Many of the emigrant they also come from the USA to Canada. Not o only from Canada to the USA.

As a Canadian, i had to leave and emigrate to Norway to go back to a time where I’m not scared to lock my doors. I hate what Canada has become

Canada should impose education for emigrants of Canadian culture. Be like Japan- you come here, you practise what we practise, you follow Japanese rules, if you can’t- then leave!

What about old people brought here, never worked one hour in Canada, but receive pension, medical and dental benefits, or stay on welfare?? What about emigration business that evolved in BC like mushrooms after rain?? Who's paying for this category of emigrants??

I heard canada is the worst place one can emigrate to

White guy Ancestors Emigrate (Infade)the Country of the Aboriginals!! Canada!!

So when it comes to foreigners in Canada, Canada is apparently not much better than the fascist Trump regime❗❗As an American this absolutely discusts me! We apparently forget that both our countries are founded on emigrants❗

Over 118,000 emigrated, 18,000 deported, lots of students and visa holders left. Over 300,000 deaths in Canada last year.

It’s so funny this government is blindly allowing false refugee claims Even in countries where there are no violence whatsoever many have claimed refugee status . And this liberal government even without proper encouery let them get that status are now enjoying our hard earned tax money free housing cash dental schooling college furniture even laptops??? accepted them as real refugees leaving real genuine refugees and law abiding educated hard working emigrants in the fray . Shocking Canada 🇨🇦 The emigration minister should resign cause some of them may have police records gangsters rapists we do not know Time Canada imported good decent hard working emigrants without police record

Lot of people....the original citizens feel the burn since the world around them is changing. It's natural that they harbor these ill feelings. Most of them are ill informed and have these racist views. It's true for every immigrant community that emigrated from Europe as well. You have Irish immigrant towns, little Italy's, China towns, little India's, polish neighborhoods in Chicago etc ...these kind of neighborhoods are all over north America (USA & Canada). This is natural. Assimilation happens in 1 or 2 generations. Economic expansion and fulfilling social security benefits for the older generation needs population growth and a new younger workforce. This is achieved thru immigration of skilled labor force of all kinds. Population dynamics and demographics keep changing all the time and it has happened thru out human history. Now we are living in an interconnected and inter dependent world. It's better to adapt to change and move on and retain your loyalty to the country they migrated to and contribute positively to their economy and try to assimilate as much as possible and be aware of the sensitivities. This new immigration is from Asia and they are of different ethnicities and cultural background unlike european immigration that happened earlier. So some backlash to these new people's is to be expected and there will be lot of scapegoating and stereotypical epithets that will employed to demonize the new immigrant groups. We all have to adjust assimilate and move on in this great circle of life.

If 2% of Indians emigrated to Canada they would make up half the population.

How about the Emigration problem? Immigration from another country is one thing; Losing a worker to Emigration is another. This is what happened in the Netherlands: After the war, there was massive unemployment. (since not everyone is fit to work in construction) So we sent 5% of the country away, mostly to Canada. Most everyone who emigrated was fit and of working age. A lot of them where farmers. Twenty years later there was a massive labour shortage. Our country needed fit men of working age. So we got immigrants.

I’m a recent Indian immigrant and I’ve lived in Singapore, Malaysia, the USA, and now Canada. I’ll admit that a lot of what’s said here is true: there are far too many cases where Indians abroad show a lack of civic sense, break rules, or behave in ways that don’t respect the host country.  Personally, my family and I have always assimilated wherever we’ve lived, respecting local customs, following rules, and contributing positively to the community and I hate it when immigrants don't assimilate into the local culture and reside in their own enclaves, I mean what was the point of emigrating then?? I truly value the peace and order these countries offer, and I want to give that back. Every community has good and bad examples. The responsibility is on us as immigrants to lead by example, integrate genuinely, and show that we can be respectful, responsible citizens. That’s how perceptions change for the better. It sucks that a whole racial group can be disliked because of some bad apples — and in our case, unfortunately, there are quite a few.

I am an Indian. I request the people in all the developed countries of the world to make extremely tough emigration laws, so that the people who are legally acquiring citizenship of your country are not dependent on the taxes paid by the original residents of those countries. Plain, simple and honest. Now, if you are allowing every tom, dick and harry from any country to live in your country, then the chances would be high that, unproductive/criminals of the other country to start to get citizenship. Please DO NOT blame entire India for changing the demographic landscape of Canada, or any other developed country. Please make extremely tough laws, like in USA, to sift out the unwanted people. India is dirty, everyone knows. Indians are corrupt, everyone knows. So, please allow ONLY young Indians who are smart/hardworking enough, who can win a Nobel prize/Olympic Medal/set up businesses, for Canada, to take the citizenship of Canada.Take example of Dubai. Lawmakers of Dubai are intelligent/honest. Please......

