As someone who is born and raised in Quebec (Montreal area), Saskatoon caught my eyes lately. I feel like the city is calling me so for anyone who live there, can y'all tell me more about it? Thank you ??

How can someone get points in valid job offer ❓

Wow! look like Justin Trudeau find a way to BLAME someone! For his mistakes THE LAST 2 years!! closing down the country!! On the truckers 2 weeks. No truckers! No food / supplies. But he does not care. If he did care about the people? Why he does not pick up the PHONE and call them!! Maybe on his eyes they are slaves china way. This is how the democratic = socialism = communist think!! Its never the government fold!! ..

Before calling anyone racist ask your self this question. How many people get scammed every year every month every day by someone that has a Hindu accent? People is afraid now when making a phone call to any business and a person with a Hindu accent answers. Now think of how many good people out here that have an accent in their English get the short end of the stick.

Let me tell you something from my own experience, and at 82 y.o. a have plenty of it. If someone chooses a country into which to emigrate, he or she makes a choice to accept the conditions and adjusts to them. Canada is not a place to baby disgruntled outsiders, but gives them a chance to become Canadian. If you expect anything different, you don't deserve that chance. \nI was born in Vienna, Austria, emigrated with my girl friend to New Zealand, got married there and created two new little Kiwis, and after 5 years we packed up our family and relocated to California, where we brought up our son and daughter as Americans. We'll never forget our Austrian heritage, and are forever thankful to the friendly Kiwis for the start in life they gave us. But, once we decided to move to the US, we accepted the life style of our new neighbors and tried to fit into their society as well as we could. When we reached retirement age, we bought a modest home in Oregon, where we still live now and proudly fly the US flag on appropriate occasions. For the privilege of choosing your country, you better show your gratitude and your worth.

as someone who works for 150$ a month in a country where an asian car with 200000km from 2009 costs 8000$ rent is for 150$ a month (must pay 12 months in advance at first etc) .. Canada is a safe haven comparing to the nightmare we have here lol

Hey, i'm masters in chemistry, someone told that teaching experience is of no use in case i want to applyPR from India..is that true? \n\nDo i really need industrial experience for this? \nPlease please answer

Wow - she just wiped Quebec right off the map of Canada with a single statement. Incredible, but I guess there's no point teaching history and geography to someone who clearly knows everything and who cares if a *fifth* of your country chooses to speak another language 90% of the time ;)\n\nWe have our share of Karens here in Oz but I had hoped that Canada was a more educated, civilised society. I get that these people don't represent the majority, but its the loud voices that focus people's attention, sadly. As for the feeble attempts of her 'man' to defuse the situation, don't give up your day job amigo.

oh my. I am planning to immigrate to Canada after 7 months and I'm about to finish my college. everybody I met so far says it better to immigrate to Canada but I wanted to hear the pov of someone who doesn't recommend it.\n\nI'm just a 23 years old what do you think? especially that I'm running away from my family, which means staying in Canada will be my only choice there will be no turning back. IF I actually did run off to Canada\n\nis it worth the shot? I'm literally broke btw

Why would we tolerate the way the government allows these people to speak there own language and walk around like they own the place what would we have to do if we lived in Afghanistan?conform and become one of them that's what, yet they walk around Canada's streets and restaurants rudely speaking their language loudly and making no attempt to conform ,if your in someone else's country you should at least try to be aware of their ways and respect them.if you don't want to conform then stay in ur own country.

as someone who lives in the greater toronto area i think it’s really great here the only thing is that house prices are insane

Why do people not do their research before they leave their country? If someone is smart enough to be a doctor in their country of origin, you'd think they'd be smart enough to research what Canada's prerequisites are, and make sure they're taking those steps. Being a nurse in one country is equivalent to being a lab tech in Canada. So as a patient, I don't want a lab tech taking care of my loved ones in hospital.

