In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become the North Korea of the western world.\n\nTheir are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.

Sr black tiger par al video banavo Jo Pakistan me rahke India ke liye jasushi karta tha

Im watching 2nd interview of this businessman, but the in this the interviewer asks in detail without letting the delink to happen in questioning. \nAs far as I remember from his other video, he reads Osho a lot, I guess.

*I hope your NOT suggesting giving addicts FREE TAX COVERED DRUGS and NOW MAKING IT LEGAL FOR CHILDREN TO USE FENTYNAL, IS GOOD!!?* If I lived ANYWHERE ELSE I would NEVER move here. BTW, racism is BARELY a thing, it wasn't until Trudeau started calling everyone racists. Quebec had its reasons for banning hijabs, they also banned any other religious dress in GOV positions. This video is ridiculous.

All what he said is fact ,I’ve been here almost 5months no job no work permit .ive done all I could .Am planning on going back home .wish I’ve watch dis video sooner .

Watching your video from Delhi, India ?. Toronto still looks like a heaven to me (although I can't afford it to live there ?).

I love your frankness, God bless you my brother. I have been watching all your videos since I found you. It has been very enriching. Thank you so much

That political take at the end of the video was disgusting for a politician.

Truth is bitter but must be said. Thanks for throwing light on the cons of visitor visa, so that we know what to expect and strategise. \n\nReally a difficult pill for v visa holder or one processing a v visa, to swallow, Especially when the person with a v visa dont have anyone in canada.\n\nThis video is so helpful. Thank you sir.

Amazing video. Explaining the actual reality of this issue. Thanks for putting this out for everyone.

Hey, many many thanks for such a detailed and amazing video. You have very clearly described every step and also explained meaning of so many terms. I was having no knowledge of this process and with your step by step guidance in this video I was able to submit my parents visit visa application very quickly. I followed the steps and got my parents visa approved in 10 days. Many thanks again and god bless you.

Our country has really taken a turn for the worse. This video is spot on. Trudeau is an idiot, and I say that as a liberal. The immigration is out of control. I'm trying to buy a house and it's just depressing. Canada sucks now.

This video is actually genuinely underated

Good and balanced information. Thank you. Your delivery style is also good. I wish however you didn’t obscure your face frequently (or at all) while talking with text and image. Somehow hinders the quality of the video. But the video itself is really good. It will help young people in their decision process.

After this video I start believe in luck and good deeds and blessing and certainly not hard work.

Amazing video… thanks!

An excellent video, eye opener, exposing the deception and exploiting international students.

I believe ur decision was based on ur personal interest , nothing to do with those reasons , as a muslim brother i guess u accept\n(the flower ?? with thorns )\nno need to upload such video ?️

In the last minute of the video you say Canada's economy is one of strongest in the world? Why wasn't that the title?

I recently moved from Long Beach CA to tx. I am thinking of moving to Canada for a new experience and safer environment. This video is helpful! ?

Great Video ?thank you for the info. It was very informative. I was born and raised in Toronto .I do believe this could be a post covid situation of high cost living/high rents. I also think in roughly 4 years or so it should change.Example costs will go down.

There's a video rite below this one I'm watching about the reasons they're leaving Canada I think I'll leave Canada and move to Israel. Because Bengerman Netanyaho is a better prime minister than Justin Trudeau I think I'll join the IDF.

Hi, Thank you for the video, it is really helpful for me since I'm planning to move to NB in this upcoming March. If I may summarize, so for AIP - Worker stream in NB: \n1. the eligibility criteria is to have at least 1 year full time working experience (1560 hours) in any Teer 0 - Teer 4 job for the last 5 years inside or outside NB. \n2. then get a Full-time Job in any of the designated companies in NB \n3. once we got the full time job, we will create the settlement plan to be submitted to the employer, then the employer submit the settlement plan to the provincial AIP dept. to issue the endorsement letter which then is used to apply for my PR \n \nSo does that mean, once we get a full-time job in any of the designated company in NB, then we can immediately start the process for the settlement plan and endorsement letter, without having the working experience in the New Brunswick? Is my understanding correct? Please kindly advise. Thanks

