Most of this is accurate, except there are plenty of homes in Canada under $400 000. The problem is with the higher rates and stress test (which is another huge factor as to why people are leaving) it's difficult to be approved for enough to even purchase a cheap home. Also the competition for cheaper homes is brutal. Even with an income over $70 000 a year your looking at maybe being approved for $270 000 right now. Not many livable houses for that price in Ontario near jobs. Canada is not the same place anymore. Another problem is wages going down or becoming stagnant due to immigration. I have personally seen both security and the trucking industries nearly destroyed because of this. When entry level and mid-range trained jobs aren't making the wage you need to live, you don't have many choices but to go somewhere you can afford.

My son who saved for over 5yrs had enough for a down payment for a mortgage, but the rates are sky high and there aren't even any houses for him to attempt to purchase. Where are his special treatments and help?

I was never an immigrant. Born in Canada probably 6th or 7th generation Canadian. And I'm sure I am not alone when you here the struggles we had. Do those immigrants think they should have everything just given to them. Well it seems that way and Canadians are starting feel that this is enough of the whining and complaining about their struggles. Shouldn't have come here thinking that everything is free.

Of course it is......Government letting migrants in and not paying for more services. Not enough housing so they are living in tent camps throughout cities. Violent crimes everyday on the news. We need a temporary halt on migration to get things back in order.

Makes no sense. Our population is declining. If there were enough home for boomers then it shouldn't be an insurmountable issue. Immigration is fine, it's letting companies buy up huge chunks of real estate that needs to stop. That and put higher taxes on unoccupied homes.

Slam the door on immigration to Canada now. And, that pile of dog cr*p Trudeau is bringing in foreign workers at a battery plant rather than hiring Canadians. Enough is enough.

Enough garbage. This country is finished.

Europe has had enough of this fantasy. Party is over. Borders closed now.

Until there are enough drs and nurses and affordable homes to buy and reasonable rent, this is a no brainer!!!

These illegals have destroyed this country us real Canadians have had enough!!

THERE IS NO REASON WHY IMMIGRANTS SHOULD GET ANY SOCIAL WELFARE. IF VETERANS, SENIORS, DISABLED ARE NOT GETTING ENOUGH MONEY TO LIVE THEN IMMIGRANTS, REFUGEES, AND ILLEGALS NEED TO LEAVE

Doesn't take a genius to figure it out , stop bringing in immigrants we've had enough.

If u don't have enough housing for people already hear then common sense is not enough for more

Canada is finished. You can't just keep taking them in without fixing the issues here first. It used to be that immigration would close when there were no jobs available or not enough housing, but now they keep flooding in due to crooked political schemes aimed at getting votes, while destroying the lives of others here who are already struggling. Then again, the majority coming in are no doubt just mooching off the tax paying workers here already, but not coming here to contribute in any way.

Biggest problem is housing costs and streamlining transferable qualifications so a GP from Europe can come and work in Canada.. right now that EU GP would need to go back to school for zero reason..\n\nCanada has for decades not build enough houses..

Not enough are leaving canada...

If you are not highly paid, not weathy enough, have to pay rent for residence, and want to live in Vancouver, you must escape from your illusion ASAP, or the illusion will ruin your life.

yes yes keep blaming immigrants, it's their fault companies are buying up houses and evicting people, it's their fault we only build acres and acres of suburbs, it's their fault companies are refusing to pay fair wages for anything. funny enough less and less immigrants are deciding to come to Canada anyway and they'll be leaving en masse soon, I'm sure. then all our problems will be fixed right? you've made your bed boomers, now sleep in it

It’s good for the economy having immigration for sure, but at the rates they are coming definitely is putting pressure on the housing situation. Can we build houses fast enough is the question.

Canada has been a dump for the UN as long as Trudeau has been in office, enough with the illegal immigration it’s destroying beautiful nations like ours.

The liberals’ crazy aggressive immigration targets make everyone’s life miserable except for the rich and powerful. More people means more cash cows for them. Without sufficient infrastructure to support this kind of population growth, the GDP per capita has been dropping and housing costs have gone through the roof due to the great gap between supply and demand. The politicians only talk about the shortage of supply but let’s face it they can never build faster enough for the people they bring in. As a result, people will keep fighting for the scarcity and fuel on the Canadian housing speculation.

