Chinese president was going to go back but then thought “ naaa he’ll figure it out”

He thought he was going be kidnapped

I lived overseas for a few years. When I returned to my hometown, I thought I was in India. And all the jobs gone or paying worse than before.

That's a shame. It's come to this. I always thought Canada was a place to live!!

What’s immigration like with nursing? I’ve been debating coming over from UK to Canada for 6 months, a year or 2 in a few years when I have more RN experience and have saved money, but with all the things I’ve been seeing online about the housing crisis, cost of living and immigration problems it’s really putting me off. \n\nAny nurses from Canada here got any views or advice on this? Is it difficult to find employment as a nurse in Canada? I thought there was a big shortage of Nurses in the country.\n\nMy other idea was Australia but they seem to be struggling with a housing crisis too ?. Also a lot further away from the UK than Canada. Pay and work-life balance seem better in Australia and so is the weather. Ahhhhh, who knows

Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

I live in New York. Been wanting to leave for 10 years now because I wasn't able to have a social life here. I met a friend that is Canadian and thought leaving the the US might be better. I would like to give Canada a chance.

These are the same issues the U. S. Is facing now. The EU was established to help European nations address these issues. Would a U.S. Canada union modeled after the EU have a positive impact on these issues in both countries? It is an interesting thought.

Please dont put down Canada, I worked for a guy that was from Brazil, he would always complain about Canada, he had a successful business here. One day I finally had enough, Told him to go back to Brazil, And then QUIT on the spot in front of staff, I felt so good, I said what all the others always thought .

I thought the Indian economy is booming at the moment....No?

I think trudeau has learned punjabi and hindi and seen the videos posted on youtibe about about negative publicity done by PR’s coming from india. He thought Indians are never go na be happy no matter what good we do for them. That is why these changes happened ?

I thought Trump built a wall.\nIs it a waist of tax payer’s money?

Thought this was real till I saw it was cnn

At first I thought you meant '' feathers'' but no you're talking about '' dots''. I mean there is a difference between '' call center Indians'' and '' casino Indians''. If don't understand what I am saying you are not an American.

Indians huh? I thought all immigrants were Mexican ?

They thought Nixon and Regan was bad wait until God shows who is really in Control

He thought this woman would back down, does he know us women we don't back down to bullies like this fool. Women rule!!!!!

I thought Mexico is richer than America?

These Indians are destroying Canada and United. I went to Canada, and I thought I was in India. That is definitely destroying the demographic of the country.

They saw a dude running up and thought it was a threat.\n\nSo they stopped him and locked the doors.

4 years of backward, no thought, no knowledge leadership, and that is the fault of the voters...\nIf covid didn't devide families & friends.\nThese votes and decisions of some will seal the devide.

But i thought trump was going to be the new Hitler? Now its just tariffs with mexico? That doesn't sound so bad. Make up your minds

What Canada? I thought you talking about the India’s norther America region.

Tariff this Tariff That! WOW prices are going to increase? Who would’ve thought ??

Comrade Commissar Acosta is back on? Hadn't seen him in a while. I thought he was laid off or voluntarily checked into a funny farm to deal with the election loss he helped cause.

Strange how you never mentioned the president of Mexico's name. The president of Mexico is President Claudia Steinbaum Pardo. Just thought you needed help researching. Since you didn't one mention her name.

Mexico got a president? ? I thought the cartel ran that country

I know there are more serious issues but as a GenX I never thought I’d see a high-top fade on CNN. I’m so proud of this young man’s parents.?❤

I thought Kamala was the border czar? Maga world is schizoid

maga supporters are like the ex wife. She got away with massive fraud in court. I thought the fraud was so obvious that the judge would get ticked that she was using him and the court to implement the fraud. The judge, like maga supporters ignore the obvious and go for the illusion. Its been a very difficult time watching my son get used as a prop in fraud activities. Non maga are being used by maga to support fraud. If maga had to pay all on its own, there would be no money to work with. maga is irresponsible like the ex but the ex used fraud to get the judge to order me to pay for her faked problems. maga is using fraud to get the rest of us to pay for their attempt to alienate us from freedom. It seems some ppl crave power (or live like rats in fear) and will destroy their own lives to obtain the imaginary power. Its imaginary because they will always be susceptible to the next con. God, give me the strength to survive and thrive in these difficult times.

I thought our president will bring the prices down as he promised during the elections; at least gas prices!!!!!, I'm very disappointed.

