Was born in Canada in the 50’s and grew up in a predominately immigrant area in Montreal. My father came in 1928 and my friend’s parents came just after WWII. They came with NOTHING and didn’t expect anything. There were no English classes offered to new immigrants nor free health care. All of children made a success. The cold winters were fun as we skated, skied, etc… Mind you it was hard for our parents in the beginning as life isn’t always a bed of roses but we grew up in a peaceful country.

I moved to Canada in 2003, I think over the past few years things really took a turn for the worst and alot of the issues we're encountering now are mostly a result of government incompetency \n\n1) Instead of focusing on treatment and recovery we prioritized harm reduction and drug decriminalization which largely results in the current mental health/addiction crisis \n\n2) Instead of seeing housing as a public need, policies make housing investment vehicles (notably for rich folks in foreign countries) and locals can't really afford to buy or rent as a result\n\n3) Instead of building mass transit infrastructure including subways/light rail we continue to be extremely car-centric, most Canadians can't get around without a car but also can't really afford one due to all the costs associated with ownership. \n\n\n4) Government continues to cut back on healthcare spending despite an aging population across the country\n\nAnd one nongovernment-related aspect which is NIMBYism -- endless delays/protests on all major projects because someone is afraid their backyard views might be obstructed or some old trees might be cut.

I am over 35 and my wife is just 31 but I have a sibling in Canada and she doesn't. We both have BSC in the same course. Who should be the primary applicant?

Canucks!?\nUSA is a Christian country, primarily.\nIf I were to relocate to Canada, I’d bring my registered fire-arm, I would assume I’d contact local police for proper registration?

Canada is great best country

I am a beaution and want to go to Canada with my family what's the procejer plz reply

You forgot health care…I think Canada has it better but we pay a lot of taxes

Great step by step video brother. @jatindervaran Thanks ❤\nQ: I and my wife would like to invite my mother in law to canada for this august, since we are expecting . Is it possible for both of us to invite her mother to canada? If yes, what changes should i make in the above said documents?

That doesn’t work well in Canada. They enforce their immigration laws.

Canada is in America. North America.

I would just say that your first point about cities being way safer depends on where in Canada you live. We don’t have anything as bad as Detroit or Chicago in Canada, but we have some bad cities. You guys are from out East but in central and western Canada there are places you wouldn’t want to be out after dark. When I stayed in Prince Albert the hotel attendant warned me not to leave the hotel after dark. I did anyways and walked to a pizza place only 5 blocks away. On the way back I had a group attempt to swarm me and had to sprint back. Same goes for areas of Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina etc… there are tons of low income reserves around these places and they tend to dump their undesirables on to the cities

The tap water on my reservation in Canada is non drinkable so I guess we get American water on reserve hahaha

You are wrong in many cases. Your mind is blinded by frustration and you exaggerate. The EU has even dumber rules than Canada. Drinking alcohol in public spaces is prohibited in many European cities. Speeding and traffic fines are handed out like confetti in Europe. Fighting them in court is almost impossible. Taxes in the EU are generally higher than in Canada. What is so beautiful about the crumbling and dirty facades of European buildings and uneven and dangerous cobblestone sidewalks. Corruption, toxic politics, favoritism and protectionism are huge in the EU. Prices for consumer goods, petrol and healthcare premiums are very high in the EU. Miserable weather and depressing gray skies are quite common in Europe...

Lived in NJ????California ?????? Texas???? currently in Georgia ?????? once i get my finances together, i am definitely back to Texas?. Yes, the environment and people in general are different. Since i moved here, the people i have came in contact most of them are aggressive,rude(no southern hospitality for me) and ATL have the worst drivers and traffic. Living cost is way more than Texas. I need to visit Canada one day!

Canada is a dumpster fire communist hell hole. Feeling much safer how can you feel safe when your government takes your weapons. I guess you're ok with them being armed and not citizens. This is what they do construct policies to make those feel safe. When in fact your in more danger. You could be starring down the barrel of a government agent for anything.

Stop saying America lolllllll it is a continent not a country !!! Canada is part of America as well as Mexico. The title sould've of said , why i moved from the United States to Canada loll

Southeast TX, Houston etc sounds like the closest to Canada

English kamzor hai matlab thodi thodi hai to Canada me job mil sakti hai to pls pls reply

As a Canadian I love living in Canada without worrying about getting shot in school.

