Lot of facts are false \n\nCanada is still immgirant friendly \n\nTruth is housing shortage \nIt still need people \n\nDue to increased cost it has increased interest rate which has slowed the economy

Canada is 3 star hotel rating wiht 5 star.

I have been in Canada for past 10 years. Life have changed a lot since then. Standard of living has come down. Rent and mortgages increased. Job lay offs. Higher grocery rates and everything have gone up. It’s so hard to survive here. I had a severe sprain in my knee and I could not walk at all. I got MRI appointment 1 year after I went to doctor. This was the worst thing I experienced. My daughter was born very micro premature, doctors took good care of her and she survived here in Canada. We paid 0 dollars. In India the treatment would have costed close to 1 crore or I can say there is no specialized treatments in India for such micro premature babies. I’m thankful to Canada in this case. I have seen best and worst. So I’m neutral here. But I strongly suggest students not to come to Canada at this moment. This country does not have enough jobs, no proper education, no standard of living now

I am Canadian I do like to go to the USA I own a small cabin in Washington state I have traveled into many states. The people have been really nice . But I love Canada but we do have bad places and people in Canada as in the USA. Our crime rates are lower in Canada but I don't hang out with bad people. Rodney

You have to get your “why” in place before deciding to get foreign education.\nI moved to Canada in 2022 and while the majority of what you say is right I think some of these are global problems. \nThe housing crisis is for real but what fuels it is the economic recession that hit in 2022 with the interest rates going up. This has also affected the job market because it is now more expensive for companies to raise investments.\n\nA common theme among the locals against immigration is failure on the immigrants to assimilate. There is a lot of nuance to this situation.\n\nSo yes, if you come from a middle class to upper middle class family that is relatively doing well in India then Canada will feel like the worst place to be.

insurance rates ???????

Thank you for your accurate and honest information about Canada. Everything you said is 100% true. I've been living in Canada since 2018, and the country’s image has changed significantly since then. There's been a substantial increase in grocery prices, housing costs, and rental rates. One drawback you didn't mention in the video is the Khalistani movement in Canada, which is causing issues and disturbances for Indian students.

This is 100% True! Actually the condition is much worst than descirbed in this video.\n\nHealth Care:- Average wait time to get a family doctor is 3-5 years. In simple words, if you have an extremly seious condition then only you get an immediate treatement in Emergency. If you need to see a specialist like dermatologist or orthopedic, average wait time here is 6 months. \n\nRents :- Canada population has increased by over 1 Million every year in past 3-4 years due to libreal immigration policies. However, the goverment did not take any steps to accomodate these people. To give context, Canada has built houses every year to accomodate only 300K people. That is why the average rent(950$) is more than double nowadays (2000$) for the same house/apartment in compare to what was 5-6 years ago. \n\nHome Affordibility:- Average family(two person) income is $75k yearly right now. Average house price in Canada is $700k. The bank only approves mortgage upto 4x times your income. So that is 75 * 4 = $300k mortgage. So you need to make a downpayment of $400k if you want to buy your own home. \nBy the way, the minimum wage job package is only $32k per year. \n\nCrime and Chaos:- Canada has a catch and release policy for repeated criminals. Let's say somebody stole you car and got caught, he will be released on bail in 10 mins. The crime rate has increased 20% in last 5 years. \n\nTaxes:- Average family(two person) earning $75k pays 29% income tax to Goverment for these above mentioned wonderful servies. So in hand they only get around $53k, plus they pay 13% additoanl tax on groceries, clothers, insurance, absoulte everything.

Abhi Bhai!\n\nI live in Australia. There are similar challenges here except for the drug and tent situation. But the rents have gone up crazy. Only the interest rates are to be blamed. \nPreviously the people used to get home loans for about 2% (before 2019) but now it's 6.2% or so which is a significant rise. \nInflation isn't getting under control. \n\nHowever, I have been blessed as I am a PR and have a good job. But new students will struggle a lot.\n\nAlso, the good thing is - Minimum wages have increased by 3-4% but still not enough at $24/h.\n\nI think you should make a video about Australia too. \n\nCheers to my favourite content creators - Abhi and Niyu \n\nGod bless ?❤️

I landed as PR in Canada and I’m Canadian Citizen now….. being IT professional it wasn’t that difficult to settle however what you mentioned for students is somewhat true! There is an another side of it as well that Student visa was somewhat abused as an entryway to canada when skilled PR was getting stringent. \nImmigration happened at a rapid speed however infra for healthcare is same thus the wait tine has increased… not enough Doctors……also not enough job opportunities for those students, Inflation and high interest rates are adversely affecting new Immigrants.

