Internayionally registered nurse here but moving in Canada and work as a nurse is worst. They will require u a lot assessments and ask to go back to school.In other countries except Cañada u just pass there exam and u can practice ur profession right away like US and European countries

Even the sioux with sitting bull prefered to go to us reserve rather to stay in Canada.

Thanks for making this video. After nearly 13 years as of Jan 1st 2022, I'll be leaving Canada on a one-way ticket; not to my country of origin, but further into new ventures.\n\nIt's been a slog to become a citizen and try and make life work here. It's a good place to be successful financially if you make sound choices, and then to live a fairly quiet, isolated life. If all you want is to live within your own ethnic community and have a better quality of life, it's a good place.\n\nUnfortunately, it's never had enough culture or meaning for me. Life feels pretty empty no matter how much money you make. The national identity being based around home-ownership feels extremely depressing to me.\n\nAnd you're both on point about the reserved, passive-aggressive nature of Canadians. I've become like that too now. It's pretty obvious that it costs us dearly; people are unable to be genuinely warm, to take risks and form real friendships. Everything feels surface-level because no one risks taking the steps that might even be a bit of intrusion into each other's lives that is the signal of the start of a close friendship. I'm sick of the surface relationships I've had here.\n\nAnd the wholesale import of U.S. narratives with complete ignorance of our own realities. Most Canadians think they live in the U.S. and seem unable to name a single important issue in their own province or country. I truly came to see the Canadians as a colonized people who refuse to truly admit that they are colonized behind a thin veneer of insecurity posing as a virtue-superiority complex.\n\nI sound harsh but it's the outpouring of someone who's fallen in and out of love with his country.\n\nI don't know what I will find on the other side, but it's going to be different and I honestly can't wait.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE COMING TO CANADA ! PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY HAVE A PHD,THEY ARE DOCTORS,DENTISTS AND THEY WILL START RIGHT AWAY WORKING..\nIN THE HEALTH CARE SIDE,PEOPLE WILL BE ACCEPTED RIGHT AWAY IF THEY CAN'T FIND A CANADIAN PERSON THAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR...I KNOW CASES WHERE THEY\nCAN'T FIND A SPECIALIST THEY WERE LOOKING FOR AND THEY HIRED SOMEONE FROM FRANCE...YOU ARE RIGHT WHEN YOU SAY THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT INTERESTED\nIN GOING BACK TO UNIVERSITY.SMART PEOPLE GO BACK TO UNIVERSITY AND THEY DO WELL.MY COUSIN WAS A DOCTOR IN MY COUNTRY WHERE SHE IS PAID ABOUT\n$700 PER MONTH DECIDED TO GO BACK TO UNIVERSITY.NOW,SHE IS EARNING AROUND $25 000 PER MONTH..THERE ARE A LOTS OF DOCTORS IN MY COUNTRY AND IF\nGET SICK OVERTHERE I WIL PREFER TO BUY A TICKET AND FLY TO FRANCE INSTEAD OF SEEING A DOCTOR THERE...BEFORE YOU MOVE TO CANADA,DO YOUR HOMEWORK..\nTHE OTHER IS THAT A LOTS OF PEOPLE THINK THAT WHEN THEY ARE HERE IN CANADA THEY WILL FIND THE SAME WAY OF LIFE LIKE THEIR COUNTRY ?????\nAS THEY SAY ,WHEN YOU GO TO ROME,DO LIKE ROMANS...YOU GO TO CHINA,TO JAPAN,TO RUSSIA,TO US ,IT'S UP TO YOU TO ADAPT TO THE MAJORITY AND NOT THE\nOTHER WAY..WHEN I CAME HERE,I KNEW THAT I HAD TO ADAPT TO THE CANADIAN WAY OF LIFE AND I MADE IT..I WAS LUCKY TO STUDY IN A CANADIAN UNIVERSITY\nAND I WAS CONSIDERED LIKE A TRUE CANADIAN...I MET AND KNEW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OF ALL WAYS OF LIFE LIKE :MINISTERS,JUDGES,LAWYERS,DOCTORS,\nTEACHERS AND YOU NAME IT...

