I’m first generation Canadian and went to live abroad in 2015, met my spouse, brought him back to Canada with me once I found a job in 2019but it took me a while and I had to go on welfare. It was tough going for 2 years and my partner only found a decent job that paid him fairly and has benefits after 4 years of working crappy jobs. We bought a house away from the city for cheap in 2020 before things got crazy and we’re very fortunate and happy with the services we have access to in the small towns around us. My only regret is starting our family a bit late but better late than never. Canada is a tough place to live but it was even tougher when I was abroad and I learned to appreciate Canada more. But Trudeau has got to go. We need conservatives in power again.

When my family immigrated to Canada it had integrity, freedom and was respected globally, for me Canada lost this when Canada pushed Manufacturing out of Canada, as far back in the late 70's early 80's - This was the first exodus from Canada, most left and never came back, this is also when Canada stopped competition is all sectors, food and groceries/ banking, insurance/real estate/engineering, this all happened under Pierre Trudeau.\n\nFast forward here we are again under a Trudeau and the exudes is greater, people are not leaving in larger numbers- Affordability/ failed medical system/corruption in government/ lack of completion/ Failed promises/crime/terrorism sympathizing and hate/drugs/ child exploitation/indoctrination/ Gender madness/woke/ immigration/refuges vetting/.....This all happened under the Liberal/NDP cartel and again under another Trudeau.....\n\nNow there is talk about bring in more immigrants, when we can not deal with our current population and the hype of Job jobs is made in Canada only unless you wish to be a Taxi driver/food delivery or be on a government payroll or embrace one of the growth sectors in Government services/Food Bank volunteers, fast food and again as a last resort more taxi drivers....\n\nCanada is broken.

Why would they stay most have no idea about the weather most after year's here say it's to cold and leave first chance they get . See you this made my day.

Why do we keep bringing more immigrants in when we can’t even feed and house our own people properly? \nClean up our own backyard first and it’s absolutely awful on the lower end of society. We help everyone else except for the Canadians that truly need it. Like me.

Canada is good for those who are in physical jobs like hotelier, construction and other blue collar job bcz india they are under paid... And the one who have good salary in india should not consider canada at first place.

You are true man. I lived in Europe and the first month I landed there, I knew that I will never be able to set big goals and achieve them. When I decided to move in Canada, everything changed. having citizenship seems normal, but thinking about Europe (Italy) where i had to wake up at 4 AM to be able to find a spot in the line to renew my documents, I only had to worry about my personal growth. Nowadays, thank you my Lord I am a M. I do not want to say it, but it is true. IO am ready to set new goals. Good luck to everyone who wants to come in Canada, but you have to be very good in order to accomplish great achievements (discipline). Only the sky is the limit in North America.

Move over Europeans, Muslims, and Jihadists first.

Bro Charlie Akwaaba oooh , Non è VERO a fatto quello che hai detto di ITALIANI eeehhhh, you know say I ❤ you WELLA!

But U2 much I gbaski ya vibes too much , regards to sister and the kiddos Bro.\nRemain BLESSED ❤

I had exactly the same experiences in 2002 when I went(and came back) on PR to Canada. Getting into a proper paying job in your own profession is the most herculean task in itself. The necessity of a car due to extreme harsh weather most of the months and then initially affording only a basement with mostly indoor activities during non-summer months takes a huge toll on one’s mental well being. Most of the jobs are regulated in Canada so getting an equivalent clearance and compatibility for a job is no easy task at all otherwise you’ll end up doing only sundry manual help jobs around which too aren’t available easily. I found a lot of positivities and possibilities too in Canadian life but then be prepared to sacrifice a lot for many years and then maybe you realise you have a lot more to loose than gain! So as this blogger said Go to Canada first on say a tourist visa to friends or family, stay and spend some time and money too and then make a long term decision to come and stay forever or not. But in the meantime don’t quit your job or business back in India till you come to a final outcome?