There's a form of discrimination that's rarely talked about but is certainly there - how physically attractive someone is. One of the problems with this, of course, is it's subjective but there are certainly some generalities like being considered pretty or handsome versus mediocre or unattractive. There's also body composition - slender vs not. How do these things have an effect on getting hired or finding an apartment. It may not be as significant but would it also affect shopping in how a person is treated, even if they aren't being closely monitored for theft.\n\nThen there's age-ism.

Many leave their own country, and come to Canada BECAUSE of their dislikes; extremism, culture, religion, laws, identity and in some cases backwards thinking; attempt to turn what we in society would consider as sexist, and discriminatory in some examples….\n\n…however when those same individuals finally achieve citizenship, or in some cases this starts (attempt to change Canadian law(s)) before obtaining citizenship, making moves to force the above, everything they despised, hated or disliked about their own country, into this new country ? Its like, the expectation is that we assimilate to them, not that they assimilate to their new chosen country??\n\nIt appears in some cases, going as far as attempting to rationalize why the the very thing they left their own country for, should now be a part of or have a place in Canadian society….where in any place in the World does this happen? Would it happen? Can you imagine, if I were a guest in someone else’s home, being invited over for dinner, but they had rules…like taking off your shoes when entering their home…or demanded they change their menu that they worked hard making for me to eat..or that I do not put my feet up in the coffee table or furniture…but I said, screw that, I don’t agree with their rules..I’m just going to do what I want! What would be the outcome do you think if I were to disrespect their rules?\n\nWhen Canadians have the audacity to say NO, we’re not interested in adopting …the rules/laws of the country they just abandoned…we’re now somehow insulted, or angered the guest? …the same Canada that has welcomed, provided safety, roof over their heads, food on the table, an education for their children, and provided access to our medical (albeit far from perfect) infrastructure.\n\nTo stomp their feet, bang their fist on the table when discovered that it’s expected to take four years of your life to become a doctor (which btw if you’re smart enough to become a doctor, you should be smart enough to of researched the expectations, PRIOR to coming to Canada) in the Country that YOU have chosen to spend the rest of their lives in, to have to work in a job to help support you and your families transitions,…imho, is NOT an unreasonable ask….that 4-5 years of their next 40-50+ ? Well, if that is considered a hardship, then maybe they need to rethink their intent. Maybe, the grass WAS greener in their former Country?!! \n\nI think to expect or demand to just step into or handed on a silver platter all the goodies without having to except to take the not so good…is imho ignorant, arrogant and selfish.\n\nEven with our flaws, Canada is one of the best places to live on the planet. It’s takes hard work, investment and community to make/keep Canada

As someone who lived In Manitoba my whole life I can agree

wym lol . people leave to come in here . firsttime i heard someone want to leave canada lol

This is very sad !! People are feeling hurt, unless if someone is stealing, or miss behaving in the store, I can understand that.

My rule of thumb when asking if someone needs help is: look for the signs. Do they seem to be staring confused? Furrowed or confused brows? Are they looking around not specifically around themselves or do they look like they are looking down isles like they're looking for someone or something particular? Then ask if they need help.

The Liberals see immigrants as a significant source of votes. With record debt and an already strained health and education systems, not to mention housing prices hitting the stratosphere in major cities, a rational discussion should be taking place re Canada's immigration strategy. I can't imagine how daunting it must be for someone coming here. Yes, Canada is still one of the greatest countries in the world, but that doesn't mean we don't have challenges. Thanks for raising these very real issues!

I wish someone would explain the possibility of international marriage. I like to marry a foreigner, but not for her passport. \nWish I knew if Canada can give me a better dating life. A serious relationship with a foreigner (she must not have Canadian passport, but I don't either, so will any girl like me there)\nI think girls there will dump me to be with Canadians and I will be as alone as I always was.\n\nI'm studying abroad for 16 years now, kept myself away from my country with student visa so far. \n\nIf I can't date, I don't care about taxes, insurance, weather, tech, santa...

Well, not expected of Brut. Seriously? They are steeping so low to publish one sided version?\n\nBrut had few hiccups. But this is a new low. If the person is unlawful, plz do file a formal complaint. But to use videos of this sort is discredit someone without giving him a opportunity to explain is not fair.

