Canada sucks, the reason the banks don't have a problem here is because there are only 6 banks compared to the USA who have more banks than restaurants. 1 bedroom rent is $3000+ per month in Toronto.

The Canadian government has screwed this country for decades!! And the massive flood of immigrants is screwing millions of Canadians. And the extreme lack of housing to buy or rent is a absolute joke!!!! \nFamilies that have lived in the same house and neighborhood for 30-40-50 years are having to sell their houses and move to a different city or even to a different province! This Country hasn’t been Canada or Looked like Canada in a decades . ☠️

Cheap rent actually, compared to east coast

And libtards are wondering why rent in NY has increased $800 on average in the last two years ???

The Canadian Dream is having someone else pay your mortgage with their rent.

slumlords in canada buying more houses and renting out for more money !!

That's all BS, biggest problem facing Canada is RENT PRICES.\n\nApart from that country is great.

Canada is a super expensive country, I've been here for 30 years and still renting houses, unable to save for a downpayment to buy my own house, paying rent forever with my husband and not being able to afford to have kids either. This country is depressing, you go to college and then work and have nothing. Canada is not a happy country, people are broke, paying too many taxes and not getting the proper services, there is a shortage of family doctors in Canada. Also paying too much for rent and gas. The socialist government makes things harder year by year, they don't develop the economy to keep up with the times, the liberal government has a lot to do with the crappy economy here. They create policies to make everything extremely hard for Canadians to succeed. If you are thinking of coming to Canada, think twice, it's a trap, it will take you years to be able to afford anything, you will struggle most of your life.

In Canada everyone is greedy. Just go and rent commercial land for business then you will know how expensive is the rent. I am not talking about ghosts cities where only old people are living. To open a business you need thriving population which is in big cities. Just look in the morning after 5 a.m. all the major highways are full of vehicles going towards Toronto. Because all the big businesses are there as well as their head office.

After watching this video if you think that what is going on in Canada is not crazy, then take note of the fact that Trudeau government is also making it even harder for gas and oil companies, mineral extraction and even farmers to basically do their job. While Norway, Arab countries and even US are ramping oil and gas production, in Canada Trudeau is concerned more about increasing carbon tax and the rainbow flags. Honestly I'm very disappointed in this country, it's becoming worse and worse here. Prices are through the roof, housing is insanely expensive, even car prices are higher than in USA. Many people have to maintain 2 or even 3 jobs just to survive. And if you are a recent graduate or an immigrant professional, good luck finding a good job. You probably will end up in a minimum wage job that barely allows you to rent a room in someone's basement, pay for your most expensive in the world cell phone plan, expensive cars.... and wait 6 months to go see a medical specialist. If you're thinking of immigrating to Canada, better consider Europe, USA or developed countries in Asia. I was lucky because I bought property back in 2016. Now it appreciated so much that I'll probably sell and move to a different country. Hard times are ahead for Canadians, Canada is gonna become Cuba #2 very soon

Canada is a real estate banana republic. Real estate is an unproductive asset to the general economy. It's dependent on low borrowing rates which encourages asset price inflation and the exploitation of those who are unwilling to participate or those unable to afford barriers to entry. This perpetual cycle of borrowing, buying and exploiting, has its upper limitations. Eventually everyone loses as debts are insurmountable and rent becomes unaffordable. When a recession occurs due to lack of spending, job losses will occur and a deleveraging will be soon to follow.

Let's do some basic life, right now unless your well educated and already had money from family, you need a job that pays at the very least 15 and hour and work a minimum of 60 hours a week to pay for a house and enough food to eat once or twice a day, don't say fast food, because when I was 12 you could get two burgers a drink and fries for like 3 something, now the same order is 10 to 12 that's down in Mississippi, notch that up the further north you go. Now on to housing, cheapest hotels or apartments that you can actually stay and sleep in without fear of disease from the bed, if your lucky 650 to 800, the average is 925. Houses! Rent to own, cheapest with ok credit, 900 to 1200 a month's for a double wide trailer or one bedroom one bathroom one person house