Hi, I enjoyed your video, please what is the requirements for someone that wants to migrate to Canada as a skilled person though not in the medical line. Must the person get a job first from a company in Canada first? If so, please l am waiting for your video on cv. Thank you.

First, there's nothing like a language barrier, to me it's slavery mentality of we Africans by the Colonia masters who have stolen our mandates and identity and replaced it with English language as our official language. Do they speak Italian in Canada? So why would you expect Italians to speak English especially in their own land. The're many Italians that live in Canada, they were also forced to learn English. It's just so unfortunate that we use sentiments when it comes to saying it as it is. I'd love to engage you on this topic

Let them in but draft them first.

Poor research Leavig out the Essentials. read Puneet Sahani.\nThe Macauliff Brand of Sikhism, promoted by British, To use Sikhs as British loyal soldiers had started with Tak Kalsa Group as apposed to Singh Sabha. British Intelligence had promoted Nabha and such people who promoted division in Sikh & Hindus and tried to show Sikhism as a religion totally different from Hinduism. The first Gurudwaras in Canada did initiate the Gaddar movement but soon were infiltrated by british and its version of sikhs. And they have bred the Posion since. The SGPC too was a British Contruct which after british leaving has just changed its lipservice but inside stays the same. The Venomous version of Sikhi is not a creation post Indira Gandhi murder. Its happening since early 1900.

Let's get one thing straight first!!!\nMexicans and there reservation brothers and sisters, are the real, and only!!! North Americans!!!,\nThe rest are immigrants,U.S. citizens ??, not Americans!!!!\nWhite people come from Europe, black from Africa, Asians from Asia,\nEct,etc, those people who are trying to bust in, are central and south native American, you also have thousands of Haitian, African, \nAsian, and European, but, they they never show them.

Why didn't they stay in their own countries in the first place? There they could implement all the sharia law they wish.

A lot of canadians are first generation and 2nd generation already aswell

M from Michigan. M also new in America. India apnasa lagta hai.Abroad paraya sa lagta hai.Its my opinion.Himmat jaruri if you are coming to abroad plus we have to accept new changes in life in positive way. First 1 month we all enjoy later on the real life start...kabhi kabhi apne comfort zone se bahar aana bhi bahut jaruri hai.than only we come to know where we stand actual

We are on a recession, loosing jobs, let’s support first the internal problems, especially to the working people.

My comments is that at first place you went to canada with double mindand the person with double mind never success in his life

Tyler not just older people need fully Funded Health Care - you get married & your first child has a costly birth accident meaning a lifetime of health care costs = bankruptcy in the U.S. ❤

Good morning sir please I have this question it’s troubling so I would like to ask , I gained admission into centennial college and I have actually paid my tuition deposit gone for my biometric did my visa applaud all I’m just awaiting my approval but my school gave me a deadline to pay my first semester fee which has already passed and yesterday I got a mail to pay off the remaining fee and a friend told me to pay before the month runs out but the thing is my visa is not out yet and I don’t actually have the money ready to pay before the month runs out I don’t know what procedure to take please help me answer my question sir thank you

Too much rascism in europe dats no lie.\nI have alot of rascist experience and even my first daughter has been called a nigga in school several time’s and that’s why am planing on moving out of the country

The world has changed. It's wild what we are seeing right now. Like the affordability crisis is like something I've never seen. We moved to NYC two decades ago and the rent for our first apartment never went over $1k a month. My mom was making minimum wage the entire 13 years we lived there and while we were very much meeting the requirements for public assistance, her job could at least cover the majority of the necessities. The immigrants coming in today would be lucky to find a room for the rent we paid.