Put your trust in JESUS all the misfortune will go away. GOD made a beautiful world for Us, if any one have Love, kindness, prayer, \nPractice acts of kindness. It doesn't matter much where you live, you will be the most happiest person, Trust in JESUS you and your family will Saved. No one deserves God's kindness but God is good all the time❤️GOD bless you all❤️

Nice summary of the main challenges. Reading some of these comments leads me to believe that if one is motivated solely by money, Canada is not a great choice for you as an immigrant. The number of commenters hoping to move to the US from Canada due to greater opportunities to make money while ignoring the real and substantial disadvantages of living south of the borders just emphasizes this. My family are immigrants from the US and we didn’t face the same challenges as immigrants from countries further afield but I do understand the differences between the two countries very well and can state unequivocally that moving to Canada was the best decision our family made. Lower crime, better health care (yes even with the wait times), a fairer system and a “boring” but sane political system more than compensate for the few extra dollars I would make south of the border. In terms of where better prospects going forward for children and grandchildren, with the looming threat of climate change, Canada wins hands down. Extra income means little if you have to spend all of it on personal security and health care deductibles. So if you are only motivated by top line items like gross annual salary, Canada might not be for you and you would be better off looking elsewhere and leaving that immigration spot open to someone who can appreciate the more balanced offering that a new life and future in Canada can offer.

GO to the US of A! There are better opportunities even for canadians!

I never ever wanted to moved to America. Had to moved because of family and entered the country at an age of 12. Didn’t do anything but still got the US citizenship cause only my earthly parents had to passed the thingy.. I guess whatever God gives.. you just get it. Whatever God does not give. You can never ever get what He does not want to give you ? Well, as a Christian, I just go where God loves me to go and live the way God likes me to live ?

Can anyone tell me which is best PNP , for us \nMy husband is 32 he will be primarily applicant, \nWe dun have any relatives in Canada , \nWe both are master degree holder , he network engineer, \nWith 3 year experience my husband, \nIelts is not yet given , \nWhat pnp programme we should go ? \nWe dun have any job offer

I'm half Japanese and Australian.\nSpeak, read and write English and Japanese.\nOne night I was out with a few Japanese cousin's and mates, out of the blue two white guys started having a go at us for speaking Japanese and that we're in a country where English is spoken so we should be speaking English only.\nMy cousin's and mates ignored them, so did I til they said I'm a traitor to my skin colour.\nI had it, we got into a fist fight, two against one\nFast forward, both got sent to the ER.\nLater on found out one of them is living Ina wheelchair with a tube hooked up to his throat, the other was in the looney hut\nFast forward to now, both committed suicide

I laugh at these monias ...our ancestors helped them when they came here and then they have the nerve to tell us to go back to our country. Delusions of grandeur..

I dont think it is a good decision to move to canada or any other western country. Western countries are worst than our country. Atleast you freely pray salah unlike us who are scared to go to masjid. I will move back to pakistan soon Inshallah

US is better but I am going to canada

If all Indians go back to India,\nthem US's economy will decline very fast

hi guys you are really amazing ...kindly go for WES detail video and one more thing i am 37 years and having C1D us visa ...these type of things can help me ..plz help me

the guy wanted to go to Canada but didnt even speak English, after having lived years in the US...

If you really wanted a better life for your family, at least do it legally! A lot of us go through the trouble of paying fees and passing documents just to enter Canada legally and you just popped out of nowhere and seaked asylum? Sir you had already been given the Deportation notice! As if they’re gonna hand you your Permanent Resident visa to you immediately? That is sooo unfair! ?You lost all chances to have a better life in the US and Canada.\nI don’t have any sympathy for him nor any illegal Immigrants

Well, I doesn't take a genius to figure out, that, countries who have it well off due to many reasons, will continue to have immigrants pooring in, it won't stop, why? Well because the world turned its back on alot of countries who are suffering due to massive corruption, socialism, communism and nobody is helping these countries. So naturally those people will flood to other countries. Nobody helps these people retake their homeland.\n\nEven my country, was captured by communist radicals, in 30 years we went from 1st world to 3rd world ghetto. The government is among the most corrupt in the world and are all rubbing shoulders with other dictators of other nations who In turn make their peoples lives hell. Naturally people in my country left in droves too, and continue to do so, because the media is not showing the world what's going on here, nor does anybody really care. What country you may wonder? A hint, Musk comes from there, he left behcause there was no hope for oppertunity, even if it's not his reason, it's just the only reason anybody actually leaves.\n\nWe too wanna retake our home from these bigoted radicals, but they hold all the cards. And nobody from the UN will even help us or any other country for that matter because they have their own problems. Problems they wouldn't have really had if they actually helped out in the world. So basically everyone is shooting themselves in the foot because their doing nothing, and their actions to fix it are actually the cause of the problem.

Hope none of us have to see our children go throught that

I'm a canadian I lovw to travel but I don't want to go in US. It's too similar and very expansive.

