Home crisis is a global one. Canada is no exception…

Canada is such a shithole, you pay so much for so little

While affordability is def an issue there are a number of facts thrown around on this video that are making me question the data points being used. $3k rent sure, if you're downtown Vancouver and live on your own in a newer building with amenities which is what a friend of mine pays in Yaletown. But then I have a friends in KITS paying $1600, Main St $1500, Surrey $1100. There is not 7% of the population emigrating to the US. The rent can't be increased by $7000 as stated by the two girls, it's capped at around 3% annually, so not sure what the real context around that clip is. The girl who took a year to get housing at UBC - presumably she was renting somewhere else in Vancouver, I doubt she was living out of her car . Sounds like this was made with the most sensational examples which really undercts the video because I can't trust the other information about things I don't directly know. Having said that red tape has made building in Vancouver difficult and population growth has put huge pressure on the housing and rental market. Foreign investment purchases of housing has probably driven up the prices more than anything in Vancouver and as stated it has been linked to money laundering from drug money. It's the most expensive city in Canada btw, so while prices are high across the country, Vancouver is the worst of the lot, even worse than Toronto, so hardly an average example to look at.

I came to Canada 33 years ago. Canada changed a lot especially for the last 10 years

Have you ever stopped to think about why people like your wife and her family left home to come to Canada? Yes, they escaped from fundamentalism and the challenges it created in their country. When they arrive here, they suddenly become intellectuals and want to make Canada like back home! I have a lot of respect for those who have made the decision to leave. I hope others, instead of complaining and comparing Canada to their home country, consider getting on a plane and leaving.

Trudeau destroyed Canada in 9 years!!!!

Canada for the white man!!! We built it, the rest can leave

Please tell me how you are contributing to the greater good of Canada or are you escaping the horrors of your own country seems its all about chasing dollar and exploiting Canada

I would keep in mind that there's no safe place and no guaranty. Every country has it's problems or the possibilities of inheriting new ones! Our heal care sucks, but it's there and free for most. Crime is everywhere, all over the world and so is poverty. Canada has one thing you can always count on that no other place has, an alliance between all cultures and various backgrounds without prejudices. Equal rights for all. A place of common sense. You can't find that anywhere else.\n...and I'm not talking about government here. They're all shady, everywhere you go!

God Bless Canada ????

Is time to fix our country crime is up no work to many foreign workers in Canada

Canada Died about 8 years ago. Now it's whatever you want to call it but Canada has passed away peacefully...?

Real international students brings resources to Canada. Government needs to look into students that actually come not for study but to work (making money back home). Besides, why entrepreneurs and start up programs that will benefits our society gets so hard to proceed (taking over years to complete)? Why nanny home support worker can come to Canada as permanent resident so fast and easy? The people of Canada need to be aware of these strange policies that were made. The policy makers do not use their brains measuring the actual needs of Canada. They make no efforts to look into how their policies will affect the lives of the people, the system of Canada including medical systems, our infrastructure or housing. They do not care if our society can have enough to support these low skilled workers and families, and also the new refugees and families. Can our economy support all these new families? Nowadays the economy of the world is so challenging, but would these policies makers care about this? They are not stupid then there must be some reasons behind. How can the normal citizens protect their rights? BUT wait…, all these new families are growing, these new comers will protect their rights too….

The people that come to Canada are taking advantage of the kindness.

I moved here from Wales 5 years ago. I’ve been lucky enough to travel to many country’s around the world and I’ve honestly never seen anything like Canada. Most days don’t even meet Canadians. My boss is Indian, my land lord is Indian. I went to service Canada to update my driving licence and there was about 150 young indain students queuing up around the mall. When I’m lucky enough to strike up a conversation with a Canadian (born here) they seem beaten down and can’t believe the change in last 10 years…. Heartbreaking

They applied as international students so obviously they were not in any danger to justify seeking asylum later on in Canada.

What destroyed the USA, Canada, UK, Australia is the Asian invasion.

1. Here in canada they have s2pid tax bracket. I dont pay taxes from my birth country for people like me who work abroad.\n2. With electl engr degree and experience both land and sea as cargo ship electrician. Cant even work as construction electrician here in canada. My degree and experience is nothing here.\n3. Im from a tropical country in pacific with white sand beaches. Here its cold even in summer the sea water is cold. Miss spearfishing and freediving.\n4. The only thing i like about canada is its peace and order in medium to small town. Except mega cities. Infras and oads are wide.\nI will take my skill to the US.