Seems similar in Australia...despite high wages ..more thab half the salary of most Aussies goes to rent or mortgage. And also the traffic fines are ridiculous

Dear immigrants \nAmerica is NOT what is seems. the rents are to high I’m talking about $2000 just for a 1 bedroom 1bath apartment. Homeless are taking over most neighborhoods. fentanyl is killing a whole generation of kids teens and young adults these are only a few of the many problems we are facing ,so please let AMERICA take care of its problems first \n Sincerely, a worried American

Hi, I need to move to Ontario. Can you suggest cities which have affordable rent but has opportunities as well? Thank you so much for doing what u do

They know very little about what is going on in America. As American, we can't afford to live here. Rent is outrageous, food prices are off the roof, gas prices, life, car, rental insurance is so expensive. Their governments need to provide better living conditions in theirs own countries, so this type of eruption won't happen constantly??

room sent dosto ke saath rehane par rent kuch kam bhi to ho sakte hai naa???

I’m confused! Somebody please help me to understand why these people are trying to cross into the USA ! You mean to tell me that they can afford to pay $2 - 3K, A month for a two bedroom apartment, when the average AMERICAN cannot afford to pay that kind of rent!

Come on we need higher rent and more crime and cartels come on hurry lol

People are angry this country is being overrun by illegals.. Americans are struggling to pay bills, rent and take care of their families and a government doing nothing about it. Now we got millions breaking the law and forcibly coming in the wrong way.. this is sickening..

Thanks bidden\nHonestly ever since they let in Hispanics not Mexicans!!!\nTHESE PPL ARE IN CHICAGO CAUSING ACCIDENTS\nAND MAKING IT HARD FOR CITIZENS TO EVEN FIND AN AFFORDABLE HOME BECAUSE THEY RENT BETWEEN 8 PPL TOGHETHER \nAND FEEL SPECIAL JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PERMIT TO BE IN USA AND HELP FROM ALL THESE STUPID ORGANIZATIONS THAT NEVER HELPED A MEXICAN.

And people wonder why rent prices have skyrocketed under Biden. Lots less housing available all of the sudden.

Personally America should stop letting everyone come in not just from mExIcO place is ran down government is as bad as Zimbabwe ?? no offense. Coming over here is not helping anything or anyone we don’t have any type of affordable housing if you come out to California get ready to pay 2400$ in rent or 5000 to keep a house in the pay area shits not sweet here. Even as a homeless person you gotta pay rent so no matter what you are still fucked just because you don’t hear gun shots no more doesn’t mean you not hearing people get robbed beat or jumped. Cops aren’t always around an people in California pray on the weak an it’s sad think smart what do you want to have an I’ve been living in California damn near my whole life.

Please share a clue how accommodation as in rent is like in canada? Also agency links to contact direct for the process pls? @suleeha

And where will they live? Where will they work? US citizens can't even afford rent.

it's ok 85% of them just continue on to Canada. Both out countries are drowning FAST... Today Ontario alone announced plans to set into action to build 1.8 BILLION new homes. Who can afford to live in them because anyone living here CANNOT. Average rent for a Average house is 3500.00 per month plus water, gas, and hydro. To buy they want 20% down and Average price is 1million for a starter home. \nWorld wide we have a MAJOR issue we ALL have to get rid of the evilness with in and make the world rigorous and good again. We the PEOPLE hold the power.

Having said the apartment is being monitored by CCTV but not true really the superintendent not only broke into my rented apartment at 164 Madison Avenue TNT and stole my stuff but also hit the floor at unit 205 repeatedly in midnites also (the landlord said without having he moved to another unit or else where) through my repeated complaints too to such low education bad and shameful attitudes ugliness types and nasty type the landlord also just ignored my complaints not to mention the policies also ignored these low worst class of such life assaults fierce impacts in Toronto! The broke in matters and life assult impacts were also ignored by unreasonable disgusting excuses or their own lies excuses must be so ridiculous even though I did not miss any rental payment though! Worthless of such in particular where I rented my living premises EVER! \n\nNo wonder the criminals rate is serious in Toronto the polices cannot avoid their mistakes too !

