As someone from BC, if I ever moved provinces I think I’d move to Nova Scotia.

Brainless creatures, u can act like a racist ,its easy to say bad words about someones culture but you also belong to one ,so wait for your shit it will come back straight on your face

Why do so FEW people leave Canada? That should be the title. You should also mention that if someone of a very wealthy country comes to Canada, then the probability of staying decreases. You should also compare it because in general Canada is too great

As someone who has lived in Quebec for 24 years this is the biggest bullshit for so called number one I have ever seen. It is literally the trash of Canada. I am moving to Ontario officially in December. Also calling bs on safety as the crime has sky rocketed in the area and I am in downtown Montreal.

I'm Indonesian very sad if I do listening this video about why peoples leaves Canada, btw I think that Canada have many beautiful panoramas like Indonesia although we have a different climate, but that's all of someones choices life, personal per-personal. Thanks for information ????

If someone have around 4 year of experience in IT as Software Developer. Is that the advantage to move and get the job in Canada. Please make a video related to this. I would be thankful to you ?

The point is, I have been a minority here in india and the hate I receive for being a follower of a religion make them hate on me and my fellow people. I really wanna get out of this shithole. I'm also feeling very suicidal thinking about the situation I'm in. I have reached a point where I have started hating hindus(majority religion in india) and btw this Kumar belongs to the hindu group. Ik I need help with my hate part but you have no idea the amount of hate and racist and communalist comments I receive daily for just following a certain religion. I would really appreciate someone helping me out or give me some sort of advice to keep my feelings about a whole religion normal and not hateful

This video was obviously made by someone from Eastern Canada. Total bullshit. I'm an Albertan, and us Western Canadians need to separate from the Easterners and their bullshit. Just a bit of reality here.

Hey im originally from Baddeck...i cant believe the tiny village i grew up in got mentioned from someone thats not from there.

I agree with everything you have said in this video. I've lived in Canada for over 10 years and must admit, i don't feel at home here at all. I feel Canada is overrated for no reason. House prices are insane, it's almost impossible to buy housing in any big city in Canada anymore. I agree with a lot ppl, the healthcare system here is poorly managed, with long waiting hours if you have an emergency (personal experience). As someone living in a big city in Ontario, it feels like everyone is just busy chasing money. Nobody has time for friends, chilling, etc...Sometimes i feel i have to book an appointment with my own friends if i want them to hang out with them. As an immigrant myself, i must say I hate the mass-immigrant policy that the government is pushing. The neighbourhood i live in, has changed face/demographics so many times... Every group sticks to their own and it feels you'll never be able to adapt as it keeps changing so fast... I also don't like how Canada is pushing their far left agenda down the throat of everyone, with being Politically Correct, promoting LGBQT to underage kids (i don't have any issue with what ppl do in their bedroom, i just have issue with the promotion of it), minority this & that (even though im considered a minority myself). If you come from a middle income country, you'd soon realise Canada ain't so much better than where you come from esp if you have education, healthcare and jobs available. I'm only waiting to win that lotto max now, so i can just return back home and live a quiet peaceful life.

Cheers from Alberta. Yes, many good things here. As someone who moved from Ontario to Alberta years ago, one thing you need to realize: small towns and rural Alberta are among the most politically and culturally backward in Canada (Things are changing, slowly…) so, by comparison, our neighbours in BC tend to be much more socially and culturally progressive than here. Nevertheless, good economy so far.

Someone has a hate on for Peg City

The major and only real problem I have with Quebec is that it seems to have major difficulties with the Islamic religion. I am not that religion but what someone believes they should wear to honour God is none of my business. It doesn't hurt anyone.

This obviously done by someone who has no idea what a great province Manitoba is?. Disgusting

As someone who lives in Winnipeg, I can say you where right to put it in last

It's always so cool to me when someone on the internet mentions Nova Scotia, especially when one of the villages you mentioned is less than 30 minutes from my house. I once saw a video of the tides taken not 5 minutes from my house with 500k views and it amazed me for some reason.

As someone from Quebec, I didn’t think it would be on top 3…you’re right about the charm and food though

It's all about jealousy ! When someone is making six figure tech jop !

It's kind of deadlock situation...when applying for PR they ask whether I have a Job offer in Canada....again when applying for jobs in Canada they prefer those candidates who have a COPR.....then how would someone get the JOB Offer points when he/she is applying for PR...??

