Ngl, as a Canadian, going to have to disagree with the “least corrupt country in the world” comment. We are run by bumbling fools that are more interested in stuffing their pockets. We actually don’t have a functioning Constitution as the government has largely clamped down on people they don’t like. Fortunately, I don’t think this will last forever. Misery has a way waking people up. People who have been in power for the last 3 years have a lot of repenting to do!

I think your video is well done. I used to love visiting the US especially the west and have fond memories of our travels .Now we don't travel to the US because of the gun violence and so many guns. Most Canadians don't want guns and think gun control should be very strict. I am very content with the way things are in Canada. We have high taxes but we have so many benefits, like maternity leave of 12 months or more. We have free healthcare with no premiums to pay. We have at least 2 government pensions , one we help contribute to and one is totally government funded plus a guarantee supplement if needed . Most people also have a company or union \npension . Most people retire between 60 to 65 years , but its certainly not compulsory. Canada is hoping to have a 4 day work week soon. Our federal government is generous helping with supplements for food etc. We welcome newcomers and we have a very diverse population. I have traveled to different parts of the world and I am very content here.

As soon as I watched I’m THINKING JUST ANOTHER WAY TO GET I TO CANADA FAST!!!!! THEY WANT TO SKIP THE LINE, THAN DO IT PROPERLY LIKE THE PEOPLE WAITING NOW!!!

African origin people build your continent and stop thinking the west is the way. Build in the original land of Africa

This is happening all over the world… I’m also African American . I’ve be going through the worst disrespect dealing with these white peoples in the predominantly white neighborhoods. The way they act, he would think slavery still existed. I stand tall with her. I feel her pain, the harassment, the stereotyping, the uncomfortable, feeling no one should have to go through that when will the world start judging by character, and not by sight I’ll wait I have this problem just simply filling out my application. The Caucasian lady was so rude. She talk to me as if I was a child and then when I cut into her and told her I didn’t like her energy to step away from me and get someone else to help me I was wrong for speaking out, as a people we have to do better or should I say they ?

The White man, no matter what part of the planet you visit, is often up to their devilish ways. One would think that we enslaved them, robbed them of their language, raped their ancestors and stole their land. I blame Black folks because we are just too damned nice and forgiving. EVERYONE, Liberals and Conservatives are ANTI-BLACK.

People think that Canada is racism free utopia and its not. People always want to talk about the US. And yes the US has a long way to go,but at least it's vocal. My mom used to say let me know right off the bat that you don't like me,don't be sneaky with it. Canada,the UK and western Europe always try to say that racism is an American problem. Americans are just more vocal with it. And if anyone is inclined to Google,just look up the food inequality that Canada has with their northern neighbors,the people of Nunavut.

Why do they think they can do this? Stay in your country and fight there or become a citizen here the right way . These people dont belong here illegally. This is wrong.

And she is light skinned too. They dont care . . . Hughhhh If you are not 100% White you can forget it and that include the uppity house N's too who think that the undercover W/S 's in their midst are their friends just because they have whyte friends they think they are so special until reality check remind them too of where they do not fit in at. So Black People. Stop forcing your way into areas you are not accepted.

Racism every where don't think you anything special alot of african refugees lives in Alberta the play book is cry racism on everything I'm a black man grew up in Toronto a black man suffers way more than black female we looked upon we drug dealers and killers only good for rap and sports while black females play the system have a baby government support them even if women shelter # the play book now is cry Racism no matter what ethnic back ground you from # oh Canada ??

I think it’s getting that way world wide…I think they prefer Africans and other immigrants. It’s a worldwide phenomenon 2023 somethings about to pop off and I think the Most High wii have our back

Thanks biden and DemoCRAPS for making this happended. By the way, i think biden is more mexican president than American president according to his immigrant policy and left American homeless sleep on the streets and gave money to theae illegal immigrants. Thanks biden.

