I’m a born Canadian and Canada was once the envy of the world. Cost of living was decent and plenty of good paying jobs. I couldn’t imagine being an immigrant here now. Cost of living is skyrocketing and our government does nothing about it. We are taxed so high and get little in return for the high taxes. Though our healthcare system is free and We do have state of the art facilities and skilled doctors it takes forever to get treated due to high wait times and staff shortages. There are many people immigrating to Canada with high education and experience but Canada does not allow them to practice here because they were not educated here. They are forced to take lower paying jobs. Many young people are leaving because it just too expensive to live here and the political climate is not what it used to be. Growing old here is very difficult unless you have support from family or have a large enough pension account to live in a retirement community

Part of the problem is Canada only has two cities, Vancouver and Toronto so the cost of living has skyrocketed in both cities. Most immigrants just only know to go to these cities.

Great speaker, but never answered the question about refugees because no one wants them. Except Canada. Also the Palestinians never owned the land, and I get that Israel had and still is stealing the homes of Palestinians that lived on the land and displacing them with illegal resettlements which is disgusting but God gave the land to Abraham 3000 years ago. Israel predates Palestine.

Honestly don't come to Canada its to expensive k rent is very high food is very high and don't depend on the government of canada.

Most(90%) of this is bull shit! If you talk racism in Canada tell us about better countries.....racism will always exist.....You must be living in Utopia!

Canada ?? is the best

I really think the goverment should slow down on all issues and also imagrents but send in doctors first and things that are striving to keep up housing shound increase for canadians our own people there not enough supports alone and serving ukraine should halt and things that dont need attention thethe liberails are only making canada worse high rent out of control and noting balanced they ant on a stable track at all.

Canada is becoming a dumping ground for all people who just register for student visa and work, claim refugee status, criminals from 3 rd world countries, no check on any one, even if it is is nominal-The end result is disaster

This woman is an arquitect and has money issues in Canada. What other inmigrants can do if they have less education? Canada and NY are greats countries to live if you are rich.

Canada is 80% empty because it is too cold in Canada . I only saw one high school girl have hijab ripped off in drama class back in 1998 and she flipped out and I felt sorry for her…it was a non Muslim that did that

What a surprising rule in Canada. You let your people take drugs in account of liberty. But you never allow a foreign student to see their answers sheets in case they have attempted all the questions, but the student declared failed in results. Look into it.

Yes! Canada is accepting too many international students. My neighborhood is inundated with Indian students due to the private colleges near by and the rents have sky rocketed. There is no available homes or apartments to rent. Very frustrating.

Canada doesn't make any net foreign money from international students. The money that Ottawa thinks is generating ....is Canadian money being paid from the jobs international students do. Any money that comes from outside of Canada is later reemitted back to the foreign country as most international students take a loan and later pay back that loan from Canadian earned money ...

There are way too many. Canada is just one giant diploma mill. Ontario and BC are just states of India now. This is ridiculous.

Your use of the word “America” is lazy and insulting to people who live in South America, Central America, Mexico and Canada. The United States is NOT AMERICA. Please stop appropriating the name of continents for your self centred selves.

The infrastructure across Canada is not in place to handle a large influx of population. The health care and education systems and housing across the country are underfunded and the federal gov. which rakes in 86% of tax revenues is not giving the provinces their fair share and expects them to keep the infrastructure functioning effectively anyway. The universities are using international students to make up the deficit caused by the lack of funding and help form the federal government. In the process the Canadian students are being shafted because they pay less tuition even though their parents are still paying for most of the upkeep of the institutions of higher learning.

Well yes we still need new-comers in Canada however we have so many Indians

Too many Indian students specifically. Unless Canada wants to turn into India 2.0, it should only accept researchers from India and limit 99% rest.

Canada is Canada. Instead of forcing the majority to live your lifestyle, the right thing to do is you move to a place where you feel comfortable, safe and inclusive. All Muslims who live in the West should follow your example and move to the Middle East or other Muslim countries. A win-win for all.

The international students won't stay.. silent discrimination is very high in Canada. The taxes are also incredibly high and we don't get enough in return

The government's idea of expediting residency for students was a bad idea from the beginning - of course, it was going to be exploited by bad actors to basically be a back door for immigration. Coming to Canada to study should have no direct link to becoming an immigrant. It should be a separate process again so we no longer have this ridiculous issue.

Canada ruined essentially with poor immigration planning by political parties and politicians

So faculty greed is destroying Canada with the lack of affordable housing, rising homelessness, lack of care for its citizens, etc.? They want the students high tuition money because they pay more. I wonder if it's the same in the US. I guess this is called selling out? No wonder China has caught up so quickly as there is a ton of Chinese students that come here.

cuz canada sucks.. housing (mostly no pets) - over priced. expensive groceries. get taxed after your paycheque and then taxed on everything else.

