Et, pour les 8 millions de Québécois de langue francaise, le reste du Canada est aussi différent que les USA! Sorry Drew, but you should visit Québec to see how different we are than the rest of Canada and the USA. We watch our own Québec TV shows, work and live in French, have our own Québécois singers - Céline Dion est well known, but who of you know: Ginette Reno, Les Cowboys Fringants, Bruno Pelletier, Robert Charlebois, Isabelle Boulay and hundred of others? You mentionned poutine, which was created over 50 years ago in a small Québec village. But what anglo Canadians knows about : tourtière, pâté chinois, grand-père dans le sirop, etc.? Voilà! Et, Merci pour tes vidéos, je les aimes bien. :)

Great content. If you guys wanna watch another video where two Canadian teachers play a guessing game about Canada, this is a good one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFZNhzt3prs

Me watching this in BCS México and wanting to move to canada cuz it would LITERALLY solve all my problems*

I'm watching these videos because I wanna spend a half year in Canada and visit a high school there, but somehow I got into watching videos about moving to Canada, and I actually like this idea pretty much...

thanks a lot for making such types of videos, i watched ur all videos and everyday wait for your video, recently I completed my graduation and its my dream to get a job in Canada, but i m not sure what to do for getting a job in Canada, because i belong from a middle class family and also i have no friends in canada who guide and help me, so i totally depend on ur videos which guide me a lot, but please suggest me which course should I study so its become easier to find a job with a good salary ?, love from jharkhand u guys are amazing ??

Hi Jason,\nI watched a few of your videos and found them very very useful. Much appreciated!!\nHere’s a bit of background and what I know:\nI am planning to immigrate on PR to canada along with my wife. I’m a Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience. Both me and my wife have Master’s degrees. Problem is I got a CLB 8 band getting us a totalk CRS score of 402 only. I wanted to write IELTS again but not able to get test dates here in the USA; earliest is May 2021. \nNow, I also know of two other ways of improving CRS; PNP from Alberta and BC Tech Program.\nHere are a few questions popping in my head:\nWould it be a good idea to create an Express Entry profile with 402 score and wait for Alberta to pick us for PNP? \nWhat happens if I submit my Express Entry profile and later I get a better IELTS score and want to submit that profile?\nI’m obviously using the Alberta PNP only for PR, so what are restrictions on us to stay/work in Alberta? Our plan is settle down in Vancouver, BC. \nI just found out about the BC Tech program from one of your videos and planning to prepare and apply for jobs there. Wiuld you have an idea, approach, suggestion for me to apply and secure an offer from Employers in BC? \n\nP.S. I understand you might be getting a lot of queries/requests and this long message would certainly not help. Just want to convey that I’m grateful for all the information provided and everything you’re doing is appreciated. Thanks You!

Hi sir when ever I watch your valuable and informative videos I got a hope that one day I will immigrate to canada .My dream land sir and I will sure meet you sir to thank you

Watch out for the similarity Ghost Immigrants of the Vietnamese in Canada and in the US. Especially for those Vietnamese singers, nail technicians and Monks are among illegal Immigrants. The investigation must begun with PBN, DNT and potentially many more entertainment company being involved today!

Good I watched this video. So I got the real picture of Canada where racism and hate crimes are growing. I also realised why thousands of Western countries people are making GCC countries as their home Islamic countries are heaven for all nationalities.\nI have to rethink on moving to Canada as a PR

Hi there!\n\nAfter watching your video, it seems I can also do it. I've completed my graduation (Bachelors of Business Administration) in 2017 and since then I'm doing job in MNC. I've completed 3 years in same company and still working. I'm also looking to apply PR for Canada. Can you please help me out?

i’ve lived in canada my whole life but for some reason i’m watching this?

Punjabi population explosion in Canada. Watch out real canadians

Lol I don't know why I'm watching this video I was born in Canada

Great video, I am sure you will enjoy this video more when you will watch this after 5-10 years down the road :) Still remember when I left Pakistan but at that time my Nokia 3310 had no camera and I guess Youtube was also an infant :) . Enjoy in Canada

Hello Brother,\nI'm one of you subscribers n watch your videos regularly that helped me a lot to understand the express entry pr process.\n\nI'm getting crs point around 380 . That's why I'm trying for Alberta pnp.\n\n My question is if my wife is not coming with me to canada (as I want to go there alone first then I'll take her there later). Will her ielts score will be calculated??? Without her ielts score I will get 64/100 eligibilty point. If her point will be counted then I'm getting 69/100 ( 5 points for adaptability) Then there will be more chances to get invitation from Alberta.\n\nWhere n when i have to show these 69/100 ( if I get) points in the whole process???\n\nKindly elaborate this. It's bit confusing for me.\n\nIf it is possible plz make a video on Alberta PNP.

wow wounderful travel I am watching your video and travelling travellin with you from Pak to canada?

