Nothing against immigration but make it equal for everyone not 1 specific demographic, Canada really should allow more immigration from Mexico, Central and South America as folks from these Country's have more in common with American and Canadian customs and traditions.

Most Canadian citizens & the immigrants in Canada after getting Canadian PR using it as a gateway to America, they're actually moving to a better country like USA America. Not going back to their home countries like India, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Nigeria, Romania, Greece, Ukraine, Phillipines, Vietnam, Venuzvela, Colombia etc.. Most either move to US apply for a work visa & Green Card for citizenship. Or if they're 'money minded' & highly skilled in demanded professions, they move to Dubai, Kuwait, Doha Qatar, all the Middle East GCC Gulf countries, where they earn twice the money in Gulf, than they might earn in USA, like Surgeons, Doctors, Software Engineers, IT etc

Most people move to Canada and want to live in America North, Toronto, well Toronto has become like any US city, plenty of open daytime shootings, most of Canada would vote to remove the GTA from Canada, I personally love it in Toronto, wouldnt live there but I do like to visit.

That is the same as America have you not been there people are forever working or you went to Canada thinking its free money its a vacation, just go back ho to Ng and sleep like you always did.

China become Canada the to America to spy on America,? As Canada citizens

I’m not being rude however I’ve never understood why immigrants say they come to the US for a better lifestyle when essentially majority of immigrants hold a prestigious skill in their country only to relocate to the US & become a janitor cook are something beneath what they were doing living a comfortable life just to live like a homeless person coming to America ?? are Canada ?? are anywhere. It has never made sense to me unless u live in a poor underdeveloped country. I knew someone who married a US citizen just for citizenship she has been struggling with her kids for the last 7-8 years she’s been here & still struggling but had a great life in her own country. I live in the US & it’s overrated to a certain extent stay in your country you’ll be a happier person.

Canada should let America make them our 51st state

Crissss de cave in my opinion. He should live in America because that's exactly how they behave with different races. He's the type of dude that gives Canada a bad name ????

Why don't you help the thousands of homeless CANADIAN people on Hastings street, before bringing more emigrants to Canada! This government can't even fix our countries own problems ffs but wants to help other countries more, than its own citizens! This country is going down the toilet, like America!

immigration drives the economy. $1000 or more is the application fee mom refundable. White people are racist blaming immigrants on economic and housing problems. That's why there is a 25 per cent tax on non landed immigrants buying houses. Each dollar a person spends created $7 in the Canadian economy. You do the math. 500,000 times $1000 times $7. That is $35,000,000,000. billion. Just the application fee generates how much money in Canada. This does not include the people who applied and not allowed in. It is non refunable. This does include how much money generated by New immigrants spending money. New immigrants are what drives the economy with whatever money they bring here and spend buying cars, furniture, basic necessities and if possible houses or condos. Canada has a declining birth rate. What jobs is this guy talking about? Do a job search. There is no manufacturing in Canada. If any are kept in North America will go to Mexico. White people blame China where people are willing to work hard for less and no union formation or complaints. He does not mention the fees visa students pay which is 5 times Canadian Students pay at university or college is used to offset Canadian students so they pay low tuition fees. Knowing the real reason Canada needs visa and immigrants and how much money it generates just by the application fee, immigrants and visa students don't owe Canada nothing and other countries should adopt the same strategy to attract immigrants. Unfortunately the majority of Canadians are English, Scottish, and Irish which are racist blaming Canada's economic and job problems on immigrants. The majority think they are entitled and ignorant and arrogant. That's why they are called mange cake and Malakas and other names by immigrant groups. That is why you have China towns, Greek towns, Italian, Portuguese, INDIA , Jewish and other ethnic towns and ethnic communities don't visit small white towns or move to other provinces. Canada clean up your problem.

