We need immigration but at the same time we need to take care of Canadians who need help and are borderline in similar situations so many immigrants come here are in. Canadians are in some horrific spots and need things like affordable housing that is actually affordable, jobs that don’t require much education but pay well, we need conservative premiers across Canada to raise minimum wage to a liveable wage. Canadians are struggling just like immigrants and refugees.

Canada can't even take in 50,000 immigrants safely let alone 500,000.

25% Immigrants in Canada is more than enough. In fact, it's already too much when to take into consideration all the Illegals that are comming from Roxham Road.\n\nEdit: As someone said in the Comments: We need to make more Babies and be able to support them first, Then import them!

No Canada does not need more people! We can’t even take care of our own!

Canada, a non stop construction zone because of immigration. Time to take a pause or stop immigration for awhile. Give us a break for christs sake.

As someone who was an international student in Canada, failed and came back, I’m surprised to see this. What were these people expecting? If you can’t afford to send your child to an international college, don’t do it. If you have to take a loan and put everything you have at risk. If your kids are supposed to work to cover their expenses. How tf is a teenager supposed to work AND study at the same time, living in a foreign country alone, having no one close. It’s the families responsibility to do their research, what does the country has to do with poor financial decisions of a certain group of people? I watched the first 9 minutes only, though.

America wins in my opinion. I think this is more of a video based on Canadian pride rather than facts. things Like half a point for hygiene gets thrown in there which is just a slap in the face to Americans.\nThen idiotic statements about it being better because it's more gay friendly. Why would anyone want to take their child to the land of pedophiles. \nThey also talked about their terrible gun laws as if they were doing something good for Canada.\nAmerica wins by a land slide.

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 ?

It makes me angry that the ones who were lucky enough to study and eventually live in Canada would turn around and start a company that fully takes advantage of someone who wants the Canadian Dream as well. Completely heartless ❗

Fantastic! ? After the last question was asked I was about to head to the comment section to say if Canada's claiming the others, they should also take responsibility for Bieber.. ?

I suggest my brother's and sister's to apply for other countries because Canadian embassy is taking so much time in visa processing and rejection chances are 60 percentage. So please don't apply for Canada.

Hello Joyce can you help someone to apply, I would love to come to Canada to find greener pastures and take care of my 2kids n family...

The students prefer Canada as it is the easiest way to get PR status. And there is no strong vetting system.These are agents’ main selling points. I have seen students struggling for qualified jobs after the course, most of them taking labour jobs. Probably, most of them wouldn’t have any sort of such work in India, here working as a helper for a mason, working as a delivery boy etc.

I'm Canadian and had to be homeless because of all the international students taking every affordable accommodation! Canada was not built to house so many internationals.

Telll themmmm ✅️✅️ it's people taking advantage of people each generation in Canada. You tell them what it is really like plus no law enforcement protection equal it's like entrapment in many ways easy targets, immigrants and the children with greater exposure to influences for distraction maybe terrible coping mechanisms. How Canada is able to achieve political control over the environments. Taking advantage indeed.

As a indian i say canada plzz stop indians coming to canada.plzz ban them because canada is now big anti-India hub for khalistanis and terrorist who will be big national threat to india.because canada govt never take any action on them for vote bank.so either canada bans it or india will ban its citizen traveling canada for jobs and study.

Can we take along spouse on study visa of Canada?

Btw, garanty of success, of employment, doesn't exist and it's baked in the capitalism system that private enterprise and private college prioritize profits (btw, for non Canadian, education, is not subsidized). \nNow, if illegal/fraud practices are occurring, then like any Canadian, you will have to make a complaint to the police and/or take legal action (basically If you don't have money, you're F!). \n \nMaybe the Ontario government should have more stringent laws for private Colleges and recruiting agencies, like mandatory advertising for: \n\t- the required money for subsistence and the low likelihood of finding a good job that will enable students to work; \n\t- the % failure, homelessness, suicide,... \n\t- mental and social stress, differences,... \n \nMaybe Canada could: \n\t- be more stringent with student visa and have a written acknowledgement that states all the risks and pitfalls. \n\t- Guive visa only if the recruiting was done through accredited agencies \n\t- Do official advertisements in India about the risks and requirements of studying abroad. \n \nMaybe a full capitalism society is not moral, but it's the system we decided to live in.