You’ve been in an English speaking country for awhile. So why do you need to communicate via Spanish? You should’ve learned the language by now. That’s the biggest thing, if you want to be a American or Canadian then learn the language. \n\nI’m Latin and my father n uncles hated going places in the US and another Latin would speak Spanish to them. Even though they could speak Spanish they said this is America speak English. \n\nNot all minorities like seeing people coming into the country illegally or by trying to use asylum when they have no claim. If it’s hard in your country don’t have kids, try to immigrate legally to a country!

Justin Trudeau seriously caused a huge immigration issue of Mexicans and south americans coming to our country. Like dude I was born in Canada and my parents are immigrints who came legally so I can tell you my side. A non biast side. Since I live and work here I can tell u most people of colour r welcoming, however most people who are here and have trouble finding work dont wanna see more people come and make it harder like texas and arizonia. They dont wanna have a min standard and have a reguee take their job at a quarter of what ur asking. What Justin Trudeau did was really stupid IMO. U opened the door to millions of reguees. This causing a issue more for USA, so they jump 2 international borders. My personal view is lets stip immigration. CLose the border. WE gotta take care of who we have here already. I am sick and tired of seeing people not being able to get a job here, and adding more workers with less standards is not the answer for us. This guy automatically thought we would let him in? Seriously nothing is free and promised in this world. Thus sir please go back to Mexico. You will be fine there

So an illegal alien to the US because hes lazy and wanted to be babied....same mentality with Canada...hes complaining about the cost of the lawyer..go back home and cry about being mistreated over there. Ridiculous

Well, you are lucky you can go to the US to drown out all of your problems, in Iraq the healthcare is bad, the education system is bad (especially in public school where kids get hit.) and the people are not nice. The only people who are kind are in Iraqi Kurdistan! Oh, yea I have depression and I am only 11 (my parents think it is not serious.) I used to live in the US, but the Iraq government paid for my dads college, so we had to go back. I am also suicidal, I might commit suicide soon. I am also Muslim. I hope you people live a good life.

Thanks bro for motivate us .. Best wishes to you and best of luck for the future .. keep going keep helping ..

woo man us is racist i will never go to a country like that,

Why all Asians want to go US& Canada?

This is why I don’t associate with POC because Asians and south Asians only say us POC need to stand together when they experience racism. A lot of them do this and then forget about it and go back to their anti black ways. For the ones that are against this I salute you! Continue to call out their behaviour and educate them

This Immigrant Left the U.S. To Seek Asylum In Canada And Regrets It... ok but well they all regret it? This might not be a bad idea for someone, well in his case he is separated from his child but damn. It would be just so perfect get into the US while air plane tickets cost less, over stay your welcome lol, and then get out of America even though Trump is no longer President because America is always going to be crazy and then stay in Canada. Really if they are fling they should just go to Canada.

Toronto Victoria. Is not the cowboys and Indians played in Alberta. Don't get me wrong it's a few bad seed that rot a garden. But like Rory said at the end and said it with a smile. Was I did it to fit in. Look at Alberta premiers. Making laws to stop us from protesting on our land. Or Alberta government when idle no more started. -30 outside and if you wore a facemask you arrested for hiding your face. But that law only come Into play if you ain't the white colour. Some people ain't lucky to know there culture but labled from birth. Elementary to couple years ago. I hate going home to visit family but yet still proud to say I'm from Alberta and Edmonton will always be home. Only knowing hate that's expressed and taught at a young age. You ain't right unless your white

Hi Sir, I need your little advice. Plz if you can just redirect me. I have around 16 yrs of IT Exp and i am currently working in US as Delivery Manager with one of the biggest Indian MNC. I am 39, hence CRS score seems to be difficult. I can move to Canada from my present Employer in ICT Visa (NOC 0213) but want to explore which PNP would suit my case to have clear pathway for PR. Please if you can just hint me, i will go through the entire details on their website

Unlike in the US, Canadian kids can go to school without worrying about being shot

Hi, this is very informative. Thanks a lot for helping people like us . I have just started the process and have evaluated my education through WES. I am confused as what should be my next step should I be giving IELTS first and then apply for PNP or should I go for PNP first and side by side apply for IELTS

I make it a habit that if I see someone has dropped something accidentally or I see someone struggling with something I always try to help no matter who it is it's just my nature I also smile at anyone I pass but I'm sorry there has been a lot of times I've done one of these things for a Muslim woman or man and 9 times out of ten I never get a thank you or a smile or anything in return in fact I've had nasty looks some times just for being polite and kind there are the very rare exceptions but generally I get nastiness in return I'm not going to stop doing these things cause I enjoy making others happy even if I sometimes get a negative response but these people don't make it easy to like them when they so often look down on us

Wow another white bashing program.... thats new. How about you go to an African country or Asian country and see if they still talk better to whites than blacks!?? We just naturally preference our own skin not intentionally, its just for thousands of years we've not been multicultural, an then all of a sudden our governments want us to all become multicultural and expect us all to suddenly be like brother an sisters?