Things Canadians love - being mocked accurately by people from other countries (it's just exciting that someone knows enough about us to make the jokes good).

Salam and Good PM, could you please let me know that if we apply for immigration through agents, then it’ll be ok or you will suggest someone by whom we may submit our case? Normally it’s a thinking thy agents take money from people and run away etc… kindly guide us how to apply… JazzakALLAH khair

Finally someone made a divine pun using Nunavut and “none of it.”\n\nBless you three ❤️

Ahh a typical Government Employee in India\nOverpaid and under achiever getting his job either due to either a caste based reservation or his daddy was someone or daddy had lots of money

In Australia I had someone guess that I was Canadian. He said afterward that he based that on his experience that Canadians tended to be offended by being mistaken for Americans, but Americans didn't seem to mind being mistaken for Canadians.\nA couple of days later I mentioned that to a Canadian. He was a little surprised and told me that it would never occur to him to be bothered by that. I asked why not and he reminded me that Canada had over 30 million people while the Untied States had over 300 million. It's not personal. If you honestly have no idea and are just rolling the dice with your answer then your odds of being right are ten times higher if you guess Untied States.

What is the moose - Pantene joke? Can someone please help ?

Listen to all the Canadians grabbing their poutine and getting really excited someone made a sketch aboot them :)

I met someone from Newfoundland once and I refused to believe he wasn't Irish until he showed me his passport!

Hello France here! Someone for the joke with panten pro v, please.

Can someone explain the moose joke?

Sorry but in America, i have seen some videos where always someone irked others and when they start arguing they blame that look how they r being mean to me

Their is a reason to everything and even his anger you cannot judge someone on the basis of a small clip of him.. maybe she's being polite just for the video and was rude before that.. anything can be true!

Yeah right showing one side of story a 1 minute video without investigating anything destroying someone's career. This is exactly what is called media trial and media has stooped to this level they have erased the word investigative journalism from their dictionary.

Please someone explain the reason for his outburst??

There is very less context of why he was behaving like that\nNewer days it is pretty fucking easy to make a video and run someone's life , how the hell does this clip have no context whatsoever

Sahir sahib u are very smart person and I have lots of respect of u but u are guiding the people to financial destruction, best is leave the job to its professionals and on the other hand do by urself some professional job because like u make the fence, or deck that might be just wastage of money because that might be garbage anyway if u want to sell the house, yes ur idea of network is best, working of wife and all family should work, more professional in the house, more money u can make, yes right path to succeed is very important, if someone stuck in wrong path it costs a lot to change path again. Anyhow all of ur suggestions are very good.

What garbage. Attributing why someone has it tough has nothing to do with the colour of your skin. Lack of personal responsibility, self accountability and the content of your character is all it comes down to. Give me a break. Enough with the victim hood narrative. Marxism sucks.

Someone compliments you on your hair...that's racist! WTF! One speaks his minds when in disagreement...you're a troll...DOUBLE WTF! STOP BEING SO SELF CONSCIOUS...ACCEPT THINGS FOR WHAT THE ARE, and stop interpreting things based on your own insecurities. DONT POISON THE WORLD with your negatively-shaped feelings.