Canada is finito… if I truly could afford to, I would emigrate to another country for a better lifestyle for my kids. I can’t tell what it’s gonna be like in another 15-20 years. I can’t even afford to get my car fixed, which I use for business to make a living 🤦‍♂️ My problem isn’t with immigration - it’s more with crime, taxes, cost of living and the lack of making it easier for People to live and spend QUALITY time with our families. Greed is killing this country 🪦

As an immigrant I highly agree…IF YOU CAME TO ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR A BETTER AND PEACEFUL LIFE YOU SHOULD EMIGRATE, RESPECT AND BECOME PART OF THAT COUNTRYS’ CULTURE AND NOT TRY TO DESTROY IT. Cause I’m sure that tourist who visit certain countries are expected to do the same . For example if I wanted to travel to a Middle Eastern Country I would have to wear a Burka or another form of head covering even though that’s not what I’m use to. So yea…If you can’t respect Canada for its culture STAY IN YOUR COUNTRY OF BIRTH AND STOP TRYING TO CONFORM CANADA INTO SUCH.

I wish I could emigrate to Canada but I am stuck here in America with that damned fool Trump.

We don't need spending money for Ukraine Trudeau spending money without limits when Canada have big problems economy inflation double homeless and emigration problems we must be realistic what is good also for AS County \nCANADA FIRST ?? ? ?? ? ?? \nCANADA ALWAYS ?? ? ?? ? ??

We have hard of you. Economy down inflation double homeless emigration problems ????you destroy CANADA ??100% You must take consequences for damage County and apologize Canadians for abuse people for wrong informations about situations critical crisis from your liars??????You are loose controls a leader CANADA ?? you are loose County and Canadians people ??????

I have two sets of great-grandparents that emigrated from Canada. Does that qualify me for Canadian citizenship? I support Canada.

This is amazing. This prime minster talks as if Canada did nothing wrong and US decided to bully them for no reason. If everything's fine and dandy, we wouldn't have done this. Trump did what he did because of \n\n1. Drug trafficking from north + illegal emigrants\n2. Unfair trade deficit in times when our national debt is unsustainably high. \n\nWhy so high? Because we've been giving Canada SURPLUS for decades. Can't do that no more because we have to save our country now. Don't mischaracterize this move, fools.

I'm glad you mentioned the emigration and brain drain part. I'm a 30 year old engineer and I'm tired of living in Canada, I don't even identify myself as culturally or politically canadian anymore. Here's to me hoping I move to the USA with my useless degree and start over my life.

Boomers in Canada are very nimby thus making housing so much harder to build, leading to younger generations emigrating to other countries like south of the border. Also eating up lands zoned to industrial, and thus making industrial rent more expensive to the remaining patches of land available on city outskirts. \n\nMaybe it’s time to review the policies overall. Canada has been treating its older generations like kings, with their large lawns and healthcare which they frequently use…while younger generations and immigrants work like a slave.

Funny that you do not mention 2 millions emigrants who entered Canada illegally from the US in the last 9 year.

Imagine emigrating from Canada to the USA :D

Illegal Emigrants Didn't need a passport to fly into Canada so that's what they Did then they made a Run for the US Border.

I am Québécois, and things here are quite different from the rest of Canada. For example, we have a law here that clearly forbids wearing religious signs when in a position of authority. Even a teacher, because they are a figure of authority for their students, could not wear the Roman collar, a cassock, a hijab, a niqab or anything else of the sort while in school. In the streets or any other public place, there is no problem at all. Everyone is welcomed to express their difference of culture or religion in the way they dress or in whatever other way. They are treated with the same respect and kindness as anywhere else in Canada. It is only that the separation of religion and state, and religion and authority is paramount here. Everybody is free and can express themsleves freely. But don't use that freedom to impose your views onto others. \nSo, when American judges are chosen for the federal court specifically because of their christian fundamentalist biases, it doesn't resonate well at all for me or the majority of Québécois. When the rights of the LGBTQ+ community are being questioned or jeopardised. Or a previous federal judgement like Roe v Wade is being overturned for religious reasons... it is a definite turn off for all of the Québec people to even remotely consider the United States as a destination to emigrate to (supposing that one would want to leave our beautiful country).\nMore and more, America, that used to be recognized as the land of the free, appears to be retrograde and restrictive and definitely not so free.

