Both my parents immigrated from Europe so I can relate to many of the comments.\nSo, what I see is that Canada is a country of mostly heavy industry which often requires people to live in rural, remote, isolated communities. Canada is a big country so transportation is a significant part of it's economic foundation. Most people do not come here wanting to live up north or drive a commercial truck. They want to live in a big city and have a professional job.\nClearly the government has done a poor job of conveying what is needed (Trudeau is pretty clueless to be honest).\nIf you want to be in demand go rural and go north.

Listen to sum it up…..\n\n1. be prepared to work for Uber, McDonalds, bars, security, food delivery and gas stations until you find a job in your field. Usually takes around 1.5 to 2 years. \n2. The government assistance won’t even pay for your rent. Come with at least a 30-40K USD savings, you just can’t live your first year without this.\n3. It really helps you if you and your spouse are well educated and work ready. Having kids help too. You all can lean on eachother.\n4. Be prepared for some super lonely time. You will not be flying around for quite some time.

Good for people who lived originally from a 1st world country. But for those who lived in 3rd world, they will still stay in canada

Well said. Me and my wife were lucky to find very goods jobs and have a good living here. Most of our time here has been during Covid. Prices are crazy, we can not dream of a house even though we are high income earners. No any real friend connection. No fun. Even health care is slow and it is scary to go for a test because of waiting times. Big lockdowns, forced vaccination, limited freedom, no functional society. For people who come from problematic countires Canada can be great. For us who just came here because we heard that Canada is great and we had no problems before comming here, is a disappointment. We are now preparing to exit Canada.

Brother you are living in Canada and your vocabulary and pronunciation is very poor, please improve it very fast

I wouldn't dream of living in Canada. It sucks.

I am an emigrant from Romania ?? living in the UK for the last 7 years. My first job was as an assistant accountant in London, and I love living in England ???????. Canada is not for me, after seeing this video.

I live in a Muslim country and I am a Muslim, but I have never been as afraid of Muslims as you are. Those who have chosen to be Muslims will explain to all of you that what you think is what the media teach to you. Have you been taught about Islam yourself?

Countries I would love to live in, in each continent:\nEurope - Norway or Sweden\nAsia - S. Korea or Japan\nAfrica - Nigeria\nN. America - Canada\nS. America - Argentina\nAustralia - No! No! No!\n\nI'm going to own homes in each of these countries soon and spend 3 months of each year in each location.

Canada is too cold to live for Pk ppl specially lahore area no matter who you are you can't get a job very next day you land in Canada there are so many no go areas where you get stabbed by criminal ppl who flee from US and if bad things can happen to you in PK then there is no guarantee that nothing wrong will happen to you in Canada \nSafest places to live on earth are still in Asia

Qarz is liye lena purta hai kamai kum hai and Cost of living ziyada hai. Hur cheez \nOverpriced hai. Yeh Financial Trap hai\n(Duldal) hai iss mein aap phuns jatay ho. \nBehtar hai duur raho.

I moved to Canada about 17 years ago and yes it is an absolute pain to jump through all the hoops they want you to go through. I was only here a few days and I came from Ireland as a brick and stone mason they recruited me from Ireland and wanted me to come out. Within three days on the job I learned I would be getting less wages than the other bricklayers. I packed up my tools and walked off the job I notified the employer and the union by emails and told him I’d be flying back home in a few days. Well the union and the employers came running straight away to get me to stay. Trying to explain that after a couple of months I’d be on the same money as the rest of the guys. This is where I explain to them that taking home C$1100 was already a pay cut a massive pay cut as are used to take home 2500 to 2200 Euros living in Ireland. I moved to Canada for a change of lifestyle but that doesn’t mean I was going to be taken advantage of. And that’s when they said they would pay me the same as everybody else. Sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself and be willing to follow through. They even reimbursed me for the airline ticket I bought to go back. Some skill sets they really need in this country in addition Canadians population growth is absolutely dependent upon immigration as the family sizes and birth rates are critically to lol to sustained a country. As I’ve said I’ve been living here 17 years now and I am a Canadian citizen I guess that makes me an Irish Canadian now.

Got four tickets to the Austin show for Christmas from my husband. My family likes to indulge their crazy wife/mother who lived in Dublin for 3.5 years and has a graduate degree from DCU. I’ve made my household watch, even when I the only one who can truly appreciate your spoofing humour!

