well Canada isnt ONLY Vancouver...

I wish all non-whites would leave Canada.

This story is very true. I came to Canada when i was 10. Was raised in Canada and life was great. All that changed in the last 10 years. Everything is sooo expensive you have to cut back on leisure activities that you need to keep your mind healthy after a long work week. All i did was work long hours for the necessities for me and my family. After a long conversation about a year ago with my wife, we decided to move back to Portugal (I have dual citizenship). We moved this past summer and couldnt be happier. Life here is much more laid back and you are not charged to do the simple leisure activities like going to a provincial park. Food is cheaper, housing is cheaper, insurance is cheaper and weather is 100x better. No more having to hibernate at home in the winters. Only thing i found more expensive here was electronics and fuel. Something needs to change in Canada.

Turdeaus Canada = Scam\nUnfortunately, Canadians have to wait until the demise of this treacherous traitor

As a canadian born here and raised by first gen immigrants this is true. Parents came from poorer countries and came to Canada for peace and to be better off financially. They worked hard and made sure I would live a better life then them by focusing on school and getting a good paying job. Fast forward, I graduate university landed a good job and am still struggling in this country. Feels like deja vu now Im considering moving countries for the same reason my parents did.

Calm down people. They said that they deployed physical barriers to stop this attempt to cross. Obviously the measure in place prevented them from coming. Not saying they should be allowed in but how can you not feel sorry for them. Im wondering how Americans would feel if for some reason Americans needed to flee and were not allowed into Canada or even Mexico. Probably like some of these people.

Got offered work in Canada and Qatar, chose Qatar guess I was right

Canada seems a scary place to be.

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT STARTED SELLING CANADA TO CHINA BILLIONAIRES DECADES AGO WORSEN NOW DESTROYED THE CANADIAN LIVES...FOREIGN FROM CHINA RICH! MOST CANADIANS POOR LIVING ON THE POVERTY LINE!!!

Is Canada perfect? No. Would I trade Canada for most any other country in the world to live in? Nope. Enjoy the video.

Only the propaganda makes Canada look good and worthy.

Even though I think, as a tourist, Canada is the most beautiful place in the world. I didn't know there was the appeal to live there... I mean, talking about the young age (20-40s).

cuz Canada is a communist country like china.

i moved from canada when i was 10 and a half, and i'm kind of missing when the country was a good place. i'm watching it collapse from south florida now and it's honestly depressing but not even surprising anymore

Do not know Canada but finding the cost of living higher than in the UK sounds a little bit hard to swallow . I live in South East Asia and go to Europe quite often (Paris - Dublin - London ) and the UK and Ireland are clearly on the top most expensive place to live . For example in Ireland the foreigners coming are young single graduates who wants 2/3 years with the Big Tech and does not mind spending 1000€ / month for a bedroom in a shared flat. And with the exception of high level managers sent for few years by their companies (so everything paid) you never see any families going there to settle ...there is no way they can afford it , even the young locals are looking for jobs abroad .

As an Indian i must say one thing immigration will make canada Another Pakistan

The problem with the international students is the cost of tuition specially for student from poor countries, Canada is not design to support them in anyway ,the cost of living is so high that is almost impossible to give a proper education, and today cost of living is crazy to mortgaged your life for the Canadian diploma that not guaranteeing you success after paying all the money is a big gamble

Canada is fckdup???

Palestinians should be brought to UK, US, Canada, Australia and Europe. Palestinians don't like the islamic countries

The problem with Canada is it's a lefty environment, to say the best, it's a socialism. Until this country turn right and capitalism, it going to continue to decline.

I used to be proud of Canada

I'm Canadian and cannot understand why ANYONE would EVER want to move to the US. Where you can be shot at anytime, where social injustice reins and racism rules. Where the country is heading for fascism. Give me peaceful, polite beautiful, free Canada (did I mention safe?) any day and I will happily pay more for groceries, YES there are some things that need changing, but that requires voters who actually want improvements.

There is NO other country I would ever choose to live in. Born and bred here in Canada. Things are broken everywhere. Still believe my country is a wonderful place to live a beautiful, mostly peaceful, non gun hungry population, life. No place is perfect. But we seem to have laws that respect ALL people that are legally here. There is ALWAYS room for improvement. No gonna lie. Again. I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

A lot of these are rich country problems. Which is why we get such a huge number of immigrants from developing countries. Ans almost none from developing ones. Only about 10,000 a year from the USA compared to over 300,000 a year from developing ones. But while I returned to Canada before I retired to care for my elderly mother, I had been approved for a green card in the USA. I lived in LA for 10 years. But my very low out of pocket cost of medical care still makes Canada attractive to me. \n\nBut my kid who was 13 when I moved to the USA, stayed there when I returned to Canada. They have had a green card for 11 years and is soon to become a US citizen. They and their spouse would like to move to Canada but simply cannot make anything like a similar net income in Canada. \n\nBut the housing crisis here is very real for many people.

Canada's quality of life index is the third globally. As one of the worlds very best countries only the very best immigrants will be successful here.

i'm a Carpenter and my wife's a physio and we hardly have enough money to pay rent. glad we waisted 4 years of education for nothing.. our solution is leaving Canada...

Take Canada's government and take freeland and trudeau with u

No one except a bunch of Indians, because for them anywhere is better than living in India (and no other 1st world countries would take in Indians any more except Canada)..

The problem is with the GOVERNMENT! The taxes are confiscatory and that depresses economic activity. Canada is blessed with abundant energy and natural resources but the government restricts drilling and mining which create wealth, prosperity and good jobs.

