i am so thankful my parents held onto our townhouse in vancouver;\n\nfor anyone that isnt familiar with it, my dad bought a townhouse in the 1990's on west 7th avenue (practically downtown vancouver) for around 500k. even when we moved away, he kept it as a rental property just for some extra cash (back in the early 00's they probably went for 2300ish)\nhe past away recently, and gave me and my fiance the townhouse (it was worth roughly 1m when he died, and this was with minimal reno's/fixes) we just did an entire renovation top to bottom, we got it appraised at 3.5-3.75, maybe even 4 million if we wanted.\n\nof course we won't sell, it has incredible views & is close to everything. but i am so thankful we don't have to worry about if we can ever afford to live in a city i've called home for my entire life

He is so out of touch with anyone who is not a millionaire.

Anyone can own a home they just have to adjust their standards and move to a smaller town...

I don't know why anyone would ask him this because he doesn't care.

I came to America when I was 22 .. student life was fun because you have lot of friends I studied in Pennsylvania and in California.. but right after college I lived in a state called Delaware for almost 4 months.. some of the most depressing times of my life .. I experienced everything you said in your video.. at 24 I didn't have a job yet because 2008 happened and so I didn't have a car .. most of the time I am stuck in the apartment studying.. I was so desperate to even see people .. the only place I used to become happy by seeing people is when I go to the mall .. 6 o clock in the evening you don't see anyone in the apartments .. it used to be like ghost town .. I ran away from that place the first opportunity I got ..no matter how much money someone offers I am never going back to Wilmington Delaware

I think Canada is better. You can strike up a conversation with anyone and most times they are happy to do so.

Anyone watching this must read the comments as well.

I am from Nigeria. This is what I have to say. If you don't like it go back. Anyone who thinks this system is not good should go and live in Africa and I promise you'll be back in less than a month.

How about living in Europe? Does anyone have the experience to share? This video makes me contemplate my plan to study and live in Europe ?. I'm from Asia and no doubt life in Asia is full of color.

I am from Pakistan. Studied and lived in USA for over 10 years. Don't know where my time has gone so fast. Life is very busy in usa (I lived in Chicago, Denver, Orange County, CA and LA. People have to work two jobs to ends meet. Most people have to share housing...that really sucks. Constant expense (rent or mortgage payments are so high people have to constantly work. Whatever time people get they run chores and stay home and chill. You see ultra rich or people on welfare having fun at the beach. I have had a very close friend from pakistan came to usa same time as I did. we both never had enough time to meet up on regular basis. even when we met we had so many things in back of our minds running. I had couple of girlfriends (of course at different times) but they had other boyfriends at the same time. And number one thing they had on their mind is was get money from you. What you wear and drive is what you are. People consider you obsolete if you wear non branded shoes or older models of branded shoes. I traveled extensively in the US and Canada. But in East Europe like Romania and Poland I found people very friendly. Now I am back in pakistan facing basic problems like traffic jams, noisy honking streets and so on but for some reason i feel worriless and relax. whenever i go out, people start to talk to you and you feel like home. everyone is super friendly and is available for help. however you cant really trust people with money though. hahahha. After living in USA for so long I do really miss many things about it though. the efficient system is definitely a big plus. and i have realized that some times i like being all alone for extensive period of times. but knowing that i can meet up anyone any time gives me peace of mind. i have realized hard way that man made martials can amuse you to some extent only. you need live beings are you.

13. Iqaluit (not sure if I'm spelling this right. cold and expensive, whale blubber anyone?)\n12. Northwest Territories (just waaay too cold, wasteland)\n11. Yukon (too cold, least it's near alaska? )\n10. Saskatchewan (farmer/hick central)\n9. Manitoba (murder capital, too cold, not near anything...)\n8. New Brunswick (nothing there...some nice areas)\n7. Newfoundland (Waaaay out there, but friendly, talk funny, club a baby seal anyone?)\n6. Ontario (too expensive, America Jr., Toronto not that safe anymore, too many chinese..fake people)\n5. Alberta (beautiful, but too many cowboys/crackers, tar sands also terrible)\n4. Quebec (great culture and food, can be unfriendly towards outsiders)\n3. BC (forest fires, drugs everywhere, but very beautiful, too many chinese)\n2. Nova Scotia (beautiful, cool culture, not too expensive)\n1. Prince Edward Island (beautiful, scenic, picturesque, affordable, friendly)\n\n- from a Canadian expat in China

We immigrated from India in the early sixties. Not only was our life in Australia, extremely lonely and isolated, but my parents had to do household work that they were unused to. All affluent countries (I have travelled the world) have an insular and confined culture. I never see anyone outdoors and I live in a fairly large city. Crime, drugs and violent behaviour have conditioned people to avoid contact with others and remain indoors.

canada or eeuu = higth % woke people + higth % comunist trend , don't take this the wrong way i'm not trying to offend anyone but your situation looks bad

Bro, also tell them single people die in their apartments for months undiscovered because they didn't have anyone to get them help when they're experiencing sudden illness. \nThis lifestyle is scary ?