I dont understand why someone would marry and have two whole kids when their future in a country is uncertain.

someone help me to come canada for work.

I’ve had it way worse then both of you in Canada at that. And I’ve never complained about any of theese things why are you complaining as someone that comes into my country our country for free?

Who actually gets pays enough to follow someone in a store?

I also want to go freshly Pharma passout need someone guidelines

Thanks for the info, however, it is not clear especially for someone with a job offer a valid one but without a PR can leverage it for immigration. It will really help if you can make a video on LMIA to PR pathway. Moreso, if you are on LMIA WP in Canada.

And it’s on the brink of social collapse due to the high immigration over the past few years, there are more programs for migrants than hungry youth in my city. You can’t fill from an empty cup, we’ve been dry and pouring from someone else’s cup for awhile. (World Banks)

I am interested to work there in canada permanently but how can you please guide me through the right pathway or maybe you know someone legit employer there in canada please refer me thanks?

Can someone apply for Sinp occupation in demand with IELTS 6,5.5,6.5,7 and get Pr without creating express entry in Saskatchewan.

I WANT TO GO TO CANADA BUT U NEED A PASSPORT. I CANT GO IF I NEED A PASSPORT CAUSE I REMEMBER THAT MOVIE WHERE SOMEONE STOLE THE GIRL PASSPORT AND SHE HAD TROUBLE GETTING BACK TO THE STATES.. SO I CANT DO IT.. SO I DONT WANT A PROBLEM GETTING BACK..

Someone just called me sand n word on the social media and here I am searching about what's going on!!

Canada is what you make of it. You can arrive rich and end up poor and you can arrive poor and end up rich. In between that, you can have a great life that balances your needs. I’ve seen immigrants succeed simply because they see the opportunity in front of them . They worked hard in their own counties to stay just above the poverty line ,but when they apply that same effort here it pays off ten times greater. I feel that compared to a lot of immigrants, natural born Canadians come across as spoiled and a little lazy…we are. We haven’t had to struggle the same way someone from a poorer country might have. I’ve talked to people who’ve worked ten to twelve hours a day just to stay afloat. If you did that here you could make plenty of money to live and have some left over. As far as owning a house goes,yes it’s expensive . I feel that homeownership in any country is relatively expensive. Here is a tip; use that soaring home prices to your advantage. Houses are expensive but you can make a lot of money buying and selling. I recommend putting together a buyers group and share the house for a few years, then sell at a profit, buy a bigger house or two smaller houses.try to buy the worst house in the best neighbourhood and fix it up slowly . That house could double in value in five or six years in the Toronto market. This is nothing new of course ,the people from India and China seem to do this a lot here ,it drives up prices and profits. On the downside to this ,you are now part of the problem. As the housing prices are driven up the non wealthy can no longer afford to own a house . They are at the mercy of high rents with no rewards of ownership. They are caught in a cycle of hard work and (relative)poverty. This could also be you if you can’t keep up the house payments and are forced to rent.\nHow well you speak English is important but your native language is also useful here because Canada is half immigrants . As a Canadian that speaks only english (Irish descent)I have to say to all newcomers that I’m very impressed that you have learned a new language and that you may even speak more than two! Don’t be embarrassed about your abilities . I find that in my experience , Canadians do not look down on people just because they don’t know English. In fact ,I’ve known people that have lived here for decades and still know very little English. They are comfortable in their communities and they function just fine. Learn as much English as suits your needs and be proud of any gains you make.\nOutside of Toronto are other cities that you might consider when looking at southern Ontario.From my experience,most are generally the same, just not as big . There are large immigrant communities in London Ontario, Hamilton and just outside of Toronto where housing is just a little bit less expensive but the commute to work is probably longer. This is just my opinion but in the small towns there are less people of colour , (which is what people of no colour call everyone else . I wonder if I’m called a person of no colour in some other culture ? LoL ). That might make it harder for you to feel integrated ,if that’s what you want. I’m not saying that people from other cultures can’t make it in a small town , I’m just saying that it’s definitely not Toronto . Here, people of any nationality can feel like they have a place where they can belong . It seems that no matter where you are from ,there is a community already here that’s set up restaurants and stores and clothing shops and newcomer support systems. And if your from Portugal or China or India or Africa or the Middle East, there are large groups of your kin here that have established roots for generations and you probably know this already.\nToronto means meeting place and that becomes evident quickly. I was born here and it’s one of the things I love the most about my city. I’m not going to say that there isn’t systemic racism here ,the people of no colour still kind of keep the top position , but as we become a minority in a decade or so ,I hope that will shift to a broader spectrum. It’s certainly happening already. One good thing is that the police department tries to hire people of colour so that racialism may play a smaller role. We’re getting used to seeing our politicians more and more reflect their constituents.\nI have to talk about the weather. Because I’m from here I’m used to the extremes of minus thirty and plus thirty . Eventually you get used to it (somewhat). Dressing in the right clothes is important. Summer is easy , but winter is different. It’s trying to kill you. Spend the most that you can afford on winter cloths . If you can afford a quality parka you should get one. The hood can be drawn around the face and stay out of the wind.\nIf not ,think of layers with a outer layer that blocks the wind. We have things called long Johns that are basically full length thick cotton or nylon pants that go on under your pants and a pair of extra thick socks. Buy your boots to fit your thick socks. Try to get the best boots you can afford ,it’s something that you might spend a little extra for but never regret.\nAll in all we are a fairly organized and peaceful society. Most people are friendly and will give you a chance . We have a good social safety net here and you don’t have to be homeless or starving if you don’t want to. There are people and organizations set up to help ,that truly try to get people back on their feet. It’s a good investment that pays off in ways that matter for the quality of life in a big city. I’m not putting my American neighbours down when I say they do things differently. They have their ways ,we have ours. This is just something that we do because we’re trying to learn how to help those that society has discarded or can’t find their place. Sure we have one or two areas where the homeless have pitched tents and we have some resources for them if they want. Unfortunately The mayor recently forced a small camp to move from a very visible place to more scattered locations. There were social workers involved as well as protesters trying to protect them. I didn’t like that happening and I want to see even more resources dedicated to them ,but on the other hand ,we are trying to avoid something like what happens on the streets when it’s just ignored. When I see YouTube videos of the streets of Philadelphia I’m extremely saddened. I thank the lucky stars that I was born in Toronto Canada.\nFor all it’s pollution and expense and crowds ,I think it’s a great place to do almost anything your heart desires . For every ugly building there is a beautiful park ,for every honked horn there is a birds call , for every cold and dark day there is beautiful sunny one around the corner.