Kids of 3/4 of the state of Punjab in India has moved to Canada after their high school. Parents take loan, sell off their lands to arrange money for the kids.

Thank God someone is speaking the truth regarding Canada ?? our poor hard working Indian farmers are fooled into selling land, taking loans and living in debt and all because of shrewd, lying, promises made by Canadian colleges. This needs to stop,save Indian youth

It wouldn't take much research to find this out. Put that smartphone to good use. Even word of mouth amongst the predominant group must happen or maybe start a Facebook group? If Canada began denying students VISA to them in order 'to protect' them, there would be an outcry. All to say, it's the parents and student responsibility to do their due diligence.

Canada has to take responsibility for the exploitation of these young people. The country is filling its coffers without giving a hoot about their well being or success. Shameful

Hi Jason from the Uk I want to move on and settle down in Canada. How will I get there I am a British citizen and how much money. I am not about immigration rules I have to apply online. It’s having to take too many tests that’s why? You need slot of IQ \nTests so where do I stand in the immigration process. It’s not easy at all. I feel held back. Why is it too hard \nI am waiting to buy a PC laptop before I start to apply. How much it will cost ? \nThanks Jason but I feel it’s very hard. \nIt’s not like the UK. I can speak in English not sure about the French language. It’s a very hard situation to do but willing to pass all the tests ok. \nI hope to go abroad. Please let me know. The language test is hard and what else can I do. I use my mobile phone at the moment. Ok Jason ok. \nI am single at 54 years at the moment. \nI have good pass. Can I meet you on this issue. Ok Jason. I might do it soon. I don’t get much help. Right now I can speak to you. I can speak only English. Yes I have worked in the UK. \nWhat can I do go to the immigration office in London. The cost is very much expensive. Ok. Maybe in sales work medical job. I have no job right now so I am waiting for a new job. I am wanting to leave the Uk it’s ok but no real future at all. I will but need my laptop that will cost slot of money. I don’t want to be duped in this application forms. I want a visas and permanent work visas or something like the same thing. I don’t get much help. Ok Jason let me know when I find my laptop ok.

It is very sad to see that Govt of Canada (both federal and provincial) Officials talk the talk and don't walk the walk. So many violations are taking place, yet no action...

Cannot believe this goes on in Canada... I thought differently about the college situation until watching this. Misleading people into living in and paying for these situations is reprehensible. Whoever plays a part in taking advantage of these students is disgusting.

As a former international student in Canada who’s gone through all of that; the harsh winters, super high tuition, homesickness, employment uncertainty.. \nmy advice, RESEARCH BEFORE YOU COME TO CANADA. Getting here is easy, staying here and thriving is a whole different story.\nYou will have to work doubly hard, adapt quickly, have a fortitude of steel, and please TAKE CARE OF YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH.\nTo those thinking of going through this journey, all the best to you.

