A lot of immigrants who moved here long ago are not happy with the current state of the country. The left government is leaning toward totalitarianism, everything goes down, prices are over the roof, basically doubled since Covid. And now with mortgage rates at 8% who can afford it???

Ok... Toronto and Vancouver is a very small part of Canada... they are not the whole Canada... I understood the struggles but there are lots of places in Canada is what we say livable... Hey Im alone here in Edmonton... i pay mortgage,,, i pay bills,,, i pay debts,,, i support my family back home,,,, i buy whatever i want and most of all,,, i only have one job... and look!!! Im surving for 14 years now alone... Struggles should be dealt with willingness to do what is necessary,,, hardwork and resiliency not quitting... you will still have to work hard whether you go back home or go somewhere else... at least here in Edmonton,,, you're hard work is rewarding unlike most of the countries around the world...

Oh my God, what is happening in Canada? And to think a lot of Filipinos are chosing the country as a new place to find greener pasture. This is so sad for the thousands of Filipinos and other hopeful immigrants. What is the Canadian Government doing?

They leave that to the West and the un , why should they take care of their own people? It cost money. The have a lot of money for them self

We need free groceries…\nPulls up in a dodge charger later. I think we really have a problem here. And of course that Applyboard guy is Indian for sure making lots of money recruiting students making false promises.

Lots of migrants are leaving Canada. Turd-o has ruined this country....ruined. Even Canadians are leaving Canada.

Seriously just the last 6 months an officer was shot and killed,a woman was run over at a cross walk, driver did not stop,two people were shot outside a restraunt in their car,in a mall parking lot ,and thats just stuff I've heard about , dont even get me started on the machine gun shootings nearer the border in a family area and I live in a small city in Vancouver B.C. so that rules out low crime

I know a lot of people who are going back now. People who came with a PR and have an average yearly income of 190000 cad. \n\nIndia is growing at a higher rate than Canada. Standard of live used to be better in Canada but now with high cost of living, that is changing. Medical facilities are in doldrums in which India excels. Canada needs to rethink about their policies else more educated people are gonna leave. \n\nI would rather buy a flat in Mumbai than Canada at this point.

Everybody will leave Canada and go to India ?? as their motherland since it’s growing! \nIndia ?? is booming ??????? For now Reverse migration #reversemigration✈️ is what’s trending! I own 7 companies and out of 7 we deal with leasing and financing, guess what? We getting so many loans default by professionals like Architects, IT , P.Eng, Plant Managers , POM, Directors are applying for loans over $350k and defaulting cause they all moving out of Canada ??! The hole ?️ Canada ?? has Dug is too deep to overcome plus lots of private loans for mortgage downpayments are defaulting, lots of loan payments are defaulting and 49Billion Dollars by Govt Funding for small Businesses are due now Jan 18th,2024 which is not going to get paid back so imagine what’s coming! Also not to mention lot’s of mortgages are renewing on Nov ,2024 which is locked at 1.xx% for last 4 years - well, thats going to be something ??? so in this crazy Sunami and Storm ⛈️ I dont want the kids after 12th to get swamped and wiped out of their youth while they should be enjoying their life and freedom as it should! ?

last time i was there was in late winter of 2017, there was a lot of red lights (warning signs) back then but people were euphoric because of the surge in real estate prices. the euphoria was so tangible, it felt like i was surrounded by a sect. then the mental health crises was a shocker. the rat race was worse than i remembered. i also realized how immature my generation in canada was, because in my circle barely anyone was getting attached to life long partners, ie being married. mid-sized cities felt like toronto in terms of immigrants. it was warmer. i have a feeling if i landed in toronto now it would be a late 80's eastern bloc feel to it, ie nobody believing in it anymore.

First of all PR is difficult. A lot of cold in winter and less pay, groceries high. Can’t save money

I have an international student living in my home! They come here with the intention of staying and bringing their families here! They come because they think they're going to make lots of money !

A lot of the immigrants use Canada as a stepping stone for easy access to the U. S. Through our open border.

It’s very difficult for newcomers with education and professions in their home country to get professional jobs here. A lot of former doctors, teachers, engineers, etc. end up working at Walmart or driving cabs. Yet, we often have shortages in those very professions.

