What a load of crap. They want go green but want to build more Starbucks Walmart.

Why cant we meet our Paris Agreement numbers?? Because our government is bringing in more immigrants that need housing (cutting down trees), that need to get to places that cars need to be used to get to, that need to build new sewage treatment plants, that breathe in more air.\nYes! With more people coming into the country, our greenhouse gas emissions go up, so what does this government do?? Increase the carbon tax thats supposed to be used to fight climate change. Great scheme, increase carbon emissions by increasing our population so we have all the excuse in the world to increase the carbon tax at a time when energy prices are at a record high.

Deal with the cost of living and than young Canadians can start building families. Stop polluting Canadian culture with individuals who do not hold Canadian values.

Do not forget to build up more hospitals and schools!

I guess I should start building slums so I can become a slum lord. Nobody can afford to buy or build new homes already. I doubt we are building housing for 500,000 people in 2 years.

Then Canada needs to build bigger roads. Infrastructure cannot handle more vehicles on the roads in Toronto and Vancouver. Real Estate is also out of control!

And where are they going to live? We already have a housing crisis.\nMaybe build 250K homes to go with the 500K immigrants.\nThat's the federal Govt... always doing things half-way.\n:/

As long as they build more housing.

More people equals higher demand for things like food, medical and shelter. Won't that make the problem even worse since we don't make much domestically here anymore or build homes because the red tape and cost of materials? I am not against immigration but the fact is most people end up in major cities where resources like housing are already stretched to the brink...

Another horror story of 21st century exploitation and greed of people of colour. The past manifesting itself in another way...\n\nI guess Canada CANNOT promote a sweaky-clean international image any more as this EXPLOITATION is silently encouraged to build the robust economy it boasts.

There is more under carpet, the foundation of future is build on greed and not on strength.

Not to be disrespectful!\nI am African decent, have lived in 5 countries, some in Europe & North America. You do not set up a business if you are not ready in mind. I lived in Canada, I found a different passion...so left. I own properties both places! Not everyone will be successful in business! One of the wealthiest countries in the world, I spent 14 hours in Emergency not having treatment for my wife. yet it's the within top 5 wealthy country's in the world! \nA little bit of advice if you want to enter into a business proforma showcasing! \nBring up Excel spreadsheets to make further economy tax brackets, earnings etc. I guess you are pretty young!\n I am old, so I have more experience!\n You don't make business profits in a day or months. It takes years to build a business to become successful anywhere you find yourself!\nWhen your house or property value is half a million euros! \nGDP growth range in Canada from 2017 to 2020 was from 3%, 2.78%, 1.88%, -5.2% now in 2021 growth range was positive to 4.6%. \nIf you want to set up a business you look at these growth factors!\nYou will not make billions nor break even..\nYou need a one off experimental breakthrough and many more ideas with fantastic concepts!\nGood luck ?

From residential schools to exploiting international students creating these multibillion colleges who lure students to Canada and exploiting them financially and mentally. Canada is just using people as Cash cows to build their economy strong just in the Name of eduction . This needs to STOP! .Period!

im glad i left this anglo colonized country and back to help building my own.

Very nice next video me ye building btaen k kia criteria ha agar koi Pakistani immigrare krna chahay canada

This whole system needs an overhaul. Why is Canada recruiting so many international students just from India anyway? If there has been a need for housing/hostels for international students why doesn't the government tackle this. In Kenya private developers build studio apartments in areas with Colleges/Universities, this works out pretty well. A private space is better than strangers huddled up together

I am a building electrician and CCTV camera installer ups technician.not much education but experience I have about 20 years

What about rent increasing astronomically because international students are staying with 10 others to be able to afford and landlords are allowing them which is inflating rent.. In my city rent has increased from $700 to $2000 for one bedroom apartment. Canadians are becoming homeless while my local universities is admitting 20 thousands international from India. Not a single building has gone up due to COVID so this put even more pressure on the housing market.

the part where the one student in India is asked why he wants to go in Canada and he says he wants a white collar job and the life he dreamed of which I would imagine entails a Canadian wife as well? In other words, shouldn't Canada try to attract people to do work in building homes and things we need instead of rent seeking industries like banking, insurance etc... that doesn't improve the lives of Canadians already born here (and in some cases go generations back)

This is what happens when people live in La La Land instead of living in the reality. Living in a fairy tale in a way that not even this and other Fifth State documentaries would wake them up. The difference between the first and fifth world. Build your countries, your universities, prosper and grow. Stop living in fairy tales! It sounds harsh but I'd rather give it to you straight.

