I came to Canada as a toddler in 2001 and it was like a dream come true for someone from a poor 3rd world country. But as of 10 years ago, the quality of life as well as the quality of services has just been getting worse and worse. As an immigrant myself, i know i shouldn't be saying this, but we seriously need to put immigration at a halt so that the current inhabitants can pick themselves up.\n-The job market is in a crisis, you can have a Masters Degree and still make less than 50K a year\n-We're facing an economic crisis where the cost of living is higher than what you're making (Low-class & Middle-class)\n-Free Healthcare is no longer worth paying for but we have no choice because majority can't afford to pay for Private.\n-Education level is a joke in comparison to Asia and Europe.\n-Most people are too old to even realize that they're voting for the wrong parties to run the country.\n-Depression rate is higher than ever. Satisfaction of life is plummeting, Suicide rate slowly increasing every year.\n-Public services are becoming more expensive, which once used to be Canada's greatest selling point.\n-No one wants to work the jobs that are available and in demand because immigrants are getting to pick and choose.\n-Properties are being bought out by foreigners thus raising the price for citizens who can't afford to buy anymore.\n-Birth rate and relationship satisfaction is slowly declining giving immigrant families access to Citizen status facilities.

I think the best part about Canada that you can't find anywhere else is the people and the landscape. Everyone here is so friendly and willing to help their neighbor. I find when I travel, the world feels much colder than here. Unfortunately it's all these amazing people who are suffering to no fault of their own. I haven't been to a doctor since I moved to Quebec (Born and raised Albertan) and I think it's among the worst of the provinces in terms of healthcare and infrastructure and considering it's the highest taxes in all the provinces. Luckily in Quebec City though it's still very affordable (relative to the rest of the country) but the housing market is still getting expensive here very fast. in 2020 my friend bought an apartment for 300k and within 4 years it's easily almost doubled in value for no reason other than inflation in the market. I love this country but indeed things need to change

Watched this video and your channel for the first time yesterday and honestly I really enjoy it. Made me feel like I was actually also in Canada, will keep watching your channels and hopefully more videos to come

Here in Toronto you hardly see any white people anymore (exaggerating a bit), yet you complain about racism and also criticize Canada in other areas. How is it even your business? I don't remember ever seeing Canadian TV programs criticizing India. And I have nothing against India and Indians, in fact, they're mostly quite pleasant. But you're taking it a bit far here.

No person in his sane state of mind will ever consider to move to Canada now! I moved here 22 yrs back through the immigration point system and I'm desperately planning to get the hell outta here. Trudeau and his corrupt policies has destroyed the Canada that I loved till a few years back. All he cares about is filling his Voter bank and has brought in so many refugees that cannot be housed unless he taxes the average Canadian. Crime in public places, drug use on the streets, Car thefts..........I can go on and on! @Pierre Poilievre is probably the only Savior...who knows?

Can you believe they flood Canada, overcrowd the country, then complain about it and try to leave somewhere else. They have no respect!

Will you stay? Will they stay in Canada. \n- Nah no one wants to stay in Canada\nAnd yet, here she is, in Canada... yio just leave?!?

I do not see a problem having international students. They shall have their own money for tuition, accommodation and food. Our taxes shall not subsidize foreign students. Also as soon they have finished their schools they shall go back to their countries. And if they want to immigrate they shall stay in general line for all applicants. Why Canada promises PRs for foreign students and their families? It may be one inexperienced graduator in family and the rest a bunch of low skilled workers immediately asking for welfare to survive. I do not see any benefits for Canada.

I’m a Canadian (from an immigrant background) in their early 20s. I’m planning to leave Canada within the next 5 years. The Trudeau government has virtually destroyed this country. Housing, taxes, low productivity, and a broken immigration have absolutely brought this country to its knees.

The biggest mistake is to think that Canada is a developed country! No, it is a parasite on the US body that depends on its resources (coal, oil, gas, metals); Canada does not produce any high-tech products, it is simply speculation on real estate and migrants.

The majority international students that have been coming to Canada over the past few years are going to privately funded colleges which are basically glorified diploma mills without any real reputation.

Canada and the U.S , are being taken advantage of. We are both running out of room for legitimate immigrants ?

I’m a software exec and my wife is a cardiologist. We moved to Canada (my former home and new for my wife) a few years ago we lasted 9 months. My wife was like “get me out of here”. Now we are in Atlanta and loving it. We will never be back.

Come to Canada, where housing, a necessity of life is left up to the captive free market. Where we sell our labour and resources to corporations that ship it all away, and send the profits back to foreign headquarters.

Thanks to abortion and mass immigration Canada's population is over 40 million.

The only thing I agree with you is the 2 facts you stated in the beginning. Here are the ways I feel I you can improve:\n\nYou don't have to own a car, I think that a choice that isn't necessary, instead invest in good quality winter wears - might be expensive but it will be very worth it. A famous brand is the North face.\nAlso finding an area that matches one's pocket is crucial, never go with the bandwagon. Nigerians don't have to live close to you for you to be okay. Mingle and learn new cultures and ways after all you immigrated. Go to developing areas that won't be too far from work. Train and bus system is amazing through our Canada if you can stick to timing.\nI can keep going but I'll leave room for others to further on. Thank you

Indians don’t like white people. This is a fact!!! They criticise white people and are racist towards white skin!! Fact!!! Why do they still want to come to Canada though??

you can't move all of India to Canada without it turning into something else.