Canada is not freezing during winter times at all. In all the provinces except preries the winter is average, -5/10 Celsus - that's not cold at all. Even in preries it's not always -20/30. A lot of days it's -5/10 there as well

THEY GO TO CANADA TO CLEAN THE TOILETS AND DRIVE TRUCKS THEY LOVE GORAS A LOT

Thanks a lot, Turdeau.

The word of Palestine was give by Romans not by arabs. The arabs have conquerwd everything from Mecca to Moroco and changed the names of those lands to arab names.\nThe natives, mostly black were ethnicaly cleansed.\nJudea, Israel, have some meanings, and even if the muslims dont know them, they apear in your own Quran also.\nNot because Allah decided so, but because Muhamad copied a lot of things without understanding them.

We have a lot of poor here and our seniors are going to food banks we wish we can help but we are broke and broken here in Canada

I hope you keep your channel going. I have learned a lot from you. Safe travels.

Great but not enough, we need to start deporting people, a lot of people.

Sorry but a lot of people use their children as leverage for pitty, trust me a lot of them arent coming to make a better life for their kids. They want to come and wire money back to all their friends and family back home especially if its for illegal business. They will do anything for money even if its illegal their raised JUST to make money no matter what. Women and children are at risk at being visctims to a lot of illegal activity stalkers etc. I know from experience, my home isnt a comfortable place to live due to the immigration.

Who says so, you muslim love to stay in Canada make lots of babies and screw the government for child benefits and no need to work.

High cost, crimes, expensive houses, and low pay jobs, you see that in U.S, here in Dominican rep. and a lot of other countries, idk why canada gotta be any different.

Lovely video!❤ honest and heartwarming. Everyone has a different journey overseas. While it may be hard for families who have got used to the Indian way of living, family like ours have fit in better because our starting point was overseas! But lot of power to you and your family.

Lots of hate videos on YouTube why ?

Yeah once recent immgrants have slept outside the shelter referral center for a couple of months they quickly learn that the government does not care about them. It has no ability to accommodate them and has no interest in supporting those with no jobs and no skills and barely able to speak english. Canada is a lot coldert than India nad Africa both physically and socially.

Now that a lot of people are moving out. I guess this the best time to move in because some of the problems mentioned are a demand and supply issue. I am looking at it purely from an economic perspective

I think that immigrants need to understand that until immigrants are 4th gen in Canada, they are not generally fully assimilated...Canada' brings immigrants in for their kids (second gen)...but by third gen...least successful group. Immigrants need to know that our great grandparents suffered a lot for what looks attractive today...and every successful Canadian story has started with roots of immigrants suffering, including my own forefathers. There's a naive perspective that immigrants will just automatically be Canadian with equal opportunities. Not being racist...Married an immigrant, and it threw me to first gen status in the country because of my husband's status as immigrant.

Canada still has a lot going for it. Its still top 5, 10 democracies in the world. That stability will become more important in the cominf decades

I think is the cost of living a lot of taxes every thing has taxes I’m working here also here

Indian students coming here for second rate colleges are completely unrealistic. They don't have marketable skills yet, the language skills are very poor. It takes a lot of effort to succeed. A student visa is not the golden ticket to prosperity. \nDo your research before you come. \nMake a serious effort to speak english that can be understood. \nBe honest about your motivation. \nMy parents chose Canads. \nOnce you move here that is your home country. No one forced anyone to move here.

After visiting india last december I'm seriously thinking of moving back. The differences that lured you to move to the west is getting slimmer and slimmer every day. You see India changing , roads infrastructure, internet . If you can get a good enough job back in India is it worth moving abroad? \nThe work life balance you gain by working in the west is actually a trap. You have to do a lot of chores by yourselves whereas in India you can hire someone easily to do it for you.

There is no such thing as a Canadian resume format ? And the Canadian work experience hesitancy also comes from experience. Lots of very creative shcools and resumes and very creative interviews. One positve is about Canada is we don't suffer liars. You want someone who came from a fly by night school working for you, or operating as your doctor?

It's pointless to apply for Canadian immigration. It takes years to review and costs a lot of money. If you just show up in Canada as an illegal immigrant or refugee, your application will be free and fast tracked. You will also receive financial support from the government. So immigration is not declining. Just the legitimate types. Just ask any Canadian taxpayer for more details.

