7:38 “ Québec’s health Ministry did not respond to requests for comment”…. this is a typical response that can be found in authoritarian regimes around the world. Why is Canada a western G-7 country? Maybe Donald Trump forgot to mention Canada as one of those sh!thole countries…

lol before I watched the video first thought was lemme check out the racist or prejudice comments thank you internet you never disappoint

First person to comment here. Drop your likes and tributes. ?

first comment

Adding the comment just to boost the video. People probably mentioned, but the monopoly driven economy is killin everything. When I cam from US (spent 2 years studying there) I was schocked by the prices and lack of infrastructure. And that was 20 years ago. Now, it's getting just REDUCULOUS !!! I tell everyone who plans to move to think more than twice.

Shocked at the amount of insensitive ignorant comments

The healthcare system is struggling. But the rest of this story is not very accurate and it is regional. Not all places in Canada are like this. Before you comment on Canada (a very large and diverse country), maybe try looking outside of the GTA. The GTA is not all of Canada.

Canada is one of the politest concentration camp the world has ever seen the 1 percent uses us as slaves example 90 percent of Canadians are only given enough money to eat sleep and work and owning a house retirement and doing anything you want to do in life is not attainable to go back to my last comment I was told I did not deserve the house I owned as I had no kids and that house should go to a family as have no right owning a house as I did not have I wife or kids and should have to live in an apartment as I did not deserve a house for these reasons by the lovely small town cult folks

yep Canada is done. a lot of genderless people and genderless washrooms in schools, drugged up people from drug legalization, depressed individuals can now qualify for the recent legalization of assisted suicide, super cold place, jobs doesn't align with standard of living, crime is legalized like theft under $1000, college schooling are the same price as some housing mortgages, no one having kids because can't even afford down payment for housing on 2 incomes, Taxes up to 60%, and Lastly; a new law is being propped up and can send me to prison for life for causing harm if they get depressed and ended themself for seeing this comment. I moved to Canada 15 years ago and yes coming from a third world country, here felt like a downgrade. I am just trying to erase my debt then move back home and restart.

If anyone wondered why govt officials, police etc. don't behave well with Indian public, look no further than the comments by Indians here. Most Indians are quick to jump to DEFENDING the actions of the rude officer in this video, saying, 'There must be some reason why he is screaming and shouting'. Indians are so accustomed to being bullied by their officers and govt servants that this appears normal. It does NOT occur to them that no matter what the imagined provocation is, this is NOT the way an officer must speak to the CUSTOMER [yes visa applicants are the customers of the embassy/consulate and the consulate is providing a service to the client, so customer service matters here as well]. This DADAgiri business is so typical of India. Any person who has a power over another will SHOUT [even beat /physically assault] the other person from time to time to assert said authority. Parent - Child, Teacher - student, Policeman - citizen, Boss - worker, the list goes on.

I keep reading comments from Canadians saying, “I’m moving to America because Canada ?? is too expensive.” You all are in for a surprise! It’s expensive in America as well - and we have a gun violence problem on top of it. Plus, the outrageous cost of healthcare.

Quebec #1? You've got to be kidding! Great maybe if you are fluent, and I do mean fluent, in French. Otherwise you're treated like a second class citizen. As a tourist destination it is fabulous. The best food ever throughout the province. Old Quebec City by far the most beautiful in Canada and Montreal for the marvellous shopping experience. All fine for a fumbling in French tourist, but moving there and trying to get on in fractured high school French is a whole new and not so pleasant experience. I lived in the province for just under 2 years so my comments are based on that experience. After travelling the country extensively I settled in Northern Ontario to raise my family. Now retired I live in Canada's largest city Toronto and love it.

I’m muslim arab alhamudlilah but this is wrong, my opinion is sharia is the best law to be applied it doesn’t care about your feelings it cares about getting people in line, and one of the rules of sharia is respecting the laws of the people of the land you live in which these guys are apparently not following, yes there’s hypocrisy in London when they give Jews their own police and hospitals and appliance of their Jewish law but the Jews have won by grabbing every powerful persons balls in the west so they can do whatever they want unlike you being who thinks being loud is gonna get you what you want. and for westerners who are angry in the comment section about their laws being changed I say you know what it feels like now for someone else to lecture you about laws and how wrong they are, so now so stop lecturing the Middle East about changing they’re laws to something that suits your western criteria.

your comments are pretty fair for someone who has been living in Canada for a few years.

Hypocritical comments

Starting your comment with “as a Canadian “ doesn’t make you more credible,I thought you should know,he !

Smh to racist little brains in the comments. Blame your government not the immigrant populations. Cause 90% of Canadians are immigrants 1 or 2nd generation.

The comment section is raging ??

