Home prices are on the up in pretty much everywhere in the developed world. But it's true it's more extreme in Canada. I don't see a major housing crash anytime soon and so home ownership will remain inaccessible to a large portion of the population. That said some measures could be taken to calm the market, for example, banning HELOC's would take away some liquidity from the market and thus less speculators. Also producing public housing accessible to a wide range of incomes, with some conditions (like how they do it in Austria) should be a mandate in all provinces similar to the way healthcare is. These measures may not be a long term solution but they certainly can help the next couple of generations.

Aur jao Canada for settling. I knew this is what they have to go through. It's not worth it.

Every would-be student who thinks Canada is a better country to live better think 500 times, not just twice. In 2024, if you moved to Canada, you will not only be living in poverty for decades. Stay away. 20, 30 years ago I would have said the opposite but not anymore. You will be met with the worst shock of your life that you won't be able to recover from unless you go home to your country of origin or consider other countries to study in or move to.

depends your in what province...im Bc recently moved from Kenya. its very expensive to live here but if you choose not to live a precious life you going to be better. when you want to come to Canada don't use agents, they will drain your cash and when you get here your broke. if you work in Canada wisely you'll own a property.\nhere we've high tax...we are charged tax in everything its getting harder to live here, if you don't have proper preppers and somewhere to stay. \nlife is good here depends with who your engaging with, and lots jobs are here.\n in General Canada needs people who brings value that matches the economy. any skill if in use wisely pays.

You say why no one wants to live in Canada while the population in Canada continues to increase. Problems with housing started years before Trudeau was elected and continued to get worse and the Conservatives are just as culpable and are using it as a political tool. I guess you haven’t looked at how much it costs per month to cover a family for health care in the USA and that’s after spending thousands because of deductibles before you even get covered and only if you can afford a policy that covers 100%. Pie in the sky is for suckers.

Whoever is thinking out moving out of Canada, do us Canadians a favour and do it. Now. \nThanks :)

welcome to canada … aur jao ???

Wrong not 500 000 immigrants its closer to 1.5 million when you include temporary workers in just a year. For a country with 40 million people that is a huge increase. Trudeau admits it sure but he does not take responsibility. He is directly responsible for the policies that created this situation. It is impossible to find affordable rent in Canada.

As someone who has lived in europe and traveled allot. Most people really dont appreciate the positives in canada and have a false understanding on what it really is like growing up and having a family in most parts of the world. Canada is not perfect and has many issues but most people have no idea how ppl libe in rest of the world.

Deport all illegal immigrants since 2008 in USA, Canada, Europe, Australia

TURDEAU HAS TURNED CANADA INTO A F-ING CIRCUS

I never realized how fragile Democracy and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms are in Canada untill Trudeau.

Why do we need more houses? Why when the natural growth of Canada is only coming from immigration. So now we use taxpayers dollars to pay for more housing that immigrants are moving into. But it’s Canadians money not theirs. But now they get it for free!!!! It’s that sjmple

The problem with Canada's economy, and all the economies of the world, is the corrupt FIAT debt-money system they ALL use. And that they are all governed by corrupt WEF rich oligarch elite minions that have been groomed over the years by sociopaths like Klaus Schwab...........................

Slowing down Treasonous Trudeau's immigration policy would be akin to Troy closing the gate after pulling in the Trojan Horse- TOO LATE - they're already in! I suspect the result for Canada will also be akin to Troy.

Don’t even recognize Canada. I walk into the emergency room at my local hospital and I think I’m in another country

I honestly think he and his ilk have deliberately set out to destroy Canada, after all the liberal party is a Quebec based party so, if you can’t win a sovereignty vote just destroy the country your part of?! They are doing a bangup fantastic job of it!

Trudeau the dictator has literally destroyed Canada. The most smug, arrogant, narcissistic, wasteful and incompetent PM in Canadian history.

Another question I seek answers to is how many people have left Canada so many are gone and more say they are going?

Everyone in Canada wants Trudau out, I live here!

HE'S THE MORON THAT CAUSED ALL THIS IN CANADA ??!!

Canada is in complete ruins

The US is still sending their citizens up to Canada to buy drugs here. If they really care about their citizens, they should get off their duffs and cut the drug patent time down in half (from 10 years down to 5 for generic medicines could be made).\n\nWith US citizens scooping up pharmaceuticals here, it ends up raising up the price in Canada as availability takes a hit.

