it's funny I moved to Canada a little over a year ago and I want to move back to Australia for some of the reasons you want to leave Australia and more. Housing affordability here is a pipe dream unless you like living near mountains and want a laid back life like the life in Perth, in Calgary. But Calgary's job market is not great and that pretty much extends to every province except Ontario and BC. Living cost in Canada is very high... compared to what I experienced in AU, this is more expensive than living in Sydney. (I live in Toronto but this extends to Vancouver as well.) The healthcare system is weak, inefficient and inconvenient. Bureaucracy is again very slow, inconvenient and in some cases so backwards. Banking is not great, super inconvenient, not people-centric, inefficient and very much backward imo.. work-life balance or quality of life is way better in AU. Infrastructure development is slow and not great at all for a world-class country and personally, I expected better from Toronto.. (I do understand why it is the way it is right now, some justified reasons but some not so much) Things I do give props to CA... Diversity and inclusiveness is not just marketing slogan like in AU.. I don't feel like an outsider here... Its incredible. Job market is here much better than in AU. If you're moving from a country like AU, you will feel how capitalism here is made to make more money out of you every step of the way. But also, you will see how you can use that system to make alot of money. I think Canada is a great place to live if you're an entrepreneur or business person and making money is a primary requirement. But if you're someone who loves quality of life and work-life balance and want to probably own a good house, right now CA is not there. Also this doesn't mean CA isn't great, its fantastic... but compared to AU, canada comes short in many fronts. Also I love the weather here even if we have a pretty long winter.

I run a car wash, I have never seen so many immigrants asking for work, every day they walk in, sometimes as much as a dozen a day.

After watching this video if you think that what is going on in Canada is not crazy, then take note of the fact that Trudeau government is also making it even harder for gas and oil companies, mineral extraction and even farmers to basically do their job. While Norway, Arab countries and even US are ramping oil and gas production, in Canada Trudeau is concerned more about increasing carbon tax and the rainbow flags. Honestly I'm very disappointed in this country, it's becoming worse and worse here. Prices are through the roof, housing is insanely expensive, even car prices are higher than in USA. Many people have to maintain 2 or even 3 jobs just to survive. And if you are a recent graduate or an immigrant professional, good luck finding a good job. You probably will end up in a minimum wage job that barely allows you to rent a room in someone's basement, pay for your most expensive in the world cell phone plan, expensive cars.... and wait 6 months to go see a medical specialist. If you're thinking of immigrating to Canada, better consider Europe, USA or developed countries in Asia. I was lucky because I bought property back in 2016. Now it appreciated so much that I'll probably sell and move to a different country. Hard times are ahead for Canadians, Canada is gonna become Cuba #2 very soon

Hi CanVisa Pathway. I have applied for my parents' visitor visa from inside Canada. Your video helped me a lot in managing many confusions.\nThere is one query that arises: My mother received a biometric confirmation letter while my father's profile has not received it. My mother received it just 2 days after applying, but after 3 days of it still my father hasn't received it.\nWhat should I do next? Should I raise a web form query?

I dont blame them mexico has been asking for are help but we ignore\n we send troops all over to butt in other affairs but in are own back yard we got the cartel blood bath. we in bed with the cartel otherwise these guys have created many terrorist acts on American for years. deals with china and russia.\n\nMexico government would be easy to over throw and control

The US has been thriving for centuries by the benefits of hard working immigrants who WANT to work.\nThere is so many jobs that need to be filled and people rather be homeless and beg, than make a future and an honest living for themselves!

We are all God's children. If we lived in a third world country, many of us would want to go to a better life. All I will say is; when you come and if you come, please leave your racism and prejudice against those who are here at the border. Last thing we need is to import prejudiced and racist people.

So many people making excuses for the invasion of our country! How many millions have come then more millions of gotaways. No country can sustain itself with this going on.

Wonder how many killers and rapists made it in during the rush not saying they all are but nefoirus people use events like this to get in

How many points did you get ?

Many people who come to the US get government benefits that US born citizens are denied.

This is just ONE of the many breeches occurring ? God help us all...

