Maybe look deeper into Québec before ranking it number 1, trust me there is a lot that seem in your eyes to be hidden, sure it's a nice place you can probably pay for things...if you know french that is, the gov sets rules lime Bill 96 that push anglophones into quite the trouble. I am not going to go deeper because people can't agree about politics so if you are interested do your own research\n\n\n\nYeah quite a bit of downsides

I think now you can add political situation as one of the top reasons

As sombody who left Quebec because of the disgusting taxes and poor political mentality... your ranking is a joke.

I live in a small town in Ontario with not many immigrants. I always hear people in the media or politics talking about minority groups and wonder if people from other places feel set apart. I find it a real challenge mentally to not think about it if I see someone who looks different from me…. Like it weighs on my mind, but meanwhile I just want to treat people the same… I think everyone who comes to Canada legally should feel like a part of the country. I’m tired of identity politics that separates more than brings together. It is nice to know that you feel this pressure too… I wish the media/politics would shut up so we can come together while appreciating our differences…. Instead of making people feel like they’re on the outside looking in. Hope that makes sense… I’m sure I’ll hear about it in the comments if I’m off base! ?\nLindsay in Ontario ??

How about the systematic classism of white elitists who work for/watch the cbc and vote liberal...whom only feign concern for racial minorities insofar as it advances their political objective of obstructing the tax paying working class from social ascendancy.

Canada is not a bed of roses. Don’t listen to the myths. I still think it’s a nice country. It’s my home but I do feel there are many \n\ncons. \n1) high taxes\n2)high cost of living (housing, heating etc)\n3) not much social life once you reach a certain age \n4)cold weather \n5) lots of rainy damp gloomy weather \n6)exhausted health care \n7)competition for high pay jobs \n\nPros\n\n1) I dont believe there is as much racism as in 1980’s 90’s although still exists against East Indian Arab and African people \n2) peaceful \n3)clean\n4)modern infrastructure \n5) polite but not friendly citizens\n6) lots of low paying jobs

the political climate and leaders are partly to blame. whites feel that imagrintes are wanting the change the country. on the flip side imagrints feel they are being discriminated against.both political sides are fuelling this problem to farther their political gain. racisim will never be gone.you will always be biest towards their own kind its just bioology and it does not mean we need to act on it

Complete brain drain from Punjab and India, who losing nearly half a million kids to the West. All due to mismanagement and politics in India. These kids are so hard working and the West will benefit from them greatly economically and professionally

Canadians are so polite. Sure

So, that's the price Trudeau has to pay to Jagmeet Singh for his support? Small India in Canada because the majority of this new immigration comes from India. And they are of course left leaning liberals in their political views. How great, 500,000 new voters a year to support the red prince. Taking under consideration the growing problem of homelessness and healthcare crisis, it's a great move to even further destroying Canada. Canadians will move to Hastings Street like in Vancouver to give more room to newcomers. It's not a joke. This huge number of immigrants have to live somewhere, while we have difficulties finding an apartment. How much he has to hate his own country and culture. First he destroyed our economy giving away money during pandemic and implementing Draconian measures and now “saving” the country by replacing its population.

Why not make the current (obviously vocally dissatisfied lol -read those comments!) people like you Instead of inviting people who’d merely be a guaranteed vote of the your party doing the door opening. \nOr how about training and inspiring good ethics in workmanship to the trades people I’ve come to live with, no one cares to make quality these days, everyone is just bare minimums and using it to make a buck, i weld for a living, and actually care about the work that I produce. And I believe get compensated quite well however… how is it that for someone -at the top of their field in your so desired “skilled” trades- position, can’t afford anything but your cheaply made “affordable” housing that (for someone like me) have a requirement for some garage space, not just s cookie cutter condo with a driveway… you’re taking all the possible space from current homeowners whom have desirable properties from the up and comers in the market. \n\n( Economic growth is just political pocket lining)

Any Canadian politician with ties to the World Economic Forum needs to be removed and banned from Canadian politics. Justin Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh, and Chrystia Freeland, first on the banned list. With many more WEF Canadian traitors to follow...

The country was ruined by PC, Liberals and NDP already. More immigrants? Should you guys cut off your salary to pay off the gap? We don’t pay extra tax for your political ambitions! Shall we have a new party to represent people of Canada rather than a bunch of traitors in Ottawa to sell the nation?