People, Do not listen to all these Youtubers = conspirators. Just move for a better life and make Canada great!

I wouldn’t live in Canada, even if you paid me; and this lady left Singapore to BC and makes the same money as a manager as she was making as a FA in Singapore? Absolutely insane and dealing with crappy weather, homelessness, crime, high taxes, etc, etc. not for all the tea in China?

All Canadians, living in Canada, are affected by what is happening today. Wishing you the best in your choices!

I left Canada in 2004 for Thailand. I think it's the best decision I made. Canada is a beautiful country. But to make a living there is a nightmare. The Universal Healthcare is there but you won't be able to access it unless you are dying.

Of course cnn reporting on canada boarder how about more on southern boarders.

What I understand there is harsh weather conditions in Canada as compared to Australia and there's reverse migration going in Canada that's why Canada is offering easy PR to live in tough weather conditions.

cuz Canada is not an environment-frinedly country to live ,, it's nit even suitable for humans to live . it's toooo fucking cold .....

very closer your land area ohh that's why Canada and US desane inheritance like malaysia and Filipino?

I left Canada but I miss somethings about Canada.\nI miss the parties\nI miss how we use to entertain at home. People fight less, there more friendlier and less angry than Americans and the average person just has more material wise, there's far less homeless people compared to America.\nThe Canadian healthcare system is just basic care, my doctors already retired. \nThe system is overtaxed. The people are overworked..it became abusive.\nI can't go back even though I miss my community in Canada.\nMemories were built there. Children were born there but it's over for me. \nThey expected people to take care of them. The Canadian elderly generation I don't accept how they treated the younger generation.\nThey are abusers.\nIt's best to stick with your own kind to avoid abuse case.

You have thrown your life away by leaving Singapore for Canada but you will realize it later. ??? so sad. This video has the most views of your channel because people are watching a trainwreck. Google Ukrainians leaving Canada back to Ukraine, a war zone and read. Sad ? for you

Never regretted leaving toronto and canada. Happily living in thailand for under a thousand dollars a month with nice basic apartment n great food to choose from

Thank God that Canada has not indoctrinated the hateful ideology of the quran and sharia law. Canada does have its problems, when the World Economic Forum Globalist Puppet Black Face Trudeau and his acolytes are swept into the dust bin of history things will improve greatly! Sorry that you could not assimilate to a Country that does not blast noise from loud speakers five times per/day here we call that noise pollution and have by-laws for this purpose. After watching your video I feel exuberated as a reminder that I live in a beautiful Country, thank you, good luck in your new country and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

well dont move to vancouver its way worse. till we take canada back nothing will change\nps vancouver is the hollywood of the north\ni believe what is going on is we have become slaves and we arnt a 1st world country now we a 3rd world country thanks to justin

Its going to end one of two ways, civil war or the abolishment of the country. Being a white male in Canada is comparable to being Jewish in Germany in the 1930s. We have the most corrupt, racist, incompetent government the world has ever seen.

Im born and raised sikh in Canada and have same problems..i left for uk and make much more money then i could ever hope , mostly because of the unwritten discrimination and the point of being canadian enough nails it!

Justin Trudeau is the number one reason people are leaving in Canada.

Im a Canadian citizen and I live in Canada for more than 30 years the problem in this country is the government system is not good this is a kind of communist system and it will get worse if the system in Canada is not changed and the thing about having Canadian experience this is a crap and this is a stupidity. People from Canada which they are born there and they have business there they have to allow people and to receive people with their work experience and they shouldn't discriminate other people this is a their mentality and needs to be changed. I am in Europe right now and I was surprised to see the news a few days ago what's happening in this country if the system in Canada is not changed Canada will be a very poor country that's the truth and that's what's going to be happen ?

I moved to Canada 10 years ago. Came here to do a PhD. Ended up staying due to various circumstances. (Such as being able to find a job here but not in my original place.)\n\nI will say that things are noticeably worse now than they were 10 years ago

Any immigrant who chose to move to Canada made a huge mistake!

Don't people leave Canada because it is a bloody dictatorship under the yoke of tyrant Trudeau and his corrupt cronies? If someone misses Castro, why not go for the original in Cuba, why settle for his junkie son?

Canada has become a shit hole in general.

He's all yours Canada.

your kin destroyed canada, sucked the social services to the marrow and now you leave.

Why pak refugee Wife coming to Canada…

If I was a younger man I’d be gone. I was born and raised here. Served in our military and retired but this isn’t the country I knew anymore. Liberal/socialist/sepratist party of Trudeau’s Canada have destroyed this once beautiful nation.

Welcome to the big lie ! The big con ! Come to Canada get a 3rd rate education on a movie theater screen that's literally worthless, and spend your families wealth here based on a lie and your dreams.
