The CBC is a huge issue in Canada. It’s funded ENTIRELY with tax dollars therefore the government decides what we watch, even if no one wants to watch it at all, and the CBC is 100% in love with the Liberal government and all of their news is blatant propaganda. Why not? The Liberals increased the CBC budget to 1.6 Billion a year of course they want to spin the news to help them especially when you consider the fact that many Conservatives want it defunded completely because they are tired of the spin. \nAnother issue is that some areas of Canada make the decisions for the rest of the country. Ontario and Quebec have large populations therefore when it comes to federal elections they basically always get their way even if everyone in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba disagrees. \nAlso, Quebec gets treated completely differently than the rest of the country. They have special deals when it comes to university tuition and child care, they have their own political party that no one else can vote for, and they force the rest of the country to have French all over the place and on everything which is mostly pointless and very few people in Canada can only speak French and can’t understand the English. The amount of crappy, unwatchable French TV/radio shows we outside Quebec have to pay for with tax dollars is beyond ridiculous.\nI know this comment will get hate especially since I mentioned Quebec which is a touchy subject.

The man doesn't even speak English. These Latino immigrants escape their countries that they themselves ruined after getting independence from Spain and are upset that we don't roll out the red carpet and start speaking Spanish for them. They then get a chip on their shoulder and call us racist for not letting their whole country in. The entitlement is unbelievable.

I’m not Canadian, but I don’t know how this guy can function In Montreal, where half the city is English speaking, not to mention the immigrants. I think he needs to go back to being a country bumpkin Quebecer. I mean no offense to actual rural Quebecers.

Doesn’t even attempt to learn English before coming to a English speaking country?

Canada is not a white country anymore. It is mostly people from third world countries that can't speak English. There is no community, culture. It's cold, it's poor, rent is high, wages are low. It is filled with mentally insane liberals that want to get abortions, mutilate the genitals of their children and euthanize them when they get depressed. Living in Canada is a waste of life.

Why would you live in quebec only knowing english? I doubt there are many french only speaking immigrants living there lives in french in Toronto

Still doesn't speak English after 15 years?

Quebec is not the best province. Each province have pro and cons. But nahh I'm not agree with you, I am born in Quebec. People doesn't want to speak more english. In my opinion It's the worst province in Canada to lives. Ontario looks much way better and have more opportunity job or busness.

Okay. speaking as someone who lives in Canada.... Quebec should not be number one... Especally not if you speak only English.\nThe police enfore language laws that demand all companies post singage only in French. They discriminate against everyone else, unless you're french.

I've lived in Vancouver, Toronto, and Saskatchewan, and I have visited Quebec and Alberta. In my opinion, Vancouver is best. I mean, it's a huge multi cultural seaport city. You get both of two worlds - the resources of a big city and amazing scenic nature. I find that priceless. Quebec, on the other hand, has a lot of great things to offer, but only if you're fluent in French. My visit to Quebec wasn't great. Many people ignored me for speaking English at stores, and so I felt the people were kind of rude to non French speakers. \nI don't have much to say about Saskatchewan, other than it being cold and ugly.

Great Work! \nBut you guys should investigate the latest scam that is happening in India and Canada i.e. LMIA \nSome people in India are paying 80,000 CAD for Permanent Residence \nYou guys should do a thorough investigation \nI came to Canada as an international student \nDid a master’s degree and even though I’m still struggling to find a suitable job for PR \nAnd those who don’t how to speak English are coming to Canada with Permanent Residence \nSo how is it fair to all the students who are working so hard and so determined \nI want you guys to expose these scams \nAnd create an awareness

12:38 cant articulate their background, not proficient in english, I don’t this is a valid point?. Most, if not all, immigrants have gone through rigorous English proficiency tests from reading, writing, speaking. Likewise most of the immigrants have high educational backgrounds, so they’re definitely proficient in English. They may not have the native speaker accent (just like yourselves) but I highly doubt they could be regarded as not being proficient in the English language. What’s the big deal about the English language by the way? among all of the languages, it’s the easiest to master. So I highly doubt that’s one of the real reasons. It’s more on the stupid “not having Canadian experience” thing. Which is really doesn’t make much sense. How would you expect most immigrants to have Canadian work experience? This backwards thinking is among the reason why Canada is lagging compared to other global countries. Only Canada has this rule. That way, it’s limiting its chances of getting the best talents from every part of the world. Because of this rule, highly skilled immigrants are forced to work jobs that doesn’t require technical skills just to pay the bills, until they got fed up for not being able to get jobs according to their high skills and eventually leave Canada for the US.