I think Canada should stop application from India because a lot of Indians do not contribute to Canadian economies, instead they just want to get the Canadian passport to enable themselves to use the health system of Canada

There are a lot of vacancies on YouTube

I would rather be in Canada than any third world country. A lot of people in the third world countries want to move to Europe or USA because their country don thave nothing to offer them.

Uncontrolled immigration led to this....\n\nSmall bunch of immigrants owning a lot of property... Extorting money..

Wow I see videos about this on Youtube. I did this 30 years ago and never going back. The cost of living mainly bz of GST just launched my move. I see so many complainers but they don't move????? When I moved many called me a trader yes trader. Now a lot of them have moved to.

This is TRUE. It's just a TRAP. They are using greener pasture scam of study first. I myself have applied and have already wasted almost $11,000 just for the application since 2013 with IELTS of 8.0. I have taken multiple IELTS since it always expires every 2 years. And I havent heard anything from Canada. Then came the pandami and I don't have any monetary funds at all. I don't have any intention of continuing my application as Canada just squeezed out the money out of me. I could have just used that money to help other people. I'll just be staying in my country so my country could be a lot prosperous than a country who uses education just to SCAM expats.

True Canada of USA us not for le who are lazy and have no ambición, want everything easy.\ni.e for iazy Indians who want everything easy and with rishwat debe kam karna etc.\nStay in India with lots of ways too make money with corruption.\nUSA AND XANADA IS NOT FOR THEM

Indians should stop going abroad for work. There is lot of opportunities in our country

Thanks so much for this ma, please ma my question now Is my uncle will be sponsoring my study, can he use his business bank statement to sponsor me,he is the sole signatory to the account , the business has CAC certificates,tax clearance certificate and i have his ID card and birth certificate that matches with my mom as a proof of relationship but can't find any pictures of them together because I have lost my mum long time ago.i hope i can use him ma. \n\nSecondly ma, can i apply together with my kids with this sponsored account, this account has more than enough to sponsor us ma.\nThanks so much your response means a lot to me ma.

Canada is good if you have LOT of money. Not fit for most middle class Indians anymore.

Country is very bad now....Trudeau let people I'm without building affordable homes, people sleep on parking lots now

People go there leaving and putting all the money. And then come back here. I have seen lot of people.

No surprise there, \n\nCanada is NOT attractive to migrants anymore due to multiple reasons.\n\nSoon a 1 bedroom apartment will probably cost 5000$/month for rent in the Major Cities making it impossible to settle here for newcomers.\n\nThe healthcare system has serious problems due to a lack of Doctors and Nurses who left for better paying jobs in US or Europe.\n\nIf you need immediate Specialist care you will probably have to pay hundreds of dollars just to see someone in the Private sector because the Public Health System has huge waiting lists and is understaffed.\n\nYou won’t be able to get a Government Family Doctor because the remaining ones have thousands of patients already so they’re swamped.\n\nYou can wait even 10 years for a Family Doctor and still won’t get one.\n\nYou can’t be bumped up on waiting lists for Doctors or Specialists even if you are in a critical condition because you aren’t a Celebrity / Politician / Millionaire.\n\nOnly those with a lot of money, status, power get immediate medical attention in case of an emergency.\n\nMost of the traditional medical costs like and eye exam, treating an ingrown toe nail, Physiatrie treatment are NOT covered by the Provinces anymore so you will have to pay out of pocket hundreds of dollars again.\n\nSome Provinces are already copying the US healthcare system which is 100% Private and for profit so don’t be surprised if you you’re gonna have to pay even for an infusion.\n\nThe minimum wage is only 15$/hour in most provinces when in reality you need at least 40$/hour to survive the ridiculous cost of living.\n\nYour typical salary will go 45% to taxes and 45% to rent leaving almost nothing for food / bills / gas / insurance etc. \n\nYou will struggle to make ends meet and possibly starve a week or two every month just to say that you’re “Canadian” \n\nThat is the sad reality but Canada is in a deep hole right now.\n\nUK is in a similar situation too.

oh no! Canadian businesses, will lose their cheap, subsidized, foreign labor, and will have to educate and pay their own citizens. the Housing crisis is a result of corrupt local government, manipulating the housing market, with frivolous codes and regulations, plenty of land, just a lot of corruption

Need a lot of money to purchase housing here, unless youre willing to love outside the main cities nad popular areas
