Immigrating to Quebec is a nightmare... Even as a French girl, and bilingual French/English !\nGetting my PR soon, hopefully !

I had lost hope for Canada, thank you mama

Hi. Hope you are doing well\nKindly make a video regarding the job search for this program. Because it is the only thing difficult to find job as an international applicant.

I hope you get assignated asap

If you make friends easily you may like it, if you're leaving a lot of friends behind you may be lonely. Hopefully, can make acquaintances at work as a starter

Your better off doing it on your own even in a different country, if you are treated better, with lower taxes and better standard if life, then go for it, because if your hoping your vote and your government will be their for you, your living in a dream, they don't care, especially in Canada, which has gotten worst over the years. Has nothing to do with bring a patriot, its your choice if you want a better life. Don't believe the hype.

Hello and thank you for sharing your experience living here in the United States. I was born and raised here. It looks to me as if you live in a north eastern state. I do too, Michigan. And to be fair it can be very boring living here in the winter unless you like being outside in the cold. If you do there are so many fun things to do like skiing, sledding, snow shoeing skating ect.. But in the summer months everyone has fun and socializes where I live in my town. We have a lot of kids . 4 parks all different to enjoy. We have 4 or 5 lakes to enjoy and a large river that runs through our town. People are always walking, running, riding bikes and playing sports all around here everyday all summer. There are also many different clubs and groups you can join with people of like interests all year round. I would say if you are the type who likes a lot of interaction then get out and look around. Not everyone is sitting in the house all day. Also maybe try another neighborhood or state if your not happy where you are. Also if you feel disconnected from your neighbor's then may I suggest having a BBQ and inviting everyone to come and bring a dish to pass to get to know everyone. We have one in our neighborhood every summer and it started with one new neighbor who moved in and wanted to get know everyone. I hope you will receive my suggestions in love as I feel sad that you feel so lonely here and I hope it gets better. You could be the one to change everything for your neighborhood. ?

I hope this is the peak of the housing market and it’s all downhill from here, but that will require some seriously speedy construction, from skyscrapers to townhouses, detached is probably not worth it to build anymore bc it takes up too much room

i’m typing this as an american native with 1st generation mexican parents. i lived all my life in suburbs , i’m 23. i started doing online school at around age 13 so i stayed home and basically quit hanging out with anyone by age 14. i feel i grew up online, no real life friends, didn’t get to know or hangout with cousins my age due to their own plans or schedule. i still live a very lonely life but this video very greatly shows why i want to leave the US. neighbors hardly know each other and don’t want to, they instead will purchase guns and be paranoid about everyone, despite all they do is drive to work, do 10 hours, come back. repeat. \n\ni visited mexico twice, i like the culture there, and i wouldn’t mind trying to live out there for a year see how i like it. there’s plenty of good land to work, i’m willing to work hard and i’m ok with eating simple. as of now i’m just saving my money and getting it into investment and hopefully semi live off that when i move to mexico in 7-10 years

You are 100 percent right!! I curse the day I landed in the US. Having to deal with prejudice and loneliness as you mentions here. \nNow our kids were born here and we can’t go back unless they are on their own. The kids are used to this lonely life and they are pretty much American mindset. \nI hope to get out of this place one day…

As long as this criminal is in office, no, there is no hope for Canada.

Doesn't help tenants who are facing exorbitant rent increases that are breaking their backs right now. Why would anyone have any hope of owning when landlords (e.g. in Ontario where the lion's share of Canadians reside) are allowed to take tenants for all they have?

Goodluck....we have dementia J. O. E, hopefully we can change the direction we're headed in November. IF NOT. WE ARE SO SCREWED.

Sri lankan here, totally agree about Canada. You dont see anybody outside. You only see you neighbors once a week when they put out their garbage or shovel the snow for 9 months. Only 3 months in the summer you see few people here and there. Its very depressing, stressful, and anxious. I've been here for 30yrs and still can't get used to it. I travel.alot and many tropical places are very poor but they're happy enjoying and lively. If my country is not committing genocide and corruption, my country sri lanka is beautiful. I was hoping the country will get better, its been 30yrs and its at the worst situation presently.

That's a round about way of saying I just don't care but hey print more money lol 2025 is coming soon hopefully there will be a change then

How can anyone believe he'll be able to help Canadians now... Maybe on term 1 there was hope. Now, the evidence is in. Worst prime Minister in Canadian history. At least arguably.

I didn't listen to his reply. I can answer the question myself. Yes. I am a senior, and I have a son and a daughter in their early 40s. Both families are well employed and hard working, and both are homeowners. They managed to accomplish this with financing from the Bank of Dad. Without my help, they would still be renters. So the answer is yes, give up that hope unless you have a generous family with deep, deep pockets.

He put some thought into that response ?. Well done PM Trudeau, and I hope something positive happens for Canadians too.

I've grown up in suburbs all my life, when I was a kid I would play outside with other children, but I do not see this happening now with the children of this day. I too now spend almost all of my time indoors, it has become increasingly easy to live like this. My neighbors are the same way, nobody knows each others names in the neighborhood. I am very grateful for the immense comfort and privilege that my background has provided for me, but you come to realize that American culture is gross and inhuman, materialistic and plastic, very lonely. I long to see the other ways of life on this planet when I have the means to travel\n\nIn the last 15 years especially, the westerners (at least in North America) have all retreated to their caves, their eyes fixated on the shadows on the walls of the cave. Reality passes them by and they waste their life, the most they can hope for to ease the loneliness is a friendship over Discord (but in the end this only contributes to them spending more time indoors). \n\nNorth Americans are moving towards a never ending stream of escapism through consumerism. First it was TV, then video games, next is virtual reality. They will be enveloped in a 24/7 stream of hyperreality, forever overstimulated and oblivious to the real world.