Maybe it's cause she went to a province that was more insular and homogeneous. I heard in Quebec mostly they can be that way . I imagine living in Canada would be similar to the Pacific Northwest states . I have some friends who are Hoosiers (rednecks) from up north . It's a mindset thing I think , yeah there's folks who don't like you no matter where you go, it doesn't matter it's about you .

Thanks a lot for such an informative video. This is my first video on Canada PR process. I don't think I have any questions on the process. Brilliant!! One quick question, myself and wife both are Chartered Accountants (CA), age 46& 45. I guess that's the reason our CRS is coming low (around 380-390). We are yet to go for IELTS. Just to confirm my understanding..PNP is the only way forward. Right? Do we need to create both Express Entry profile and in parallel apply in PNP program??

On the serious side now. What if you lived in a country that was so poor you barely could live. Now what if you were a family man who couldnt provide for your loved ones. Then you hear about this place where its called the land of opprtunity and has the best economy in the world. Thanks to Joe. You can fact check that too. Would you give everything you had to find a better way of life for yourself and love ones or would you just waste at the side just to die.? Thats a deep question for many because they could not answer it. Be grateful you not one of these poor people who have it a lot harder and have less to almost nothing but believe The United states of American could help them. Trump supported a wall on the West Coast thur Texas . I wonder why at times . I have been around the world and one thong i can say about walls. They are not built to keep people from coming in country but built to keep the people from leaving the country and a wall signifies communism. Think about that onebfor a minute.

i dont wanna be that guy before i start but i think we already have a hard time finding jobs and housing as it is but all these new people we cant keep up there now making there way all over the east coast the resort in my area is ran by like 80% staff now no offence but thats hundreds of jobs that we need i have friends that work 12 hours a day at 3 different gas stations just to pay there bills only making about 100$ a day when they could have a job that pays 12$ a hour instead of 9$ see my point i thought it was very good

These people will bring their third world way of life and turn America into the same country the came from. We the people of the United States of America need to stop this invasion. If you think we have a gang problem, you haven't seen nothing like what is coming.

Conquer Mexico and make them all American? if their life over there are nice, do u think they will run into America? No way?. U can close border but nothing can stop people from pursuing their happiness?

The UK is pretty much like Canada, now. There is only room for the 5% who are rich (the capitalists & rentiers) and the 35% of people on Benefits (the 35% of population who live off welfare paid for by the State using the hard-working tax payer's money). The honest, hard-working middle-class (about 50 to 60% of society) are absolutely screwed and doomed, because all they can now do is keep working their guts out till they drop dead, and never hope to have a decent life. The culture of state-funded Welfare has now gotten so bad that I now live in a street where some 30% of the people who live off Welfare have been given State funded houses, and those houses which are bigger and better than mine (all paid for using my tax money). And I have slogged my entire life (I am 65 now) to pay off a large mortgage on a house that eventually has lower value than the houses that people on Welfare are given on the same Street! Worse still, now that I am approaching the stage where I might need to go into a Care Home, my house (which I worked for my entire life to attain) will have to be sold off to pay for my Care Home costs. While my neighbours who never worked a single day in their life (and whose life was subsidized using my tax money) will again get free state-funded Care Home facility too! It utterly beggars belief. \n\nWhen state-funded Welfare gets to a point that doing an honest day's work actually penalizes you, because all you are doing is funding the lifestyles of the other half of society who wish to sponge off State Welfare (due to the high taxes the Government is forced to impose on the working middle-class to support the 35% on State benefits), then that society can never prosper, firstly because it removes the motivation to work hard, and secondly because some day the Government will run out of money to continuing funding the lavish lifestyles of people on State Welfare. And that is very much now the state of affairs in countries like Canada, the UK, and much of EU. It is an unsustainable model. \n\nBy contrast, in countries like the US, China, India, etc. there is a much greater correlation between hard work and reward. Choosing to not go to work and sponging off Governmental welfare is simply not an option. And that is precisely why countries like these will continue to prosper in the coming years - because they have some form of Meritocracy. Unfortunately, I think countries like the UK, Canada, and most western EU countries are looking at a downward spiral, and there are no easy solutions, because their Welfare model has already created these huge segments of society which depend on it and will not allow it to be demolished - but the day is fast approaching where they will all soon run out of money to continue funding it (most of these countries are already facing huge Debt-GDP ratios, and there is no conceivable way of them coming out of it).

