Somebody tell how expensive it is to live here people can’t even keep up with their rent. Imagine if we took everybody in it would be a disaster.

Only took 6 years !!!!

About F@#$ ing time! Took me 6 long years to LEGALLY migrate here

A failure in governance that this took so long. ?

Wtf took so long, govt incompetence

I don’t understand why they go through all this when all they have to do is form a militia over through there government and get it under control people don’t realize how much blood it took to make the United States where it is today

As a LEGAL immigrant, it makes me mad seeing them feeling entitled enough to try and forcefully surpass the steps it took my family 11 years to go through.

2000lb jdam just 1 or 2 is all it would have took

They been doing this since Biden took office. They just showing one video of it today

This is happening because Biden took down the policy that Trump put up blocking all immigrants coming into the country blame Biden for this

Really I'm shocked\nLiterally when I applied I got a call from Canada and I successfully reached Canada in 3 days. I went in a Pizza shop then I ordered for a pizza ?. When I took a bite of the pizza suddenly I woke up and I was on my bed ??

I don't think that they did that because is good back in their home but America will not help them they took el chapo and the rest of the gangs still k°°° people there and extort but America don't care they just cared about what they wanted to put their hands on....

Funny this is how the U.S. took over the west. They concocted a propaganda campaign “The Gold Rush” to populate the west (California) where thousands of Mexican landowners were chased off or murdered for their lands. By 2050 the west will be “brown” again.

Its been like this for about 3 years now. About more than 8 million went in the US since biden took over.

I am half Mexican and this is unacceptable!! This is nuts! But to be fair We/ Americans took there land. Tejas/Texas, California, New Mexico, Louisiana purchase. Venezuelan/Mexican/Puerto Rican/costarican/Colombian/Chile/are all Spanish.

All this started when Biden clowned administration took power. Influx to US and Canada will be a sess pool of people leeching on the system and ruining healthcare for hard working people. As if it wasn’t bad enough already.

Enough is enough something has to be done about the Spanish population I live in Baltimore and they pretty much took over my city it's like there a plague

We have more than 6M illegal crossings since Biden took office and still democrats are proud of that. Not everyone is an asylum seeker, most of them are fraudulent.

This is what you’re reporting? Let’s cover the 5 million people plus that have already entered this country illegally, yes illegally since Biden took office. We have two more years of Biden, and I predict a minimum of 15 million people will enter this country illegally, (lots of unknown god always come in the middle of the night, do you think they wish this country well? ). it’s a catch and release program!!!! Then illegal aliens can show up to a sanctuary state and get everything paid for. EVERYTHING!!!! Even a drivers license, voting rights, school. Who pays for that? Hard working honest taxpaying citizens. Complete and total insanity .These people will never leave this country. Some probably do need asylum, but the majority of them are working the system. Regardless people should be filing for asylum in their own country, and should only come to our border when there turn in line comes up. No easy fix, but letting people in with catch and release as the policy, with a court date more than 10 years down the road, is not a way to do it. Not to mention, there’s a lot of aliens, that did it the right way, and all of these illegal aliens are taking cuts. Our border is in complete and total shambles. CNN please please please have somebody down at the southern border every day, at different points of entry, and report on that. There is operational control at the border, but it’s by the cartels not the US government. I live in a border state, I have watched this my whole life. I have never seen it like it is right now. It is insanity. It’s a straight up invasion.. it’s hard to imagine unless you see it first hand. Which I do..

Gee , CNN reporting on something about the border ! It only took the migrants entering Canada for that to happenn ! Texas , New Mexico And Arizona need to call the National Gaurd to their borders ! Arizona and Nevada would need to call them to the California border as well !

They should not think that because it's easy for them to cross the border of Mexico to the US, they will think that they can cross from the US to Canada. It took me 8.months before I came here and be united with my husband.

Americas took everything from all countries, then they ask why do people want to move there.Well, guess what , the wilderbeast will always follow the rainbow!

Congrats CNN it only took you guys 3 years & 4 million illegal immigrants before reporting on this.

Took me ages to get a PR despite coming here for my masters in automotive engineering through a student visa and securing a high ranking R&D job for a major car maker. \nI understand some people are facing unsurmountable odds just to survive in their native country, but a whole lot of the illegal aliens are doing this because they were rightly rejected by the authorities before.

