Canadians have voted for services they can’t afford, mis-management of government, not caring for their grandchildren or children’ future, leaving them with debts impossible to pay off. It’s amazing how Canada, but not just Canada, is intent on national suicide. Such a shame! Canada survives by selling raw materials to Asia. (China) Now that China’s manufacturing is all leaving for other countries, Canada’s income (GDP) will continue to shrink, until other countries develop enough to take over from China. However, even with that, most all countries in the world, except African ones and some middle eastern ones, have shrinking populations, leaving the world with less and less consumers. Not a recipe for a successful future.

Well good people, talent and those with work ethic will leave and Canada will continue to fill up with shitty people, who don't want to join Canada.

Until we reduce immigration and stop punishing homebuilders making new homes; this crisis will continue. It is completely manufactured by our government.

The people running away from the 'centre of the universe' or 'Hongcouver' are only increasing the cost of living as the demand for rent continues to grow and market availability declines. More than a vicious cycle being continued elsewhere in other provinces.

Shameful on the Saudis for backstabbing the Ottoman and selling the holy lands to Britain and Israel. Shame Shame Shame. They have not helped their arab brothers, and have continued to ally with the US and Britain and Israel. Shame.

Third world country folks will try to land a PR (permanent residency) in Canada (by masquerading as a 'student visa') as a holding ground. Once they obtain it, they will try to move to the USA on a work visa. It's a loophole being exploited by Indians, Arabs, and Filipinos. Non-third world country folks like and Mainland Chinese and some South Koreans & Japanese, will do the same on living in Canada then find ways to move to the USA from Canada. Sorry, but Canada is turning brown. California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois are filled with Indians and middle easterns, and same goes for most of Europe. I've worked with so many Indians and Arabs, after their USA work visa is over, so they move back to Canada and continue to work remote. It's no joke and infested with third world folks.

Canada has turned into a socialist sh*thole and the Liberals continue to run the country into the ground. Toronto, Vancouver, and the French run Canada and spend it into oblivion. Thanks liberals....

Well, you decided to return. Your decision. Nothing wrong or right about it. Whatever works for you. But one thing is certain. By deciding to return, you have taken your kids back to the land of extreme competition. You have robbed them of the opportunity to spend a comfortable joyful teen age. You have driven them back to extreme academic competition which will continue all their life. It is surprising that though you found a job and were able to manage without your husband, you decided to return back because you couldn't adjust with the food or with your Canadian colleagues. I would say that if you are moving to a new country, you should be more adaptable. And yes good IELTS score doesn't mean good English. We Indians can at best have business proficiency of the language. In order to gain cultural proficiency (lack of which was botgering you), it takes lot more time and effort. I would say you should have put more thought into your decision.

Hi, thanks for the great insight into some background information about Canada. To be honest, this really puts me off continuing my imitation process to Canada.

This isn't meant to be racist or anti immigrant, but i must point out that this entire situation you're describing is worse for Canadian born Canadians that don't have roots anywhere else. About 50 years ago, the recently deceased Henry Kissinger went to China at the behest of David Rockefeller to open up manufacturing in the country and to use US construction firms to build China into a modern society with modern infrastructure. They also took all of the manufacturing sectors that were created, perfected and relied upon by the North Americans and handed them over to foreign countries they were developing into the modern economic powerhouses they are now. \nNow that we're poor and have no manufacturing sectors to sustain a healthy middle class anymore, we welcome people from the countries who received our manufacturing sectors and have prospered greatly from it to our countries where they continue to make things here economically worse by making us compete with nouveau rich foreigners for our limited housing and infrastructure. Again, im not blaming the average citizen, North American or not. I am strictly blaming billionaires who think they have the right to control the world for their own benefit. But at least you have an economically rising country that is affordable to live in that you can retreat to at anytime. People with only a Canadian passport do not have that option.

Canada needs to tax the rich and spend less on military and subsidising oil corporations, but Canadians continue to elect right-wing governments that keep the status quo intact. Pity.