This is nothing new. Ever since the beginning of time Caucasians have always felt this way. It's in their blood, their DNA. They feel Superior to everyone else of color. They see us people of color as inferior. They think they're entitled to everything on this earth. So hateful and so wrong. This will never change or go away. Just like the white blood cells that don't like the red blood cells and vise versa. It's a sad part of life. We don't live in a perfect world. It was never meant to be perfect either. Humans are the root of all evil.

And yet our so called politicians just sit and watch as hard working sympathetic people on the border work to keep these persons out, aa politicians watch while they are sleep and eat comfortably. Imagine the politicians eating a great dinner watching, saying somethingmust be done. Do you think they stop living comfortably and go to the border to help? I'm just saying...These immigrants just don't know how hard we, Americans have it too. Any politicians reading this, you can have them to come in the right way by working with Mexico and create thousands of jobs here in the US and Mexico. Get your sh#* together politicians.

whats going on here? can we have someone explain why this is happening? why is this a thing? if we can fly in and out of here why cant we walk? are we trapped? or are the exiled? what is needed? what is missing? serious question because you never know who can fulfill it if we only knew. one thing for sure I don't think it would be like that the other way around. it would be force to get out if we ever had to evacuate.

HOW IS IT that democrats think they AREN'T going to behave this way once their in? Look well independent voters - YOU PUT BIDEN IN, YOU BELIVED EVERY WORD MSNBC TOLD YOU ABOUT TRUMP

This isn't immigration, this is infiltration. Texas has a way of taking care of feral hogs that are a threat. I think there used to be something about a right we used to have that protected us from threats, foreign and domestic. I may be wrong.??

Even tho I don’t think this is correct, U.S people luckily finds themselves on a good position to see this just as people making a tantrum to enter the U.S, proudly I say I’m Mexican American and I’ve lived in Mexico and Brasil as well, non of those Latin American countries I lived is as bad as Venezuela and even like that I’ve seen some very messed up shit, they are countries with a huge culture and beautiful but on the lowest levels it’s a pretty dark place to be…so for the USA people here that is heavily throwing shit, be some kind of human try to understand at least , I get it, I don’t think this is the way neither, but they are not just people trying to invade to take over or whatever, I even saw a comment saying that they should shoot those Venezuelans, the world is a pretty messed up thing now, and luckily or unluckily we don’t really know a shit about it, they are DESPERATE it seem like they were violent and most probably some of them tried to get violent but most of them is just desperate people trying to have it better in their only and one only lives..worst yet, if you have a kid, imagine how worried would you feel for not being able to provide your kid with a good life… see the people in the front for example, they were people begging and crying, is being desperate for having something better, and this is a really biiiiiiig subject with a lot of issues, wrongs, misunderstanding… you don’t know how bad is going in Venezuela, not even me, but I can imagine it cuz I know how bad some people have it in Mexico, and they don’t know how them illegally getting into the US is going to affect the US, I try to get all points so I don’t think this is correct, this kind of events shouldn’t be happening, but I also understand, just to put it in perspective, I’ve talked with some people from Venezuela and they’ve told me some crazy stuff, quick example. McDonalds something most American people know …for one person only it can be around 15 - 20 bucks, in Venezuela, and I think minimum wage rn is around 6.15 bucks and if it’s good it can be around 20 - 30 A MONTH, now apply this formula to EVERYTHING, housing, bills, expenses and I think things in Venezuela for a little bit better not that long ago,so it was worst than what I just told you, imagine you finish college you have somehow of a decent life and for things you don’t understand and no one advise you of, next week your job, money is not even half of the value it had last week, imagine if it was you and your family, your kids…I don’t have kids but I know my mom would’ve done anything for trying and give me not even a luxurious life, but a kinda decent life, and I know most of people would’ve done the same, and not only for your kids, also your mom, dad, sisters, brothers and even YOURSELF…again, I’m not saying this is correct or it’s not I’m just saying at the end our surrounding make us do whatever we are doing….I get you not being okay with this, but try to be comprensible and not go straight into hate for this people. \n\nUnfortunately I wouldn’t imagine anything to solve this problem and I hope something better comes for the entire world right now …but I just doubt it…

