Of course it's beautiful, but I wouldn't come here at the moment if I were an immigrant. I have several college diplomas in Civil Engineering and Architecture and can't get a job in that field since covid took over the world. Same goes for many other industries, people would have better luck staying home and starting a youtube channel...lol But if you still decide to come here, let me know and I'll give you a tour of the west for free...

Hold up, there’s crime in Canada?? I guess it probably goes something like this.\n\n“Hey, this is robbery, could I please steal some money?\n“Sure. Take as much as you’d like.\n“Thank you, I’ll be sure to come back!”\n“Alright, see you soon!

It is very hard join the family. I am thinking to move to USA and continue to work fly in fly out in canada. My family goes 3 times a year to USA and cxan not come to Canada, this is fucking ridiculous. Health system is a shit. I got covid and I was abandoned if I survive or not is a matter of good luck.

Yeh you are coming to Canada. I will be there even if you do not come to Quebec (will go to Toronto) in March and I will see you in Dublin in April. You sketch is well done. Even if as a French Canadian you did not refer to French. Probably safer anyway. One tiny glitch referring to which state ? Goes well with the answer but Canada has NO states. We have provinces and territories. USA as the inhospitable region is damn right. Have a nice day.

The same old story of unprofessionalism goes the rounds of Indian beaur....! No matter how much you are frustrated dont leave your professional skin at work.\nIt's quite a normal feature for Indian professionals in the Government to behave this way.

Are these the same people who goes through UPSC prelims, mains and interview process?

This list is absurd. Clearly, it goes: The Yukon, BC, Quebec, everyone else randomly placed, and then Ontario. Every Canadian knows this. Except the ones from Ontario.

There a Canadian Joke about Quebec and it goes\nThree Canadian's where walking along one from Quebec one from Ontario and one from Alberta and they com across a magic lamp. The genie then offers them one wish each. The one from Quebec wishes for a wall around Quebec 10 feet high and 5 feet wide, then the one from Ontario says well make it 20 feet high and 10 feet wide, finally the one from Alberta says hell fill it with water

the person who didnt even care to hear is the best person. the whole blame goes to the ppl who raise those type of ppl. Haha south asians will never be racist towards americans

You forgot to mention other types of taxes: sales tax, property tax, gasoline tax, etc...\nMore than 50% of our income goes back to the government, then they use that money to control us.\nThe rest we spend of food, transport, housing, etc, which is also going up in price due to inflation.\nMost Canadians not only can't save money, but are constantly falling in debt.\nModern day slavery, that's why they want more immigrants, it's the golden cage of the world.\nThis is something the corrupt main stream media never talks about.

This is unwatchable. Racism goes both ways.

My grandmother was from New Brunswick. Her family goes back over 200 years.

Indians face racism at western countries while no one can beat them on racism back here at India specifically north Indian they have this weird superiority complex, they call all Northeasterns as chinese ,Indian nepalis as momos watchmen, biharis-bhaiya panipuri to bengali fish eaters, to south Indians- madrasis...The list goes on. These tech scam supporters are vile creatures