A.k.a. Muslims won’t help “Palestinians” \nThey deserve to live on their land and I guess the right to continuously attack Israel???

Nice so he does dismiss the other Arab countries not supporting their terrorist actions and wants the blockade gone to continue the holy war

What an outrageous question ! She is not concerned by the horrific atrocities taking place in Gaza and in the Westbank against the Palestinians ! They are being slaughtered, arrested and humiliated, deprived of food and water ! Iz Not Real is besieging and slaughtering the Palestinians. They need to live in peace, they don't want to leave their land ! They have the right to defend themselves from the occupation, from the oppression and from the continuous humiliations they have been subjected to for 75 years !

He is amazing may god continue to bless this man with knowledge wisdom and power .I do love to watch him him when he speaks from America.

First of all, people needs to learn how to stop pointing fingers. The Palestinians said it's their land, the Israelis proved it's their land through history. So there is no end for this finger pointing , only endless suffering when there is war. We should educate the people to advocate peaceful living for both sides not just continuously condemning one side, by doing that you are actually depriving their rights to defend themselves.

This man doesn't even love Palestinians. He should continue to push for the most difficult agenda

Hello Ms, Im a student who is planning go continue my study in Canada. Do you think their education is worth it? or should I find another place like UK or perhaps Switzerland?

why do the Arabs continue to sell oil to the West who is funding & arming the genocide?

It is not their land. You continue to use them as pawns against the Jews.

He said it: Palestinians do not want to leave their land. They do not want to continue to be refugees in foreign lands.

So she’s basically saying \nThat if Palestinian people don’t leave out the country they will continue to slaughter them .\nIf the Palestinian people don’t leave \nIsrael screams (ham)and continues to slaughter them . And if any person says stop that’s un humane isreal screams anti semitism ?

Why does the west insist on making thePalestine, refugees. They wanna have their western presence in that region till their ethnic cleansing continues. For as long as they can. \nIt’s so obvious. It was obvious in apartheid South Africa too.

The Palestinians must not leave their homeland... Israelis the one should leave. The Jews come to Palestine as refugee and should go back to where they came from. The land been and will continue to be Palestine forever. Israelis would've never make it without US and UK. If US and UK get the hell out of this and stop supporting apartheid state like Israel the Palestinians will be in much better situations right now. Free free Palestine ????????????????????????

US, UK, EU and Israel think we forgot 1948, 1967 and the continuous annexation of Palestinian land for settlers.\n\nWhat does the West Bank have to do with Hamas???? Yet settlers thugs with the help of israeli DIAPER farce annexed Palestinian land post 7/10.

Reporter is under the Murdock family paycheck. Today they want the Palestinians removed from their land, tmrw Jordanians, then Egyptian and so on so that isreals can continue ethnic cleansing with US supplied weapons.

She started like bird with smooth voice then continued the Zionist agenda...

The problem with Canada is it's a lefty environment, to say the best, it's a socialism. Until this country turn right and capitalism, it going to continue to decline.

Palestinian refugees are all over the world including Arab countries. Arab countries need to start by lifting the Israeli oppressors away from their aggression. If they want to live there in peace, fine, but for them to continue their brutal occupation and continue stealing land is just wrong.

It definitely has to be lifted by the Arab world, they are the ones bordering Palestine, and are brothers in faith with them. Not only have the Arab nations due to their corrupt governments refuse to get involved due to ties established with the apartheid state, but they expect that these blockades will cease just like that? Without any action? The Arab world has to get involved rather than give flowery talks, that results in nothing but oppression continuing. The apartheid state is seeing action from america and europe aiding them. The Same cannot be said in regards to the Arab nations providing aid to their brothers, for their governments refuse to provide any aid whatsoever.

