I am curious to know how many people under 30, who are from Canada, still see their future here? or are planning to move to another country. I am in my 40s, and watch every day as justin gives away everything I have worked for in my life. I will be selling my home soon, most probably to an immigrant family, because the cost of existing here has become way too high. FYI.... as a CANADIAN I dont have another country I call home and can go back to once Canada is completely fucked.

IT'S A HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER, TO TAKE PEOPLE OFF OF WELFARE AND HELP THEM, WITH ON THE JOB TRAINING, FOR CANDIAN COMPANIES ALREADY ASTABLISHED!!!\n\nTHEN THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING, IN THE TRADES AND HAVE A JOURNEYMAN STATUS, TRAIN THEN TO BECOME BUSINESS OWNERS, CREATING MORE JOBS FOR THE NEW PEOPLE BEING TRAINED IN THAT FIELD!!!\n\nIN STEAD OF HANDING OUR BUSINESSES OVER TO FOREIGNERS AND HAVE CANADIANS WORKING FOR THEM, HAVE THE NEW COMERS, WORKING FOR CANADIAN BUSINESSES!!!\n\n\nBETTER TO BE YOUR OWN BOSS, THAN TO BE WORKING FOR SOMEONE, THAT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT CANADA AND IT'S PEOPLE!!!

When campaigning Sockboy said he was going to change Canada...and hated old stock Canadians...Canadians as usual were fixated by bs, his looks, legalizing weed etc....deserve everything that has happened....further, Canadians don't have the balls to correct things nor take him to task..

Canada will surely havte even more professional labour shortage in specific filed, IT people will leave Canada for USA . Universities have hard time recruiting and maintaining qualified professors bc even 120000 a year for Toronto and Vancouver are no longer sufficient to buy a house.

Hi chorkor,\nThank you so much for this very valuable information. I think its left for the individual who has already acquired the visitor's visa and with dual intent, to decide if they will bear the consequences of going to the boring locations where jobs are available. Unless someone going to Canada to socialise vs being on a sole mission to work and have something to take back home. Poverty in Africa is real my brother. For most people they have seen the worst in their home country, and they are at a stage where they will accept to work in those 'boring' places. \nEven if there is no 'mad man' to keep one company, at least the remote places have work. That might just be treasure to someone who had nothing back home but raw poverty.\n\nThank you Sir, and God bless you for helping us with information.

It's all Justin Trudeau and his failured policies. He's also turning Canada into a communist hellscape.

NOT moving to Canada was the best decision in my life.

Thanks you for your information\nHow can i apply for job in Canada please let me know?

What is the benefit of coming to Canada now? \nWhen Canada opened up in the seventies, there were many advantages to coming to Canada. Back then there was a lot of work in the lumber industry in western Canada and big factories in eastern Canada. In those days, if you were willing to do any work, you would get a job within 8-10 days. \nIn 1990, a bachelor apartment went for $500 a month and a one-bedroom was $600 a month. \nAlmost all would get their 3-4 bedroom house within 10 years. \nGroceries used to be so cheap that $200 a month could support the entire family. The telephone bill was $10 per month. A Vancouver-Toronto bus ticket was only $100. \nSchool education was good, children had to give exams. It used to be very easy to see a doctor. Buses were less crowded. \nNow the standard of education has gone down so much that children become like robots after finishing school. If you have to go to the hospital, you have to wait for 8-10 hours to see the doctor. \nNew immigrants find basements for shelter. Getting your own house has become a dream now. Those who have bought houses will have to pay the mortgage for a long time. Many homeowners are paying interest only, there is no reduction in the principal. \nBus service is so sparse that sometimes more than 100 passengers wait for a 38-seater bus. \nInternational students are in a very bad situation. Spend 25-30 lakhs, live 4-5 together in basements and do hard labor jobs (warehousing, retail cashier, security). Even if they do 2 years diploma they do not get any good job, only minimum wage jobs. \nThose with good jobs or jobs (income of eighty thousands or more) should come to Canada with a lot of thought, because when they come here, they are all considered workers and they have to find low-paying jobs and have to live in often in basements. \nProf. Kuldip Pelia \nSurrey, Canada

Ol Indian live to Canada India have no problem the have evrithing

Canada was never a dream. Very Boring….

So many immigrants are coming to Canada which prices go up like crazy which makes some immigrants leave

Moved to canada in 2006. My dad recently left canada and I’m next to leave. Cost of living hasn’t kept up with my career.

Canada is a crap hole.

Fine, let them go. Basically Canada should offer three choices for immigrants:\n\n1) bring in enough money with you to enjoy a good life\n\n2)work hard after arriving to make enough money and enjoy a good life\n\n3) leave Canada if you don’t have money and don’t want to work hard for a good life.\n\nNo one should be entitled to a good life, especially when they just arrived. the last thing we need is to pay for people to immigrate and stay here. We should have the same standard for everyone, no matter where they are from.

I left Canada to Mexico 5 years ago. Rent 500 USD for 2 bedroom furnished apartment at sea side. My grocery 300 USD per month including food and drinks. Car insurance 400 USD a year. Working online.

Not surprised. Canada terribly managed.

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...

