Hello sir, your videos are always phenomenal.\nI am a Doctor and after watching your video i have decided for AIP.\nI have some queries related to my work or job.\n1. How can I get job offer?\n2. Do I need a licence first. If yes, How can I get this?\nI would be grateful if you could please answer my queries.

Alberta #2.... LOL! Kidding right? \nThat would equate to Wyoming being the 2nd best place to live in the U.S. while having seasonal climate like Alaska without the mountains.\nAlberta's all good if you love 2 months of 'summer' known as 'Rodeo Season' followed by 10 months of sub arctic WINTER known as 'Hockey Season', wear only plaid shirts and jean jackets, accessorize your all denim wardrobe with a leather belt sporting a chrome buckle the size of a hubcap, your choice of footwear consists of hard and uncomfortable high heel boots with ridiculous pointed toes, wouldn't dare leave your home unless fully costumed like a casting extra in a B movie Spaghetti Western complete with a hat the size of bucket, while having dietary needs that are easily satisfied from both of the 2 known food groups of Beef or Wheat, and your 2 favourite 'cultural interests' are 'Country' & 'Western'. (Good luck trying to find a radio station that plays anything but)\n\nThe views are spectacular if you're keen on flat vast expanses of endless nothingness uninterupted by anything of interest other than petroleum industry related facilities, if that's your thing.\n\nBonus..... with the second largest indoor mall in North America... complete with waves and a beach so you never have to leave the province to go on vacation. Your kids can feign battle on a full size mock pirate ship or midget submarine, while Mom sip's pina colodas under a plastic palm tree beachside and watching shirtless cowboys wade ankle deep in the 'surf' while still wearing their 'Wrangler' branded jeans. Family content, Dad can strut down the mall concourse to find 'Whiskey Row' and select his favourite 'Saloon' to wile away the hours guzzlin' suds and swillin' whiskey to his hearts content, or until Mom's run off to get cowpoked and the kids are floatin' face down in an olympic sized wave pool with an artificial tropical south seas backdrop.\n\nNo worries about the future when Alberta's only industry of petroleum implodes. Alberta's plan B is to regain it's lost position of wheat exports now that the world has lost it's appetite for Russian toast. Your kids can look forward to lifetime employment of waiting for harvest while hanging out on a split rail fence sucking a wheat straw perpetualy held between their teeth until it's time to fire up the old John Deere tractor and drive straight lines for 40 days and 40 nights.\nSounds like Alberta's just short of heaven in the #2 ranked postion of best Provinces to live in Canada.

Could only watch 1 min of this bullshit

Just watching this video made me feel ❄️❄️❄️❄️ cold

Hello Joyce, I have been following you and still watch you in mutembei TV , please I need an advise about the nurse sector please can I have your email address please

Thanks for valuable info. Joyce.always watching.

Africans watch Hollywood lies and think that's how USA is better than Africa.

Are there any changes as I am watching this after 1 year?

Western World look Like Graveyards where no life Activity you go to work and watch Tv go to work Watch Tv News it Make you Mentally sick After Few Years . you should visit Africa Or Asia and see how people live there .There is A poverty But you will see Smile on people Face

When I came as an immigrant in the 70s life was much better. We could walk to the store, walkable cities, we waited at the bus with all the kids (no bussing/school choice) no worries playing outside because we had a group of kids and no fear of social workers, and everyone had a grandma at home, one of which watched us. Now, no.

I have been to many different countries. Seems people pay rents or mortage and only go in the house to sleep in many countries. Families all live nearby. Being a single parent here is a hard life. Even family wont help you much of the time. In countries I have visited..most life seems to happen outside, groups of people outside talking or walking around, lots of life and activity. The USA is the land of the lonely, broken families and people strung out on drugs or drunk. If you are not watching your child, they can be kidnapped. Many people dont allow their kids to roam around alone. I crave to go to other countries and enjoy. I love the USA, dont get me wrong. Saturday nights here, Tucson, 1000s of people are partying downtown.. so there are things people do communally here, partying is one of them. Some sporting events as well.. huge crowds of people go to various sporting events, football, basketball, baseball and hockey are the main ones.