When my Grandparents and most of their siblings emigrating from England they considered several places Australia, Canada, Rhodesia. USA was not a choice, they would not even think about it - this was in the 1950's

India is a big country. Indians in America are the highest earning ethnic group for good reason. Their education and employment backs it up. However, the illiterate bunch that Canada imported from Punjab who by trade are farmers, truck drivers, taxi drivers and other labor intensive workers, is the reason why Canadians are pissed. The majority of the “students” barely speak English, which makes you wonder if the IELTS is even legit. Add the fact that cost of living is through the roof, Canada is a shitshow. The blame goes to: a. India b. Canada \n\nIndia is to blame for not having oversight over these so called “consultants” who help with immigration abroad. These agencies work with fake schools to allow so called students to emigrate. \n\nCanada is at fault for not doing their due diligence when issuing visas. Trudeau is a communist and single handedly destroyed Canada with his buddy, Jagmeet, by bringing all those Punjabis into Canada. Those Punjabis belong on a farm or driving a truck in India, not in Canada. Smart Indians want nothing to do with Canada now and this in turn will hurt Canada grow as a nation.

It is not about being under UN sanctions or under military rule. Many Indian visa applications (especially for student visas) are supported by fake documents. Many try to emigrate by hook or by crook especially to the US or Canada via other countries. And the less said about the behaviour of Indian tourists abroad the better. Dishonesty, cheating and so on may be a way of life in India but other countries still value decency and civic sense.

We emigrated from Europe as a family to Canada 12 years ago. I felt cheated. Nothing in Canada was better than the country we came from, in fact it was much worse. It completely disrupted our lives. I got a very strong and uncontrollable feeling that Canada would turn out very badly for our family. After a year we went back to our own country and since then we have been doing very well again. It was a great adventure in which our dreams were shattered. I could write a book about it.

Canada is a joke of a nation and I'm Canadian.. who wants to emigrate to this useless Nation... The country has no jobs.. the people have become excessively racist... It is cold as shyt... Everyone's depressed and miserable looking... Everything costs so much.. there really is no benefit of living in this shity country it is a joke if I could leave I wish I could\n.

It’s great to see and hear two well informed Russian immigrants who clearly know what’s wrong with Canada than most of its complacent citizens and mostly all of its politicians. I watch many YouTube videos of westerners,mostly Americans,Canadians, Australians Brits who have emigrated to Russia many with their families. They all have good things to say about their experiences and don’t regret their move.\nWhich begs the question I must ask. Do you two ever regret leaving Russia in light of the frustrations you have seen here or encountered personally in terms of cost of living, crime,culture,government inefficiencies, not so subtle censorship to name just a few issues. \nIt would be nice to hear your thoughts on that subject.

Watching Canadians become racist .. or should I say their reel faces ... u can blame emigrants all u want but if it weren't for emigrants canada were never built

21:58 well, but as an European, me and my family know language, respect rules and we are even more polite than Canadians, do we deserve to be here? ?\nIt is a strange sentence, because it is not privilege to have a good healthcare or job, I can’t even talk about house. It is why I sacrifice my good life, my European education and a lot of money to came here, to have even a better life and opportunities and give the best from myself to society, but I see that it is one way transaction, and we are the site which doesn’t receive anything back. I believe Canada has nothing to offer for Europeans and that will not change. I believe that Canadians need to start about emigration in more smart way, not quantity but quality, and then they need to offer something as an exchange. Canada needs skilled migrants more than skilled migrants need Canada, and it is time to stop thinking that Canada is so generous that accept skilled migrants and force them to work in the store or as an Uber because of lack of work and high cost of life ? This is why small amount of Europeans or Americans come here, so only people from Asia and Africa maybe see some reason to came.

I know some friends who emigrated to Canada from the Philippines. At first they were bragging how great Canada was and how fulfilled they were. Funny, I have heard from them now they're quiet. Probably starving now with no job or home

BS, Canada has emigration laws as well. Illegal emigration is against our laws. We won’t take these illegals either. End of problems. Quit tree hugging Canada and grow a pair. This is why we need Pierre Poilievre. ??????‍♂️??

My goodness ? after reading these comments I’m so glad I didn’t emigrate to Canada 20 years ago ???

While affordability is def an issue there are a number of facts thrown around on this video that are making me question the data points being used. $3k rent sure, if you're downtown Vancouver and live on your own in a newer building with amenities which is what a friend of mine pays in Yaletown. But then I have a friends in KITS paying $1600, Main St $1500, Surrey $1100. There is not 7% of the population emigrating to the US. The rent can't be increased by $7000 as stated by the two girls, it's capped at around 3% annually, so not sure what the real context around that clip is. The girl who took a year to get housing at UBC - presumably she was renting somewhere else in Vancouver, I doubt she was living out of her car . Sounds like this was made with the most sensational examples which really undercts the video because I can't trust the other information about things I don't directly know. Having said that red tape has made building in Vancouver difficult and population growth has put huge pressure on the housing and rental market. Foreign investment purchases of housing has probably driven up the prices more than anything in Vancouver and as stated it has been linked to money laundering from drug money. It's the most expensive city in Canada btw, so while prices are high across the country, Vancouver is the worst of the lot, even worse than Toronto, so hardly an average example to look at.

