I'm doing just fine in Canada, where I've lived my whole life except for 7 years in Japan. Any difficulties people having comes down to the individual, not a systematic national problem. My rent in Vancouver is under $1000, because I haven't moved in 11 years. I have no debt, no car, no expensive lifestyle, no drug habit. I made good choices. Others have not.\n\nCanada is still a land of opportunity if you get a job, get your vaccines, live within your means and don't expect a 1950s style economy, anyone can do fine. Healthcare access needs improvement, but we had a pandemic. The whole world did. \n\nIf you feel like you can't make it in Canada, you have no one to blame but yourself. Everything is relative. And we are living in the safest, cleanest, most stable times ever. Certainly not the cheapest.\n\nCheers - an NDP/Liberal serial voter (and big believer in personal responsibility)

Everything these actors do is for the camera.

I live in Dubai and I know soo many Canadian by passport only who come to find job or stay in this country when Canada give them money I think its haram and cheating the Canadian who give them everything to live good life.

It’s funny; everything is getting sloppy.?

the first guy's stomach tells me everything I need to know

They corabarate with Biden & Kamala with there open border they let all those people go true here in Georgia we lost a22 year old foghting with a venesuelan rapes he kill her in 18 minutes she fight untill the last minute of her life a girl the had great future i am hispanic i came legal i am usa citense now i want Trump to kick them all out working after 40 years paying my taxes and my social security does not cover my medical bill 100% then this iligals are getting everything FREE NOT FAIR TO OUR PEOPLE PAYING THOSE TAXES

Immigrants are being used, most people put everything they have to come here and start a new life, but most people only see us as numbers , most of us don't have access to those social securities or we try to avoid using them because they work different for immigrants, while refugees come with permanent residence, without even speaking the language, and they don't come alone, they come in large groups, complete families all with all the benefits, that to me seems really unfair

Oh please, she brings up human rights, in one of the most corrupt countries in the world, with one of the highest murder rates, due to the almost complete control of everything Mexico by the Drug Cartels, she is terrified of the Cartels! Trump should declare them a terrorist organization!

They milked canada for everything now they want tk gotousa for another free handout! Deport deport , they are not in fear of their lives, just fear the bills they need to pay!

We were in deep trouble and they decided to overload the country immigration making everything worse and this put a big target on any immigrants for the public to get angry at.

I agree with you ladies about everything you both said. There is no laws or punishment for criminal students from India.

Canadian and Australia are same they need immigration as they are located far away from everything. And misconceptions of having a better life for immigration, they need new immigrantsto pay high taxes to support welfare systems. Highest quality of crime and violence with deteriorating standard of living. No longer affordable...

Everything is complaining and wants to leave, but there are still too many people... mostly Indian ?

…OHHHH CANADA ?? ✨?????????….\n\n….Canadians are not proud of anything. I have lived here for many years, and people are sad, insecure, and afraid; they do not feel good about their reality! This is NOT me saying it; it is the feeling of the real Canadians themselves.....????????…..\n\n….They filled their society with people from the third world without telling them how to handle this; they were not educated about that. ???????‍?️??…..\n\n….Canadians tell me that the little Canadian talent goes to countries that are genuinely first-world. Therefore, there is only the average Canadian in Canada, who the Canadians themselves say is very mediocre and do not like effort. They feel threatened by foreign talent and become even more insecure because they see themselves overwhelmed by third-world people whom they consider inferior.??????????‍↔️????‍?????……\n\n….And how, in reality, they are racist at heart since white supremacy is encrypted in their soul, institutions, and everything. This causes them even more frustration because they cannot be better than the poor third-worlders who discriminate so much...?????????????????????????????……\n\n….Oh, Canada❤️! On the verge of collapse....\n\n….We love Canada ?? and we wish them the best…..✨❤️?????????????……

FROM DAY ONE , EVERYTHING IS ONLY TALK. NOTHING DONE. ON JUDGEMENT DAY EVERYBODY WILL FACE ALMIGHTY GOD FOR PUNISHMENT .