Yeah they get to come in and do what they want to enter and my grandma grandpa had American children ,and they came to America for better life but they deported my grandparents back and my uncle aunts had to be taken from from their own parents the United States of America took my aunt's and uncles away from their parents and stuck them ine Forster care took their brothers and sisters away from each other these people come to America for their life and get to stay and my mom parents gotten deported and I never learned who my grandparents were not even my older siblings so how do they get to come live a good life ???? and my mom uncle and aunt couldn't have a life like theses people have today tomorrow and always

i am by no means against immigration but it needs to be done legally. im an immigrant myself and it took me years to get thru work permit, landing and PR. yet those\nppl can just cross the border illegally and claim asylum right away skipping the queue. that aint right...

Send them back. I came to canada in 2017 as an international student, paid shit tons of money for housing, tuition fees. Worked full time after graduation,yet my immigration process is taking long. Evey step I took went through proper screening, and yet it's taking forever. Send them back. At this point theres no gurantee for people like me to get permanent residence over here. With all the back logs etc. So why should they be granted status, while my work permit expires in 6 months and immigration officers wont bother to answer my phone calls for extension. I have paid my taxes, I have obeyed the law. I'm a law abiding citizen. At this point, I'm even thinking of going back. This country wants new talents and more people to add to their workforce. But if they treat people like me like this. Then we might as well go back.

Of course they feel safe and super secure here in Canada because the govt will provide them everything, food, shelter and the monthly financial allowances. On the other hand, Canadian govt is getting credit and be known as the best humanitarian country in the world with the expense of its citizens working hard to earn a living. I am just voicing my sentiments here coz it took me 10 years before I am reunited with my family here. I was a nurse back home and in UAE entered here as caregiver. Before get back to my profession, I underwent many struggles and hardship. And still striving to live a comfortable life since everything is expensive now a days and govt seems no care to its citizens. instead, looking after of their world image. And I know a lot of people spending thousand of dollars for student visas to to enter legally here with their family back home financially drown with debts. And Some working visa still waiting for years get their open permit and Permanent res up now.

USA and Europe now paying for all the countries they stole leveling countries to the ground war on terror only USA Europe are the wolfs in sheep's clothing people starving have no futures so they coming to ours more to come trust alit more ppl want the spoils riches USA Europe took from there homes

The immigrants that got here legally stand against this. My grandparents took years to get here legally

So Republican are say bad things about Canada well we are bunch of suckers because mayors of New York give them tickets to go to Canada but republicans are say we sending refugees to United States not true we took in 250 thousand in three years from upper New York rock and rd in province of Quebec so tell the truth

Blackface N@zi dictator Justine?Trudeau loves keeping Roxham Road wide open! Since the Liberals took over in 2015, immigrants have cost Canadian tax payers $67 BILLION dollars on hotel rooms, food and ⚓️ babies alone!! #FJT.

Are they asylum seekers or trying to avoid the immigration process,there is a difference. We do not have enough housing for Canadians to live in,shortage of doctors,nurses and ER's in hospitals close down frequently. My dad had to immigrate to Canada first,have a sponsor and a job before my mom and myself and brother could immigrate. In total it took 2 years for him to have enough money to bring us to Canada. So for me this just looks like jumping the que.

You know the border thing is a MoneyGram they keep putting all this money in the border and nothing's being done. But I find it totally amazing when the 10,000 Haitian showed up they were gone within a week and they bulldoze at the campsite you can't get rid of these people that's bulshit do the same thing with them you did with the the Haitians black people you put them on buses and airplanes and took their ass back to their country and told those people don't let him come in no more and that's what you do you set your border up and get those people to hell out of there or here's a better solution they come here to work you take them down Florida where that hurricane devastated a lot of different counties and you let them help me build that just like California they need help for migrant workers right now to rebuild that devastation in California that's what you do with a view got infrastructure money you got covid money use that money for these migrant workers to rebuild these devastated cities

Det took errrrr jerbbbsssss

So where’s trump wall ? \nO yea he took your money fools

I am one of the persons who worked in Canada for 8 yrs and voluntarily took transfer with the same company back to India. My savings and quality of life is much better in India.

M shocked recently TIBETANS\nR not allowed to perform peaceful dance at public place \nEven at restricted time frame\nWhy?\nWestern love, appreciate , glorify, help to promote anything which they extenguished or executed like RED INDIAN CULTURE, but u r alive and APPEARS to be ATRRACTIV, GOOD, SUPIRIOR and threat to there culture\nThey will do anything to STOP\n\nSame IDEOLOGY like CHINESE or MUSLIM\n\nLook at INDIA \nALL inclusiv CULTURE. No issue whereever u can u can dance, EXPOSE and promote CULTURE\n\nTHATS WHY THIS PEOPLE took thousands of Tib to become better SILENTLY but NO CLAIM or NOICE of CULTURE PROMOTION allowed in PUBLIC coz they \nR HYPOCRATES/ SHAMELESS\n\nWhy r they not allowing GORSHEY in PUBLIC\nwhere U PEACEFULLY promote, advertise, expose and develop ur culture?\n\nMy OBSERVATION about WESTERN HYPOCRACY towards TIBETAN, INDIA r visible. This people talk in Public bla bla to fool the public, but BUSINESS and MOUTHPIECE of CHINA as usual.