Canadian dream now is to have enough saving to leave ??

Everything outlined in the video is A-O-K with me. The segment about Canada's sane, civilized and responsible approach to firearm ownership is alone, enough for me to drop everything and live there!

A massive reason for inflation is mass immigration. We don't have enough housing. We don't have enough jobs. We have a terrible government who has destroyed everything. I would appreciate many going back home

Baloney! Not enough are making this decision.

Canadians voted for this. Not only did Trudeau cause this inflation, he did nothing to support housing sector amid lack of supply, he didn't support our economy and our CAD dollar has fell causing goods to be more expensive for Canadians, taxes are up, carbon tax is rising. Vote him out. Enough is enough.

New comers LEAVE, you didn't get enough out of our country. Over 5000 immigrants that we are putting with their B... S..t.??????

Boohoo, not enough handouts to keep you happy.

So it’s like a mini vacation for Ukrainian’s. They came here , was given money housing and it wasn’t enough. ?

You're a very young lady ,we used to have great fun in winter before all those laws that restrict everything for hospitals it say a lot on our doctors they can t evaluate others from others country ?????? Same for nurse ,teacher in quebec not recognizing french teachers from france is an example of highly stupid, we used to be men enough to ask anything to immigrants, lol ,for the housing it dépend on salarie price of material and land that s it ,stop the socialism deasese vote différents, nice day keep up your good work

Two years is not enough! There is not real justice.

Well you just got to love how this world tries to justify what's going on and then the media talks all their dumb b******* what you just come out and say it we're overpopulated and the homeless is getting bad we pressed how we got to have many many many and all we do is appropriate and appropriate and appropriate now we got so many people we can't feed them all we can't house them all we can't give them the education they need to get paid the good paid jobs cuz there's too many of us there's not enough to go around it's just going to get worse it's called overpopulated but hey they press for years you got to have kids keep having kids well now half of them are on the f****** street along with the older ones that can't afford nothing cuz of all the hungry money mongers in this world that's got to have the top dollar for everything they do I want the best money I can get for my rentals yeah you're fat and rich and they're out on the street The only thing is you can't find somebody decent to rent your place cuz they all screwing you I've worked around it all and I've seen it all I guess especially somebody in this world will figure out oh we're overpopulated has nothing to do with some of the b******* stories I keep seeing on this YouTube but keep denying and come up with all the theories you can because if you're afraid to face facts it's called over population and it's going to get worse cuz there's too many of us why do you think everywhere you go anymore it's like oh I'm waiting for this waiting for that cuz somebody's in front of me or somebody's else is there first or when I went in the service I thought that'd be the only place I'd say hi hurry up and wait but no now it's throughout life everywhere you go sitting in your car waiting sitting at the grocery store waiting wherever you go you got to wait because there's too many of us and eventually it's going to destroy this earth cuz we're destroying it the beautiful earth getting destroyed by the human animal but no we're so smart we can do that yeah my ass we're doing it right now and we're doing it so easily it it just right in her face and no one can even think they see it blind what a joke human race is

I’m in Australia doing my md & working full time in a public hospital. Making good money, yes we don’t have a maid but you can have a cleaner part time. It’s all depends on the income!!\n\nAlso, you can get a trady, handy man, to install your items and do small jobs and not charging you plumber & electrician fees. \nI think 2months isn’t enough to draw a conclusion on such matters.I think you needed to go alone first, once know the system a bit better, then get children joinefy you.

You lost me at #2. It doesn't get talked about much because it is absolute nonsense. East Asians make more money than White Canadians. Culture matters. Two parents in the home matters. An inconvenient truth. Nine of the top ten countries from which Canada draws its immigrants are non white. Is that something a racist country would do? Let a generation pass before you complain there aren't enough poc in top positions. Are you supposed to run the bank the day you arrive? A qualified, capable, hard working poc is the most privileged person in Canada. And there has not been a single body unearthed at any residential school. Sorry lady, you are way off on this point.