Low skill and low wage might have been ok when costs were low - low food prices, low energy prices, low housing and rental costs, etc. Now that everything is incredibly expensive, Canada is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either wages will go up (which have been fairly stagnant for the last 30-40 years) so that it goes above and beyond inflation, OR you will not be able to bring in low skill, low wage labor. Simply put, when rents are $3000 a month in Toronto, minimum wage of $15/hr is $2500/mth (before taxes). Add another $1000/mth for food, and $500/mth for other expeditures - and you can see that just to survive - a person in Toronto needs a minimum of $4500/mth to not be on the streets. And this is IFF they are not married and have kids which can easily drive expenses to $6000/mth\n\nSo... for someone to just live normally, they need a bare minimum of $30/hr for 2000hr/year - this is a salary of $60K before taxes!\n\nBut the median income in Canada is 35K to 40K (it's on your tax return which determines if you get extra help from the government).\n\nSo... with these prices - you will never get low wage workers here... period. You can't expect immigrants to work as slaves and then pull your country out of the mess you created by spending money on useless programs like a drunken sailor.\n\nCut costs, cut taxes, cut inflation (stop printing money), cut useless programs (ala DOGE in the US), allow housing to crash, diversify your economy, invest in start ups and entrepreneurs, increase salaries, scrap the carbon tax, etc. Notice - none of these have anything to do with immigration.

As an immigrant, lets get real. There is this one country that makes everything worse. They are the only one in these workplaces most of the time. I know they are hardworking, but why in the world Canada allowed too many from a single country? Now people are feeling the imbalance.

Girls, your “analysis” looks more like paid propaganda from those who have absolutely no intention and will not accept the values ​​of Christian Canada, but have come to undermine its foundations and economy, imposing their traditions, their views on everything, supporting Hezbollah terrorists and others! You better pay attention to the category of immigrants of the 30s - 70s of the 20th century, and the category of those who came in large numbers since the 90s!!

Mexico is not the problem with Americans taking stupid drugs. \n\nThe problem is the greed that keeps Americans working like slaves. The bad nutrition that keeps Americans unhealthy. There was a study done on rats that if you give more sugar to rats they because dumber. Everything in most food products have a lot of added sugar. Guess who is hurting the American people first? \nWithout braincells Americans will do stupid things. You protect American people with good health and healthy products. \nStop selling prescription drugs as well teach the American people the truth. \nIf Americans were smart there would not be people buying stupid drugs from mexico.

Like everything the liberals do, they don’t think it through. However they paid tons of money to consultants who sub contract to other consultants. Inky thing they do well are corrupt practices. Enough said. ?

We are f?cked ?? this country was soooooooo beautiful and Zen before Trudeau\nWill never ever ever Vote liberals again, they wreck everything

I am waiting for provincial nomination. Even though, I still agree with everything that has been sad in this video!

People voting against their own self interest deserve everything they get. It's disheartening listening to some of the comments made by these everyday; average Americans who voted for a Grifter and Convict.

The policy matters less, the ausländeramt matters way more. They are the first contact for immigrants but their inefficiency and unfriendly manner scare many off. I’ve been waiting 2 years just for a PR application, I called, phoned, emailed but no answers at all, now my current visa is expiring and I feel hopeless. The simple “Lebens in Deutschland” test takes more than 8 weeks to evaluate which makes no sense. When I lived in Australia, their immigration office offers more than 20 languages and everything’s online and easy to contact, I got my visa within 48 hours. Germany is too lagging behind, if they don’t upgrade the system and attitude, it doesn’t matter what the policy is.

Hello Anna and Anastasia your channel is truly a hidden gem full of useful information and insight. I am an international student myself and I agree with all your points in the video, Canada used immigration to fix a deeper problem and that is its difficulty to incentivize the economy by having a heavily regulated environment, high taxes and low productivity. It will definitely alleviate some of the pressure on the system but, the real cause is still there. The first sector that is going to be affected will be the education as colleges and universities became over reliant with the revenue coming from Int. Students (which is not particularly small) and institution will need to adapt. When I first came here I fell in love with the country and I really feel fortunate to enjoy this beautiful place and doing everything to assimilate and integrate myself into the culture. I think here you can have a sense of hope of things improving in the future (something that is not the case in my home country) but if they do not fix the underlying problem it does not matter how much immigration they reduce, Canadians will not see a significant improvement. Keep the awesome work!!!

This is yes, Mexico has Mexico has killed a lot of people in the United States and make? Mexico was warned for years. Is Mexico's problems why these people are coming here? That's their people. How many people that has killed in the United States already and these borders? What are they talking about? Is they fault? It's not the United States fault. Canada is doing the same, then I do anything. They've been one for years and years and years and years. And they haven't done nothing yet. Still, American people are still dying from all these mamali's drugs. It's time that we put our foot down and stop thinking about the human beings that are dying instead of thinking about money. Money is not everything in life. It's just pays your bills.

