Moving from BC to Alberta in the pursuit of home ownership. I currently live on Vancouver Island, where the avg price of a single family detached home is about $700,000USD. Home ownership had become a real luxury for the millennial middle class, its simply not affordable, Vancouver is worst with an avg price now I think of 1mil USD.\n\nThe house market is going to implode in BC. Keep an eye on it ?. Its coming, thats why I'm running away lol.

Calling a province in Canada the worst is an insult to everyone who has to live in exploding shitholes. There isn't a contest here, as much as the dipshits in charge want you to think. Man oh man is our society fucked.

if you live in a third world country like me, the worst provinces in this country is still the best for me

Alberta is the worst province, it's Canada's texas

This video is a LIE Quebec is a racist backward shithole.\n50% of Montreal is on welfare or unemployment.\nThere are not jobs in Quebec and no businesses.\nThe roads are the worst in Canada\nMontreal is the most corrupt city in Canada

When Canadas worst province is better than the USAs best state you know it's a good country!

yay I live in the worst province

Amazed that they put QC at 1! I live in QC and would beg to differ that it is the best province in fact I think it's one of the worst places in North America!

I'm pretty sure I saw haifax had one of the worst crime stats in the country

It's called Winterpeg for a reason. Honestly though, as a lifelong Canadian, listing the worst places in Canada is like listing the worst flavours of ice cream.

Do top ten worst countries in the world

Canada’s Worst Province = US’ Best State ?

My list is just Quebec as the worst literally because French. If there's a lot of French anything, it's the worst automatically lol

having driven across canada, manitoba, particularly winnipeg, is the worst slum ive ever seen in my life: worse than any american ghetto and even third world countries

in my opinion, the Canadian provinces are more balanced than the American states in terms of which is the best and which is the worst

Next you should do, worst to best cities in Canada

Let me guess Manitoba is the worst and Quebec is the best \nEdit: oh my gosh I cannot believe I was actually correct I was about to change my answer for the best province to Alberta or British Columbia.

The Canadian MEDICAL SYSTEM GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS BUREAUCRACY AND CULTURE IS THE WORST DEVELOPED MOST CURRUPT COUNTRY I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HAVE BEEN A CITIZEN HERE FOR 25YRS

Canada is what you make of it. You can arrive rich and end up poor and you can arrive poor and end up rich. In between that, you can have a great life that balances your needs. I’ve seen immigrants succeed simply because they see the opportunity in front of them . They worked hard in their own counties to stay just above the poverty line ,but when they apply that same effort here it pays off ten times greater. I feel that compared to a lot of immigrants, natural born Canadians come across as spoiled and a little lazy…we are. We haven’t had to struggle the same way someone from a poorer country might have. I’ve talked to people who’ve worked ten to twelve hours a day just to stay afloat. If you did that here you could make plenty of money to live and have some left over. As far as owning a house goes,yes it’s expensive . I feel that homeownership in any country is relatively expensive. Here is a tip; use that soaring home prices to your advantage. Houses are expensive but you can make a lot of money buying and selling. I recommend putting together a buyers group and share the house for a few years, then sell at a profit, buy a bigger house or two smaller houses.try to buy the worst house in the best neighbourhood and fix it up slowly . That house could double in value in five or six years in the Toronto market. This is nothing new of course ,the people from India and China seem to do this a lot here ,it drives up prices and profits. On the downside to this ,you are now part of the problem. As the housing prices are driven up the non wealthy can no longer afford to own a house . They are at the mercy of high rents with no rewards of ownership. They are caught in a cycle of hard work and (relative)poverty. This could also be you if you can’t keep up the house payments and are forced to rent.\nHow well you speak English is important but your native language is also useful here because Canada is half immigrants . As a Canadian that speaks only english (Irish descent)I have to say to all newcomers that I’m very impressed that you have learned a new language and that you may even speak more than two! Don’t be embarrassed about your abilities . I find that in my experience , Canadians do not look down on people just because they don’t know English. In fact ,I’ve known people that have lived here for decades and still know very little English. They are comfortable in their communities and they function just fine. Learn as much English as suits your needs and be proud of any gains you make.\nOutside of Toronto are other cities that you might consider when looking at southern Ontario.From my experience,most are generally the same, just not as big . There are large immigrant communities in London Ontario, Hamilton and just outside of Toronto where housing is just a little bit less expensive but the commute to work is probably longer. This is just my opinion but in the small towns there are less people of colour , (which is what people of no colour call everyone else . I wonder if I’m called a person of no colour in some other culture ? LoL ). That might make it harder for you to feel integrated ,if that’s what you want. I’m not saying that people from other cultures can’t make it in a small town , I’m just saying that it’s definitely not Toronto . Here, people of any nationality can feel like they have a place where they can belong . It seems that no matter where you are from ,there is a community already here that’s set up restaurants and stores and clothing shops and newcomer support systems. And if your from Portugal or China or India or Africa or the Middle East, there are large groups of your kin here that have established roots for generations and you probably know this already.\nToronto means meeting place and that becomes evident quickly. I was born here and it’s one of the things I love the most about my city. I’m not going to say that there isn’t systemic racism here ,the people of no colour still kind of keep the top position , but as we become a minority in a decade or so ,I hope that will shift to a broader spectrum. It’s certainly happening already. One good thing is that the police department tries to hire people of colour so that racialism may play a smaller role. We’re getting used to seeing our politicians more and more reflect their constituents.\nI have to talk about the weather. Because I’m from here I’m used to the extremes of minus thirty and plus thirty . Eventually you get used to it (somewhat). Dressing in the right clothes is important. Summer is easy , but winter is different. It’s trying to kill you. Spend the most that you can afford on winter cloths . If you can afford a quality parka you should get one. The hood can be drawn around the face and stay out of the wind.\nIf not ,think of layers with a outer layer that blocks the wind. We have things called long Johns that are basically full length thick cotton or nylon pants that go on under your pants and a pair of extra thick socks. Buy your boots to fit your thick socks. Try to get the best boots you can afford ,it’s something that you might spend a little extra for but never regret.\nAll in all we are a fairly organized and peaceful society. Most people are friendly and will give you a chance . We have a good social safety net here and you don’t have to be homeless or starving if you don’t want to. There are people and organizations set up to help ,that truly try to get people back on their feet. It’s a good investment that pays off in ways that matter for the quality of life in a big city. I’m not putting my American neighbours down when I say they do things differently. They have their ways ,we have ours. This is just something that we do because we’re trying to learn how to help those that society has discarded or can’t find their place. Sure we have one or two areas where the homeless have pitched tents and we have some resources for them if they want. Unfortunately The mayor recently forced a small camp to move from a very visible place to more scattered locations. There were social workers involved as well as protesters trying to protect them. I didn’t like that happening and I want to see even more resources dedicated to them ,but on the other hand ,we are trying to avoid something like what happens on the streets when it’s just ignored. When I see YouTube videos of the streets of Philadelphia I’m extremely saddened. I thank the lucky stars that I was born in Toronto Canada.\nFor all it’s pollution and expense and crowds ,I think it’s a great place to do almost anything your heart desires . For every ugly building there is a beautiful park ,for every honked horn there is a birds call , for every cold and dark day there is beautiful sunny one around the corner.