Canada is what you make of it. You can arrive rich and end up poor and you can arrive poor and end up rich. In between that, you can have a great life that balances your needs. I’ve seen immigrants succeed simply because they see the opportunity in front of them . They worked hard in their own counties to stay just above the poverty line ,but when they apply that same effort here it pays off ten times greater. I feel that compared to a lot of immigrants, natural born Canadians come across as spoiled and a little lazy…we are. We haven’t had to struggle the same way someone from a poorer country might have. I’ve talked to people who’ve worked ten to twelve hours a day just to stay afloat. If you did that here you could make plenty of money to live and have some left over. As far as owning a house goes,yes it’s expensive . I feel that homeownership in any country is relatively expensive. Here is a tip; use that soaring home prices to your advantage. Houses are expensive but you can make a lot of money buying and selling. I recommend putting together a buyers group and share the house for a few years, then sell at a profit, buy a bigger house or two smaller houses.try to buy the worst house in the best neighbourhood and fix it up slowly . That house could double in value in five or six years in the Toronto market. This is nothing new of course ,the people from India and China seem to do this a lot here ,it drives up prices and profits. On the downside to this ,you are now part of the problem. As the housing prices are driven up the non wealthy can no longer afford to own a house . They are at the mercy of high rents with no rewards of ownership. They are caught in a cycle of hard work and (relative)poverty. This could also be you if you can’t keep up the house payments and are forced to rent.\nHow well you speak English is important but your native language is also useful here because Canada is half immigrants . As a Canadian that speaks only english (Irish descent)I have to say to all newcomers that I’m very impressed that you have learned a new language and that you may even speak more than two! Don’t be embarrassed about your abilities . I find that in my experience , Canadians do not look down on people just because they don’t know English. In fact ,I’ve known people that have lived here for decades and still know very little English. They are comfortable in their communities and they function just fine. Learn as much English as suits your needs and be proud of any gains you make.\nOutside of Toronto are other cities that you might consider when looking at southern Ontario.From my experience,most are generally the same, just not as big . There are large immigrant communities in London Ontario, Hamilton and just outside of Toronto where housing is just a little bit less expensive but the commute to work is probably longer. This is just my opinion but in the small towns there are less people of colour , (which is what people of no colour call everyone else . I wonder if I’m called a person of no colour in some other culture ? LoL ). That might make it harder for you to feel integrated ,if that’s what you want. I’m not saying that people from other cultures can’t make it in a small town , I’m just saying that it’s definitely not Toronto . Here, people of any nationality can feel like they have a place where they can belong . It seems that no matter where you are from ,there is a community already here that’s set up restaurants and stores and clothing shops and newcomer support systems. And if your from Portugal or China or India or Africa or the Middle East, there are large groups of your kin here that have established roots for generations and you probably know this already.\nToronto means meeting place and that becomes evident quickly. I was born here and it’s one of the things I love the most about my city. I’m not going to say that there isn’t systemic racism here ,the people of no colour still kind of keep the top position , but as we become a minority in a decade or so ,I hope that will shift to a broader spectrum. It’s certainly happening already. One good thing is that the police department tries to hire people of colour so that racialism may play a smaller role. We’re getting used to seeing our politicians more and more reflect their constituents.\nI have to talk about the weather. Because I’m from here I’m used to the extremes of minus thirty and plus thirty . Eventually you get used to it (somewhat). Dressing in the right clothes is important. Summer is easy , but winter is different. It’s trying to kill you. Spend the most that you can afford on winter cloths . If you can afford a quality parka you should get one. The hood can be drawn around the face and stay out of the wind.\nIf not ,think of layers with a outer layer that blocks the wind. We have things called long Johns that are basically full length thick cotton or nylon pants that go on under your pants and a pair of extra thick socks. Buy your boots to fit your thick socks. Try to get the best boots you can afford ,it’s something that you might spend a little extra for but never regret.\nAll in all we are a fairly organized and peaceful society. Most people are friendly and will give you a chance . We have a good social safety net here and you don’t have to be homeless or starving if you don’t want to. There are people and organizations set up to help ,that truly try to get people back on their feet. It’s a good investment that pays off in ways that matter for the quality of life in a big city. I’m not putting my American neighbours down when I say they do things differently. They have their ways ,we have ours. This is just something that we do because we’re trying to learn how to help those that society has discarded or can’t find their place. Sure we have one or two areas where the homeless have pitched tents and we have some resources for them if they want. Unfortunately The mayor recently forced a small camp to move from a very visible place to more scattered locations. There were social workers involved as well as protesters trying to protect them. I didn’t like that happening and I want to see even more resources dedicated to them ,but on the other hand ,we are trying to avoid something like what happens on the streets when it’s just ignored. When I see YouTube videos of the streets of Philadelphia I’m extremely saddened. I thank the lucky stars that I was born in Toronto Canada.\nFor all it’s pollution and expense and crowds ,I think it’s a great place to do almost anything your heart desires . For every ugly building there is a beautiful park ,for every honked horn there is a birds call , for every cold and dark day there is beautiful sunny one around the corner.