Dear immigrants \nAmerica is NOT what is seems. the rents are to high I’m talking about $2000 just for a 1 bedroom 1bath apartment. Homeless are taking over most neighborhoods. fentanyl is killing a whole generation of kids teens and young adults these are only a few of the many problems we are facing ,so please let AMERICA take care of its problems first \n Sincerely, a worried American

Remember when New York provided houses for the illegals? They thanked the city with using drugs, prostitution, violence, and throwing away good edible food and still demanded more. I'm for the comments here where many of us can't afford housing, struggle to buy food, and struggle in keeping our jobs. Adding this amount of mass illegals in masses at a time will speed our downfall. Traffic in neighborhoods are clogged as there's 2-3 families living in a same home designed for a family of 3-5, not 12-20 people.

The perfect place don’t exist, and Canada is one of the best place to live honestly. About homeless that’s true, but at the same time this situation generate many jobs opportunities for social workers, counselling etc in order to help this situation. I have been living here for 14 years and this is a great place to live.

We have so many homeless already they don't do nothing about, people come over and get the grants and loans we beg for so fast it's crazy

This is the people behind Biden causing this ; he certainly isn't making any decisions.\nThey made it known the border is open.\nThis has a negative impact on the US in many ways. And it's hurting many of the illegals, some will die in their journey.

Enough , we need strict emigration law !! So many unskille people come to this country !

Reality. Really. Maga right. Let's see unemployment numbers down nation wide since Trump took office. Foreclosures another all time low. Employment is up. Programs that Trump and his republican mates took away to help now not only back in firm place but helping Americans who weren't wealthy and paying for it are now successfully employed, own their homes and contribute fairly with appropriate taxes. People can't find housing??? Programs are out there for those who had foreclosure on them because of Trump's unyielding to constantly tax those not making six digits. Also our country lost over one million innocent men,women, children and infants because Trump REFUSED to acknowledge COVID. Care to speculate how many of them were republicans thinking how could I of believed him??? One father stated after burying his wife who died from it said this. We believed him then my wife of fifty years contracted it and died quickly and our kids who like us who believed him were told had this been taken seriously in the beginning it would of never become this severe. They became democrats.

America is being exploited so many different ways. There was this beautiful tree of apples people picked apples from the tree but nobody watered nobody feed nobody paid attention till they were trying to eat apples from her eventually the tree had no more cause people only took so nobody can eat from her.

Mexicans are your cheap workers that do anything for some bucks, everything you don't want to do, am I wrong? Can't understand why you don't want them. Refugees here in Germany cost 2000 dollar minimum per month, many of them don't want to work and are violent.

These people don’t realize how expensive housing in America is and how jobs are not matching the inflation rate . Even the average American is struggling with work, inflation and housing what made them think that they are gonna have it easy. They be watching too many American movies ?

Go back home we have too many

No rooms here! To many homeless as it is! USA has less land than most countries! Go there

The homeless are drugged out burn outs you wouldn’t give them a damn dollar if they asked you for one ? these people will work the lowest jobs with the worst pay that so many homeless Americans would never accept, the homeless would rather beg for money cause they’re too busy shooting up drugs ?yall act like y’all give a damn about homeless yall just don’t like immigrants and use homeless as a reason to not let them in, when was last time you gave a homeless a dollar? And when was last time you PAID a landscaper to fix your lawn? How much does a dollar cost? ?

Bro I want to come there in Canada for the position of Cashier when I see the job vacancy for the post of Cashier on the Jobbank in any food restaurant or food Mart including many other Bussinesses in Canada posted on the Jobbank at that time I feel that if I will be there as a cashier in any Bussines but now I have any sponcership Letter from any Bussines but I hope that can you do the try for me from any Bussines to give me the sponcership letter. Please please please

??‍♀️ what do they expect It’s too many when they arrived in New York a couple of months ago they trash the hotel and complaint about the food

Wow ?? it looks like all Central and South America is coming ? just to many ?

Medicare sucks! Even as a privileged white person having just moved cities not province and after 3 years and 2 cancers I still don't have access to a family doctor. Forget about any tests or diagnoses because you are told you need to have a family doctor to have access. People die of curable diseases here more than in many other developed countries. Can you see how they control medical expenses we pay for in Canada?

We got our own problems we can't just let them in... So many veterans and homeless people in our streets we need to take care of Americans first.

Stop them. They are causing so many problems in our country. Something needs to be done! NOW!

