I feel sorry to see all these news about Canada. Canada is a beautiful country it values family. Instead of granting visa to high school graduates they should welcome more to family sponsorship, professional graduate students on the funded program. Canadian take student loan from government to fund thier undergraduate program. People chose to immigrate for quality of life and experience new things. It is very disappointed to mobe to that country where the housing is top challenges and affordability. The consutlant offices has to be penalized for selling canadian pr. The strong action from canadaim government is necessary. Punish those criminals who have ruined other life foe thier own earnigs.

The article claims that for decades, immigrants have fuelled Canada's ecomonic growth. Ok, but what about strengthening its culture, to ensure that in the long term, this country remains successful? No, from what i have seen, the breakneck rate of immigration has hollowed out Canada's culture. What I see around me are newcomers that are not being integrated, or that outright refuse to, or are openly hostile to the host culture. How any of these people believe that Canada can remain successful, and them also, as a result, is beyond me. To me, it seems obvious we need a pause and reset and I'm doubtful that this small decrease in applications will achieve anything.

With this insane prices Canada will be loosing more and more people. People now come here then turn around as soon as they see the price insanity. This country is not good to migrate to anymore, and the government not doing nothing to fix the problem. Prices are a huge turn off about Canada.

Why is this on the bbc?\n\nI just had a quick look around other European national broadcasters, no one else finds this newsworthy for people here.\n\nWhat the hell, is this openly pandering to the tories? Bizarre.

Great country, great people, corrupt, authoritarian government that has allowed predatory mega corps to take over just like the US.

People are starting to get the kind of jokes canada is. Good.

I moved to Canada from the UK and am a permanent resident.\n\nIt's nice, but my Canadian wife and I want to move back to the UK. \n\nDid you know people don't get annual holidays over here and the wages are bad? \n\nI haven't been on holiday since I moved here years ago and I used to go on holiday every year back in the UK. I miss them so much, considering my mum is in Turkey and Egypt every year, I'm kinda bored in my little Canadian town surrounded by Tim Hortons and pick up trucks. It's not good for your mental health here

It’s more about people taking debt out than it is getting an education. This is sad.

Sad, I would trust a Sikh before one of my own people.

Well its the US own fault. If they wouldnt keep on destroying the countries these people ard from this wouldnt happen

I think it is the quality of the immigrants that come to Canada that needs to be analysed. If too many low skilled or people with unemployable skills are granted visas, then any country, let alone Canada, would seem like a tough country to settle and earn. Canadian govt seems to be lenient in allowing too many unemployable ppl to get into the country. This has resulted in an imbalance. It just needs a strong govt which Canada lacks at this point in time. 90% of the problems can be solved within 4 to 5 years if govt stops or regulates visas.

They really want the Palestinian people to be robbed of their land ..Again!.. They want a repeat of 1948...Here's news for you...NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!\nMay ALLAH SWT protect and provide for my Palestinians brothers and sisters...Ameen

Every day you people talk about people leaving CANADA if they want to leave no one stops them, and no one cares, but on the other hand people from your country would kill to come to CANADA

Beautiful country but the people are as frosty as their weather, especially if you come from The United States, or there about, as i find Canada now...Far more hostile racist than even in the past when i lived there. Peace

Trudeau has ruined Canada. It's one thing to help people from other countries, but not at the expense of Canadians who've been waiting for help first.

5 eyes!!!! Most Indians dong even get jobs in their expertise of work. Most white collared workers end up in retail, factories or banks in mediocre jobs. I think immigrants are just welcomed because of a shortage of people. Now we realize all that glitters is not gold. Better to work abroad on a short contract and move to the next contract where your quals is valued. Ageing population and taxes to rebuild countries makes immigrants scape goats

Venezuelan Americans voted 77% in favor of Trump on multiple occasions . We’ve been here legally for decades and now because of a select group coming through people are starting to hate us. I’ve been paying taxes since I got my first job at the age of 16 I’m 29 now, do y’all really think we want to give out freebies with our money too? No lmao, the left creates more hate by allowing this to continue instead of stopping it. Let’s go Brandon!

He can't even hear what he is saying and the implications of it, where he describes you have to live in certain places with like minded people otherwise what, all the negatives. Insular racist etc etc.