A LOT of RACIST comments on this video. Its these corrupt politicians and people with money who are screwing you over. Not immigrants. Grow up.

terrible comments omg!!! I am a old white man born and raised in Canada...our youth born in Canada don't give a crap about us old folks...then these young men and women that come to Canada for a education and residence show up from India...and bang in an instant I am noticed...do you know why because these young adults were raised to respect their elders...they are hard workers (some holding down three part time jobs) they pau their rent...they are polite and smart...with all this said they are also humans who have a limit. If they stay in Canada and contribute to our society here or go back to their own country using what they learned here to better off their communities in India...it doesn't change a thing...because they are so mature and i am proud that they call me a stranger UNCLE and exchange greetings to me all the time. I might not remember how to say their names but i am good with faces and i return the gestures willingly. It is true they have a hard time finding work that fits their educational title but they never give up and will work hard in any field with patience. I understand they are having a hard time but more Canadians should reach out and listen to them...they will teach you too. What a wonderful culture they bring to our country. To all the young Indian (Indus) women and men that come to Canada hold your heads up high and your parents should be proud of you.

My man saw one Tyler Oliveira video and decided to do the exact same thing. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed it, especially that it’s in Canada which does something that Tyler does not. It’s just all the same things… Same format, same thumbnail, same demeanour, same expressions, he almost has the same coat…\n\nEdit: I actually found that they both started at around the same time, I don’t know who the OG one is, which makes my comment somewhat wrong.

Hello everyone, \n \nAs a 55 year old white Canadian male (born and raised), I wanted to take a moment to address some of the anti-immigration sentiment I've seen in the comments section. \n \nI just want to say how much I love and appreciate the diversity that immigrants bring to our country. I truly believe that Canada is made stronger by the contributions of new Canadians from all walks of life. \n \nOn a personal note, I am so grateful for the love and acceptance that my daughter's partner from India has brought into our family. Their relationship has taught me so much about different cultures and traditions. Love knows no boundaries and I am proud to support their relationship wholeheartedly. \n \nSo to anyone spreading hate or negativity towards immigrants, I urge you to open your heart and mind. Embrace the richness of diversity and build bridges, not walls. We are all in this together and together we can create a more inclusive and accepting society. \n \nThank you for listening and let's continue to spread love and understanding. \n \nPeace and love to all.

Excellent comments sir, shukran ...common sense..?

It’s unfortunate that you feel this way about our city. In saying this. There is much to be done. Mostly all the red tape at city hall. And wasted tax dollars.\n\nIn a video of a city “you love”. And all of us have our faults, I presume your intention was to inform. \n\nIn a video sponsored by Better Help. And someone who has benefited for someone helping you up. Encouraging others not to come here. Just pointing out flaws. I know you mentioned for 30 seconds that we have parks. \n\nToronto is like all of us. We’re not without our flaws. Yet, sometimes pointing out what’s great (or even just good). You can make a better point for change. \n\nYou’re not wrong. You’re definitely not right.\n\n You could have been though.\nJust like me writing this comment.

So many of these comments are absolutely foul ? Praying your family finds a safe place where you are comfortable, will continue to follow your journey!

I rarely see comments open on CBC... there must be a reason... hmmmm The fact that the Trudeau government (who owns CBC) is looking for an opinion means that it is FINALLY getting through to them that when immigration outpaces available housing you get a problem... when you do it by margins of millions of people you get a CATASTROPHY! EACH and EVERY new immigrant beyond the limits compounds the problem and if the Trudeau government does not stop it will destroy the Canadian economy if it hasn't already.

Gee another comment removed and another woke warning don’t say the truth people that’s not allowed

There is substantial lesson here for pseudo patriotic Indians. They strongly display hate for any real or perceived slight to India. If there are some illegal Bangladeshis, every one gets on social media and denegrates whole of Bangladesh. If there is political disagreement with Maldivians, entirely boycott all things Maldive, stop food export to them and spew unvarnished hate on social media. There are more examples like these. \n\nWhat's the flip side of these hyper wrapping yourselves around the flag behavior? Indians on the whole are super sensitive and over reacting.\n\nPeople from those countries start hating india and Indians when they see what trends in indian social media against their countries.\n\nTime to tune down the rhetoric. I totally expect a barrage of negativity to these comments, but this is how I see it. Mature democracies don't behave like this.

You got a sub and like and a comment from me.keep them coming good job

I remember living in Toronto in 1994 when homeless people were being found frozen under bridge's...The many in Toronto at that time were going out to provide blankets, food, clothing and toiletries. This has been coming for a long time Canada - and of course my comment will be deleted in under 5 second's.

I have small business in vaughan \nEconomy socks \nTaxes fu**s up people to a level they don't spent \nInflation become so bad no one come to spend money anymore \nNo tourists comes to Canada only immigrants and poor ones \nThey tax business even to 40% of income wtf..\nLicense and legal requirements for a business makes any business don't want to open here \nI'm on tourist trip now while writing this comment \nI have been in saudi and Pakistan and romania , people spend more money in tourism countries so this makes small business survive during Inflation \nAnd so on...