Please pull the race card in court if someone were to be arrested for assaulting this racist b**ch to avoid standing trial. Law should not apply in situations like this . Our ancestors were oppressed.

can someone with 3years of working experience after 12th and good IELTS bands apply for direct pr / express entry ?

So here is the thing about what you have said about retraining and going back to school over here in Canada..\nMy wife has spent ten years going to universities in BC becoming a counselor but now we have moved to BN they want her to spend another 4 years proving to someone in NB that she can do the job she has been doing for 15 years , oh and she is a Canadian!\nI have 20 years experience as a plumber even before I moved to Canada, I prove this to the canadain goverment I can do my job get my visa. Then you have to do this all over again because the unions are really in charge over here, they dont want people like me moving here from the UK taking their jobs as they put it...\nWhy say to someone that, hey you can come over as you are exactly what we need! then tell them they have to go back to Collage and sit more exams and do schooling all over again.. I came over as a Plumber been here ten years and have worked as a plumber in Canada for 3 years tops as it was getting harder to get work, what is the point in this? \nAnd don't even think about leaving one province for another and expecting to be able to just do your job, that is not going to happen.. If I had known what I know now about Canada before I came here I would still be in the UK

I was born in USA And hate the fact that we can go anywhere and live anywhere we want but they can’t come here ?Take my papers give it to someone who has a family back Home I don’t need them ...

Molto grazie for this vidéo.. we are all différent and dépend to our mind, spirit and goals.. i think if someone decide to build a new life in Canada he has to be prepare for all those raisons.. to succes vs this challenge, find friends, build family, improve his éducation level...etc .. anywhere ,life is not à haven and it s not easy.. i was in norway for à while in 2006 and after i went to Gabon in central africa in 2009.. and i am from morocco.. it was not easy to change area.. but it make you more stronger and challenger.. we have to use our adaptability skills and our open mind quality otherwise it will be so difficult .. wish good luck to all.. please continuons to make vidéos.. thank you ANNA and ANASTASIA????