Highest rate of insurance fraud is in brampton.... Also absolutely terrible drivers. I always avoid going to brampton.

people forget that Canada population is only about 40mil while the USA is 340mil, so just by population alone the crime rate would be at least 5-10x lower than in the USA. \n\nif the USA had 40mil Ppl even if the % of crime stayed the same we would have 10x less deaths from crimes and 10x less crimes in general making the country feel way safer

To fix the birth rate, we should look at what Hungary is doing

This is the main issue in Canada. We are stuck in so many ways. Our economy is the worst in the G7, so we need to mass import migrants to artificially increase our GDP. But with that, our cost of living will artificially stay high from the increased demand on the housing. All while suppressing wages. All while our government refuses to increase our key natural exports, like crude oil, or nuclear materials. We really are in shambles. Really we need to rip the band aid off, and pause all migration from india for the next five years, not even allowing chain migration. Maintain a manageable rate of legal migration (the US normally has 1 million migrants a year as a high, to a population of 300 million). While getting our pipelines built. Stop the woke shit that is destroying us. Right now every housing project requires an 18 month pause to make sure that the native lands are recognized through a corrupt archeological study (ever since the residential school mass grave hoax). Build houses like crazy, allowing for one additional farm land residential severance. And then stop the regulatory suppression from the federal government on corporations. We have zero money being invested into Canada and it will lead to us having a worse economic outlook than Mexico in less than ten years. Imagine the world thinking of Canada as a third world country. That's where we are heading without some serious shift in how we approach our policy.

I'm surprised to see Quebec rated NO. 1. But beside being the most taxed place in North America and the bad governments, it's really a good place to live. I think it's the best place in the world to live, for a trans person like me.

Please mention the tax rate when u say that it’s free healthcare. Also the free healthcare with dolo is what Canadians meme on social media… Tylenol(dolo) for everything ?

While many points in this video strike true, most are exaggareted or outdated. I would take this with a grain of salt. I live in Vancouver, make far less than six figures and purchased an appropriately sized home 4 years ago. It will become more difficult with a higher rate down the line, but I also don't expect to live above my means and maintain a status for the Jones' while covering my bills and growing wealth when I can. 50% of the issues people experience are self-inflicted, barring unavoidable health issues, etc. If an immigrant like me can do it, surely people who grew up here, who have family and maybe even a partner, can learn to navigate this market successfully.

Brampton's crime rate has skyrocketed in the last 5 years. Why would that be? Ask the Peel Regional Police where they go to serve arrest warrants. Ugh! \nIf you invite a morally compromised population into your country, well, you'll get some sketchy people.

I am a Canadian and I have seen the sharp decline of Canada over the past decade which makes me very sad. According to many 'experts' they paint a dire picture of the nations future as the rate of inflation spirals out of control and we are buried beneath a mountain of debt. On the ground level, homelessness is an epidemic that the powers that should not be seem to want to sweep under the rug, while they race bait and spout off about woke ideology. They are more worried about transgender rights and castrating children while with anyone with eyes to see are witnessing the very breakdown of their society around them, people are dying in the streets from fentanyl overdose. My wife volunteered at our old church which catored to the homeless and I have known many that are no longer with us, nobody wants to acknowledge it because they do not want to face the fact that they are fellow human beings. In the end no one is better than any one else, it is all vanity.?\nIt would seem like we are run by lunatics with severe cognitive dissonance by the fact that we have mass immigration while are own \npopulation is suffering, I admit that mental health and addictions are potent variables that constitute the crisis, I am not niave to those facts. I myself have had long term Sobriety. But it is odd that only a decade ago, homelessness /addiction were problems confined to major cities like Vancouver and Toronto, and now we have tent cities in almost every town with a population of more than 20 thousand people. It would seem like utter stupidity to keep pouring water into a bucket that is overflowing. I suspect that their is an agenda and the destruction of our nation is a part of it, it is a well known fact that the Trudeau government is in bed with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum. I don't care if you call me a racist, that is a luxury for those who live in gated communities, who create the problem and want to muddy the waters. These elites like to accuse others of what they are guilty of, they are anti human bigots, eugenicists who are ideologically captured, any one who bandies the around words like racist and homophobia, Islamophobia etc. are either those operating with an agenda or a useful idiot.