Disgusting populists can get bent. We need to support CANADIANS not the vulnerable of the rest of the world. We have our own vulnerable. We need to take care of them first. What you are doing is sick. You are replacing a generation of babies that weren't born due to financial genocide with foreigners that are not wanted here. Our economy doesn't need more cheap labour, it needs more well paid labour. We need the price of housing to come down and that means lower population density. If businesses can't find enough employees then boohoo, PAY MORE. Replace the minimum wage with a living wage if you want to grow our economy and population, rather than the pocketbooks of the rich while they scab off the new cheap labour and continue paying meager wages that are getting our economy nowhere but benefit them greatly. This is cultural genocide and you need to stop, NOW! You don't see us burdening India with an additional 500,000 political refugees per year, now do you? They wouldn't allow it. We shouldn't either. I am angry about it and I hate my government for being such horrible sell-outs while throwing Canadians under the bus for a business bribe. I'm never paying taxes again. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! What a s^%t hole fascist country we have become. it appears I was never appreciated and my hard work here was for some foreigner to get ahead, not me. Gotta keep those wages low and the price of housing up though, hey!? You awful idiots! I stand on guard for thee Canada and I will not allow her to be ruined for the greed of a bunch of scallywags who are selling her off to the lowest bidder for profit while they hurt everyone who lives here and wanted to see this country become great.

Who will stop this unfettered invasion by cultures that have no respect for our norms, mores, & way of life?! I live in a city neighbourhood that is immigrant central & can say confidently from immediate & personal experience that the majority here are not fleeing anything, popping from country to country to grab money & send it back home then, when they have enough, they retire back to their homeland. Most have no respect for private property nor for any of the norms of a polite society, they don't even wish to learn our language sufficiently to understand & respond. Most of my life I supported immigration but not this way, not with zero oversight. All political parties support it for the sake of getting more votes but the Liberals are the worst.

Indian have ruined the christian countries.what is modi only religion politics.

Well I already left the Canada last year after having lived for 5 years. I am in my early 30s , south asian immigrant. I had a good paying job. I left because more so because of the social isolation and the pandemic measures. Plus I feel most Canadians may seem polite , but not friendly as in - extremely hard to make friends. Ethnic groups stick to themselves and don't mix. I found dating to be extremely hard and toxic. People have high individualistic mentality and don't open up.\n\nI am now in working in Mexico / Latin America and my mental health has greatly improved. I am able to socialize and women here aren't as stuck up as in Canada. Real world interactions are valued here unlike in Canada where it's all about the apps and social media. Also who doesn't like some good consistent sunshine. Overall , I am happy to have left Canada and am not coming back.

this all is happening because Of BAD MODI POLITICS

So many excellent points\nMany of these points can be improved regionally, the biggest metropolitan cities amplify all these issues\nWe need minds like yours in politics...we are all living a rat race with way too many taxes!! \nIn the city's it's boring, out in the country we have fun being outside all seasons, the right layers and clothes help A LOT \nI'm first generation Canadian born, I'm used to all the taxes but they are brutal

Gods country is beautiful, mother earth is beautiful, the people? Some are out right frightening some really awesome. I pray to always encounter people with good intentions. #FirstNations I share this because it is another example of the kind of business Canada is still practicing. Trafficking people actually for Monetary and political purposes too ya know. Canada revenue is participating? $$ cha ching eh

Telll themmmm ✅️✅️ it's people taking advantage of people each generation in Canada. You tell them what it is really like plus no law enforcement protection equal it's like entrapment in many ways easy targets, immigrants and the children with greater exposure to influences for distraction maybe terrible coping mechanisms. How Canada is able to achieve political control over the environments. Taking advantage indeed.

The residents of Punjab state in India are completely obsessed with Canada. It’s to the extent of madness. \nIt’s not that their future was any brighter in punjab . There is a big change happening. Lack of quality education, manufacturing, jobs. Reduced political influence & other states like MP leaving Punjab behind in agriculture. \nSomebody whose future is hopeless in punjab -due to lack of skills , can’t hope to secure a bright future in Canada just by somehow “ghusing” here.

Greed and false hope especially in Punjab is making everyone's life miserable.. To top it off, dirty vote-bank politics in Canada is adding salt to injury.. Brampton will soon be unlivable due to extreme religious and ethnic practices.. God bless Canada

Dear Asher Azim Bhai,\nAssalam O Alaikum,\n.\nGood To See You After Long Time. Thanks For Very Informative Video. Need Your Valuable Guidence, As I m Planning To Leave Pakistan. U Know Economical & Political Scenarios Over Here. I m a Government servant working as Asst. Accounts Officer (BPS-16)(SCUG), Ministry Of Local Bodies Goverment Of Sindh, While My Wife Is Dental Surgeon. We Dont Have Kids At The Moment.\n.\nCan U Guide Me How I Can Plan/ Start To Switch To Canada...? Which City In Canada Has Warm/ Hot Weather....??? (As I Have Medical condition, Cant Live In Too Cold Area). \nI m 46-years old, I Have just a Bachelor Of commerce degree, Though have (12-years) of experience in current government accountancy job.

Same as New York city. Apartments way too expensive and way too small to host. Healthcare outrageously expensive as well. And yes, American politics and bias has totally brainwashed Canada.