If you ask me, India has also become a lonely country. Unless you like to stay within a single community, religion, FAMILY etc. you become isolated. And cities are now full of tall apartment buildings where people are locked away. Same with gated communities everywhere and suburbs. Lonely people watching the world on TV.

One reason, is that we do not have a lot of kids in the US, anymore. From 1940-1980, most homes had 2-5 children living there. There were a lot of kids to play with, and not much to do inside the house besides watch tv. In the neighborhood you're walking through, I'd be surprised if more than two homes on each block have any kids at all.

Another issue is that some white families have sold off or abandoned their family homes in once vibrant community's because they have refused to live with other people of color who happen to move in. Then black communities build up over say 50 to 75 years a great community, their own churches , schools, day cares, playground, crime watch and near jobs and easy transportation suddenly others with money wish to expand in those same areas. So taxes go up. Fire insurance goes up. Schools are closed down due to so called lack of budgets. Factory's move out farther. And or new higher technologies come in only looking for a few or certain type of trained skilled workers with higher educational degree's. All of these complex events cause the death of a functional great long standing community. By the time others come and say hey, where are the kids, where is the small local business and the great gardens, farmer markets or book clubs, libraries, community workshops, and black church's giving out food? Trust me its not such a simple answer. Many many other forces are at play. Entire sections of the city and rural areas have gone through displacement.

Block parties, cook outs, neighborhood meetings, bus trips to the beaches, weddings and Saturday clean ups were all apart of our past community's. Yes some still exist. However, anytime Blacks in America have demanded equity, justice, education, health rights, human rights, and fair housing, we are met often with a back lash. Suddenly, rents go up. Houses have doubled or tripled in increase. Crime waves have made it almost impossible for people to come out and relax freely. Political changes have also played a major roll. Neighborhoods have been redlined. Even where one goes to vote has been moved. White racism and fear, entire industry's have moved put of key areas. So thete is a natural break down. Neighborhood meets come to a end and different organizations from schools, to planting trees to parking all get affected due to such changes. Local small businesses that knew each family members also close up and leave. Its not a question of oh you have everything you need in your American house. That is not it! Its more complex. The lack of kids playing out front or the older ladies keeping watch have disappeared also due to no rent control policies.

Trying and working out a way to travel to the US as am watching this. Truth be told we as Africans(From Ghana) purely travel for economic reasons. Am a graduate with a Bachelor for 7years with great IT SKILLS but system doesn’t help entrepreneurs to grow here. We love family but as our proverb goes, “you leave home to take care of home”. Trying to get an MFA Schooling and get a job to support ….

The U.S. is very large, and there are many different types of people and many different types of neighborhoods, cities, and communities. I have lived where neighbors knew one another very well, and their kids would play ball in the street or play baseball at the local park or playground. I have lived where there are walking trails where you would see the same familar faces time and again. I have lived where there were many community activities. There are places where you can find farmer's markets and where churches are large and hold events. Our town has many groups that you can join, and there is a local theater. There are cities of course, where you can find all sorts of things to do. People do have a tendency in many places to have their spaces, and as most people do have what they need within those spaces...and many are spending more and more time on computers and watching televisions, we are becoming more estranged than we once were. We have come to value privacy. But, again, there are many many people with many different lifestyles. Today I went to shop at two different stores and ended up in conversations with several people. One man invited me to visit his farm. One woman told me all about her home and garden. Another lady told me about her daughter and what was going on with their family. I did not feel like a stranger, and the people I saw working in different businesses today were talkative and interacting with many other people, including friends and neighbors and other familiar faces. it just takes a little effort to smile and to speak. That being done, I was very happy to return to my home and have my own space again, where I knew I could take a nap without anyone knocking unexpectedly on my door. So....it depends on what you want. I would hesitate to paint the U.S. with a very broad brush. \nThat being said, it is very difficult to leave your home behind. It can be very difficult to stop seeing differences because you did love so many things about where you grew up, though you might not realize how much you will miss them until you've gone. I feel that in myself, and I have to be very careful not to miss the potential and possibilities where I am, because I am always thinking about how I miss where I once was.