Hey, I live in Portland, Oregon ?, USA ??. Our state legalize pot ? too.

I'm so excited you're coming to Seattle!!! Fingers crossed to finally be able to see you live after dedicatedly watching all of your videos ??

Wohoo!!! ?Best news today! You are coming to the US! Can't wait to see you live.

As I Canadian and seeing you guys live 8 years ago at the fringe festival, I will see you in Toronto in March!

CLEVELAND!? You are actually coming to Cleveland?\nWell, I guess I have no excuses anymore. I would have to go and see you live then.

I love this brilliant I lived in Vancouver for a year and I got mistake as a person from Newfoundland a few time It was very funny I was like no sorry I am Irish

Genuinely couldn't recommend their Patreon more highly. Especially to those who aren't able to go to live shows! They posted a wonderful video blog of their Vicar St gig on there yesterday and it really feels like you're there with them. It was lovely and funny and it makes the wait to see them one day a whole lot easier. Plus there's SO much extra on there, it's incredible!\nThanks lads for being so generous, you give us so much more than you have to. I've been subscribed to other Patreons before...Nobody even comes close to the amount you give and I mean that! Tank ooo!

My life is already broken ...really sad experience with Qc. Shouldn't have even live in the this province even for 1 night.

This video had me laughing so much. I loved it. Lived here my whole life, the only province/territories/regions I haven't been to yet are Labrador and Nunavut. Because I don't own a freaking twin otter....yet.

Im living in quebec and I can relate

Born and raised francophone from Québec, that has seen ALL of Canada and I love it ALL. Every province and territories are amazing. Also lived in Ontario, Alberta and BC.

Ayy i live in Québec and didn’t even know it was so good.

Yeah... In Quebec to even live you NEED french, and by no means is it the best

Newfoundland is a breathtakingly beautiful province. A great place to live and raise a family.

As an islander I can say that pei isn't that good of a place it looks nice but we have high rates of asthma and cancer from the amount of pesticides thrown everywhere and besides the beaches it's really not worth living here it's more of a vacation place not a permanent residence place

Great video :) I am from Victoria BC and live in Alberta now. So I agree with everything you said ;) except Quebec. Quebec sucks ha

Nova Scotia, the best fishes are there. Alberta definitely have what's best for lungs.\nlol very cheap rent in Montreal, of course if you like black mushroom, mold and wall made from paper. Yes it's cheaper but you get what you pay for. I lived in 4 provinces each one have good and bad points (as stated in the vid) the choice have to made carefully because the chances to be stuck for years into something you don't like is very high. In fact the 3 main points to look for are: Water, trees and rocks, choose what you like the most and make the most of it. About industries and technologies, Canada is so far behind the G7 that it doesn't worth the shot to aim for it.

I’ve lived in Canada my whole life, I’ve gone through a year of culinary school and passed high school with decent grades. Yet still improving my quality of life is an uphill battle. Bus prices and efficiency is awful, if you don’t have a car good luck cause you’ll spend much of your wage on bus fare and still have to walk through poor sidewalk systems to get to your destination. Schooling really didn’t teach me anything about taxes, or getting a job. But let me tell you I sure as heck know how to lease a car.... can’t wait to get a job so I can do that. My year of culinary training, under 4 red seal chefs has gotten me not one job. No matter how perfect you are for the role is you will ALWAYS get an entry level position first. (In my experience at least) and they are completely right, references are 100% key. I have a first shift tomorrow (wish me luck) that I only got because my chiropractor gave the pancakes house owner his reference. Very weird but I’ll take it. On top of all this winter just sucks, politics have gone nowhere in years, and if you don’t live in the major cities of Quebec, BC, or Ontario it’s going to be even harder. Plus living in Manitoba is odd cause people always call it “friendly Manitoba” but everyone (including me) is always frustrated. Needless to say I’m in the process of researching new place to move to, most likely in Europe cause America has all the same problems. (But worse)

As a bilingual Canadian I agree with this ranking. I live in Northeastern Ontario (3rd on the list) but the Quebec border is only a ten minute drive away (1st on the list). I absolutely love this area

Quebec is the best province to live in....????. Get real...they rely heavily on a 13.5 billion equalization from Western Canada to afford their lavish lifestyle. They should be #5 at best...

