Our sense of community in Canada is being destroyed. Everywhere I go I'm surrounded by immigrants with nothing in common.

Please Sir, I really need you to respond to me once again. I studied mechanical engineering, working currently as a field Maintenance Engineer with MTN. I and want to venture into business in the future. Can I apply for a post graduate diploma in Business in Canada????

Exactly, I spent a decade in the States for my education and now I am paying taxes in Canada lol. Good for you Uncle Sam.

I’m Canadian and I would NEVER move the States. But I would never want to move out of Canada at all.. if I HAD to though, never the States.

I know that's how to possible for goeing canada. Plz explain

This is what happens when you think you are being a world leader by letting any Tom Dick Harry Bloke move to your country as though you are selling them infinite pancakes. \n\nIt's a good thing other countries like Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand have made immigration harder and more specific-needs driven as opposed to a revolving door. One day, Canada will be overrun with migrants from developing countries and naturally, that will pull them down with it. Why stay in Canada when you have a neighbor that can offer more for your buck - the Canadian government never accounted for that when they made immigration easier than receiving a university admission.

Please help me out in said direction concerning the Canada Visa.

India is good if you have a business. But if you are salaried and live in Bangalore, Pune, Delhi it takes 1 hr to travel 10km, govt. collects income tax and take GST on even health insurance.\n\nOf course Canada has become crowded and shouldn't be the first choice.\n\nPopulation is 150 cr. It is very difficult to have less traffic and of course competition is high in everything.

Guys why these peoples are charging 8000 Aed, and that is also visit visa for canada.. it cost only 1300 maximum. Even if they mention 1500-2000 i must say okay but 8000 is too much need to confirm for how many person.

Canada is horrible please dont come for god sake dont come here

Noida mae 1 crore sae kam mae koi 3 bhk nahi aayega. It's a biggest myth that houses are affordable in India. Minimum salary in Canada is 2lakhs per month while that is the income of an IIM graduate in India. No one with a salary less than 2 lakh can afford to build a decent size flat in Delhi NCR. Also the quality of flat that you get in India can never be compared by the size of house you get with a backyard, driveway and a garage in canada. \nCivic is no less than 25 lakhs in India and cars are unaffordable in India. Cars are cheaper in USA/Canada/Australia.

I did my postgrad in NYC (Columbia U) and in the years after I move back to Canada to start my career), I would go back multiple times each year. \n\nIf I could afford it (now that I'm retired), I'd love to live there again.\n\nBut is NYC REALLY part of the US, I wonder... What I liked (and like) about NYC is how walkable it is and (though this comes as a surprise to many Americans) how safe it is as a result.\n\nWith that exception, my answer would be the same as most of those you cite here.\n\nThat said, there are data on this: lots of (mostly young) Canadians do move south for employment, for the warmer weather (or because of a relationship) and many do stay there.\n\nThat population is likely to be very undersampled in your survey, I suspect.

Interest rates are increasing as well as rental cost increasing also and our federal warns that if we get raises in wages that will increase inflation if we get any raises in five years and like I stated before I’m close to retirement actually delayed because my pension after working 40 years in Canada is either or at the poverty level on Canada including many of the working poor living close or at the poverty level !

Don't say others they are moving why u are not quity Canada that nosense Canada is beautiful country all of around word life is not easy let us see if u will return dalo

No one is forcing these students to stay in Canada. The entire video argument breaks down right there. Why come to a new place KNOWING you cannot afford it? Why fake financial documents to show the visa officer that you can pay for your degree, and then crib whilst in Canada that you cannot?

Canada is going to be a communist country soon. Remember me when that happens. ?

Hlo sir give me your address I want apply for Canada visit visa

As a Feathered ? North American Indian\n from CANADA ?? \nI am so impressed\n with Indian ?? Nationals here in Canada. \nWeather it be Students or Adults\nAll are contributing Greatly to our economy.\n.I sympathize with those being fraudulently Douped By Agents selling false promises of housing and employment. \nI realize sum family fortunes have been spent sending students to school abroad\n. Those Agents can choke on their ill gotten gains\n\nBe Proud India ??\nYou're valued immigration to our country ?????

Fastest growing non-African country with the slowest economic growth predicted (by the OECD) of any 'advanced' (OECD definition) economy-- until beyond 2060. Worse than Greece's economic growth-- and that place is so hot and miserable you can't even work, and they have 3.5x less people!\n\nNice! Go Canada! ?\n\n\nCannot wait to get a Singaporean golden visa. ?

while shopify does pay less the levels don't line up 1 to 1. it is misleading to suggest that. I don't understand why you didnt choose google canada vs google usa, or amazon canada vs amazon usa.