Thanks to these canada is destroyed .... good work sik people good work

The time has come to hold accountable a crazy prosecutor who is running around trying to catch former President Donald, a DA who enjoys invading the border, and Biden who is turning the country into a chaotic hell. A civil war-like tragedy is occurring every day in the United States due to these three incompetent people who stand above the law. Citizens and upright politicians, the time has come to stand up and make things right. There is no longer any reason for our border to be brutally invaded and for the country to be turned upside down by prosecutors who recklessly enforce the law with blood in their eyes to catch a former president who does not have the truth. Everyone must fight as one for the truth, for the country, and for the future of the country.

Instead of showing (only)big grocery you should’ve also shown big bank companies and big cell phone companies (to name a few).Also Canadians are politically ignorant and therefore tend to elect people who themselves are independently wealthy and are clueless to the problems you have listed (Alberta N/A).On top of these things Canadians are taxed to an extreme degree and actually believe that if they pay more taxes the planet’s climate will become cooler.And apparently they think that’d be a good thing!

Please how can I contact you I really need guidelines I lives in ?? I am a health social worker for elderly people and people in need I want to come with my family

This people don’t have OIC card

It’s all part of the plan.! The president hasnt said one thing about this. Isn’t that weird?!? People shouldn’t vote for that guy unless he address this… or wait they probably don’t know what’s going on huh? ….

why did you leave Singapore? as indonesian, I think Singapore people live comfortably. you can always go to Batam to enjoy affordable foods and services. your money pays a lot in Batam because Indonesia rupiah is weaker than your money.

Yes. Canada is not like what used to be as a good country to immigrate to in mid or late 1970s. Unfortunately, job opportunities, salary, wages have not kept us with high cost of living in cities like Toronto and Vancouver. Also, road infrastruture have not kept 12:12 up with population growth. People should do research, check out more before immigrating to Canada these days. If you are moving to Canada for peace and political stability, then yes. Otherwise, think twice! Also, the requirement for Canadian employers to ask for Canadian experience has existed since at least the 70s. But it is absurd and stupid for employers to ask job applicants for Canadian experience since the world is highly interconnected through internet these days. Provided you are working in western world or English speaking countries, job functions and management styles are basically very similar whether it is high tech industry, banking, investment companies etc.

This is some how seems to be very well coordinated. Masses of people from different countries migrating at the same time??

Americans and migrants are not thinking clearly a Country can only sustain a number of people comfortably including shelter, food, medical and education. Other than that a Country will definitely Fall in so many different ways, Collapsed! Murphy's Law! Anything that Could happen will happened!!

Our country needs to protect us and our country from all these people entering by force not every one needs help some are here to do evil

High home prices and bleak job opportunities have produced a generation of angry isolated people incapable of making friends easily. Being a Vancouver native for 72 years allows me to see your problems from a different viewpoint. You are correct it’s a Vancouver issue about ghosting people that you will not see in Toronto Edmonton Saskatoon or Campbell River for that matter. It’s not a Canada thing just a pretentious west coast attitude.

I have lived here over three decade now. Yes Canada we are busy helping other poor countries and their causes , so we sometimes forgetting helping ourself. ? I hear alot lately about some peoples are leaving Canada, of course because it's winter here, they will come back when winter end ?

Problem is Americans have gone to soft go back in time and nothing going on today would be going on without the American people gathering together and putting a stop to it now all we can do is fuss about who's fault it is and try to make new laws for things we already have laws in place for try forcing your way into the countries these people come from and i can promise you that you will either find yourself in some horrible jail cell or dead or both

You Punjabi Indian PeopLe Whatever your name is Get Out Of Canada

Stop spreading your WOKE propaganda - racism my a$$....Its called meritocracy! .Not one grave of native children have been found and no one wants to excavate the sites...How did indigenous people mark their own graves? Educate yourself before spreading that WOKE bs!

For how long Canada could be able to give away money to support illegal invaders? Where is guaranty that these young people will be loyal to Canada? They came from violent countries and have used to violent behaviour. Who can screen their past? They probably lie about everything.

This is crazy. Masses of people who we don't know who they are move as please around the world with no documents. Europe is flooded, Canada and the US. This is crazy those people are a threat to public safety. Imagine there is turmoil in their counties and they try to act from inside.. They are not refugees, they have no right to be in our country. Better quality of life? This is not our problem! This has to stop. We are now sleeping on a bomb.