I’m Hispanic and this shit pisses me off. My family had to grind it out and sacrifice so much to come to the United States the legal and correct way. Now these people think they can stroll in and reap all the benefits. Democrats just want the extra votes by any means necessary…they will even screw over Americans. It’s truly sad. It’s land of the free…not land where everything is free. I live on the border. These illegals immigrants are messing everything up. While some do come to work and I can appreciate that…the rest are living here rent free, being fed with American tax dollars, abusing the medical system, all while not contributing anything to American society. It used to be a safe place to live here…now the crime rates have all increased. Thank you Biden. Must be nice to live north of the Texas checkpoints and body guards. All us common folk just have to fend for ourselves.

They really think theyre entitled to just force their way in and take whats already entitled to the people born here....ridiculous

The way some of them are laughing you would think that they got paid to do this. Do you see how many white people are coming across. Most of these people are criminal flieing prosecution from crime's in their country exspecily Venicewalea

This girl is crazy she better move down to the US the way she talks. Ghetto ass thinks she's special for some reason. have you seen the Edmonton Oilers hockey team? They have the most black players in the NHL since the 90's.

Rats who have no respect for their countries, and think they can just force their way into other countries to bleed that country of its money. The sooner we rise up and kick them out the better

I am a for immigrants but this need to be fixed. How to fix it, is charge American a $10,000 fine if you hire a illegal. Then make these people apply from home where we have time to check there background and then given a date to come. A wall does not work so we need drones and more people on the boarder. Most of these people do not and we only need so many fruit pickers. Also I think new immigrants should be required to take a class to learn the ways of the country so they do not accidentally cause conflicts and problems.

Who the fuck do these people think they are to force the way into somebody’s country????????

Wow these people are so self-entitled thinking they have the right to illegally storm their way into somebody else’s country.

0:35 exactly people think all of America is one way. WHEN EVERY STATE AND EVERY TOWN WITHIN THE STATES are soooooo different! Like different countries

I would be so proud of my ancestors that immigrated here if they did it this way! Pat on the back for these people that think they are entitled to come here before everyone else following the rules.

Venezuelans are tired of socialism and a corrupt government and think everything will be free here because that's what they were promised. Now our country is going the same damn way.

At this point,after Biden gave up our country to the anti freedom movement. Now all these people think they can enter our country under their own rules? Are you serious!! This is an aggravated insult to our people. Demanding is not the way!

This crap pisses me off. I’m all for legal immigration from other countries that have corrupt governments. BUT NOT THIS! Just who in the hell do these people think they are? Every single person who tried to shove their way into our country should be PERMANENTLY BANNED from ever being allowed to enter our country. No other country on Earth would tolerate such poor behavior. They just proved that they’re NOT worthy enough to be here as well. I expect the people who desire to become part of the American dream to behave in such a manner. If they want to act like wild animals and thugs, they need to end this garbage and go right back from where they came. They’re NOT our problem. And the conditions they left behind weren’t of our making. They created that mess, so they can go back and live in it. But don’t go bringing that crap here into our country. If you want to live here in the United States, then you need to respect our ways while leaving yours behind, just like every other country on Earth expects of the people that immigrate into their countries. I’m very liberal on immigration policies. But not on this mess. That’s when I put my Conservative hat on and send the animals and thugs back from whist they came…PERMANENTLY. \n\nREMEMBER…When you go and enter another country, you’re entering as a Guest to that country. You need to act civilized. If you can’t, they’re well within their rights to throw your ass back out…by any means that they desire to employ. Because when you enter another’s country, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS OTHER THAN THOSE THAT THAT COUNTRY WISHES TO EXTEND TO YOU.