Shoppers Drug Mart employees are the absolute worst in my experience for racial profiling. They opened a new store so had hardly any customers, I was shopping for painkillers where there are numerous drug types, brands, strengths (mg), styles (capsules, gel cap, tablets), amounts and prices - all in small writing which takes quite a bit of time to disseminate and decide upon especially when your eyesight is poor as mine is. After a while I looked up and noticed a security guard standing in the aisle watching me. I was shocked and confronted him, asking if he was watching me, to which he quickly denied and left. Was so disturbed I quickly left the store without buying anything and refused to return to that location. Another time I was shopping for an eyebrow pencil where the colour name was printed again in small letters so was spending time to find the one I wanted amongst all the different browns. After I had chosen and started to walk past their counter, their staff member stood with her arms folded shaking her head. This was very alarming as I had shopped in that store since it had opened! So after effectively being accused of shoplifting a $3 eyebrow pencil for no reason other than being black, at the cash line, a white guy sprints out the door carrying a $50 box of diapers! Whatever they are selling at Shoppers or anywhere else is not worth my freedom. They have no right to profile me when it is never going to be me stealing. There are many, many black people who just do not do those kinds of things. We are not all criminals. I have worked in lots of stores and the majority of people stealing are the majority of people in Canada - the white people. Stop living on stereotypes, Shoppers Drug Mart and don't pooh-pooh people's experiences when they call and complain!

Watching this was very eye opening. I now know that I would never move to Canada. That country is to far too\n\n\n\n\n\nCold

I watched this video with the genuine intent to learn about systemic racism in Canada. Other than the example of people of colour not having marijuana sentences reduced, I do not feel we are offered any concrete examples. We are only given examples of (terrible) historical injustices, as well as talking heads claiming systemic racism exists without offering any examples we can actually learn about to move forward.

As a non-Canadian citizen, watching this video does not convince me that systemic racism in Canada is just as bad as in the United States

Watching this. Will be tuning in Race in Canada tonight

And this is why people should stop supporting the government. Canada is an evil racist country. Thank you CBC for helping to open this up. Good discussion. I've stopped voting, why support a racist country. Refuse to participate. Everyone should watch this and CBC should be given an award for this.

I am a male white man . I am 57 years old . I was born in Canada . At a store that I was shopping at , 2 employees showed up within 2 minutes and was watching me from a distance of 15 feet from me while I was looking at wallet's . I felt a tingling feeling at the back of my neck . I had a difficult time to figure out what wallet that I was going to buy . I was there between 15 - 20 minutes . Both of them stayed near me , watching me until a found the right wallet to buy . I bought the wallet . To me that was wrong for both of them to do that because neither of them approached me and asked if I needed any help .

The first time i travelled across Canada on a road trip, heading west, going town to town along the TransCanada Hiway, i choose a black friend to accompany me. I choose him because he was really easy to get along with and i knew he was an auto mechanics enthusiast, which, as it turned out came in handy on the trip. We were on the road for a few months. I grew up in a city in a little multicultural bubble of liberalism and was taught as a child not to judge others based on skin colour or sex; to be respectful towards people of all ilks and ethnicities. The thing is, i was young enough to not really realize that i was in a bubble. As we travelled though parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta, where there are few to no blacks in many towns, i began to realize that Canada is quite racist in the outback and little towns mid country. I was surprised and actually angered by it. My friend took it in stride however. For example, i was meeting people, getting invited home for dinner and meet the wife and kids sort of thing, and my friend couldn't even get a conversation going with most people, they just totally ignored him and gave him a wide berth. I know underlying all of that is just the fear of an unknown quantity and the fact that a lot of Canadians watch American news sometimes which tends to be chock full of black in gang wars, shooting each other and committing violent crime so they get a false view of black culture because the news at that time rarely showed blacks unless they were committing a crime.

my father watched the and he said let's move to Canada!