So I think Canada is ranked 3rd best in the world to live in (I might be wrong but it's top 5 for sure). Your speaking about nothing to do in Canada, Health care concerns, high taxes or cost of living and other things (honestly your video was just hurting my head listing to). While Canada does have issues (like any other country in the world) What you outline highlights the privileged life you are living. You are correct in pointing out that the health care system is flawed, it is not perfect by all means but AT LEAST YOU ARE GETTING HEALTH CARE. Take the stats for example (I had the privilege of going to the hospital in Texas) My bill came to 3000 for a twisted ankle. They charged me over 500 dollars just for walking into the hospital. I'm not knocking that stats, but if you do not have money, you're fucked for health care. Instead of waiting 8 hours to see a doctor, you're now on Web MD trying to diagnose yourself. You are bitching about high taxes, how do you think Schools, Police and fire services, Emergency service hospitals etc etc etc get paid? through wishes and hope? You are again welcome to go anywhere else and enjoy whatever bs they have going they might have low taxes in other parts of the world but your going to have to pay for certain services you are taking for granted here. As Cost of living, if you live in Toronto or BC yes the cost of living is high, but at the same time, the average household income is high as well. I'm sorry minimum wage in most of Canada is roughly 15 dollars an hour, and the average incoming for most provinces is over 100k. I'm not sure what else to say on that subject :D As for things to do, seriously, stop living under a rock. Please go and travel Canada, to name a few things you can travel to Niagara, Go to Banff, Visit hot springs or enjoy any of our national parks. Not to mention all the multicultural festivals that take place. I guess what I'm trying to say here is, Canada is flawed and has its issues. However, It's a beautiful country and is a gem of a place to put roots down. I'm sorry you guys didn't feel that way.

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

Ya u come to canada bud u take that shit off we live in a civilized environment

I think it’s also important for them to say they don’t consider moving back or moving back in the near future if they want to naturalize as Canadians. Just in case one coconut head decides to take their words and see them as people that don’t want to be in Canada long term and frustrate their naturalization process

You think Vancouver is ugly and you use Chicago as a point of comparison? Chicago has globally famous architecture, Vancouver does not - Chicago is famed as an incredible city of architecture all throughout Europe. It's certainly not an ugly city in the way Vancouver is. And it's very typical for a Canadian to have an anti-American inferiority complex that takes for granted the advantages the US has over Canada, one of those being a more robust history, a much more powerful and influential culture, and better urban character and architecture. the US has tons of globally famous cities, Chicago being one of them, and the city is certainly pretty. Canada doesn't have any global cities. You sound kind of Europhilic and incredibly ignorant.

Because another genocide of Canada uncovered! Especially committed by nuns, killing dark kids and burying all in church yard! Once, twice,....people don't want to take chance for the 3rd one.

Awww, it's so sad to hear u talk this way....... No country is perfect. Higher taxes means we can take care of the less fortunate and.....I can get an operation whenever I need one and it won't take my life savings to pay for it.\nMinimum wage here is much higher than in the US, so if u think having fun is better over there.....go c for yourself......as well has any kind of healthcare and medication.... nevermind when u have to c a Dr and u pay almost nothing.\nExactly what kind of fun r u missing out on living here??? If u have the means to pay for ur fun.....u can have it.\nThe pandemic def made almost everything more expensive......all around the world and it's going to take some time to get caught up again. But there r lots of greedy people everywhere and just want the extra cash so those prices will stay up.\n\nWas life that much better where u came from??? Canada will not keep u here if u want to go elsewhere, but while u r here, please don't trash my country. I'm an immigrant too and happy to be in CANADA, where for the most part, we take care of each other.\n\nI'd like to hear ur podcast on the differences between ur country and this country.......I honestly do. I'm an open minded person but I need an explanation....please....

Lol even Candian born people want to get out of Canada. When you put aside the mental bias you will realise moving to Canada NEVER made sense.\n\nThe Canadian government basically taking advantage of immigrant hopes and dreams for a better life to keep their struggle economy going...

This was so interesting to hear! I’ve lived here in Canada my whole life. I thought Everyone lived this way .. I need to leave and live somewhere warm. I also need to be able to work less in order to spend as much time w my time with my family as possible and have enough time left over to rest and take care of myself properly. You can’t do that here.\n\nSorry I may have missed it but where are u living now? Where is your home country?

Yall hit the points bang on..it's sad to say but Canada takes from u so much that u have to keep working. ? light communist setup?