The only problem with Newfoundland is that they don’t speak French or English

Atleast all of them speak fluent English. I think Canada still got the better deal then America.

Let's be honest, you can live in Quebec even if you speak only english as long as you work in Montreal city or very close. I highly recommend to learn french but it still possible without it. Most of people born in Quebec like me got to learn english, being surrounded by english nations don't give to much choices, need to learn english to get better careers. Most of poeple living in Montreal area speak french and english.

The video title is in English but speaks in Hinglish. What clickbait.

Quebec is a country within a country. It's manically French and the people hate English speaking people. It would be best if they would just leave Canada. It's the worst, by far.

I’ve been living in Canada for 5 years now and I can surely say that Canada is loosing it’s beauty. It’s high time government filters the immigrants it’s taking in the country and it needs to focus more on quality rather than quantity ?\nI love Canada and I feel bad seeing it shaping itself in an ugly way. \nI came from India 5 years ago and I can say this was the best decision but at the same time I feel Canada needs to implement this things to new immigrants coming in:\n\n1) Blend in the local culture and enjoy it the way it is and not try to bring the same chaos and stupidity from back home country.\n\n2) More stricter laws against violators (rowdy immigrants)\n\n3) Once they land they should be given an etiquette lesson and good briefing about Canada whichever airport they are on.\n\n\n4) Better speak English at all times so that everyone can understand everything with clarity.\n(P.S: please don’t consider this racist as Canada has people from all round the world)\n\n5) Cultural festivals need to be celebrated in own space keeping in mind the privacy of others and be courteous to others making sure they’re not bothered.\n\n\n6) Not trying to force others to believe your way or follow certain religion etc and be respectful of others. \n\n\n7) Stop complaining and ranting about things they can’t control and not pollute the environment by being careless. \n\n\nI see a lot of my fellow people making mess of things his beautiful country and hence i hope Canada implements the above points so we can have a better and happy society. \n\nCanada is a land of opportunities and yes it has got some flaws in the system but that’s not what we can control. Hence live and love it the way it is?? \nWe need to be thankful we get clean water here, no floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions etc.\n\n\nThank you Canada ?? ??

Although you compare French in Canada and Spanish in the US, its a stretch in terms of influence and history. French in Canada is the founding language and is widely spoken in Eastern Canada, and the only official language in Quebec, and an official language on a federal level. In the US Spanish is mainly fairly recent spoken by immigrants from 20 different spanish speaking countries spread out all over the place. Spanish in the US is a foreign language..in Canada its the founding language (English was over 100 years later). If you want to do anything at the federal level in Canada, including being a politician, you have to speak both. For an American mentioning Spanish is like someone from France mentioning Arabic.

There are way too many Indian people in Canada as it is. Most of them don't speak any English either. The government should've only let like 25 of them in then cut them off.

I was born in Montreal and lived there for 64 years. I'm fluently bilingual. I speak English and French. My mother was French and my father was English. I was educated in English. Because of my work, I had travelled extensively and often throughout all of Canada and had seen it all except for Nunavut and the NorthWest Territories. Having stated that, I couldn't wait to get out of Quebec. Starting in the early 70's, I couldn't stand living in Quebec but I tolerated it because I was doing well financially and it didn't make sense to relocate. The Quebec government introduced stupid and restrictive language laws back then. That drove a lot of business and English-speaking people out of the province. There was a real economic decline in that province that lasted many years but luckily hadn't affected my business. Most of the people that left Montreal moved to Toronto. Toronto benefitted from that exodus as they became the financial capital of Canada. I have resided in BC's Okanagan Valley for the last 7 years. It's the best move I've ever made. I have never regretted moving here. This is by far, the #1 province in Canada.

Now I know why half my co-workers can no longer speak English.

Yes for international But seems to be only problem with Hindu students. \nReal life situation \nAirport in Frankfurt young guy from India checking in zero English being asked couple of questions only could say “ going to study in Canada “ airport stuff how are you going to study if you do not speak English - no answer. All people around smiling \nThere is a quite high education level I Canada ??