@Mac Ronan \nOh, there's _plenty_ of housing, however, unlike my parent's and grandparent's generations, the buying market is unfathomably skewed, to the detriment of single families. This is largely because of the bulk buy up of properties by hedge funds, which in turn rent these properties at exorbitant costs, and severely limiting the supply of homes available to buy by prospective homeowners. Another factor is the curtailing of multiple family housing (as in affordable apartment buildings and duplexes) due to unprecedented restrictions on development zoning permits for the average citizen,\ninstead favoring the whims of commercial and gated community developers, most of whom have contributed to the campaigns of the various city council members who enact these policies. Beginning with deregulation and less focus on community development under Reagan, the crowding out of potential new home buyers saw an upsurge after the '08 crash. With thousands of Americans facing homelessness with impending foreclosure, most were forced from their homes, and thus a huge upsurge in demand for lower cost rentals for tenants that now had terrible credit ratings.Their former homes (sometimes entire neighborhoods), however, were purchased dirt cheap by aforementioned hedge funds and large rental property realtors from banks desperate to recoup even a fraction of their losses due to the crash. This policy of 'pump and dump' mass property purchases continued, largely turning the once suburban neighborhoods of homeowners into strictly assets to be squeezed for every bit of profitability possible. Even as the economy stabilized, even after the big banks profited overall from these foreclosures, because there were no lasting effective measures taken to prevent this housing situation from reoccurring, nor was the issues surrounding the housing market for single family home ownership ever addressed, let alone properly rectified, the housing market steadily constricted. As the U.S. gasps a last breath in it's death nell through late stage capitalism, there is no future policies or government reforms championing loudly for affordable home ownership on the horizon, and this is not likely to change anytime soon, not as long as the megalomaniacal entities continue to usurp any chance for the American Dream to be realized for all future generations.

There so many jobs that are over working their employees but those employees also want to work because of the high cost of living cost of living should not be so high no one should be homeless … owning a home or renting should be affordable for everyone that’s is willing to work a normal 30 to 40 hr work week … shouldn’t be no such thing as unemployment but sadly this is the case because of greedy business owner greedy government so many things that is the reason for struggling world in the end we all need to accept Jesus Christ as our lord d and saviour, repent of your sins turn towards righteousness caring and loving each other

As far as housing goes, I think they should limit how many houses they let these so-called companies by up and rent them out to derelicts and destroy neighborhoods and bring the property value down

Too bad, we've got a housing crisis and our economy is crumbling & we cannot the financial help they'd need via medicaid, food stamps, rent assistance, etc. Fix your own problems instead of adding to ours.

All US people here saying “Let’s help our citizens first” or “Turn them all back” well, for all those “digital nomads” from the US coming to Mexico we say the same thing, rents are going up exponentially and displacing the locals. You are not helping Mexico’s economy by spending your dollars here.

Free rent free food free medical. You’d be running through razor wire too ?

listen we are over run with homeless everywhere in america i never thought id see this but its said we helping everybody except vets citizens but got billions for ukraine and all these foreign places help HOME 1st i will keep everybody in prayer and stop the homeless ppl dont want to work Scenario thats not it they cut things here then send money where it shouldn’t be ?my family homeless now and barely got help fl is my home and i had to leave hard to rent hard to find places and barely no help now in ga we shall see its hard all over end of times folks prayforall we need to repent and line up as The Most High wants ❤️

The audacity wow Americans are suffering too. Rent high as ever, rent increases regularly now, food high af, etcetera I mean dmn

Send them back why keep helping migrants when all these homeless Americans people. The government don’t put them in Motels or give them health care. Some migrants get free homes pay no rent or utilities I saw a article about it. There need to be stricter regulations and Americans people come first look at all those homeless families needing free housing and utilities and food. Every time you call a bank or somewhere you get a non-English speaking person and everything get all confused and messed up. Give Americans people their jobs back. Close the border every 5 or 10 years reopen for two weeks make them stay where ever they come from. Look how thaws Americans are getting killed in Mexico and look how they set there mattress on fire at the border detention center. Barricade all borders and if you come across any border crossing they be punished put them on the chain gang or something. Use force if needed .. !