I disagree a little with taxes and health care parts...a little. You kinda get money back...provincially, i mean you get taxed but when you retire you get some of the money back. Because more work, more money goes to your Provincial Pension. And for Healthcare, i don't know about all of the provinces but in Quebec there is both the private and public sectors.

AND BIG ADVICE!!! RIGHT HERE>>>>>>>> ADVICE; go to church, and make friends. locals. when you have a group of people, they have friends and family, and they can expand your ability to go forward. your local community goes to church, join them, those are the shop owners.

There's a lot of nuance that goes into this. I've lived in Canada, Japan, UAE, USA and UK. imo Canada is amazing for third world immigrants like my grandparents were. Middle class are best off in Western Europe. High earners are better off in Asia. Jobs also play a huge part in this. A teacher will earn more in Canada than UK. A tech worker will earn more in UK than Canada.

You didn't scare me with taxes and semi free healthcare :D Ok, you pay taxes, but you can see where they go. And I also can't think of a country where you get dental care, eye care and medicines for free. In my country in everage we pay 30% income taxes, plus vehicle and property taxes all this having monthly income below 1000 euros. And I honestly don't understand where all this money goes. Roads are shitty and healthcare is not free either.

Many people does not want to settle in Canada, they just want the citizenship as an edge in case something goes wrong. This is why Harper made that second ND class citizens law to stop people from doing that...\n\n\nNot everybody can cope with the high cost of living, the limited food choice, the weather ..

And second Rorey explains that’s he feels this type of way afyer learning his whiteness gets him a privilege , but he’s smiling soo hard like he’s happy or even glad to find this out and then goes to say you cannot go around correcting everything so u just have to deal with it ………LIKE WHATTTTTTT ?

What about pcc is it easy to get or it goes through police verification again if address is same in passport

Worked in IIT - good job experience - good sallary. They will give PR at home. \nBut that's not case for everyone bro. \nGAPS, set backs, fked up in life.... List goes on...

I’m moving to Canada by the end of this year. I’m a Dutch citizen from Pakistani origin and presently in transport sector with a Dutch heavy license mostly driving on international routes within Europe. Hopefully everything goes according to plan.

Thank you for sharing your insight - your model is versatile same goes for the UK. God Bless

Same goes in employment decisions

The East India Company mostly consisted of British Troops whose Job was to Attack, Occupy & Loot wealth of different countries in the world. \nThat looted and Plundered wealth was then transferred to Great Britain (UK) so that these British army and Civil servants could spend the rest of their lives in total Luxury and Pleasure in the UK, on this Plundered Wealth from poor countries. \n\nBefore independence, Whenever the People of occupied countries, for example in India tried to protest against the occupying British Army , this British Army would Recruit the local people in the army and would use these same local people in attacking, suppressing and killing their poor country men. \n\nAn example is the massacre of Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, on 13th April 1919 , where the hindu, sikh and muslim soldiers recruited by the British Army , opened machine gun fire on protestors who were unarmed Women, childrens and men. and killed Thousands of them in cold blood. \n\nAnother example is the Babra Massacre which occured in Charsaddah KPK, Pakistan, on 12 August 1948, when the Pak army soldiers recruited by the British Army, opened fire on unarmed protestors and killed thousands of their innocent fellow muslims. \n\nAfter independence the Looting, oppression, killing and corrupt practices of British Army were adopted by Pak Army who mercilessly oppressed, killed and looted the poor Pakistani Nation. \n\nInstead of waging Jihad on their own, the Pakistani army sent Childrens of poor parents to Madrassahs and converted them into mujahiden and taliban, and sent them to fight in Afghanistan and Kashmir. \nWhile the army was itself busy in occupying lands and plots in Pakistan. \nFor american dollars then this army bombed, killed and Handed over innocent Pakistanis to American guantanomo bay. \n\nWhen india removed article 370, then this army got so afraid that it didn’t do anything against india and even couldn’t send the mujahiden and Taliban to fight india. Instead they agreed to everything india said. \n\nAfter retirement almost every High ranking officer of Pakistan army goes abroad to USA, UK & Australia and enjoy life on the money looted from poor people of Pakistan. While the poor people of Pakistan have been handed over to a False Khalifah called imran niazi who has sucked the remaining blood and eaten the bones of poor Pakistanis. \nWhile the Pakistani Nation is asleep in their homes , living miserable lives and waiting for their miserable death, and do nothing against this oppression and inflation