The world gave multiculturalism a try... It's clearly not working. Let's go back before the lunatics completely take over the asylum(and believe me they will not extend you the same courtesy you extended to them once they're in charge). The first thing a snake does after you save it's life is turn around and bite you

I was born in NYC but moved to Canada over 20 years ago, I now have dual citizenship. In the space of 1 year my retired father had a major stroke and my wife, pregnant with our first child had a full hemorrhage, was rushed to the hospital and gave birth to our premature son who required open heart surgery at 3 months of age. The quality of the health care was top notch, it didn't matter who I was or what I earned, we promptly received the best health care I can imagine. I was maxed out emotionally; I can't imagine worrying if I could afford the monies involved, was it covered under my current health care plan everything was 'just there'. There was no waiting for our legitimate emergencies. I don't know what the math would be on costs but I'm guessing I'd be broke for the rest of my life if this occurred in the States. \nOf course, what countries could afford universal health care except, maybe: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland. Italy, Israel, Greece and 22 other countries. Why is almost every other country paying less for drugs developed by American companies?\nYou pay slightly lower taxes... but what would your income look like if your employer paid you what they are paying for your insurance premiums?\nI'd say the richest country on earth has a little catching up to do...

My husband is from China, Im from Hong Kong. We both came around 2000, at the time houses were cheap and affordable. We met and married after we became Canadian in 2004 and the same year we bought our first house 4 bedrooms 3000sqft near Fairview Mall. Our first daughter has now just graduated and we plan to fund her on her down payment because we know it's not affordable on her own. The price has gone up not double, not triple or quadruple, but 5 times what it used too and not even near centre of the city. Canada housing is now so bad my husband regrets giving up his Chinese citizenship at one point luckily Hong Kong allows multiple citizenship and we can still go back and settle when things get worse. Sucks for my kids who have never had much experience outside of Canada so they will need to learn and cope for better or for worse.

U got a reality check first hand

i first saw u, watching one of your travel vlogs a few years ago, and i have to say... i still love u! :) i came across this video doing my personal research on why a close friend of mine who emigrated to canada in 2009, is now trying desperately to turn back. Actualy all my friends who emigrated to canada in early 2000's are already back. I see we exeprience all over the planet the same cost of living problem, but what hapenes in canada is quite hard to endure

Not first nation indigenous people

They just don't know that's just the first border.. it's actually 2-3 checkpoints to get from the southern border.

First at all in November 1984 it wasnt Riots it was a Genocide ( Nasalkushi) it is huge different beetween riots and Genocide \nPlease correct. The kanishka was done by the indian goverment and by Raw agenies to defame sikhs at that time in Front of World and to show sikhs as terrorist,there r a lot of evidence, we was real Indian Patriots but when we See the promises After 1947 what done by the goverments, they never fullfil till now , and 1984 june then November 1984, then the loot of water from punjab, chandigarh, Punjabi speaking areas where is now himachel pardes, haryana and many many more rights that Indian goverment Never gives us.\nIf the goverment fulfill our demands and naggotaion with us\nThen nobody want seperat Country.\nSo thats why we have to think.\nIts the question of our Identity

Firstly it’s not easy but at the end of it is would have been worthwhile it especially for your kids. Besides 2 months is too early to judge and make such a big decision. Lastly no one calls people to their country it your choice… you should be grateful you had family it was way easier for you. Fixing things is something you do anywhere in the world. Basement stay was a choice you should rent a house if you could afford it. Education system has changed world wide. Job should be an affiliate certification world recognized if not you start a level lower. Like u said your kids it was good that is the reason you should have stayed. Road rules again worldwid. You should have stayed for your kids

You wanted to come to the west to come to the west. How well did you plan your journey. I do not feel sorry for you. You made the choice to cone to this side of the world. You should have left your family in Nigeria if you are there to study. All the struggles you are talking about many other people are going through the same struggle. The first thing you should have done from Nigeria was learn about Canada, then look foe room and board that was close to your school. You should have left your family back home but that's the problem with you Nigeria. Apply for school visa then go the country bring your family trying to circumvent the immigration process. So deal with whatever struggles you are now faced with. Stop complaining you have only yourself to blame. Life in the west is not going to be easy until......

saw ur video for the first time, loved it\n\\

$10,000 dollars to pay for something done without cost since the first days of Human-Kind. Think about it. Childbirth is an act of nature that they make you pay so they can witness it. Sad.

