Why these boarder crosser don’t stay in US, instead flee to Canada?

I landed in Toronto in fall of 2006, its like a paradise for me at that time, a two bedroom apartment costs only $750, everywhere is clean and neat, I never saw a single homeless people, now everything degraded, very sad to see Canada is sinking, I'd like to call all Canadians vote Trudeau out.

I have a theory; US lottery gave PR through a random selection, it allowed ourliers who otherwise will not qualify to get PR and move to america, these are the ones that start business and do random stuff that diversify and boost the economy. Canada PR system is based on point selection, points are earned from degree, work, language etc, this brings a specific type of people, people good in classroom, obedient people who look good on paper, these group are not risk takers, they will find a job, go back to school and struggle for the same type of opportunities. this places pressure on the system to cater to them. This is just my theory

Honestly, Canada used to be heaven, but ever since Trudeau brought in all these second class people, Canada has gone to hell.

The government should be very clear to immigrants. Canada doesn't need workers in the Professions. Canada needs janitors and donut servers willing to live with two other families in a 2 bedroom condo or we need the rich to fleece off of. Just go onto indeed leave the key word blank and set the location as Vancouver. Most jobs you'll find pay 45-50 k or demand experience so specific no immigrant and most residents can't hope to qualify. Canada has a labour shortage the same way it has a shortage of 40k Porches.

Advice for anyone looking to leave canada maybe towards europe: don't come to germany.. The government is driving the country straight into a brickwall

I left Canada almost 4 years ago. The quality of life outside Canada is much higher and you can actually afford to live a high quality lifestyle. I would never move back to live there full time again. It's too expensive, the taxes are way too high and the quality of life is worse than a 3rd world country. \n\nIf you are currently living in Canada I would suggest to leave as soon as you can and build options in other countries around the world.

Last December, I spent THREE DAYS in the Emergency dept waiting for a bed and to be admitted. My ailment? I was suffering from bacterial pneumonia. They bungled my medication as well. Canada's healthcare system is a joke. I was born in Canada and have watched the deterioration of our once once-vaunted OHIP system fall apart through mismanagement. Sad state of affairs indeed. That's just the tip of the Iceberg. How our nation treats veterans who have served our country and those with debilitating disabilities is atrocious.

Dont even compare. USA >>>>>> Canada.

CANADA IS A SCAM COUNTRY. Lucky are those who survive.

So sad Canada accept you people and u spit in face.

As a Canadian I can officially say without a doubt in my mind there's foreigners on pretty well every jobsite in Atlantic Canada they come here with nar bitta $ and get put through college or university while our own people struggles working min wage jobs to make enough to get that chance.

Don’t come to UK, stay in Canada, it’s the same here.

International students coming to Canada should budget properly for tuition fees, housing and living expenses. There are too many stories of destitute international students living under a bridge or using the local food banks for subsistence.\n\n\nCanada should not be granting student visas unless they can demonstrate financial means to afford their education. Many international students come here and work part-time to partially subsidize their education. \n\nIt is not fair for Canada to help subsidize international students.

In Canada the Liberal Government has gone full commie, they are anti-Semites, war mongering, terrorist sympathizers destroying our country.

Ive lived in Canada my entire life, and I am desperate to leave the country to make a better life for my family. The sad thing is, I dont see how I will ever be able to afford to leave. With two jobs working seven days a week, I cannot afford to pay all of my bills every month. I dont even own a house.

Especially Indians... No terrorists in Canada.

Great! If families like this one start leaving, Canada will be livable once again!

Canada is too expensive

Shasrikal pajee, thank you for kind information. I'm interested to come for work in Canada.

canada need a qualified leader.\nJustin Trudeau openly supports Terrorism for votebank politics.\nHonours a Nazi Soldier inside their own parliament.

No more immigration. We have had enough of such folks, in Canada, now

Canada sucks now

Indians do come to Canada . Stay where you are . Stay in India . Do not come to Canada . There is nothing for you here .