Great Video again. \n\nTwo tricks. Or accepted practices if you will. \n\nSpecialist appointments. \nWhat is likely to happen you go to your Family Doctor and he makes a judgement. \nDoes this person need to be seen by specialist how urgent is that need. \nYou then set up an appointment for three to four months down the road. \nYour likely not picky so you accept anytime. \nThat’s where you make the mistake. \nYou make the appointment for the first appointment of the day or as early in morning as you can. \nWhat happens then Is you will find you are out within 4 hours. \nThey like to clear their morning schedule before they take lunch. \nSo say your appointment is for 11. Because of backlog they get you in for 12. \nFinished up morning appointments by 1. \nThey then take there lunch. Which means they are two hours behind starting the afternoon. \nRough idea of what goes on but you get the idea. \n\nTwo. You hear it every time you call a doctors office. If this is a medical emergency call 911. \n\nIf you need an appointment with specialist because something is wrong. \nFor instance need to see Neurologist because of seizures. \nYou can go to family Doctor and he will set up appointment for 6-8months down the road. \nOr you can go to emerge snd be seen by Neurologist usually within the day. \n\nThey expect you to do that if you are in distress. \nNot in the brochure perhaps but they tell you to do it. \nCall 911 if this is medical emergency. \n\nSo whether your having heart palpitations, seizures, or just don’t know what’s wrong with you. \nThey expect you to go to emerge if you are in a bad way.

have graduated from osmania university, both in MBA & Bcom.\nIs WES recommended for ECA? \nAs it considers 2 year Indian MBA as 1 year canadian Post graduate programme.\nwill I loose points in CRS if it goes like this

Rights\nHow can we talk about equality when ALL women NOT only indiginius are disrespect on a daily basis for 50+yrs & no diff today but on surfacees only\nFrom all country and our Cdn all 3levels of government to every board room dusrespect is almost high 5’d by men in these positions! When they put down a supposedly equal woman on same board! Is tolerated n meeting goes on! Why? Yes even seen by myself @Wpg city Hall etc. \nA problem we talk as if it has been resolved & it has not!!\nThis is even obvious In my own senior 55+ housing - as I & other women on board witnessed in silence bulling from the men on the board who see this inappropriate treatment from mgmnt & their employee A disrespect in board room is unacceptable by other board members but from Mgmnt too?! \nSo HOW can we expect any respect to be given to ALL women nevermind expect it to our aboriginal women who have had the worst of it for 50+ yrs is not ok but tolerated and is a serious “women” ‘females’ our ‘girls’ mothers sisters n daughters !

It's funny af since America is mentioned in our itahasas it's called krouncha dvipa sugriva goes to California which is called kapilaranya and he describes America being an beautiful land with Rich culture he describes native Americans also if sugriva knew about this would happen he would have nuked the entirety of America with astras

That man goes too far.

This guy gets rejected and he wants to behead the women. Can't imagine what he does to a women when a women actually goes for him.