Hey Drew, great video, I can't comment on the US side but since I'm Canadian, here is a few things I could clarify:\n1. Football isn't really big in Canada, some people watch it but it's not really popular. Soccer isn't big either but more people follow it.\n2. While Canada has a few political parties, it's essentially a 2 party, plus system. Where only the two major parties are ever in power, and a few extra ones are just there.\n3. From what I know tipping is big in Canada but a bit less then in the US, in most restaurants it's acceptable to tip 13%\n\nOverall great video, stay safe!\nChag sameach

Canada wins before even watching the video

Every single person in Canada needs to watch this video

The Canadian government has a Youtube Immigration Channel. I sub to it just to watch and see what kind of content they are putting on there. Today's video is about the borders being closed, I asked in the comment section about Roxham Road if it is open and are they scanning for viruses and vetting. Click on the link and see their answer... I use a VPN and set it to Los Angeles so they wouldn't know I was in Canada.\nhttps://youtu.be/qEOa4q_81A0 \nGood god, we are all in trouble, this fiasco needs to be shut down immediately.

Truth = Hate speach so watch out. The real story may end up being that Canada has spent 100’s of millions of dollars for unqualified illegals beacause of Trudeau’s self protion campaign but Canada’s Dr’s have adamantly stated the healthcare system is always operating at 100% capacity. When people start dying because there are not enough resources to save them it will get ugly. The money spent on unqualified illegals not facing death or oppression and a governments obsession on self promotion instead of healthcare infrastructure will not make for a great legacy with an avoidable death count.

Has anyone that watched Igor’s content already move to Canada?

Hi igor i am regulary watching your videos ,i just wanted to know that can we come to canada by our own without the help of any agencies or any middle person's help.if we can then what are the whole process from job offer approval to all the documentation procedure as well.Could you please make the video on that as well,i would be very thankful to you...

I quit watching after 8:24 I seen they weren't using the black guy!!! whats the sense? I guess someone told them they couldn't because it would make Canada look bad

My mother's background is ambiguous based on looks. She's actually English and Irish but she has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes and naturally tanned skin. It's very unusual for someone of British ancestry, but family photo's of Mum's family show the same colouring back to her great-great-grandfather. In Britain, as a blonde, blue-eyed daughter, I've watched my whole life as people treated her differently to other relatives. She's quiet, polite and her father was a police chief inspector, she strictly obeys the law. I've overheard people refer to her as a 'paki' and all sorts of derogatory things. When we went to the US, it wasn't better. They were rude to her until she spoke and then reacted with shock. Some admitted they thought she was Mexican. \nSo, is it any easier for her in Canada? When she visits me here, she is mistaken for an aboriginal. It isn't any easier for her here. And pettiness of it all. When they hear her accent, suddenly it's like she's their best friend. \nThe sad/funny thing is, often I can't find customer service more than half the time I'm out. When I'm with my mother, there is ALWAYS someone around to ask for help.

Hello, I just watched your video. Three years after you made it. I hope you are still with us and a very belated Welcome. Many people throughout the world seem to have so many stereotypes about Americans. Whether it is good or bad there typically is some truth in a stereotype. Overall it seems like you are enjoying yourself and no matter what there is no place like home. I would think no matter what your current situation is you still miss Canada as I would miss the United States if I were to move to Canada. \nA couple things you mentioned in the video were not correct and as with anything there may be a little truth in the matter but yet still incorrect.\nThose who do not have health insurance are not charged or taxed $150 monthly. There is a provision in the affordable care act (ACA) that penalizes certain individuals who make above a certain dollar amount. The amount is either $150 or $300 for the entire year. I concur any monetary penalty against anyone for not having health insurance is outrageous. I could be wrong but I believe this aspect of the ACA was never implemented under President Obama and it was indefinitely suspended or revoked by President Trump. I also feel like I need to address your thoughts about the United States all about war. I believe the American people are like most other people and want peace and civility. The government and major defense contractors have differing opinions at times. Of course there is plenty of people who are war hawks but they are in the minority. Most of us are absolutely sick of war. We currently have been at war for almost 19 years. That's six complete world war 2's in their entirety. \nI think you were being awfully generous when you said obesity is on par with the rest of the world!! Unfortunately there is far to many fat people here and the problem is only getting worse because the media says be happy and proud you are fat. Celebrating obesity is absolutely insane and it sends the wrong message to young people. If a close one is fat of course I love them but I also tell them privately that they are a walking heart attack. It's more than OK to accept someone the way they are but as a friend or family member you doing them a disservice by not mentioning their obesity. \nI'm sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh or critical. I think it is a wonderful thing to share the world's longest border with such a great nation as Canada. I have always thought Canada was like the United States fraternal brother or sister. We are very much alike with a few beautiful differences that distinguishes from one another. It doesn't appear that you upload videos hear anymore but I hope you get the opportunity to read this. Thank you for coming to the United States and I love all my canadian brothers and sisters. Take care.