OH ICAN IUNDESTEND THEN ..CANADA GOVERNAMENT MUST SEND THIS PEOPLE BACK EMIGRATION WHY DONT YOU LET THIS PEOPLE COME PUT OUR CANADA BE IN THIS DRAMA ,THE DEMANDING NOT CANADIEN CITIZENS …PLEASE CANADA MUST STEND IN GUARD. OF THIS INVASION NOW WOKE UP OH CANADA WE ARE KIND GOOD COUNTRY BUT NOT STUPID. THIS PEOPLE WANT FORT THE WAYS THEIR COUNTRY THE CULTURE RESPET NO LAWS …

Most western governments have become inept and no longer make decisions for the population! They only make decisions based on their screwed up business deals made with COMPANIES! Not only Canada! Look at Germany and other EU countries: mass emigration before locals!

Why canada taking workers from outside because skilled workforce are not sufficient to run the businesses at canada. In between May 2024 to Dec 24 nearly 536505 work permits are set to expire who were invited to work under INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY PROGRAM. 70000 temporary permits of students also expired . If government is strict and the businesses of Canada not required these workforces then why they are not deported from canada. Only in sept 24 ,86000 work permits under international mobility program will be expired . After complaint of businesses of pnp provinces expired work permits are now going to be extended. To control emigration government should act strictly. Easy pr for Asylum seekers and refugess are the reasons for this crisis at canada.

They came to Canada to study and now they are shaking their rights? here, this is nonsense, the Minister of Emigration in a normal country would have been arrested before long.

As a FRENCH individual, here is my perspective; we humans look for what is good for us!!! I am French (I consider myself very lucky as France is a very stable and prosperous economy) but many French also look for better opportunities abroad, namely in Switzerland (higher salary and better work packages but that influx created a xenophobia against French living in Swiss) and the US (tech jobs mainly, which are better paid than in France)!!! We ALL do it!!! Many white South African women also do everything to marry British, Germans, Canadians on purpose (the media never mentions that and we know why) so that they can escape the extreme environment in South Africa!!!! It is just that the media tends to focus on black and brown people as it sells better!!! Ohhh and did you forget those many North Americans who flock to Mexico, and South America to run away from the horrendous cost of living!!!! Same for those many Canadians (a common trend those last years) who start to flock into the US to run away from higher living costs in Canada and for higher paid jobs in the US!!!! Okay may be some lesser developed countries do it but let’s realize that WE Europeans also move and emigrate when things turn “grill our ar**s” where we live!!!! Ohhh and have we forgotten already those Italians who moved to France in 1900s to escape misery and hunger in Italy!!!! Ohhh …. we already forgot!!!! And what about the Ukrainians, many of whom come to Canada now and take jobs and reap benefits from the local? Some even “taking” others husbands and breaking locals’marriages (happened to a colleague of mine last year)!!! Ohh sorry, you guys are still very busy focusing on the ones that are …. Tanned;) so soooorrry!

What govs don't talk about is that all of the emigration goes into few cities only , so it's not spread out on whole population of Canada.\nAnd that bumps especially the prices for in lower costs rents which then bumps the whole market (even outside main cities)\nThis what creates all the issues

Canada is in total mess. They really don't know whom to approve and whom to reject through emigration.

Awesome in addressing the elephant in the room, but this is nothing new in Canada. Over our extensive history of immigration our country has experienced chronic separatism, racism, exclusion and of course, bigotry. The *us-against-them* rhetoric is as old as humanity and not exclusionary to Canada. Euro settlers were racist against natives, then blacks, then Eastern Europeans, then Italians, Latinos, Asians, Arabs, Africans and so on. The blame? You called it. It's complicated, but failed economic policies are the root cause. People acting horribly does not help either. Having said that, as a proud Canadian here's a Pro-tip for any newbie emigrating to new pastures - anywhere in the world; Learn the new house rules and behave. Feel free to keep your customs, but respect your new home. Nobody is forcing anyone to stay so love it or leave it. Above all else, be respectful, a good human and a good neighbour. If you ever think things were better elsewhere maybe that's where you should be.

Do not fight for an issue that seemingly does not concern you.\nThis issue relates to the government of India. \nMAY BE GOVERNMENT SHOULD HIRE THE TEACHERS from foreign countries , WHERE india's own system is lacking. \nAt the same time, if a trained person leaves for a overseas for a job,indian government should demand certain persentage of money for a decided number of years,just like if a citizen emigrates from Canada or America.\nMost importantly,citizens should not try to exploit a new country they want to live inin. Both countries should take serious action on crooks who\nLpay the games with innocent young students and their famy and both countries.

International students themselves are looking at other options than Canada.\nOur healthcare, housing and job markets have been overburdened by immigration to the point that those looking to emigrate from the country are overlooking Canada.\nTrudeau has made this country a disgrace
