In the next 10 years India is going to be a well developed nation.I am amazed by the positive changes happening in India every time I visit India.I am seriously contemplating moving back to India from the US to start a business . Remember kids,the grass seems always greener on the other side .

Well thanks. I was going to return from the States. I will not be returning anymore. How utterly disappointing.

US is far better for individuals who wants to grow and work on themselves. I lived in US for 2 years and I got the best education learned a lot and met one of the most ambitious people. I always was motivated to do more. US boosted my education and career. Unfortunately I couldn’t stay there due to immigration issues. I moved to Canada and I am here for almost 5 years now and I am still struggling just to make ends meet. Every day I am looking for ways to get out of here back to US or elsewhere. Legalization of drugs, prohibitably expensive housing, poor access to health care, lack of availability of well paying jobs, massive intake of immigrants, overtaxation and fewer businesses opportunities. Canada was great place to live back in 1990s and early 2000s. Everything is going downhill after 2018. Immediately they need to fix immigration, taxation, healthcare, housing, drugs, and support small businesses.Else, Canada will continue to be the place of broken dreams.

I think you highlighted the symptoms of Canadian social problems that’s being brewing for last 30 years. And it’s going to get worse unless the politicians take their head out of sand. There are solutions but it’s contrary to interest of the ruling and well to do tribes. I live in YVR so I understand.

Go to a Scandinavian country and see how you'll be treated there. Smh. There is a huge Nigerian community in Ontario and other parts of Ontario. All I ever hear is complaints from refugees and immigrants. Meanwhile you guys are treated better than ppl who have been here 40 years or more. As well as Canadians who are actually born here. When Caribbean ppl came here 40 years ago they had it really hard. Nigerians and others don't. If it's so bad here for you then go somewhere else. African ppl and other groups are handed a lot when they come here. If I go to live in Nigeria for example will I get any help whatsoever from you're govt? Let's be honest. No I won't

Well done ... keep it going .

Jakpa people are like Lagosians who go back to their villages and present a profile of all is well in Lagos when many lives in slums. To the poor village folk, Lagos is haven and a dream land untill the first day they get there and got slapped by Oshodi, Berger and Mile 1 scenario.

I used to live at Yonge and Gerrard for many years. Loved it. I moved away to Alberta in 2009. I am shocked at how much the city has deteriorated as well as the cost of living. \nAllan Gardens has always been no go….but my god! Just ridiculous. No excuse for this level of homelessness.

I don’t know but money part is true. I am lucky that I work in a nice facility where people work under me and I don’t feel discriminated based on my background(India).Bro you need a better workplace and I live in Saskatchewan too. Well you can become a doctor and the money you will be making is exponential.I love everything except weather ,flat landscape and lack of many places to go to visit nearby.

Many Canadians are going to misinterpret this as Modi showing the middle finger to Canada. The truth however is that internecine gang warfare is rife among Punjabi groups, in both North America as well as back home in Punjab.\n\nHe lived violently, and died violently, as he wished.

Well if we aren’t going to to their intelligence seriously what cannwe expect? That being said when these libs get out the way and we develop our resources Canada should remember the disregard for our sovereignty the way India’s going about it.

I get all the angst about how this city has changed, but I'm not ready to leave yet. It's worth noting that what is happening here is happening in major cities all through western civilisation to some extent (or will soon be), especially in similar cities like Sydney and Melbourne. I know that the Toronto I knew and loved is gone, but these problems are medium term issues. I don't think it's going to stay this way forever, and there are good things happening as well. Life is full of ups and downs and right now this is the down part.

If you going to compared Toronto with the city you mentioned before like New York , Paris Tokio like they Being better them Toronto, well let me wake you up\nToronto is not inmune to the world problems, but putting it down is not cool , outside Paris the touristic center ,you will see the poverty , NewYork homelessness ,over crowder shelters crazy people in the subways ready to punch you in the face for no reason I could go on ,

I lived in TO and loved the multiculturalism, but the rate of demographic change needs to be managed and new immigrants properly supported and integrated. With the mass immigration of the past 2 decades, with a great share of the immigrants moving to TO and the GTA, what made TO great has been destroyed. Especially with the pressure on rents and house prices as the population sky rocketed. In the early 1990s TO was a great middle class city, now its just like other cities with the rich doing well and the rest struggling to hang on. Left in 2017 and will not be going back.