In Australia 10-15 migrants are having to share a house, due to massive shortage of rental properties, they are nothing more then slave labour, to fill the underpaid underskilled jobs us Aussies refuse to do, its a giant scam, these migrants are being treated worse then dogs, I presume it's the same in Canada.

You will decide where Punjabi should and should not go. Not only Punjabis go to Canada, Gujaratis, Bengalis, Keralites also go there. But I don't know why only people like you are seeing only Punjabis going to Canada.

Quebec #1? You've got to be kidding! Great maybe if you are fluent, and I do mean fluent, in French. Otherwise you're treated like a second class citizen. As a tourist destination it is fabulous. The best food ever throughout the province. Old Quebec City by far the most beautiful in Canada and Montreal for the marvellous shopping experience. All fine for a fumbling in French tourist, but moving there and trying to get on in fractured high school French is a whole new and not so pleasant experience. I lived in the province for just under 2 years so my comments are based on that experience. After travelling the country extensively I settled in Northern Ontario to raise my family. Now retired I live in Canada's largest city Toronto and love it.

Well as I live in a communist 3rd world country, i’d be more than happy to live in Canada

Yes because getting immigrants from war torn upside down corrupt government Warlord lead Primitive backwards country in east Africa is such an advantage to Canada. The skills the skills. So many skills.

I live on PEI in canada and the housing crisis & health care is a serious issue. The immigration needs to slow down exponentially. FK TRUDEAU

Trudeau has ruined Canada and still is as he remains in power.

100% True! Very well researched. It used to be better but a 2023 study showed that US salaries for the same work are 46% higher while the US also collects much fewer taxes on both salary and sales. On top of that nearly everything other than education is much more expensive in Canada! We have much less variety of products available too and even imported goods are sold for higher prices. Waiting 10+ hours in an emergency room is considered normal which is really shocking considering that Canada is numerically one of the richest countries!

DON'T COME TO CANADA

If CANADA DONT STOP NOW, THIS COUNTRY WILL BE PART KF INDIA. Take MY WORD. CANADA WILL BE ANOTHER MOST CORRUPTED COUNTRY.

Canada has become safe harbour for all criminals / anti national elements all over the world

My uncle came to Canada recently through a business visa and immediately applied as a “refugee”. He is a multimillionaire in Iran, very rich and lavish life back there. He just wanted a quick path to PR. The whole system is a scam. Canada is a joke.

I moved back to Nepal? Start farming best decision of my life?Canada is depressing for me.

Thank God this Winter was relatively mild.. but Canada is still damn cold to be living outside.

ਦਿੱਲੀ ਦੇ ਲੋਕਾ ਲਈ Canada ਠੀਕ ਨਹੀ ਇਸੇ ਕਰਕੇ ਹਿੰਦੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੋਜ਼ ਬੋਲਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿਉ ਕਿ ਦੁਕਾਨਾਂ ਤੇ ਬੈਠਣ ਜੋਗੇ ਹਨ ਕਮ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਸ਼ਰੀਰ ਨਹੀ

The winters alone would make me leave Canada

I have dual citizenship. Born in Canada. I have a beautiful American mom and a French Canadian dad. I lived in Florida and Maine. Came back to Canada. I always come back to Canada. USA is awesome, but in small doses. I can see myself going back for a couple years when my kids have have all graduated. Universities and health care is more affordable in Canada. Generally, more chill and less amped up as well. lol. I love both my countries though.

The problem with blaming immigrants is that people are going to start profiling based on the colour of your skin, so even if you are a Canadian and paid your dues, because the colour of your skin looks exactly like the ones that just came to Canada, you'll get attacked.

As an immigrant, I don't understand how canada chose to bring in so much immigrants without actually creating capacity.

as a canadian who can barely afford to eat if i want to live in an apartment canada who completely gone to shit it all started when truedau became prime minister the price of everything has more then doubled since he came into power i cant wait till hes gone

Canada is American Pakistan-- a safe harbor for terrorists and criminals. If you don't believe me, Google for an article by PBS on this.

Thanks for covering homeless-ness by real homeless. Really sad to see. fyi Toronto is capital of Ontario, Ottawa is capital of canada

We better smarten up!! Free Canada from Liberals!!

It all depends on when you have come to Canada. Those who have come before 2000 and made Canada their home are generally happy with their decision. ??

You forgot to ask one thing “why the f*** you don’t go to work?”There’s plenty of them!! God bless Canada ??

Moving to Canada is the biggest mistake I made in my life

SUE THEIR ASSES . I’m born and raised in Canada ?? and I’m a Muslim - but this right here is wrong !!!! The sikh youngster is SIMPLY BEING SIKH !!!!!

Canada is just too cold, nothing like those 6 month Winters

This is sad of whats happening in Toronto, CANADA

Due to mass immigration and foreign investment especially into housing in recent years has resulted into extremely high property values by manipulation and now increased high interest rates. High corruption has taken over. It’s time for these highly skilled immigrants and (students)help to build up their countries of origin rather than to move abroad. No one is ever forced to migrate to another country nor does Canada advertise to come here so it’s best to join forces in the country of origin and create the highest possible level of living standards so people will want to live in their country.