America wins in my opinion. I think this is more of a video based on Canadian pride rather than facts. things Like half a point for hygiene gets thrown in there which is just a slap in the face to Americans.\nThen idiotic statements about it being better because it's more gay friendly. Why would anyone want to take their child to the land of pedophiles. \nThey also talked about their terrible gun laws as if they were doing something good for Canada.\nAmerica wins by a land slide.

Not to be disrespectful!\nI am African decent, have lived in 5 countries, some in Europe & North America. You do not set up a business if you are not ready in mind. I lived in Canada, I found a different passion...so left. I own properties both places! Not everyone will be successful in business! One of the wealthiest countries in the world, I spent 14 hours in Emergency not having treatment for my wife. yet it's the within top 5 wealthy country's in the world! \nA little bit of advice if you want to enter into a business proforma showcasing! \nBring up Excel spreadsheets to make further economy tax brackets, earnings etc. I guess you are pretty young!\n I am old, so I have more experience!\n You don't make business profits in a day or months. It takes years to build a business to become successful anywhere you find yourself!\nWhen your house or property value is half a million euros! \nGDP growth range in Canada from 2017 to 2020 was from 3%, 2.78%, 1.88%, -5.2% now in 2021 growth range was positive to 4.6%. \nIf you want to set up a business you look at these growth factors!\nYou will not make billions nor break even..\nYou need a one off experimental breakthrough and many more ideas with fantastic concepts!\nGood luck ?

Well I already left the Canada last year after having lived for 5 years. I am in my early 30s , south asian immigrant. I had a good paying job. I left because more so because of the social isolation and the pandemic measures. Plus I feel most Canadians may seem polite , but not friendly as in - extremely hard to make friends. Ethnic groups stick to themselves and don't mix. I found dating to be extremely hard and toxic. People have high individualistic mentality and don't open up.\n\nI am now in working in Mexico / Latin America and my mental health has greatly improved. I am able to socialize and women here aren't as stuck up as in Canada. Real world interactions are valued here unlike in Canada where it's all about the apps and social media. Also who doesn't like some good consistent sunshine. Overall , I am happy to have left Canada and am not coming back.

America wins for climate, economy, career and income growth, and housing.\nCanada wins for healthcare, diversity, education, and security.\n\nWhen you earn a better income, you can afford better healthcare and education. Thus Canada loses!.

Indian people too much going to Canada in London and America Australia because India one country too much people Indian.other country very difficult situation

Sad story really, but there are many other international students who get it even worse. At least Indian students speak English, have a very large support community in Canada (where pretty much every other person is from India). I only speak because I know. Try coming to this land with no English and no connections at all ...and from a small country in South America, then you really are in trouble.

IS CANADA, SECULAR, JUST, REASONABLE, HELPFUL, COMPASSIONATE AS ADVERTISED AGAINST THE US, OR IT'S JUST GON Greedy IN THE LAST 7-8 YEARS.\nVISA FEE\nHEALTH FEE\nGIC\nINSTITUTE FEE, EVERY TRIMESTER, NOW WHOLE YEAR ADVANCE FEE.\nFALCIFYING JOBS WHICH DON'T EXIST (EUPHORIC STATE).\nSTUDENTS WILL SELL DRUGS TO SURVIVE???? ONLY THAT WAY. YOU'RE HITTING YOUR OWN LEG WITH AN AXE.\nWAKEUP CANADIAN PM.\nYOUR COUNTRY WILL BE BROKE BEFORE UNUNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I'll be dead honest and say I'm slowly losing my faith in Sikh community recently, because what these khalistani Sikh guys are doing to Hindu community in Canada(or let's generalize to the whole of North America)

When you are born and raise as a Montreal and you visited Canada its obvious we are the historical heart of the country and very different because of the French part of it but we are on the continent of America let's not forget , cest la vie

Please tell me one time that someone took the kirpan and killed someone or stabbed someone ever? \nIf the UK and Canada and other counties have accepted it, what’s the big deal with America? \n\nYou guys want to argue and call it a knife, any student can bring a knife in their backpack. \nHow do you know that? Yet in America, all I hear on the news young teenagers walking in and doing mass shooting. Actually in America you can just go buy a gun anywhere. \n\nLike seriously? And you guys are worried of that?

