I don't think the students are the problem for housing. They just need to build more housing. i see land here.

We need full story. Justice should prevail.\nFile a complaint and update full details with outcome....otherwise delete the video.\nRecording video like this against the consent from the officials may cause problems unless there is a justifiable reason(Here context is missing).

The simple answer he fails to point out, Arab countries refuse to accept a single Palestinian because they are too much trouble. \nPalestinian‘s cause problems no matter where they go. Look at what they did in JORDAN what they did in LEBANON and other places.

So if the problem is international student numbers are too high, who is to blame? Does each post-secondary institution monitor and limit the students that they take in? Should this be regulated by the govt or should the onus be placed on each PSI to ensure that for each int'l student they accept, they must ensure they have adequate access to affordable housing. More and more govt involved in our lives vs the ability of schools to self-police themselves.\n\nI like this About That series. CBC, keep it up!

Cost of living has become a huge problem in a great many places and major cities more than anywhere. Upticks in crime and violence are never far behind financial hardship.

Since 2015 more than 5 million students(Permanent resident) that's a huge number, with housing problems and jobs

Canada brings immigrants in order to increase its population and there lies the problem that politicians don't know what to do with.\nImmigration is needed so that they work and pay taxes so that the older generation can retire.\nThe english and french population is probably shrinking.

I went to Conestoga college, and I wish your mon read my words. Canadians, should consider that international students are paying around 20k yearly to Canada Colleges institutions that are not offering better education than the one provided in their own countries for way less than 30k. Other developed countries, like Germany or Belgium offer the same programs to international students for around 8k yearly, but, the international students rather come to Canada which also offer an easier path to become PR. But then, they crash with the reality and they realize that even many Indians can't speak proper English to be competitive in a Canadian College or in a Canadian company. Unfortunately, Canadians educational institutions know that the English spoken by international students is not enough but, they send them an acceptance letter from the institution so they can come and study in Canada. So, the real problem are the Canadian public colleges and Universities accepting people with a poor English level from overseas. Canada is a great place to be but, this kind of actions make their productivity poor which is in reality the problem behind the bad economy development when compare with similar developed countries. So, your mon should first blame its own country policies and educational institutions rather than international students for that kind of behaviors when they are students. Also, you should put your self in their shoes, learn German and go to Germany and see how easy is to manage to get a waitress job only in German in a city like Cologne. And then remember that this international students are bringing 20k from their countries economy to Canada each one yearly. Know, think how many Canadians bring 20k yearly to India or Nepal... Pues bueno como dice el video en Canada son aproximadamente 22 billones de dolares que llegan de esos estudiantes internacionales que hacen trampa en sus examenes, ahora acaso los canadienses no hacen trampa en sus examenes o al aceptar personas con bajo nivel de ingles en sus instituciones educativas?

Phobia is a medical problem. Why we accept a religion using a medical term to point out those who do not like it is not something I understand. On top of that if you want to go to a religiously based country, please do not make other excuses, just go and goodbye.

When forgien born are only the ones getting hired,you know its well past a problem.

You know things are bad when the CBC is echoing that Immigration levels are a problem. I don't think there are many Canadians out there who think immigration is bad or that it's their fault, but the LEVEL of immigration we have right now is too much.

The problem is less about the students and more about the massive influx that walked over the border at the behest of a poorly-educated PM who does not bother with economics or numbers (and no, we DON'T forgive him for that, despite his asking) .\nCity streets, citizens, budgets are now suffering from the Global Covenant of Mayors that the UN rolled out via Michael Bloomberg.

Easy answer: no. I'm an immigrant, and here's the problem with this. You are removing the spots that citizen students would have for those spots, especially in higher academic learning positions. When you care more about money from an international student, and make the local students suffer, you're in the wrong.

Housing problems in Canada, yet the Turdo government keeps the open-door immigration policy to the detriment of Canadian citizens. But that is the Turdo way of thinking, CANADIAN CITIZENS ARE SECOND CLASS CITIZENS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

Yeah just like that…. The Saudi’s see the problem taking the Palestinians into their country….endless problems.

