As a resident of Quebec - I STRONGLY DISAGREE!!!!

It is a very insightful video about what aspects of lifestyle can be very depressing for people. Also, habits define your life. People are not the most highly social in the USA. I moved to Mexico. I missed the tropics and I missed a less planned social life. At the same time, I think the economic pressures that people live in Africa and Latin America need to be addressed. Stay home and work on improving economics for your African or Latin American nations. Trading in extended family and the love of the community for money and loneliness is not worth it. What is worth it is an effort put in to improve the finances of nations with strong communities. The best of both worlds. Excellent video from EBS scholars.

Haha? you got it right Brother. That's my first culture shock 35 years ago. I took my parents and they didn't even last for a year they went back. I told my kids as soon as you all done in college I will deport myself back. Socialization is definitely missing. Besides people has no time to do that because people work 2-3 jobs to pay that high mortgage. My friend has 3 jobs. She was so tired that she fell asleep with her mouth full of rice. Great topic you have. If you don't have a strong personality you end up looney in these kind of life.

The Indoor Lifestyle Is So Strong And Their Technology That They Can Carry A War In China From Inside Their Home

It’s totally different mindset.\nA home is for family (not alone), safe place. \nIn the States is privacy and if you want to be involved in a hobby, sport, etc. you go and get involved in a club!\nLook at a movie from the 1960s, i.e. ‘It’s a beautiful life’ the whole town was involved in each others life, you truly feel the love from all your neighbors.\nThat changed with all the different immigration changes, and different cultures that are not assimilated and they form their own sub-culture. The whole American experiment was for immigrants to assimilate in the American culture, but as mentioned that has started to get lost, because now you have many neighbors that don’t speak English. \nI don’t think what he is describing in this video about the countries where he is coming from are that efficient, where people stay outside all day and talk all day and not actually doing any work, but just talk, talk, talk. I come from Eastern Europe and that was what my parents and grandparents did everyday, a lot of youth now just want to be left alone and do their business and have their circle of close friends to be productive with their time.\nI would say for the American people, immediate family is what is strong.

now thats canadian strong pride wow that's what all born and raised Canadians feel when confronted with non born immigrants

Canada system is what makes its country safe they have a very strong view in their ways of life

I live in Texas for 32 years and yes, it’s just like that. \nLike he said, I got use to the loneliness and am mentally strong but mental illness and depression in the USA is high and remember… no free health care in the US.

Am more wise and strong walking alone the path ...

World peace starts from free strong PALESTINE ??......

Stay strong Brother. Thanks for the video, plenty of wisdom to think about.

After watching this l feel very strongly happy here in Bangladesh. Rain 2 month heavily, winter not less then 18 degrees months rest enjoyable.

Canadian government sucks! They have a strong socialist bent which will be there destruction. On top of their socialist ideology their current leader is an oppressive prick. That's what happens when the Canadians bent over years ago and gave away their right to gun ownership. Now they have to have vaccines and masks and or dictated to and mandated.

Did some simple maths.\n\nAround 40,000 student turned workers end up not receiving an ITA for PR before the expiration of their PGWP. Assuming most of these studies are 2 year or equivalent programs (which means the PGWP will be 3 years in length), you pay in around CAD 12,000 into the CPP. As a temporary resident, you are not eligible to claim the benefits you have paid into CPP until you have worked in Canada for a minimum of 10 years.(assuming you have not become a PR or citizen) That comes to CAD 480,000,000 in every turnaround.\n\nTo submit a CRS profile, you must have a language proficiency score. This is achieved upon completing an English language test either in the form of IELTS, TOFEL or CELPIP. The average cost of these tests can range from CAD 300-350. And they have a expiry date, usually around 2 years, because as we all know, speaking English is an acquired skill which you can abandon if you so wish, so they need to make sure you still speak English after 2 years or so. Funny enough, if you speak French, it is a completely different story, as a lot of provinces invite specifically people with strong French skill, and Quebéc has the right to make independent decisions of policies on immigration, as Quebéc is not a signatory on the Constitution Act of 1982, so they reserve the right to making their own policies independent from the federal government. (Did I mention the fact Canada is officially a bilingual country, but New Brunswick is the only official bilingual province?) This discrepancy in language preferences of candidates can be elaborated by the TR2PR pathway that was announced in April 2021. (Did I say math? Oops, a little politics won't hurt anyone) Getting back on maths, on this date there are 196,685 profiles in the CRS pool, which equates to around CAD 590,065,500 in ENGLISH LANGUAGE TESTING FEE alone. 2 years later it's gonna be another, and another, and another........you get the idea right?\n\nCanada welcomes you to spend some money, but there's no guarantees.