Ppl commenting here are missing the point that chancellor apologized and educated people about Sikhism in his letter …unlike india where political parties would rather not muslim girls study than let them wear hijab …hijab is not a security threat ……talking about respecting all religion in current bjp ruled India …again majority of secular Indians need to stand up against this slow poison in India

You don't need that knife these days .... also even if you wear one on religious grounds you can try to keep it discreet or concealed ....he's brandishing it like it's a sarkari school in a small Punjab pind ... also let me add.... he's politely complying because he knows it's an American police officer arresting him and those guys shoot first ask questions later....had it been India he and his other whackjob buddies would have attacked the police with edged weapons .... one officer had his hand decapitated by one of the nihangs in India thankfully doctors of PGIMER Chandigarh were able to attach it succesfully through surgery .

Canada has beautiful nature so if you are travelling it must have. Politically. It’s a fuckin shithole where drug addicts wackos have more rights than you hard working guy paying taxes. Freaking police speed trapping like crazy. You might have an impression that police patrol is on every corner but at the same time 11pm in East Village (Calgary) girl who is working at the pizza place has to locked a door because homeless zombies on drugs are causing problems. But I guess there is no police there because there is no quick bucks to make from useless drug addicts. Fuckin tired of this woke society where logic is replaced by emotions. And these rainbow flags everywhere. Virtue signalling in its finest.

Isnt it supposed to be worn under cloth. If you would carry ka knife(in eyes of foreigners) then definitely its invitation for trouble. I live in punjab and have never seen someone wear a kirpan outside their clothing. See these are kind of people who are creating nuisance in Canada and making it tough for us to go. Thats why hate crime is increasing against ?? in Canada bcs of what i have heard, canadians are one of the post polite and friendly people.

If my Sikh brother had requested that policeman to not put handcuffs on him because he is a student and he will walk with him politely or the policeman had done his work more sincerely by understanding & listening to that kid what he was trying to say about his religion, this whole scenes will be different and could be resolved then 'n there.\nBut what's done is done can't undo it.

Yea, Trudeau and his woke politics .

I was born and raised in Canada. My family immigrated in the 70s. Growing up I was proud to be Canadian but after living in other parts of the world I can tell you, Canada isn't it! \n\nFirstly our Prime Minister is a puppet he works for the Commonwealth and whatever they say goes, they profit off all of your hard work. \nThey keep you sick so you rely on the health care system. Medicate you instead of solving the problem. Doctors are exhausted, rude and over worked, emergency rooms are a disaster and if you book an appointment to see your doctor...be sure you're waiting at least a week. If you go to a walk in clinic you risk getting a doctor that seems like they paid for a fake degree.\n\nYou know when you go to a mall in one town and then hear about a mall in another town that has really cool different things??? Ya, not here! Everything is monopolized! Same stores everywhere you go. there's a mall in Toronto called Vaughn Mills mall, when I was in Calgary they have an exact replica just a different name. Small businesses are hard to keep because everything is so expensive. There needs to be more indoor things for people to do in the winter. \n\nWhoever said Canadians are polite, has never been to Alberta!!!! I've never experienced racism in my life like I did out west, not just Alberta but also Northwest Territories and Manitoba. \n\nOn top of that they want everyone to be gay and not believe in God, they push the agenda so hard in the schools, they institutionalize and confuse your kids. If you believe anything different they literally hate you. The children are hypersexualized...teenage girls looking like they're 30 year old drag queens. They bully kids so badly in school, especially boys. Parents have no time to get involved because they're busying working multiple jobs to pay for their 4000 dollar mortgage, husband and wife barely see each other. And because they're not involved the children have no respect for their elders or teachers. the teachers don't care to get involved like they used to because everything's a liability...a problem. We had a 13 year old girl call a male teacher a pedophile for pushing a little girl on the swing. He quit on the spot, because now he's worried for his career. Kids have no shame anymore. \n\nIF YOU WANT QUALITY OVER QUANTITY (WHICH YOU MIGHT NEVER GET), DON'T COME HERE! or, Come here and send all your money home but don't educate your kids here unless you have enough money to put them in private schools and there are good private schools. If the only thing you want out of your life is freedom, freedom to just be left alone and no one hounding you...you like being alone. Then, that you can have here. \n\nIf you are from a colonized country we are all slaves to the system!

*I was hoping you could also get into why is it I’m Canada the political agenda jeans so heavily far left and his that ostracises people of other faiths and beliefs.*

True, lived there for 4 years. Canada is a well made lie to make someone else rich. I even met a rich immigrant who basically became rich because I'm sure he was doing money laundry. Also, Canadian politeness is a fake way to uncover how they actually don't care about another person; they are not nice people . Being there also made me think about this whole immigration system, it felt like a neo-slave trade, because immigration is such a gray area, and we basically have no rights to anything whatsoever, being open to be easily exploited. Not to mention psychological problems, like the Ulyssses Syndrome, that nobody talks about.

