Hi there! I find this very helpful and very detailed. Thank you so much for this. However, I got question regarding relatives/family in computing CRS score. I have a first cousin who lives in Manitoba and it says from the website that close relative ties can be included onto your CRS score. When I was computing my CRS, it only asks about brother/sister. Just wanted to know if I can say YES to that section?

There is bias in the experiments having the presumption of being treated differently. I did a test going into different stores of the same name and I was treated differently. I also was treated differently by women compared to men. Younger individuals compared to older and depending on the section of store. I never look around to see if someone is around me and when I did start looking, people were there. Could it be we are looking for flaws in people? Society today is being taught skin color, gender and ethnicity are THE reasons you get attention from someone else. There are extremely rude and immorally questionable people in this world, yes. Thank goodness they are the few.\n\nWe cannot give them recognition by building societal rules around their behaviors. Ignore them and they will fade away.

Hey Yes there is a problem of racism in Canada too. They will not show directly but indirectly will do that at most of the places. Its really rude especially when i try to help out somebody or don’t have any intentions to hurt people. I always try to make people happy and smile. Why is that? Before anything we are all humans, that should all matters. Please being respectful to everybody, you never know how the person is already going through in their lives. I apologize if i say anything wrong but thats a bitter truth. Thank you!!!

8:17 BEST BUY Hello people Just before the COVID 19 pandemic struck our Country, in the United States of America. My son and I were shopping at Best Buy. We had more than five or six different people ask if we needed assistance. My Son would say no thanks, and I would ask each one that did ask if I needed help, to help me. That associate would show me where to look, then try real hard to get away from me. This happened at least five to six times. All six times, I said yes. Finally, they stopped asking me and continued to ask my son. The reason my son would say no thanks is because he was just looking. I, on the other hand, had questions about what I wanted to buy. They did a great job answering all of my questions, however, when it came to buying what I wanted to buy most of all of the associates had either left the area or went home, because I could not find anyone when it came down to purchasing the items I wanted, only to find out what I wanted was made in China, They no longer carry the product, in their stores, or online. However, they still had the items on display; however, you just could not buy them. P.S. We are white.

Canadian here in Toronto. Thanks for the video Drew. Very accurate. We're similar in so many ways but there are definitely differences. Today was the day I was supposed to fly to China to take a tour in North Korea. Yes you heard that right. YouTubers like you and similar others have inspired me to try different destinations and experiences. However, that will have to be out on hold for the time being... :(

Thank you Salman Farsi for pointing out that yes, this will increase Islamaphobia.

i got racially profiled . i went to an up scale outdoor mall. Full off super wealthy White ppl . I was with my friends in a candy store .. i bought a sprite and told the lady to keep the receipt . i didn’t think i needed it . it was only like 2 bucks. Long story short an older lady who was in her 50’s about ( white ) accuses me of stealing tells the workers to chase after me . As i’m walking out . One of the lady’s grabs my shoulder and ask me if i paid for that . i said yes i did. she asks for my receipt and i told her i just bought a sprite and didn’t think i needed it She tells me to STAY PUT . i said uh ok. She ask the lady at the register if i paid and she said yes . Remind u everyone in the store is white i’m the only black kid . Also i’m 13. My friends confronted the lady without me asking . i’m thankful for them

Thank you for doing this video. I think more people need to watch this. I live in the USA and yes it definitely happens here. We are all just people and we need to learn to live and be as one.

Yes.. Make it food plan video.. I m waiting... Thanks for video

Yes pl. Do make a vdo on food. My son studies there. As a mom I m always worried abt his food thing. Thanks for all the info ?

Great experiment. Shocking results from Canada. U.S., maybe, yes, but not Canada. I am Caucasian from the U.S. It might be subtle, but it's still there. Not good! The subtle racists are more threatening, in my opinion, because you cannot spot them right away. This is a very eye-opening experience. Thanks for sharing.

There is a lot of BS in this video. Stores like Best Buy will always have employees come up to you and ask if you need help ESPECIALLY if you linger. Then there are some facts. My brother worked at a Sprint Retail store and tells me that 100% of the people caught stealing were blacks. So the black community can thank other blacks for the discrimination. \n\nAlso, if you are dressed a certain way, don’t complain if you are followed. \n\nIs there racism? Hell, yes! I’ve been victim of that myself. But some of the things shown here was just stretching.

yes thank u the healthcare situation here is absolutely messed up i dont get it. \nhey have u gone to the grand canyon yet? :D

YES IT NEVER CLAIMED...THE OLD TESTAMENT SAYS ONE SHOULD NOT EAT ANIMALS WITH HOOFS AND ANIMALS WITH CLAWS .....HAVING SAID THAT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT JESUS SAYS GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD AND EAT IN HIS NAME, IF ONE BELIEVES THAT EVERYTHING IS BY GOD AND GIVES THANKS TO GOD FOR PROVIDING THIS MEAL TODAY HE CAN EAT WITH ALL THANKS AND GLORY TO GOD.