Indians do come to Canada . Stay where you are

Canada is a fake super power. Country struggling in new world order!!

So this is huge housing issue not just immigration. Canada benefits from immigrants

Canada is a ponzi-scheme, particularly for newcomers and new starters. Canada was more welcoming to immigrants but that has not been the case for the last 20 years. It is an illusion.

Blame Canada! Shame on Canada! They're not even a real country, anyway

Because Canada is a Communist country now.\nWe are all trying to leave.

After that should be kicked out of canada and put on black list

US, UK, Germany, Canada are genocidal nations suitable mainly for xenophobic killers. See the International Court of Justice ruling last month.

I lived in Canada for 13 years, left in 2020 for England. Really sucks because I loved Canada so much but the prices are INSANE. Would love to move back but at this rate idk if that’s happening anymore

“Statistics Canada data” - shows the transparency in the system.

Maximam Indian pepole apply citizenship applications Canada , USA and UK . Even British Prime minister Risi Sunak is also came from India

Canada sucks now. Houses prices are stupidly unaffordable. There is horrible weather. The immigrants indians and chinese have taken over the city. The jobs are scarce. Health care system is FREE BUT REALLY HORRIBLE Go elsewhere.

Every economy gets stronger with job creation. The problem in Canada is that taxes kept on increasing, the housing wasn’t developed adequately that skyrocketed the rents but the job market is just shrinking. Most immigrants from India are from Punjab who look for blue collar jobs but with high inflation they are not able to survive or save anything. So they don’t find it lucrative anymore. The new students should do their due diligence before coming otherwise they are going to struggle!

Correct. Also, do not come to Canada in general.

This is TRUE. It's just a TRAP. They are using greener pasture scam of study first. I myself have applied and have already wasted almost $11,000 just for the application since 2013 with IELTS of 8.0. I have taken multiple IELTS since it always expires every 2 years. And I havent heard anything from Canada. Then came the pandami and I don't have any monetary funds at all. I don't have any intention of continuing my application as Canada just squeezed out the money out of me. I could have just used that money to help other people. I'll just be staying in my country so my country could be a lot prosperous than a country who uses education just to SCAM expats.

Ya Canada has gone downhill under Trudeau. We need Pierre Poillevre NOW

You must also tell to which those people went after leaving Canada. To India or some other developed country. I am sure that those folks must not have landed in India. Canadian immigrants are far far far far far better then Indians living in India.

I understand and agree with all your reasons. Canada is lame

the fastest growing economy is in Asia. USA has a better immigration system than Canada

India brings a complete opposite religion, language and ideology to foreign countries. It’s the Indian the does not participate in community activities, and integrate into a true Canadian national identity. This refusal has ultimately resulted in Indian being discouraged and quickly blaming others for the problem they have. If rent in downtown Vancouver on the 25th floor is to expensive, maybe try moving to more rural communities in Canada, where costs are different in living. If you come from a poor punjab province in India whereas you’ve sold the farm to come , then don’t expect a downtown Toronto sky rise , 1500 square foot 17th floor underground heated parking, to be the dream destination of your vision. It’s comparable to moving from the punjab to downtown Delhi and expecting the same cost comparisons to the punjab. Unfortunately it’s not sad to see the Indian people go. Hopefully Canada will begin immigration of more cultural like minded people and more people that have religious alliances, than some completely opposite ideology than a Canadian nationalist.

People are still flocking to Canada. True, it a very expensive, beauracratic, laid back country. But it is better than 95% of other places.

Khalistani terrorists and Mr Justin made Canada a hell for everyone

Thank God from canada

Canada is good if you have LOT of money. Not fit for most middle class Indians anymore.

For 2k-3k usd per month you'll live a better life in some Latin American countries than in Canada.

It's clear that Canada views immigration as a business opportunity, as opposed to prioritizing the provision of a safe and secure life for its own people and encouraging them to build families and contribute to population growth. Instead of importing millions of people, Canada could focus on motivating and supporting its citizens to increase the population internally, especially if the vision is to reach a specific population by a certain deadline.