I learned something new today from watching this documentary, the fact that they actually named a town & a park Africville in the great white north. Some people are naive while others are not when it comes to racism. The very fact of the world has been conquered & dominated with the white supremacy mentality leave very little to be surprise that Canada had slaves. I think from what I've come to understands is that having slavery for 250 yrs most white Canadians will pretend to not be racist, but it's like those two kids in your class the one who had the paper thrown at him & the one who did it doesn't act like he did anything & the rest are just as bad because they saw who did it but are complicit by not saying anything. No one wants to be the rat, but at the same time they all know why the one kid that threw the paper did it & the one that had it done to them knows exactly why.

Why didn't you take a cafe job? I watch a Korean vlogger who moved last year to Canada with her family. Yes she has it easy. But, she began working now and only 20 hours I guess. She gets fresh leftovers of the day to eat as well and she works in Toronto. You could've found such a job. Server or barista. Job.

we are not a country go watch is canada a myth done by doug force it explains alot all backed up with investagative facts ,we tried many times meech lake accord was the last time ,look we can kick out the defacto gov.we have call our own election and set a dejour gov. for the people by the people go watch

I look at this title: Muslims in Canada: Anti-Islamic sentiment a growing concern, and I look at the thumbnail photo of 2 muslim women w/ their face fully covered then I watch this interview w/ them talking through all that cloth that's smothering their face w/ just their eyes peeping out and yes, I'm growing more concerned all the time. I'm sane. Concern is the only sane response to people walking around w/ their faces covered in public. It's dangerous, it's a total culture clash, it's creepy and unsettling as heck and it's totally anti social. You can't normalize this.

Before watching this video I was thinking Canada is best place on planet but sorry you are no different then middle east and Africa

Ok it’s kinda obvious that from all the videos I’ve watched Canada is better.

Oh Canada. Oh Canada. Keep watch. Ally yourself with your kind.

What I would like to know is why in the case of roxum road crossing we never saw any US officials there stopping people from illegally leaving the US hmmm! We had the RCMP there all be it as bellboys but they were a least present. I am glad I love Canada and the fact I dont want to leave, this is tought o watch because as a Canadian with Canadian values when we see people in trouble this nation has always offered help to others less fortunate. It is what makes us unique and respected by the world or at least it was until Trudeau got in.

Why people think China will rule the world when it's citizens want a better life in places like Canada and America. There freedom is imaginary in China. Most of the people there are living in poor and poverty lifestyle. They see the 300 million who are making it, while the other 1 billion are not. No freedom of religion, freedom of openness, freedom to be able to do what you want. The only thing people have to watch out from China is, if it explodes then the world will have to feed those 1 billion who are now presently on the last leg and if strive continues massive starvation that will be worst than what happen in North Korea. The dragon is running out of smoke and fire.

And here I am watching this after I arrived home in the Philippines after a 2 years work permit and contract in Edmonton Alberta when my work permit renewal was rejected by immigration Canada and there is this fraud immigration thing. Well atleast I did my luck in an honest way rather than doing it the wrong way. I'd rather live a hard life here in the Philippines than living the Canadian dream illegally. I want to thank the canadians for being good to during my 2 years stay in Canada. I will never forget that exprerience and specially my all time favorite triple triple dark roast from Tim Hotons. lol..?

i am watching this polygamy video and u have disabled the comments. first thing first. u dont have to go to imam to verify that if its illegal in canada or not. when the law of the land says its illegal its haram in islam. Allah said follow the rule of the land. follow the law where u live. damned are those people who disgrac islam like this. u see imam himself said it cant be registered. if one marriange cannot be registered how can it be legal in the country so how can it be halal in islam its just common sense. ill tell u what they are doing. they are having their conscience clear that they are not commiting the sin but Allah know well whats in yr hearts. i was jsut telling this exact thing about canada the other day and he did not agree with me but that does not stop me speaking truth.