If you want to save your wealth, you should have a TFSA. The reason why Canada's cost of living is high is that the interest rates are too low. It built an unreal housing market. It is no different in the U.S. I find it concerning those immigrants in Canada who complain about healthcare, all I can say is, if you take care of yourself and plan carefully for your own healthcare, it will work. If you want to see waste, incompetence, and extreme costs, you need to visit the U.S. as a resident for a while. Sounds like you ladies should leave.

You're ladies are right on track with that.\nI spent my long life in Canada working, working and working and when time came to finally retire I realized that money I'm gonna get from government will make me the richest guy under the bridge. So, I've packed my bags and left Canada to retire on decent level in back home when I came from. As sad as it is, this is the truth you are exposing to everyone here and thank you for that.\nDon't waste your time there,it takes one moment to realize that you're not young anymore. Life pass by, so fast.\n So, get out of there and be happy in places you love the most . Take care ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am Canadian and proud of it. Left Canada when I was 24 (now in my 50's), never been back, and love it!!!! This does not take anything away from Canada, I simply enjoy living in Europe.

I remember a time when the cost of living in Canada was much more affordable. I also remember a time when we didn't wait so long to get our free healthcare. The healthcare issue started many years ago when some old Conservative dude was in charge and he decided the best way for us to save money was to take it out of the healthcare funds. And then everything went ?with our healthcare. The cost of living was always high but it was balanced with our incomes. But it just absolutely ridiculous since Covid! I have to take on part time work on top of my full-time job now just to afford my increased cost of living!!

I was born in the USA,I would never live anywhere else but Canada. Gun laws do it for me. Most from the islands think they are owe something, breaks me up. Then you have the others who are happy to live here. if you don't like living here , please leave. Bye, take care.

Many places in the USA emergency room wait times are just as long as Canada and elective surgeries can take months

Canada is a playground for the rich people of the world. If you're a migrant worker. The government has jobs and plan that pay just enough to keep supply of cheap labour circulate in Canada . If you don't want to work , there's new people who'd come for it. The goal of Canadian immigration is to supply blue collar workers who'd come and work for pennies and not take Canadian white collar jobs.

LOL next time you go to British Columbia go to where I'm from and it's a little Valley called blueberry Creek it's in the interior about 400 mi from Vancouver Vancouver isn't as bad as you say it seems that way but truly I lived there for about 10-15 years after I grew up in blueberry and it is definitely unpredictable that's for sure you have to take an umbrella with you or a raincoat or a sweater or something cuz you could go out in the morning it's bright and sunny and by the time you get to the bus stop it's raining that is very true but it doesn't last long there is certain seasons that it rains but if you look at the meteorology it really isn't that much more than anywhere else and gloomy you want to talk about gloomy you live in Alberta I live there for quite a while and one morning I woke up and I just couldn't take it anymore all you see is different shades of gray and brown so I packed up and went home and finally saw green again I'm glad you guys are in Canada but boy do I hear you I used to be middle class owned a home and some land and then I became homeless because yes that's what our government is trying to do they don't want me to class people we have too much power when Harris came into power he almost succeeded in wiping out the middle class dirt poor have no say in anything so I'm trapped here I hope you guys have the freedom to go where you like I really do you guys are great

People that are immigrants have a hard time,. You have to pay bills, still send money back to family members, it's very hard for immigrants. Also canada take too long to give citizenship.

This video for privileged people, not people struggling to survive. In a country like Nigeria, a PhD holder is applying for trucking driving job and secondary teaching job. They would be grateful to move to Canada for a befitting job and will be excited to pay tax. Many with good educational background don't even have any job at all. At least Canadian government takes taxes and provide good infrastructure. In Nigeria, the government takes your tax and nothing works, no jobs, no security, no healthcare, no good roads or infrastructure. It's difficult to travel inter state without being kidnapped. Your family sells all your properties and pay the ransom but still be killed. You can even be gunned down in your house or on the street just for next to nothing. All my relatives in Canada are happy with their families and are begging me to come. Even people with good jobs are moving to Canada. They're not doing it for themselves for the future of their children, for peace of mind, security and to escape poverty. \n\nIf you're in doubt please move back to Nigeria then you will know Canada is heaven. Many have resorted to prostitution and crime because they believe they don't have any other way to survive. I want to come to Canada not to get rich but to get a decent job and live a meaningful life with my family. I will be more than grateful to contribute to the progress of Canada even beyond paying my taxes.