While it's hard to get a family doctor, medical care is not unattainable. There are walk in clinics, urgent care centers and emergency hospitals. \nHere you were treated according to the urgency of your situation. It's called triage. If you are fine your doctor will send you home rather than pay for unnecessary test. However if you have a legitimate medical issue or strong family history of serious medical issues your doctor will order will order testing. When that testing will be done depends on the urgency of the situation.\nFor example: It took 2 weeks to get a lump biopsy, results came back with cancer cells, surgery wait time was 3 days. If I needed a hip/knee replacement I'd be waiting 3 months. The emphasis is on preventive medicine.

As a Canadian I am the first to say Canada is gone from what it used to be ....It was a beautiful country and way of life until *diversity is our strength* BS took over from the woke lefties....if you are a NORMAL person I would suggest you never try Canada to be your new country,,,,,,

Ok Im not even a quarter through and this video is DAMN WOKE. White people in the banking sector are racist according to this video. Maybe its based on qualifications and skill? You want to see a failed system based on diversity and inclusion. Look no further than the Liberal Govt. where Trudeau has put many in his cabinet who are not qualified but based on their gender and skin. Why is CANADA in this state? All you have to do is look back at the track record since Trudeau took office. Every liberal town or province has become a shithole, and this has been pretty consistent even when you look south of the boarder. Want to know what works? Natural diversity, not forced diversity. If you introduce multicultural immigration, it allows those who come in to adjust at a normal and consistent pace. This allows immigrants to get the education they need, the job they need, and the position they are qualified and skilled for. Forced diversity only breaks the system, and immigrants gets lost in it and are not able to get the necessary education and skill they need. Therefore, you have the lack of diversity in any corporation or business that are operating today.

You took every word out of my mouth ?. I'm thankful for the good I've learned and lived. But the downs are bigger than the ups. So I totally agree with you guys.

Very true. I moved to Canada at the age of 20 going on 21 in 1990 and in a few months, I am turning 54. I've been to college twice and I could not get a job in the fields I studied for; instead I am working in a factory and I've worked hard. I'm on medical leave, but I'm now waiting to return to work and my employer has not been making it easy to return. I plan to return to my home country once I retire, because I hate winter weather and when it gets cold, my arthritis flares up and it will get worse as I age. It's very expensive here, car insurance, house insurance, phone bills, grocery bills, property taxes, and federal taxes. You work and work and you get 2 weeks vacation and sometimes, you don't even get to enjoy it. I remember getting sick when I took my holidays. You work long and crappy hours for just enough money to pay expenses and you don't really get to enjoy life. Canada is a beautiful country, but when do you get time to explore and enjoy it? Right now for me, it seems to be when I retire I'll be able to do that, if I can afford it (remember, taxes are high).