Crime rate in Nunavut is 5 X the national average? ? ?\nManitoba 3rd highest poverty rate.\nAlberta has 46% higher than national average crime ??. ?\nQuebec is only interested in francophones primarily, villages often will not even speak to you if you are English....except Montreal. Montreal can be quite enjoyable socially.

IDIOTIC!!! Bringing refugees that cannot read, write or speak FLUENT ENGLISH is not the immigrants we need. There are BARELY enough jobs for Canadians & YOU want to bring in more people?!!

Before you start anything this important you have to do the research. Check for homelessness, inflation, affordable housing availability, also what kind of education and skills will these 500.000 immigrants have and will they speak English?? Even in a remote part of Canada rent is very high, Canadians are paying 1200.00 per month for a 1 bed 1 bath apartment and don’t forget utilities on top of that. Please help the Canadians already here first. Trudeau has to go and 500.000 extra votes will NOT HELP HIM

just being done for the votes they couldnt care less that it will break the country. just retirees and poeple who cant speak english or french clogging the roads, the health care system and buying up all the housing with foreign dollars and likely bringing in fifth columnist agents looking to attack the west. On the upside this idiocy will likely guarantee Canada implodes in less than 100 years.

If you have money and speak English..you must think smarter before you decide to become an international student outside of India

Really ? Quebec no 1 ?? Don`t get me wrong I live here.... It's pretty....Socialist...Stalin Socialist. And did you ever drive from Montreal to Toronto ? *laugh* As soon as you cross the province border....Your car stop to shake. Bouaaaaaaaahahahaha Roads are better made in Ontario. Oh BTW about the French language.....Did you know that English is made of 28 % of french- words ??? Thank you William the Conqueror 1066....No matter how you look at it.... If you speak english...There always will be a little French in you... So welcome to Quebec...My brothers from any other provinces.

He doesn't even speak English?‍♀️

The only problem I see is creating a false demand and rosy picture to lure them. I have seen students here who don't even speak a proper sentence of English. And the logic you have to understand you are coming to Canada which requires English speaking attributes

Sad story really, but there are many other international students who get it even worse. At least Indian students speak English, have a very large support community in Canada (where pretty much every other person is from India). I only speak because I know. Try coming to this land with no English and no connections at all ...and from a small country in South America, then you really are in trouble.

Hi Jason from the Uk I want to move on and settle down in Canada. How will I get there I am a British citizen and how much money. I am not about immigration rules I have to apply online. It’s having to take too many tests that’s why? You need slot of IQ \nTests so where do I stand in the immigration process. It’s not easy at all. I feel held back. Why is it too hard \nI am waiting to buy a PC laptop before I start to apply. How much it will cost ? \nThanks Jason but I feel it’s very hard. \nIt’s not like the UK. I can speak in English not sure about the French language. It’s a very hard situation to do but willing to pass all the tests ok. \nI hope to go abroad. Please let me know. The language test is hard and what else can I do. I use my mobile phone at the moment. Ok Jason ok. \nI am single at 54 years at the moment. \nI have good pass. Can I meet you on this issue. Ok Jason. I might do it soon. I don’t get much help. Right now I can speak to you. I can speak only English. Yes I have worked in the UK. \nWhat can I do go to the immigration office in London. The cost is very much expensive. Ok. Maybe in sales work medical job. I have no job right now so I am waiting for a new job. I am wanting to leave the Uk it’s ok but no real future at all. I will but need my laptop that will cost slot of money. I don’t want to be duped in this application forms. I want a visas and permanent work visas or something like the same thing. I don’t get much help. Ok Jason let me know when I find my laptop ok.

I think this was a pretty fair assessment in general, you relied on statistics instead of just personal opinion for your rankings. That said, Quebec should not be number one. You somehow got through talking about it without mentioning the fact that it is a French province. You have to be able to speak French to live there. That’s a major concern if you only know English. As much as I want to put my home province of Saskatchewan at the top (though on a side note I think it should be higher, your main argument against it was the crime rate, but that’s just in certain areas of the province), Alberta is the best province from an unbiased perspective. Also I think this is a bit unfair to Manitoba as well. \n\nAll things considered though this is a solid list. Good job.

