This is the first time ever I see your video and chanal, you are so amazing and love good for all people. greeting from me and from Iraqi people

Loved this video. So real!! I think it's so important to always be moving forward in life. If Canada is that next step for you that's great, but if you've been here for a few generations and it's no longer serving you in the ways you need there is nothing wrong with searching for something more. I think for so long people have looked at Canada as this utopia and/or ultimate finish line destination but once you're here it's quite a shock at how difficult life really is here because of how expensive it is. Not to mention the climate... Hard enough living in the winter most of the year. Great video can't wait to see what's next for you :) !!

Life is a big adventure.\nEveryone has role to play in this world.\nShare your videos what ever you decided to do, coz we love your videos.\nThank you.

I am also Ukrainian born in Montreal. I left Canada in 1996 when I was 32. Moved to France, then Holland and now in Florida and I love it here. Those moves were all with job offers. I guess with those similarities that’s how this video popped into my feed. They know every about us.

I love your video I am 24 I live in Dubai but originally from Ethiopia you Canadians don’t have any idea how Every one want to migrate to Canada ?? but it’s crazy how every Canadian want to leave Canada I am confused to be honest but I wish you find the best nest ?

love the nostalgic beginning of the video, indeed it is sad how many people are forced to leave Canada simply for a few common factors including cost of living vs quality of living. what is happening to Vancouver is sad too. I've been there for 15 years. Now for a few months in Eastern Europe. quite interesting to compare some things. I forgot how good it feels to not to wait for a check-up with a doctor for many weeks and cancel the appointment in frustration. There are countries where testing your health is much easier apparently. even though I rarely even go to doctors.

I love it how the video conveniently omits the reason why the housing supply is so inadequately low in Canada - real-estate developers and rental agencies lobbying all levels of government to keep zoning laws draconian and to make new construction increadibly difficult. For example, an enormous proportion of Toronto's urban area is still zoned exclusively for single-family housing. The landlords, who are currently extracting record profits from regular people with no sign of decline, are more than happy to shift the blame towards immigrants, and it saddens me to see that respectable media outlets like the Guardian are becoming a part of it.

Sorry to hear the country you live in and love is not what it used to be. It's the same here in the U.S. If you would like to live in the U.S. I have been watching and enjoying your videos for several years now. I hope wherever you move to you will enjoy it and have great success. I thought about moving to Canada but it has become just like the woke cities in the U.S. Take care and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. God bless you in all of your future endeavors.

Go for love your videos. Best wishes

Amazing Alina, so happy for you! I wish you nothing but the best and you'll be amazing wherever you go! Love your content, keep up with the great videos and all the best

Bottom line: You are not sure of what decision to take. You don't sound very decisive.\n90% of your video is about the wonders of Canada, which I agree with, I'm Canadian, and I love it. The rest of your video is about...... I don't know. I just clicked due to the bait. Thanks for your video, i liked it.

China is now the best country in which to live. I saw your videos and observed how much you loved visiting that amazing nation.

Take Me. I have also lived and loved Canada for many years but feel like there could be a much better quality of life to be lived elsewhere. I wish you the best and look forward to your upcoming video series. I have visited 22 countries hunting for the right one but will travel to South East Asia (Philippines, Thailand) for the first time this winter before making any real decisions. Best of Luck, I hope your first choice is a winner.

I saw your happiness when you stayed with that family, in Bulgaria, I think. Remember that young man who shadowed you around their farm. Beautiful scenery with mountains in the background, and that unique wooden chapel. I thought you could start a general store there, with teas and coffee bar of your own! IDK, just had a thought about this place when I saw your video about that place a couple of years back. My biggest concern for your safety is that you find a place that is free of war! And potential of that. Love you, woman, you are so special a person and deserving of peace and beauty. Go with God.

This is such an inspirational video and it hits all the reasons I would too wish to have the courage for change. I would love for you to share your knowledge regarding immigration issues and especially circumventing the world wide tax application. Looking forward to learning your shared experiences.

I love this video, very honest and accurate. We all LOVE Canada. My wife and I live in Penticton, we are going to sell our home and move to Thailand,, I feel the same as you do, love Canada, but not what has happened to Canada

Hi Alina, hope you're having a great day. I was watching your video and it hurts me with how things are nowadays with everything skyrocketing in prices and the job market is not doing well, at least over here in Florida. I live in Miami and it's an expensive city to live in but the economy is not doing well here but overall I do love the city of Miami as I was born and raised here for the majority of my life. If you ever decide to move to the USA to the state of Florida, Central Florida is affordable and the cost of living is better than South Florida and the environment is more mellow. Hope you'll make a good decision about where to move to and hopefully you'll be happy with your choice. Sending ❤ from Miami, Florida, USA ??