I am 5th gen Canadian and I agree with you gals. But the one thing I absolutely dislike about this country is the systemic political correctness , it is costing us our rights and more importantly our common sense. Keep telling the truth. Thanks Ladies .

it was when I came to German that I was told I am a black man. I dont like that tag black man , it is a polite way of calling you a Nigger. I am as fair as my Indian friends yet they call my black and call them Indian. this is an insult. I am not a black man, I am African man or Igbo man. god forgive these racist bigots. some Indians are as dark as africans but they are never called black.

Moving to Canada seems like a fantastic idea but it’s a trap. Immigrants are enticed into the county with all of these promises of free healthcare, freedom and entrepreneurship. It’s all a lie. high taxes to pay for “free”poor healthcare not to mention the governmental overreach and political corruption. You become enslaved. I grew up there and I never want to go back. I miss the mountains and my family… that’s it.

I would like to point out that this is a system of deteriorating politics where tax money doesn't go to maintaining fast services and they try to take most tax funds from the middle income citizens but give breaks to the 'big' business and rich people.

No one really cares about Canada. Not even Canadians. Just look at the leftist politics destroying it and they keep getting voted back in.\nIt's a shame.

I would like to laugh 7 minutes in to the video. U.S. current political and education system is attempting to push more tax to be Canada. Our Universities keep talking about Trickke Down Economics as a negative to their students. Trickle Down economics worked. Most societies unless you live in the bush will continue to be unequal because some people take advantage of opportunity while others stay where they are at in life. Who’s problem is that? We will always have an unequal distribution of wealth. Some people are smart and will live a comfortable life financially I feel we should hire University Professors based on if they can run a successful business or not. I feel we should hire politicians if they can run a successful business or not.

290.000 left the U.S because of racism and low paying jobs. the political system has lots of problems. Dr Rashad Richey makes it clear concerning the things that are really happening. many people don't feel its a good place to live any more.

When I do move abroad (hopefully soon) I pray things back home improve..especially from the political side if things..a lot of us will come back. Nigeria is a lovely country, you realise that more when you leave it

Sounds like the top priority for African countries to retain its people is politics, safety and stability.

Oh i forgot to ask. Are you aware that the middle class in Canada is richer than the US? Although Trudeau politics hit that class pretty hard

I have lived in Canada most of my life , and a few years in the US . Have to say I agree with everything these beautiful and smart Nigerian women are saying . Crazy expensive , horrible weather , high taxes etc . And fake politeness drives me crazy ! Thanks WhizQueen and Tinuola for a different perspective its refreshing to hear .

Canada government and divisive politics destroying an already fragile sense of community

Personally I would just make comments about how ignorant you both are. Understand politics. I'm sorry you are both from Russia and think war is okay.

The barrage of sick propaganda relating to the scamdemic to which we have been subjected, the damage - social, health, economic - are almost permanent, and very off-putting. I am also preparing to leave because of this as well as for the imposition of the imbecilic rules and poor, criminal political CRASS (not class) its media acolytes and its absolutely criminal, highly corrupt so called health and social services sector that is responsible for mass death and infliction of pain, and officially sanctioned theft of property.

What i understand from a lot of people I know who've come here from abroad is that for them, the attractive thing about Canada is political stability, a functioning infrastructure and a lack of massive corruption. there's some pretty disgusting countries out there :(

Hello, I studied in Europe and grow up in Canada. Born abroad.\n\n1) First, Vancouver is not Canada. Life in Eastern Canada (Quebec and Ontario) is way better. \n\n2) Weather : rain during winter is really a BC thing, the rest of the country : is SNOW and cold for 4-5 months\n\n3) Again, the cost of living is super expensive in Vancouver and Toronto. Here, in Montréal, it’s affordable.\n\n4) The more taxes you pay means you are making good money. 50% of taxes is \n\n5) Canada is beautiful, but if you don’t like our country, why did you came here in the first place ? \n\n6) Covid : Mmm it was maybe extreme, but Canada is one of the country that manages the best the pandemic in the world \n\n7) Rules ? Try coming to South America where I was born. There’s a lot more rules there and good luck for your safety \n\n8) Politic ! We are actually one of the most democratic country in the world. People fighting about politics? Ahahah I grow up here and never saw this ever and I saw the 1995 referendum.\n\n9) Status chasing is a really Vancouver thing, probably Toronto too, but the country is huge.\n\n10) Isolated place, mmm again Vancouver is not Canada. Most of the Canadian population live in East Canada where the majors cities (Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa, Québec) are. It’s true a lot of places are isolated, but it’s a choice living in those areas.