Bhai you have to take into account taxes as well … cost of living is high in Canada… focus on building new skills as soon as you arrive in fact come equipped from home if you can as those courses would be a lot cheaper then here… you have to go above minimum pay otherwise life is daily struggle to make ends meet

Quebec is beautiful. Love the historic buildings and adore Gaspe. What a view. Alberta though is home now and loving it.

Much appreciated the truth, let's build our countries of origin...east or west, home is the best

Ghanaians=== Loyalty \nNigerians=== opportunist.\nSee their mouth like am not moving back, na una papa build Canada. Smh

Hello Nigerian ladies, when you get a chance to immigrate to another country, kindly stick to your lane don’t go over there and expect to build wealth over night. Wealth is created.

Well many places in the civilized world are like Canada: entire Europe is like you've just described (high taxes and so) as well so that's a no-go for you guys ... and so the USA for you guys is heaven I'd say, or go to Africa and help build up that continent and make it yours !

But you can work there and build wealth in Nigeria ?? right

I agree 100%. I am building little shop and houses in east Africa. In 2 years I am living too. No mortgage no stress.

abroad go tire una. By the time you see watin de u go understand say Naija na best home. Let that country have a good leadership u go understand. All of us In USA and Canada and other places na slave we be. Naija na our home. Make we go build am and forget this mindset.

America is the same. We need to try Africa. Build wealth and bring our knowledge back home to Arica.

No African would leave the shores of Africa if life was made easier for us by our leaders to live, work and build a life in our home country. African leaders are too wicked and evil. They love to keep and worship their wealth at the detriment of their own citizens

What I see in Canada is that lots of people have an employee mentality. Many of them make a good income, but they spend their money on stupid things, like nice cars, expensive phones, fancy restaurants, trips, etc. How can they expect to build wealth if they basically flush their hard-earned money down the toilet? It's true that housing and food are expensive in Canada, but that's basically all you need to live. The rest of your income can be used to create businesses and more income streams, but no people prefer their 9 to 5 job and watch non-sensical TV shows after that.

I’m Canadians as myself everything you said it’s 98% accurate about Canada???. I’m moving out few years agoes out of Canada and so happy indeed living in ?? so much freedom depending wich states you want to live freedom on money , health benefit , outdoors indoors activities etc…Canada it’s an empty country, empty land too cold and depress living and please check the population of Canada only worth one states (Texas)USA population. Canada only need immigrants to build their country and in terms of Govn professions their are very selective and it’s hard to get through if your immigrant unless your a scientist or engineers still yiu need to move to other parts of Canada to get hired . Anyway I’m sorry to brings this up but I’m myself a hard worker working in a nursing field it’s very depressing to live in Canada . Since I’m in ??I’m feeling born again happy easy living lots interesting things to do in US… Happy indeed the best decisions of a lifetime ?❤??????

Why not remain in your countries and end the brain drain. If the higher taxes, cold climates, work till exhaustion, etc are a problem then why not help build up your birth countries?

Guys, my opinion will be controversial, I apologise! You gloss through infrastructure like it is easy to build - efficient train tracks, trains, maintained roads, reliable transportation systems (foundation of a any economy), Security forces, financial services, maybe health facilities etc. Almost every equipment you use have been invented and distributed (earn profits too) by the West to provide a high standard of living. Please acknowledge and appreciate the West. I'm Nigerian, so I know the benefits of living abroad. Hate the racism but their services are impeccable.

YOU AFRICANS NEED TO STOP RUNNING TO OTHER WHITE COUNTRIES AND BUILD YOUR OWN COUNTRY!! YOU WILL HAVE TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH TO CHANGE THINGS. STOP BEING COWARDS , RUNNING AND COMPLAINING. FIGHT AND BUILD YOUR OWN COUNTRY. IF YOU ARE NIGERIANS, YOUR COUNTRY MAKES MILLIONS OFF IT OIL, EVERYONE SHOULD ENJOY LIFE THERE.

wow you 2 ungrateful are complaining about 30 to 40% taxes, well why do you think third world countries are at at point they are? people are poor because they lack economic opportunities, good schools, teachers, new way of teaching the kids that they haven't even heard in the countries you were born in, the overall lack of corruption, when anytime you have to deal with any kind of public official for any kind of permit that might need, well build infrastructures, good public Universities, and a decent healthcare system, an independent well functioning judiciary system that is far less corrupted than the countries you were born at............ You 2 are delusional, in the south of USA they don't tax that much, you should see how the Blacks are treated, 2 months that the city of Jackson in Mississippi has no running water, I recommend you 2 to move there, and enjoy the low taxes.... BY the way look as well at the mortality rates for all the Child births in the south, and life expectancy rates.... And trust me I am an immigrant myself, so I know that people are not working as much as here in North America, but or you inherited your house from a family member or you are living in their homes, in that case yes you can sit and do nothing, and if you find a job you will get paid a few hundred dollars per month........ Try to put food on the table with that salary, even in lower cost countries... trust me they struggle 3 times as I do here in North America...