Hi Alina! Great video and very informative. Never been to Toronto but would like to visit it maybe for a week or two one day. The things that are going on in Toronto are also going on in most all of our US cities now as well and it's just a shame.

Well done choko. Now that our man Fraizer have been changed how is that going to affect the visa approvals.

I am a resident of Toronto for the past 11 years now. I moved here from Calgary because back then I had a better opportunity. I was an aspiring pastry chef. I landed in pretty stable and well paid job. I've already noticed the changes in city a few years before the pandemic. The drug addiction and mental health problem were already quite evident as injection sites were popping up around the cities including public parks. Then the pademic happened, it exposes the cracks in our society, some people are becoming selfish and intolerant. I lost my job due to the pandemic, it was very traumatic, I developed severe anxiety/depression. Luckily, i had some savings when it all happened. Fastforward, I've been working in the last 2 years now but I can no longer find the same job and pay I used to have. Most companies are now more ruthless. They let go employees any minute as soon as they felt the business is slow. There's no more job security. The only reason why I am surviving is because I am living in the same apartment since i moved here. However, my new neighbours who just moved in are paying twice as much. I've been attempting to leave the city but that would mean that i would be paying at least twice of my current rent and there aren't much opportunities elesewhere. I honestly felt trapped in my current situation but I am still grateful that I am still better off than many people who are already living on the edge. Sadly, the situation is only getting worst according to many analysts. I think the country is at a breaking point in many aspects.

I’ve been living in Montreal my whole life, coming from a family with a very modest revenue. For my parents, buying a house was already well out of the equation going back 25 years. I’m now 22 years old and, for one buying real estate is not even worth thinking about, but the rental market so out of hand too that I can’t even see myself renting an apartment alone for the foreseeable future. The average rent for a one bedroom apartment is more than half my monthly earning and moving off the island can’t save me because what I’ll save on rent will be spent on living expenses and a car/license (which I don’t have). It really feels hopeless out here at times

Do we have a government in office? And I aint talking about just just President Biden cause hes d*** show not doing his job, but the republicans and the democrats. You all need to address this border. S***, this is going on too long. It's time to shut that s*** down. Making people turn their a**** around and go home and end about 10 million of the ones that already got through over the past 10 years need to round all day a**** up and send them back as well. And then I have to get through sending him back. There's another 30 million that's over here illegally. And it's not okay, it's making it hard for the Americans that has to live here. And it's not right to the taxpayers that work hard every day. Yeah, you illegal aliens. Ya'll might get over here and take a job from someone else. And yeah, Uncle Sam, take taxes out of your check. But you still, you're taken from other Americans, it's not right. It's time to go back, what's wrong? It's not my fault, and it's not our fault. What's wrong is the same thing? That's wrong, and our government is wrong in your government. Corruption corruption kills so corruption need to be killed. One way or another to have a better country and a better government. You have to rude out the poison.

This not the way u welcome a human being he was brave enuf to visit India will modi go to China or will the Chinese ppl treat modi in a bad way no even it was ur enemy u shud treat him well

Well said! Extremely valid point. Good job! Very true. Basically either work there for 3-4 years earn and come home or don’t go at all. ?

Tusi kise v canadian ya american nu India bhej deo......u very well know wot his feedback wud be. U need to understand that nations abroad are not functioning according to Indians or other nationalities. They have their own system, rather u guys go and try to disrupt the system. I am sure u wont like it if any american or canadian wud try to change India according to his tastes n liking. So jithe jao uthe uddan de mohol ch dhall jao. Haan apni individuality nu maintain rakho. There are well educated turbanators punjabis who have excelled abroad......I have never heard them making stupid videos of wot is good in the country or wot is bad.

Well there are certainly millions of Indians students going to USA and canada they Will change the demographics of those countries.