I grew up in Edmonton and left Canada 30 years ago because the Edmonton Police simply would not leave me alone. I couldn't even drive my car around the block without winding up in a courtroom. The police harassed my parents for years after I left hoping to find me. (i.e. STAASI). Now I live in subtropical Australia and still drive the same Oldsmobile. I never have legal problems here and at one stage owned three houses. In Canada I am labelled as a racist but here I have a Chinese wife and my daughter is fluent in Mandarin. The reason that taxes are so high in Canada is that Multiculturalism costs money. Every time some monument or cultural center is built, someone has to pay for it. My greatest disdain of Canadian society is the political correctness. I remember before 1984 when one could tell a joke without fear of incrimination.

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.

please someone sponsor me to come see canada i need to work for my family.

Please can someone get Canadian visa through logistics Jobs application please need your answer dear

can someone with 1 year work ex and PG diploma apply for an express PR ?

Canada has been good to me for last 20 years. That said, the system doesn't work for me. When I look at myself as highly qualified individual and when I compare myself to folks who are much less educated than me making the same or more (after tax), I feel discouraged to motivate myself to work hard. What's the point? That's why I've decided to move to US. It's really a land of opportunity for someone like me.

It actually depends from what country you migrated from, your networks here and luck of course. Me and my wife coming from developing country and migrating here in Canada realized how much our lives have changed for the better. We could buy our own vehicle and purchase our own home. Yes its true, we have give up our friends back home but we found new friends here. It is how you accept life as it is and be happy. Canada is not for everybody I agree, but for someone like us, Canada is our second home.

I know Canada is not perfect and I find you’re a bit hard on the red maple leaf... just because you don’t find the same things as your native country. It’s like\nfrench people coming from France, going to Quebec province an complaining about the food, the weather etc... well we’re not France, sorry to say! But I can\ntry to understand your situation; it’s probably inevitable that the comparison between your country and Canada would show up eventually. I see regularly \nimmigrants moving here and it’s true that it’s not easy. (Some people will have to be cab drivers because they can’t find work in their field). But you have\nopportunities if you work hard. I have the example of a Russian truck driver who move here with his family (wife, two kids). The man started by working for\na general transport company, then was able to buy his own truck. Now he’s able to work with whoever he wants. So I think every experience is different.\nOne other thing I noticed is that for families coming here it will always be easier for kids (even teens) to adapt quicker then their parents. I live in the east\n(the maritimes) and there is not very large cities. Some immigrants that come here will stay for a while but then they would move to a larger city (like\nToronto) because that city must have the most ethnic diversity in Canada. For cultural differences true that Canadians are like Americans in the «none»\nfashion trending. It’s a different mentality then Europe because over there fashion is a statement; you are judge on your appearance. Here, not as much.\nIt shows you don’t like winter and if you don’t your not a real Canadian! :-) Don’t generalize, a lot of people here like winter. And for taxes I don’t have a clear\nexplanation other then we have a huge empty country that needs roads, infrastructures, etc. and someone has to pay for it! (fun fact, all the population\nof Canada could fit in a country like Poland... it shows how empty it is here). Finally, and I heard this many times, maybe the people or the part of the\ngovernment to blame is Immigration Canada. Maybe they give to much of an idealistic image of Canada! I truly hope that all will be fine for you here.\nDon’t forget that you can make a change to the society; if you don’t like it, you can make it better! Cheers! (Sorry for this long message)

My parents came to Canada in 1957 from England when I was six. They came across all those issues you described in your very accurate assessment of the immigration issue. The most frustrating was that ridiculous “ Canadian experience “ barrier . A catch 22 excuse that defies logic. It’s merely a not so transparent way of giving you a substandard wage for clearly qualified experience. It’s very insulting especially when it’s obvious in many cases that the country you came from has even higher professional standards than Canada. I’m quite shocked to hear this unfair ,discriminatory practice is still operating and naturally turns many excellent immigrants away. Someone should be fired at Immigration Canada for not promoting the abolition of this practice , especially when it comes to doctors ,engineers etc. So wasteful. \nI’ll be following your videos in future. Just wandering if you guys are thinking of leaving as well and what your occupations actually are.

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...
