I am an immigrant myself. Have been in Canada for 15 years. I am upset what is happening last 5 years in general but I decided to not give up. \nIt is getting tougher every day, I wish we had at least a bit more affordable food.

Is this problem only in big cities of Canada?

Great timing given that many Americans are looking to Canada as a new home if Trump wins in 2024. And who can blame them.

I am American and I see Canada as three countries, eastern English, French and western Canada

Very insightful analysis of canada's economic state.

If you dont like live in Canada :D you can go to Vietnam :D

Lot of educated Indians with degrees go to Canada only to do unskilled low wage jobs. They pay heavy taxes and rent and can't afford food. Living a paycheck to paycheck life. And USA is no better. They have strict anti immigration laws now. So i suggest you educated Indians to stay in India do the kind of jobd that fits your qualifications. And pay your income tax correctly. You know only 2% of Indians pay their income taxes. Tax evasion is preventing the development of India. If you love your country don't do that. Because you ain't cheating your govt but cheating your country and ultimately cheating yourself

Canada and UK are utter dumps!

I dunno, maybe it has something to do with the government trying their best to turn Canada into a dystopian hellhole?

Many cash rich investors from Ukraine, Russia, Israel, and China. The first three well known as to where their money is coming from and why they are fleeing war torn regions. Most of Ukraine and Israel is funded by US government institutions but Russia’s emigrants have left Russia due to disagreements with how Russia is being administered. China mainlanders parking investing money into Canada in order to cater for future immigration and future education needs for their kids and others that wish to follow.\n\nCanada, like Hawaii, Miami, and Las Vegas are experiencing overinflated housing investors willing to pay the asking cost for the real estate. Like the rest of the planet, many of the newer generation tend to flock to warmer regions of the planet. The other areas that experience the housing Price shocks are places also where foreign students tend to flock to, especially those from Asian nations like China.\n\nCanada’s BC Vancouver, Edmonton, Manitoba, and Calgary tend to cater to willing Indian, Pakistani, Central Asian, Hong Kong Chinese, Singapore, Japanese, Malaysian, and Taiwanese parents willing to spend big money to educate their kids in Canadian English language programs that the Canadian governments organized with educators. \n\nSpending well over five figures a year in order to educate these young kids to grasp English and eventually have a pathway to citizenship like South Africa’s Elon Musk. The CCP was Party to these programs till Xi’s second term of rule and the huge budget deficits occurring due to the transference of Chinese domestic spending happening overseas especially in Canada and Australia caused the CCP to stop this growing deficit in household spending within the Chinese domestic economy. They couldn’t allow these newly minted millionaires to raise their kids like elite CCP party members families and friends. \n\nThey tried to stop it, but the Canadian taxpayers raised complaints about soaring property, and income taxes to their politicians and it’s slowed this process down but loopholes still exist and it is still occurring. \n\nThe top party leaders of China sending their kids to expensive European and USA institutions such as Xi’s children especially his Harvard / Oxford educated daughter, whose fiancée is a British citizen involved in all trades, China’s evolving EV industries! Move on over Elon, a new competitors in town due to some big connections within the CCP party.\n\nCanada housing is overinflated for the next several decades.

Canada was a good place 50,60 years ago but now is just a laugh , but if you love communist way of life welcome to Canada

Canada is run by a psychopath communist dictator. Slimy trudeau makes chairman mao look like a boy scout.

Seems like Canada is looking more and more like America...gotta take a look at the politicians and look at what they do vs. what they say...

No one, eh? No one? All 40 million people are cursing the day the day they were born in Canada and are packing their bags as I type this? Hyperbole much? Let me guess, you work for China or Russia? Give it a rest.

Canada opened it self to any refugee that crawled in and legally lets in a million people every year which the same amount that the U.S. does but the U.S. has more then 10 times the population. So they tax the hell out of every working person and then give free stuff to the millions of free loaders.

I am chinmay Giri, by profession I am a network engineer I have total 4 years experience is it possible to get a job in Canada

Thank u for the information, I'm coming to Canada next year.

I’m Cuban but moved to Canada when I was 9. Now I am 25. Canada for sure has its issues, and I do want to leave one day, but not because I think Canada is so broken that the only solution is to leave, I just cannot take this cold for the rest of my life. With that being said, so many Canadians have no clue just how good we have it here, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t complain in hopes to improve, but just to serve as a reminder, that compared to majority of the world, we are so lucky.

Canada is a good country if one is involved in illegal activities, like international arms dealing, drugs, terrorism etc etc. If one is coloured, hardworking and simple, better work and live where you're from. You'll live longer and better.

What does the person presenting the video and probably ninety percent of responding to it have in common and really do not want to tell you this. There political ideology lines up closer to the far right in the USA. So it’s no surprise they would be sad and angry living in Canada and am glad they live by their convictions and move out.

Canada needs to change its policy and move away from socialism.