Liberal Canada is a joke.

We’re not a dump, refuse them all we can’t afford them and there’s zero vetting in Canada putting everyone at risk……

Why? There’s no way they’ll be able to survive in expensive Canada.

It is difficult for Arab peoples to leave an advanced country like Canada, but they leave it for several reasons, including the ones I mentioned. There are also new immigrants who sell everything, their homes and lands, and go to Canada and Germany because their ideas are very old. They do not know that the world is changing.

a bit too late. they made canada a 3rd world country

They just made Canada a breeding ground because they are over populated in their country and they saw a potential place because the land is big perfect for breeding grounds.?

Send them back the look dangerous to Canada

they come here to take over our land...change canada to become india ...they will stay here no matter how...plan for replace real canadian.....now is too late...is done...already been toxic...

Any way to find a loophole. It is how they think and live their lives. Hence why the quality of life in Canada has plummeted.

1:13 Canada must stop taking refugees!! Unless you want RIOTS that happened in the UK and EU

International students have no rights to protest other than study, which is why they come in the first place. Canada or US didn’t go to india and say please come. I think Canada should stop taking students through consultants in India. It is in India that people are selling false info and the students are blaming Canadian government. Even India has immigration rules and they are also strict in enforcing. Plus international students have to pay 10x more in Indian top colleges than local Indian. Rules are rules and should be followed or don’t come.

Canada announces immigration cuts- lessening load on economy and housing market\n\nFixed it ; )

Why should Indians being scammed by Indians be Canada's problem? A country of 40 million can't save the future of 1.4 billion. Tough luck.

So let them stay in Canada.

Enjoy Canada, celebrate the best parts of your own culture and leave your hatreds and animosities at the door you enter through. Do your own taxes. Read the booklet, save some money and learn how the tax system works, and PLEASE, PLEASE, use deodorant.

Solution is not reporting solution is no more immigrants from everywhere in the world should enter Canada either for work or for studies.....so those who are in Canada should get jobs fast stop bringing more pple yet the one's that are here they're still suffering......

One day Canada will change completely into India.

Yea i use to travel to Canada like 12 times a year before Covid after Covid I came back and I thought I was in India/Middle east. I wont be coming back anymore accepting such a high number is not being diverse this is thr New India if it keeps up Canada will be ran by straight Indians with their culture

There isn’t any diversity in canada any more! Everybody is Indian !!!! \nAlso, sadly they do not try to conform to the culture of the country they’ve moved to!!! They still behave like they are still in India and that’s so bothersome to people who already live there… I think a 10% decrease of intl. students is enough or will work at all …

Truth is in the facts Statistics Canada total employed 2019 16,705,410 people after 6 million population increase with immigration 2023 only 17,644,387 employed people\nCanada does not have 5 million jobs\nMost immigrants have been working age and older from what I understand

I’m from the US, I play a language-learning app called “HelloTalk” and I see tons of Iranians learning English because they are going to Canada in the next month or so depending on the person. The last one I spoke to said they'll be opening up a business. ??

How can i i help thé study in Canada

Goodbye to everyone who wants to leave Canada,\nWelcome to those who want to come to Canada...

1906 sa balwant singh Canada ma rah raha tha biwi 1912 ma aayi pregnant ho ka how ??? \n\nOr ya phir yah bhi ho sakta hai ki balwant 1906 sa 1912 la beech ghar gaya ho apna or 1912 ma apni biwi ka saath aya ho \n\nSo make it clear nitish bhai........

I need job sponsorship to Canada while I will be returning the money with my salary

these illegal immigrants destroys canada. they do the most STUPID SHIT! they always bring their behavior in their home country. fuck those indians (not all but 90% of them)

That doesn't help if they stipulated multiple exceptions which means there still people can apply for work permit and residence in Canada. The caveat is still with holes.

As a Canadian blame the government of a Canada. We have so much Indians in our country. These people don’t like there country so they want to populate other peoples homeland.

Somebody making a living making YT videos in Canada is leaving??? My, oh my! How will we get along without her???

Eject and reject all so called immegrents. Canada is full. Then deport all liberals n ndp
