Honestly, I don’t know how to describe and definite my experience. I came to Canada for my university education by the end of 2013 after I finished my high school in my hometown. That was my first time to go abroad, and living in a totally strange country all alone. New surroundings. New friends. New culture. English speaking. Everything is new for me, and I cannot figure out how I feel at that time, because it’s so complex. Both excited and afraid. In the next few years, I traveled among several different cities. Winnipeg. Vancouver. Toronto. I met many people and experienced lots of things. Some were good and warm, and some were not, and the worst thing was I found I cannot get used to my life in Canada. I don’t mean bad, but I still feel I’m an outsider. I cannot get in. Neither my life nor my schoolwork. So much loneliness. I left Canada and go back to my hometown by the August of 2017. There was nothing strange for me at first 2 years. Everything looks normal, but by the flying of time, I found myself cannot stop missing the old days and experience in Canada. Even the worst part looks so beautiful. I have no idea how could that happened.

Hello Joyce I'm a beautician can I get a job in Canada

Never been to US but I'd say it is at least worth visiting it as a tourist (specifically Boston or NY) but living there? Hell no ?\nPs. I've been dreaming of US/Canada before (probably watched too many old-school Hollywood movies), but few years later i realized that these countries have many political, social, healthcare and educational problems. \nAlthough I'm not a very talkative person, this country looks to me like a beautiful but empty shell

Hi Joyce Thank you for this content.. so I'm new to this program, so I wanted to upgrade my page to Standard plus.. but got stuck, What is a social insurance number and how do I get it

well, I'm different I always want to come to Canada I don't know-how, can you guys help me out, I'm from Kurdistan

I’m from Newfoundland and the weather is awesome

We applied for PR. Got invitation for my family within 10 months. Landed in GTA in 2016. Stayed there for a one month vacation became PRs. Observed many things and spoken to many of my friends while I was there. Situation was pathetic in a nutshell. Went back to continue my job in Middle East. \nFor 3 4 years I thought about what should we do. Should we move or not. \nUltimately decided to let go the PR status & not Waste my savings on this PONZY scheme. \nStill working in Middle East and in Europe, family shifted back to India purchased a premium apartment a nice car. With our foreign savings I can easily retire in India - I'm still 39!\n\nBest decision ever!!!

I guess I'll be the one to keep it real...\nWhile geographically, Canada is the most beautiful country on the planet, full stop.\nThe people are not as friendly as the stereotype would infer...housing is criminally overpriced. Taxation is laughably bad. Seriously do the math its approaching 40-45% tax. Meaning after income taxes(23-28 cents on the dollar) then you got sales taxes, excise taxes, provincial sales taxes(another 10-15 cents on the dollar, after tax income on every purchased product). The economy was not that great before trudeau, now trudeau and his bullshit have decimated our national economy and is spending Canada into generationally deep federal deficits of 100s of billions of dollars. Don't believe the hype surrounding Toronto or Calgary or Vancouver, there are catches and trade offs for every plus.\nBtw, I'm born and raised in Toronto and live in Calgary. Canada simply as not as good as the rhetoric would try and sell you

I'm now 18 years old ,I am thinking to move abroad to job sir madam according to you What should I prepare From now till 2032 ?.?

I live in a home in the suburb area of Bangkok-Thailand and also live in a condo in the heart of Bangkok, both have the same psychological vibes as you showed in the video. I don’t even know my neighbors on the same floor at my condo, I don’t usually see my neighbors at home either. I’m now too get used to with the independent lifestyle, when there are a lot of people ir communication around I usually start to get headache ?. But of course, for me the nicest thing is to take my mother with me if I have chance to live in abroad ❤️.

Basically I'm saving up to move TF out of Canada. This country is dead.

Do you have a liveincarer in Canada how to apply if I'm outside Canada

Hi madam Joyce, after applying for the job assuming i got it, what's next, please help, I'm a novice in this, thanks

Ma'am I'm very poor person and I scammed now I don't have money. Can you sponsor me please. I will pay you from my salary. Please

I understand this fully as I came to Uk as a child 60 yrs ago. .. I feel the same way today. These western countries lack sense of community and neighbourhood... and spend most of their lives in loneliness thus leading to depression. 14 years ago my father passed away and I brought his body back to India .. as he loved coming and spending his retirement years back home in India.\nI miss him so much and also have started coming to india every year since his death.I’m also retired now. \nI have come to understand how people from our countries look forward to emigrate to make a better living and earn money without realising the consequences that this will have on our lives. \nThank you so much for this video.?