Well, that makes common sense that they only get out of their own crappy country! They know that WHEN Donald Trump gets elected, there won’t be a hope in hell that they will make it into America! So everybody’s making a go for it now While , sleepy Joe is in power

Maybe you should come to England it's not that bad.. I could live here forever except for the weather... Am Kenyan and I love England a lot. There are racist people but there are also very good people.. Cost of living is painfully high but it's high everywhere anyway.. .\n\nIf anyone does not know where to go.. start with England.. Everyone is minding their own business over here...\n\nIn terms of doctors it's a good profession here.. The pay for junior doctors is painfully whack! but consultants are doing well.. Tax also.. Very very high.... Do not even ask about housing and rent\n. . I went through a lot back home before I came here.. If all goes well I will never go back except for holidays and to visit my family...

This is profoundly unfair review and comparison. How many in Nigeria receiving $1000/month salary? When did “time is money” became unacceptable? Maybe that’s one of the reasons the country not prospering because many are lazy and don’t perform their job? Where in this world the system pays you more money than you can handle? Why not give a specific example of that “systemic discrimination/racism”. Why is wanting to know your performance at work discriminatory? Why not be honest that there’s different approach to healthcare professionals in Canada? My question is why he’s not going back to Nigeria? People that are doing VERY WELL in Nigeria don’t ever think of leaving the country. They send their kids to study abroad and pay huge for that. We’ve been in Canada for over 10yrs now and no regrets.

It’s interesting….I am desperate to move to Africa…not sure if east or west, but on day I am going to live there. \nThe way that people throw away everything, driver, stable income, own home fully built, to come to the west to wash white peoples bums, astonishes me. \nThey don’t know what they have. \nThe west is not a home its a place you may make money, as well as face so much discrimination etc.

He should go back to nigeria, the kids will stay in Canada with their mother. You can never appreciate Canada until you find yourself at the bottom and literary dependent on its system. In Africa in general once you fall, just expect to stay down for a very long time and nothing to hold you afloat. Some will say, why dont you save? Well, tou can never prepare enough for rainy days

Dude is talking alot of crap...he is not being truthful at all. If Canada isn't treating him so well he better of go back home to his Nigeria like yesterday. Nigeria has even worse discrimination with it's tribalism, pay is a joke, the system in Nigeria is endemically corrupt, power cuts are a challenge there and don't forget crime with kidnapping is also a serious problem there.

WELL GO BACK NO BODY NEEDS YOU PEOPLE HERE ANYWAY

If you have a problem with Canada then go back to Nigeria. People just want you to do your job and do it well so they can go about their business. They’re not your friend, they are there for a reason and not there for a tea ☕️ party.

If doctors are well paid in Nigeria, why do they go on endless strike action year in year out.

Well that was His Fault, How on earth He will have all those things back home and relocate to Another Country... that's low key decision. Canada is made for those who make very very low income back Home, and if u goin to alone don't go with Family that way u can safe and make something out of it and then later u can bring Family with U..... if u are rich in Africa and u move to another country for the sake of their Paper you are Idiot... is like a king who relocated to another lane, what do u think u will be there? How u think the king in those area will be? Leave their seat for U? Common sense

From all this talk and everything money is what is needed, those who are well to do will complain but for those who are struggling and want to move for greener pastures i think they should as someone in the united States I agree it hard but the opportunities are limitless, even with the discrimination, inflation and all i am able to live a comfortable life and provide for my siblings, and we talk about discrimination even among us Africans we have tribalism, we prefer our tribe than others so lets not just make it as if abroad is the only place discrimination occurs, in all i think its your choice everything has its good and bad , i am grateful for my life so i am not going to complain, good luck to anyone travelling abroad ,

Please kindly take the video down it doesn't speak well of Nigerians...I repeat his not from Nigeria..he should go back to were he play with the life of his patients instead of looking into the cause that brought them..

Well, what this guy is saying is not all orderly true.If Nigerian can get up in morning and go to work no matter how much they pay them , many Nigeria wouldn't be homeless going to other countries for their daily bread. 1000 Naira is 1 dollars. Can you live with 1 dollar a day? To me , don't believe what he is saying,90%of Nigeria are jobless.