Dude your drunk!!! I've lived in 4 provinces ab, bc, ns and nb. Ns and nb are by far the best to live. Quality of life, jobs, scenery! Ab is by far the worst and it is one I know something about being born there.

Quebec at number 1 ????????????????? Obviously you never lives there. Any sane person leaves. BC is number 1, always has been.

I've been to every province, and territory in Canada, and I am not sure I would agree with your order! Still, even the worst place in Canada is still better than most other places in the world. I've been living in the Yukon since 2009, so my opinions might not go over so well!

I live in canada and its nice

#Br Ambedkar \nDarul Islam- land of Islam\nDarul herb- land of war \nEvery country where Muzlims resides (lives) but are not in power is Darul herb( land of war) for them & aim of every Muzlim civilian or soldier is to transform this Darul herb into Darul Islam.

What was the point of this…\nBOOK?\n\nMy favourite provinces (not ranking) are Ontario, Alberta, BC, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. \n\nOntario for the history, the world records, *(longest street on earth at least at one point, tallest tower in North America, Toronto most multicultural city, etc.)* and the terrain/coolness of Ontario- the big cities, surprisingly safe, the good weather some places, the icy terrain near Hudson Bay, and pretty nice forests.\n\nAlberta for the coolness aswell, the big cities Calgary and Edmonton are pretty great, and the mountains are awesome, the oil is useful, the lakes are great- and yeah the great, safe place to live overall.\n\nBC for the amazing mountains too, the islands, Vancouver is SO amazing just seeing a picture of it, its unique that a big city is spread across so many islands, and the pacific- \n? oh I do like to be beside the sea side ? \nAnd BC has great forests like Ontario. Just- take in mind that it’s the only province with grizzly bears. (Alberta might idk)\n\nQuebec for the history, (all the history is in Quebec City)\nAnd the great terrain, it looks amazing- they have a lot of Great Lakes (wait Ontario has more, in fact all of those) and even just it’s one big city, Montreal. For the biggest province it’s got just one big city but it is _huge._ and Montreal is a great sight to see. Big city- and stuff. (I’ve been writing too much) oh also French…. Stuff.\n\nNOVA SCOTIA IS GOOD BC well Halifax is pretty freakin sweet and the Atlantic is a great sight as well as in Newfoundland and warmest in PEI. Oh and Nova Scotia is cool bc it holds record for find of the worlds largest lobster on its shore. ? \nIt has some nice villages too but I like the seaside the best out of any province there I think.

I'm not even going to watch this video. The best province is BC in everything but cost of living.

You did not mention low crime rates, relatively low pollution levels, clean cities or very high general level of literacy and education. These are all variables which make Canada a great place to live.

Nice video. I came to this country over 20 years ago, and chose to have partners from other countries which is sometimes a challenge, but nevertheless worth it. Canada's climate looks pretty cold and unpleasant now, but with climate change, anywhere around the great lakes it might be one of the last good places to live towards the end of the century. Maybe is just me, but I never really cared about paying taxes. I just see it as a social good. Sometimes I would like to move back to Europe because I can fly for cheap and see many different countries, but then I realize I will never be accepted anywhere there as I am here.

you have forgotten the cost of living ... the price of houses is exaggerated in big cities

I live at the madeleine islands! 5:41

Host Country under siege by these foreigners or migrants where given a chance to lived peacefully are now causing troubles by certains extremists groups where ever they're any countries, around the world. They should do more productives positives things to ease tensions for their host country an be loyal that are be saved from death allowed to lived with the British kindness. \nThose that stirred troubles and harrass how the british lives their way of life should be send back to where they come from. They are living in a foreign country thats do not belongs to them and must follow the Laws of that Hosts Government and the locals.

So, you are affirming that your government lives off the sweat of each employee, the government devalues the academic studies of other countries, the climate is very bad, many people are not friendly, and also you forgot to mention the shortage of houses in the country. . Wow! I think Europe and South America sound like better options to live.

Uh oh I live in Prince Albert 8:32

Brother,I am a very big friend of yours. I am a Bangladeshi but I live in Ghana as a refugee so I got a travel document from UNHCR How can I go to Canada now? Please help me

The best place to live in the worst province is better than the worst place to live in the best province, eh.

Nah. I’ve travelled coast to coast and have lived in both Toronto and Montreal and ain’t no one gonna convince me that there’s a better place to be than I am now……Victoria BC. Absolute paradise. Hands-down.?