People are just too attached to their electronics now more than 20 years ago. If they stopped watching so much TV and just felt they should let their devices rest on the table a little instead of holding it all the time, they would feel the need to just watch the clouds around or the trees around you or simply enjoy fresh air even if they don't do anything

Not does he give a thinkers dam. He has watched this problem slide now for year's, and did NOTHING, what we can count on is his promises are worth less than a the piles of manure that come out of his mouth.

I have watched lots of videos. But your's awesome and more informative ❤️\nCan you please advise me, is it possible to move to any provinces of canada like Ontario, Alberta etc:- once i got PR through AIP.\nIs it mandatory to stay in the province from where i got PR ?\nCome to canada with temporary work permit or with PR. What you will recommend ?\nI have started my process through AIP.\nYour quick response will be highly appreciated.

I'm watching from Uganda ??... those trees are even in a poor condition lmao

I come from a place where your business is my business and having watched this and read the comments too, i'm super scared of that place.

This one is best video i have ever watched..... its really useful n all information that i needed. Thank q ?.... i have a query.... is IELTS is required after the PhD degree ?..?

If you want a social life there, go to a club to play some sport, people are social according to their interests, and they dont want to be bothered at home where they may want to be on the internet or watch netflix

Thank you for speaking about this topic!!! After staying there for 25 years, I can totally relate to it. Your life is in auto-pilot and you don’t even think. Life is good, you keep watching even the awful movies from your country, connect with the friends back home and read every news bit longing and comparing the life at home…that is the life we lived\n\nSuddenly, after my husband’s death, the light bulb finally turned on and moved to India to raise my son 6 years back. The impromptu play dates, relatives and friends dropping in, the casual conversations with the milkman, newspaper guy, the screaming noise when the kids are getting out of school, friends volunteering to take your kids for a weekend getaway… these little people connections are so important. \n\nWestern countries economically developed. But hungry for love and connection..

It's always a pleasure watching your videos.\nIn-depth Lifestyle videos is perfect to grow your channel

Anyone watching this must read the comments as well.

back again to watch this

Very good! I try to describe this to people when overseas and most would-be immigrants don't listen to me. It's very, very sad to watch people's hearts sink about 2-3 months after arrival. I prefer to travel and live just about anywhere else.

Is the drugs and crime thing THAT bad in USA? I mean I watch them American tv shows and the crimes shown like, killing and beating, rapes, murders, assassinations, child abuse, drug dealing cartel etc. But I thought they're tv shows so are exaggerated. But is the violence real?

If you watch any old newsreel films of cities from 100 years ago, the first thing you will probably notice is how many people are outside on the sidewalks, standing outside shops, talking to each other. Then compare that to film of today and the streets of most towns are empty, there is nobody outside, the only time you know people are around is when cars drive by. It's true, life in the U.S. has changed radically, people no longer socialize outside, life is inside and people avoid others.

I have always wondered about this. You look at literally any other continent in the world and you see many people out on the streets hustling and bustling. Especially here in Pakistan, everything is always alive. But whenever I look at the U.S or Canada on Google Maps, I always get this strange lonely feeling. Why are the streets always so empty? I have often thought that despite the endless amount of celebrities and YouTubers, journalists etc. who are always noisy on the news and social media, and portray a very lively image of North America, I really felt that the situation of the common man is quite different. The common man of North America must not think that their neighborhoods being this lonely and empty is normal. After watching this video, that belief of mine has been validated.

The lingering and deeply embedded poison in US/Canada is suburbs. This not how humans have ever lived, or should live. It isolates you from entire human society and only outlet is commercial spaces. It's built to optimize consumption. You absolutely require a car. You sit isolated in a box then get out b$$y more and then get back at home to watch ad$ on TV. Contrast this with how humans even now live in a society that's normally built. EU, Middle East, and old Asian cities. First residential and commercial areas aren't apart by 15 miles. Instead much of the first floor is filled with appropriate commercial shops and offices. Then most streets are walking/biycycle streets, you can bring a car in but wont use it as a road to get to other side as streets are not straight and crampy. You have 5-8 blocks of buildings with walking streets in between them, these clusters of buildings are then surrounded by car roads. For 80% of things you can leave house and walk 5 mins to get them. Groceries, accountant, pharmacy, hardware store, computer store, mobile phone store, ice cream shop, dentist, general doctor, beauty saloon, barber....... all in walking distance located at first floor. This layout promotes cohesion between neighbors, builds community, builds famliarity, provides safety, kids can play in streets as there is no traffic, and it's not unnatural to have social circle of 30+ people due to this. Back to suburb... only natural human connection you are gonna get is church, walmart, parties, and once you leave college/hs... you are done.