Our Health Care system is broken. We have very bad doctors and insane wait times. Our Health Care is tax funded and it's impossible to sue the hospital if they misdiagnose or mistreat an illness. When you pay for your doctor you will get the best care. Not up here though. One thing per visit and you must see a medical clinic first, if you can get an appointment. My last 2 visits were 14h wait times, and that's at the biggest hospital in BC. \n\nWe don't have free speech. We heavily tax our poorest people. Our gas is over $2 a liter. Food is very expensive especially at fast food places and restaurants. \n\nOur internet is third world at best but with some of the highest data costs in the world. \n\nWe have a run on our borders and our infrastructure is bursting at the seams. We put the needs of other countries before our own. Could be a good thing but not when helping the world is making it harder and harder for those born here to actually live and thrive here.

UPDATE: Halifax (NS in general) is now unaffordable and the salaries have not aligned with the price increases. Food, gas, and the housing market have essentially doubled in price (seemingly overnight) and the population more than doubled so there are new condo buildings built everywhere with rent averaging $2500+ per month for a 2 bedroom. A house that used to cost $300K, is now closer to $700K. For the first time ever, there are homeless people living in their cars or in tents. The only thing that has stayed the same is the beautiful landscape.

Bhai I respect the research you have done. But your first fact is completely incorrect. Canada wasn’t a country of white men it was a Red Indian Nation. And Britisher did drastic damage here as well. Please research the history about British Invasion in canada and what happened in residential schools. Also, it was exactly as same as what happened in India. The good thing is Indians were able to get the Britishers out after they looted us with mostly everything at the moment. And Red Indians of Canada weren’t.

How can they be good future citizens if their first interaction on our land is a crime

My question to Santi bhai- \nWhat was funny to see Sardars people on roads.\nI seen first youtuber who openly laugh at specific community.

I lived in the US for 30 years. I hated every year, except for having my sons there. My American husband is a staunch NRA supporter. At the 30 year mark, when I gave him an ultimatum. I gave him 30 years down there, and the time had come where he needed to do 30 years in Canada. We've been in Canada for 6 years, and he doesn't ever want to go back.\nI feel for the new mothers, who only get 6 weeks maternity leave (8 weeks for C-Section).\nCanadian Mums get a full year. Nurturing your new baby is necessary for a well-balanced child. You can't bond in 6 weeks. \nYour health insurance is nuts. We paid $1500/mo. just for our family. Then you have a $5k deductible first! Just walking into the ER is $500 and THEN add on labs, x-rays, meds, etc. My son was in mental health treatment and our insurance capped mental health at $25k for life. \nThe biggest slap up my head, was when I found out I CAN'T collect my SSI. I paid a lot of taxes, since we made 6 figures/year. So, now I'm screwed, since they won't pay a former Permanent Resident. Had I been a citizen, I could get it. My husband is a PR in Canada, waiting to take his citizenship test. If he applies for SSI, he needs to go down to the States for 30 days and nights, annually. \nI'm from Toronto, born and raised and I am so happy to have my feet back in my own country. My boys are still there, as well as my grandchildren. Thankfully, they fly up twice a year. You couldn't pay me to move back.

young brother Hindus are 60% of NRI in Canada. But let you know we all are punjabi first. they all loved helped each other. Hate is new thing on religion base for Punjabis. Talwinder singh parmar we never even heard of him I lived very closed to his house. One day at the airport this guy appeared with eight nine people with garland and were told he is separates . Dr Jagjit singh chauhan was presented as a leader that wants Khalistan . He was high level Congress leader. After so much life lost hate created This bastard went back to India and died peacefully in his bed. While thousands of innocent peoples life was taken and labeled as terrorist that are killing Hindus. I am atheist but i hope i go to hell to meet Indra and sons along with some others from her party All this hare dead and destruction of Punjabis is all because of one evil lady. that wanted absolute power and control in India. She spend Billions to create hate among Punjabis.
