After living in China and before that Europe, Canada is an apocalyptic dystopia. Want to leave hardly having arrived. After so much money, time and energy wasted to come here, quitting great jobs, selling our house and all the rest, here we go again planning to uproot our lives yet again. Takes time tho so tragically we must endure the disaster that is Canada and Toronto for some time longer before we can be free from this place for good.

Thanks for sharing an honest and without prejudice experience.. i am here in Canada for the last 4 years ..and i totally agree to your views.

100% correct assessment. I am here for last 25 years, came with family leaving a good job at early forty. It is tough for 1st generation of immigrant but good for the next generation. There is opportunity of growth and success if become a canadian professional and hard/smart work habit. My children are wel settled now. So, if you are well off in india and not ready for facing tough life initial years, then pl.dont venture ,as to have better life in canada you need canadian education and the cdn. experience. Good luck.

Jisko bhi khalistan chahiye... Woh log india chodke canada me khalistan banaye. Indians ko india me hi rehne. Apna ghar canada me banao

20 000 Twenty Thousand People Died last Year waiting for Emergency Services in Canada last year.. Yeh over stated facts mein kuch nahee haii.

Bro the white people are also settler's In canada they cleaned the native people long ago

Tune ye to explain nahi kiya k hinduo ne apna aatank kaise failaya tha jike vajaah se canada ne hume jyada ehmiyat di or tum haraamzaado ne hmesha vishvas ghat kiya hai. Mirchi to lgegi is baat se tum logon ko pr yahi sach hai

I am agree on all points. We moved to Canada last year. Whatever you are saying all are true\n. Can you make some video how you moved your item to India. Like expenses and transport.

Canada doesn’t have a law to charge someone because there is a referendum going on.\n\nCanada itself organized a referendum for Quebec. Imagine if Trudeau has to unleash his police after Khalistanis.

Canada has been pimped out to the world. We invited all the lying cheating garbage so we can brag about being multicultural. After 45 years of steady increases of immigration we can say it ruined the country. No housing, no health care, homeless drug addiction and major crime.

It would have been better if Canada would have only allowed 'legal' immigrants, we wouldn't have had these terrorist issues..

Finally a well appointed explanation of the situation. \n1 thing I really want to know the people who are protesting for Khalisthan from UK and Canada .. will they come back from these countries and live in Khalisthan (just imagine if Punjab is separated from India to become Khalisthan)?\nWhy there is so much protesting in those countries and there's a no-show in India ?, where it really should be . \nThis determines its all political.\nMere Sikh bhaiyo sadda India Tyada India !! (Don't know if the Punjabi is correct)\nJai Hind !!

❤❤❤❤❤❤Canada and Khalistan ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Balwant singh ki wife pregnant kaise hui?? Wo toh canada mei rehte the aur wife india mei thi.

As a Bengali from Kolkata I moved to canada this august just to study and get a work permit and settle in canada. Though the current situation is very bad with no part time jobs and rentals but still the hope for a better future is high over here than in Kolkata.

Most of punjabi students does't go canada for studies. Their primary motive is to get the PR and work as Taxi driver, Maid and other labour work.

What she said is 90 % wrong . Life is beautiful in Canada

Thank You, for hitiing the reality of Canada to our faces....letting us know that all that is sweet isn't roses...Meaning if we much think of travelling we got to be ready... and learn all we got to learn here and not there.. My sister, thank you, now we know there are ups and down side of it... The lord will see you through...

Now days I hate Canada and the indian live in Canada ???

Bad behaviour with women is there in canada also.

Canada : Home land for all the terrorists

I’m a Canadian citizen and it is hard! The struggle of living in Canada is real! Stay strong sister❤

Canada is still one of the best countries to live in if you come in through the right channels and have the required skills.

My nana is from the UK originally and she has been living in Canada for 40+ years now and still has not become a Canadian citizen, not because she couldn't but because she never had to. She gave birth to my mom in Canada making my mom Canadian. I was born in the United States but since my mom was a Canadian citizen I was also a Canadian citizen. A lot of people like to bring up the housing crisis as a potential downside to having a bunch of immigrants but that just isn't the case. We have one of the lowest population densities of all of the countries in the world, and yet we all choose to live in high concentration areas and those that own the land in and around those concentrated areas know they can charge whatever they want because if you're not near the main 1-3 cities in your province it drastically cuts down on your land's value as far as housing goes so there is no incentive for anyone to build housing out there. Build more houses, we have the space. Figger it out.