Adam, i love to watch your vlogs. A lot of awareness involved. However, Canada is a DREAM LAND for those coming from third world. Atleast they get enough food and shelter in Canada.\nI agree Canada could be worthless for first world EU.

Man this is so depressing to watch. Damn it’s so quiet. You’re just on your own.

Love watching you guys! I live in Maryland USA and as a young Latina woman I have been followed in stores. I’m light skin, dark brown hair and I hate to feel like I’m doing something wrong. I hope this world is a little better when my daughter is older.

Representing Nairobi Kenya. I believe in travelling and experiencing different cultures around the world. But as for settling, these Western countries seem too cold and lonely for us and our way of life. We are very communal, we sit and walk outside a lot. Common Market places are an integral part. Our kids always come out to play with neighbors kids when not in school. I have lots of friends everywhere, our shopkeepers are our friends, gas station attendants, security guards, technicians, our workmates are all friends. I'd hate for my daughter to have no friends to play with and to just sit watching TV or on a computer all day every day. We find this very antisocial and bad for a child's development. Its is so sad and unfair but I guess its just the way life is there.

Me watching this video then realizing I haven't stepped out of my door since morning. LOL \nMy comfort zone is indoors.\nI guess majority of Nigerians aren't like me but this is my life here also.

Hi jason i am always watching your videos and make me inspired, can i ask about my status if my pr approved can i bring my common law partner? Even were nt merreid since we have a child

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this, I’ve been to 5 of our provinces and plan on visiting the rest. We live in such a beautiful and diverse country.

im followed and watched all the time i wear a prayer cap in wv

I received a Job Offer from Rural road construction,Calgary ,offering me as project head,asked me to attend the job within a month,not asked any money till now,just told to apply visa,on reimbursement,free flight ticket,meals,accommodation.\nIt also sent me Lmia papers,Appointment letter,to which i also signed.still now only written interview has been done.\nAfter watching this video i came to doubt whether this job is fake or real? !!\n!!!PLEASE REPLY TO MY COMMENT!!!

Loved this video. Am studying abroad in Europe and the social structure is miles apart from what I have been used to in Kenya. I am an introvert and love being indoors but I definitely miss the opportunity to gather with friends and strangers to watch football matches or just popping up at a friend's house to have conversations. I definitely don't want to be broiler chicken when I go back home??

No money for veterans, no help for taxpayers hurting because of government far left BS and environment, Watch Trudeau will throw billions at this. Bankrupt the country so it's easier to bring in THE GREAT RESET!!!!!!

Hi, EBM. My name is Ron from Bangkok, Thailand. I am one of the people around the world who registered for DV2023 last year. Thank you for your contents concerning how to fill the forms, how to live in America and all the lifestyle of western countries. I am looking forward to watching your next clip.?

Being an all round outdoor person, watching this only had a tough toll on me talk less of living like this for a day or two! I honestly can not!

Thank you so much!! I am looking forward to find work in Canada,, i am so inspired after watching this video. Cheers!!

I did not watch this video. However, it has come to my attention that you placed Québec as #1 on your list of best provinces; this I can not stand for. I demand you revise this list and put Québec at MOST in the number 8 spot, just above Saskatchewan. I would appreciate a hasteful mending of this HEINOUS sin. Although a complete deletion of this video essay would be adequate.\n\nSincerely, J.

THIS IS ABSOUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!!! THIS IS THE MOST ASININE CONTENT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE DIGITAL LIFE!!!!! I WAS PREVIOUSLY SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL AFTER A *MASSIVE* ACT OF FORGIVENESS AFTER WATCHING YOUR SILLY STUPID AMERICAN VIDEO BUT FOR SOMEONE TO SAY QUEBEC IS ANY GOOD AT ALL MAKES ME WANT TO TEAAAAAR MY HAIR OUT

I give stores the complete right to watch customers. After all, shrinkage of stock is not being done by cows.