Tradeau is the worst Government, Canada has ever seen

Canada immigration is worst in the world you cant even bring your wife and relative the land of broken dreams.

It's so sad that the US spends so much more on health care than any nation in the world yet we have the worst healthcare in the world and then just up north is Canada who has among the best healthcare in the world and they spend so much less than we do

I've heard the the us Death Rate is more higher than that and the us has one of the worst health care in the world so you would expect a higher death rate no offence ofcourse

Internayionally registered nurse here but moving in Canada and work as a nurse is worst. They will require u a lot assessments and ask to go back to school.In other countries except Cañada u just pass there exam and u can practice ur profession right away like US and European countries

Worst president and prime minister ever!

The worst thing is your supervisor have a right to do in your sin number,thats why so many people can work under pressure they afraid to speak their right

You work harde only 3 weeks of holiday, more than 55% of your salary, will be Taxes and Insurance. After that very difficult to buy a house and to keep some money for any Project. And the worst part after 60 years you'll discover that the retirement is not enough, and you have to keep working.

So true and precisely on point.? I myself has experience worst case scenario

The worst usa version ever

You guys need to explain why Canada's waiting line is so long. Canada prioritizes the patients into the worst conditions first like cancer over a broken leg. Canada wants to save everyone and not leave any canadians behind, america is all about leaving americans behind to die to cant afford healthcare and to not being able to make a decent living. America is all about letting their own die. It wont change. Selfishness is america.

Reality of Canada - Very bad weather - freezing with gusty winds with \nsnow or ice ,get ready to shovel alot of snow in winter, winter type \nweather is for 8 months, very high price of house plus other high \nexpenses which are unaffordable like on an average house price is \nmillion dollars plus other expenses makes you 12,000$ per month which \nyou will not get easily as salary, high rents also almost 1700$ for one \nbhk ,whereas on an average you can make 2000 $ /month , high car \ninsurance plus high phone plus interntet plus grocery , no taste of \nindian vegetable & indian food ,its a big problem if you are a \nvegetarian, no specific job industry & 97% warehouse jobs which pay \nlittle also 99% sardars drive truck but truck is a very hard job esp in\n winter ,very hard to get good paying jobs & other jobs fon't pay \nthat much only illiterate people can do , no social life ,even no \npersonal life as women become very weird after coming to canada & \nlots of divorces happens in indian people after coming to canada, people\n of canada are very dead & shows no emotions like indians are . when\n kids grow up they have no feelings fo rtheir parents in canada as they \ndon't know what is indian culture , super worst medical system with 20 \nhours waiting in emergency plus doctors will never give you any medicine\n due to legal fear also you will never get timely treatment or even a \nmedicine like india, also specialist doctor appointments will take 6 \nmonths in canada while you can see specialist doctor daily if you want \nin india , dental & eye is private but very costly only if you have \nwork insurance, no servants or maids like india so you have to all jobs \nlike cleaning house, cooking, laundry ,dishwashing by yourself even if \nyou are coming from 8 hour job which is very tiring , canada is only \nheaven for punjabis for others they have to be very careful

Beshak boht kharabiyan hain Pakistan main pr jab gar main kharabiyan ho gar chor kr bahaga nhi jata. Un kharabiyon ko thek krny ke koshish ke jati hai. I respect your decision of migration. But you are portraying Pakistan like it's the worst country to live in. I live here and i am happy to be here. Running away isn't going to solve the problems. However if you are not a patriot then it's okay.

