Hi! 15:26 : the post secondary education history if I’m applying for my fathers visitor visa means I enter his education details right? Please confirm. \nThanks for the video! Really helpful.

No, I’m not interested in visiting the us. Too many mass shootings.

Just watched a video about Gary, Indiana and I'm shocked. How do you let so much of your housing and infrastructure fall to pieces? Toxic capitalism. Gun culture. Rampant racism. When I realized that what I loved about America was a myth, I lost interest in living there.

I'm from Montreal. This was miss interpreted. He was welcoming them to the neighborhood.

I'm moving to Mexico. They let them people in.

There are plenty of school shootings in US cities of less than 50,000 people. I’m not sure where you are recommending to go that doesn’t have massacres. Please google the statistics.

I'm a canadian who moved to a third world country 10 years ago. The usa was never on my list as a possible new home. In fact, it was on my list of countries to avoid. When I'm forced to fly through the usa, I never leave the airport. Recently, the usa has become much worse than my present home. Much worse!

????? I'm happy

As an American, I'm sorry our private healthcare system has taken your doctors. What's even more scary about that statistic is many Americans can't even afford the doctors we have, so at least Canadians have equal healthcare opportunities even though they have to wait. Many Americans don't even get the luxury to wait. If only America caught up to public healthcare policies the global system would be more fair and we'd have people becoming doctors because they love it, not because it makes them rich.

He said McGill and Montreal, I'm happy

LMIA bare dso m vv una

The thing that sucks is that this is not only hurting the US but Mexico as well. I get it. People want a better life, but it shouldn't be at the expense of other people. They still have to think about food, housing, health care, and so much more. A strain on an already crumbling economy. I'm working for a company that has a Medicaid/Medicare contract. Seeing the benefits some people get vs. what they need and cant/can afford is heartbreaking. Sad

To all the smug Canadians out there (I'm Canadian) I have a question: Who would you rather have as a southern neighbour? Somebody like Ireland or Jamaica would be nice, but who's there to save our asses when the Russian bear or the Chinese dragon decides we have something they want.

To all the butthurt Canadian right-wingers in the comments, I'm also coming over. Cry me a river, lol

Are you AI? I find it hard to believe that someone could keep up this level of annoying conversation. This is the first time I'm seeing you. Also the last. Sorry, you're just not my cup of tea. \nBTW, there is nothing in this world that could convince me to move to the U.S. NOTHING...I don't even visit there anymore. Don't hate you guys, don't even dislike you, but I love my home. I'll stay right here in Canada.

Students k liye kaisa h..unke liye rent m rhna safe h.. Khas kar ladkiyo k liye.?? Crime rate jiyada to nhi ..?\nOr heath facility availble h??\nInn sab k baare m b batate to or b better hota..Thanks..?

I'm laughing at him that he's our PM.

I'm willing to believe that Canada does genuinely need these high levels of immigration, but if that is the case then the government had better figure out a way to increase the housing supply or else none of them are going to have a place to live.

Ashir Sahb ... Salam m huge of your drama dhuwaan .... ?

There are a whole bunch of reasons why our housing prices are so high, but a big one is market manipulation by the realtor cartel. I'm sure a half hour video could be made just covering the most egregious tactics they have used to inflate prices and therefore their commissions.

Jo h vo Aap? m bta dena h Aap ki video m jror dekhti hoon

As a Canadian, I’m glad you addressed that things aren’t perfect here, either. Housing crisis. Brain drain to US. Etc

1:11 I'm surprised it's not 0% since now they're Americun too..

7:38 if the US government finds that a large percentage of your countries population overstays their visa, they will approve the H1 – B for three years, but stamp your passport for less, making it so you have to come back to your home country more than after the original three years. Also, try traveling to third country for vacation. For that country but you can’t apply for it from the United States as a US visa holder. I’m in the process right now, and was fortunate to get my sponsorship through a nonprofit which is exempt from the lottery from what I understand. It’s still a ridiculous process though.

As a Canadian I’d prefer my country adopted America’s approach to immigration, and I’m not alone.\n\nAs someone who has only ever voted Liberal or NDP, I’m likely to vote for the People’s Party Canada in the next election over the issue of immigration.\n\nIt’s as if you believe that both Canada and the US only exist to take Indian immigrants.\n\nNo H1B visa holder in the US is going to leave and come here lol. This country is now a south asian dumpster fire.

I don’t know if it was a joke and I’m giving the reaction that was expected, but I am an American and can attest nobody here is wearing shoes to bed. I don’t even like wearing socks when I’m at home.

Being a born Canadian I’m \n50 : 50 on do I move down to the states and wait for real civil rights or just wait until Alberta realizes it’s better off as a state

I think the US system is a bit too strict, but having been to Toronto and Vancouver, I’m sorry but the degree of immigration there is too much to allow for assimilation of cultures into a monolithic Canadian culture (which is essential for a nation imho). The US has a stronger unified culture despite being multiethnic - plus it’s services/housing are not under strain like in Canada.

I can 100% relate to Sanjay’s situation. Most of my friends are in the same boat as mine. The lottery system is the most absurd I have ever seen. Literally, careers are decided by fate and not by merit. Canadian system is merit based. Just imagine how tough it would be for companies attempting to sponsor Visas. \n\nIf there are comparable salaries and job openings in Canada. I’m sure a large chunk of the skilled workforce is willing to move to Canada simply because of mental stress and uncertainty in the US.