The problem with Canada? Too much socialism, regulation and taxation.\nAs the government fails at socialism (as all governments do) , they start to spend more, getting increasingly greedy for people's money. As this happens the public notices that they aren't doing so well, and start to place blame on the rich.\nThe government happily increases taxes on businesses.\n\nBusinesses in response either;\n- Close down\n- Increase prices\n- Cut jobs\n- Reduce wages\n- Move overseas\n\nIncreasing taxes on Businesses has resulted on less money than the government expected, but the government doesn't want to reduce spending...so they increase taxes on everyone else.\n\nThis is what's happened on so many western countries.\n\nBut lets bring on that global corporation and wealth tax! What could go wrong?!

why wear shorts and T-shirt … if you are sooooo proud to carry a knife then go wear Punjabi suit as well…

Why do they want to come into the U.S. in the first place? If it's escaping the cartels well then I can see why I don't blame them but if it's to find better work good luck. It's no different here then it is there. Low pay & housing is extremely expensive we have like over a million homeless people here so good luck finding affordable housing plus not very low income housing here at all & really no welfare. So don't think it's going to be all sunshine & rainbows even the Americans are leaving the U.S. & finding cheaper countries to move to plus our health care here sucks!!!!

Hi Malaika,\nHope you are doing well. I am really happy to see you that you are going for study abroad.\nI hope you will read my comment. Please make a video, how you got admission in Canada, is there any schalorship or self -financed. The whole visa process etc.

I don't know why every other country wants to come to america like america is great. americans are working just to be broke. it's shame 1 job isn't enough to take care of ourselves. 2 jobs is just getting by. And if you want to have a high paying job you have to work your ass off for that. going to school and earning degrees but then you have to work to pay school fees as well. America is really not that great.

Why are we seeing this right now!? We're pretty bad off over here as well. Good fucking luck. Don't go to cali

Well, let's shift. They can enter USA but all the libs trying to justify that this is good, can go invade Mexico. We get more people to build roads and work for minimum wage and also get rid of the brainwashed self entitled liberals who don't want to work but keep demanding stuff for free and robbing stores. It's a win win situation

Are you honestly surprised, the do gooders said this would never happen , well it has and it’s coming near all of you very soon , the genie is out the bottle .\nWhen told what was going to happen you called people out as racists, now watch what is going to happen …..\nYou all sat on your arses and let this happen now reap the seeds you sow , as for the do gooders enjoy…….

Hmmm \nAm saddened bro\nYou know what happened ?\nMy c bro had to exchange his building built up to window level in exchange for a Canadian visitor’s visa through an agent.\n\nAnd the agreement was like things are not going well for my c bro in Ghana here but he has this structure willing to exchange it with someone who will send him abroad.\nLast week he received the visa but he is now gona change the building papers\n\nPlease how should I advise my brother???

Well no doubt this is an invasion and needs to be stopped at whatever means keep it up you going to piss off

Sad AF ? we just saw thousands of free loaders entering Texas. How do they expect to get housing and work without papers? We got folks in Texas, American born, that gotta forge check stubs just to get an apartment. It's not easy living over here. Most of the available rooms are on Airbnb cuz there's never a hotel room available. You could spend all of your check just to get outta this heat. It's hard for trade working Americans to find a decent wage because it's so many immigrants that'll go for anything. They'll accept $13/hours knowing damn well the work is worth $30. Why would they offer us a higher salary if people would come over here and work 15 years for change? ??? I hate Texas but I'm worried that moving will yield the same results.

Why is this happening cnn? Then you say immigration policy has changed for Venezuelans? Well what was the policy change and who changed it? You know exactly what and why it's going on. What a bunch of slimy pricks..

This is why I'm very adamant on my dreams to work in the US. I'm a US citizen because I was born there when my dad went to school for his doctorate degree. I feel very lucky to have that, and that is why I have a dream to live and work there. I know applying for a residence and work permit is a very difficult process to do. I would feel very stupid not to take this chance to live and work in the US.\nAfter a few setbacks of me not being able to go to college there (my parents wouldn't let me because they're not sure of letting me living alone there even though we have a relative there), my parents finally let me go there for work. I just now finished my masters degree, I hope I can make it there as well.