As a fairly liberal Canadian, immigration is the only subject that makes me move to the center-right politically. We don't have the ressources to feed, house and care for 1.5 million new people every year, much less the Canadians already here. Justin Trudeau has been hurting the country with his open door migration policy because he's too scared to lose his brownie points from the far left. Any other politician is too scared to say anything negative and concrete on immigration because it's considered political suicide, but the tide is changing with Canadians. We don't want anymore would be asylum seekers or foreign students working and overstaying their visas because WE CAN'T EVEN TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES ANYMORE. Yes, our birth rates are too low and we need some immigration to help close the population decline gap that will eventually come, but it can't be a free for all. We can barely afford rent, groceries, healthcare, etc. now and I fear it will only get worse in the coming years. At this point, as an early 30 something year old, I will never own a home or even be able to move without dishing out 60-80% of my income for rent. None of this is viable long term, we're reaching the point of criticality

The construction industry has seen an almost 4,000% increase in immingrant workers. Lowering our rates, wages, producing sub par products and making it more dangerous. This idoocracy has to stop! We have to stop the exploitation of the immigrants and Canadian middle class! Big corporations and the government get their housing bubble and cheap labour it's criminal and slavery!

Its not even immigration, its the RATE of it. \nLike, we simply cant keep up!

Unemployment is going up, and rent, which is already high, is at an inflation rate of 8%. You'll be lucky if you can afford a basement apartment. People are fed up with all the immigration, but Trudeau - who does not have a snowball's chance in hell of winning another election - does not listen.

homicide rate of USA is 6.3% so makes Canada seem peaceful.

Quebec being number one is because it is subsidized by western Canada. If the Canadian government wasn’t so concerned about loosening the liberal vote and Quebec separating from Canada Quebec would probably rate about number 4. As a result the federal government pours more money into Quebec than all of western Canada. So if you love free money from the rest of Canadians Quebec being the most subsidized then Quebec would be Number 1.

Reminder that punjabi is heard on the streets AS MUCH AS ENGLISH, and well over triple the rate i hear Native languages or french.

I have been living in Alberta since 2014. A two bedroom apartment near YYC was around $1350 per month in 2019, is now $2050 monthly as of July 2024. There is no cap on rent increase in Alberta so the apartment management companies and house owners are increasing the rent to whatever amount they want! The increase of immigrants moving into Calgary is worsening the housing crisis and the government has no control over this! Transit system is very weak for a fastest growing city like Calgary, not enough buses on the road which is allowing car dealers to sell cars on high prices on higher interest rate and banks and insurance companies are taking advantage of all these. Most employers in Calgary pay $17-$18 per hour maximum wage which is impossible for families to live on. Horrible time ahead for Albertans if govt. fails to take immediate action.

Should lave limits on rent per square ft and also hight how some places get away with selling places at so high rates for under development housing but only thing working class can afford

This country is over-rated, useless govermennt .

Canada will civil war before america at this rate

The only way I see societies in the future surviving is where the government gives universal income because as you pointed out in your video growth in the private sector is really diminishing mostly in part to macroeconomic affects and technological advancement... soon it only will take 10 people to do what 1000 people did say 20 years ago.... the reason the public service is so big is the government trying to cover up that fact...and this can only last so long. My prediction and hope is for a universal income to help people survive. - otherwise you fact societal collapse through low birth rates and increased crime and corruption.

Everyone blaming canada colleges, recruiters, govt but this problem start with indian govt no jobs in india corruption ,no development and less paying jobs with high youth crime rate in india har har modi ghar ghar modi Jai Sri ram slogans doesn't help it's indian problems