Mr. Ashir, I am a fan since Duhaan series. I don't doubt your integrity and sincere effort for uplift of community here. But please don't intice our countrymen with a rosy picture, that you luckily had here. It's easier to say than done. We uproot ourselves, leave elders helpless and risk loosing faith in coming generations. North America is worst.

Sir the way you have explained the Canadian community n country I am regretting to be in Pakistan not bcoz of Pakistan as a country but the government, who has no concern what so ever with the quality of life. The brucracy is the worst part of the country they humility our society with e connivence of Govt. I am an advocate of high court n feel myself helpless n hopeless to change the system

CANADÁ SOCIAL IS BETTER THAN USA..!!!! I LOVE CANADÁ AND USA ..BOTH BETTER THAN BRAZIL...!!! IN SPITE OF USA SOCIAL PROBLEM' S HAS POINTS VERY VERY BAD HOW ABOUT :CRIMES , HOMELESS AND BIG ( DISTANCE ABOUT RICH AND POOR . THE WORST ABOUT INDUSTRIAL COUNTRIES !!!! ?????

I dont think it is a good decision to move to canada or any other western country. Western countries are worst than our country. Atleast you freely pray salah unlike us who are scared to go to masjid. I will move back to pakistan soon Inshallah

To get the most benefit from North America (USA & Canada) migrate while you are as young as possible. Possibly get some education from the system too. Additionally, migrate with your entire family (spouse their parents, children & your parents). Works as hard as you can. USA & Canada rewards hard work and education. Worst is when the family is split.

Rights\nHow can we talk about equality when ALL women NOT only indiginius are disrespect on a daily basis for 50+yrs & no diff today but on surfacees only\nFrom all country and our Cdn all 3levels of government to every board room dusrespect is almost high 5’d by men in these positions! When they put down a supposedly equal woman on same board! Is tolerated n meeting goes on! Why? Yes even seen by myself @Wpg city Hall etc. \nA problem we talk as if it has been resolved & it has not!!\nThis is even obvious In my own senior 55+ housing - as I & other women on board witnessed in silence bulling from the men on the board who see this inappropriate treatment from mgmnt & their employee A disrespect in board room is unacceptable by other board members but from Mgmnt too?! \nSo HOW can we expect any respect to be given to ALL women nevermind expect it to our aboriginal women who have had the worst of it for 50+ yrs is not ok but tolerated and is a serious “women” ‘females’ our ‘girls’ mothers sisters n daughters !

Go back to you country...worst insult ever!!\nthis guy deserves that for working in other nations instead of doing in his native land...

Poor Thing.. Great Country with Worst Citizens..

I gave up on the test. It's one of the worst designed things I've ever encountered. It starts off reasonable, but then it gets entirely convoluted. I constantly forgot which buttons to push. What I did notice, however, is the choice of pictures of European Americans versus African Americans. The facial expressions are NOT neutral in my opinion. A bigger sample size would help as well.

From overwhelming amounts of bad experience: Generational abuse, damages, corruption, delusion, speaking and acting with certainty, even indisputable while other possibilities exist - creating more and more conflict and damages and time being wasted, is life in Canada. The Canadians who have taken power and control over and upon others and childrens lives, have sabotaged so many lives, have corrupted reasonableness, logic, and needed care. Many Canadian children have been and are still being tortured, trafficked, profited on, and poisoned. Victims are now disabled, expected to heal themselves often while still feeling tortured, and are largely left to continue to suffer while the majority basically looks the other way, works to party, play, go on vacations and such, and basically refuses to understand what went wrong, where it went wrong, and where it's going wrong, in childhood. This's why I think most don't get it and why Canada doesn't have smart people, and why people ask why from others instead of figuring it out or should already know the answer if so-called adults were competent and actually helpful. The ugly truth is that Canadians don't know how to raise children all that well - day after day, year after year, generation after generation. Emotional and physical damages are often permanent; one a child or a person is poison and traumatise, there's no coming back. Canada at large is still one of the worst human violators on this planet and there is really no end in sight for child abuse because it's not Canada's top priority.

Why is everyone surprised Canada has immigration laws??? We do not hate ppl who want a life in Canada but you need to inform yourself properly before actually showing up here.Canada’s immigration system is not unnecessarily strict like the us, but that doesn’t equate to anyone coming here. There is no false hope. Also Vancouver is literally the worst place for an immigrant/ refugee to start their lives; way too expensive.