Shame on CANADA !

Ap ka accent punjabi lagta hai as you mentioned you spent your early childhood in punjab but ironically your accent for English is not like the one who grew up in Canada ! \nBtw great video ! Keep up the good work ❤

@lynn brought here a lady a while ago to guide us through Canada

I thought something would change with the new speaker. But it looks like it's a clown show. So I don't think anything's gonna change.\nAnother sad day for canada?

@LynnNgugi I am a Kenyan-Canadian-American, and my family and I lived in Canada for over 6 years. It is a wonderful country if you have the right documentation and career. Life is more expensive in some provinces, so you have to do your homework. But we loved living there and even owned a home. We moved back to the US so that our kids (American born) could grow up closer to their grandparents and cousins. But I am proud to be both a Canadian and American citizen ❤

Why did he return to Canada???.

All of them are a joke! Have some respect for Canada and keep this actions aside!. They are nothing but puppets of those who really control this nation.

Thanks Lynn for bringing this up. I am a Kenyan living in Canada. You highlighted the most important thing- due diligence. There are a lot of people that come here with a promise of a better life and the notion is that it’s instant. I want to confirm to you that it’s better life, but it’s not instant. You have to put in the work and prove your worth. You have to gain Canadian experience to get a decent job. Also be ready to go back to school and upgrade your skills. There are jobs here zinaitwa Trades. These are the jobs that we don’t value at home but pay amazingly well here. Construction, Electricians, Plumbers, Mechanics, Carpentry, Welding, Hairdressers, Tailors.. Those are very valued skills here- if you can invest in learning these trades but pia ukikuja hapa you have to convert your certs to Canadian ones by doing an exam or going back to school . If you are into office jobs, make sure you have market relevant skills that align to this country. Be ready to embrace the digital revolution and mpende hesabu. Accounting is very much valued here. The secret is be ready to start from the bottom, be ready to upgrade yourself, be ready to work like you’ve never worked before… You will make it eventually .. Mungu mbele! \nI am confirming that we are going through a recession here and as per the market trends, it’s only going to get worser until we get to a point of stabilization. The housing market is crazy, food costs and gas (fuel)costs are off the roof .. it’s not easy. So if you have a good job in Kenya, hold onto it for now until things get better ( due diligence /research) .. Make sure you have the right visa that allows you to work here. That visitors visa theory is not working anymore. \nOverall Canada is a good country with lots of opportunities but it’s not for the faint hearted. \nLastly, be prepared for the harsh winters and days of severe loneliness- Si lakini ni life? Kila nchi ina challenges zake. God bless!

Thanks Canada for telling the truth. Moot peene are getting exposed at the world level !!

When I came here in Canada 33 years ago, I went do in legal process,My first employer offered me a job offer to come here in Canada,I went to whole legal process here,but I obeyCanadian law to have legal working visa ,and since day one paying taxes ,i earn my hard work after 30 years and receive early pension and still work in a full time job, My advice to illegal migrants follow what Canadian laws and go through legal process and crossing the right border to pass Not to way try find asylum to be free in every thing, in tax payers money.

India is doing god's work for Canada because their own security forces cannot. Shame shame shame

These indian students specially from Punjab are used for political purposes in Canada... That's why most scams are done to sikh students

I’m in Canada and I would say that’s misinformation. That’s happening in only two provinces Toronto and Vancouver as cost of living has risen. The rest of provinces are affordable and jobs are readily available. High skill requirements is kinda true and lie at the same time. Not all jobs here require high skills. Some jobs just require basic skills and those are the highest jobs available. New immigrants all they need is to get the immigration papers straight and move to affordable provinces to start a life. You don’t have to start a life in Toronto or Vancouver the most expensive provinces. People will always need to immigrate. I can assure you many people that have migrated are more successful than these few mishaps that happens everywhere even back home. Moving to Canada from Kenya is the best decision I have ever made in my life. Canada is one of the best countries you should ever move in.