Anyone else motion sick from the speeding car footage?

What was the reason behind his anger can anyone explain?

Do we need an ITA to send an application for PR in these provinces? Or can anyone apply?

How about Penticton? Is anyone from Penticton here? What are the pros and cons living there?

I'm 100 percent in favor of bringing in Ukraine citizens to Canada because we are a Christian country and welcome anyone who is from a Christian country.

It took some country's 10 years to get what they got in less then 3 month. He needs be more Realistic... smh the 1st nation's should be taken care before anyone! I'm from Africa. I still can't believe what they went thu. ?

I would dispute the cost of living argument putting Quebec at #1. I'm from there, and in Quebec, you have extremely high tax rates, almost no social services (since the health care system started imploding in the 90s and has the only such system in Canada that is almost completely non-transportable across provinces as Quebec refuses to pay anyone else or delays payment for so long, other provinces give up). Daycare workers don't even make minimum wage, the education system is heavily politicized and extremely poor (far too many teachers who couldn't care less about their students and do little work), rents are quite high in most cities, especially when you couple them with the high tax rates and the infrastructure is among the worst in North America. There are good points about Quebec, but I put it about on par with Montana or Alabama for what it offers the population, compared to costs. And then there's the wonderfully racist and nationalist government that feels it's a crime to wear a scarf.

No offense to anyone. but I do not like canada anymore. I used to like it and I came back however , it is not good anymore.Canada is almost communist country. Andit is gonna get worse.Rules rules rules everywhere.And it is chosen destination for NWO.

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 ??

Go back to EL SALVADOR ?? . You are doing it ILLEGALLY. You can’t blame anyone but yourself. Wake up call. Everyone thinks U.S is hard on immigration but try to go to any European country and you will soon find out U.S is very soft on immigration.\n\nYou can’t blame anyone else.

Anyone know where a lot of folks speak norsk?

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.

I can't trust anyone who would rank Ontario and Quebec above British Columbia and Nova Scotia by any measurable standard. You're delusional.

Plzz tell me work experience process i had work in different forums like as bartender 4 years and i have sales manager in finance company 2 years i m confuse plz help me frm india thank you i how can i apply for pr program plz help anyone

Anyone have an idea of where a Canadian born and raised would be welcome to live? I want out of this dark, cold, impossible to get ahead place! lol I'm full of piss and vinegar and want room to explore and expand but I can't do that if I'm slaving from pay cheque to pay cheque! :(

I just went thru an episode trying to get answers/help from government services and officials. Zero accountability from anyone. I am born and raised here. I have no where else to go. I have no hope left…it’s very sad.

England isn't a muslim country but a christian , catholic country. Everyone has the right to believe what they want ,but don't force your beliefs on others . I follow British law ,not some law from another culture that doesn't belong here . If anyone tells me not to go somewhere in public , what My wife can wear , or tell me not to drink ,well they can go fuck themselves, and I'll carry on . this is my country and I wont be listening to any law other than british law which is the law of the land . you can have whatever religion you want ,but you still need to follow british law .

ive been here 15 years and i hate it its cold people are rude and selfish no one talks to anyone healthcare here in quebec is terrible i can never see a doctor i have lived in bc and alberta and everything is just overpriced and wages are low so all u do is work and you have no life i am researching where i can move i never want to expierience another winter here again

Canada was 10 million when I was a kid...it is now 36 million due to immigration. Does it surprise anyone that we are having issues. Change the landscape of a country in less than 30 years but expect it to just catch up mentally? We have come do far from when I was little. Can we celebrate that at all?

Did some simple maths.\n\nAround 40,000 student turned workers end up not receiving an ITA for PR before the expiration of their PGWP. Assuming most of these studies are 2 year or equivalent programs (which means the PGWP will be 3 years in length), you pay in around CAD 12,000 into the CPP. As a temporary resident, you are not eligible to claim the benefits you have paid into CPP until you have worked in Canada for a minimum of 10 years.(assuming you have not become a PR or citizen) That comes to CAD 480,000,000 in every turnaround.\n\nTo submit a CRS profile, you must have a language proficiency score. This is achieved upon completing an English language test either in the form of IELTS, TOFEL or CELPIP. The average cost of these tests can range from CAD 300-350. And they have a expiry date, usually around 2 years, because as we all know, speaking English is an acquired skill which you can abandon if you so wish, so they need to make sure you still speak English after 2 years or so. Funny enough, if you speak French, it is a completely different story, as a lot of provinces invite specifically people with strong French skill, and Quebéc has the right to make independent decisions of policies on immigration, as Quebéc is not a signatory on the Constitution Act of 1982, so they reserve the right to making their own policies independent from the federal government. (Did I mention the fact Canada is officially a bilingual country, but New Brunswick is the only official bilingual province?) This discrepancy in language preferences of candidates can be elaborated by the TR2PR pathway that was announced in April 2021. (Did I say math? Oops, a little politics won't hurt anyone) Getting back on maths, on this date there are 196,685 profiles in the CRS pool, which equates to around CAD 590,065,500 in ENGLISH LANGUAGE TESTING FEE alone. 2 years later it's gonna be another, and another, and another........you get the idea right?\n\nCanada welcomes you to spend some money, but there's no guarantees.

