Post secondary has become nothing more than a debt machine and brainwashing enterprise…like, just about everything else.

canadians are suffering and loosing everything canada is bankrupt

This is what happens when you sell everything in your motherland and chase a fairy tale ( become super rich, lead a luxurious life , high status back home ) . People in India , especially Punjabis thinks that Canada is a safe heaven . This is a lesson for every Indian who is planning to come without Scholarship . Greed kills !! .

Finally Fifth Estate did this eye opener investigation. The scam is well known on social media discussions since last 12 years, but government eyes are wide shut when everything is happening right under their nose, then the corrupt PM says institutions are strong in Canada! Bulshit and is a big lie.

Everything is because of #Indian #government #punjab #government all #states #governments ..

Have some sense Indians . You can learn everything in India .

If you have zilch wherever you are, move to Canada. Else don’t. Simple. Everything in this video applies to refugees who land up with little or no documentation of past experience and qualifications. The long re-skilling process doesn’t apply to skilled expatriates who have fully documented skills that are in demand. Skilled expatriates leave Canada _more_ than other migrants because the USA is right next door, or because the UAE offers a better lifestyle than overpriced Canada or Australia. This is one of the reasons the Canadian Government, the Australian Government or the Netherlands Government inflates the housing bubbles in Canada, Australia or the Netherlands — skilled expatriates have families, and families need houses — getting expatriates into million dollar mortgages is a good way to force them to stay ?

Africa has everything, more natural resources, more water, more land, more man power yet from last 70 years they haven't moved an inch despite all these decades of billions of aid, donation etc while nuclear bombed out smashed japan has moved on by leaps and bounds...africans need to look at themselves and try to develop their own countries. Europe can hardly handle anymore migration unless you want to have a europe looking like africa...

It's all greed from both sides. India is not a bad country. People must live in reality money is not everything.

I am transgender and out, basically broke the relationship with my family. I’m living alone in the US as an international student (CN citizen) and suffering from the living cost and tuition even though I have a part-time job, and I’m gonna lose it soon because I have to change my visa to a student visa that does not allow me to work outside of campus. I am thinking about transferring to a Canadian university because I’m poor and lonely without family anyway (lol), and I just can’t resist the temptation of starting my life again in a different place while healing my trauma. Moreover, it’s more immigrant-friendly (note I am still going through a visa change in the US), maybe I will not be in the daily fear of having to go back to China, where is definitely not trans-friendly. But I’m so anxious on the other hand. What if I end up unemployed; what if I run out of money…I’m simply uncertain about how to find somewhere queer-friendly to survive with a secured shelter and money enough for food. I’m sorting everything out…please let me know if you have any similar experiences in Canada. Anything can be very helpful.

Dude you gave up when covid 19 just started. Everyone was struggling. 2 years later everything is sweet.

Hate crime HUH! Seems everything is a hate crime! Exactly what this lefty government news despots promote! A

Sir ap ka staff ka bht disappoint Kia koi hal nahi bataya aur kaha abhi hum kuch nahi kar saktey even hum case ke liye ready thy everything was ready and they were say u can't there is no way we wanted to go to Canada as family and good qualifications and age

I did research and comparison between top countries.\nIf Australia didn't change pr method and valued skilled tr, they might survive in 2030, because \nAsian countries will be stable and world most labour work within their Asian countries. \nAsian countries has everything \n1. Skilled professional \n2. Labour Market \n3. Food\n4. Industry and agriculture \n5. Landscape and Great communities.

Video is very good and I can say that everything that you are talking about is reality and Canada and I have witnessed it myself. Thank you for being honest !

They told me to leave after living in Canada 8yrs had successfull construction business had 8 employees paid taxes for on everything but still I had to go back than re-enter but than I opened up business in my home country and it did wonders and I never thought about going back the cbsa did me a favor I think or I would never have discovered what I was missing

Plus we have access to everything information is easy to get. Think about it. Common sense. Using your brain doesn't hurt.

Bruh..he just wanted attention i guess..you are on University grounds..a place for education..not to display your religious culture....even in India ..uniformity is maintained and you are in foreign land and everyone doesn't get all the world culture inspite of u saying ..u r Sikh and everything is allowed everywhere and the to the seculars as well ..keep your relegion in your home not the place where you study.Period

Again woke twats ruin everything

i respect that police officer too...who did wat a police officer should do for safety of people....he is a sikh and he is in another country where not everyone know about the religion , culture and things that other religious people carry with them...so he did his duty....and thn after knowing everything about the kirpan they apologies...thats how a country should do and respect other culture and religion

If you are going to another country and a place where your beliefs are foreign ... Try following the rule of the place. Do not expect everything to magically change according to you. \n\nRespecting the rule of the land is not a bad thing and whichever deity or god you follow is not going to punish you based on that.