Yes, I love Canada but the taxes are crazy! We only visited and paid multiple taxes on items, was crazy. Eight hours to see a doctor in ER isn't bad, here in America you can be in the ER for 24 hours or longer depending on why you are there and which hospital you go to, so please don't go to a county hospital, I have left went home or to another one. We learned that the cost of living is much higher and the cost of food, especially if you eat out, and the cost of gas was way higher than in America.Thanks for the information, very informative.

america has the same tax rate fyi & the same wait time in the hospital AND its not free so … being in america where i’ve literally been turned away from getting help when i was sick at the hospital because of money when i was little… hearing you in canada complain about FREE healthcare is annoying & sounds entitled & ungrateful. if u come to america u would be crying

Here in america ppl want to turn it into canada.\nDemocrats biden obama and on and on and on.\nThey have demonized us conservatives in the media .yet we are the ones that want to keep america great.\nIdiots keep voting for their leaders to destroy america.

Your leader Justin Trudeau is literally Fidel Castro. Matter of fact, he’s the son of a dicktator Fidel Castro and that’s why they look alike. Don’t believe me? Look up the picture of both of them. Your country is crap you literally have no freedoms there because of him. Justin said that he admire communist China.\n\nIf you leave Canada to come to America, PLEASE leave your communist liberal ideology in Canada.

I'm sorry but you're coming off a bit precious this is a worldwide problem it's not just happened in Canada I think you do need to get over yourselves a little bit don't you just love First World Problems if you think of America is better why don't you move there I guarantee you won't like it there you have to pay for all your healthcare if you can't just go away and die and that country. Use a just come across like spoilt little brats who can't get your own way. If you don't like it in Canada you can always move back to your original country I know you make call that racist but it's a fact as I say you're just too selfish Brats.

Late seeing your video. Thanks for sharing, ladies. I was in Montreal Canada in the 1970s, when I relocated and married. I loved Quebec, too. I had a blast with my tall handsome husband, now deceased. Laurentian mountains were amazing. I have many memories of my married life in Canada. I have full medical coverage her in the USA. I have been to Central America,1999 where I remarried. No more snow...................... from the houseboat on the lakes of the Ozarks USA m childfree for life, age 70

There is nothing like to “pursue a better life”.......it is a myth governments like UK, America, Canada, Europe, Australia use to provide and continue the cycle of nonstop labour force for globalisation that benefits billionaire donors and politicians......you can have a better life in your country as well.

You think Canada sucks America is worse lol.

Everything you guys said is true but is not just happening in Canada rather in most part of the western world e.g America, Europe mostly in the west…

Sounds like Canada is becoming Americanized! Sounds normal to me , but probably bcuz I live in America lol

Canada population of 38mil;6 million don’t even live there. So wild.\nIn America population of 330mill only 2.5mil live outside of America. Some of these Canadians have never even been to Canada. Again Wild.

Ummmm.. you sound like you moved to 1 city and making your analogy. I am american and lived in Canada for 30 years of my life. Florida a 1 bedroom is 2400 and at best you can get a 800 Sq ft for 15. Got forbid you get sick in America you go bankrupt. You get paid more in the states... lol some states minimum wage is 5 to 7 dollars. Every country has a staffing problem in medical field. If you wanna be a you tuber now yes u.s can be better for that LA, Florida places with no winter where you can film every season is a plus. Come here and try and have baby let's see how fast you go back to canada when your like almost 20,000 in the hole