If anyone wants to move or visit montreal, you can very well make it without speaking french. The very vast majority of montreal speaks english as their second language. However, I still strongly recommend you learn at least a bit of french as the further you get from montreal, the less english speakers you will encounter (this can be as low as 30km away). Also, even if people do speak english as their second language, no one likes to get forced to adapt their speaking to someone who doesn't even try to make an effort to speak in the local language. So it is best if you learn at least the basics like: Hello -> Salut; Do you speak english? -> Parlez-vous anglais?; I don't speak french -> Je ne parle pas français;... And other basic sentences you would expect to say. More likely than not people will still switch to english if you know nothing in french, but usually people are more than happy if you try to speak their language and it makes for a more enjoyable experience all around.

Yes, 1.3 BILLION can now apply to Canada, money is growing on our trees, you will make so much money you will need a truck to carry it home every day. Our roads are paved in gold. You can walk into any vacant house and claim it to be yours. CANADIANS love Indian guys they are so handsome, muscular,speak perfect English, dress and smell great. Luv how they cut their hair. Good luck.

Can you make english subtitles please, I don't speak hundi

I am from Ontario and i agree Quebec is my favourite province . I struggle with the french language despite my efforts to learn it but people in Quebec are mostly bilingual and are happy to speak English if you cant speak french

Leave Canada to what Africa? Good Luck. if you have to wait in line for 8 hours, So what. Come to the U.S. No money your a dead duck unless you were shot and it was left threatening. Don't complain get a life working harder .Don't be lazy like some of your relatives back in Africa. Send money to your parents back in Africa or brothers, or sisters. learn to speak proper English.

I'm from the Quebec, and I'm surprised that english speaking canadian say its the best province lol\nBut it is :D\nEven if the others are nice too

Quebec...NOTNOTNOT Worst place ever. People frown upon English speaking people. Roads are garbage. Police are weird and it is in the way of the east coast. yuk

My friend called me yesterday. He said there is something important I want to ask you, but I can't talk over the phone. Let's meet at a coffee shop. I said ok, then we met and he told me he had just met a guy who runs an English school. He asked him for 1200 CAD for the complete package, which includes English level 4 and the Canadian citizenship test. Note (my friends don't speak English), so my friend accepted and left a deposit and was told he has to attend an English school for only 15 days and he will receive a level 4 English efficiency. THAT'S UNFAIR. I HAVE SPENT HOURS LEARNING ENGLISH AND STUDYING FOR THE TEST!!!!! Anyone has an idea how to stop these people??????? Who should I contact???? I live in Ottawa.

I guess you can not speak English in Quebec. You are not welcome to speak English in Quebec.

This video is pure bs nonsense. Quebec is disgusting and polluted. The frenchies who live in this joke of a province are a repulsive and racist bunch. They hate Canada and in most places will beat up on people who dare speak English. Dangerous and disgusting place, by far the worst in Canada. The vast majority of real Canadians would prefer that Quebec and its people were wiped off the map.

Applying for a canadian citizenship but this lady can even speak any english at all.

I'm Mexican, 16 years old, Living in the USA I can speak English fluently, How can I immigrate to Canada, I don't really like the USA, I want something new, I've heard there's a lot of green places in Canada, I guess that's what drawns to this country. I know that as an immigrant things are not gonna be easy, And that lots of hard work awaits me, But that's nothing to be afraid of, Also I'm a very simple person, I wouldn't waste a lot of money, It really would benefit me, waste less money and earn more money, Good luck y'all

I am Ukrainian and going to go to Canada with Cuaet visa, now I am in France. So nice to see compatriots which speaks almost like native in English, really I would think you are native English speakers :) I understood, that you are rather from Russia, and I am from Ukraine, but anyway I consider you like the compatriots abroad, despite bad relationships between our countries, hope in future we will be friends again, because our cultures are so close. I will subscribe to your channel ;)

I'm bilingual too. I speak English and Profane. (Of course, if I really spoke English, I would call it Profanity, which is the noun. Profane just sounds better.)

It is beyond me how these nasty people want passports to live in Canada without even speaking english.

Quebec where you get thrown in jail for speaking English. What a joke!
