Very true. I go to America and Canada to meet my children. For older people day start with cleaning utensils, cooking food, washing and cleaning home. And no social life for older people. Very costly everything. No friends,very lonely life. Children have their careers, life so they r helpless. My son in America provides us with all luxuries but very boring after some time. Love my life in my home, my country. I have my social life and love it.

First I feel for these people. They want to live in the greatest country in the world. Because of the current president we are in a bad situation where he has made it hard for the citizens that where born here to make a living let alone any new immigrants.\nOur military needs to protect our borders as they do in other countries and any illegal immigrants needs to be deported back to their country and do it the right way it’s an act of terrorism to invade our country the economic strain that it puts on the US is enormous like a bleeding artery that you can’t get tied off. Instead of trying to change our country and ruin it they should put that effort into fixing their own. We need to fix our country first. It would take no less than 5 years of no entry to fix ours at the rate they have been pouring in our own infrastructure can’t handle the influx of people. Mr. President I beg you save our country before you destroy it quite trying to be everyone’s friend be as a president should a leader and protector of the greatest country in the world. Please stop destroying it and disrespecting those that came before you.

Canada privacy is so much...no neighborhood like Indians.....cannot talk with anyone in the mall or during shopping....difficult to make friends....India is rich in culture friendship...social life is good in India

Nice video ab sochna padega Canada aane ke liye aaye ki nahi kyonki hum to jab tak friends se guppe na maare khana digest hi nahi hota ??

Theres a popular saying a person cant get the Best of both worlds. Make best use of where you are.\nMake friends with yr neighbours or stay in a community of yr own.\nI live in Malaysia, blessed we hv a weather where we can colourful clothes, huge variety of foods. \nWe have our gurdwaras etc \nI am happy where I am Malaysia

My parents lived with me for a year here in USA. They called this a 5 star hotel life. They missed the kabadi waala, naukarani ki roz ki chuk chick, sabzi waala, horn noise on the roads and they missed their friends. It is indeed very boring of parents.

One of the best podcast….very natural, practical…inspiring.. I shared it with friends and family who hasn’t subscribed it yet.. plz Harmeet keep doing it and bring more podcasts.. one suggestion instead of making one video of more than an hour you can make episodes (1 or 2) but honestly you ask very good question so we can listen it for more and more longer time.. all the best ????

I live in canada and am starting my final year of high-school in the fall. I have a lot of friends my age, none of us are planning to stay. All of us are going to the States or Europe. We're not leaving because we don't like Canada, we're being forced out because its too expensive to survive. The last two years have been a slow realization that the options for people my age are A) live on the support of your parents for the rest of your foreseeable life, B) become homeless, or C) leave.\n\nIts especially painful because a lot of people here came from immigrant families who worked hard to come here for a better life for their kids, just to have their kids leave for elsewhere or even return to their country of origin.

CNN you are one of the biggest reason. And your Democrat friends

That is Canada my friends all what he’s saying it true the governments have to give us the jobs first before considering any other. You can have two jobs if you want

Yea some true but most of it untrue you don’t have to take out the warms from vegetables there are so many farms with fresh vegetables in Canada very clean and friendly

Having lived in most provinces and visited dozens of cities such a Yellowknife (in December) I love all of them. Though I have a secret passion for Montreal it's by far the most cosmopolitan city in all of Canada. Yes Canada does have winter months where they are most severe in the northern cities. When you add it up it's how the people interact in a friendly manner which is why I feel best in Montreal.

Dear Americans, you can thank the CIA and other black organizations that control and racketeer the cartels for this. The CIA took over jobs from Pablo Escobar and created and organized the cartels. When they realized in the early 70's that the drug business was very lucrative and that Ustistan would never be able to to stop the huge number of people who use drugs in the USA, they decided to take over the job and move it to neighboring Mexico. Keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer.

In canada and i have been watching alot of videos people lying in their YouTube videos but atleast today i came across this is soo true now those friends and family of mine who think i don't want them to come to xanada i can just forward for them your videos thanks

I lived in Canada from 2002 to 2013 and then came back to Brazil because a super job opportunity. I don’t have to say that I love the country and have so many friends in Vancouver. And these friends have started to complain of the country since 2019/2020. It is sad that canadians are having lesser perception of this AMAZING country.

