entered canada can get free housing and healthcare if they managed to get refugee status, refugees are nowadays better off than normal canadians, at least refugees dont pay rents or buy a home,

The upper class is safe, and the lower class is safe. The middle class will still get smoked to provide tax dollars to help with housing and assistance. Rent is outta control, and don't even think about trying to buy a house, unless you want 1 bed 1 bath for $80,000.

Bro i been eating ramen an eggs, workin constantly and i STILL barely afford rent and important expenses, no fckin way im payin more taxes bc these mfs think they deserve to barge in like my dad after 23yrs. Aint gonna happen bnrs

I’m not trying to be disrespectful to anyone who comes to Canada but if you’re coming here legally, you should be arrested and charged but I also got a question. How are you going to take care of yourself food here is expensive rent is expensive utility bills expensive everything here is expensive, so how are you going to support yourself if you’re coming here with no money no resources it doesn’t make sense to me where the rest of us Canadians who live here are already struggling with high taxes. The high cost of living here is not any better than the USA so what are governments going to hand out free money to you every month give them a hotel to stay in give them free food is the taxpayer is it gonna end up paying for all of this? I’m just asking because I’m curious. .

yeah come on in and enjoy sky high rent , crap wages . welcome to america … it’s not what you think it is.

I can barely pay rent, buy fokd for my family working fulltime. And the democrats want to bring people over for votes??? Shows that when I voted for Biden it was a mistake. And he doesn't give a f@#$ about me or my family excuse I'm not the skin color they want to pander to at that moment

Your making rent and food go up stay over there plz

Canadian here, and this video is right on the money for some of the most frustrating things about Canada! \n\nOur proudest achievement is our healthcare system, but up until recently, the government has been choking it little by little. Making it so difficult for any Doctor/Nurse to even consider finding work here (and making it impossible to afford getting a medical degree) because you are literally doing it for the love of the game at this point. \n\nEven if you become a specialist in a specific field (which pays really well compared to most careers here) it is unlikely any hospital will hire you. Our hospitals are only interested in making profits by pushing painkillers on Canadians, rather than hiring medical professionals to help fix them. If you become a family Doctor, it is a bit better, because you can open your own practice. But kiss your social life goodbye if you do! The most annoying part of this problem is some people blame all this on the fact that we have healthcare and assume a private American system would be better. Where the real problem is we need more workers and funding into our healthcare to make it better. Not making lives harder for poorer Canadians!\n\nWeirdly enough our Tax system issue didn't stand out as a problem to me until I left Canada and see how taxes are marked elsewhere! It blew my mind that I didn't have to do math when I visited another country and the way we advertise wages is purposely deceptive! In Ontario, we succeeded in getting a $14 hour minimum wage (only in Ontario and maybe one other province). Which sounded amazing until you realize that's $14 without tax... To compare, I was incredibly lucky in Toronto where I found a place for 750 a month and was earning $16 an hour. Sounded like more than enough for the cost of living, but after taxes I was pretty much putting more than half my monthly income in rent. On top of that I had to pay for student loans and other bills. \n\nBottom line, if you are wanting to move to Canada for our beautifully scenic environments, free healthcare, and a stable job? \n\nMove to Finland.

AS AN AMERICAN WE CAN BARELY PAY OUR OWN FUCKING RENT AND BEING PUT OUT OF OUR HOMES. Theres just not enough money or anything to go around.

If they came together like this to fight back the cartel and the corrupt government ??‍♂️ we can barely afford to live in America az it is they guna be in a rude awaking when they see rent is 3500 for a 1 bed 1.5 bath smh

Never happened our border are secure cause President Biden says they are for sure . And Martha’s Vinyards doesn’t have tourist bedrooms for rent during season. Not one bed . Nada

Yeah fuck this ... The amount of homeless and the current price of rent and food .... Yeah sorry, but BORDER IS CLOSED!!!! NO ABIERTO

Listen to the reason.\nYou really think because there's land here that this country can support millions and millions of people at one time it will destroy what everybody is so violently try to get to. Their will be no jobs because there will be to many people, if there's very little money and way to many people they , us will have no money for rent there will be make shift cities just like the countries they are trying to get away from. This country will fall from to many people. Close the border let countries know there's no jobs build the wall

Reminds of this time I lifted up this picture frame in a house we were gunna rent a long time ago and pure cockroaches came pouring out from every side.