I’d like to think I could watch the whole video but frankly within the first 3 reasons people are “leaving Canada” - not something I’ve notice although in and election season I am not surprised this may be getting blown up In conservative press, you have left out any real context. Yep we pay taxes - but you don’t speak to what services those taxes do our don’t deliver. The complaint that employers want to hire people with experience is as old as time. I’m 70 and when I tried to get jobs as a kid and later as a university grad - it was the same story. Whether the job really requires experience or the employer is just using it to keep entry level wages down - that just goes with the territory and also feels universal. Lastly - you speak of “the Canadian way” without giving any examples. What is “the Canadian way” or is that just your euphemism for racial or cultural prejudice? If it is you should just say what you mean and stop bandying ill defined terms around that let viewers arrive at conclusions you don’t intend. So already being pretty annoyed with your Masters degree opinion piece - I had to stop you and move on. You thoughts here are not very meaningful and feel like they are full of grievances and intended to be asking for audience validation of your grievances which pretty much invalidates your disclaimer at the top of the video.

i am proudly Canadian. not need to watch your video. get out of here and never come back

Awesome video. Can your please share the templates of the invitation and affidavit?

This is the most detailed comparison video I've watched on Canada and the UK. I just subscribed and will be going through other videos of interest

Yes I don't even need to watch the video

I see only Indian students speaking in this video, isn’t India a growing economy..?

The videos of the border crisis are horrendous. Biden has sold the countries soul to Mexican cartels. Just search for and watch the border crisis videos and watch for yourself.

Great video, but one big problem is that more housing is needed that is AFFORDABLE.

Why is CBC more specifically Andrew Chang suddenly highlighting all of Justin Trudeau’s wrongs since 2015 with these “about that” videos? What is actually coming?

The purpose of your video is not to encourage nor discourage living in Canada. Just to share the prevailing sentiments and attitudes. 1) without rigorous methodology vis a vis sociological research, it’s just your precious Millennial opinion, and 2) of course you assume that the world needs to hear your precious Millennial opinion. You would have disappointed me if you didn’t. Oh, and 3) to try to make money in your “side hustle” instead of dedicate yourself to a career. Hope the door doesn’t hit you.

Until Canada’s infrastructure and job levels can meet immigration numbers, I hope all those considering Canada take these exit videos as a warning. There is a reason Canadians have a declining birth rate - we simply cannot afford life here. Don’t be fooled thinking you can. Don’t come here! My family have been in Canada for numerous generations and I think of leaving EVERY day.

You left heaven to experience hell… thanks for doing this video so we don’t have to go through this…

I remember canada immigration has a certain standard and requirements. There were different immigration program such as family class business class. When it comes to student visa graduates studies were offered on funding and scholarships.recently we can see number of high school graduates to attend community College. Canadian takes grant student loan to start any program in college and universities imagine international students from developing countries where the tuition fee is almost double I don't understand the screening process of students. It has benefited to consultants and has ruin canada reputation. There are number of videos in tiktok and YouTube of people making v blog on leaving canada. I feel sad. Canada is a beautiful country but the greed of money has completely ruin the reputation.

Suprisingly not a bad CBC video. Id love if he would have include the graft for all immigration so normal people like my parents could see with their own eyes.

We need full story. Justice should prevail.\nFile a complaint and update full details with outcome....otherwise delete the video.\nRecording video like this against the consent from the officials may cause problems unless there is a justifiable reason(Here context is missing).

One would think with all the money the Canadian Government has provided the CBC last year (1.3 billion CND by their own admission), they could do a better job of the quality of audio production of this video. I normally can play most videos with my volume set to 30% of maximum volume, but this video requires me to increase the volume to 50% to be able to hear what the CBC News commentator was saying.

bahut bore video hai

I went to Conestoga college, and I wish your mon read my words. Canadians, should consider that international students are paying around 20k yearly to Canada Colleges institutions that are not offering better education than the one provided in their own countries for way less than 30k. Other developed countries, like Germany or Belgium offer the same programs to international students for around 8k yearly, but, the international students rather come to Canada which also offer an easier path to become PR. But then, they crash with the reality and they realize that even many Indians can't speak proper English to be competitive in a Canadian College or in a Canadian company. Unfortunately, Canadians educational institutions know that the English spoken by international students is not enough but, they send them an acceptance letter from the institution so they can come and study in Canada. So, the real problem are the Canadian public colleges and Universities accepting people with a poor English level from overseas. Canada is a great place to be but, this kind of actions make their productivity poor which is in reality the problem behind the bad economy development when compare with similar developed countries. So, your mon should first blame its own country policies and educational institutions rather than international students for that kind of behaviors when they are students. Also, you should put your self in their shoes, learn German and go to Germany and see how easy is to manage to get a waitress job only in German in a city like Cologne. And then remember that this international students are bringing 20k from their countries economy to Canada each one yearly. Know, think how many Canadians bring 20k yearly to India or Nepal... Pues bueno como dice el video en Canada son aproximadamente 22 billones de dolares que llegan de esos estudiantes internacionales que hacen trampa en sus examenes, ahora acaso los canadienses no hacen trampa en sus examenes o al aceptar personas con bajo nivel de ingles en sus instituciones educativas?