I’ve watched the video and I’ve read many comments. My message it’s to immigrants, Canadians & everyone. Just be some patient to read for you to think reasonable after this. I’m sure you’ll start to be reasonable regarding Canada. I had a good life good job & a nice home in Ukraine. Due to the barbarian russian invasion my family & I fled the horrific situation in Kharkiv city. I was driving a mini bus of 4 families! Most are children. We’ve arrived to Europe. Crossing many countries (Poland, Czechia & Austria) we’ve arrived to the country leading the EU. In Poland & Czechia, we’re treat very good by the people. In Austria we got hardly a payed hotel where children could get a rest!!! We still didn’t understand why they don’t want to give us rooms despite we’re paying for our staying!!! In Germany, I believe that the government did its best. But the number of comers is huge! Of course many they got disappointed as happened with me! But I still understand and believe that really the government & people did theirs best. So fast I got a job! The social connection helped to introduce me to the company! But i was not hired, I still to express myself & my qualifications. The manager was understanding, so he accepted to communicate in English and to offer me the job in case if I am successful doing the job during the first week at the site. I had to change the machines menu into English. So the manager was very satisfied with my job and I got that job. The rent! You’ll get it only if you receive the blessing of each member of the county and a very strong social connections! The doctors! To make just a blood work for my son it took 45 days of waiting! To get the doctor appointment, you need that a German guy call and get you the appointment! Because when my wife called, the secretary said: we don’t speak English! But when my wife went for her visit she figured out they’re speaking English better than her!!! My son has an issue of hyperactivity, so they refused to accept him at school more than 3 hours a day! And he was excluded from the birthday parties of his colleagues aswell other events! Other Ukrainian children, they were just attending classes! Just a show! No body cares how help their integration! About, the taxes! The half of my income was going to the government! The money back?! Only 200 euros/ month for my kid. And nothing else. Nothing! To get a neurologist appointment for my son it was necessary to wait 3 months! Prices?! Everything expensive! Technology?! Not better than Canada at all. Bureaucracy, Canada is much less. Banking system, Canada much better. Where in Germany?! The best province in Germany “Munich”. Where people stoped long ago dreaming to purchase a home. Guys, Canada doesn’t through broken people as we were in camps! Where nothing is human there! Canada doesn’t enter you in cercle of hell bureaucracy just to get your kid into school! And if he needs a support he get it right away without any background that he’s not our!!! I got a good job in Canada; so fast. Without any social connections because simply I do not have any. I rent an apartment for my family, without to proof to the landlord that I’m the best guy in the world with a witnessed county about that!!! I want you to be sure, that I am not the lonely case. Just ask Ukrainians stied in Europe for a while before they move recently. Just ask them. I am not saying it’s a paradise or cons don’t exist. Just paradise doesn’t exist! And cons are everywhere. Just I want you to be fair about Canada. Please, be reasonable! The cons in Canada are not catastrophic, and it’s not difficult to fix them. It may take some time, but not difficult. Believe me it’s not about only Canada. The whole world is going a step back! I wish that my experience, helps to understand appropriately.

I moved to Canada in 2003, I think over the past few years things really took a turn for the worst and alot of the issues we're encountering now are mostly a result of government incompetency \n\n1) Instead of focusing on treatment and recovery we prioritized harm reduction and drug decriminalization which largely results in the current mental health/addiction crisis \n\n2) Instead of seeing housing as a public need, policies make housing investment vehicles (notably for rich folks in foreign countries) and locals can't really afford to buy or rent as a result\n\n3) Instead of building mass transit infrastructure including subways/light rail we continue to be extremely car-centric, most Canadians can't get around without a car but also can't really afford one due to all the costs associated with ownership. \n\n\n4) Government continues to cut back on healthcare spending despite an aging population across the country\n\nAnd one nongovernment-related aspect which is NIMBYism -- endless delays/protests on all major projects because someone is afraid their backyard views might be obstructed or some old trees might be cut.

When I lived in NJ, people would work in NYC but wanted to live in central or southern NJ. I had a job that paid me $22/hour back in like 2012. But I worked with a guy who quit his job in the city because he couldn't stand the commute. Him and his family moved to a cheaper area of NJ (still nice, but cheaper) and he took a job where I worked. He told me that if I was driven, that same job paid $40/hour. And even then, he couldn't really afford to live comfortably in the city. But eventually he found it most beneficial to take a lower paying job closer to home and find a cheaper place to live. That is city living though. It's always way more expensive. But I agree, living in a city in the US is ridiculous when it comes to cost of living.

I'm grew up north of Detroit and would play summer soccer leagues in London Ontario. So I always knew first hand how clean and chill it was. I took my wife to Toronto about 5 years ago. She's from Florida with family I Philly. It blew her mind how clean beautiful and safe it was. What she doesn't realize is how cold and boring it is.

Canada just took away guns for all citizens as they forcibly shut down the peaceful trucker protest. They are punishing Jordan Peterson for free sp. Canada,it’s government,sucks. Ours is even more corrupt,but yours is more tyrannical,for now.

30+ years ago having a car alarm in Canada was a extreme rarity. And in America it was mandatory. Detroit/Windsor. Lived in LA for 33 years, 10 miles from the beach took 1 hour 20 minutes

Full time and part time employees are entitled to 4 weeks vacation here in Australia, I don’t know anyone who only gets 4 tho, most get 5 to 6. Also, theres Medicare for all permanent residents and citizens; 18 weeks maternity leave— 3 months paid. There are 12 public holidays and just Far Less Crime. When people ask me if I miss “home”… I share that I miss good and easy access to stuff… but friends can visit me here, and I’ll pay extra for the things I enjoy to be mailed. The only major thing is as a black girl getting my hair done… lordddd ?. \n\nI’ve lived in Cambodia, Thailand, Spain and Gibraltar traveling solo. The more I traveled safer I felt despite never feeling too unsafe in the states when I lived there, I did when I traveled across country at times. It took me some time to feel into this new level of “ahhhhh this is what safety feels like!! Mom, come feel this! U can go for a walk at 2am!”\n\nWould never move back, but I’m grateful my roots are from there.