Keep them out! Us is already highly populated! California is way over the top already! Slow down the papers for outsiders! I am a American born citizen, 23 now , my parents came to the USA over 30 years to escape the war on a ship and have No citizenship and have hard time getting it and support. These guys get the easy green card and government benefits and shit. Including housing! Wtf we struggle to pay bills already and rents expensive as fk. Don’t let anymore of them in! Send them somewhere else or send them home!

Maybe there's many homeless people because rent is so high?? Rather than because of tolerance and liberalism?

I’m Lebanese , i applied for work permit 1.5 year ago, got approved a month ago and got my visa 2 weeks ago( for Edmonton, Alberta). My hourly wage is 16.46$ before tax. I’ve calculated my cost of living ( rent, food, transportation, etc.. ) It was acceptable back then . When i applied earlier , it was my dream to come to canada. I’ve struggled a lot to get the visa and I’ve booked a flight that was supposed to be next week , but honestly things have differ from when I’ve applied. I used to see affordable housing and cost of living, not anymore. Things have changed there, from cost to living to rents to increased crime rate ( it’s even higher and more tragical than Lebanon itself in his worst current situation) and so on and so forth. I’ve literally canceled everything and I’m not even regretting my decision.\n\nWorking on a slight above minimum wage, in a weather that’s -20+ for long months just to be in ‘CANADA’ and live from paycheck to paycheck isn’t going to seduce me honestly.

once they get to the border crossing they will still let them in. Trudeaus agenda is mass immigration. Right now we have more immigration than any other country in the world. 500 thousand coming this year. Wait till you you see the price of rents and houses at the end of this year.

It pretty easy. Cross over and you collect food stamps welfare get your rent paid section 8. ?.

Somebody tell how expensive it is to live here people can’t even keep up with their rent. Imagine if we took everybody in it would be a disaster.

the og people in these 2 countries are being wiped out by immigrants we are ending up homeless so they can have a house and say we are a issue if you go and poll people like i did you will find in most homes is a family from another country and lots of canadians and u.s citizens on the street not being able to rent a home and those that come here start to say we are the issue

Canada is no good anymore, specially nowdays people just going somewhere else or choosing between to pay rent or buy grocries plus to park a car on the streets in front where we live you have to pay nowdays, this is so ridiculous and insane, this country is too much, its not for humans being anymore, goverment dont care at all. Still work so hard or overtime they take all your money, they just want to keep us like a modern slavery 2023

Yes!! Good job ? we Canadians cannot afford all these immigrants coming by the hundreds!! We have Canadians who need housing and cannot afford to pay their rent. They must go to the immigration office in the right and proper way. Roxanne road should have closed a long time

I know people that Can Not Find a Place to Rent at alone afford the high Rental cost.

Sadly they don't realize until they get here it's fk up also i see homeless migrants freezing and sleeping on the street in ny. No work high rent etc etc the average ny cant even afford to live ?

That's why our rent is so high. These people coming over living off welfare

Go back home . I know pople that are no renting to them give the job or sell them anything. Make it worst for them here ??

Lady: I think I will have a better life in Canada\nCanada: No problem. That'll be $2500/m rent\nLady: ?

Thanks ladies…\nCurious why you live in what is well known to be the most expensive city in the country and judge the whole country by the rent etc you pay in Toronto? The rest of the country hates Toronto too!\nYou want to make a lot of money but don’t like to work long hours? That’s not how it works btw…\nIf you are waiting 8 hours to be seen at a hospital it is because you have gone in w a non emergency. That is what triage is…get a doctor and don’t use hospitals unless you have serious emergencies.\nYou are lovely ladies and I hope you discover how things work over time…\n\nPS The weather means you need winter activities! Embrace it!! Get outside…cross country ski, go tobogganing, get some skates…not so boring unless you’re stuck inside!\nGood luck.

Welcome to Canada\nwe will pay all your needs\neverything is free\nif its not come on down to California \nAmericans taxpayers will cover all your cost\nfood rent living expenses \nWe love giving half our check to the state an feds so they can spoil you illegals\nCOME ON IN\nITS ALL FREE

So about 5000 people are crossing a month, now find housing for all these people, no wonder rent is insane for everybody, there is no way lower income people can keep pace with this influx creating a massive shortage of basic places to live at reasonable prices. Sharing is great, but once you can't handle your own homeless people, then something else needs to happen.