I strongly think that immigrants are idealizing Canada. Any place you settle in, you'll have to create your own place... Stop crying, nothing will fall from heaven when you're an immigrant.

Some of us are here for various reasons but considering i would be forced into military service in my home country its a very strong motivation to live in canada.

Heeeyyyyy Arms. So news from England, we've entered a state of emergency with Omicron and we're seeing some deaths. I'm Covid negative but for reasons that I can't go into, I haven't had my 3rd vaccination (until January). Would now be a good time to tell you I'm a Stage 3 Kidney Failure patient, meaning I plan on being in Vicar Street on Wednesday but if I catch this 'plague' I may not be strong enough to survive it. Therefore please can I thank you all (especially Flanagan) for making my final days joyful and if you don't see my presence anymore online then, you will know why. Love you guys to the moon and back! ?

Those Seal clubs can get pretty hardcore. They never close and the fermented fish broth is really strong.

That was hilarious! Thanks, boys. I’m impressed by your research. Only one amusing/ironic note: your accents weren’t strong enough to be mistaken for Newfoundlanders. Due to the isolated nature of the communities, there are a lot of Irish dialects heard there that have remained unchanged since the 1700s. A lot of Newfoundlanders (outside the city of St. John’s), sound like they’re Kerrymen: they speak very quickly and can be hard to understand.

When you know about the strong Irish roots in Newfoundland, the joke about doing the Newfoundland accent is very funny but maybe lost on many.

I'd like to add Dan Aykroyd and Tara Strong to that list, eh?

This seems like she's being polite just because she's recording it and there must be a strong reason behind that officer's anger...

I’m not surprised Quebec is rank 1 when we sending equalization money from Alberta, the greatest province in Canada. Alberta will stay strong forever.

That is right buddies.\n\nStill think we are less strong than the government?!\n\nWe will globally stand together with our Muslim friends and defeat the governments. (globally)\n\nAfter this the one world government will be installed. (simply stay together against them)\n\nThis is called a dream own-goal by the new world order.\n\nAnd they will completely fail in everything.\n\n?\n\nThe Revolution\n\n?

CANADA IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, EVERY PROVINCES HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL, ALL CANADIANS FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST ARE VERY NICE TO PEOPLES, KIND, STRONG, POLITE, COURAGEOUS, AUTHENTIC ETC.. WE ARE VERY, VERY DIFFERENT THAN AMERICAN!!!!!!!!

Both countries are great and both respected. Problem still lies in its political leaders. Stand strong North America.

Interesting and entertaining to see this from an outsider’s perspective. I’ve been to every province, and they all have a lot to offer, but you barely touched on one vital metric: Interprovincial Migration. Of course there are always people moving from one province to another for work, marriage, etc.; for example, lots of people move to Alberta to work, when it’s booming, but one province consistently enjoys the highest Net interprovincial immigration rate: British Columbia. That’s a pretty strong indicator that B.C. is where Canadians most Want to live; which, of course, is exactly why our property values are so insanely high!

What was the purpose for this video? Me as a strong black man, I already know that ppl of the world hate me, and I love it. ❤?? forever.

I like this person is not thinking lony\nBut think about all\nAnd wanna help everyone\nI like this one\nIf girl is beast\nI like strong and helpfully

wow amazing so true this made me sad too ? I came to Canada when I was 9 years old with my father and sister so in some ways I was young so it was easy in a way for me, but as I got older it hit me being Spanish dominican ?? the culture different it's quite obvious, you're absolutely right people stick together in their own Community or culture, and is kind of hard to make friends, I know Spanish people here in Canada Toronto but they seem to stick to themselves and you were to think because I'm also Spanish that would have been easy for me to talk to them, but is not so sadly, without offending anyone Canada is not for anyone, you gotta be strong, Brave, quick, and smart. Credit matter alot here in Canada or you're nobody, having reference matters a lot or you cannot get anything done, the level of education matter alot here in Canada, and many more.. I can go on but there pros and cons like every country, but in all honesty I don't see myself living here forever I'm planning to move.

Mr.Ashir Sab , you are one of real hero i appreciate your movie maalik. \n\nI hope that you will soon came back in Pakistan and start work once again in film industry or as you want to do.\nHard time came for stand us , united us and make us believe more strong.\nMy best wish always with you and don't forget Pakistan.