Yea well as long as Hamas owns, operates, and moves thru Gaza the Palestinian people will never be truly free. They will continue using the Palestinian people as pawns in their pursuit to decimate Israel. That’s the main goal. All the while using propaganda as sympathy towards the west to align them to their agenda. If Hamas would just be honest about what their true intentions are instead of being cowards they’d have a little bit more respect

The root cause of frequent wars, killings, murders, arrests, harassment is that Palestinians have been removed from their land, homes and farmlands. If they can receive what was taken from them by force by the Israelis then the area shall return to peace. Simple: the occupation has to brought to an end. Period.\n\nIf the Palestinians are to be removed from Gaza and West Bank into other Arab nations that would be giving victory to the Israelis who have two main objectives: (1) to remove all Palestinians from Palestinian lands(ethnic cleansing mission) (2) to claim ownership of the entire Palestinian territory (complete occupation of all of Palestine).\n\nFor me, if it comes to the worst senerio, the Palestinians can be given an option, either to seek safety elsewhere in other nations as refugees, if they want to, or to remain on their own land at all costs. \n\nI know most Palestinians shall choose to stay back. Remember, Jerusalem is a blessed holy land for Muslims. There are so many religious benefits for staying there. Every Muslim dreams of being a frequent visitor or native of the holy land in Palestine. Infact, they await both the messiah(Jesus peace be upon him) and the mahdi who shall come to lead them in to posperity in that land. So, they are not going anywhere. The Palestinian Muslims shall continue to live there until the end of time.

These journalists take the world for fools. They can't persuade us that the Arab world needs criticism. We know all their tricks, and frankly, it's getting old. If you want to criticize anyone, it needs to be America for being the only country not voting for a Ceasefire and Israel for continuing the Genocide.

Hey reporter arent u concerned about your hypocrisy. Actually the reporters, so called journalists, should go on demonstrations....to tell the world that they know they are lying for the elites...but have no other option , then the next day they can continue their work again, asking these ironic questions.

Why should the Palestinians leave their own land - the burden of forcible transfer should not be the responsibility of the Arab countries!\n\nZionists cannot and will not continue pushing the Palestinians out and stealing their land. \n\nIt's disgusting.

This is all less about Hamas and more about ethnic cleansing so settlers can eventually move in. Isn't this is how Israel for formed in 1948? Continuing until today?

IM FINALLY STARTING TO BELIEVE IN THE SAUDIS ,PLEASE BROHERS CONTINUE THIS WAY, OUR BELOVED PROPHET MOHAMMED S.A.W WILL BE PROUD , ALLAH WILL GIVE U ETERNAL PARADISE. THINK OF THE KIDS BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

The sum total is that Saudi Arabia doesn't want to lift a finger to help the Palestinians. They will just continue to provide lip service.

Except it still won't end because HAMAS will continue to attack Israel

I really don't see the problem here. Possessing a Canadian passport is the goal; there are literally millions of Canadian expats who live outside Canada, perhaps they visit frequently, or infrequently, and many have investments in Canada. Become a global citizen, live where you like and visit Canada when you like. Canada will continue growing.

Many decades ago my wife (Christain) was a nanny to a Jewish family in a predominantly Jewish area of London. She once took the baby out in pram on the sabbath and was challenged by a fundamental Jewish man for it.\nShe says she told him to mind his own business and just walked away from the continuing verbal abuse.

Pilot to Passenger - aap sab say nivedan hai shant hojae...nhi toh may along with my staff humare pass parachute hai hum jahaz say kud rhe hai...phir u may continue then...?? Humare sath yatra karne k liye dhanyawaad ??

I was born and raised in Canada and then moved to the US in my mid 20s and it was the best decision of my life. Lower taxes, higher pay, more affordable housing, and more career opportunities. The government continues to neglect the housing crisis which reduces the incentive for educated/ambitious people to stay. Until housing prices return to normal, I think it will continue to experience brain drain.