YOU MUST BE LIVING OUT IN THE WESTERN PART OF CANADA TO BE GENERALIZING YOUR VIEWS, I HAVE LIVED IN CANADA AND THE USA AND I MUST SAY YOU GUYS ARE TOO YOUNG TO BE EXPRESSING A PUBLIC VIEWS LIKE THAT AND IF AMERICA WAS BETTER I WOULD HAVE REMAINED THERE AND NOT RETURNED, YOU CANNOT BE SPITTING OUT SHIT LIKE THAT WHILE STILL RESIDING IN CANADA AND I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO MOVE ELSEWHERE ESPECIALLY TO THE USA TO BE ABLE TO COMPARE NOTES, YOUR VIEWS ARE MISREPRESENTATIVE AND DANGEROUS AND THIS IS WRONG. IN THE LAST 15 YEARS THERE HAS BEEN MORE NIGERIANS MOVING FROM THE US TO CANADA MORE THAN THE OTHER WAY AROUND SO IF YOU ARE HAVING A PROGRAM WHERE YOU HAVE TO AIR YOUR VIEWS THROUGH A WELL THOUGHT OUT RESEARCH AND NOT BY YOUR OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WHILE LIVING IN A SMALL TOWN I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT BUT TO PUT IT IN YOUR OWN PERSPECTIVE WHILE STILL RESIDING IN CANADA IS NOT ONLY ABSURD BUT DECEITFUL. I HAVE LIVED IN CANADA FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS AND IN THE U.S FOR JUST 2 YEARS AND IF I CANNOT MAKE A GENERAL VIEW OF ASSESSMENT OF CANADA, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU ARE MORE QUALIFIED TO DO SO.

Boring, expensive, soulless, no culture, no hope, no opportunity.....yeah.....Canada is slowly shifting to be like America....no worries.....Canada wont exist much longer.

I'm a blk American born and raised and l have serious interest in moving to Canada. Since my people are from the US this is all l know so Im acclimated to the racial climate of the states. A lot of your cons are the same issues many face in the states. Taxes are crazy cost of living is insane wages are stagnant and you basically live to work. I live in Minnesota which is not far from the Canadian border but originally from New Jersey so I'm used to the cold. The health care system is sh*t here. Noone really has money to pay privately that's why our care is funded by employers. At the current moment there is also a shortage of medical professionals so often times you still have to wait months for appointments but you know what l would rather wait and have my taxes pay for my doctor then go into medical debt. My biggest issue with America is you pay all these taxes and reap nothing at least in Canada you can kinda see where the money is going.

It sounds like they treat u like America treat black Americans. Same system only difference is Canada do this to their foreign immigrants and America do it to there black American citizens. Can somebody explain why Africans are mad at black Americans for feeling the same way?

Lol. You knew you were black when you got to Canada? Wait until you see America! ? I can't believe you've lived in the states and think America is better on any front outside of weather.