Everything is how you look and how you represent your self if you are a person with knowledge with great English and can comprehend anyone or any situation you are put on garentee you can achive anything you want regardless of what country you move. I say this propaganda is to make illegal immigrants in usa and not let us achieve a great job or move cause at the end WHO works immigrant JOBS in USA WHO?

If things politics (poor leadership) and crime were not so bad in South Africa, it would be one of the best countries for anyone to relocate to...

ANYONE choosing Us over Canada needs their head read

Why anyone wants to come here, is bloody cold!

You may have ranked Quebec number 1, but ask anyone west of there and you’ll discover that it the most hated province also!

Why would anyone wat to leave an inclusive and diversidies cuntry like Canadaistan. Home of the vrave Talibans, Afghanis translators who are going to translate all Englisg docs to Afghani. Why , well. This is a very good question and I would like to thank you for this question , in fact is is a question I question so I will not answe. The reason they leave maybe becuase of it's biseual PM , or maybe because the are force to listen 'Word salad' everyday or even dirnk from ' Paper drink water bottle'

where did you come from? canada is boring.... I don't know why anyone would come here

15:08 did anyone notice that the car is driving backwards?

if we Indians move our ass from every single country and stop supplying pharma products you guys cant even imagine what will happen next we are quite because we dont want to disrespect anyone but if we will be loud then ear drums of such racist people will rip up

This is basically a commercial for anyone who lives in Quebec who isn’t French to learn French.\nI Will (but the Gouvernement de Québec Won’t) leave that up to you.\nThe producers left out the following:\n- Current and Coming Major Increases in Language Strife (FRENCH Vs English) lead by the Provincial Gouvernement. -Bill 96\n- Current unwelcoming or tolerance of religiously oriented communities -Bill 21\n- Oddly the French Public School system has a terribly high drop out rate for boys compared to the English System (which is under attack from Bills - 101 & 96).\n- The Healthcare System is in Shambles as increasingly demonstrated by its inability to deal with Covid. It is so bad (in terms of available resources) that the Gouvernement has been forced to have some of the most repressive and restrictive measures (including curfews) in the entire world in order to keep its medical system and hospitals from collapse.\n\nI don’t know what to do with the ranking but making Quebec # 1 very much diminishes the validity of the rest of this video and that’s ashame.

I love Canada becoz of beautiful nature and beautiful girls..but I talk too much politically, now I'm in unimaginable suffering situation. You come to Canada do not trust anyone and don't say anything bad for them..leaders here make you suffer for the rest of your life..

I mean... like, why do people do film stuff like this. Is there anyone in this world that doesn't know that racial profiling exists!?\nBoring, cuz it's real and does exist.

Drew: does anyone even use pennies these days\nMrBeast: am I a joke to you?

As an older Canadian who was educated in Canada with a B.Ed. - then worked away from Canada for thirty of my forty years. There is no way to say that any country is the best one to live in; every country has strengths and weaknesses- that especially relate to your specific needs and wants. Coming back to the country of my citizenship was also extremely hard for me after working away for so many years. The way to do well anywhere in Canada, is to build up credibility/seniority at one job and stick with it. Whether you are university or self-educated- which is considered just as valuable in today's job market- you are going to face an uphill battle unless you are fairly established. Canada has a high level of unemployment and some sectors, have an overabundance of trained workers. When my Middle East friends tell me they would like to live and work in Canada, I give them the advice I would give anyone. First, think about your family or friends that you want to have around you in your daily life- that is number one. Nothing is more depressing than being alone. Weather is a big factor, but it can be tolerated if you are with your core family or friends. One hundred years ago when my ancestors fled war and revolution, they had no choice but to do their best to make a life in a very difficult climate (literally)- culturally and weather-wise. There are a number of refugees today that are in similar circumstances. They do their best to get past the difficulties for the sake of their children's futures. If you are not literally refugees, think hard about you choice to leave your core culture and people.

Whenever anyone says go back to their country always remember that they’re not actually from that country

America being described as a beautiful but inhospitable region is the most accurate thing anyone's ever said\n- an American