Of course everyone is leaving. The governments unending progressive policies completely forget that you have to actually produce houses and allow medical systems to grow to accommodate the increase in population. \n\n1. Money is worth way less than it used to due to inflation from excess money printing \n2. There aren't enough jobs for full time employment\n3. The medical system is massively shorthanded resulting in huge ER wait times, no family doctors and long specialist wait times (up to a year)\n4. Unnecessary excessive taxation with very little to show for it in terms of public services\n5. Massive housing shortage - Only 1 house being built for every 7 new immigrants coming to Canada\n6. General lack of infrastructure to allow for the increased population in most cities

This is sad. . but it's even more sad that our veterans can get the help they need . So until our homeless and mentally unstable vets get care they should not let any more immigrants in. And the ones they do let in need to pay taxes. And I propose they pay a taxes not burden out tax money our gov does that enough

Hey Jason! Question. I have 1560+ hours of experience working in part-time jobs as a sales rep (while on my study permit/ college) and full time job (while on PGWP) working as a Warehouse Coordinator (in Ontario). As they are jobs under different NOC codes. Does this count as enough experience to qualify for AIP? Or do I have to work more hours at my currrent job to qualify?

Canada's future poster: a woman wearing a hijab. Enough said. Canadistan is gone.

Hello sir, I want to apply for a study permit with an open work permit for my husband but my question in that proof of fund like my husband has up to that amount in his bank account and I want to use him as my sponsor,will that be possible because he is also following me to Canada?\nSecondly,I didn't change my name to my husband name on my passport and documents but in our marriage certificate his surname was added to my name like normally I am Bolanle Adeniyi but addressed as Bolanle Adeniyi Olapade in our marriage certificate, is that enough to show we are married?

Good, tell your friends not to come here either. We have enough cell repair kiosks. \nWe actually need credentialed immigrants, not welfare sponges.

you took good decision but still it is possible only if your parents and relatives support you. i know the same case where one boy went to canada and struggled alot and he was even not having enough money to pay rent so he stayed in shelter home for almost 3 months and then he decided to come back to india. He came back to India but his real sister and some relatives used to taunt him by comparing others who were staying in canada. His sister used to quarrel with him everyday and used to say that he should die because he wasted his parents money. Unfortunately, he committed suicide after listening harsh words from his sister everyday. Now he is not among us but he was really great and hardworking guy who worked hard in canada but due to lack of support from his own family he committed suicide. Therefore return is not the only option , one's decision should be welcomed by family members also.

Dont worry, y'all be rounded up soon enough and sent back --

Stop complaining about a place where you lived only as many days as it could qualify as a holiday. Canada did not invite you, it was your choice to come to Canada. It ridicules me that you were inconvenienced with DIY chores but not pleased enough by the free education, quality of environment, quality of life, social value system and lack of corruption. It was clearly your first time living out of India. Life is hard as an immigrant in every foreign country, it is ultimately a personal decision to endure that hardship vs the hardships of living in India. It’s not a bed of roses surviving in India either.

I graduated university in 2014 and despite applying aggressively, I could barely get a job interview. Jobs that could pay enough for me to afford housing, transportation, and food, as well as student loan payments, simply were not available to me. I moved to Beijing and stayed there for 9 years before moving to Malaysia earlier this year. I'm never going to live in Canada again.\n\nEven if my opportunities in Canada improved, the lifestyle I could afford there will always be worse than what I'd have somewhere else.

I live north of brampton of DT Toronto i use to work the east end of Toronto. I get burnt out from driving to work 2 days a week really fast, becase traffic and our transit system is just terrible, it takes 2 hrs for me to get to work and 2 and a half hrs to get home and recently my work place was cruel enough to replace me with someone thats cheaper. Toronto is deffinitly not a good place to move to if you don't love the city

Well said. Anyone Working 40 hours a week at $15 -$20 an hour is barely enough for rent.

See you all need to stop being such snowflakes and deal with the problem head on.\n\nStation a mini gun on the US side and put a DARE sign right over it and see if they are stupid enough to be turned into a mist. ?

I think it's time you change Trudeau before he bringing in Palestanian refugees...You are literally creating a new parasite class which was supported by your taxes that is high enough already.

Meanwhile, Canada's broken immigration system is nobody's secret weapon. It's just broken. There aren't enough homes to go around.

So dumb, if you graduate from a US university and an employer thinks you are valuable enough to be employed, you should just be able to get a visa. It's like a messed up brain drain. A person wants to work hard and move here, just to be kicked by some random lottery. Bruv