But Wait O,\n\nAre you Sisters talking about Blacks living in Canada?\n\nKML, you Sisters are Talking Thrash, O!\n\nWhich Province are you Talking about in Canada.\n\nNobody pays Phone Bills anymore, Bros, WhatsApp Rule but one Can get a Really Cheap Phone Plan.\n\nToronto, has The Raptors, the Blue Jays, Toronto FC Major league Soccer, Maple Leafs Hockey, all the Best Rhythm and Blues and Hip Hop artist from the United States and Too Many other Attractions.\n\nBros, do not Watch Nollywood’s Movies and then Thrash Talk Canada’s Universal Health Care. Canada has Probably the Best Health Care System in the World, no Need for Private Health Care because there are Numerous Drop in Health Clinics.\n\nThe Main Reason why Foreign Professional are not Quickly Incorporated into the Canadian System is because they must First Prove themselves by Upgrading their Skills to meet Canadian Job Market Skills.\n\nOMGosh, I knew these Sisters Sounds like Nigerians.\n\n\nSisters Hush, please Hush!\n\nPerhaps New York is Warmer than Toronto But Canadian Blacks “ Must “ Opt into the Canadian System of Wealth.\n\nI mean, as easy as it is to go online and Purchase a Toronto Raptors Game Night, Ticket, Nigerians are not Interested but There are Many Night Clubs and Nigerians are Not Interested and there are Major League Soccer which Nigerians like but instead of Going out and Watching live Games, they would Rather stay at Home and Watch Europeans Leagues Soccer.\n\nFinally, Sisters, do not Bash the Canadian Tax System and Complain that the Taxes that the Government take is too High.\n\nIf Nigeria had a Proper Working Universal Tax System, even Close to that of Canada, Nigeria, a Country with a Population of over 200 Million, would Be as a City, which One can Compare, to the State of New York.\n\nAgain, Sisters Hush, do more Research before you go out to make a Mockery of your Lack of Knowledge about Canada.\n\nAll that Blacks throughout Canada need to Do is Opt in to the Canadian way of Life and leave behind the Lifestyles they had when they were in their Native Country.\n\nCanada is Better and Safer, for the Quality of Life for Blacks, when it comes to Quality of Life in America.\n\nAs a matter of Fact, during a time of period of Slavery for our People, many of our People were Running away from America to the Warmth and Comforts of Canada.\n\nBut wait O, \n\ndo you Sisters know that Blacks were Slaves in The US ? \n\nThat there are More Black People in America, than the whole Population of Canada?\n\nAah, Bros Life Nah Balance O!

As a kenyan living in the UK for the past 7 yrs ,i came into conclusion that theres something not right about nigerians living abroad, among all africans ive met here in England, its only nigerians that never loves their country compared to other africans, ive met south africans ,cameroonians ghanians ugandans malawians liberians and Gambians all of them are proud of their respective countries and they tend to go back whenever they get the opportunity, i inclusive i do go back to kenya like every december coz i just cant stand being in the UK the entire year without going back home for a couple of weeks ...when it comes to nigerians ive met over here theres something always off, they hate their country sooo much to an extent one told me nigeria is a country in ICU ,some even told me they can set foot in africa but not nigeria..so nigerians tell me wats soo bad about your country that you tend to run away from it, even in my home country kenya there are estates designated for nigerians..Besides i prefer being in UK than in north america coz of the distance i cant imagine being in US or canada coz of the flight hours ,they're sooo far away from my country i love it in the UK coz its closer to home and i dont need connecting flights in most cases when going to kenya.

Leaving Canada to United States is a slap in the face of all Canada done to make people lives better.\nUnited States have the world largest homeless population, drug overdoses, violence and crime's, bankruptcy, racial violence, suicides and a lot more.\nHow about go to school and become a health care provider if you think there isn't enough, if you don't have money to pay your hospital bills they throw you out the hospital with nowhere to go in America.

I live in the South in America; anything north of the Mason-Dixon line is too cold for me, so I would never consider living in Canada.

It breaks my heart ? most young Nigerians lacks vision and can be quite myopic. They keep judging Nigeria based on this outgoing administration. Administrations comes and goes but one thing is constant and stable and that's our SOVEREIGNTY, OUR NATION, NIGERIA. How can anyone hate their countries so much because of politicians?\n\nI have one promise for these young people coming from someone who has lived in America for almost 25 years. \n\nThat promise is the money they save in Canada for one year, if there's any savings at all. Their counterpart in Nigeria will make that money in a month.\n\nThey'll be embarrassed to meet some of friends they left behind. It's happening to previous generations of Diasporans. Their stories will be no different because tax code in the West forever increases to make sure you don't save a dime. \n\nTalk about the value of Canadian dollars ??

Same in America. Expensive here too. Not much different from Canada.

America is the same way your original country has low money ? currency ? so that brings you to Canada or the USA looking to be set free which in reality it's going after the milk and honey and the cow has dried up and the honey no longer taste sweet it comes at a extreme cost.You better have a major career because,where I live in America it's the same way.You are working and working day in and day out hand to mouth like if you're on a money wheel.No time for you nor your family and the fast food industry is waiting to make your health go bad so you must cook and your family is a kiss ? goodbye almost.its best to get a career and buy a home in Africa ? and work online from Africa and get paid on our Money.