As a Mexican myself, please don’t let these people through, all these people are delusional and really think they all deserve and need to live in the us…which is entirely wrong in so many ways. We need better immigration laws. Sometimes life deals me a shitty hand, and like everyone else we ALL deal with it ?‍♂️

Was thinking the other night i reaaly want to go tabasco, peoples your running the wrong way lol ?

That’s not the right way by force only gets everything worse on them people think is just to come here and everything will get fix. It takes a lot of work and years to build a good life. I think honestly I will not risk my family the way they did bringing my kids. Is a long way to put em in danger the good people chose to stay I their country even if life is hard they don’t put family in danger. I feel very sad for all and we pray for everyone I hope god have mercy In all of us

Everywhere around the world where Europeans colonized and destroyed the native people is based on white supremacy. The laws created in all of these places benefit the white citizens. Thats Canada, the US, South Africa and others. Remember native Africans have not so long ago been able to go to the beaches without being harassed by white people. But what gives them the advantage and keeps them in power is the fact that they are very good at spreading lies and stereotyping every group thats not white. And in doing so, teach every minority to fight against each other (some even defend white supremacy as long as they dont think it will affect their own race. White supremacy affects us all in a negative way.

Honestly sometimes I think as black people we are to blame. We are always complaining, we all know that the only way we can counter racism is by economic emancipation for all black people, how do we do that? Well we need to recognise and support black owned businesses, we need to be well educated and relentless in pursuing financial and mentality freedom. Let us stop complaining and invest in our selves, just then can we command the respect we deserve, in the absence of all the above, we should not complain. \n\nP.S: Let us learn from the Chinese, from being ridiculed to becoming the most important players in the global economics of the world

Why do these illegal immigrants think they have the right to just force their way into our country? Who has told them that they can do this because That's what they're trying to do just masses of them stampede into our country illegally.. Wondering why we just can't close our borders And stop allowing this absurdity. Try doing this in another country and you just might get shot.

All these people think they can just force their way in here. Ummmmm nope..

Selfish how these people are If they act like that or makes you think they're going to act like that in America. Scary protect your family because crime is going to go way up.

FUCK YEAH ??? ABOUT FUCKEN TIME SOMETHING GOOD WAS DONE AT THE BORDER GEEZ❗️ALL THOSE PEOPLE NEED TO BE SENT BACK, OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO SHIT AS WE SPEAK AND THESE ALIENS THINK THEY HAVE A FREEBIE JUST BY RUSHING INTO THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY ❗️DO IT THE LEGAL WAY AND WAIT YOUR TIME TO NOT HAVE TO RUN ACROSS THAT DAMN BRIDGE ❗️#NOMOREHOUSINGFORILLEGALS

Animals demanding their way into my country. I say immigration starts to randomly check people identification even the obvious US citizens so nobody gets their feelings hurt. Think of all the new jobs being created for ice.

Housing etc is jacked up in the US. Where do these people think they can go? The streets eventually especially with the volume of illegally entering the US. Those who get assistance in any way is temporary . Their counties having issues doesn't mean just going to the US fixes anything just to me shows they abandoned where they came from instead of coming together and helping their actual country

Need more jobs, lesser rent/lower inflation/removal of businesses not following labor laws/proper housing/homeless housing and job directories. I dont think keeping out immigrants will really improve anything, America has always been a melting pot of sorts and was ultimately built by immigrants and still relies on their affordability of labor cost. Americans are racist and afraid that theyll be knocked off the ladder by someone that will probably outwork them, then unable to afford homing, and unable to find a job themselves. They dont want to be in Mexicos shoes, Venezuela specifically, as shown here. US population has been around 54% working; while 76% from Mexico. A wall wasnt going to fix the situation, never was -- it was a bit silly dont you think? There shouldve been more put into expanding border patrol, they obviously handle it better. And claiming aslyum has backfired: theyre over-full, lack funding, and no one can remove them because it has become a neccesarity now.\nI dont think they should be denied a potentially better way of life but this wasnt as much an option as they had hoped it be.