It happens depending on your area but the extent ya'll here in the comments think the profiling is racial, borders on fantasy. Awfully convenient when influencers or social experiments set out to record being racially profiled and the footage never fails to show that even once.\n\nI got homies like this who get tracked in stores an swear it's cuz their skin color. Yet I'm darker than them and when I goto the same places nobody cares. Either we have extremely specific racists here or the problem is them. That's pretty common too.\n\nI hate specials like this cuz they remove nuance and white people eat it up it while fear mongering our kids. These fools experiences in the video do not represent the majority of us.

If he cared about the Palestinian people at all, he and the Arab world would join the fight against Hamas and Hezbollah who are the TRUE Oppressors and source of ALL the problems there. The fact that he is not stating is that they all hate the Jews and want them dead.

UN affordable housing and the LIBTARD/ndp coalition is the REAL problem!!!

I'm Australian and I'd say that Australia is not any better. This is the problem when people elects wokes in office, whose only concern is to indoctrinate rubbish rather than offer real solutions to economic problems.

Why you are hiring immigrants from other countries such as in Asia but you cannot solve the homeless problem? why there is no rehabilitation center for drug addicts same in SE Asia?

Immigrations, not the problem the country is the problem. The United States caused all this to happen. When you research the history you find out more why is immigration a problem it’s not a problem do you United States is the problem truth

Hijaab being ripped off?? You cant be serious! Who does this?! Thank Goodness i stay in South Africa. We have our problems but we have fought so hard for freedom, basic human rights need to be at the forefront.

America should worry about America. We have our own problems that need attention. Let that side of the world figure out how they wanna work it out.

Oh please. India is well known for being a culture of scamming and extortion.We see it here all the time. They’ve contributed to this mess so, no pity. Fix your own country and stop creating problems in everyone else’s.

What's wrong with United Arab Emirates. I heard they have a good economy. The only drawbacks: I think you need to have a fair amount of capital before they will accept you. And the cost of living is rather high. If I could speak Arabic that country along with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait would be one of my possible choices. The problem with Canada today is that the leaders are all completely inept, incompetent, and corrupt. I guess they think that Socialism is the way to go.

This change is taking place across the entire Western world, from Europe, to Canada, to Australia and New Zealand, to the USA. It's also not an accident, and things *WILL* continue to get worse until all of you people wake up and realize what the root cause of all these problems is: non-Western mass immigration.\n\nThe time for being polite is long past. It's time to stand up and speak the truth without fear. Be honest with yourselves - you all know it deep down. Enough is enough. Time to take our countries back.

Fabulous video! US viewer here. But we often vacationed in Quebec’s Laurentians and our daughter went to Ontario’s University of Toronto for her undergraduate degree about 15 years ago. UofT was rigorous, to say the least, but she did it in 4 years, unlike some of her peers. She LOVED it, and made many friends, including internationals. They’ve stayed close on FB, and even get together (some flying in from other countries, including the Middle East and Asia) every 2 years or so back in Toronto. We’ve found the easiest way to make friends is by going to university or college together and living in residence, rather than once we’ve enter the workforce.\n\nThat said, and as unpolite as it may be, the root of Canada’s problems are exactly its politics. IMO Canada’s misguided liberal policies are to blame for its stratospheric taxes, cost of housing, increasing crime, tolerant drug culture, and deteriorating health care system. That Canada now encourages voluntary euthanasia to reduce health care costs should say it all. Margaret Sanger would be proud. And it promises to get worse as long as Justin Trudeau and his ilk are in power. His lionizing climate change intervention at the expense of what really impacts Canadians is sheer madness. Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre and like-minded politicians could fix it all.\n\nHappily, here in the US, the conservative movement is growing and energized. Once-liberal, especially ‘minority,’ voters are understanding how little the left really offers in the long run, and are switching sides. They’ll be voting for Trump in November.

I don't think the problems you're describing are a uniquely Toronto issue (many cities across the world are having an affordability crisis - Toronto's is bad, but not unique). I think it's also a lasting effect from COVID (especially on the mental health side). I do sympathize with Chow - seems like the city isn't getting much help from the feds who are allowing mass immigration without any infrastructure or services to support it (see 10.5% proposed property tax hike in order to keep the city afloat after Tory). All in all, think the city needs a bit of time to heal after the past few years but I'm optimistic it'll get there.

If you wish to move. So move. Just stay out of my country. We do have enough problems already with arabic gangs...

Canada is not in a bubble! It’s changing like the rest of the world is changing. Canada is not immune to all the problems the rest of the world has.