Thank you for your detailed information, it sounds like in Australian while I thought Canada would be better especially the health system, Thanks

I am really shocked to hear these two girls regarding why people are leaving Canada. As I heard cost of living is too high to survive in Canada. So what is the point working hard when have no reward end of the day as all your money goes into taxes and you left with nothing. It seems to me Canadians govt ripping people off instead helping people to have better life. I am shocked that you have to wait to see doctor eight hours .It is terrible to live in Canada as you not get any luxury money but only survival money. Canada govt have to make a change so people can stay otherwise people will leave and have a better life somewhere else.

bahi invitation visit visa ko work permit mian convert kiya jasaktha Hain or waha Canada main job karsakthe Hain after convert into work permit

It's cleaner in Canada and much much much less fat people.

Healthcare. As an American living in Canada, Canada actually care about their people. You have a major health issue, it won't bankrupt you. You also see your doctor more for preventative care.

Trudeau is a huge L for Canada.

Man I wanted to buy me an island Canada has a lot of islands for sale but they won't let me across the border because I have a felony

When my parents ask me why I’m moving to Canada\n\nMe: Tap Water

Now do Canada’s median house price.

I love Canada. It's fantastic that we don't have to worry about safety. One thing I do like about America is that you have the right to defend your home with as much force as you want. In Canada it can be difficult to defend yourself because they can make the claim that you used too much force to remove someone. I think that's bs. If you're in my house without my consent, I should be able to do whatever I want to get you out. It's my house.

Australia is just a warm canada. We are sister countries. Under the monarch. We have lots of tourists here from nth america. Many film here also because its cheaper. We have less weird tax's lol

I went to Canada love the vibe. However I’m from Chicago. So believe me when I say “ITS FUCKING COLD IN CANADA” Y’all cold is next level. That bitch actually hit my bones. Like wtf

I think the thing that makes such a difference in the USA and Canada is population. California has a bigger population than all of Canada.

I'm from the west coast Arizona so really no coastline but I'm from the west lol. East Coast women got nothing on the west coast women. See I've been to like 12 states. I have been to Canada twice. I've been to Alaska Puerto Rico, Hawaii. Nowhere out of country except Canada. I can't lie. Canada has some beautiful women too

America is more fun, and Canada is more boringly safe

Nah bro I lived in Canada all my life and I never trust that tap water I always buy bottled or run it through bare filters

To me its crazy to see how different living in the city is from a rural or even Suburban area. Like cost of living in most burbs is no where near either countries city.\n\nIve been to a few places, several different parts of the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico and what they all taught me is i dont want to live in a city.

You guys are absolutely right about the worst parts of Canada being like the best parts of America.

I love how boring our politics are here in Canada

I live just outside of Chicago and basically from y'all video i got Canada has better food water safety and cost of living. Here in a America we got better...checks notes?: flight travel. Wtf America.

The way things are going here in Canada, I'm moving back to America.

Renting may be cheaper in Canada but buying a house in Vancouver and Toronto is damn near impossible. And our woman are killing Canadian woman.

You did miss the one important issue and that is health insurance. I think you did a good job of discussing he issue again and were genuine with your opinions. I went to montreal in 1990 and it was great because it was like Europe and so french and unlike the US. I dont know what it would be like to live there but for vacation it was fun. And i think it is obvious because you both have money now the us Healthcare system is superior to Canada. If i dont have money for health insurance, i would love Canada for being free. But if i have serious illness, the us is superior.

even the ethnic demographics are different in western canada there are pretty much no black people, and we have way more indians and asians.

Montreal the cost of living is so low, because it's in Quebec - where little immigration happens. If you compare the cost of living/rent in Toronto/Vancouver and surrounding areas (basically where 25% of Canada's population lives) the cost of living is higher than most areas in the U.S.

I left Toronto a few years ago to London Ontario and I definitely agree that Toronto has gotten very dangerous. I have a friend that got shot in west mall in 2018 I also have another friend who goes to school and his high school was threatened with a bomb. There was also that crazy guy that ran over a muslim family with his truck over the summer. Canada is fucked

Canada is way safer buy taxes suck out there lol

Women in Canada are so much more attractive than American women.

Give it time, the globalist will destroy Canada just like they did America. Europe is already starting to unravel. Riots and protest all the time, increasing crime and no solutions.

I love that people ONLY think about Toronto when they think Canada. \nComing from BC on the West Coast, living in Vancouver, the worst parts are the homelessness, the drugs, and the alienation. As a white guy it's very hard to find a healthy community to be a part of, whereas the Asian communities (Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, etc) are very tight knit. \nBC is also CRIMINAL for cost of living. Not just housing but groceries, utilities, etc. Its beautiful country, and a lot of the smaller towns and cities are nice in terms of the people, it's just kinda crazy. \nStill, I wouldnt want to live anywhere else for very long.

My most Canada story was when my girlfriend (now wife) dropped $200 in cash on a bus in Toronto and didn't notice. She was able to retrieve it because someone turned it in to the lost and found.
