Come to Bulgaria guys, we love Arabs

I would love to live in Germany, I speak some German. But it doesn't make sense for me since wages are low compared to the United States. Its a shame too since I am an IT expert and from what I hear its extremely easy to get in, and most jobs don't require ANY German. But the pay is almost half. Sure, I'd probably make up for this in quality of life improvements versus the United States, but I'd be broke, in a small apartment in a major city, unable to do the things I enjoy in life. Maybe suitable for someone in their 20s-30s, not me.

I cant be the only foreigner who loves everything about thia country, and have no complaints, if my country was any better, i won't be here so i choose to love and appreciate the opportunity Germany has offered me.

If I may share some solutions that will benefit Canada and ALL PEOPLES that breathe and live in Canadian Air!\n\nA prosperous country is one that welcomes new peoples to their lands.\n\nForceful Policies that attribute numerical outcomes are cold, harsh, and disrespectful to those who are currently contributing to towards the success with their energy and loving open spirits.

I’ve met many Mexicans where they’d never dream of leaving Mexico because they love it there. Something tells me half of these people aren’t even Mexican? I’m so confused. Why do these people hate Mexico so much?

What is very concerning is that Canada has fallen from 6th in the world in productivity to 29th! That is going to hurt the economy and the Canadian dollar for a very long time. Trudeau tried to base the Canadian economy on housing and government jobs. It wasn’t sustainable. The Canadian working class has been devastated and it won’t change anytime soon. I wish I could change it as I love Canada.

Hi, thanks for the information. please how can i contact you in person. would love to talk to you one on one. thanks i await your response

I love my fellow Canadians, I even used to work in Brampton and bus home with all the immigrants, now living in the west coast. Over the course of 20 years I’ve watched this country go from class to trash.

Uk Here ..we share your frustrations..we are drowning ...the energy right now is chaotic ..sending peace and love to Canada x

Europe should just withdraw from all those refugee treaties. Those speaking in favour of them have purposefully blinded themselves from the havoc being caused by them in Europe. These liberal types too should be deported from Europe. Let them live with those refugees whom they love soo much. Europe is not the birthright of Muslims.

I don’t know where you got your information but Russia is not what you said. I know that there is Russophobia. They have strict immigration laws which is good. They are not as rascist as most so called western world countries. I love Russia ?? ??❤

wow never imagined people would go to Pakistan as they themselves are full here in the UK. Thanks for the info. Let the governments in Africa turn a new leaf, this is so unnecessary , the behaviour of the officials . Lots of love girl❤❤

As a 905 Canadian (Toronto suburb), I want to move to the USA just for the climate difference... Politically, people are regional. I loved visiting Florida just for the difference. Buffalo wasn't enough.

I’m not Muslim but I can understand some of these reasons why you’d want to leave Canada…Canadas not merely diverse anymore it’s diluted, money & bills culturalism is the real identity…it’s hard then ever to acquire personal wealth in the socialist nation. Still one of the cleanest & safest though…isolated crimes yes, bigoted & discriminatory somewhat but the irony is it’s mostly from the new immigrants that bring it from their own war torn etc countries. I don’t thing anybody loves the cold.

i'm french Canadian, a went to USA 6 times... only to go to Walt Disney... i would never live there... but i love Disney ! i wish we had one in Canada, but we will never, because it's too cold here

Are their any success stories of India students in Canada I would love to see

I love Canada but after working my whole life, after retirement, I can't afford to live there anymore. ?

Everyone has a title, but he or she could be a child, a mother, a father, a grandma, and grandpa.\n\nSpread the love \n\n❤❤

I am English and when in the sixties I wanted to live in B C Canada I had to go to the Canadian Embassy in London with my husband for an interview….How I loved it, My husband went first and got a job straight away and i went six weeks later …My son and grandchildren are Canadian but sadly none now live in Canada…….Trudeau has ruined your wonderful country and the influx of so called migrants has destroyed it ..We now in England are overflowing with people flooding this country that have no business being here ..Why don’t they stay in their own country and build it up instead of coming to ours and dragging it down to the cutter….

It's because everywhere in Canada is turning into India. Our ways are being bulldozed out of existence by their ways. It's not all bad. But people want to be able to live the lifestyle they grew up with. Restaurants and bars being bought up and all turned into Indian restaurants. 30 within 4 blocks is ridiculous. All i hear when I go out for a walk is obnoxiously loud Indian music. To be clear, I love Indian culture, food, customs and views on family. But I think it's so important for Canada's identity to keep a variety and not have 1 culture with no interest in co-existing with the beautiful blend that is Canada.

I would love living in Alberta!!!

I have been a PR for 4 years and have aboslutely loved it

I love immigrants, they're what make our country so special all the different cultures coming together. The problem right now is because of terrible government mismanagement we don't have enough housing or jobs for everyone already here. That's my only reason for wanting to pause immigration. It's like being on a life raft that's already full, you can't take more even if you want to.

