In the past 2 years - I have spent 3 months in Toronto, and last year, 3 months in Montreal...and it is like the Tale of Two Cities! In Toronto, I stayed at a friend's off the park that abuts Queens St, and Dundas St. on the far side. I barely got a good night's sleep - from the constant wailing of Sirens at ALL Hours of the night/early morning! I witnessed several incidents of random violence - including on the trolly cars, and many of them involving homeless Indigenous people ...who were historically shit-on by Canada! In comparison to US Cities - Toronto minded me of problem-plagued SF, Seattle, and Portland. The Density factor reminded me of NYC, minus the Positive Street savvy that New Yorkers have in spades! I did meet some very nice people, but overall - Torontonians were uptight, concerned about money all the time, and sometimes - just downright rude! Fast-Forward to Montreal. I stayed in Le Plateau...renting a room for 3 months. Lovely House-mates - One Turkish/Polish Woman, and an Iranian Man - both were quirky, and Delightful! My rent was very decent, and my Host showed me all the affordable places to eat, swim for free, free Yoga in the parks...within 2 days, I felt at Home! It was 3 days before I even noticed a siren! Drivers stoped for pedestrians, and as it was summer - the bike-lanes were full of bike riders! The Green Spaces were plentiful, and Parc Mount Royal is a Terrestrial Paradise! Were there some social issues? - of Course! French being the official language, the Quebecois are a VERY Proud, and defiant lot! That was difficult at first, and then...learning some history of Quebec, you begin to understand their irascible defenses! There was some homelessness (a Fraction of what I see in the US, and Toronto!), and prices are creeping-up (the common complaint!), and there was a lot of construction, and road repairs - as Quebec is NOT a wealthy part of Canada, overall. In short - I miss Montreal DEEPLY! Toronto? - I have a good friend there, and I hope to see a few of the folks I met there, Again. Travel Impressions are mainly subjective, but I know where my heart, and affection lie!

15 000 sanctions imposed on my country and life still equal to Canadian. So sad seeing sinking boat “Canada”

I don’t live in Canada but the winter is the thing that I don’t like I was there on holiday In October November and did not like it

Born and raised in Canada, would move out of here in a heartbeat

Canada started this with their socialists bs of a government. ??????

Canada had taken way too many people with no skills filling low wages jobs hardly enough to keep a roof over they heads and food \nHas become so expensive, shortages of affordable house is hard to find , people shouldn’t come to Canada now is not the time

Quality of life in Canada is low and the suicide rate is high ? \nChild suicide rates are some of the highest in the world and no public discourse about it. Disgusting place really

Canada is collateral damage from Biden's failed policies.

Because Canada will become Khalisthan very soon that’s why Truedue is supporting Khalisthanis

I came to Canada and made research and considered to stay and made same conclusion that attractiveness of Canada is somehow a bubble . However I hope things will get better for this country and its beautiful people ??

Immigrants are leaving Canada?? ?‍♀️ but first they left India to run to Canada..so the report should actually analyse why people especially stusents are leaving India and running abroad..???

We have been building more houses right arcoss Canada. The major problem is our high cost of housing ,cost of living ,taxes and those fn idiots (liberal government) that steal from the poor and middle class and give to the rich (Trudeau, Freeland , Wef , Zelenski, Netanyahu and the WHO). No wonder this country is fucking broke.

Canada is racist against non Indians. My partner is from Central Europe but job went to an East Indian due to nepotism.

HI,CHORKOR I WANT TO MOVE TO CANADA.

Leave Canada better of

Canada is Joke. Its not a safe place for Indians to live in canada.

But how many Chinese and North African immigrants are coming in to Canada? How many Middle Eastern immigrants are coming in? At least the Indian immigrants are pro-Canada and are seeking education and a job.

I love Canada, but Toronto is definitely my least favourite city. I have friends there and always have fun staying there, but there is no way I could live there. I had my eyes on the west coast, but I really love life in Montreal and I cannot imagine ever leaving.