Woah, this made me ask myself if I really want to study in Canada for some years...

born in Canada, and most agree with samasflats

Canada can have them

I'm Canadian and worked in Dertoit for almost 10 years, I crossed the border daily working for GM. I've also done work in Louisiana, Indiana and all around Michigan. \nAmerica has some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. It's a beautiful country and has a ton to offer anyone with an ounce of drive. The variety you have in your economy is amazing, we don't have a lot of choice when we buy stuff, you guys have so much more to choose from, take restaurants for example, I've never seen so many chain restaurants in one place, we have a handful of them. \nFrom what I've seen, there's also a lot of poverty, crime and violence, but that's literally everywhere right now, even here in Canada, we don't prosecute violent crime anymore. The gun issue is probably the biggest problem...I always felt extremely vulnerable out in public, especially driving, because I assumed everyone had a gun on them, I seen so many random guns on people, it just blew my mind. I always had to keep in mind when I was driving not to road-rage...That's how you get shot. The health care industry in America is nothing but a business model designed to bankrupt people. Our system isn't great at all...nothing to boast about. If you have to visit the ER at any hospital, you'd better bring food and water, you'll be there at least 8 hours before you're even seen by a doctor. Our health care is free yes, but we're taxed to death here because of it. I do indeed wish we had a 2-teir health care system, I want the option to pay to get seen soonest. America and Canada have free(ish) speech. We're both being ruled by leftist loonies, but that's all changing in our next respective election cycles. Biden and Trudeau will be shown the door and we can hopefully get back to healthy debate and more conversation in society...Instead of automatically dismissing each other, vitriolic badgering one another and hating each other. We had unity for a brief time, we all saw it, after 9/11 happened. We put our petty crap aside and saw each other as brothers and sisters. That didn't last very long and we've been in a constant state of crisis ever since. The media has driven a huge nail right through society, and takes a blow at every single issue we face, making it Left vs Right...\nIt's unfortunate to say, but it's going to take something truly devastating, possibly on a biblical scale, for us to come together again.

Right now, no part of Canada is a good place to live. Because Canada has a communist leader, one of the world’s worst.

I have been to Canada and I won’t lie, I’m not sure I want that system in the US. It would be to not be corrupted by wealthy Chinese people and their ill-gotten gains from the CCP.

I'm not an immigration expert or an economist, but the problem with Canada isn't our immigration system, but WHAT the immigrants do afterwards. Sure, we take in hundreds of thousands of them...but for what jobs? Is Canada, for example, a truly dynamic tech hub? At one point yes, but only briefly and it seems like that process has stalled out considerably since the pandemic.\nDo we have the infrastructure for all of these people or are we adding hundreds of thousands of new competitors for housing? We have population growth, but the wages are so uncompetitive that it increasingly feels like Canada is inviting immigrants in to build the country...but Canadians have to create things for them to build or else, this doesn't really work, and these highly mobile, educated people will end up leaving (which is already a problem).

Does look like this guy lived in Australia or Canada - he doesn’t let his wife speak and cuts her

Our country is collapsing. Secret weapon my ass. Engineers and doctors are entering canada and working as taxi drivers.

And still moving to Canada much more difficult than to almost any of the EU country

Don’t come , no jobs after studying master degree from canada, they need labour ?

Canada be like; Thx Murica!

Should we blame the Government? Or Blame Society? \nOr should we blame the images on TV? \nNo, Blame Canada!

the over immigration into canada is destroying it. With more employees wages stagnate as there is competition for jobs, and limited housing, driving up housing while driving down wages. This results in Canada being unaffordable where most live in poverty.

The funny thing is you didn’t even touch on how in Canada you can get permanent residency in just 3 years by going to a college here and working at a Tim Hortons. I really wish that was an exaggeration.

If Canada’s goal is to turn its cities into a combination of India and China then goal accomplished lol diversity means a combination of people with different race, religion and nationality. How is it diverse when all you see are Indians and Chinese people when you go to Toronto or Vancouver. You know there’s an existential crisis in the West when all you see are Indians and Chinese people when you go to London, Toronto, New York, Auckland or Sydney.