It happens depending on your area but the extent ya'll here in the comments think the profiling is racial, borders on fantasy. Awfully convenient when influencers or social experiments set out to record being racially profiled and the footage never fails to show that even once.\n\nI got homies like this who get tracked in stores an swear it's cuz their skin color. Yet I'm darker than them and when I goto the same places nobody cares. Either we have extremely specific racists here or the problem is them. That's pretty common too.\n\nI hate specials like this cuz they remove nuance and white people eat it up it while fear mongering our kids. These fools experiences in the video do not represent the majority of us.

Hey friends. I just came across your channel scrolling. \nI’m a white Christian woman in my 40s. Single and no children. \n\nI agree with all of your reasons. I respect you and I respect your beliefs. I wish more people could just live and let live. \n\nI do not judge people based on religion or belief, nationality, skin colour, age, appearance, etc. I try not to judge people at all but I am human and unfortunately flawed. \n\nBut I give all people respect because every human being on this earth are deserving of basic respect and dignity by virtue of their very existence. \n\nI just subscribed and I’m looking forward to watching your older videos and being educated on what it has been like for you to be Muslim in Canada. \nHave a blessed day.

I live just outside the City in the Oakville area, but have gone to Toronto on numerous occasions. In general, even outside the city, the housing affordability crisis has become insane. I want to get out myself. Unless you have money, or a good job as was said in this video I don't even recommend living near Toronto. It's a beautiful area, but the cost just isnt worth it.

People who migrate from countries like Pakistan/India to western countries like US tend to follow their culture more than the people in their respective countries. Take a look at youtube videos from Pakistan and notice what % of women wear traditional head gear. The percentage comes down drastically in the case of educated/middle class people. Same goes for Indian people in US. Almost everyone teaches their daughter traditional dances from India. If you were to go to India, hardly anyone teaches their daughters these dances. Hardly 1 to 5% people whereas its kind of close to 80% or even higher in US. They think they are missing out on the culture and overdo it in western countries. Grass is always greener on the other side. Good luck.

I didn't know all this about Canada. It sounds a lot like America to be honest. Thanks for this video. It was very informative.

Fabulous video! US viewer here. But we often vacationed in Quebec’s Laurentians and our daughter went to Ontario’s University of Toronto for her undergraduate degree about 15 years ago. UofT was rigorous, to say the least, but she did it in 4 years, unlike some of her peers. She LOVED it, and made many friends, including internationals. They’ve stayed close on FB, and even get together (some flying in from other countries, including the Middle East and Asia) every 2 years or so back in Toronto. We’ve found the easiest way to make friends is by going to university or college together and living in residence, rather than once we’ve enter the workforce.\n\nThat said, and as unpolite as it may be, the root of Canada’s problems are exactly its politics. IMO Canada’s misguided liberal policies are to blame for its stratospheric taxes, cost of housing, increasing crime, tolerant drug culture, and deteriorating health care system. That Canada now encourages voluntary euthanasia to reduce health care costs should say it all. Margaret Sanger would be proud. And it promises to get worse as long as Justin Trudeau and his ilk are in power. His lionizing climate change intervention at the expense of what really impacts Canadians is sheer madness. Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre and like-minded politicians could fix it all.\n\nHappily, here in the US, the conservative movement is growing and energized. Once-liberal, especially ‘minority,’ voters are understanding how little the left really offers in the long run, and are switching sides. They’ll be voting for Trump in November.

You didn't even mention the bombed out looking streets and closed highway ramps making driving a nightmare. Antifa riots every May day too. There's videos on youtube of it. Hey but at least they're changing the street names, that won't confuse tourists too much, lolol!

Canada has changed quite drastically from the crime lifestyle and the weather,if you want to stay long term perhaps with a spouse or significant other well it maybe helpful for all kinds of reasons from splitting the costs of living expenses to personal growth together.?!\nA car paid for if you’re inclined to do it your self will save you and your husband a lot of time and money.\nAll the best and look forward to seeing your videos in the future.\n?❤

a very relatable and useful video indeed, it is so depressing here especially when you are well-qualified and experienced back home and need to start back from zero to build your career/profession here.\n\neveryone is busy making ends meet that's why socializing and making friends is really hard.