It’s problem is the same as most western countries. The politicians don’t actually care about the people, the only care about getting re-elected. So many policies are horrible for most people and horrible for the economy. Basically it’s about buying votes. Also, like most countries, most of not all politicians are usually corrupt to some degree. Just look at Trudeau. He has been caught with so many ethical violations that involve his family and friends.

High taxes, not friendly people PQ, long winter, housing is expensive, no concurrence between companies of telephone and internet & salaries is too low regarding the cost of life.

Sir mujhey aapki mother in law ki koyi bhi baat Bilkul theek nahi lagi jaise ki yanha vegetables aur restaurant main food theek nahi milata kiyonki main bhi India se aapni beti ke pass aayi hoon . Covid time main one year yanhi rahi aur aajkal bhi five months ho gaye hain per yanha restaurants main hum sab jagah gaye har cuisine ka khana khaya bahut acha food milata hai. \n\nAur yanha maan laganey ki baat hai to jo mohalla type ki aadat waley hotey hain aur falatu baateyn karane ka hi shok hota hai ki kisi se bhi aatey jatey baat karlein vo hi pareshan hotey hain nahi to humey to yanha bhi bahut acha lagata aur vanha bhi . Aapki mother in law shayad yahan par free Dhaniya ki talash main hai.. LOL \n\nMain delhi born brought up hoon aur bahut bada mera friend circle hai delhi main per humey falatu bahar Khadey ho kar baat karane ki adat nahi hai . Delhi to rahine Layak hi nahi rahi hai yanha to life bahut achi hai is main koyi shak nahi . Meri bhi tabiyat bahut kharab huyi per sab test aur CT sab jaladi hi ho gaye koyi mushkil nahi huyi. \n\nSo, I will request you to stop dissuading people who are aspiring to come to Canada with such baseless points.

I agree with each and everything that both the ladies have said. I am 52 and have spent beautiful 25 yrs in Qatar. Since my children wanted to settle in USA I am in US now. However I have a question for Smita ji since both her children are in Canada now who will take care of her and her husband once they are too old to travel. Also after 15 years the children will be busy with higher education of grandchildren. The friends and maids that are a source of happiness in good health won't be of use because they will also be old and suffering.

One of things that I learnt 33 years ago when I moved to USA was not to convert the money because you won’t be able to eat. I sponsored my mother almost 20 years ago and she didn’t enjoy living here because of her life and friends back home. It was very difficult to move here especially when you are in your fifties and especially if you aren’t working. One of the things that aunties are exaggerating is about the cost of the restaurant, I have never eaten in a restaurant that cost $400 for 4 people, even some of the best steak restaurants don’t cost that much. Final thing when they compare the Malls of Canada with India with limited supplies actually the malls here carry sizes that are not even available anywhere in the World. I do respect their views.

This is so tragic to see the desperation of these humans who want a better life. Our neighbors in front and back of us were Mexicans....the nicest neighbors, friendly, generous, hard working and kind. Lord Jesus help them

Nice one am alone I need friend oo u don't want to tell me where you are now in Canada am in Canada oo just me and my daughter is hear

Why can’t they apply for the visas then apply for citizenship and take classes and the test like everyone immigrating to the US has to do? It’s really sad to see this happening. It’s not just the USA it’s all countries. You have to have visas if your not on vacation and sometimes if you are on vacation. Then to stay longer the visa has to be redone for a longer time. But they have to apply for citizenship and study and pass the tests. I have several friends that did it the correct way. I just want everyone to have a chance and do it right as well. We need them and entering illegally just isn’t okay.

Not relatable we live in Edmonton and our parents still enjoy when they come here as they socialize with their friends too n everybody have to socialize and we have more winter then Toronto.it's literally one person perspective how they wanna see n live n no offence to anyone

And this my friends are how democrats are trying to stay in power

Complain behind your back hahahahaha so true :). I moved here from the US in 2012 (from the american south where people are usually direct). I have a met a lot of nice people here (I would say like 80% are immigrants as opposed to Canadians) and made friends. It was not easy though :/