Assalam O Alekum Bhaiya \nFemales ager job karna chahti hain safety kay sath canada main tu oska kiya scope ha \naur free sponsor visa ki jobs kis plate farm par dhondhen???\nKindly please batayen

As a Canadian there looks like some great places to visit in the USA but i would never move to the US. The biggest issue in the US is Gun violence, there attachment to guns. Number two is health care, number three is weather volatility and more adverse weather conditions. Instead of one main government the US seems to have two which prevents any real change for the better. Money controls more government and political decisions than even in Canada which is already bad enough. The NRA controls more government and policing. They are seen as the bigger risk to American safety and security. I believe many Canadians believe the NRA are on the cusp of being the largest domestic terrorist organization and closure to a major cartel. Not even the military could control the NRA if the US decided to enforce new laws that the NRA felt would effect their financial, political or perceived control in the US. This is a big reason Canadians may not want to move to the US. To think there is a private military ready to go to war against their own people in the drop of a hat, reminding North Americans of the war between the North and South. There are beautiful places to see in the US, there are hard working and brave people in the US and i am sure there are more good people than bad but those with power, control and weapons have the great degree of balance. The US has a lot to be proud of and still so much possibility and ability to grow if it were not for those with the majority of power that is not being used for good or in the best interest of the majority of US citizens. Love the architecture and old districts and those trying to preserve the environment, farms, seed diversity and best of what made the US great.

It's bad enough i almost don't know anything about Canada. For me that country is backup if the USA didn't give me a visa

Great podcast, great conversation. What a struggle, hopefully everything looks up from here on out! Welcome to Canada and Milton!

I’m Canadian, have lived in 4 countries,now back and retired in Canada.\nI used to visit Palm Springs, NYC, Boston; but stopped in 2015.\nI will never ,ever!, go back, not even just over the Border for a day out.\nI don’t even book flights that involve a change in the US when flying to Europe , even to save some money.\nI think the population of the US in general is becoming more and more brainwashed into warped thinking.\nMy theory is that it’s from keeping decent healthcare and education from the masses…..brains are becoming less and less developed, therefore ripe for ideas instigated by proven morons such as Trump, MTG and the awful Lauren Boebert, to name but a few.\nHarsh, but the US is now a failed place.\nIt used to be a great place…I’m sad now, as the ordinary nice people who don’t subscribe to the ever increasing nonsense there are being subsumed by the worst of humanity if you can call it that.\nWe lived there as children for a bit, but came back to Canada when my Dad got a job here.\nMy brother and I always thank our now long gone parents that we were not brought up as Americans.\n\nIt’s not God Bless America any more, but God Save America.?\n\nWell…you did ask….so there you go.

Hello Good Heart People, \n\nIm From Sri Lanka and I am fully interested to migrate Canada, anyone can help me?

Canada is a dying nation.

Hi Tyler from Toronto Canada. I can kinda understand where some of the answers are coming from. Know that we( up north) are watching our brothers down south with the politics. In 2016 when T$__+&$#p had got into power, there was an exodus from the U.S. I know of a few Canadians who go south for the winter ( 6 months). Not too sure about moving to the U.S.A. but I love to visit. \n As I said, most recently it is more of a political thing. ❤❤

This is very motivating and now i appreciate our decision to come to Canada rather than pursuing any other country. We were in US for 9 and half years. Had similar immigration related uncertainity that led us to finding stability in Canada.\nLove u Canada Couple for sharing this podcast. ❤❤

In my opinion before Prime Minister Trudeau Canada was a much better place to live.

No but would you consider moving to Canada?

Australia best aa I Lived in Aus and now in Canada but weather everything is good there raat nu 3 vje tak you can buy daru ? ontario 9 pm LCBO IS closed technology banking Australia is much better \nCanada legalized weed and now going for opium what the hell is this \nAnd supporting Lqbt whatever it is

My best analogy would be ; Canada = Marge Simpson USA = Homer Simpson. With who would you prefer to live with?

I lived in the US; Virginia for 13 years. For the most part the people are lovely... just like a lot of places. If you treat people with kindness; they usually return that kindness. At least that is my experience. Mind you, I came home in 2006. When I lived there the political climate was completely different. I would absolutely NOT move back to the US. When I came home to Canada; I was so grateful because I had to endure 2 years without Healthcare when I really needed it. I lived on pain pills at that time. I was in a wheelchair by 2008 and so grateful that I was home where my country took care of me when I was unable to work, or even walk. \n\nPolitics has changed so much since then. It was always kind of poler, but when Donald Trump entered the scene; it has become just awful. Again, I love the Americans for the most part, however there is so much racism, homophobia and hate displayed in the country right now. I pray every day that Donald Trump does not become president again. I fear for the United States. I love her as a sister to Canada; she is. I want her people safe...