I don't think Canada is boring bcos of places to go, it's boring bcos ppl can't spend the little they have aftr d government takes vat and high tax rate.

Yes u have said truth, but why are people increasingly considering moving to Canada??? And you who are there, why are you not leaving but u talk about other people who are leaving???..\nDo you know how it takes to earn what u save a month in Canada here in a country like Tanzania, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Congo, uganda despite high taxes etc..\nPlease someone help me I like Canada and I need to come...

But Wait O,\n\nAre you Sisters talking about Blacks living in Canada?\n\nKML, you Sisters are Talking Thrash, O!\n\nWhich Province are you Talking about in Canada.\n\nNobody pays Phone Bills anymore, Bros, WhatsApp Rule but one Can get a Really Cheap Phone Plan.\n\nToronto, has The Raptors, the Blue Jays, Toronto FC Major league Soccer, Maple Leafs Hockey, all the Best Rhythm and Blues and Hip Hop artist from the United States and Too Many other Attractions.\n\nBros, do not Watch Nollywood’s Movies and then Thrash Talk Canada’s Universal Health Care. Canada has Probably the Best Health Care System in the World, no Need for Private Health Care because there are Numerous Drop in Health Clinics.\n\nThe Main Reason why Foreign Professional are not Quickly Incorporated into the Canadian System is because they must First Prove themselves by Upgrading their Skills to meet Canadian Job Market Skills.\n\nOMGosh, I knew these Sisters Sounds like Nigerians.\n\n\nSisters Hush, please Hush!\n\nPerhaps New York is Warmer than Toronto But Canadian Blacks “ Must “ Opt into the Canadian System of Wealth.\n\nI mean, as easy as it is to go online and Purchase a Toronto Raptors Game Night, Ticket, Nigerians are not Interested but There are Many Night Clubs and Nigerians are Not Interested and there are Major League Soccer which Nigerians like but instead of Going out and Watching live Games, they would Rather stay at Home and Watch Europeans Leagues Soccer.\n\nFinally, Sisters, do not Bash the Canadian Tax System and Complain that the Taxes that the Government take is too High.\n\nIf Nigeria had a Proper Working Universal Tax System, even Close to that of Canada, Nigeria, a Country with a Population of over 200 Million, would Be as a City, which One can Compare, to the State of New York.\n\nAgain, Sisters Hush, do more Research before you go out to make a Mockery of your Lack of Knowledge about Canada.\n\nAll that Blacks throughout Canada need to Do is Opt in to the Canadian way of Life and leave behind the Lifestyles they had when they were in their Native Country.\n\nCanada is Better and Safer, for the Quality of Life for Blacks, when it comes to Quality of Life in America.\n\nAs a matter of Fact, during a time of period of Slavery for our People, many of our People were Running away from America to the Warmth and Comforts of Canada.\n\nBut wait O, \n\ndo you Sisters know that Blacks were Slaves in The US ? \n\nThat there are More Black People in America, than the whole Population of Canada?\n\nAah, Bros Life Nah Balance O!

Look, I would appreciate it if you guys can talk about Nigeria ??, Leave Canada for Canadians to talk about...You are clueless...Live in the States and be carrying guns everywhere including in schools....\nLook , Stay in your Nigeria and shut up....Just make sure you have electricity....\nThe country is so bad, Why do you even want to come here and make money.?...Am a proud Canadian ?? \nBlacks would always complain, Just take it to your country where you belong, and it's called Nigeria ?? and don't come here with your fake certificates... That may work in the States...??