I’m going through same situations

If the Muslim extremists like to try & enforce a law which is not native to England.....GET OUT!!!??\nI'm glad that not all Muslims are stupid!\nRespect to Salman Farsi

Thanks for this video! I'm a biologist with experience in biotehnology and I'm looking for jobs in Montreal. I also have a master degree in chemical engeneering and I would really appreciate some specific advice! ?

i'm support all about positive thing and those is good for us,.. mashallah.... may allah swt blessing all muslim in the world

This is SO true!!! I am American but have lived overseas in the UK and Europe. I can’t believe the difference. Living in America is so lonely! It’s isolating. It’s very sad. It didn’t used to be this way in the 40s, 50s, 60s 70s. This is a new phenomenon. Without w church family (and I’m not religious) you are literally on your own - and that’s as an American! I can’t believe what it would be like being a refugee or an immigrant. Depression is high and largely due to isolation.

If this is true, this isn't Islamic behaviour so I'm not for it at all rather against it.

In my family, we make more than 5x what our parents did, yet they own a home and we never will. I'm with the kid, LAUGHING at the insanity of the housing market. There's also plenty of homes available... my friends own 5-10 houses between them and rent them all out for example. Because the system made it trivial to do so with HELOCs on invisible money.

Why do you think that western society is so peaceful and prosperous? Maybe it's because capitalism depends upon individual innovation. It might be true that Africa has less loneliness but the social order in Africa is tribal, not capitalism which is why Africa as a whole is poor. Many people from Africa are talented and hard-working but the society in Africa or other collectivist societies doesn't reward that individual strength. I wouldn't call it loneliness, it's more like privacy and individualism and it's the reason why the US/Canada doesn't have a problem with overpopulation or violent radicalism. On the whole, I'm incredibly grateful to have been born in America.

I’m Canadian and I agree it’s a lonely place. Depressing. I left

Thanks for the video, I'm a fresh graduate civil engineer from Lebanon looking for a job in canada, I'm french educated and I speak both english and french. Do you know any recruiting agency that can help me find a job there?

Hapiness is inside of u. I m. Happy in Perú alone n for sure I d be in Canadá or Usa. My sister lives in Usa. It was her dream always living in Usa n she miss her place there when she come 1 month to Perú for vacations. It s true where I m is my paradise or my hell... I pick up.\nI choose where I m is my paradise. :)

Is it because of Covid ? I'm from India, Its very strange ,looks like its an abandoned area, absolutely no life , no dogs, birds even trees are depressed , India Is a heaven then . I don't need only money , I got to live a life ... forget USA.

It's happening in nations like India too, just that we're way more populated than US. However, you could be alone in a crowd! I'd like to come to US again because hard work isn't too appreciated here. Plus, I'm depressed. Last time I was depressed 18 years back, coming to US healed me. So yeah, I'd try my best for Canada/US.

He is still handsome, so he should be in the top position. That's what we deserve in our society.. by the way I'm from India. Thanks

I’m from India and i like this clean and lonely environment

I’m 34 been workin since I was 14 and I will never be able own a house in this country because of the liberal spending .. this guy has spent more Canadian tax dollars then all PMs of Canada together… we will never own a house with this hypocrite

He just told you what one problem is. Immigration. Immigration has continued but house building can't keep up. They should have acted years ago but all the foreign money being brought in to the big cities has put them out of reach. That's only the tip of the iceberg. We need immigration but what numbers I'm not sure?? Maybe the answer is tradesmen to catch up on the building trades and bring costs down? The biggest problem though is the deficit financing leading to inflation. Like father like son...maybe the answer is think before you vote.

Not sure how I came upon this video but I'm American that's lived here all my life. It's so incredibly lonely, even as an American. I wish I could find people that want to have friendships and community. People like me are out there looking for friends and would gladly welcome immigrants!

I’m a Word Salad Wizard!

Don't worry yougins Trudeau and The World Economic Forum will make sure you're happy... I'm mean, you'll own nothing but they say that's the key to happiness!? You wanna live in squaller and find out!

I'm born and raised in the United States and I wonder the same thing. I thought I was the only one that wanted to just meet up randomly and hangout.

I'm from Kolkata, hubby is Australian, living in Perth since 16 years, we have two kids It took me few years to adjust to the culture.

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.

I'm legit surprised he didn't blame the housing crisis on the unvaccinated

I'm surprised he hasn't blamed the previous prime minister for the housing problem

This is not how life is in Virginia, where I'm from.

Beautiful video!! Very impressive and informative about the American Way of Life. I'm Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro, so and I can understand your perspective about loneliness, so far away from the african way of living and dealing with each other.

I'm a native English speaker who moved from another province to Quebec 20 years ago... my French is still not perfect but my family and I are quite happy here :-)