I thought I was hearing Fox news, but nooooo, it's the fucking crazy and liars CNN. What the hell I'm doing here? I'm out

Im mexican, and all this makes me sad, cause president Trump make American citizens to believe we are all criminals, bad people, that all of us wants to go to USA. And that is not true, a lot of us are happy living in our country, work here, and be with our loved ones here in Mexico. A lot of Mexican people are good people, people that work very hard and people who have big hearts. I hope that American citizens see this. I hope that the thoughts of American politicians are not the same of the American citizens.

in my work we have mostly immigrated east Indians from various area's 5 white males and 2 white females the rest in our local branch out of 47 employees are non white keep in mind though that is a ground level branch number up higher are wealthier white manager positions were the ratio is primarily white bodies but one thing i hear them saying a lot is that they do not like going back home that when they do they are targeted as wealthy off the planes and are stalked and targeted apparently one thing i never would have thought is they also say there is a ton of roaming mob crime in india that girls and men are targeted who are of native blood and that even in there homes they are not safe so i mean if we bring in majority young males from these regions you have to think that bad habits come with them i would probably disagree if the majority were young girls mostly because i dont think any culture has a surplus of problematic immigrating young women it just doesn't happen

I thought he said he will deport 20 million people in the first day.

Mexico and South America thought them productions was gotten be reestablished to them.. and tax US as the middle man with the help of china billion dollar import in Peru, and choke hold on them minerals within the Caribbeans… it looks like a transfer of wealth was cooking up with the full support from the ?donkey party.

?I thought we where UNDER ATTACK BY BLOOD THIRSTY, INSANE MIGRANTS WHO EAT PETS AND LITTLE AMERICAN CHILDREN!?? trump is the ONLY ONE WHO CAN MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN ACCORDING TO HIM AND HIS CRAZY MAGA CREW!

All these morons thought this idiot was going to lower prices of food, goods, and gas. Good luck with that. \nHis first day in office he is going to put huge tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico. \nThis in turn will make prices go UP considerably, Simple math Trump could never understand. \nOh, and wait until there is NO ONE to work the fields . Vegetables and fruit will be sky high. \nUnbelievably, this is what people voted for

I thought he only becomes president in January - why is he and everyone else including the media and the White House acting as if he already is the President? 3:22

In 1930 American politicians decided to significantly increase tariffs \nand 25 other countries immediately responded by imposing significant tariffs\non American products and the trade war made the depression significantly worse.\n\nTrump's trade war won't likely lead to a depression but it will make things \nworse for almost everyone.\n\nExpect higher inflation, economic stagnation and also economic disruption \nas American companies can't suddenly and magically create new production \nto replace imports and can't do it as cheaply or they would already have been doing that\nand American exporters are going to face tariffs and sanctions imposed \non their products by other countries.\n\nThe extremely integrated car manufacturing industries in the United States, Canada and Mexico could be thrown into chaos.\nAn average car part crosses a border about 8 times during production.\nHow the heck do high tariffs deal with that standard car production situation?\n\nTrump would know all this if he thought about history or\nabout how the North American economy works or thought at all\nbut thinking is not something that appeals to Trump.\nInstead he just spouts out whatever random idea pops into his head \nand calls it policy.

I thought indians were classified as white in a America...lol

This is why Kamala thought it was common sense. No way is America ?? voting for higher prices while complaining about prices right now. They did, they did.

Sounds like CNN is siding with a foreign government over their own!! I thought that was taboo according to CNN!!

Damn what do the Dems have to do with this story? I thought it was about Canada..... Plus y'all got your GOP in so you'll never have to vote again. Y'all just ain happy.... Ya won but ya still ain happy.... Smh....damn?????

He definitely thought It was a set up?

just a thought of logic:\nokaaaay and while they aren't able to take advantage of having their land have to flee bcs there are military operations against terrorists under their population, the population should be given the right to flee to countries of equal culture, language and religion or additionally, that are geograohically closer to reach than Europe!

What is an immigrant? I thought everyone was brainwashed into calling them newcomers now?\nNot wife, it’s partner now.???

I remember decades ago, when I rented a 3 bedroom 2 bath home for $600. I thought that was so expensive. ?

I thought Biden won't deport??? Now the election is over we hearing all the deportation Biden did?

You can run all you want to! Latinos’s thought they were doing something, you voted against your family and yourselves ?