The problem is Justin as a Canadian we absolutely despise him

Something is very rotten in this world.. The governments of these countries heavily criticise The West but at the end of the day, their refugees from their countries come flocking to us for a better life.. Fleeing is easy! If you really want a better life, you need to work hard and push against your leaders to demand that your voice is heard! offering asylum is the humane thing to do yes, but it's not helping solve any problems. Sometimes you need to be cruel to be kind and i think it's about time we shut the doors.

Most western places are becoming crime problems with the US leading the way. Who is committing most of the crimes in large cities? How tough are the authorities in dealing with crime? Compare serious crimes in a city like Moscow or Bejing to a Los Angeles or NYC. In the US there are numerous instances in major cities of criminal mobs entering stores and taking what they want and leaving w/o paying because retail theft has been decriminalized. Try running your small business in that kind of environment so we have businesses closing and moving out of the cities. If you haven't figure it out yet, it's called western liberalism in dealing with criminals.

Yes depression very high and physical health problems due to the stress of life. Highly corrupt and selfish govt..i dont agree canadians are racists..i think they are highly taxed, struggling and feel that the govt is using immigrantion to support their own agenda and get support for socialism..

The problem is obvious, realestate value mismanagement because the rise of value comes from the land while buildings depreciate. Over valuation of realestate can lead to homelessness and oversaturated immigration capacity exacerbates the domicile issue. Zoning laws and lack of housing diversity types as a tool, limits a city's ability to solve issue of homelessness and rising cost housing.

Interesting that you lived your whole lives in canada probably the most open and accepting country in the world..yet you claim hate crimes..a walking target really? Yup Canada is currently a woke and leftist country lots of problems sure.. your best bet would be to renaounce your canadian citizenship...

Service providers are the most dishonest people these days. They take advance payment and never show up . Some of them will do horrible work and still ask for more money. Mississuaga home owners are having serious problems with service providers. New and wider roads are being constructed in India at very high speed. Trains are providing all modern services etc

The entire world is changing. Most major cities in the developed world are experiencing the same problems: increasing inequality, housing crisis, homeless, drug abuse. The only exception are the cities in Northern European countries like Finland where a human is not let to rot on the street. \nOur cities have to change even more to get better and accommodate the changing society. Build walking and cycling infrastructure, social housing, community centers, invest into social security nets and, most importantly, tax the land owners who have created this inequality and who will pay for it.

This is exactly why we need to support the Texas border. They get a stop the problem. Instead of using up our resources. On helping illegal immigrants. Because once they're here, we gotta deal with this s*** and pay for it. What we need to do is submit a tax to Texas. To help financially fund whatever resources they need to do with the problem down there.

way to deflect the problem

Southern Thailand would be perfect for you - a lot warmer - Muslim communities - as no problems unless you get to near to the Maylasia border were extremists are still active - best of luck where ever you choose.

The problem is Israel and their allies. Not refugees.

Nethanyahu is the REAL PROBLEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only one problem , returning to a muslim country , where do you find a muslim country living in peace and harmony ?

You forgot the drug problem\nMy home just suffered a tenant overdosing and dying \nSadly I found his body a week later and got traumatized as a result

And if you don’t believe us when we say the racism in Canada is getting out of hand, all you have to do is scroll the comments below. Canada clearly has a BIG Islamophobic and racism problem rooted in society.

When you bring in hundreds of thousands of new people annually, of course there is going to be more housing shortages, more demand for housing thus inflated prices and more competition in the labor market. The USA has practiced this since 1965 and Canada is now seeing the problem.

Well,hello from Greece!.\nOnce upon a time 2010 ,I was searching way to escape from Greece .\nCanada' the best living standards in the world this time \nI have working experience in 5 European countries as health care worker and hotel's industry.\nAfter working 2001 2005 2019 in UK, which is Anglo mother root of the commonwealth.\nThe today's bad reality of Canada is not a strange outcome.\nIts not economics The Problem.\nIt is morals and values pasted from authorities.\nBad social pattern.\nWe hope that one day Canada will recover .\nGenerations of people worked hard to bring it here.\nIt's a shame.\nFriendly greetings from Greece.

The REAL problem is that 10 times as many are coning in as compared to leaving. Please get another 5 million to follow you.
