To all people here that object to Germany not making everything English-speaking.\n\nIn my experience working with a large German corporation, when in a remote meeting of 200+ people a handful of people say they prefer the meeting to be held in English, it’s going to be in English, even if it means that the speakers will automatically dumb down the content by 80%, have problems with vocabulary, and struggle to get across the finer details. The documentation for IT stuff will be written in approximate English to please the 3-5% readers who just wanted to earn a higher wage for a few years, but not commit to the culture of their host country.\n\nIf both sides speak only a second language and not their mother tongue, what are the chances of ever feeling like you really understand the other? It’s like shaking hands wearing gloves. If you come to Germany or any other non English speaking country, and feel at home there, commit. Learn the language. Embrace the cultural differences. Germans are reserved on the surface, it takes some effort for them to warm to strangers. But given time, most of them are happy to do so, and can be very loyal friends. \n\nIntegration into the society of a country you emigrate to is a two-sided story. The host country certainly has to make it easier, but it’s still an onus on the immigrants. Not being willing to accept that the host nation is culturally different isn’t an option. English is certainly an international language, because it is the language of a former worldwide colonial empire. But that’s no reason to expect that English is enough for a satisfying integration into any society.\n\nRacism is an issue in many countries that are historically very homogeneous, and having a significant minority can actually make it worse. But that’s not limited to Germany.

Has it ever occurred to all the right wingers in the comments that the laws governing Canada's treatment of refugees are pretty standard and comparable to the rest of the civilized world? That they exist EXACTLY for people like this man? Or do you just have a complete hate-on for anyone who isn't white? ?

So this is news worthy? Or is City TV just letting everyone know how to easily bypass the legal immigration process…because this isn’t newsworthy. What a grift.

Isn’t it crazy that the government is allowing illegal migrants to go to the same exact city that was boomed by TERRORIST

I'll ask the question(s) that no one is asking. A lot of these migrants claim that they are entering for a better life because they are poor. If that the case.....why isn't anyone asking how the migrants had a lot of money to pay smugglers, transportation expenses, food expenses, etc. to make their journey???? They had money to relocate and suddenly end up poor when they arrive? No one is calling the migrants out on their lies??

From Ontario. I live in the GTA, so that exactly in Toronto, but nearby a lot of tourist attractions and somewhat near the boarder. It actually isn't that cold, but wheatear can change pretty drastically. One day its burning hot outside, the next its windy as hell.

Quick, show me where Palestine exists on a map. Also show me a Middle Eastern country that hasn't taken foreign aid. He says lift the weight like the bar isn't in Arabs hands. I refuse to look at just one side. Arabs rejected peace for war in 1947. Then they had decades worth of their own aggression. Isreal struck back yeah they go to far. If Arabs would revisit Resolution 181 might get peace…

As someone isn't arab and from a country volunteering for decades, I can confirm this guy speaks nothing, but only LIES ? God knows, that's enough for us.

With out all the swearing he’s not wrong tho is he. Most of the people in our country ?? have had enough of all this and our pathetic government needs to step up and do something asap as if not the people of our country will, it’s just a matter of time well it’s already started. I just don’t get why come to a country that has total opposite of views, culture, traditions & religion, why not go and live in a country that has the same views/culture etc as you do, surely that makes more sense to do, doesn’t it? oh wait just remembered they don’t give you free handouts and free houses and free healthcare etc etc and free this and free that which you lot think is free in my country ?? which by the way it isn’t FREEEEEEE it’s our bloody taxes that pay for it all. Time our government ?? grows a pair and don’t care what other countries think of us and do what your people wants and that is we want our country’s?????????????????????(Northern Ireland)?? BACK and to feel safe and feel that our children are safe which at the moment none of our children are ? and you lot are doing a piss poor job of protecting us the people and our beautiful countries?????????????????????(Northern Ireland)??.