I am a canadian \nWith a valid learning disability and i was told it was not cost effective to accomodate for people like me.

IF PEOPLE TRIED TO FORCE THEIR WAY INTO YOUR HOME AND DEMAND YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM AT THE COST OF YOUR OWN FAMILY...WHAT WOULD YOU DO???? WELL THE USA IS OUR HOME AND THIS IS INVASION FOLKS!!! STAND WITH TEXAS FOR YOUR FAMILY!!!!

Brothers, money to us is of no value, and to most of us unknown; and as no consideration whatever can induce us to sell the lands, on which we get substenance for our women and children, we hope we may be allowed to point out a mode by which your settlers may be easily removed and peace obtained.\n\nBrothers, we know that these settlers are poor, or they would never have ventured to live in a country that has been in continual trouble ever since they crossed the Ohio.Divide therefore this large sum of money that you have offered to us among these people...and we are persuaded they would most readily accept it in lieu of the lands you sold to them...\n—Letter (1793) The Seven Nations of Canada\nI'm first generation Canadian and would have jumped ship and joined these guys! If Sitting Bull or Crazy Horse or Tecumseh or Chief Seattle or Chief Luther Standing Bear or a whole bunch of those guys came back I'd just ship right now! But I'm stuck here... C'est la vie! (;

Unfortunately many people make so much kids and have not the money for them! Kids are very expensive!

From land to the sea... that's Israel new slogan... they want to take Palestinian... land...???\nNetanyahu and Israel and their security forces let this happen. They sacrificed over 1700 people on October 7th, so that Netanyahu can cover up his crimes...

THATS THE AFTERMATH OF BUSINESS OUT SOURCING, WHERE U.S. AND ITS RICH ALLY ESTABLISH THEIR MANUFACTURING IN CHINA 30 YEARS BACK, LEAVING ITS ORIGIN CORPORATE COUNTRY ITS PEOPLE UNEMPLOYED BUT MAKING CHINA AS WORLD FACTORY , \n(CHINA TURN ITS RICHNESS INTO MILITARY POWER, IS NOW THEIR FORMIDABLE OPPONENT COMING OUT OF S.C.S.

Good and balanced information. Thank you. Your delivery style is also good. I wish however you didn’t obscure your face frequently (or at all) while talking with text and image. Somehow hinders the quality of the video. But the video itself is really good. It will help young people in their decision process.

The only people I see doing well are the chinese and the jews.

It's less people leaving than more people emigrating, don't let it worry you.

if people think that coming canada ur gonna live a comfort life.... maybe u dont know much about canada lol just saying... also keep in mind we have very harsh winter here.. not so comfy eh its like this for 6 months we barely have summer here spring its usually slushy coldness here.. nobody goes out anymore cause everything so expensive so we just stay home... nobody talks to anybody anymore this nation is going down hill... dont expect coming to canada and think ur gonna live the california dream here cause that is just not it.

Good for you. I think what you are talking about many muslims are feeling. So my advice is find out where you are going and make it an easy place for muslims to get into despite their finances, then help others to do hijrah. Like to be a support. I am up for it. Sana I know you from Senegence. I am doing a global business now, if you want info please reach out. Everyone should have multiple streams of income. I used to think Jordan but that is so close. What about Indonesian? Qatar? UAE is expensive otherwise that would be our choice. Not just the political but the banks, visa, capital one, taxes, and maybe even pensions have funds supporting there. Being brown didn't make me feel like an outsider but when I started to wear the hijab is when I felt I didn't belong. What a sad reality. Canada was so nice. I feel sad so so many going homeless and such. The poor pensioners having to not have enough for food because rent is so high. There is good people here. Oh and the injustice of hate crimes, like really?

Be careful on our LRT (Rail transit), I wouldnt take it in the evenings, you have to put up with people smoking crack, and what have you right there on the trains, and lots of violence as well...really not safe.

if he's so sure palestinians dont want to move why are all arab nations scared to give them the choice? these people won't give palestinians refuge then claim they are in a prison. the truth is the arab world created the whole situation as an excuse to keep attacking israel.

For the white people it’s not only Mexicans coming here it people from different countries as well