This problem is everywhere from Australia, UK to Canada !

U reap what you sow.\nSupport for Terrorism and Seperatism and WOKE and LGBTQ ideas along with higher inflation and rising prices has been to receipie of disaster and downfall for Canada. \nAnd above all picking up a fight you cannot win with India is like double whammy ???

Trudeau transformed Canada into 3 world country. What a shame...

Canada wants all its citizens to be LGBTQ people ?️‍?

Fuck Canada!!!!!!

sorry for both of you… but thankx to god Australia is having a strong and tough immigration system … As i am here in Canada here they have given PR to lots of illiterate and useless people you face everyday ??

Canada needs Austrian social housing programs doesn't make sense to kick out educated hardworking people they're exactly the type of immigrants you want

My parents left Canada with me as a child. In 2014 I moved back to Vancouver. I bought 3 houses in Alberta where homes are cheaper. It was a struggle to survive in Canada. In Alberta the government fines you for not having shoveled the snow on your sidewalk in -40 weather when no one is walking around anyway. The people who rented my houses were all using drugs and a nightmare and protected by laws. The rents in Vancouver are astronomical and shopping very expensive. I sold it all and left in 2021 and now travel the world and make YouTube videos and living the dream and saving a ton of money.

Canada banega Khalistan ???

K to k program suna hai canada mein? They will become minority in punjab and canada to after a generation or two

Canada is turning communist!

Wow, my first time of seeing ur videos. I want to relocate to Canada but the agent is asking for 7000$ which is giving me headaches. How can I enter with a visitor visa but I have a duo intent as u mention ?. Pls help me, a sister from another mother, I'm a ok so from chokor, 31st area

Canada is a 3rd world shit hole

Indian political agenda to criticize Canada Indirectly ? Indian political parties sponsored channel. FYI please...there are still long queues from the world to come in Canada. Lol

And yet…I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else! If you think this is bad, you should travel more often and see what’s around, you may appreciate what we have here in Canada.

WHEN DID THE CONSTRUTION INDUSTRY IN CANADA END ? REALY ? NOW THAT IS NEWS !

Canada's economy suck!!!!!!!!!! I heard from many immigrants that Canada is boring and feels like a jail.

Great...Canada wants them!

Canada has been sold off to Chinese money launderers

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

Why stop Canada wants these illegal immigrants then let them have it

It's interesting that immigrants are choosing to leave Canada whereas migrants are staying..

Yeah the rentals are like 1800 a month to 2K for 1 bedroom - or 2400 a month for 2 bedrooms; while 3 to 4 bedrooms - cost like almost 2 million dollars in Toronto; yeah it some places go to minus 30/40/50 Celsius - and if you go rural for cheaper prices you kind of pee behind the bushes and no gas station for like 200km; Canada is for carpenters, hunters and fishers/ survivors it's not for weak hearted unless you got a few million dollars in your account;

We ready to leave forever after 20 years in Canada. \nWe love this country but what the clown did will need decades to be fixed.

What are you thinking about Canada? @davidpatelofficial

Trudoe has turned Canada in to hogan's heros

English (UK, US and Canada) stupid.\nOpened doors for lakhs of crores of foreigners.\nImmigrants almost emptied barn godowns of English countries (mission accomplished) and successfully returning to home country.\nEnglish people's conditions are pitiable (immigrants even stripped these people's apron).

to much russian in canada

Don't fall for canada immigration

I have been to Canada couple of times now. It's basically a little India outside India. Same as England.

The had doubled the amount the persons who come to Canada. It is the consequence of persons protested against the Canadian administration. I assume they forgot it was foreign country and they are not true citizens of the country.

As a natural born Canadian, it's turned into a corrupted shit show, and I too plan to leave. Not only is Trudeau and liberals corrupt, but the cost of living and stagnant wages is rediculous. This government has opened excessive immigration since 2016, and its hurt this country. Do not move to Canada.