The war should be stopped and a peaceful solution reached by BOTH parties because Israel isn’t going anywhere. When the British toppled the Ottoman Empire (early 1900s) and claimed their spoils of battle (land) they created what became modern Israel as is the rights of a victor in battle……BUT Palestinians were also carved out land to live in that region so they must be able to co-exist peacefully somehow. Palestinians were migrating out incrementally even when their were no active immediate conflicts because that’s what people do in search of better quality of life, it just usually always happens to be western countries they migrate to on their own volition ? countries can solve their own problems by limiting their migratory intake yearly across all categories instead of trying to assert blame to countries like SA, this is reasonable.

Does the guardian ever read the comments? There is clearly an outcry … the public sentiment is clear … immigration isn’t working

This is England we reserve the right to drink when we want your in England this isn't Iran get out of our country kier starmer your friends here are getting on our nurves

I'm not at all in support of whatever Indians are doing in Canada just saw a news they are protesting increasing their permit or whatever to 5 years (its 3 years usually from what I saw in those videos) when it is about to expire... isn't it embarrassing to do all that in other country ? \n\nAlso Indians blame each other Punjabi's did it or Gujrati's but they should know foreigners don't see them as Gujrati's or Punjabi's they see us as Indians plus south Indians are on next level I saw a comment saying don't include south Indians when you say Indians like bruh does that even make sense? then just call yourself South and not south 'Indian'

If you know what’s good for you, avoid Germany by all means. It isn’t what the media makes it seem. Major housing crisis, micro/subtle racism, dealing with the bureaucracy and worst of all “Steuer, teuer… Germany isn’t for the weak!

Wanted more money isn’t asylum.

Dear English speakers, I hope the U. S. Gets easer for you to move to!( but), VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN ! ! When you get here. Democrats here want to make it socialist like what you’re fleeing from.California,N.Y. ,isn’t like Republican States,Texas,Florida,Indiana,Ohio.

UBER definitely doesn't care about dogging Americans! That company isn't even from here! So stop doing rides with them, let them drive illegals around! ?

Isn’t diversity from multiple countries?

After a while, it's also burdensome to put up with the attitude of employers. Germany does have a high level of protection and security for employees, many times HR departments don't apply the same rules for natives and foreigners.\n\nThis isn't just the case for hiring, but also for employees with existing contracts. Which is illegal, but they are doing it anyway. If you ever come into a situation like that, make sure to document the incidents. You can ask for legal support in such cases. Definitely do not ever start working for a German company without legal insurance.\n\nI'm glad to leave from here soon!

canada isn't the place it used to be, a spoiled girl doesn't feel safe and comfy. What a drama. Move to US what else you Canadians can do. True hero......to much bla bla

Hardest part is this was all a highly predictable outcome…I remember clearly those warning what the trajectory we were on would lead to all of what is going on now…these warnings were back in the 90s early 2000s and all those people were dismissed for various reasons and called old world thinkers and intolerant and so on…It makes me wonder if democracies can exist or continue…the average person isn’t socially savvy enough or educated on civics and will fall for leaders promising free stuff and you-topia visions.

This isn't a big issue. How many flightcrew actually did this? \n\nMaking a big point about maybe 10 ? 20 ? people doing this is nonsense.

I found this video annoying that there isn’t a payoff. Feels like you wasted 15 minutes of my time. Would have appreciated you saying at the beginning you weren’t going to say it. I realize you don’t value our time and probably won’t read this. Hate when creators do this. Drag shit on just for more views.

Indians creating quick access to permanent resident schemes in Canada is an issue.\n\nStill, so much of the population earns under $50k where they cost the govt more than they contribute. There isn’t enough housing for all Canadians excluding all temporary students. \n\nThe problem is that to be “nice” and hand out PR is political suicide for the liberals because all Canada felt this impact. Every year the housing going up 10-25% as there are so few rentals. \n\nEven Canadians who never voted right wing in their lives will vote conservatives next election and not out of racism, but self survival (food, rent, employment, community health)

How did y’all miss that he refused to take in refugees? He isn’t fighting Isreal so idk why y’all are saying he’s treating the problem.

As an immigrant in Canada, this countries infrastructure simply isn’t built for the progression it’s tried to achieve, hence the failure. I’m leaving in December to go back home as even though I earn really great money, it’s just simply not the lifestyle reflected by what I put in.