Vancouver real-estate is essentially a money laundering operation for rich foreigners looking to stash their money somewhere. Protections were put in place a little to late back in 2016 with the foreign buyers tax. But honestly most of these foreigners can either be exempt from this tax with their citizenship loop hole (anchor baby) Or honestly they just pay the fine since they can afford it and just need to get their money out of the country they are coming from. Its quite dystopian because building more homes like the government keeps promising isn't going to solve the problem either. This is because its just going to add more to the volume of housing that the foreigners can buy up from the locals and adding more fuel to the problem. Immigrations Canada is lying to new comers. To top it off, BC just recently passed a law in 2024 where you can no longer build single family residences in the lower mainland area. WHERE are the families going to go then? Can anyone even afford a family anymore? Vancouverites like myself who were diligent and saved every penny are walking away from mortgages in droves because who wants to lock into a 30 year term amortization period where at rate plus prime your looking at 5.5%-7% where the bank makes more than double in interest from you. Over the course of 30 years you still lose because even if your property appreciates past double. Capital Gains will take into effect. Your loosing money no matter what! It truly is a nightmare designed to enslave you financially. This is simply wealth creation suicide. Came from immigrant parents in the 1990s, I slaved for 10 years during my twenties, didn't come from wealth, didn't party, didn't have fun, studied hard, and started a business and I still cant break into the Vancouver market. So I ended up just barely squeaking into the market in Abbotsford. Vancouverites as a whole are screwed. Time to pack up and move to Alberta I suppose. I will also preface by saying that most of BC is empty and that it would make sense to built outside of the Vancouver area as Vancouver has now basically become fiscally unlivable. It might make sense for the next government that come into power to decide to invest in building in other towns and cities around BC to incentivize Canadians to move.

High housing cost \nHigh tax\nHigh cost of living \nHigh property tax\nHigh hydro bill\nHigh water bill \nHigh gas price\nHigh electricity\nHigh insurance premium \nHigh in debt \nHigh crime rate \nHigh traffic \nHigh heat in the summer \n??? It was a beautiful country and now became a jungle ???

Until the infrastructure can catch up, the government needs to throtle back on immigration. With the current rates, canada is drinking from a fire hose in terms of population.

Home ownership rates are higher in Cuba than in Canada

Every country that pushes growth with mass immigration is doomed to fail. Ai will kill 1.6 billion jobs in the next 3 years its already hitting Banking Warehousing Administration and Retail Shopping. Mass immigration also lowers wages for the majority and raises rents and property prices killing peoples ambition and desire to work hard. Sweden is now a death zone France is on the verge of revolution and the UK is now an utter basket case. The wealthy are getting out of all the wests countries as mass immigration is a net loss with high crime rates and declining services. The countries that will be successful in this age of Ai will be those with small highly educated populations and none of those are in the west.

Canada became a welfare state for non westerners on the backs of taxpayers. Multiculturalism left and now we have two communities entering at an alarming rate. All over Europe they’ve recognized that mass immigration is destroying economies and eroding their cultural by the same communities and electing governments who would preserve their culture and enforce stricter border control, and put their citizens first. \nMeanwhile in Canada, we on an OceanGate sinking and these politicians still focusing on crackerjack policies.

we dont hate immigrants, we hate the rate they're allowed in and how the ones being let in are destroying our culture and values, youre supposed to move away from a country to get away from it, not bring the same problems here.

I wonder why, vehicle insurance rates went up 18 % in 2022-2023, in Brampton.

It's not just that they are Indian it's the gangs who move here who bring their bullshit with them from home it's become a very dangerous city and it won't stop cars are constantly racing up and down the street with no regard to human life they come here and buy all of the homes drive the market up I think Brampton also has the highest insurance rates because of the racing and complete idiots who don't think the rules apply to them I've spent my whole life in this city and it's falling apart

Note:- from parents side, \nCanadian colleges and universities and government agencies given AD over Ad. advertisements to pursue to Indian student . \nthat Canada ?? provides one of the best education. And after education you can start good life in G7.\nThey done this to make money ?. \nOur young students suffered. \nBecause visas and admission given by Canadian .\n\nIf you book airplane ✈️ 600 which has 250 capacity. just for mony. Who to blame? \nTotal revenue in the Education market is projected to reach US$151.80m in 2022. Total revenue is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2022-2027) of 10.38%, resulting in a projected market volume of US$251.90m by 2027.\n\nPlease look deeply \nIn both world War Indian sacrifices lives mostly punjabi. \n\n2. Whole world migrated for better life. \n3. Indeed, system needs to fix. So Canadian values can be returned back.

The comments on this video reveal the extensive research that went into its production.\n\nPensions, taxes, birth rates, and immigration are key factors that all governments consider before setting quotas. Government policies and decisions are primarily driven by data and statistics, not emotions. Governments must strike a balance between maintaining freedoms, ensuring a functioning civil service, promoting economic growth, managing immigration, and securing long-term survival and relevance.\n\nAs a settler in this Indigenous land, I acknowledge that global politics have contributed to excessive migration, which has strained the system. There are numerous dynamics at play.\n\nHowever, I remain optimistic. With improvements in the global order, we can continue to rise with glowing hearts.