I think posession of any weapon in kind should be banned in school..its not about religion its about fellow students feeling safe in school.\n\nImagine someday a religion proclaims that they keep gun as a religious practice.\n\nBurkha, tilak, kirpan..everything which devoid of uniformity and safety feeling among students should be banned

The USA is getting a lot of people from Africa and South and Central America, and I imagine many will go back because Americans do have to work hard and if you come from a country that has warm weather year-round it is going to be a huge shock. Things are also changing like the American lifestyle. It is going to be different. To bad the new immigrants have not done their homework about where they want to live before dropping everything and leaving their home country.

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!

Canada is racist country I came here when I was 10 years old am 52 years old never got a credit card more than $300 dollars had six children from the reach grade 9 the teachers made my kids life a living night mare in every way they made a stumbling block with everything the bank as account in my name that some else used they other people got credit in my name and I cant get credit for myself the downgradel my licence that I have prove that It did not expire in every way the oppress me and my children but I get great comfort knowing that God will judge them for all there wrong doing.

We contacted Karachi office. First they charged Rs.5000 for profile. Now asking for Rs.20,000 for assessment. Just asking for money for everything. Atleast let us know are we eligible or not.

You're preaching to the choir,,I hear some of the same complaints right here in the U.S,, Price for everything is going up every year while you're pay stays the same,, ??smdh...

Everything said applies to the united Kingdom ?? as well.

This is absolute nonsense... African stupidity greed mentality, in the first place u went to canada with nothing. Someone built the country before u went der... And u don't want to give back, why didn't you stay in your country in the first place. Everything you enjoy, someone sacrificed for.. so learn to give back

You ladies could move here to the south U.S. Realize that almost everything you've been told about us is a lie or gross exaggeration. Stay away from the cities but most other places are a great place to be free from tyranny. At least for the time being. Many are working hard towards changing that, ironically, from non southern states.

Awww, it's so sad to hear u talk this way....... No country is perfect. Higher taxes means we can take care of the less fortunate and.....I can get an operation whenever I need one and it won't take my life savings to pay for it.\nMinimum wage here is much higher than in the US, so if u think having fun is better over there.....go c for yourself......as well has any kind of healthcare and medication.... nevermind when u have to c a Dr and u pay almost nothing.\nExactly what kind of fun r u missing out on living here??? If u have the means to pay for ur fun.....u can have it.\nThe pandemic def made almost everything more expensive......all around the world and it's going to take some time to get caught up again. But there r lots of greedy people everywhere and just want the extra cash so those prices will stay up.\n\nWas life that much better where u came from??? Canada will not keep u here if u want to go elsewhere, but while u r here, please don't trash my country. I'm an immigrant too and happy to be in CANADA, where for the most part, we take care of each other.\n\nI'd like to hear ur podcast on the differences between ur country and this country.......I honestly do. I'm an open minded person but I need an explanation....please....

?FACTS on everything you lot said! I’m leaving too… I’ve had enough tbh!

Shocked that RACISM didn’t feature as main issue. First video watched by black people living in white countries where everything was not blamed on racism. Normally these videos are hate messages towards whites, colonialism or slavery

I live in Ontario all my life, born here. LOL Canada is a TRAP! All the government want out of immigrants is to suck you dry of life money and labor. It starts the second you step off the plane as you said, Canada will NOT recognize any of your certificates or education and make you re-certify yourself.... at a cost. Then, taxes on everything and then some. Taxes on the taxes and when you have nothing left, frozen broke and tired, they kick you out. DO NOT COME HERE if you want a happy life.

In my western country everything was cheap and you could leave anything on the street for days and noone stole it.\n\nNow we had so many immigrants that are not working and dont want to be a part of the culture and just wants everything for free and wants the rest of their fammily to come.\n\nAnd that lead to bad economy and worse healthcare offers...\n\nIf You Want The Culture From Your Home Country, Go Back There If Everything Is Better There, Cuz There Is Many Poor Locals That Don't Get Any Support And Barly Survive The Hash Winters Becuse All Mones Goes To Ungratefull Immigrant...

