I lived in Toronto for over 30 years. Prices on everything are soaring and really getting out of control. Rent, mortgage, food, insurance, and constant high-interest rates would force people onto the streets. Canada needs to do something now! Many restaurants have prices increased by over 20-30% on their menus in the past 3 years. It's just madness and ridiculous. What is minimum wage going to do? Most people I know just work work work, and do not have time to enjoy life. Very sad.

I agree with you Lyn,its hard to start life in Canada,changing visas to work permits is very expensive also &need to find a willing employer to start the process(lmia),not easy tho..my advise ,when traveling make sure you have a host on this end or atleast enough money to enable you stay in a hotel .. also people should avoid cities like Toronto which are crowded,personally am loving it here opportunities are many...

Pls? I need to talk to you!! I need some information pls

Listen I will choose America over canada a mil times,I’ve lived here over 13 yrs I’ve made so much money all u need is documentation huwezi kuja bila makaratasi ukafkiri kuna shortcut,even without papers u can still win here u just need to know what state is cheaper and easier to get a job,kazi zipo nyingi sana

Lyn Canada is good , quality of life is good . I always say for us Africans, the best way to come to Canada is through a work permit with a secure job. Reach here knowing you're coming for work or to be a student. Mambo ya kukuja kienyeji through agents or visitors visa then you reach here juu agent amekuchocha you find you can't convert that visitors visa to work permit ,,is what messes people up. Because here in canada you can't survive without papers. People are straight as an arrow hakuna mlango ya nyuma .You need the papers , you need the skills, lower your expectations, make money , jenga nyumbani .\nyou will survive. \nGreetings from Vancouver Canada ??

Just got home from a nice evening walk downtown, Toronto is still a great city but it's definitely declined in the last 10-15 years. It used to be a relatively clean and safe-feeling city. Now there are weird smells everywhere, garbage beside luxury buildings. Scary people around on the street and on the TTC. Despite this there are still good people, cool things, not too far gone yet but we need action now.

I currently reside in the USA, and I can confidently say that moving here has been the best decision I ever made. I managed to achieve in less than 5 years what might have taken me 15 years in Kenya. My perspective on living outside of Kenya has shifted significantly, and I believe it's time for us Africans to reconsider our perceptions. \n \nIt's worth noting that the requirements for moving to different countries can vary significantly. For instance, a Canadian government website has explicitly stated that you typically need to be a professional in your career to work in Canada, or else it might prove to be quite challenging. \n \nBefore you decide to make such a move, I strongly recommend conducting thorough research and understanding the specific requirements and opportunities in your chosen destination. Moving abroad is a significant step, and it's important to be well-prepared for the journey ahead.

Enjoy india! it wasn't meant to be. There is no need to look back you made the right choice of moving back to india. it does get really lonely in Canada.

There is also a housing crisis in Canada right now. Africans need to return to Africa ASAP coz everything is about to change and life in the Diaspora will be hell with no heating during winter, no electricity, very expensive food. Africa is going to be the BEST place to live in the world. Let those who have ears to hear use them.

We need this information Lyne thanks

A much needed conversation. This needs a panel discussion with people living in Canada to lay the cards straight. All I can say for now is, THE GRASS IS NOT ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE. Thank you Lynn for all you, you know I love and appreciate you.

Some centuries ago in England villagers use to be told that the streets of London were paved with gold and all one needed to do was get to London and become rich. Many swallowed the story and were bitterly disappointed when they got to London.

Need to put a 50 cal on that bridge

Most of the issues mentioned in the video are common in cities the size of Toronto elsewhere in the western world; I have family/friends all over and they have similar gripes about cities like London, Berlin and NYC. The precipitous decline in the last few years is indeed due to the fall out from COVID, both economy-wise and mental health-wise, and most countries in the world are still recovering from it. It's tough everywhere you look, but I do hope it's a temporary situation that will blow over sooner rather than later. Having said that, one thing that's probably worse in Toronto (and Vancouver) than most cities their size (I know that Toronto is much bigger, but Vancouver is a big city in its own right) is the housing situation, which had already been a problem before COVID in those two cities and it has only gotten worse since so it's now a real crisis that needs the municipal, provincial and federal governments to work together to address ASAP.

Please,I just need it to be able to reach out to you through it

Violent crime in Toronto has seriously gotten out of control, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. There is a concerted effort by government and media to downplay the reality by changing how the statisticsare gathered and parsed. The mayor needs to address the issue head-on or step down.

Maritimer here: I remember going to a small town in Maine for my cousin's funeral a few years back (half my family is American), and when we were checking-in at the hotel, there was a couple taking their suitcases out of the trunk of their car. The man had a handgun tucked in the back of his pants, and I remember the feeling I got seeing it when he bent over. It was pure Fear. In my mind, this man could kill me or my family in an instance if he wanted to. To me, that was the scariest thought, it felt so wrong that it was normal to carry a weapon. \n\nMind you, we have guns in Canada, they are mainly used for hunting or gun ranges, and you need a licence, which you need to pass a test if you want to go hunting with it. I guess growing up in Canada made me think that guns are dangerous and should be kept away from people... so hearing about the children's safety concerns around guns.. is probably because to us, guns out in the public is inconceivable... even worse around children. \n\nWhen there's a shooting in Canada, it's not a feeling that is reserved for the town or city where it happened. The country in its entirety mourns, it becomes Our issue. Anyways, I know my response is months late, but I felt compelled to share. :P

They need to stop calling it a “housing crisis” and start regulating real estate to the degree that people can afford to live indoors. It is really a domestic humanitarian crisis. \nAnd I am confounded about what they expect immigrants to do when they get to Canada or the US in this situation. \nThis type of government negligence is rife in the the west today. I hope we can look past party affiliation and focus on policies that make sense for everyone.