What your population to increase, bring in migrants from India.\nThe birth rate will jump 2,000% per year ;-).

The Canadian government makes alot of money in immigration fees from immigrants but before they were bringing people from all over the world but for past decade it happens to be alot of east Indians, i lived in Brampton for 20 years but decided to move out in 2021 because it didn’t feel like i was living in Canada anymore thanks to Mr Trudeu who gave them ez pass , all the jobs were finished, employers only wanted to hire newcomers so they can exploit them n then you see them protesting on roads, residential areas for not getting paid by employers,failing in college, visa renewal issues, This was another reason why you see so many homeless people and higher rent rates! The government should have balance of jobs before they start bringing immigrants to come and undercut the wages

It's time for Canada to deport these people they are the reason that the country is in a housing crisis, a major strain on our already strained health care, the reason Canadian students struggle to find employment, not to mention how difficult it has made it for some canadian university students to have access to the relevant classes because they fill up with foreign students. This ends up cost the Canadian students more money and time to complete their degree, it's not fair and as a parent of a Canadian university student I am beyond frustrated with the state ofbthis country because of the overwhelming amount of immigrants here, and to say that they are adding value to this country by filling jobs and growing the economy by putting the money they earn back into our economy is naive and false because the jobs they fill now require 8 employees to the same job 4 employees were able to handle before these immigrants came along and as for the money they earn, while that gets sent directly back to the country they originated from. Also not to mention the crime rate increase as well as the increase of scams. They are offended by the truth but to bad, the truth hurts and life long ( not 5 or 6 months) tax paying Canadian's are the ones hurting the most. The majority of these people are not escaping from war torn countries. Get out Go home because canadian's want theirs back!!

Without immigrants who will taxes , CPP , etc who will drive semi trucks , who will sell coffee at Tim and Starbucks .. Caucasians produced less children , now politicians are importing people ..\nYes people are familiar with saying hello with a smile , very few folks hold door, at plaza entrance , poop and scoop is big issue , Caucasian’s , South Asians Africans , all own dogs and all are negligent to pick dog poop , the trails speak it up, honking is common , GTA is crowded , roads streets are jammed with traffic , to do immersion program , govt need to open Canadian immersion programs , 70% Brampton population cannot name five birds , five trees found in Brampton , Italians , Chinese , Japanese have gone through Caucasian snobbishness now Punjabi folks are going through , several dress up jeans , western dress , pay taxes , pay for grocery , pay car insurance , pay mortgage , water bills , 100% adoption rate of smart phone , there is snobishness from all sides ..\nWhen did we tried to sit in a Brampton park to do a samosa party \n\nIt is just fear ..\nYes some new teenager do street racing\nIt is the age\n\n\nMoreover \n\nPunjab was overtaken by British in 1849, within 20 years , the then Education system was destroyed by the British, in 1847, literacy rate of Punjab was 70% , British deployed a specialist to destroy it, to enslave folks , steal whatever , but in Brampton , Punjabi drive truck and are paying for booze, grocery homes , not stealing\nCaucasian’s leave Brampton , they do not want to send their kids where brown kids study\nThere is a latent bias .. \nhidden dislike .. a clash of culture , perhaps dog worship cow worship camel goat curry culture , snobishness cockiness on all sides\n\nWe all flush smelly p@@@p

There may be some valid critiques of Canadas immigration policy and mass immigration in general; However most people aren’t being sold nuanced thoughtful opinions. They’re being sold discriminatory rhetoric based on fear.\n\nThe crime rate in Brampton is down 27% over the last 10 years. People who are saying it’s gotten worse aren’t saying that because there’s more crime.\n\nIf you’re worried about immigration, I gotta ask, how has an immigrant actually directly hurt you? If they have was it because they were an immigrant, or was it because they were just a jerk?\n\nLet’s not spread fear and hatred about people who look different and have a different culture. White people are not being replaced. Canadian culture will change, but it always has been changing. There’s no need to feel fear. Treat everyone kindly! We’re all messy flawed people and things only get better when we accept each other

Some of them run good clean businesses, and some of the women are gorgeous. Unlike other communities their daughters marry outside their community. All in all who cares lol.. let em make money and integrate. They need to slow it down but we need population because the birth rate is dropping and we need population to fuel the economy