This is something I never thought about. I actually get anxiety walking outside and hoping my neighbors don’t talk to me lol. Obviously this isn’t normal. When I was a kid we all played outside and now I only see people walking their dogs. Weird society we are raised in.

Love watching you guys! I live in Maryland USA and as a young Latina woman I have been followed in stores. I’m light skin, dark brown hair and I hate to feel like I’m doing something wrong. I hope this world is a little better when my daughter is older.

Nova Scotia. My birthplace and my favorite province. Someday I hope to move back there. (I live in Alberta right now... But have lived in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta throughout my life)

Canada can get immigrants to go back to their home countries? Hope they share that secret with America.

Hey Anna, Hope you're doing well..!! I've applied for IRCC and now waiting for the ITA but meanwhile i want to speed up the process by procuring a job in canada. I am looking for jobs in biotechnology field. If you could guide me for any recruiting agencies for the same would be a great help. Also, the link provided for recruitment agencies is not available (error 500).\nHoping for a positive response.\nThank you in advance..!!

Hi EBM, thanks for this important input. Pls look into the Tiny house movement issue which seems to have stemmed out of loneliness and being imprisoned by mortgage for decades. Those Americans who have adopted it say the most important aspect of going Tiny is the community aspect of it, and also that they are now debtfree (mortgage), thus their stress having been reduced × 2. I hope you can one day touch on this because this loneliness is driving most of us crazy.

I can't stay in such an environment bse am a lifest myself so i think Los Angeles,Vegas,Newyork or Boston are my places,hope to win in sha Allah.

I love both U.S.A and Canada ?? ?? ? I hopefully every Countries don't fight :( from South Korea

Thanks

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.

Canada is very immigrant friendly in terms of accepting immigrant to come yes but why ? well because immigration is a big business for this country who has not much technology export and in the same time is second biggest country in the world with population less then California alone . Somebody has to pay the rent and who is better then new comers cause they are well , new and don't know anything lol but after they come here with false hopes and everybody from all directions rip them off well , they loos all the savings and if they are lucky start working at Tim Hortons lol with high rents and cost of living lots of them choose to go back and I am not talking about people coming to Canada from very poor countries like all the Filipino's , for them working in Tim Hortons with minimum wage is a big achievements lol I am talking about people from middle class countries and above . Immigration for Canada is a big money maker and who gives a shit if they go back after a year or 2 , they already contribute to government's by loosing their money and working like a hors for couple of years and pay 45% taxes . Listen any country which is easy ( kind of ) to immigrate its because they need money and cheap workers . Can you immigrate to US or Denmark or any other European country as easy as you can to Canada ? the answer is no with very big N unless you have some thing they don't or need and that thing is not money lol

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.

Hello sir can you help me fine a job as a excavator operator I have no education not even go to school and I learned my English language on cyber cafe and some friends who teach me and I have a sick mother mayasimya cravis and I would like to work on Canada soo that when I have enough money I want to get my mother operations please sir hope you notice this comment I'm from malaysia by the way

Hi , can you give me a link in restaurant or food industry, I am cook, hoping for your response

Great video ladies… I hope many people learn from this and help themselves adapt here. It’s not easy… but def possible!!??

Canada is like 3 countries in one, so it really depends where you are, especially if you wish to talk about culture. Im guessing you are in western Canada because that part is one of the youngest parts of Canada, it doesnt have much culture. Tho if you are in central Canada (Ontario) you'll most get a blend of american and english culture. The place where hawaiian and canadian pizza invented. Ontario is obsessed with pizza. \nTho the Eastern part is where Canadian culture is at its strongest AKA French Canada. Thats where most Canadian traditions like the Rigodon music and traditional food comes from such as: Pâté Chinois, Tourtière, Poutine, Donair, Poudigne Chômeur, Tarte au Sucre, Tarte au Fraise et Rhubarb and so on. French Canada even has its own version of french, its so different from the rest of the world that when a when they meet they wont understand half the words each sides say. French Canadian is based on the old french of the French nobility tho it completely disapeared in France during the revolutionary era because everyone that spoke it got executed. So french Canadian is basically a unique language now, i can totally see it getting rename as Canadian the language of Canada in the future especially of the west does indeed seperate. But right now its called the Joual. \nI hope i helped you fineeladies in having a better understanding of Canadian culture. \nIn a nutshell: English Canadians dont have a culture while french Canadians are extremely cultural.

I have lived in Toronto most of my life and have noticed a really drastic change in the last 3 years. Crime has gone way up so has homelessness and drug abuse. Rent and house prices are sky high making it impossible to survive for a lot of people. If your starting from nothing it’s a lot harder to make something of yourself without help . Our rights and freedoms are being taken away right in front of our eyes. I plan on working a few more years and hopefully making enough investments that I’ll be able to live somewhere cheaper and hot all year round.

Hello Sir. Hope you are doing well. Is the application, about which you were discussing, ready?

Well not had lots hope but can a diploma\nHolder do get some job as software developer?

Hi, hope you are doing good. Kindly, your experience of living in Canada will benefit me because I am planning to move Canada with my family. I do business in my home country but country is going bad to worse day by day ,that is the reason I want to immigrant to some other place & I want to invest around canadian 3 millions in commerical real-estate. What is your advice for people like me . Hope you reply. Best regards

I am also an immigrant but can tell you that Medical school in Canada is extremely competitive. Foreigners don’t have a clue the extremely amount of work (top marks, volunteering, MCAT, Casper, interviews, etc) it takes to at least be called for an interview. In some countries you leave high school and can go straight to a private medical school and pay for your medical license. So, I hope Canada keep appreciating people from here.

I was hoping for some French Canadian jokes, lol.
