We’re do South Americans get this idea that Canada ?? welcomes evryone ?????

Canada loves to hate on US and say they are nicer and more welcoming....

Nice...... And welcome to Canada ?

Canadian here. I want to make one thing clear: *WE ARE A REAL COUNTRY WITH VERY STRICT IMMIGRATION LAWS!* I myself am an immigrant, although I came here as a baby. People seem to be under the impression that Canada is some sort of utopia that welcomes every single immigrant with open arms and sings “Hakuna Matata” with them. No, we are an actual country with stricter immigration laws than the US. Yes, we love diversity. Yes, it is our strength. But that doesn’t mean everyone is fair game. I’m not even specifically referring to this man here. All so-called refugees who already had made it to the US. If you were a refugee in the US and then come to Canada, OF COURSE we’re not gonna automatically grant you refugee status. Jesus Christ.\n\nTrudeau is not being a hypocrite. Of course we appreciate and welcome immigrants. But We. Have. Laws. End of discussion.\n\nEdit: I want to make it clear that I support immigrants. I voted Liberal and I will again. Either them or NDP. I’m just so sick of people thinking they can waltz into Canada and become a resident. “If Trump gets elected again, I’m moving to Canada!” Please ?

Americans are not welcome....only if you have a degree in Engineering...but yet allow elsalvador and others in.According to Canada people need reason or qualifications! That's a joke

Canada welcomes people who apply properly not enter illegally

US Americans moving into Canada and bringing racism with them? Where did this 'Canada is a happy, respectful and welcoming country' stereotype came from? I've seen a lot of racists videos from this country...Canadians are just like US Americans but in a passive agressive way.

What a loser this guy is. This lady is beautiful and more than welcome in our Canada ??

for people who are commenting why didn't he just do this or that with that money.... I'm from El Salvador and you have no idea how many immigrants live in the US and Canada without being able to get their legal status fixed even with money in their pockets. I have saved a bit and I want to leave, but countries are just not that welcoming.

I don't think Canada ever lied. Unlike the USA Canada does not play around. We welcome legal immigrants and bona fide refugees. Unfortunately there is a lot of greyness in what it means to be a bona fide refugee. Perhaps too many people think it means one thing. \n.\nMy heart goes out to all these foreigners wanting to make a life here in Canada - after all I am one of them. The ONLY difference between the guy in the video and me is that I was lucky to have an opportunity to get a degree'd education and was accepted into Canada.

Beware of 28 year old racist and bully Riley Dodd. You are not welcome in Canada!

I live in Toronto Canada, biggest city in Canada that have the most mix nationalities, All my neighbors are welcome in my home.

Honestly, what did he think. It is not easy when you have no education to come and get accepted. Plus her chose Alberta when there was way better choices. For example, Montreal and Toronto are better to immigrants. There is reason why is difficult also. If Canada was to accept everybody,it may not be as safe as it is now. Canada does not welcome everyone. It wants people that can be useful to society because ppl pay a lot of taxes for services and paying for someone that can’t be helpful can be frustrating for tax payers

Most of you guys are something: Canada LIVES of immigrant work force. All of You are just that, immigrants, from an immigrant family!! And yet you are so full of hate. In the country of This size there should be 10 times as many people living. But Canadians protect their comfort, their convenience( favorite word), they don't want to share.\nAnd yet you market yourself as a country open to immigrants, welcoming, nice....it is all a fasade .....

My parents came to Canada as teenagers, and they are non-European immigrants. The kindest and most compassionate people Ive ever met and im not saying that because im their son but because its true, im nothing like them anymore. Being born and raised in Canada I have NEVER felt like this is my home or that I belong/am welcomed here.

Canada is NO different than the states. I live in BC and if Donald Trump came to my town, he would get the warmest welcome he ever had. Everybody here thinks he is the second coming of christ. My Canadian community is all about racism. No protests going on around here. Everyone here sez lock up the protesters. I hate this place.

He was better off going to Afghanistan at least there they would have welcomed him with open arms unlike Canada.

I have Asian friends who changed their last name to white last names to improve their chances for higher level jobs. By the time they arrive for the final physical interview, the interviewer/ company is shocked he or she is Asian. By then, it's harder for them to be biased and have their resume thrown out in the beginning and hire him based on his pure abilities. Welcome to Canada.

How about 1st - Military, US has the best in the world, Canada... not even close, 2nd - Taxes, Canadians pays LOTS of taxes way more then Americans, 3rd - Terrorism, the US eliminate Terrorist leaders to make themselves and the world a safer place, Canada welcomes Terrorists with open arms putting Canadians and Americans in danger.

So unfortunate that other people are not oriented in diversification despite of the truth that these people came in Canada by Colonialism. \nWho are we to be mean and negatively speculate against the other people. Following them in the stores, asking them to do more workloads than the other nationalities, not welcoming them unless they belong in the white collar jobs. But then, racism widened even from these nationalities that feel they are more superior than the other nationalities. It's terrible. It's rude and it hurts so much. Covid made us All realize that we r All equal.!

Every one is welcome to Canada please and thank you.

canada be ready like europe who welcomed them

Why they need armed guards in Canada? Thought treudeu would have bongos and welcome wagons! New York State a liberal crap hole we welcome them to leave the United States. Surprised soy boy hasn’t disarmed Canada yet!