Dam this hit deep. I lived in Canada like all my life, 5-28. Been in the USA, 28-32. I moved to the USA, to work as a Engineer , fly back 3 months every year to Canada. All that you guy's said hit so deep. Its so true! ??

Don’t get it? Canada is a springboard to move to the U.S.

There is no good place to live in Canada unless you’re an illegal immigrant and get everything for free , if you work ,, move out of Canada !

Canada is unsustainable with no housing and high taxation.

I am from Germany. I used to think Canada is the best country in North America. Too many immigrants?

Canada like the US is more concern about the economy and human rights of other countries. Paying billions to finance the wars far away from home.

Everywhere is difficult not Canada alone ??‍♂️

Canada is totally overrated by the canadian government imigration propaganda. It has been trapping naive people all around the world. It could be called SCAMNADA.\nBasicly the whole canadian population live very close the US border due the miserable freezing endeless drepressing 9 months cold weather. Nobody wants go north. Freezing weather makes life unbearable and extremely expensive.

The main reason behind why groceries, furniture and every kind stuff costs so high in Canada compared to other countries is because, every product that is imported to Canada is like 4k super high quality of stuff. Like let's say for example other countries imports products that are like 720p or even 480p. But people who didn't live out of Canada will never understand this from every single home product to brick to material of every kind in Canada is of 4k quality. So, maintaince of those is 5x times to 10x times more. That's why everything costs so much. If you buy like 10kg of let's say an Indian brand of flour that costs 15 Canadian dollars. Same product will cost you in other places no less than 5-7 dollars. You know why? Because another reason is imported food and materials to Canada is very expensive as well. On top of that the size of the whole country. It's huge. With being most least densely populated country. You add up the transportation costs, the higher quality of the products. Everything adds up.

.... Born and raised in Canada ... Don't like it here ? ... Bye Bye ! ...

Canada is overrated. People is calling it Scamnada for a good reason.

I would leave Canada too if I can find a country that has good healthcare and low cost of living.

Born and raised in Canada, about to become a doctor. Leaving Canada because the healthcare system is collapsing and overworking doctors

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.

And Car theft has become a pandemic in Canada too!

As a woman that wants to come to Canada on a visitor Visa, what kind of job would u advise her to look for, that will make it easier for her to get a work permit.?

Many people tend to give a completely hopeless negative review of Canada. It was good to see someone making a balanced review based in reality and making both positive and negative assessment of life in Canada. Sadly you couldnt succeed in Canada. Hope you get to have a great life in India.

Canada has been complacent for decades. The chickens have come to roost.\nKudos for this man for putting it simply. Canada is a great place to live...if you can find a place to live.

There's a homeless crises in Canada. WTF!! Are you inviting more people in to add the homeless crises. OR ARE THEY BEING HOUSED IN SHELTERS...AND CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE THESE SHELTERS ARE...CAUSE EVERYONE I GO TO IS FULL.

Yes, it is completely different mostly opposite of what I have been told about Canada that led me till here wasting all my vast amount of money for unworthy thing. Looks like I was being scammed. Just scammed before arriving here and after arriving here as well. Sorry to say that but its true.

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

Canada is a dump!\nI left in January from this overprized freezer.

Not recently but always it was different from what you hear about Canada.\nHowever, high costs of living are gone up at every country.\nI left Canada two years ago for a job in Europe. Prices went up here as well.\nBut one thing that is different: I came as engineer, I work as engineer. In Canada, that's impossible. As soon as you have an accent, you are considered as not qualified for the job. It like you are applying for the English teacher not engineer. It's hard for adults to change the accent. That's why it's easier to leave.

I guess they don't realize what's happening in Canada or the rest of the world

canada sucks .its going downhill . people with education and talents are leaving.canadians always say sorry coz their re active not pro active forward thinkers like americans

Western countries must keep migrants out! The invasion since Biden stole the American presidential election is destroying the USA and soon Canada as well. It’s like pulling people onto a sinking life raft. Everyone winds up dead!

As someone who lived in Quebec for 8 years, I can say that Canada has an undeservedly good image abroad. It's a trap for immigrants, where they suck out all their savings and energy. In reality, it's not even a state, it's a corporation where monopolies and associated corrupt politicians rule the roost. Lack of preventive healthcare, huge taxes, unbelievably high prices compared to incomes for everything from food to housing, outdated infrastructure... I hope to find the ways to leave here soon.

I was born in Canada.....used to an awsome country,,,rent was low....good health care..no encampments,,, the liberal government treats migrants better than there own civilians

For those that says that Canada Sucks, go to Any country in Latin America and you will test the ugly truth, if we compare those Hispanic countries with Canada, CANADA IS THE PARADISE, I've been living many years in Mexico, and let me tell you something, taxes are really high there as well, in any job they fire you with no previous advise, and about safety is on the floor, d4ed people everyday, g@nsh0ts, m4f!a, k!dn4p!ng in every normal day, you cannot go out alone in the night or at any hour, so Canada is not perfect but is much more better than docenes of other countries, including European countries....

...majority of people who came to Canada in the last 10 years ...settled much faster that those living here for a long time ..

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.

Bro can’t give an interview in English being a student from Canada. No wonder he returned
