consider home?

How about by STOPPING HAMAS from MURDERING and SURRENDER. That would indeed “stop the killing” he is referring to —meaning IDF. And the “humanitarian “ aid IS avail but Hamas keeps stealing it. And lastly there wouldn’t be a NEED for “humanitarian aid” if HAMAS had not INVADED Israel to MURDER & kidnap civilians—and incite a WAR. This Saudi ditched the question of why really nobody in the “arab” world is helping “Palestinians “ because they DONT WANT THEM. But he doesn’t want to admit that.

I respect that your intentions are pure and you want the best for your children. I’m an Australian convert and have lived in Pakistan and Saudi also. There were positive and negative in all 3 of those places but by far feel that Australia is the best place to raise children. In Pakistan, twice while wearing full black abaya and hijab I had men try to grope me. I have a teen daughter and she enjoys certain levels of freedom here but I wouldn’t let her walk out of the house in Pakistan. Saudi was safer than Pakistan but had its own issues. You likely won’t agree with all the governmental decisions in any country you go to. I don’t agree with the government decisions of any of the 3 countries I mentioned above, if that’s a reason to leave a country then it’ll be a problem everywhere. Sorry it’s counter to your point but just sharing my experience. The grass isn’t greener. Oh and one other thing o noticed, in these countries your kids witness “Muslims” doing terrible things and it’s really difficult to explain.

If we stopped voting for this idiots, we wouldn't have these problems. Toronto mayor proposed 10.5 property tax increase. Good luck voting for liberals ?