Born and raised in Toronto in 82'\nMoved to Montréal in 2010 because of the expenses on the ultimate rise! \nI really noticed it getting bad when I visited in 2015 with prices of course but also with the asthetics of what the city used to be to what it is now which is now referred to as the New York of Canada.\n\nI miss growing up in the city, but have no plans on moving back.

Japan is a beautiful country and there is something for you or family to do every season, the question is how many can afford it?\nThe cost of living here in Japan is so high and it’s worse with inflation.\nMost foreigners here are here to teach English, they cannot survive with one job. Some recruiters are so strict, they don’t want their workers to look part time jobs.\nAs you said earlier on, no one tell you that the rent is expensive and the food. \nYou have to look 2 more jobs to survive.\nA lot of foreigners here save their money to go to study in Canada, some of them without supporting relatives are doing ‘hand to mouth’.\nSome of them are back home getting better jobs and climbing ladders of success.

I left Toronto in November of 2022. I'm now in Calgary until I can leave Canada for good., and I will not come back.

Joyce k Canada keep on warning them but they won't listen.

Y'all complaining and y'all in Canada? We would do anything to leave Port- au- Prince in Haiti. The gangs are killing us here for sport.

It is definitely a scam. Some may make it after years of hardship. The majority will be miserable. In my opinion, Africa is much better than Canada.

The percentage of those who have been successful is comparatively lower than those who are struggling financially and mentally. We have success stories but those coming to Canada today or in the recent past are having a very tough time to settle and make a decent living. Let’s be honest. Canada is not easy to live in

Kenyans kenyans kenyans ? you have started with canada the same way you guys did with saudi ikafungwa sasa back home people are suffering even more? if it doesn't suit you let those who can do....Canada is the best country to immigrate to ? now since the media us meddling your government is about to shut this thing down ?? FYI hao wako down town Toronto they are asylum seeker's and lazima wakue hapo ndio wasaidika and they are not all kenyans wengi ni Ugandans na west Africans

Living in Canada contributed greatly to how he view things. The exposure must have widely contributed to his success our of Canada. All the same, Canada is a great place and this is an isolated incident.

Lynn, this Canada thing is a common sense thing. Same reason a Tanzanian will not come to kenya to sell tomatoes on the streets due to high competition on the field. Any country you move to it depends on what you will go to do and who will help you get on your feet. Canada is extremely beautiful and one can prosper extremely well financially compared to kenya BY FAR! But you can’t come from the village and land in Toronto and wait for a job and opportunity to come get you from the airport! Am very honest. I live abroad, in one of the richest countries in the world and believe me, I have seen even their own citizens suffering economically. Why? What are their skills and plans and expectations? I read somewhere, with all the wealth in the world, if all was to be shared equally to every one the universe, the rich will become rich and the poor poor -again. So a kenyan should first plan who they will live with for atleast a year while they get on their feet, put their hustle mood on n be willing to take any jobs, plus get out of the mentality that one must be in a big city! Other places outside cities really have low costs of life and offer more opportunities. Just saying

Lynn the problem is people don’t make their own research. Even if you show this, people are going to still go there Lynn. Just like the girls who go to the the Arabic countries even when they see what happens to the girls who go there. People are desperate and just hope for the best I guess. But all countries are struggling after the pandemic ? and some are also struggling with the people coming in illegally with boats. Europe and the USA are struggling with thousands of people coming in daily, which means the governments have to support all these people before their cases are being worked on. So they are working hard to send people back that are not coming from a country with war. Also means the jobs that don’t demand high education are on very competitive. Canada and some of the developed countries only want highly educated people with skills. Who can start working right away and contribute to the society of course through paying taxes and taking care of their families. But the struggle is real.

Lyn costbof living is high but in SA i can survive and send money home. Europe is expensive. There is a nigerian doctor in canada who was wishing to go home. 2m is enough money to do big things.

The government should get involved in the rental boards. \nAnd freeze rent control and lower the rent prices. Its next to impossible to make ends meet in Canada now. Between Rent and Groceries and other expenses which adds on we can't make it and that makes alot of bad things happening. The Government has to get involve before things gets worse!!!