Canada is a mess. All they build is luxury condos that most can't afford. Food is sky high, and greedy politicians don't seem to care as long as they keep growing their own bank accounts. The corruption is starting to really show.

You hit the nail in the head, I was attracted to Canada by how it markets itself as immigrant friendly, but I couldn't agree more with the points stated in this video

Mmmh maybe because Canada is becoming day by day the worst dystopian leftist / woke shithole ?

100%. Canada is being destroyed at an ever increasing pace. \n\nJustin Trudeau has been a criminal for many years now and has brought government controlled media and a rapid erosion of human rights to the country, even somehow after being found guilty of violating the authority of his office.\n\nBTW, throughout history, government controlled media has always been described with a familiar word that has lost much meaning through mis-use: fascism.

Canada is overrated for nothing,what a big joke ?

Canada : High cost of living, Terrible weather, Rise in Crime, Terrible health care, Terrible people, Woke ideology and Corrupt goverment

Only people dumb enough to move to Canada are poor 3rd worlders expecting to not end up at timhortans living with 10 other suckerrs in an apartment. Rich or skilled workers avoid this place cause pay is a fraction of what it is in the states.

Many Canadians are leaving Canada, most of them highly skilled. Reasons are the expense of living here is astronomical and we have a totalitarian liberal/ndp government ben ton making the country as miserable as possible to live in. More are leaving and not being replaced by the equally skilled, quite the opposite. Good luck finding a house.

I immigrated to Canada in 1992 and I left Canada last year and moved to Spain. The best thing I ever did. Canada has become dictatorship under the Trudeau regime. Too many immigrants abusing the system and trying to make Canada like where they came from, particularly, East Indian and Muslims. They refuse to integrate and adapt to Canada.

How do I volunteer to live in Canada? ?

Even Canadians don't want to live in Canada. The communities have become violent and dangerous with people from violent and dangerous countries, like Nigeria.

Make an informed decision and stay at home. \nDont come to canada.

This follows the current Conservative narrative. Yes Canadian housing is going through a rough patch, worse than most G7. But the people under the most stress are in the the three western provinces where the economy is more resource based and to some extent the maritimes where the rate of mortgage arrears are above average. Ontario and BC rate of mortgage arrears is the lowest and make up are the largest housing market. Canada has many large international corporations like Nutrien, Barrick Gold, banks, Enbridge, Constellation Software, Shopify, Suncor ... Healthcare is tricky to compare but where Canada mostly falls short as reported by the NIH is dental care and drugs which the NDP want to address. Although primary care could be improved, falling a little below Europe.

The FREE food does not taste cultural appropriate. Canada government has blackface Trudeau which offends Somolian pirates.

The upward economic mobility in Canada, according to data, is better than in the United States, but the US is way down the list.

I would not tell anyone to go to Canada until Trudeau is gone and Pierre has had 5-6 years to fix it. Even then it'll still be very expensive, cold and bad health care. Honestly have no idea why anyone would move there in this era. It made sense 100 years ago, not now.

Like the Germans at the end of WWII Trudeau is stealing everything he can hobbling any chance of Canada recovering in the next 30 years and the BLOC and NDP are complicit in their crimes and the general public wonders why rent and food are unaffordable, welcome to the new third world Canada vote for your favorite again..... just shows that the voting age should be 25 and politicians need to be qualified intellectually with degree's other than drama majors....

On top of this, excessive government deficits (federal and provincial) hobble Canada’s economy with debt and interest payments. This was foreseen in 2021 when the OECD predicted that Canada will be the worst performing economy for the next decade, and for three decades after that.

I saw videos in Vancouver and other cities in Canada where christian preachers on street were assaulted by maniac anti-religious people. Police did less and all was disturbing\nIn a country that promotes or accepts depravation and antireligion things can not go in good

Scammers foreign liars I'm just a kid with less then nothing living in Canada I won't ever have the chance to drive a car or fly in an airplane. No realistic goals here amongst these people. Canadians

Justin is the reason no one wants to live in Canada. Ten years ago Canadian dollar was higher than the US dollar.

All was true apart from the headline. The wealthy still very much want to live in Canada.

This is the best podcasts ? \nReally enjoyed it and got lots of motivation. ❤ Thank you Canada Couple and Ashar Sana. ❤❤

time for canada to join the us. the only argument I always heard in the internet was the better healthcare system. now I know that this isn't true

I remember we had one chapter about canada in our school text book, literally praising everything about this country

No good ! Inefficient Government ! Can never be solved ! Still people from the Third World countries opt to go to Canada but the situation is like this !

Please send the news to the world that Canada has no rooms.

Canadians and immigrants are leaving. \nTrudeau and the liberals have destroyed Canada. ?

Canada is fake economy that live mostly from immigrants sell everything overseas and bring this money to Canada by the time they realized after bills all money gone , strong one going home weak one live like slaves paycheck to paycheck