1: Canada accepts more immigrants than it needs and this causes pressure in employment between locals and new immigrants.\n2: Canada accepts white collar immigrants that does not need and they end up disappointed and working at menial jobs and complaining.\n3. Canada purposely using immigrants to support Canada Pension Plan and if immigrants leave before retirement, its a win-win for Canada since they wont incur healthcare costs at retirement so its better for them to leave so Canada can harvest new immigrants.

I can't even imagine how horrible is the situation in Canada with all those mass deaths and woke agenda tyranny. But in many other countries (such as Australia and the UK), it's the same or even worse ?

Came to Canada from Iraq at the age of 3. Finished college and university. Became a military officer. Now at 33 years old...I am leaving for Thailand. Better people, better food, better climate, much much better women. Never coming back and will be renouncing citizenship. Good luck.

hello \ni want to apply for express entry in canada \nbut i dont know how to strat process \ni want to how to apply for provincial nomination certificate ..?? \nneed help \nthank you

in a few months, Canada's nominal GDP will jump at 2.4 trillion or probably even higher, the GDP per capita at 62k and everybody will want to move to Canada. \n\nconservatives will cry like bitch

Justin Castro is doing his daddy proud by driving Canada to the ground together with the woke and the Khalistani mafia.

South korea vs Canada Choose where you want to live.

Canada lacks housing, so the price of housing goes up due to high demand for homes. Yet no more houses will be built as this will depreciate the existing values of home.

God's mother ok to yuo to help me work I Canada this coming 2024

Canada is larger land wise than the US. So you are wrong there.

I came to Canada over 20 years ago. My own thoughts are that Vancouver is a place where people tend to immigrate and often stay in their own ethnic groups. Particularly Chinese and HK people. I live in a part of Vancouver that is now almost all Chinese and HK people and they mostly don't speak English, and I don't speak Cantonese or Mandarin except for a few words, so we'll never know anything about each other. So, you write off ever knowing your neighbors'. Also the people born in Canada or who came here as small children and went through school together, particularly high school tend to have friend groups that are exclusive to them and it's hard to get past that you aren't one of the 'original' group members. Also, it's dark and rainy here for a good 5 months of the year and there is absolutely nothing going on outside that you can just casually go and do. There's skiing and things, but if you are from a country that has busy street life and street food and night markets, here is the opposite.. go outside in December in the dark and rain and see almost nobody and if you do they probably will just look at the floor. My friends are mostly other immigrants, and that's cool! But for me Canada has been a success financially and a bust socially. I'm fortunate that I bought my house 15 years ago, but if I had to pay the ridiculous rent that people have to pay, on top of the boring social life here I'd be gone from here !

new immigrants go to Toronto and Vancouver , the most expensiver cities in Canada. Of course they are going to struggle.

My family and I left Canada for Mexico a few years ago. It was the best thing we ever did and I wish we had done it sooner. Both of our families have been in Canada since before it was even a country. It was time to move on to greener pastures. We are entrepreneurs and we realised Canada is not the place for people like us. We would have lost everything had we stayed.

Canada is broken and our leader loves China.\n\nI bet many Canadians would donate for a first class move to there for him.

There is an echo from 70 ties and 80 ties that Canada is very affordable country where you can earn a lot of money. It's funny that such a vast county rich in commodities and energy has expensive houses, apartments, food for only 30 million inhabitants. Who is crazy to live in a cold place working just to pay rent, food and bills.

Complaining people, but you still in canada.

Born in Toronto but I had to get out. Not just TO but all of Canada is broken. The cost of living, rentals, food, the educational system and hospitals are all government run and horrible. No options. I'm in SE Asia now because you just can't prosper in Canada. The governments are soooo corrupt in Canada but to be quite honest, Canadians are really dumb and they don't see it.

as an Immigrant, I'm done immigrating for now but I get taxed net net around 45% + HST + Carbon tax + Property taxes, for all these taxes, I get really not much back. I don't qualify for most services, I don't get dental, I don't need many either, but it is putting a lot of pressure on my entrepreneurship aspirations. The healthcare is truly atrocious and still need to fly for medical appointments by good doctors since doctors here are dumber for some reason. If you want to be an entrepreneur who owns a house, Canada is not your place right now. Worst of all is the culture, highly highly introverted in a bad way, cold people, bad social skills, boring conversations and everyone seems to be high on weed. I am glad you have found something to do as a hobby but if you were in the USA you would have 4X the disposable income (and I think we all would still be complaining).

On November 29, 2023, I received news that our African brothers and sisters who came to Canada on visitors visas were stranded and sleeping in the open. I visited the shelter in Mississauga, near Toronto. The disturbing video below is the condition of asylum seekers who came to Canada on a visitors visa. \n\nhttps://youtu.be/7RSL6y0gTN4?si=w7tTI-Amg5ITKrXI

Because Canada is a puppet of the states and less Canada than it ever was.

This is how you do it. 1. I came to Canada in April 2001. Toronto. No jobs. 2. What is some other big city, but affordable? Edmonton, AB. Lets go there. After moving through 7 apartments found the place to buy. Very cheap. 2004. 3. Than sold that place and bought the bigger one. Second child was born. 2007. 4. Suck it up and go through... Anyways... Today, 2023, it is a good house. No debt. A little mortgage left. Three vehicles. Retirement plans. STAY HERE! Work hard! This is the best country on earth!
