A long-time subscriber and seldom commenter, but as someone who seriously considered moving to Canada at one point and has been keeping a close eye on the country, I feel both sympathetic and ironic about your decision.\nWhichever corner of the world you land on, fair winds and following seas. You'll do great.

Hi! I'm an American with the 'dream' of immigrating to Canada for many years. Got permanent residency and am working in Montreal for the summer to try it out and.... really shocked about the high taxes vs. the quality of the roads for example :/ What social benefits are Canadians really getting? Although the pace of life and culture is nice, it is hard to make less money here as a teacher than I could be in the US, and with some bullsh*t to put up with (pardon my language). And although I feel safe here, I can't believe how car thefts are so brazen and common. I might just become a seasonal visitor after all.

Canada is dead.

I grew up in Canada but moved to the States in the late 90s. During the pandemic my wife and I decided to come back in order to be closer to family. After ~25 years of living in the US we were shocked at how things had changed - particularly in Toronto where we lived in the 90s and (briefly) returned to. We are gone again and I suspect we will never return.

I feel you. I have a somewhat similar upbringing. Immigrated to Canada, from Lebanon, when I was 7 (with my family), so 42 years and I consider myself to be Canadian. And I've always justified paying our high taxes as the price we have to pay for the great services we have. But more and more I'm feeling these services are falling apart and cost of living has skyrocketed. \n\nI'm not sure where I'll retire.

$$Canada is the Northern Hemisphere version of down under in $$Australia. Both have incompetent leadership.\nI am waiting to see where you choose as the best future available. Save me going thru the same process. All the best.

Unfortunately Canada has gone downhill because of a very incompetent PM and his Liberal cabinet

USA is experiencing the same problems as Canada, but worse. Very sad for all of us. Best of luck finding a place to call home.

You will never leave Canada for sure, it's just for getting more views off of it.

Canada has changed dramatically for the worse. They are bringing in ~two million people from the 3rd world every year!\n\nWhite people will become a minority in Canada in the next 100 years.

Canada is huge and is one of the wealthiest country in the world with a population the size of California .Why not build more cities ?

No body is Canadian and all are Canadians . It’s a country of immigrants. So those who say take back Canada are those who can’t work hard to compete .

That's true, my friend repatriated from Canada because of tough to survive difficult to earn cost of living high

Canada dont Sell yourself or your wanna be Sancutuay Broke City to this Agenda, or your Entire Country will wind uo being just like Cali

I think if CANADA just shut down the govt and laid off everybody, CANADA would be better off than they are now - and for the last 20 years\nThey have NO SHAME !

Canada ?? is importing India ?? to solve the problem. Germany could copy them.

Welcome to Canada. It is not easy leaving your home country. ❤

Et tu, Canada...?‍♀️

I’m American, my dad came from Canada ?? watching from the outside, prayers for Canada daily ?❤️

is justin still PM of canada?

This is one of many things that make me want to leave Canada, for good!

Canada is fried dead .everything that is wrong is going wrong .there is no future for Canada or this world .the world is also fried and twisted .

NO MORE IMMIGRATION! CANADA IS BEING DESTROYED

*SHAME SHAME TENANT BOARD OF CANADA*

Our kindness has been exploited. Trudeau has ruined Canada.

7:50 scapegoating? Is that what we're calling the truth these days? NO. This is called math. If this whole video is created to gaslight Canadians, I just want to tell you that most Canadians are way past that point. Anyway, I've already decided to leave Canada. Just like the reporter of this video, who lives in the states and who doesn't take part in any of the problems of Canada. Enjoy your life in the US when you leave tomorrow.

Its not anti immigration they will turn canada into their birth country, make it ulgy and non Canada

If being far right against uncontrolled immigration so be it notice this dont happen in poland canada uk have got weak leaders it needs to stop

Canada has fallen just like America and Europe

Canada sucks.

I don't really understand this graphic. How many immigrants from each country have come to Canada in total? But then how come some of the numbers go down in later years? It's not how many come each year because the numbers are too high. We did not get 967k British immigrants in 1967, nor 700k in 1987. Nor 300k Italians in 1999.

Hey Americans. Remember when you used to give VISAs away so that fakeugees could land in New York and hop the border into Canada, at the rate of 50,000/ yr?\n\nWell payback is a biatch

Xénophobia Canada ?... so who wants to go there now !!!!????...

Canada needs better immigration laws. Also better screening for those who are chosen to stay. I’ve Hurd of so many people coming to Canada just to live off of welfare and child support benefits, and many who actually want to stay to work and continue a career are deported.

you come canada with student visa, you get open work permit. easy 4-5 million came over two years. Canadian cannot fidn a job anymore. thanks to government.

Liberals and NDP drag canada to the edge of death…..It’s so bizaare?

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

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….

2 billion make $2 a day... they can fly to canada work illegally 10 months then fly entire family in and get 6 figures for child benefit so they can get paid 20-50x what they were making and not even do anything ... socialist dictator treason THIS IS TREaSON the pure definition

Canada is all immigrants country. Now that they are in don't allow other poor souls to come in.

The countries of European nations are being flooded with foreigners, overrunning these nations. Places like England, Germany, France, Netherlands, etc are ethnic wellsprings. Just like Japan, Korea, Vietnam, India, etc, etc. Flooding these wellsprings with other ethnic groups dissolves the ethnic groups (the nations) of those countries. England should be for the English, Japan for the Japanese, Germany for the Germans, etc. If the ruling regime actually cared about respecting different ethnicities/cultures and their existence, if they cared about actual diversity, they'd be opposed to immigration. But instead they are destroying European nations - and places like Japan and South Korea are also in the early stages of this. It's evil. \nAnd as for why Canadians are getting upset is because the ethnic compositions of Canada are changing so fast. So fast. It is becoming like a different country. Why are they doing this to us? It would feel more comfortable if the homelands of European nations were not under this same existential threat, but they are. It's alarming. This is horrific.

All Indians. We have 1 million international students from India that they came to Canada last year, the only intention is to cros the border to USA

This is not the Canada I grew up in. Its discouraging.

Immigrate to Canada is super expensive. They require the people to have a degree, money, etc depending on your nationality.

Canada is broken, I am sick of the governmenty forgetting Canadians and importing cheap unskilled labour. On top Canada needs to stop being the world's charity . Put Canadians First.

Would you look at that... Millions of people are trying to flee communism... But USA and Canada are currently implementing it...

did not hear you say words like it is applicable to those already in canada

The government should pay her rent since she can't pay her rent. If she was the owner, she would not like someone to do this to her. I would like to know if she is employed? They are taking advantage of Canada rules of owners and tenant. I hope they will have a resolution of this matter very soon.

Smh only In Canada private landlords have no say ..\nIf this was a big company business they would have got excited long time

Why did you say at the very beginning of this video that immigrants are allowed into Canada on a anal basis. What do butts have to do with immigration ??