Everything you guys said is true but is not just happening in Canada rather in most part of the western world e.g America, Europe mostly in the west…

I’m Canadians as myself everything you said it’s 98% accurate about Canada???. I’m moving out few years agoes out of Canada and so happy indeed living in ?? so much freedom depending wich states you want to live freedom on money , health benefit , outdoors indoors activities etc…Canada it’s an empty country, empty land too cold and depress living and please check the population of Canada only worth one states (Texas)USA population. Canada only need immigrants to build their country and in terms of Govn professions their are very selective and it’s hard to get through if your immigrant unless your a scientist or engineers still yiu need to move to other parts of Canada to get hired . Anyway I’m sorry to brings this up but I’m myself a hard worker working in a nursing field it’s very depressing to live in Canada . Since I’m in ??I’m feeling born again happy easy living lots interesting things to do in US… Happy indeed the best decisions of a lifetime ?❤??????

I Was born in Canada and I agree and disagree with some points you've mentioned. How can you come to Canada and not expect to wear a jacket ? lol... The price of living is going up all over the world, the last 6yrs has become very pricey in all western countries. Hospitals are overrun in major cities in Canada that's very true, but not in smaller locations. Boring (are you crazy ? lolol) I completely disagree. You just don't know where to go lol ... however everything you do in Canada cost money ?. And I completely agree when you mention that Canada won't allow you to become filthy rich (very disappointed about that one) ... There is racism, but not just from the predominant Canadians. There have been many times when the racism is from someone new to Canada. But i also know as a black person i will experience this anywhere in the world. (They're portraying what they normally would towards me while in there own countries) ... anyway nice post, it's nice to hear what it's like from your perspective. Find yourself a good Canadian man (or woman) to show you around ???. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but you still have to find the beauty in order to behold it :).

These are not untold truths, these are facts you could've figured out before you moved there.\nI hope everything works out.

Only people from poor countries find Canada appealing; everything you said is correct and has been for a very long time. I left 20 years ago and will never go back.

Everything you say is bang on and I have to say that the most frustrating of all is that the government reaches out to foreign nations seeking professionals - it's called the brain drain, but as you say, once you arrive, they make it VERY DIFFICULT to get into the professions you're trained for. Finally, you come to realize that the red on either side of the Canadian flag is red tape! I have seen immigrants with PhDs working as security guards, doctors working as lower level healthcare workers, etc. Canada is a wonderful country but they a lot of issues to resolve. As for the weather - too bad about that!

Why should we change for you, go back where you came from and be happy. We like it here. You can't come here and take over everything. WTH do you think?

I do think change can be a very good thing. But people need to realize that there’s a different set of problems in each country. It’s all about the pros and cons that you’re willing to deal with. What is the lesser evil to you? Otherwise, no country is really a perfect match for your beliefs and values about how you should be treated. I personally would rather live in Jamaica, but even Jamaica doesn’t have everything in it that I would like. But I need to deal with that and settle. I live in Canada right now. Other than that, I could live in Canada the rest of my life, as long as I get out of Quebec.

I agree with everything except boring lifestyle because that is relative and there’s lots of things you can do to have fun except during COVID lock downs.

Thanks for the video. Occasionally, I hear how great Canada is, but you are shedding light on the reality. Guess one can’t have everything.

Born and raised in Canada. I agree with everything you said. I'm so sorry you experienced racism here, the majority of us are against it.

If you move here. You will still be poor. Jist with a larger paycheck. But still poor. Cause everything expensive.\n\n\nIf you poor. You already living Canadian. So stay canadian where you already are. Stop coming here. We cant even help ourselves. Lol

I have no intention of leaving but everything you guys said is 100% true. There isn’t enough things to do for recreation here. And the places we do have for recreation are hours away. Niagara Falls, canadas wonderland, great wolf lodge, CNE. They’re all in the boonies and you can only get to them if you have a car but even then they’re expensive and you still need to drive 1-2 hours back home. Unless you live close to these establishments going to these places happens 1-2 times in a whole year. It’s really a shame because even though they’re expensive I really love going to these places. If I can change one thing about my country I’d say we need tons more recreation spots. We really just live to work at this point and it’s not fun.

Hello ladies! I'm Brazilian and moved to Canada to pursue a better life and... I cannot agree with you more!!! I thought I was insane for telling my canadian husband about all of the things Canada has to improve (literally everything you mentioned in the video), but found myself supported by someone else's experience and perspective (yours). My country also has it flaws, obviously, but at the end of the day I would leave Canada if I could, I just can't leave my husband behind ?‍♀️ But we will figure it out. Thank you for this enlightening video!