Canada nor any of the rest of the West was meant to be a multicultural country. If you come to Canada and America with no intentions to assimilate, gtfo!

I was born in Canada and left in 2012 to the United States. I have a better life in the United States. Also I love the paid health care in America, it’s much better. It works for me but may not work for everyone.

One of the top issues is being black. Seen as black and identified as black when you leave a predominantly Black Country. \nWhen I watch the various Realestate shows of white people buying property abroad as second home or just packing up and moving. I always say it must be nice! Because the reality is they can see them self almost everywhere unless they choose to go into a remote area then that’s the only exception but even then as long they learn the language and respect the culture they are good they are liked welcomed and even seen as fascinating. Not saying they don’t have to struggle but the colour of their skin is the least! \nAmerica is great if your trying to be self made, be your own business owner, and other random ventures you want to dabble in. But to just go there and be a regular teacher, doctor, lawyer, engineer to the low and middle class you’ll end up with the same financial issues and struggles as a result. You gotta now cater to the rich and famous wealthy people but then it’s back to never being home and not enough time for family. \nThe reality is if we could make the money we make here in North America and Uk back home in in the Caribbean and specific countries in Africa it would be a dream come true and that goes for other communist countries too. You truly have to know what makes you happy. Make money but enjoy life it might mean living below your means even though you can can afford a bit better life style. People do it all the time back home (not because they want to I know) but for some reason when you move abroad a one bedroom for your single self is to small, the car under $24k isn’t good enough, you don’t want your kids to share a room so you need a bigger house and the list goes on and on. \nCanada is boring if your not in a major city with money to spend you know why? Because people forget the population of the entire country of Canada is only a 3rd, 4th, 10th of the population of certain countries that immigrants came from and in the case of the US population it’s 100x more than Canada. So of course there’s more opportunities there. \nAnd finally imagine if more countries didn’t need visas to travel? They really would just come to make money and go back home or live bicoastal. Even just the freedom of travel half of the immigrants would of settled elsewhere before the year was up or go back home.

Today you’re healthy and working and hate paying taxes, tomorrow you’re sick and unemployed and you get those taxes back. Maybe you’ll be lucky and it won’t happen to you, then at least you’ll be living in a country where people aren’t left to go hungry or die of preventable illness.\n\nYou pay to live in that kind of society in crime and social conflict.\n\nThe truth is that Canada is both freer than it’s southern neighbour and has more social mobility. On global league tables it ranks with Scandinavia and America lags behind. Now, if you want longer paid holidays, like in Europe, you’ll pay for them in other ways.\n\nAs for Canadians that skip south, they know that after avoiding those terrible taxes that ruin their lives, they can come back if they fail and everyone else will pay, but that’s a Tory for you.

Why should they return? Will the whites who still hold north Americas illegally return to Europe? The countries Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand are illegitimate.

What do you want to achieve with your video? At times it looks like a genuine cry from the heart and at times, your words are too harsh on Canada. First, seems you only lived in Vancouver. Would you have the same feeling or solitude if you lived in a more open space like Toronto, Montréal or St- John where geography is totally different. You speak of Vancouver as being an suburb of Seattle. Friend, it’s North America and there’s one culture, one language, one type of city. You can’t wish Canada were a Spain, France or Italy lookalike. If you want a taste of Europe in Canada, then why not move to Québec. With New-Orleans, Québec city or Montréal are the two places with the more European cachet. I understand you like the proximity of European cities and countries and I’m happy for you that you now live in a city where you feel alive and happy. But please, don’t take Canada for what it’s not: Europe. It’s an extension of US. as for weather, it’s a northern country and Vancouver is the London of the west coast. Rainy but mild.
