This is so sad: as a teenager, Canada seemed like the perfect country to me!?

I’m an immigrant of two years from the UK. I have to say at the time of moving due to Covid everything was expensive throughout the world and there was uncertainty in most things. Myself and my wife now have our own businesses as we found that the system here does not favour immigrants in getting the jobs Canada claims it needs to fill. The reality is the government and unions don’t want educated people to fill mid to high paying jobs and it’s impossible to get jobs in teaching, nursing, doctors etc if you are not educated here. The government wants immigrants to populate and work the low paid jobs even if they have a bachelor, mba or phd.

Low wages… high bills… high debt… high taxes…. No thanks…. I loved Canada but Can’t stand living here anymore. I’m so disillusioned…

Life in Canada is miserable.

You did the best to move back to India!!\n\nI will never go back! \n\nI love Canada

Canada should take back justin bieber.

I have a friend with 2 jobs that could have a net pay of 6digits but unable to buy a house in Canada. And is now gonna migrate to the US.

Canada uses Newcomers to pay pensions of old Europeans through tax

Canada has turned into a giant ponzi scheme

Canada is love.. it might be going through a tough time but hey, if you love Canada, you would not start shitting on it the moment there is a difficulty. Lets not diss the beautiful Canada which accepted us with open arms when we needed it and remain faithful and loyal and contribute in nation building of this majestic land. Peace

I lived in Canada for 6 years and returned to India, trust me it's not a heaven. There is lot of struggle

NOT ONLY IN CANADA.. ITS everywhere..

Canada isn't a great country.

Am I lucky ? I allways wanted to live in Canada but it didnot happen. Somehow I never applied to live in Canada, I am happy in Europe and South America. I love to come to Canada and many other places in the world as a tourist.

good analysis. After living in Canada for 18 years, I want to move out of Canada and retire somewhere else . I don't like the weather, high taxes, and woke/liberal culture. People are also more down to earth and friendly in Asia/Mexico

How did Canada share a border with Canada??

are you also going for the passport of canada?

This reporter who's talking about filling labours needs, don't believe him, there're no jobs in Canada, if there's a need and no enough workers pay rate should go up, actually salaries are going down, so what these reporters parrot don't make sense.

How can i get job in canada

Canada's cold and depressing why would you move there?

Thanks the video was realistic and relaxed.\nI’m worried about the future in Canada ??

Very good video and everything you said is absolute truth. This is exactly what my daughter says about Canada ?

Canada was the best country in the world 15 years ago, the mass immigration and progressive globalization that made it go downhill rapidly.

All my friends who are immigrants come to get there citizenship in Canada, because it is so easy to become a Canadian citizen and then get that passport.

Genuine question for people who leave Canada, where do they go? I'm from Belgium, living in the UK and considering actually moving to Canada because I don't see myself living in Europe anymore... For some reason, I thought the general lifestyle in Canada was better than Belgium and the UK but after watching this video, it seems not to be the case :/

these were all city cost examples -- Canada is more diverse than just living in citys

Oh the f'ing irony of the dreaming immigrant and the current state of Canada.

In Canada life depends on us..we make our own destiny

You seem to come from privilege \nCanada is a country of equality and decency \nI was a refugee from another country to India and found hostility and religious intolerance Canada was a welcoming experience Kind and honest people with no corruption and acceptance I wonder why you would take your beautiful people back to pollution and corruption

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.

We don't need you in Canada! Just leave!

Canada is gettingonly low quality immigrants, useless refugees and other garbages. What to expect from these people? Canada is transitioning from a 1st world to a 3rd world country.

If you move away from your home country, it takes half the time of your actual age to understand, & get used to the country you move into. \n1) Ikea also offers assembly service for which you have to pay. \n2) home owner/landlord didn’t improve noise isolation issue of their floorings. It’s normal practice of most lazy landlords who only rents their basement for reducing their mortgage cost. Or probably didn’t even know that it is doable.\n3) Employment- I am glad to see you found a skilled workplace somewhat related to your career. If you had to go through odd jobs, you would have left Canada within a month. \n4) Hospitals- Indian Government hospitals works the same way. Priorities go to life threatening patients first. But as an ex-Indian, we love spending arms and legs of money. Our loved ones survive going in private hospitals without insurance. \n5) socializing & jokes- I think you should’ve moved to Brampton so you can be part of the ghettoized community we have created there. so what day by day their crime rates are going high, we can at least understand the joke we can laugh on there. And there is no home sickness feeling.\n6) Weed!! - India has legalized alcohol, tobacco consumption. It does not mean anyone can go buy this. Even to buy legal weed in Canada you have to show your ID. At least that process is followed properly here.\n7) Vegetarian- if you want to follow a diet like this, all you have to request the restaurant to swap the meat with either potato hashbrowns, or if they have soya bean patties. \n8) Struggle- struggle is part of life. There is no requirement of whining about it. What do you need to be concerned is that you are getting an opportunity to go ahead, if you can’t get that that’s an issue. \n\nAnyways , I’m glad you made a video regarding your point of view on leaving Canada. Maybe you are not ready to mentally grow yourself being around people with different community and cultures & co-exist.

Canadians are incredibly selfish Canada has a duty and a right to take in underdeveloped and impoverish people for the greater global good not to make 1st world problem crybabies lives better

The great replacement is real.\nLook around.\nImmigration is the number one problem in Canada.\nThe violence the food, living and housing costs.\n???

I think this current administration must step down please! This is a nightmare & feel like I wasted my life over 3 decades moving to Canada.....Finally empty pocket

My favourite is listening to immigrants complain about other rude immigrants. \n\nI am indifferent, Canada is not what it once was, as in its remote, pristine beauty. Its been corrupted and will never recover, much like most westernized civilizations. \nBest case is to let it crumble and rebuild with whats left over, the strong and resilient. All others never really made a positive contribution anyway. \n? happy travels

Blame Turdo voters - who don't have a brain. The Crime Minister's agenda is make Canada the shithole that these people came from.

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.

Without immigration Canada would be a failed state. Canadians are lazy and entitled.

I was born in M.J. Sask, I will be leaving canada as soon as I get my nursing certificate. This is not just an immigrant issue.

I believe that every location has its own Pros and Cons... \ndepending on your needs and goals.\n \nIt's important not to have unrealistic expectations of any specific country (especially Canada) \n \nThe key is to find a place that meets your needs and be willing to accept the drawbacks. \nGive it a chance and see how it goes!

Thanks for the insightful video! I was thinking of moving to Canada from Finland and Latvia in a few years to escape the looming war with Russia (I am no soldier by nature at all), but now I started having second thoughts about the plan. Finland is actually similar to Canada across several of the points you mentioned, but the cost of living is, surprisingly, still OK here. I do love proper winters, northern boreal nature and introverted people, however :)

Vote out Liberals and Justin Trudeau and save Canada

Seriously, if you're coming from another country, and under the impression that you'll have a better life in Canada, you're wrong, and about 20 years too late. This country is an absolute mess right now, and it'll only get worse in the short term. If your mind is truly set on coming here, wait a few years. If you come now, you're going to be sorely disappointed. And broke. And possibly homeless.

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!

The winner stays in Canada and the loser goes back to third world countries like China this is reality

It's not only in Canada it's everywhere like that

funny, this was never an issue before Trudeau, but let's do the Canadian thing and not say or think it. Everything's fine. Trudeau is great. Canada is better than ever before.

Since I immigrated to CANADA, 28yr was the same law!unfortunately you have to go back to school! Yes if you don’t like it, can move to another country,