Twice as many asians in the world as europeans including russia. Twice as many middle easterners\\hispanics\\indigenous in the world as europeans including russia. The politics isn't effecting the lives of the people making the decisions on immigration.

I agree, if you don't like it here, you should leave. However, the challenges we face in Canada are not unique to our country. It's easy to believe the grass is greener elsewhere, but I'm willing to accept both the good and the bad, and I haven't lost hope that we can fix Canada from within. Of course, this requires believing that change is possible and being willing to contribute in any way you can. Frankly, I find your attitude defeatist. You're happy to enjoy the good times, but as soon as things get rough, you're ready to leave. It makes me wonder if our current situation isn't partly due to people's unwillingness to do more than complain and run away when things get tough.

The problem isn't the gangs or the cartels or even the politicians , the problem is the people of New York who keep voting trying to get more and more handouts and welfare benefits for themselves , when they do this they don't realize that they're demanding welfare for everyone.

Which country is not currently violent? Maybe Middle Eastern and some Asian. All countries experienced a decline in security for a variety of reasons. \nThis isn't just in Canada.

An actual immigrant will move to a country, learn its laws and culture, and respect both. That isn't what's happening, and that's why people are fed up. This isn't nearly as complicated as people are making it.

Countries i could try after my masters in Germany that isn't hostile

News are shown only when if it suits u. Isn't it

Isn't that the truth Canada when to hell the last 9 years

Take a look at sweden where there was public housing available for the newcomers and you can't help but conclude that it isn't just a problem of infrastructure.

This isn't migration. It is invasion, colonization, and genocide.

Isn 't it true that Canada today resembles the situation of the late 80s and early 90s of the USSR ?\n\nI think that in order to fix this wrong path into chaos, first of all, all of us Canadians need to stop lying, to each other and most importantly to ourselves....

I left 10 years ago and am much happier for it. It is so sad to the state of things today in Canada. Of course, living overseas isn't for everyone. But for me, the quality of life is vastly better than in Canada.

For an skilled and experienced engineer isn't a real heaven, since the fact that you're accepted for a Master degree in any university,but aren't accepted in the professional association , it's degrading and disappointed. Plus the country is un endlessly full of people, a population of 128 millions in just 400k km² means a town every 20 km in any direction.

They keep calling it extremism … it isn’t “extremism” … it is standard, orthodox, Islam. \n? ? ?

She isn't at fault, she learnt it from our own current government motto which is borrow now and pay later ?\nU reap what you sow! \n\nIf u want to fix the problem then destroy the root cause of it. We the people are the Manager, it's time to fire this current guy and hire a new normal one. Problem will be fix!

Hmm, it's not cool but this isn't a language accurate reflections of what's going on out there

Landlords do not want to rent their places because of stories like this and THAT is why there is a shortage of rental housing in Canada! Why would any landlord want to put themselves in such a vulnerable position, potentially not getting rent and in turn not being able to cover their OWN mortgage. Does the bank let people not pay their mortgage for a year?! No! I know so many people who have empty suites that they won’t rent out because they are worried about tenants not leaving when it isn’t working out or when they want their space back etc. It’s so frustrating as an owner and parent of kids who are getting older and who are looking for rentals. If the tenancy board can’t do their job then get rid of them and hire new people who can.

Canada isn’t a free country compared to the United States where we still have freedom of all speech and the right to bear arms. If the United States goes any further left I will leave. Might be by the end of the year.

'Influencer' isn't happy that her lazy youtube life isn't paying off.. seeya, bye!!

So he rented out his retirement plan ? Kinda dumb isn't it ? Guess what ? You ain't retired if you are waiting for a rent payment ....Zulu

This is not a Canadian thing, there isn't a single western country where anti-immigration sentiment is not increasing.

Canada isn't involved in a ten-year war (as for now) , maybe that's the most important

Canada definitely isn't perfect. But I want to hear about which countries are doing better that are stable, democratic and have human rights. And Canada isn't just its large cities.

Isn't European countries against any form of non-europeans immigration?