Someone should let them know that so called better life is not waiting for them in Canada at least. We have plenty of our own political tensions, we're taxed to death, probably have the worst health care system in the world, extremely high cost of living, everything is expensive, the only jobs available are part time, crappy overpriced food, a housing crisis and brutal winters every single year.. Nothing but pissed off, miserable people here. Many Canadians I know have moved to India and love it. Come if you like but I bet you'll wish you hadn't, especially when Trudeau won't let you go back, not with your money anyway.

They said Trump believe that China, Canada and Mexico will definitely pay for tariffs but it will be the American people that see the price hike on everything

Well, she must be an awful president, that her people cant wait to get away from her.. What a bully she is... Guess what u*ly woman, we are about to tax the f**k out of every piece of everything that comes across our border. Mexican Americans AGREE... \nReply

Everything Trump touches turns to garbage. Garbage in- garbage out. Trump is garbage,

The U.S is about to get their ass handed on a platter, Thanks to those who voted this idiot in YOU will pay more for everything. Haaaaa

Trump is demented and thinks he's still in a reality show where he's the hero no matter how bad he treats everyone and fucks everything up. Thanks to MAGA we're all gonna get fkd over by his stupidity.

Justin Trudeau will do anything to stay as the Prime Minister of Canada. Jagmeet Singh will do everything to blackmail Justin Trudeau. So much East Indians in Canaqda is part of Jagmeet Singh blackmail.

Trumps division a d racist heart will destroy everything democracy built.

Tarrifs or sanction either will work stop the flow of people and drugs or everything stops.

It's the scammers in India that promise the illegals a better life in the US. They sell everything they own and borrow money to pay the scammers not knowing what they are in for when they get across.

The US unemployment rate is currently just under 4.5%, or about 7 million people theoretically available to fill job openings. \nIt’s highly likely that most of these folks are unemployable.\nSo, who’s going to work on the hundreds of thousands of factories that will need to be built in the US when trump “brings all those jobs back to America”?\nThen, on top of that, who’s going to replace the 10+ millions of undocumented workers that will be deported?\nGood luck with that, and enjoy the new, improved, and higher prices on everything you buy. \nLike they say, you get what you vote for.

They really want those “free” food stamps don’t they?\nAt the same time they feel so entitled to everything!!!\nOut out out..!!!

Who cares ??? People say they want a more ‘green’ planet and we outsource everything. ??? I’m with Trump !

Ten years ago everything one would buy in America was cheaper than in Canada now one really has to pick. Car tires, and tools better deal in Canada shoes clothing better in USA, but maybe not for long.

Claudia also informed him that 70% of the guns/weapons in Mexico are from USA.. just as drugs come into USA for Mexico, USA guns assist the crime In Mexico WHICH IS WHY Mexicans don’t feel safe in their own country.\n\nTrump need to fix him self, his country & hun control , drug consumption in U.S. before going around blaming Mexico for everything. Goofy orange one ?

America can stand alone without mexico i know everything about USA you can ask me anything about America stories i will tell you

And when prices start rising on everything, they will find a way to blame the Biden administration

Ha ha - everything he sells is made in China - what a joke.

We should all hope T rump does everything he promised as fast as he can. So the dense low information people snowed by faux news that voted for him will get exactly what they asked for. Make it swift. \nLike any addict with a damaged brain, we can't go forward until we hit rock bottom.

The Landlord and Tenant Act is long overdue for revision . A tenants credit rating must be tied to their decision to not pay rent. Go Doug Ford!!! People work hard their whole lives to purchase a home only to have a bad tenant destroy everything they have worked for. There are some pretty smug tenants in your story.

democrats have been in the white house for 12 of the past 16 yrs but somehow everything is trumps fault

democrats have been in the white house for 12 of the past 16 yrs but somehow everything is trumps fault

Mexican here living in Mexico let's close the borders and the business between our countries, let's see who survives ?? get China to provided all good and services we provide ohh yes also fighting with China ?? maybe Americans will do everything ohh wait how much you want to be pay by hour right? ??? you can't afford it, America must fall

Emma, we need to not forget that most whites are also immigrants. How many of them are in Canada illegally or do they just get free acceptance as a Canadians from Europe. They always get everything free when they get into America. I do not hear of white Europeans as immigrants in other nations countries.