That's because job's going out of us.they need to try another ave for work homelessness is crazy ppls cannot afford rent

Don't speak english or French, probably have no skills needed and thinks will have a better life? Wow, they are in for a rude awakening. Sky high rent, don't make much money, high taxes, terrible health care with long waits, bad weather, shrinking job markets. But hey, get a free coat and gloves?

As a Canadian don't see them surviving here. Won't be able to work without a Sin number and rent is extremely expensive. They will be living on the streets in the cold.

Go to Canada, therw they give you welfare to pay for rent and food, ahahhaahahahah, go, go , goooooooo

Free food , rent and wifi for migrants right now!.❤❤❤

This is disgusting if you want to come to any country including Canada do it the right way legally!!! How long till we run out of money!! We have Canadians that can’t afford food and heat and rent. But we take in more and more. Take care of the citizens already here!!!!

Yea come to America… where crime is an all the time problem … eggs are $9… no one can afford rent … no one is paid a living wage and our president doesn’t even know what day it is. WELCOME

Here in UK ?? the government gave a rigid rules for employers and landlords, if you rent or give jobs for illegal 30 thousands pounds of fee pay or jail.

Hope they can afford to buy food and pay rent, they’re in for a real surprise. Sometimes the grass isn’t always greener

I was in chile a few months ago. Chile had accepted Venezuelan refugees. What most chilenos said was a lot of the Venezuelans were used to the government paying for everything (utilities, rent etc) so when the Venezuelans arrived at chile they were shocked they had to work. A lot of them did not assimilate well in Chile. Crime was high in Santiago Chile

Don’t come to Canada. You won’t be able to afford a house. Good luck finding a place to rent. If you do find a place to rent I hope you making some big money or else your sharing a place with other people, doesn’t that sound fun? Oyeah, 10$ for a bag of lettuce and 1.60$ a litre of fuel, good luck.

Take care of our citizens first!!! Not the illegals that steal our jobs and real estate etc!!! Prosecute the businesses and corporations that hire these criminals. Prosecute the banks that lend to them and apartments that rent to them. Then they will self deport!! There is a legal process and they refuse to abide by then they need to fix and riot in their own country in order to make things better instead of running from their problems!!

Dang it , keep the hell put of canada . There are lots of ways to stop this-- among , employers charged, no medical of any type, renting,selling,housing illegals gets jail and fined , No schooling ,any employer found getting, aiding , goving jobs to illegals means jail time --- \nSuppose any of these measures will be used, after all, justin had c hinese p olice s s tations in our country without telling anyone --- this is the last straw with all these illegals.

Somebody should warn them about home and rent prices in Toronto

This policy encourages people (regularpeople, criminal) ?all around the world try to enter illegally to canada as a refugee, becuase to enter to Canada as a immigrant, you need to spend a lot of money, wait for 3 1/2 to 4 years (if you get 70 points, you will pass otherwise you are rejected), then you need to have money to come here to settle down and find a job (then you need Canadian experinece)...... abd so on. But as a refugee, all expenses is paid, you do not need to pay for rent, and so on... WHICH ONE DO YOU CHOOSE TO ENTER TO CANADA!!!!????

Justin Trudeau has destroyed the housing market in Canada! No one could afford a house, or even to rent a house, or an apartment, or to buy groceries or gasoline for their vehicles to go to work! Canada is in the worst shape that I’ve ever seen in my entire 60 years of life

Meh when they realize they came here for a better life and then end up working at tim hortons for minimum wage and paying 2k for rent they will leave.

this makes me sick. i was born in canada but luckily i have european background and i could go there.....i used to rent rooms to Indian students in Ontario - only charged them $300 a room to each student, only had a set of twins share a room.....as a child of immigrants i have a soft spot for these students...and to see this video makes me literally cry. it's sad, disgusting...\n\nthanks trudeau for exploiting MORE POOR.... Trudeau you are not a Canadian in spirit.

Problem is we have ran out of apartments to rent. And now rents are twice what they were 5 years ago.