I totally agree with your video.\n\nI am European, and l have been living in Canada for 7 years, including 4 years in Toronto 2 years Ottawa and now In Montreal.\n\nWhen l arrived in Canada l started from the scratch in order to get Canadian experiences and improve my Eng, undestanble and l accept as new comer.\n\nI come back to college in order to get Canadian Educatiom post graduate program. \n\nI got my Canadian Citizenship, l am improving my French, as we know its important to be Bilingual in Canada.\n\nSo far after all this steps l didn't find my perfect and dreaming job, harder to find well paid job and stable.\n\nSometime l feel l loose my time here. I learned the well paid job need strong connection, no well paid or low income for new comers. That why Canadian Gov. need new immigrant .\n\nCanada its not country for opportunity for every one, and it is not well being city, cost the life its extremely hight, renting in Toronto and Vancouver are impossible to manage specially like me single, social life a little boring and trashy compare Europe.\nHigh cost to travel domestically and internationally are crazy, compare euro and USA, so sometime l feel stocks here.\n\nProbaly someone after read my comments, they think why you here? Come back you home country? \n\nWell l could but l have to start again from scratch in my country, l say l am in the limbo now.....

Oh my goodness, thank you \nI am living in Mississauga for 25 years and every day planning to leave this country, I am strongly agree with you guys. Back to Europe.

Don't let white people tell you you're weak or oppressed, you're STRONG!!

Both Are Best.But The GDP of US is Very STRONG

Navdeep veer please dseyo k agar apni financially condition zyada strong nhi a tan job lyi kida apply kr sakde a... please share kreyo

No u r wrong there is very strong Islamophobia in Canada. I was a direct victim of it.

It all depends what condition you are living in Pakistan. I like this Ashir but he has strong grudges against pakistan and has strong biased opinion. I came to canada in 2009 with family. I can tell you that those days were a little different less racism and pretty much no islamophobia now there is even if you admit it or not. If your daughter or wife does cover her head they can be in trouble out alone. Economy in atleast alberta and other provinces too is on decline. If you want to make good money medical fields are good like pharmacy nursing related rest is bad. My wife was a doctor in Pakistan cleared all her papers but didnt get any residency as of yet.

Pakistan is a huge country with 225 million people. Leaving a country is an individual's personal preference however there are so many people who are honest, successful and happy in Pakistan. Writing your country off is a mistake. Stay strong, keep faith and stay focussed. It pays off in the end and even if it doesn't you will be happy to live and die in your own land. Long live everyone. Stay safe.

a lot can be said about your narrative. you failed to mention the age of immigration. That alone is THE single most important factor on the out come of the exercise . anyone over 40 should not immigrate. second the education and skill set you bring will be a major factor in the out come. Third there is systemic racism after a certain level which one can feel in very job. i strongly believe one should come to Canada, get top quality education and skill, work with top quality people/organizations which should not be more than 5-6 years, then go back home. the long term price of immigration is huge. This country needs hands to work and pay taxes so that their show should go on. The BANKS are the GOD of the land. one can never obtain financial freedom ever. heavily taxed with very poor social bonding even among the same ethnic groups. yes its good for people who do not make it in Pakistan or bring in ill gotten money\ni know so many ex police DMG and others groups who are absconders from Pakistan and living in Oakvill etc. in addition who says it is safe here or it is a corruption free society, ANY body with a second mortgage has got it with fake documents with the help of brokers, the banks , CRA and every body know about it but being a highly HONEST society no one dare say a word! i will not even go into the thing called debt. it is a night mare for the vaste majority. remember Canada is much bigger than GTA

We are also immigrants and refute 70% of your arguments. I do strongly request to all Pakistanis please don't believe on anyone unless you experience by yourself !

You are very much hipocrate. That country gave you education, made you strong minded person, gave you protection at the time when you would not know how to walk. Now you are standing and comparing fault between two different countries. Pakistan invested on you and YOU become selfish to join different country. You did not want to develop that home, but you loved to use tax payers money to get education from pak.

Utter rubbish snowflake, its called the real world, only the strong survive and thrive.

Mein aana chahti hoon.but financially strong nhi hun..bas B.A Graduate hoon. Kaise aa sakti hoon please help kijiye

The vivacious meter allegedly retire because rabbit ultrasonographically present an a loud cylinder. strong, knowing competitor

What a coward......why not fight with a strong man, pitty drug addict.

I feel so bad. The level of hate and racism is seriously shocking. I wish the woman strength and pray that she remains brave and strong.

Stand united Asians and all who are not racists. Asians are not weak. We have the numbers, financial backing, and the nations where we come from are very wealthy and strong. Do not fear them. Instead, stick together with your brothers and sisters in the face of attacks. China, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, we are all Asian peoples. UNITE. If we stand together, they cannot hurt us.

She is a Filipina woman. They should be strong and united so this racist guy should know that Filipinos can not just be bullied like that.