It also depends where in Canada you live. In Ontario I'd sometimes wait 12 hours to see a doctor at the hospital. Coupled with the amount of racism and hate that's building over there. I have since moved to BC and at the hospital I'm usually seeing a doctor within 15-25 minutes. Plus people are overwhelmingly less hostile. The coast doesn't have quite as frigid winters either.

The work life balance is awful . I an now 43 years old and I spent so many weekends in my 20s and 30s working to get ahead and now that my youth has passed me by I wish I had more of my youthful weekends to myself.. now I am in a position where I don't have go work on weekends near as much but find myself with nothing to do on weekends and at 43 the time for partying and the down town bar \n scene has passed my be and most people my age ar not into that anymore and truth be told it's not all the appealing to me anymore either and I live in a city where partying and the down town bar science is the only thing there is here. It's very much an east coast port city/college town \nPost colonia city it's great for tourists College Students and young working people but once you pass the age of 35 it gets really boring when I was younger and wanted to spend all of my free time partying and going to house parties and hitting the bar scene I thought I lived in the greatest place on earth now that I am on my 40s I am bored stiff and other then going out for my daily walks for exercise when I am not working I spend most of time at home reading watching you tube or listening to my record collection all of which I really enjoy but I do miss my Youthfull socializing but 43 years don't belong in night clubs with people half their age and nor would it feel appropriate doing so . I miss being 25 and at the club and wish I had done more it instead of spending so many Friday and Saturday nights at the ship building factory.

Straight facts about old age homes. They want this, everything is in the hands of the establishment. They want you there from preschool to old age. They get you into the old age home and funnel out your pension. Its about retrieving those funds. Just look at what companies like black rock and vanguard is doing. Buying single families homes and building hosing for retirees because it completes the cycle. They run the pension funds and not they are getting the rent from them. Money is following out of families rather than into families.

Why can't we build in our own homeland?

Sounds like you don't know how to build wealth with what you have. Had the same issue thinking working hard pays off. Nope putting your money somewhere it's compounding interest instead of banks while reducing consumerism builds wealth when your an average wage earner. Sounds like the U.S. minus the pan gloom

WOULDN'T IT BETTER IF U STAY AND WORK AND BUILD YOUR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN ??????????

Honestly better to live in your own country ... and make it a better place rather than moving away from family and friends just to build another country and pay taxes.

When you are young,you can't really feel it.\n\nI wish to stay in my country,but go on vacation strange countries if I have time.\nStrange land is strange land.\nNo place like home.\nI have build my home. And have car and a good self-employ job.\n\nWhat then am I looking for in foreign land.\n\nContentment is number one In life.\nStudy your country,you can be give people what they will be paying you for.\nWith time you will be know.

Wait...so..Canada is encouraging immigrants to come, but isnt accepting their education from abroad? My goodness...??\nYes, I can understand someone leaving. From what you described and what I have heard from Canadians living in the US, Canada is not a country for someone who is a go-getter and trying to build a better life for their family. Not a average life, a much better one.

Coming from the UK, I am emphatic to the issues of high cost of living, the struggle to build wealth and overwhelming healthcare system but paying tax for essential services is not the problem, you should be paying into the system to help those that struggle to support themselves due to low wages and you also can benefit from these services. Nigerians can sometimes come with the same mentalities of classism and not wanting to pay into system even when they can afford it and still be very comfortable. If the economic system at the very least supported all Nigerians kids going to school and if this was supported by tax, Nigeria would be in a better place too

Free health care makes the system overwhelmed and causes delays in getting treatment, try being in a situation where u have a life-threatening illness and can't afford treatment. It's hard to build wealth in Canada, try building your stupendous wealth in a country that is unsafe with poor infrastructures. There's no perfect situation in life but I think having a good quality of life supersedes wealth accumulation and most other things.

Cant finish watching because it disappoints me seeing Africans moving to Canada thinking you can get rich and build an empire , well we are in 2020 where we are living neocolonialism ..actually that’s the modern slavery (taxes ) yet you can build an empire in your continent .please work in Canada and build in the motherland there we are talking thank you .

Canada is fine but you're basically correct. It's fantastic for mousey types who want security and sameness, but if you are looking for adventure, crackle and opportunity, it's a dead end. But if you say anything, you get swarmed by moaners who hate to be criticized. The country is addicted to news articles saying it's the best country in the world LOL. I lived in the USA for many years and it is like night and day. You feel like you are building the future. Unfortunately, the USA has an utterly broken immigration system, so good luck if you want to emigrate there.