As a Canadian, I looked into becoming an auto mechanic. Its going to take a year of school, tuition and then, in your first year, you'll make entry level wage and have to pay $3000 in tools. You might even need a truck to haul your tools around. They keep saying how they need tradespeople in Ontario, but the licensing/ apprentice process takes so long for people to transition into. Every trade is so complicated to get involved in. There is a situation where there are willing and capable people, but the admin process is too expensive and bars people who are in need of paying groceries, rent and bills. They can't find enough millrights either. Its the same problem.\n\nYou've got a surplus of willing and capable workers and employers seeking talent, but the admin process inhibits the entire process. \n\nIf I could start apprenticing on-the-job today as a mechanic or millright I would. But, I need to support family, so instead I am working readily available joe-jobs. \n\nAll trade positions will continue to be unfilled on job posting boards, while potential candidates will be busy working low pay jobs in warehouses etc. just trying to survive. Ontario is idiotic! Back in 2014 they introduced the Ontario College of Trades which only sought to take admin fees from every conceivable profession. The old bureaucratic established people in Ontario have a way of keeping everyone as peasants and minions. This is also why people are leaving for Alberta (a wise decision).

Any young person with a brain and ambition will move to America. \nAmerica, partnering with Mexico as per the new NAFTA is the future. There’s no need for America to pamper Canada anymore. We don’t develop our natural resources and we no longer have a young and skilled workforce.\nSo America has said adios Canada. \nThe next few decades will just be Canada managing this grind into the ground as we desperately try to continue to leverage the financialization of real estate to slow the fall in our standard of living.\nCanadians have voted for this again and again.

Thank you for this detailed and super helpful video. Could you please help me with one question - I followed all the steps and completed the forms for my mother and father. After that I also selected principal applicant and relationship of my mom to the applicant. However, after that when I click 'save and continue' it does not take me to the fee page but it takes me back to the group table and asks me to select principal applicant again. This has happened 10 times now and I don't know how to proceed to the fee payment page. Is this a common error or do I need to wait for sometime?

Australia has a lot better lifestyle & pay rates are significantly higher than Canada.\n\nMy husband & I are a medical professional, offered MD by Australian university with 100% scholarship along with wages in top dollars and various perks.\n\nAfter completion of my degree I wanted to explore Canada. I secured a job before moving to Canada. \nDespite everything was organised, I struggled a bit to settled in Canada, ended back in Australia.\n\nI’m happy to have one foot in india & another in Australia.\n\nSome of the issues i faced in in Canada:\n\nExtreme harsh Weather for someone with back pain etc, which I have. \n\nAgain, weather not suitable for both of our parents.\n\nWages are very low compare to Australia even after adjusting the currency difference.\nThis was my imperative requirement to support my family back in India. \n\nTax rate is higher than Australia.\n\nTechnically, pay rate is low, tax is high. \n\nAustralian universities offer better quality education than that of Canada. I need to continue my studies. \n\n\nI hope this information help someone as I wasted my time, energy & money due to the lack of information ?

If they did not have a chance to come to Canada, they would still be dreaming of coming here. Life is a continuous struggle.

The only way we can fix Canada, is to get rid of Trudeau and the liberals. They have and will continue to do as much damage to Canada as they can. I have seen a government so dedicated to destroying a country as Trudeau and his party. Truly evil.

Basically, Canada decided to wear shoes way bigger than its size. Accommodating so many immigrants without any robust planning and management was a gamble that backfired the country. While i understand a country with a weak demography requires young population to contribute ti fuel its economic engine, lack of job creation and superficially overpriced real estate are the ticking time bombs waiting to go off and go beyond control soon. \nOne thing that continues to amaze me is the tolerance and acceptance of Canadians towards failed policies of its government. The protest against vaccination gained traction, but no real voice against a problem stressing every Canadian on daily basis? \nCabada must stop comparing itself to the US that has a very well planned immigration system seeking the most talented professionals in their respective fields. Canada, on the other hand, doesnt care about the quality.\nPeople have started coming to terms that there's no merit in embarking upon a life changing or rather threatening misadventure to leave everything behind for Canada. It just doesn't make any sense