This is some bullshit they gotta stay there and work things out it's too many of these dam people

I’ve never seen so many Latin people where I’m living in my entire life . It’s out of control that their is more latin people here then my own race . It’s crazy and they don’t even speak English

We have too many immigrants fr

Go through a port of entry! Americans are barely surviving IN America! You do NOT have the right to Bum-Rush OUR country for free benefits when so many American CITIZENS are suffering under the current administration!\nGO HOME; WE HAVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS!!!!\nSorry, but you can't be America's priority when so many of our own CITIZENS ARE SUFFERING! Go the fuck home! We owe you NOTHING!!!!

Biden should be ABOLISHED he have led this free pass to live in USA a battlefield. Now I decided to be a gun owner. Too many squatters and crime in USA.

Americans did this to Venezuela americans either have to take them or make things better in their country. Americans have destroyed many countries

The US gov did rise its hand before its head ? this issue is just not something one or two country can solve ? if Biden and his fellows care ab them, why do not coporate w other countries ? we all acknowledge a sad thing that the whole country has being more pooer ? exploiting by many visible ans invisible dissaters ? why the gov solves issues half-half like that

Would we not normally describe this as an invasion? Any other country would not tolerate this and we are fools for allowing it here. We already have too many homeless to care for so why would we allow 2 million more homeless people come here? I’m willing to bet the Biden’s are affiliated with Black Rock and after his presidency, his family will benefit handsomely from the government contracts paying Black Rock to house these people with our tax dollars.

Question is: In 2023, how many out of 10 immigrants are able to earn more than $3000 per month??\nAnd at an average, for how long does an immigrant keep earning minimum wage package to start earning like $6000+ per month.\n \nPlus I don't think even if a person saves $6000 per year, they will be happy living away from their mother land. Because they spent $20-40000 just to come to Canada.

We wouldn't have this problem if Trump was still in office and yes we have homeless over here we have people we can't feed over here do you know how many military men and women are homeless but yet nobody's helping them and they fought for our country

As far as housing goes, I think they should limit how many houses they let these so-called companies by up and rent them out to derelicts and destroy neighborhoods and bring the property value down

Sad, very sad situation, unfortunately this country has too many problems that are not being solved. Secretary Of immigration Majorca says in congress that we do not have a severe immigration problem in our country, so what's this a legal crossing? What a disaster.

ABORIGINAL ?? HERE to these lands!!! The IRONY IS “MOST” CAME - INITIALLY ILLEGALLY!!!! Hispanics are “Cousins” to the Aboriginals of these lands !!! They HAVE MORE OF a right to access these lands- then those- whose Ancestors had to cross the Ocean. TELL ME IM WRONG! “MOST” aboriginals to the States are below the Poverty Line!!! TREATIES MADE MANY MOONS AGO NEED ACKNOWLEDGMENT -ONLY Aboriginals VOICES SHOULD BE HEARD!!!

Thats why american people should be vote donald trump...because only him,always think about american first....make america great again... but really when your have great leaders like him,.automatically they have many enemy wants 'kill' him in many ways...like the president kennedy...

Why are we seeing this right now? Because in 2016.. in order to demonize Trump's wall.. Dems and the media got on TV and told everyone to come. We are a nation of immigrants. Which we are. But there is a right way and an organized way. So they came. Caravan after caravan. And did just what they are doing here. Seen this many times. Your about 7 years too late reporting what's really going on there. BRAVO. You hacks.

How sad, people are fleeing their homelands because their own government can not keep them safe and give them \na better life in their homeland. It’s very sad for the innocent people that just want to have better life. I feel for the migrants . Unfortunately America is having many issues to take care own citizens. Crime and homeless is out of control in America. These migrants will most likely see a rude awakening thinking life is better in America .

Biden knows everything. Somehow White House spends so much on Trump instead of keeping away many criminals. Our country is not ready to accept illegal immigrants with our systems yet. But Biden doesn’t care .

I pray that all of them get sent back where they came from... We have so many problems of r own that need fixed... This is just ridiculous...

You know, maybe the catalyst was the 39 people killed in the fire, not to mention the crowded, dangerous conditions many face at the border. \nBut, yeah, blame Venezuelans, viewers won't know the difference.....