I've been in the US with temporary protective status since 1992 when I was 4. I came stuffed inside a truck. I'm 34 now. I can say it's broken. I see people get their citizenship all the time.im still here waiting...

Tyler, stop glossing over the U.S.'s horrid gun culture and especially the school and mass shootings.\n\nThe bizarre obsession with guns is the U.S.'s Achilles heel. The gun issue is a totally relevant and significant deterrent to moving to and even just visiting the U.S.\n\nI'm so glad I live in Canada! It's not perfect but it's a strong, beautiful country. The U.S. has a long way to go before it can compete with my home. ?? ❤

It took me 17years and a small forest worth of reams of paper to get from F1 to US passport through the H1B route, but I'm glad I'm done with that Kafkaesque mess that is the US immigration system.\nThere is so much ignorance in the US population of what is needed to immigrate to the US. A lot of the accusations that are leveled at employment based immigrants are just plain wrong: \nAnti-immigration hawks claim we lower the wages in the field: Wrong because the company has to prove they pay you at least the average prevailing wage for your position. An average cannot lower the prevailing wage.\nIt also costs the company many tens of thousands to file for a foreigner, so the company would very much prefer to higher an American. There's just not enough talent out there to fill ALL the positions needed to stay competitive. The company literally needs to advertise your position for 90s during the certification process and prove no locals are qualified. Companies meet this by always having positions available.

I'm seeing a lot more anti-immigration sentiment in Canada these days. Is there an updated 2023 poll?

One thing that’s tossed out of consideration is that a higher skilled immigration rate means more skilled people in general competing for the same jobs and depressing already out of sync middle class wages, as a future Electrical Engineer I don’t want to compete with the best from India, China, Pakistan, etc, when I’m already competing with the best homegrown US candidates for ever more demanding and limited entry level engineering jobs

I'm a Chinese Born Canadian trying for a green card and this hits close to home. \n\nI have a coworker grew up in the Midwest, who doesn't know how to read or write Chinese but faced the risk of being deported back to China because his father never managed to get a green card. This guy had a PhD in Machine Learning and was one of the smartest people i knew. \n\nI would've felt supremely guilty if i'd won the lottery but he was stuck on his student visa, given that I can work in the US on a TN but he needs an H1B to stay.

They can continue to beat us at this game as far as I'm concerned. Doesn't bother me that we're not at 30% immigrants in the US

Ladies, for all these reasons, every single one, I'm considering leaving - and I was born here and lived here my entire life.

How can u throw food anywhere even if it’s India or abroad I’m shocked these ladies claim they throw food. It’s sad so many people are deprived of food, how can u support throwing food. People have no respect for food.

I'm very left wing and sometimes I have a hard enough time dealing with certain Canadian liberals, I can't imagine regularly dealing with American conservatives.

I'm 4th generation my granddaughter is now 6th... where do we go home to??

When you get immigrant saying, im leaving I’m too proud to stay in this country that says it all

I'm 68, in british Columbia. I have always said that, thankfully, our border helps keep American culture out of Canada. I would not move to the USA even if I was offered $5 Million. The angst, anger, guns, ignorance AND GREED are beyond my tolerance. Also, the American infatuation with wealth and celebrity is rather sad. Healthcare alone, Wealthiest Country,....phfffff

Ashir bai i m your fan being an actor and writer. I had to take handshake from Novartis (working in sales and marketing) 2 yrs ago because the division of co in which i was working discontinued. After that i worked as dairy farm manager. But right now i m free planning to start my small business. Can you guide me how I can apply for immigration of cannada. I always believed in honesty and doing my work with my own hands but I always found myself misfit in this society bec never got any undue favour from anybody. Plz guide. \nTariq Gujrat Pakistan.

I’m Canadian born but I wish I had a country I could move back to. Poilievre is talking common sense.

I,m French Canadian close to Vermont by the news I got,gun trump and racist prick no never American dream or Canadian dreams,it’s not hard to choose…

Yep, after 10 years of living in Canada I’m moving back home because of these exact reasons. It’s outrageous the cost of living here. You just live to work with no hope of owning a home. Absolute joke.

OMG..I feel for these people, BUT AMERICANS need to come first..I’m NOT racist, BIDEN already brought tooo many Afghans into US..Now Venezuelans want in, there’s a process

The only reason I moved to the USA is if my ex-wife threatened to move to the same town I'm living in

Americans feel everyone has usa high on a pedestal which couldn't be further from the truth. Hollywood has done a good job of social engineering the people to think usa is the best and do everything the right way and any other way is ìnferior.\nHaving experience working with Americans who were nice people but extremely ignorant that other countries can do things better and try to change everything without considering there is better ways..\nIm not Canadian I'm Australian but being a cousin in the Commonwealth of Nations. We all have a similar philosophy and having a constitutional monarchy protects from tyranical fascist governments.

Look I get that alcohol is bad, I'm not a Muslim but I hate alcohol but what right do I have to tell anybody what to do? This is England, we have freedom here. If you want sharia law go to Afghanistan.