REMOVE BIDEN FROM OFFICE!!!!!!! HES NIT BUILT FOR THIS WE NEED TRUMP BACK BAD

They need to start mowing down the mob end of discussion ?? i pray fkr America

They're breaking the law coming in our country the wrong way u.s. citizen needs help you're using up all our resources Annie broke the law to get here this world is so crazy I give up on United snakes of America I can't wait till China Russia North Korea give us a wake-up call we need it I don't need no replies look at our politicians all they do is talk about each other I don't get s*** done I can't wait till Trump stop all this border shit where to buy American and the people who came here the Rite-Way

My question is Ups and Downs is normal when you examine the history of any country. Then why leave the country? If you ever live in a developing country and see their problem you will find Canada better, at least it has something going good like good infrastructure, security, great companies to work for. Why you guys made me think that maybe you guys are spoil brat who just can't deal the struggle, and everything needs to be just perfect.

If Canada takes care of law and order in their country then India doesn't need to clean Canada's mess.

I really don't understand why the federal and provincial governments don't really plan immigration better. There is a lot of potential in the smaller cities of Canada and the smaller provinces that need to grow. Why is there a push to expand the bigger cities like Vancouver and Toronto, where services are not meeting the need? Besides, why is it that there is now vetting around immigration the way it used to be? It is both the federal and provincial governments' duty to ensure the availability of housing, health care (including mental health), good jobs BEFORE new immigrants are brought in?

They need to be jailed for breaking the law. Biden's doing.

i was born in Montreal and i moved here 8yrs ago. Everything people hear or say about Toronto is a lie. Toronto is going downhill fast and the powers that be dont seem to care. The TtC is in shambles and prices are sky high and no relief in sight as the blame is put on non sensical reasons. Blaming the poor and international students for Torontos problems is absurd but that is what we have. I know many who are playing the system to get what they need. This is not a country but 10 fiefdoms reporting to the queens jester in Ottawa.

In this era of globalization, being a professional in Canada can lead to a worry-free life, while those starting from a basic position may need to work diligently for 15-20 years to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle and secure a bright future for their children. On average, Canadian families earn between 70,000 to 80,000 dollars, whereas Indian immigrants often double that income.

We need trump

Hmmm thats ok dont need him here

Canada needs help

Please I need your Email address

Nothing will change. Canadian university lobby needs money .Canada will be overwhelmed by immigration from India. No hatred but common sense

Trudeau is the biggest criminal of them all! Canada needs to be protected from him. Looks like there's a spot open on that list! Lol

why our government is importing severe criminals and gangs only adds to why he needs to be removed.

25 - 30 lakhs is the current price to get Canadian citizenship no strings attached, only thing you need to do is to contact Canadian officials

canada need yogi baba(Uttar Pradesh CM)

This is so true. There is so many factors needed to be needed to succeed with this intention.

Sad it's not just Toronto, it is ALL of North America. The 2 clowns running these 2 country need to be jailed for the amount of damage done to our great countries.

Ford taking away rent control in 2019 to encourage more investors to build more properties killed the lower and working class. Built nothing but condos that mostly investors bought. Now rent is $2,500 for a 1 bedroom. Even with a modest 50k salary you barely getting buy. You need to make 100k in Toronto just to live a basic life. In Canada, more than half of people's income goes to rent or mortgage. This country has been bought and sold to the real estate. This is what happens when everyone treats real estate as an investment instead of a basic necessity. But enjoy your sky high property values. A house costs 1 million dollars now. Guess Canadians are all millionaires.

Good morning gods mother and GodBless yuo allways and yuors family, Toronto ther hiring job like factory worker, forklift operator cow attendant for family need assistance

The rest of Canada needs a divorce from Toronto. At this point Toronto (voters) are the #1 thing bringing the country to its knees.

You mentioned that they people's don't need work permit is true about Canada

Brother i need your help. How to contact you

The US economy too is grappling with uncertainties, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

Let the Mexseco ppl get in the USA cuz Mexican ppl need a good life and get job

Everyone who voted for Biden needs to take at least 1 illegal immigrant into their home! They voted for this !

The way to solve the homeless problem and to get the communities back to prosperity \nMany Canadian communities have been affected by the homeless people with serious security, health, destructions of businesses and lost investments values problems. As the taxpayers and equal rights citizens their lives and properties have been destroyed by the each level governments not being helpful.\nThese communities need looking for legal solutions to have their class action lawsuits against the each level governments, for their lives and properties damages.

Bhai hum india me raja vaangu reh raye ha no need to go abroad ??

Dude you’re about to have the shock of your life!! All the points you mentioned here pretty much are a copy paste in Canada, cherry on the top is crappy weather. If the points you mentioned in your video are actually your concerns then you either need to look for opportunities in the UK or USA. You’ll find yourself where you are currently in 2 years in Canada as well and then you’ll be making another video about moving to US or UK. I kind of understand this as I now personally know 3 people who’ve done the same journey i.e. move from Australia to Canada or vice versa. In any case good luck!