Dnt ask them to run away like cowards they are MUSLIMS ALHAMDULILLAH THEY LOVE THEIR COUNTRY

Love it! Fucking Biden, the biggest loser of all time!

Free Palestine ✨️ ?? bring everyone who is an American ?? citizen home from Israel . Bring everyone back to Europe, who are European citizens .

Good for her. Made my day seeing this because you’re renting a place that’s no more than 12 hundred a month and changing ppl a ridiculous amount for a shoebox. ????? keep up the great work girl,you got them right where you need them. Love it

I would love to come and visit, but not in this disgraceful manner, i would pay my ticket go the embassy to apply for a visa holiday come through the airport legitimately on a sight seeing holiday and return to my own nation once my holiday time is up.

Such a BS answer. Did the Syrians leave during their war? Ukrainians? People flee a war zone. This is what has happened throughout history. The Gazans would love to leave. Who wouldn't want to leave a war zone.They are fenced in by their Arab brethern who don't want them. The question should have been will you take in the Gazans who want to leave, and there are plenty. And follow up any denials.

Just look at all those peace loving immigrants

Wooww❤❤❤ love you Rajput

Corporate Canada loves open door immigration. Lot's of workers keep the cost of labour down and the working class in fear of losing their jobs.

Canada loves immigrants, but not a million at a time, thank you very much.

Immigration was downloaded to colleges who went hog wild and started importing half of the Punjab province in India. Services companies love this as they effectively have infinite cheap labour and therefore do not need to improve their products or services to stay competitive.

I've got behind on my rent in the past. \nI lived out my last month's rent. \nI'm sorry to the landlord I couldn't pay $2,400 in 2 months. \nBut I left so I gave them no further aggravation and problems so we could all move on. \nI put myself on the street and lost everything. \nEventually I got back on my feet got my own place. \nNot keeping these good landlords supporting me. \nI love this man he sounds like a good man good luck sir you're the kind of immigrants we need in this country to have full-time citizenship you work so hard to get where you are today❤

Government workers must work Saturdays! and take the day off on Mondays. This will help hard working people's life easy and saves millions for poor good progress for the country, for who loves it

Canada loves what’s being happening for the past 8 years, and that’s why they’ll vote for Trudeau again. Trudeau won two terms, and no one wants to talk about why

You’ve got to love and thank the Biden Administration for this one!!!

Poor women, should be excuse and help -- Liberal-NDP criminal coalition is guilty that good Canadian do not have money for rent -- Somebody knows any owner rental apartment from Global News , give us address and phone number to help poor good Canadian people to rent this apartment for Peace and Love -- Viva Canada

Great assessment. My wife left Vancouver 22yrs ago. It was bad then and has only gotten worse. Sadly the residents would rather smoke a joint than vote for a conservative govt and attend a church. Forget about GOD can't be surprised when he forgets about you. That said Australia is not much better and getting worse by the day. The reason govts love immigrants is because they bring money in and are obivious to the local politics so the govts simply continue to introduce more and more corrupt policies every year. Even after they become citizens they remained divided on political thought because they tend to have a duality of mindset which says, if it all goes bad I will go back to where I came from. Meanwhile the local population is so busy applauding a PM like Trudeau who leagalises pot so they can be so stoned while there country is stolen right out from under them. The country always gets the govt the country deserves. Place your faithin JESUS CHRIST for he is the only one who can save you, not a corrupt govt. REPENT and come to CHRIST! \nAs I said earlier, not trying to pick on Canadians as Australians are no better. Canada like Australia was once a country with a CHRISTIAN WORLD VIEW, sadly no longer and hence the decay. GOD BLESS YOU...great chanel with a very honest assessment. ??

Look weak act weak talk weak and no action gets you what we have now need a president that stands strong and backs up with action threats and if your trying to come to the USA and are breaking the law and not respecting the border your a threat no matter your reason enter the right way or be treated as a threat and to all party's of government get your heads out of our wallets and do your jobs or soon when it spills on your lawns it will be to late to fix what you feel is so not important or a problem know one need die to get the job done but many may because the choices you made so know the facts do your job do it with love for all mankind but most importantly the people of the USA

We should be welcoming to everyone ? at the end of the day we should care and love one another ?

I have nothing to do with Canada but it’s wild you people think your country is so benevolent and generous. Y’all are delulu I love it maybe I should become Canadian too. I definitely need to be delulu a lil.

white people cant stand someone else invading their land but white people especially america love to invade other countries.

I love the fact some immigrant mentioned\n“ I came legally but not you”. \nLegacy of the new world is written in blood. Is it not ?

I love immigrants. I hate that we don't have a system that supports the challenges that come with massive growth.

The funny thing is once they land on USA soil. Then they tell everyone one how much they love there home, country. So go back home and fight for your freedom and stop been a burden on other people