Canada does not need immigrants like this. Cheating right from day one is not the kind of people this country needs. Wang, if he's a naturalized Canadian, should have his citizenship revoked (if possible but I doubt it in this country) and he should be returned to China. That goes for every one of his clients who took part in his fraud schemes.

This tax thing is so so funny. I have some friends in Canada and they are all complaining about the high taxes but I am originally from Spain and taxes there go to 49.5% and the same goes with the UK, so for me, Canadian taxes are pure heaven haha

canada accepts way less immigrants than the US just goes to show who actually is in favor of immigrants

What comes around goes around in due time

Ok sounds good * goes to Quebec brings a sandwich and bottle of vodka and sits on a park bench

My heart goes out to him. I was a refugee as a young child. I knew nothing about the legal meaning of my circumstances. But over the years, I have gleaned the fact that refugee status has specific legal boundaries. These legal specificities are not determined by any one country. They are determined by international law. You need to be persecuted. Specifically targeted. As a person. Or as a member of a targeted group. Jumping from one country to the next doesn't change the definition of a refugee as determined by international law.

It’s about time people see how double standards are between nationalities, even just standing there I get judged by something standing around! I’m native from kitimat b.c, 54 years old, still going through everything that’s been air right now. There still a big problem IN CANADA!????Especially when the american people come in to town for work. This pandemic goes way back to when the first? Europions? First land . And still going on????????which will be the first to be cured, covid or prejudice???????

Great video. Thank you very much. Is it possible to submit your profile and then make update to it like after a month or so? For example: You create a profile and submit, you don't get picked in the lottery for 6 months. Then your work experience goes 3+ years, you update the profile and get more points. Is it possible to do this?

I think people needed to be educate that asians are not all Chinese ignorant people spreading hate to the world what would happened if those people who experienced These racism would do same thing to them in their own country, because this kinds of experiences would never be forgotten in all eternity as the saying what comes around goes around.

Tax even Goes upto 50%...like in Quebec if you're earing $5k/month....u would would end up paying $2.5k/month as tax..

Islam creates problems wherever it goes

Them is crazy, make example of the crazies to set the guidline of when an ideal goes too far

I am Filipino from Philippines and I can confirm that this woman is a Filipino.\n\nI hope this crazy man goes to jail.

This is the best journalistic approach I've seen on this matter so far. Yet it still lacks a deepening on the fact that racism and other kinds of discrimination are not exclusively practiced by white people. Had the same experiments been performed in places where other ethnic or cultural groups are the majority, the results most probably would evidence their biases in favor of their own pairs. This evidences that there is an inherent component in discriminatory behavior that goes well beyond of an evil mindset. It’s clear that in general people tend to better identify with those that look like themselves and fear those who don’t. This has been imprinted in our minds all along our species evolution. Could we change that? Yes. Should we change it? Definitely. But it’ll not work if these subtleties are not accounted for and we oversimplify the matter by just pointing fingers to a specific group as the villain.

It goes both ways

Nobody chooses to be born white or American or Canadian or Mexican \nWhat makes you proud is only an accident, and you should never belittle the ilegal immigrants because they are brown you don't know the future \nAlso you must never discriminate, because what goes around comes around and you will have to pay for your actions according to God \nThe one that doesn't love you more than a any other brown or yellow person.

Unfortunately, nothing much is going to come out from this. The guy is just going to get a slap on the wrist and off he goes looking for another victim to harass.

I don't think Canada ever lied. Unlike the USA Canada does not play around. We welcome legal immigrants and bona fide refugees. Unfortunately there is a lot of greyness in what it means to be a bona fide refugee. Perhaps too many people think it means one thing. \n.\nMy heart goes out to all these foreigners wanting to make a life here in Canada - after all I am one of them. The ONLY difference between the guy in the video and me is that I was lucky to have an opportunity to get a degree'd education and was accepted into Canada.