I have thought this at least 1 million times but 1 million time my mind replied to me, ''Why to go in a country of crooked minded people and lawless state where Policemen are thieves, army men are politicians, politicians are lawless and religious people are sellable & they promote extremism in mosques everywhere in Pakistan, rich are tax-offenders and poor are crushed in poverty. In other words, stones are fastened but dogs are at large''. Someone please do translation my all above words in Urdu and explain to overseas emotional Pakistanis not to think emotionally and do not make wrong decision of their lives. \nFact of the matter is that both doctors are over-exaggerations. It is easy to act on Islam in Europe than in the so-called Medina state or Islamic state of Pakistan. These couple are saying that in UK Schools, they teach about gayism? no, no , no....... they teach them how to be tolerant with them. In schools they teach them how to respect the other faiths and their traditions and do not bad-mouth them the way your society bad-mouth other faiths in their mosques and the social medias. Have not you seen what you guys do with the most vulnerable people, called HIJRAS in Pakistan??? Is is Islamic? You use them for sex, abuse then and look down upon them in Pakistan. Islamic values?????????????huh! Is it Pakistani Islam or real Islam. Real Islam is much bigger than the narrow-minded Pakistani mentality. In the UK, In Hospitals they (European countries) do not hire SAFAARISHEE DOCTORS and their doctors do not strike for money and kill hundreds of patients and do not shoot to police during protests..... Islamic values??????? huh!!. In Europe, They do not patronize your faith, they do not define your faith calling which sect is Muslim and who is not and they let you groom according to your talent in every walk of life. This is called Islamic values. They only dislikes when Muslims try to mess their system and they want their Governments to act like they are Islamic states. I think Pakistan is a really a sickening state, not made for poor but for Nawaabs, rich army men and bureaucrats. Let crocked minded people stay there because this system suits them. When these doctors will be screwed up by Pakistani system of corruption; guess what: THEY WILL RUN AWAY & BACK TO England. Both are Crazy doctors, they are talking like Pakistani politicians now... Islamic values in Pakistan?????????????ridiculous. When they will see TLP goons breaking cars of people, when you will see ambulances stopped from going to hospital, when they will see innocent killings of minorities, when yo both will see discrimination in the name of faith and race in Pakistan and when they will see bribery in every walk of life, they will change their mind. I think acting upon Islam is far easier to follow in England than in Pakistan and its screwed up/lawless system. It is very nice to hear Dr JAVED sb, sugar-coating Pakistan and its so-called Islamic values. Dr sb, Take interview of this lovely couple after two year when they go back to Pakistan and their views will be different. In two years they will be thinking how and when to pack up and kick off from Pakistan which is a breeding land of terrorism, where water is expensive than blood of a poor person.

As someone who lives in Manitoba, I can vouch for its placement on this list ?

Everything about Quebec is true but the hard core French people and the Provincial Government make it the worst Canadian Province because of their attitude to the rest of Canada! I once took a trip there and asked someone for directions; because I didn't speak French they started yelling and swearing at me in French and walked off. Everything there is in French yet the rest of the country is bilingual, why do they not need to be bilingual as well?

as someone who lives in Manitoba you were being way to kind, this place is genuinely a shithole.

I’m living in Dominican Republic I’m Haitían and I fear for my life cause there are videos of Domican who have videos online telling Haitians to leave the country before December 15th which is my birthday if no they will start killing us because of our past history. I am afraid how someone can help me find for this program. Please help I’m a single mom of two kids I speak 4 languages fluently creole French English and Spanish.

I cant understand !!! Actually i want to do MEng in aerospace in canada.. i always know that i can get a lot of money there so how can i struggle with house.. in addition PR I in 3 years there so its fine ... can someone please help me to understand!!!!!

Lived in Canada for 23 years. Immigrated to Vancouver as a child with no choice. So I have seen the trend from the very beginning. This country to going towards a horrible place. Extremely corrupt and socialist. Let’s put it this way. \nIf you have extremely rich parents, this is a good place for you. \nIf you have help from someone, lets say 500k minimum start up money, you can live a normal life. \nIf you need to scramble from nothing. It is impossible ! I don’t care how hard you work

I'd personally rank BC as #1 because of the scenery, the people, and the lifestyle\n\nEdit: Okay, when I ranked BC as #1, I ranked it from a tourist's perspective, not from the perspective of someone who was born and raised there.

In every large Canadian city you will find someone form every country. Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Ottawa, etc. one of the things to love about Canada

As someone from BC I think we ended up pretty much where I expected. It was also fun to recognize all the the random clips from the province!

This video was made by a dude from Quebec, or at least someone with heritage from there lol. No hate to Quebec tho XD