It feels like half the people commenting either didn't watch the video, or watched it and still chose to remain willfully ignorant...

LISTEN UP FOLKS! Conspiracy theory: What if this video and the entire comment section is populated to bias you (using AI) against Canada ?????

Excellent reporting ? ?. It's time for Canadians to push back on these policies. Contact your local MP, and comment on every post you see regarding immigration and voice your opinion.

Not sure how things will end up with China but as of right now in these comments, americans are dropping bombs on this man ?

Not to worry justin trudeau’s new suppression laws will wipe away all disagreeable comments though the problems will remain.

Thank u big brother for this educative information. May God bless u more for all that u do in Jesus Name Amen. Please do not listen to people that comes to criticize u with dere comments.

They re scared to write comments in here?Normally they re busy in this section ?

The headline is “Why so many immigrants leaving Canada” and the guest commentator is NOT an immigrant he is just an international student. CTV News always knows the best.

I have seen many indian officials in india and almost all of them are not quick to anger. Even if they are bad mouthed or accosted . That is level of their training. \n\n Even if they are corrupt, they will not loose cool. They will smile all along. Which is more unnerving. \n\nThis embassy officials would have best training as part of IFS so that's why it is shocking to see lose him his patience.\n\nYes PPL in comments are right. There is no proper context in video that's why we should not jump conclusion.\n\nBut that is also true, if he is stressed and about to lose his composure. He should have taken leave and returned home. NOW THIS incident is part of his CR.\n\n If i speculate from my experiences in govt offices. This lady must be US citizen. She went for emergency visa and there might be some minor issues with documentation. \nAs the officer , donot have authority to ignore such issues. He would have asked for correction and lady who is already in distress due to fathers passing, must have said something wrong which might be reflective of her experiences when she was indian citizen. She donot know drastic changes happened in past 10-15 years.\n\n.This would have triggered this official. \nFor video, this lady became calm. Collected when official flew in rage.

Scanning through the comments there's not one mention of agenda 2030 Mass immigration plan , can't you people put two and two together. are Canadians that ignorant of what's going on with the globalist who do you think Trudeau is. come on wake up.

Well this is what Trudeau said about his immigration policies. Here it is verbatim as to what he said in 2017. \n\nQuote \n\nThe very concept of a nation founded by European settlers is offensive to me. Old White Stock Canadians are an unpleasant relic, and quite frankly, replaceable. And we will replace them. \n\nJustin Trudeau when asked to comment on his Open Borders immigration Strategy in 2017

There is a whole other Canada outside Toronto, Brampton or Vancouver. Disgruntled, leave. No one is stopping you from leaving. Should have done more investigation on Canada instead of taking some hired foreign immigration official advice, whose job is to make money off your back, telling you mistruths and all you had to do was do your own investigation. This is on you. Complaining about shovelling snow in a country where it snows! Really! What a stupid comment. Unhappy? There is a plane leaving with your name on it. And no one owes you a living.

It‘s still refusing to help though. The weight is still on it and no end in sight, so will you help? His answer seems: no. Funny how well many people let themselves be distracted, but maybe many in this comment section are bots, so I won‘t get too mad. Even if it‘s people also no real surprise.

$300.000 of salary, still sucks? really? why do you say that? Are you being completely impartial with that comment?

I love the North Corea comment, hugs from Mexico !!!

lol everyone praising those who are asking for two sided story and saying they are happy to see people are changing.... they are at least watching brut which means they could be educated and the others are still there who still fight in comments for bhageshwar dham baba!! ?

Comments are worse than the video ?

How an airlines worker allegedly exploited Canada’s immigration laws to admit people from India\nThe 24-year-old former British Airways worker is estimated to have made over $5.1 million from the fraud scheme\n\nAuthor of the article:Jamie Casemore\nPublished Feb 28, 2024\n\nA former British Airways employee has allegedly fled to India after being arrested for allegedly helping Indian citizens get around immigration laws so they could claim asylum in Canada.\n\nAs initially reported in The Times of London on Tuesday, the employee who worked at Heathrow airport in London, U.K., is said to have enabled people without proper documentation to get on flights to Canada so that they could claim asylum upon entering the country. He allegedly charged £25,000 per person or about $43,000. The alleged scam is estimated to have made 3 million pounds or over $5.1 million.\n\nAfter taking the money from the Canada-bound asylum seekers, the 24-year-old former employee allegedly told them to fly from India to the U.K. on a temporary visa.\n\n\n\nA former British Airways employee has allegedly fled to India after being arrested for allegedly helping Indian citizens get around immigration laws so they could claim asylum in Canada.\n\nAs initially reported in The Times of London on Tuesday, the employee who worked at Heathrow airport in London, U.K., is said to have enabled people without proper documentation to get on flights to Canada so that they could claim asylum upon entering the country.

What a silly comment. You KNOW the reason.