Hi Jason - our score is 457 , seems like we have to go ahead with provincial nomination. I am marketing , while my wife is working in HR. Kindly guide us.

We have to stop pointing at races, colors, nationality, religion for reparation ... we need to focus on the real issue ... you have big corporation getting out of control, billionaire now becoming trillionaire. That is crazy knowing that a lot of us are stuck at the bottom and real estate is getting unattainable, some part of the world people don't even get clean water ... wealth distribution is terrible and is getting worst every months. There's a need for a reset button, it's okay that you make money and that some go to your kids but there should be a limit of how much wealth one group of people should be able to get. Government aren't the solution because people in power there are put in place by the same group that need to be corrected ...

The extremists will take over. They are trying to outbreed us and take over each nation 1 at a time. Watch the U.S. be next... Its a shame that its been allowed to go this far.

Canadian government, can u make all filipinos go home and lets see how ur country stand without us in ur country because if u can't respect as filipino in ur country u should do all the in here i think there are too many filipinos in canada and if we leave this canada because of this issue because the president of the phillipines will heard about this ur country's economy is in grave danger plus phillipines will cut all the ties with canada and it will make ur economy crippled and i know canada doesn't want to get blame for the reason of phillipines braking ties with western civilization and join china and russia.

Going to get a lot more refugees from the US if Trump wins again, and they will be documented Americans.

And don't forget to mention the US have much more crime than in Canada. Canadians don't say aboot we say about just like the everyone it's like saying the American's talk Texan or from Alabama can't go to NY city and say howdy partner!

I live in the US too. I just say, wherever I get paid more, I would go. Doesn’t matter what country. India or Canada, both have their own merits.

Come visit Province of Quebec! Montréal, Quebec City but you should also go visit the giant dams far north, which most of us haven't done.

This is wrong thinking we all need to pull our money out of usa banks and go back to our countries cause revolutions to make them better than here so we can all live a better racist and stress free life and give tourist from here the same medicine as they gave us here see how they like it. is time to stand up as Latinos and pick up our balls or else we always gonna be view as dumb asses and outsiders.

If he regrets coming to Canada go back to the country he fled from I'm sure it's much better there or you can try the US again and get locked up and sent back anyway.

I'm an immigrant from El Salvador, I got in Canada with refugee status. I'm not rich or have a wealthy family. I have lived in both US and Canada, I have been in Canada for a long time now and would never go to the US. I also live in Edmonton and it is not even close to anything like they say it is. For them to say it's cold why would you stay. I say it's better than getting framed by corrupt cops.

People don’t understand the reasons why people flee their home countries in the first place. They’re seeking refuge from public threats that their governments have failed countless time to crack down on. My grandparents and my own mother came here from Mexico illegally, but they eventually became naturalized US citizens through hard work, hope and determination. They left because of the rampant crime and violence taking place in the streets of Monterrey, Nuevo León. I was born here in this country in 2003, by sheer fortune alone. But that couldn’t have been possible if my family didn’t sacrifice all they had, just to be able to feel safe. It’s not lack of security, it’s lack of compassion and being able to understand what other humans go through. Fear-mongering and generalization of a certain group is atrocious, and should by no means be tolerated. Only through fair evaluation and hard work should a person be judged.

Why was this guy hiding in Buffalo? Was the US going to deport him? So he is lucky to be in Canada. Obviously, he did not immigrate from El Salvador because of personal fear but to take advantage of the money he could make in the US. That is not a good enough reason to be allowed into the US or Canada. Sorry, we can not support everyone in the whole world. If your country is bad stay there and fix it.

I’ve lived on both sides of the border (New York and Ottawa/Gatineau). I am white. And I’ve been pulled over on both sides wile I was driving and wile a black person was driving. I’ve seen scary difference between the interactions with the police. Though the US cops are a little more harsh to the black people the Canadians ones weren’t much better. If you deny that is happening in Canada your wrong. If you deny it’s happening in the US your wrong. It happens no matter what side of that imaginary line on. Be the change you wanna see. If your white use your privilege to promote change. And for everyone, go to protest (safety there is still a pandemic going on), sign petitions, vote and get involved with government. Both sides of the border have the chance to make things right, act now!