So all you americans who said that europe shouldn’t close borders,let them all in,... Where are you now? You know how many will end up doing what need to be done? 30% all the other end up in jail,homeless,social benefits,... means less for your people,slower help if needed,more taxmoney gone,crimes rises,d*pe already floods the street well it will come worse.. Ooh racist this that no where do\nwe go when sh*t goes sideways? do we get the same threatment? nowhere and no. Well next is people\nstruggling instead off a couple months or 2years will now struggle 5-10y,housing? damn instead of a few months to 1y now? 4-6y.. that’s happening in europe now because off mass immigration because off your wars.. our great system fails.. and most don’t come for\nthe wright reasons,never had a job,have problems,wants family or friends to come than they stay illegally and go on and on.. This is why close border everywhere and each country needs to get those f up politicians out,send back those who are here for the wrong reasons and help your own people and country back where it should be in a good mindset,more equality,tax money spend on the right things,... They all think the\nwest is the beloved land but to much and no more beloved land or money..

As a Canadian citizen who moved to France for better opportunities, I fail to recognize any positive things about Canada and its culture and economy. In 2019 most of my friends were struggling graduates who were working minimum wage jobs and living with roommates. A lot of my friends had suicidal thoughts. I was working like a slave in the oil patch for a measly $30k annually. And all of this to live paycheck to paycheck in a boring city in a crappy flat with cockroaches. And the food and climate sucks. And Canadians are the most introverted people on the planet.

My advice for Canada:\n1 - obviously LOWER THE TAXES ! ... this is basically a SCAM! ... 30$/h may sounds good while in reality is less than 20$/h because of hidden fees(Taxes) ... YOU ARE SCAMMING PPL!\n\n2 - Its utterly stupid to ask for doctors and architects when you don't have a proper vacancy waiting for them, make the immigration process way easier , as soon as a vacancy represents itself act on it and get the ppl in, don't do all the licensing/registrations ... all that over kill process slow the whole thing down , let them learn by doing !! ... that would get the ball going way easier and way faster! , just make sure immigrants who are willing to do it have a good understanding of english.\n\n3 - Easy up on the registration/licensing process , not everything needs to be perfect , let the doctors, architects and technicians work as Interns Immediately or even Pre-Interns .... that way you would have more doctors and no body needs to wait for 2 years for a fkin CHECK UP! ... that is sooo buzzer and I bit its only getting worse!\n\n 4 - try make organized Social events to allow people to socialize better with each other and make friends or families...\n 5 - for the climate, doing nothing 9 months a year is stupid! and boring! , u must find a way to make inclosed warm facilities for newcomers and residents to enjoy.

This kind of thing is why housing is so unaffordable now. Though, what people don't understand, is how American policy has made it impossible for some countries in South America to have a stable government or economy. Any time a regime has threatened US profits, usually by making policies that benefit their own people first, we have their leader assassinated, the party eliminated and replaced by dictators and despots friendly to corporate interests. They are fleeing the extreme poverty and violence in regions we intentionally destabilized. This essentially boils down to our own government refusing to harvest our own resources, in favor of exploiting poorer countries.

3:34 \nWhat a dumb argument, living here in the US is a nightmare when you have to go to the hospital. It was cheaper to take my friend via an uber than to call an ambulance. Extremely corrupt private insurance firms. You're taxes are repaid in the public services you use. Frankly, you Canadians just sound ungrateful for how good you have it

No, they do bring up questions such as where are you from and you respond to them then they ask you where are you from originally, they are very nosi and by many means want to find answers for their curiosity, in Toronto no one even do eye contact let alone to be friendly or socializing, if someone approaches you is not out of friendliness, it's out of their curiosity and finding out information about you. If they hear you speaking in your native ? get mad and tell you here is Canada. You should speak English, that's not the reason, the reason is that they want to know what you are talking about and knowing about your personal business and conversation

hello mamu gee. Hope you are doing well. As a kid dhuwaan was my most fav drama, other than ainak wala jinn. I liked you alot. i wept alot when you were shooted by the terrorists from inside the room. After some weeks when i saw that you were not killed it was like one of the most happy moments for me. it was because i used to call you mamu. I user to tell my friends that you were my mamu. i grew up, got busy in life, watched no dramas. After 15 or 20 years i heard about your story. i was shocked to hear about the tragedy you faced in pak. My sadness faded away when i knew that you have moved out of pak as our country is a wild barren land. Pay my salam to whole of your family please. i will be asking about your wellness now onward. Be blessed.