I absolutely love this. Now I can cancel all my upcoming vacations, cancel Christmas, cancel birthdays, hey maybe even cancel paying rent, but at least I know that all that saved money will go to these fine folks and providing them with free healthcare housing. What a world.

IF WE STOP THE GOVERNMENT COPONS, RENT,HOSPITAL, SCHOOL FREE FOR PREGNANT AND “single moms” and “poor people “ there’s can stop me as a Latino know what they want… they want everything free.

Facts they want you to make 3 to 4 times the rent then they are asking for the same thing the bank is asking for to get a home loan. And even if you have the income then you need to meet the credit criteria. It’s fucking ridiculous especially in California with their crappy homes and home owners or I should say slum lords plus there is nothing that protects the citizens from getting cheated but all these laws and barriers to protect home owners and property management companies. We gave away too much power to the industrial corporations and government or I should say our forefathers did. I know I didn’t give up nothing I was born into this crap

All this trouble to come here and work like a fucking slave just to pay high rent and expensive everything .

What are they gonna do if they do get to the US? They can’t get a job, they can’t rent an apartment or buy a house let alone a car. And what are we just gonna give them free housing and food? Know how many people in this country are struggling as it is. This is my thought..The people that want these illegal migrants to enter the country so bad, should bring them into their own homes, let them sleep in their beds, eat their food, and use all their shit.

Here's the rub. The CIA messed that country up. Should be no need for them to seek asylum. They are NOT the problem. The super rich are.\nOne commenter on here said we can't afford housing ourselves. Is that the newcomers fault? Or the millionaires buying up property & raising rents so they can become billionaires?\nI'd say the billionaires.

Meanwhile in Canada, Toronto has become a tent city while refugees are housed in hotels and then public housing. \nI have always been a supporter of immigration and refugee asylum but it's becoming obvious even to people like me that we can no longer afford to bring in more people who sadly will continue to just drain our system until it collapses. \nThe average person is barely keeping their head above water with rent and food prices. There comes a point when you have to acknowledge that your cup is empty and there is nothing left to give.

Fixed machine guns would take care of that. Try that in North Korea or China for that matter. We can't even take care of our own. Rent is thru the roof. Mortgages and housing is damn near impossible. This country is over. It's done. We'll fall in five

There is housing it's just many ppl can't afford it. Rent should equal 1 weeks pay. Why even make a minimum wage if it's not used right?

I just met the angriest person I have come across in a while in Claremont, CA... An older fellow just trying to get someone to sign for rent control right by a farmer's market\n\nShit hit home upon reading this comment\n\nEDIT: Mac Ronan's comment, but it ran out of space for replies

Canada's 3rd World Mass Immigration policy has made Canada a 3rd World country. 70% of immigrants are poor and unskilled. They cost tax payers $60 billion every year in debt and taxes. Immigration creates poverty, homelessness, food bank use, leading cause of crime, gangs, guns, causes higher food prices, higher rents and housing costs, increases CO2 and climate change= Carbon Tax, causes huge environmental destruction. Political hypocricy everwhere. After 50 years of this failed policy Canadians have never been so poor.

Please don't send them to Canada: it cost $20 for bacon and eggs and my rent has doubled in the past 4 years.

U wanted biden ?\nEnjoy biden now\nHigh crime\nHigh inflation \nHigh iligal imigration \nHigh rent cost \nHigh food cost \n?\nLow income \n????

It's such b******* that our country doesn't put a stop to this b*******. Americans are having a hard enough time as it is with housing, rent, food, we are just getting COVID under control - These other countries don't vaccinate. Folks can't read English, they want to drive, they don't get insurance - sorry I'm against it I think the border wall needs to go up and stay up, increase border security -They don't respect our laws.