Hi Alina, yes I think most people must been kept in so much suspense and perhaps many like me must have move forward hoping the answer is there somewhere towards the end of your video. I perfectly understand what you say about Canada. I think it is largely due to really poor and incompetent leadership and to some extent, a lack of independence to do what is best for Canada instead of another country. Whichever country you choose, I wish you all the very best for a happy and more fulfilled future. I think you are moving to New Zealand although we would love to have someone like you in our country China. Catch you in the next.

Alina my friend thank you for the video on your update what your future plans are. I hope you will go to a place that you will love and enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing where you land. Glad that you have decided it's time to leave where it is not too costly.

I love your videos. It's real talk...

I love how your channel allow discussions in the comments, unlike CBC that would 100% disable comments on every single video related to immigration policies.

My fellow non-Germans….Don’t make the mistake of coming to Germany right now. The country will sooner or later have a crisis due to its politics and their companies falling behind in competitiveness due to incompetence and arrogance. Instead of blaming themselves, they will blame immigrants, including you. Also, if you are a qualified foreigner, you will have to come to terms with being a second class resident, watching how natives enjoy their life and expect you to do their work. Only “luxury jobs” with a strong union like IG Metall will ensure you a fair treatment. But most of these jobs are occupied by 55+ yo people that are waiting for retirement without innovating or contributing absolutely nothing to their company. \nThe woman in the video is happy because she married a local (for love of course). With her low salary as a nurse she would be absolutely miserable and lonely. The Indian guy has a family, and well, he comes from India.

Man I love reading the comments in this video! We also face a similar challenge in other countries that housing is a crisis and governments keep bringing in all sorts of immigrants, from refugees to highly skilled people (like myself). I have switched 5 cities and the story either gets more worse or less worse. Half a year searching for a decent apartment? Some search for years! It's a full time job. The government gets back to my request after many months! Foreigners offices are packed with applications and citizenship is taking years long now. Getting a doctor appointment (psychological issues) within a year is hard, unless you pay from pocket or are in grave danger. We are being squeezed in here and they started new loose immigration policies to be more attractive to foreigners. Address the quality of life at the same time!

Thank you for the great awareness ma. My wife is a Ph.D holder of Guidance and Counselling .She has taught in Secondary school for years .I studied Electrical Engineering . She just filled this Prince Edword recruitment job now after watching this video .She loves to chat you via your email. Kind Regards

Cash will probably never do apartment videos again! lol Sadly, people love the negative videos more than the positive ones!!

I was texting a old friend and he a democrat about immigration and showing him a video about immigration in New York. This is what he text me back.\n\nKamala doesn't control New York neither does Biden.\nWe have a bad\nchoice. An emperor above the law or Ka-mala. A person of zero integrity or one who has some. One who loves Russia anc North Korea. Or Ka-mala. One guilty of attempted insurrection or one who supports the constitution. \n\nWhat do you think?

Love your videos but do you ever talk about anything else or do you also just want to profit from the migrant crisis?

Love your videos! I get more out of your 15 minute videos than I do from any other news source. Keep up the fast talking video's! ❤

i love the insecurity behind this video ❤

Bro, you said in the video you’re brown as can be, dude, you could be blue, purple whatever, the thing is common sense. I’m loving your videos, keep them up, already subbed obviously. What an awesome channel.

Pehli baar appki video dekhi maza aa gya...love from India!!!

Love your videos Tyler, but Canada is actually bigger than the US!\n\nAlso, no. As a Canadian born in Britain, there's not a chance I'd want to move to the US. Lovely place to visit, but not to live.

Wow! I stumbled on your video, and I love your content. My first visa rejection was with the UK. I was rejected 4 times. I was told that my record will be poor so I should declare my passport missing and get a new one. On the 4th rejection, the reason didn't make sense to me so I decided to write to the British High Commissioner and that was the deal breaker. I got 6 months, thereafter several 2 years, and now 5 years. I went ahead to build a travel history by visiting several African countries. Thereafter, I have been able on my own to apply and get schengen, USA and Canada visitor visa.