I am a naturalized Canadian citizen. Born and raised here. I totally understand why you would want to leave. Canada is broken. ! Thank god I am nearing retirement. As soon as I get my Pensions ( money I have contributed all of my life ) I'm out of here.....reason # 8, Tired of freezing my ass off.

Lol Vanouver is the homeless capital of Canada. Have you been to East Hastings? That's more homeless people than all of Toronto

Canada you can have them all :)

Nobody wants to live in Canada because the government has a control fetish and has been swept up on totalitarianism. Nothing in this country is worth staying for.

The Trojan horse is in Canada.\nIt’s going to get way way worse.

Homeless capital of Canada is Vancouver

Justin Trudeau is destroying canada ?. I graduated from Computer Science 2 years ago and I can’t find work.

Hi bro!thankyou so much,you are 100% correct. According to statistics, 70% of assylum seekers fail to be granted in Canada. The worst part of it is that our African brothers dt fo enough research. The assylum pendamic has been abused tremendously because people dt know the meaning of assylum. God bless ya bro!

TLDR; I am an person from a wartorn, oppressive country, and I unfortunately do not have many options to choose from other than Canada to have a chance for a better life.\n\nLet me tell you from the perspective of a person whose dream is to come to Canada: I know all this already, I know things are going terribly and the cost of living has gone up significantly. But the unfortunate thing is, the country I am from, is currently in turmoil. I do not fit in there as a person and hate the culture. Its incredibly corrupt with no growth. I am more western, and open minded, and my original country is a strict Islamic country. I do not fit there at all.\n\nI know Canada has all these problems, but its my only choice for a better future, I dont want to go to US because I dont wanna die, also, EU wont accept me unless I am from EU myself or speak their language which is a catch 22. Australia is also becoming a shithole. That leaves Canada and NZ. NZ doesnt have that good of job prospects and limited scope and I love Canada, always have. The weather and everything that comes with it.\n\nYes its not perfect, but I think its more about knowing that I can go back to a place, that is not dangerous for me and my future family, where I will get good care if I am stable job wise. Once I am in Canada, I will probably buy my own land and use that to have a trailer home there since they are still cheap, save my money, and probably retire in Philippines. \n\nI dont believe everyone else should do that and yes I know trailer's costs depreciates with time, unlike a house, but I dont care about that. I dont think of houses as investment and I never will nor I will participate in that practice. Everyone has a right for home.

Canada is not livable. Housing affordability is gone. Doctor waiting time is hillarious. Also law and order is deteriorating rapidly. Going to sell my house and move to Malaysia. For good.

Human trafficking. Canada's economy is based on a ponzi scheme luring millions of victims in to rip them off their life savings .

Canada and the West, in general, need to look to Singapore for a system that works\n\n- Focus on Budget Surpluses- to provide long term political and monetary stability (aka not spending more than they take in)\n- Mandatory High Savings rate (due to CPF, a mandatory savings program that operates like Social Security but doesnt put the cost burden on the next generation)\n- Focus Low Taxes - to attract businesses and incentivize growth\n- A focus on Home Ownership (to make sure citizen have a stake in the country- this leads to more stability)\n- Strong Rule of Law

Toronto has changed and not for the better.? Canada has changed and not for the better.

Wiping out Canada's forests, wetlands, natural habitats is not the responsible thing to do!! We as a species need to reduce our numbers. We need to live in balance with nature and all the other life on this planet.

There is a hidden collective agenda from the leaders in Canada, USA and EU countries. These countries are all suffering from massive inflow of unscanned immigrants and illegal migrants.

Too many Indians in Canada !! Wtf . Why isn’t America ???

Canada only USE the imigrants,not taking care of them.Just like USA.Just like any country..

Truturd wants Canada to turn into Haiti

Canada will become the new India unfortunately..?

I ruled out Canada for relocation long ago!

Accepting more Palestinian families, less Chinese, to find new lives in Canada ?? not only makes sense in terms of national security but also in morals.

The immigration policy in Canada has destroyed the country!!

All this worries me and i already got my work permit to come to Canada. I have a job lined up already when i get there, what are my chances of ending up homeless?
