?? canada is good for labour not for educated... you need certification even after you are phd, you need pr and experience after have phd. no jobs for outsiders. only you can apply as labour with minimum salary

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.

People from all over Canada are moving to Alberta , Calgary in particular. The cost of living is less than Ontario, Quebec and BC. The proximity to the mountains is great. Calgary is a beautiful city with great neighborhood’s and parks. The technology sector is attracting a large number of companys to Calgary because of the reasons above but also because the work force is one of the youngest and most educated,mainly because of the training for the oil and gas sector. Being just over an hour from one of the most beautiful national parks in the world doesn’t hurt. Banff National park. Also with access to many summer vacation spots in south and central BC. All these things make Calgary a great place to live. Alberta also has many other cities and towns worth checking out. With a competent and caring provincial leader in Danielle Smith, Alberta’s future is looking bright.

I was born and raised here. I am doing my exit plan as I cannot afford to live here as young-adult living on my own. The government knew exactly what they were doing when they allowed 9 million people to come here in a short amount of time. How can you provide billions for foreign aid but can't provide basic necessities to your own citizens? I have cut EVERYTHING extra out of my life and even while working a full-time job I cannot survive in my own country. Canada is a country for the elite, cliche style immigrants, and for the ultra wealthy who pass down intergeneration wealth. A failed health care system that provides little to no services at which you pay out of pocket to get access with private health care providers. You can't depend on transit as it is the mercy of the corrupt transportation/commissioners aka unions and the cost of gas is out of this world. I AM SO LUCKY I went to university and graduated when I did because the same degree would have cost 15k-20k more...food is super expensive...renting an apartment is seen as a form of luxury....you have to know someone to get basic things done. What a shameful society...a society that treats immigrants with upmost respect only to turn around looking the other way when it comes to homelessness...the housing crises...lack of employment oppts, gosh I can go on. My brother was lucky enough to move to Dubai and cash in on his savings by investing it into his properties where he pays 0 tax on his salary from his job.

Great...Canada wants them!

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..

I wish I could afford to immigrate out of Canada

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;

Canada has become a 3rd world shithole.

Trudoe has turned Canada in to hogan's heros

From Lebanon, i send peace wishes to Canada.

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.

DISCRIMINATION IS NORMAL,ONCE YOU LEAVE THEY WILL BE MORE RACIST. IF YOU STAY THEY BECOME LESS RACIST. COME TO CANADA.

I hope Punjabis leave Canada and go back to Punjab to make the great nation they are dreaming of. I wonder why they still live in Canada if they want Khalistan.

ONly people who thrive in Canada is political liars, criminals and scammers Canada has suffered from Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau, Funny part alot of the homes are owned by China, they're massive and over priced, best part of it all....their own people screw their own with rent.

I am not surprised. There a better countries to live in now than Canada. JT ran this country down to the ground.

Canada isn’t the land what people dream of, in fact its the opposite.

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

Canada always was COMMUNIST COUNTRY!!!

This story is misleading and the Title is completely false. Canada's Student population doubled in 3 years and Canada went from 7th highest Foreign Student Population per capita to 2nd, so the Canadian Student housing situation worsened quickly. So the Trudeau Government put a cap on Foreign Students and offered low interest loans to Universities to immediately expand Student housing. Canada has seen NO drop in citizen applications and still refuses far more applications then it approves. So with even Canada's low birth rate still combined with immigration Canada's population is the fastest growing per capita of Western Democracies at an annual population increase of over 1 million people a year. So the Headline about Citizen applications which had nothing to do with the story of Foreign Students.\nAlso I want to add they stated that the gentleman had set up a business to bring home students from Canada when in the interview he stated that Canada was only one of the Countries but stating it the true way is less dramatic and doesnt fit their Narrative. Also the story was clipped from India a Nation that has been ata diplomatic war with Canada for a year after their Government Murdered a Canadian Landed Citizen. So their Governement put out a warning for their Citizens going their amongst other revenge moves. So the story has so many outside bias to be sensible.

Canada is very expensive and its hard to find affordable housing, healthcare is slow, groceries are very expensive and services are very expensive, taxes are high, transit infrastructure in Toronto is ridiculously behind other world cities. You need a car to survive in Canada and gas and insurance is very expensive. Childcare is too expensive. Clothing is limited and expensive

Good! That will help with the housing & employment crisis’ and tripled inflation. Trudeau destroyed Canada by recruiting too many minions.

I'm Congolese born and raised in France left Toronto after 5 years to go back to Paris because \n- Cost of living \n- Cost of becoming a house owner \n- Dry Dating game \n- Workaholic culture\n- Not seeing myself building my family far away from my family\n - 6 month winter \nI love Canada tho, was a great experience ??and I did apply for a citizenship tho

It’s actually been my plan to go to Canada for a few years now, it’s a shame how the Trudeau has destroyed it. I wanted to do my masters at McGill, and still do but if the situation there doesn’t improve it just won’t be worth my time. I don’t wan to stay in the UK but I may as well stay in France or go to Australia.

Canada finished

I still can't get over the fact that some of my friends still treat Canada as the holy grail, tsk tsk even I can see that that country is going out in shambles

70% of an immigration system runs on fake jobs.fake documents.fake payroll.fake marriages.fake LMIA under liberal government and liberal government have destroyed canada.

I came here in 1996, but its so expense to live in Canada. I am looking to move somewhere its cheaper

I cannot immigrate to Canada because there are too many indians immigrating to Canada. Deport indians from all englsih speaking countries.

As an American I would NEVER want to live in Canada. Their salaries are much lower than an American salary and they have much higher taxes. As a huge hockey fan, you almost never see an American hockey player go to a Canadian team as a free agent because of the crazy taxes.

I made my mind after 19 years of serving this country i have learn a lot of lessons. \nThe country is for slaves and health care is money laundering not planing to wait in ER with internal bleeding 3 hours. Many my friends like men with 3 digit salary left the Canada after many years for better countries and better life. \nThere is nothing good left here unless you starve in your country then you can immigrate here but Canada is trap so the corrporations, banks and govertment constantly can milk you with high bills till your last breath without mercy. \nI can stay in Canada with only reason if Canada cancell all taxes like Dubai Qatar etc\nAlso the country full of rassist and low life people\nEverything is built on propoganda and hidden corruption.\nMy advice do not waste your time and life here it does not worse it at the end you will regret

If Canada become into another India, then woe is me.....

When students stop goin to Canada is gonna be in the shits ?

Cause the new Canadian dream is to leave Canada.

Canada is a vast country, but its population is based in a handful of metro regions. All the immigrants and students are coming to these highly populated areas where there is a lack of housing and jobs. Everything is a lot more expensive these days. No wonder many people are thinking about leaving this country.

It is sad. I left Canada. Crime is high, Homes are double the price of an avg US home. Taxes are very high and healthcare is very slow.

Sometimes I feel like I’m living in India, not Canada, too many Indians here

what a new perspective on Canada immigrants from solely India perspective. Good job BBC !

Canada is a fuc*ing shit Ponzi country

I'd love to move to Canada, but i'm wrong skin colour to pass a visa application.

Canada the land of Terrorists

Canada is broken and trash. I would move away right now if I could.

Canada is only good for rich immigrants… if you are poor and want upward mobility then waiting in the queue because thousands of Canadian born citizens are unable to match to any residencies