Hey @AbhiandNiyu, loved this informative(eye opening) video of yours about Canada. Please also try to make more such videos about other countries as well like USA, Australia, European nations, etc where Indians prefer to study and get settled.

i am big fan of your videos but as off i live in Canada since 2022, I am partially agree with you about drug, house rent and medical. \n\nOther than that I’m not agree with your views on loan you can get loan easily in canada.\n\nCanadian government is deporting that students or people who has misconduct the documents or have done some minor crimes or some other issues. \n\nYes there are lots of homeless people in canada but they are homeless because of their own mistakes like drugs and etc not because of the high rent i was a international student and i was paying for my rent. \n\nYes there are so many negative views about canada but most importantly you can earn by your self which is not possible in india. You can start from small jobs in canada which will pay you a decent amount on the other hand no one can earn that much in india while doing simple job. \n\nHere I’m not saying that India is not India is the best and i love india but as you say that grass is greener on the other side. But you also show the good points about canada. And it’s not gamble i have seen thousands of Indian students who is helping their family and making their own career in canada. \n \nOne suggestion for the next time you should have conversations with international students who is living here.

very love you to see this. I would like to congratulate the man who made this video...... Jai sri ram

very love you to see this. I would like to congratulate the man who made this video...... Jai sri ram

Sir can you please make a video like this on Japan, Love from Odisha❤

I really like your videos abhi & niyu however this video is not showing the full reality. Every country has its goods & bads and same goes with Canada. I have lived in Canada for 4 years since 2004 and some problems may have increased, but that doesnt make it such a bad place to live or immigrate too. Drugs is a choice and the percentage should be compared to India as well then.\nYes, there is significant wait for doctors but its not what you showed in video and if you want to expedite, private system is a choice you can take same as india. \nIf you work hard & save, you can definitely afford to buy a house, same as India.\nI love India but that does not mean I close my eyes for any good things outside of that country.

Half knowledge is always dangerous. I request that if you don't have complete knowledge, please don't make such videos and don't be hypocritical. Such problems exist in other countries as well. And yes, if students or people come to Canada without any planning and then blame the Canadian system, who is responsible?\n\nI love watching your videos, but the truth matters. Please don't use this tagline to misguide people.

Just excellent awesome video. Abi and niyu you are just too good. Love ur videos. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Just love your geopolitical videos, I was waiting for it and always will be! :D

When I came to canada as a student in 2016, things were not this bad! After covid and so many major bad decisions by the “justinderrr” Government!!! The country got messed up! I live in canada for 5 years now. You have shown a complete truth. Thank you for making this video. Love & respect ❤

I live in British Columbia. I love your videos and watch everyone of them. I don’t encourage anyone to Canada as of now. Canada also need people with skills. Canada need people here with Trades background and not business education. Most of the Indians come here for business education which are already jobless here. If you can work hard and prove skills sky is limit in Canada too like India. Anyone can watch my video with Piyush Merwal how I paid 12000 CAD in one summer job. Love your work guys and work hard in India if you can and if want to challenge yourself come here , struggle hard and achieve your dreams

Love this video i am in Canada from last 8 years and I have seen the changes what you have mentioned in the video. Really appropriate your work.

Most people here are anticanada because of a select few bad experiences. Dear Abhi and Niyu please live in Canada once before you choose to make a video on the country atleast that way your opinion is more legit and not just based off of research. I still love and respect you guys but its wrong to blame just the country for their current problems since immigrants are just as responsible for these problems.

Sir and. mom all videos love

Love this video very well done

Love this video, it make us rethink this idea that we are the best, don't get me wrong is not the worst but we have been lied to.

Toronto born and raised and a 4th generation Canadian, I loved Toronto so much! As a boy, I was lucky enough to live in a large house at Yonge and St. Clair. Early on we didnt even have to lock the doors or lock up our bikes. We had Beckers corner stores and played tag and baseball down on Summerhill Ave. Fast forward several decades and I have been living in small town USA. By no means is this country even close to perfect but the town I live in is safe, clean and not nearly as populated as Toronto. I am heading back there for a visit and look forward to having my mind blown at the volume of humans that I will see there. I loved the diversity and the amazing food but the housing shortage and ridiculous prices for rent/housing make it next to impossible for even an income earner of my stature want to go back. I cant afford to buy a house there and I make pretty good money. I will love to visit and it is where I am from but I dont see myself moving back there. That makes me sad. Thank you for the video!