Thank you I'm going to suscribe and ask all my friends to. and If I ever make it to Canada I'll bring you Ghana jollof

Don't you dare bring them here trudope, GOD IS GOING TO DEAL WITHYOU TRUDOPE AND YOUR ABOMINATION FRIENDS

Start being more discriminatory as a group yourselves. Don't seek these people out anymore in attempts to be friendly, fit in or whatever. Until they have proven themselves to be friend and not foe, Don't Engage. Stick up for yourselves. Be prepared with your own retorts in response to their racial slurs. You will find that a lot of them can dish it out but they can't take it.

Friends of khalsa aid is declared as terrorist organization in india

We needs more please more please tell your friends and families too

I have a back friend in Canada. She always said she prefers Canadian racism to American racism because at least with Canadian racism you get universal \nhealthcare.

Yea the province of Vancouver is the place most people think of , not the whole province of B.C.\nYou can enjoy all the tent towns that are everywhere, because of the cost of a house in that city. But I shouldn't forget to mention that B.C. just made it legal to buy and have small amounts of crack heroin and fentanyl if you want to visit your doped out friends on the east side Vancouver.

Good video, however I disagree that Qc is the best province to live. If you dont speak french you wont go far, specially now with Bill 96. \nAlso, rents are not cheap at all in Montréal, and people arent as friendly ( they are cold as the winter), endless construction causes way too much traffic. Of course that is only my opinion as I ve lived here for 13 years ?

Just found your video and subscribed your channel. Really appreciate your effort and now I'm going to watch all your videos.\n\nYou mentioned at 6:26 to select option of 'To visit other family who are not listed above or friends for less than 6 months'. The option which is right above this option has mentioned 'non-dependent child', just wondering why you didn't select that one. I know your parents are visiting you for less than 6 months, but the option right above the one you selected doesn't include the time frame.

So many people I know are barely paying their rent and we got this. Thanks Biden and friends..

This sounds like Spain with the 40% taxes. Are you guys able to save some money? I'm thinking to go because a fellow Spanish friend said it's expensive but you can save money unlike Spain.. Was she lying? She is a kitchen helper. Thanks for the brutally honest video ladies ❤

As a white Canadian male I freely admit that many Canadians are racists. Not only that, we are polite but we aren’t very friendly. I try to be nondiscriminatory in my ways. Unfortunately my grumpy disposition usually gets me into trouble.

You are overgeneralising when it comes to some sections of your healthcare segment. I work in the field in both rural Alberta and British Columbia and most of what you are saying is not the norm.  \n\nYou present two isolated cases of clearly questionable medical experiences. I don't know where you're from, but you will find good and bad doctors (as for any occupation in life frankly), anywhere - it is saddening that you are presenting this and viewers who are not clued up on the facts could interpret this as the norm.  \n\nFurthermore, communicating with your physician via email is considered to be not secure and private and physicians can get into malpractice issues for doing so. On the other hand, there are a number of secure patient communication platforms approved by the health ministries. With that being said, the adoption of the technology lies with individual physicians. There are success stories from the most rural parts of Canada where this is embraced. You are, once again, speaking very broadly which could be interpreted incorrectly as the norm. \n\nTo summarise: Yes, waitlists for doctors are long, but that is about the only universal truth in your segment. Calling up a few friends is certainly not research - a term that is used way too easily by creators and too easily accepted by their audiences.

I visited Canada about ten years ago, (Toronto, and Niagara Falls) and I didn't see any signs of racism, AT ALL! As a matter of fact, everyone we encountered was very friendly, overly friendly when they knew we were from the States, it was quiet, didn't even hear police sirens not once while there, it was peaceful and quiet, and the city pretty much shut down after ten, maybe this was only there, I don't know.

You couldn't have picked a worse place to settle. What a load of bs. My friend Joseph Banks, a black man from Queens New York, visited me in Canada every fall for over 2o years. He was treated with nothing but respect and my friends, all white, made him a part of the family.

This is a lie , i lived for 13 years in canada and have never faced any racism , i also always a surround myself with a bunch of friends who are black ' white and also asian and have never faced any racism

And she is light skinned too. They dont care . . . Hughhhh If you are not 100% White you can forget it and that include the uppity house N's too who think that the undercover W/S 's in their midst are their friends just because they have whyte friends they think they are so special until reality check remind them too of where they do not fit in at. So Black People. Stop forcing your way into areas you are not accepted.