Booze hound Blair says all is good, they are interrogated and tested. Welcome to the shithole of Canada.

Well we told you years ago ,Islam is a cancer . If they wanted to live peacefully they need to let go of Islam. Dont let a single mosque to be built around you and if they can live peacefully only than welcome them else dont.\nIf a mosque is allowed so will be SHARIA LAW AND SHARIA PATROL.\nDont let mosque to be around in Canada one simple step will stop radical islam.\nIf they can let go of mosque you are SAFE.

Welcome to Canada.

Fu*CK Canada and European Canadians send dem all back to their European country of origin ? welcome to kanadjikistan.

I'm a Eastern European and I want to say wake up canada! Islam is a barbaric cult. They destroyed the paris and other parts of Western Europe. If the canadians doesn't wake up, their country will turn into a third world. Islam should stay in the middle east forever. They are ok if they are a minority but if they become the majority, sharia law will follows. There's no peace in many muslim countries that's why they wanted to go in a christian majority country and we know Christian countries are much more peaceful than most of the islamic countries.\n\nIf welcomed the third world then you will become the third world!

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.

Nothing but positive comments on Canada. When you're welcomed in a country you're treated like you are. Black people aren't wanted or welcomed in the USA but believe they are. WAKE UP!

But the system is still running and people like Sunny Wong is here to do business. Welcome to Canada. Guess what if you do this in USA, you could face long term jail time

There will be hundreds of thousands of immigrants from exclusively Muslim countries coming to Canada every year. Their children will be educated in Islamic schools paid for by your tax dollars. Imams are being imported from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to open new mosques. Welcome to Caliphate of Kanadistan. Congratulations to all of you who voted for Turdeau.

Canada is for those who have are values and beliefs. If you don't have them, you are not welcome. The country we once loved is now at risk and is becoming a country that struggles with Canadian values. Christianity, equal rights, freedom of speech and our laws. They continue to change to accept the non-sense of those who have European or middle eastern views.\n\nThanks, Justin as you are the biggest problem. 2 faced and you can bend the rules, but no one else can.\n\nTime for true Canadians to stand up and keep our Canadian Values and not change them to suit foreigners.

Leftist Politicians of Canada, US & Europe plz Question yourselves and answer Honestly, Why so many Muslim Refugees are flooding Christian European & North America, Which are infested by supposed unclean Pork Eaters. If they are really in peril they should migrate to pure Islamic Oil rich countries of Saudi Arabia & Iran or Self styled protector, Nuclear Power like Pakistan. Politicians who support & welcome tides of Muslim immigrants are doing great act of treason against their own country, culture & people.

Canada is not alone half the world is sick of the growing problem, namely ISLAM a big big thorn in the side of peace.\nIslam is not wanted or welcome in our beloved countries.\nBAN the Quran, demolish the Mosques, outlaw Halal meat, ban the burka. we must do these things if we want peace.

Canada is a big country in size, they can easily accommodate all refugees. Welcome to Canada! ??

i live in Canada and the men that came here to have a better life treat Canadian women like there dirt as we they see how the women here wear shorts ect... and they spit on the sidewalk as my friend walks by yes my friend as they all live in low cost housing which i know families wait years to get low cost housing and they were welcome with a home asap!

WHY did he think that Canada would welcome him with open arms? Why do they think like that? NO one cares about anyone else. America doesn't give a shit about it's own people!

Too bad he’s not a Muslim. Trudeau would have welcomed him with open arms. Worst case enter Canada from Quebec and well give you money and a nice hotel accommodation . Welcome to a disfunctional government.

You can probably thank Obama administration. People deserted from US military and things changed in Canada. You would probably be welcomed as a Muslim

only in Canada? They are not welcomed anywhere. They only cause problems and wars.

Welcome to Canada haha .. You forgot Manitoba

Really? Go home, Canada doesn’t welcome sock puppets

Your not welcome in Canada, go back to your sand box! Trust me, I will never go or live in the middle east! Left-wing media is a threat too ( propaganda )!??

Get them out of Canada!!!! They ARE NOT WELCOME.

Once Trudeau has gone, Canada will be even less welcoming to illegal immigrants.

A message to all Muslims in Canada your extreme belief of cutting people heads off is not welcomed there.

surprised to hear Canada didn't kiss his ass and ask him to stay. From what i understand, they are So open minded and welcoming (for now anyhow until about 25 million show up ..)  My heart goes out to any one, but we in the USA have got to put the brakes on. We can only take in so many.   Just an additional comment ...he is here 15 years and doesn't speak Englsih?????

Go home!!! Didn't bother to become a US citizen for 15 years, didn't bother to learn English, then came to Canada hoping we'll welcome him with open arms and a nice free house to live in. Piss off, maybe in your next life you'll try harder to be a legitimate citizen in the country you choose to live.

Canada has a very high standard of living, it's not exactly welcoming to people who are not familiar with that status. If you don't come prepared or think it's all gravy you're delusional, life is hard anywhere you go. We just benefit the very lazy with many welfare programs, that you can take advantage of, honestly, or dishonestly whom i know many who abuse the system.
