If you don’t speak French it’s not very friendly

Police course yet you hardly speak English, nope cant see that becoming a problem

Speak about Falastinians. So many people are being murdered and starved to death. Leave indenginons alone. Don't harm them

13:10 ?? I have of heard people moving to Libya. \n\nMadam please why are you discouraging me.\n\nOn a more serious note, I don't why anyone at moment will want to go to Libya. I know it is the second richest country in Africa in terms of GDP per capita simply because of their vast oil reserves. But the political instability and social unrest makes it a difficult situation for most Libyans themselves. Why do you think as an immigrant you will suddenly have it any easier?\n\nIf you are black, non Muslim, and only speak English, please stay away from Libya.

Why is everyone that works at Zara in Sherway Gardens and Square one a foreigner a lot of them tell me they are full time not even students. It’s a scam. Those retail jobs when I was young were for high school students and uni students. So sad that our kids can’t find jobs. It makes me angry. Pierre needs to speak up. I am very turned off by him that he doesn’t have the guts to talk about this very big problem.

But south asian muslims are forcefully crying for Palestine, 57 muslim countries have no guts to speak anything against them...

Justin have got many criminals, who do not have writing or reading nor speaking skills at all. They have score of 8 in IELTS. It's a joke. Liberal party with the head as PM is a puppet of Jagmeet. He is the decision maker. So sad.

Trouble is that anyone who tries to speak out about this gets labeled a r4cist. We need to be able to criticise gov policies freely.

The man speaks the truth

He speaks the truth!

Dear Abhi and niyu\n\nI am a citizen of Bangladesh. I see what kind of educational content you create. How to stand up against injustice and teach us to stand up.\nYou are a citizen of India, you must have heard the name of Bangladesh. In our country, in the name of autocracy and anarchy, people are suppressed without giving the opportunity to speak. Today, even after 53 years of independence, students who are descendants of freedom fighters are preferred over talented and educated people. Request you to make a specific and preventive video based on this topic. I do not know if you will see the message? But if you have seen it, I request you to keep my proposal.\nthank you

I bet a lot of them don't speak French.

The Indian people here abusing our countries laws, rules and regulations. They have no intention of being Canadian or care about the integrity of our country. They only assimilate with their own kind and show no respect for others. I speak for all Canadian when I say this, WE HAVE HAD Enough !!! ?? ??

What if i start to count the negative points of living in India .... Don't act like a stupid, when u r talking about a country u must hv to speak about the postive sides too

As long as you are a capable immigrant and genuine student (not using edugration as a back door), you are still welcome in Canada. The problem is when incapable people who cannot speak a single word in English come to Canada and assume that getting pr and citizenship is their right. However, I appreciate that you have made this video, may be incapable people now will refrain from coming to Canada.

Look at most of these students. They can’t speak English properly. What do you think they are going to do? The guy wanting to get in police department is already thinking about LMIA to game the system.

I tried to emigrate for years to Canada. I speak 9 languages, C1 (IELTS) and graduated as a French teacher in Albania and later Switzerland. Have a work experience in my field and are with my husband and child law abiding citizens. We tried for years and between IELTS tests and Credentials assessment it took a good chunk of our finances, yet we weren't deemed to be enough to emigrate to Canada. Even raised my child bilingual in English Albanian so she could adjust better and integrate. What kind of policies are these that repel people that are willing to integrate, that try to come there legally and respecting your laws and immigration programs and open the door to law breakers? I just wanted a simple life and a teaching job while holding the utmost respect for the people and the country. All this thing makes me sad, but also makes me feel stupid for wanting to do things legally or that i believed Canada was a country where law was respected.

Y not speaking about Middle East population in Canada bcoz they white u cannot recognised them they r more than Indian \nThey have ??10 kids with them

I thought this channel was started to spread positivity because there was apparently too much negativity. Yet, you guys spend an entire video speaking only negatively about a country. If someone from abroad had made a similar video about India you guys would have lost it. \n\nIf you guys were as critical about India and its politics as you were in this video then this country would have been so much better. Hope you guys now understand that just like you can sit in India and critic Canada anyone sitting anywhere can critic any country for its policies.

Its crappy, I'm at the point in my life where me and my fiancée are making more money then we ever have, but its going no where. We need immigrants, we do not need this much. I go on tiktok and there are tutorials for people coming into this country on how to obtain free food, like from food banks and what not, spite the fact we have minimum funding requirements for students coming here. It sucks, because the minimum isn't high enough for somebody to actually live off, and its taking food away from desperate Canadians who really need it. Some of my best friends are immigrants, and it sucks to try to speak up about it, only to be bashed as a bigot or xenophobic. I'm not either of those things, we just have a HUGE issue caused by a massive influx of people. Its not the people's fault, its the failure of our government. I have no issues with anybody who wants to live a better life, I have massive issues with a government letting new immigrants experience a mediocre, and overpriced, life at the cost of everybody else's life getting WAY more expensive and difficult. My rent for a 2bd apartment in 2014 was $770 all included, Grocery bill was about 170 every two weeks. That has all tripled in the last 10 years, Legit tripled. *Only mentioning those two, because they have gone up the most, but EVERYTHING has gone up. (about 2-3x) Its crazy to think when I was making 8-10 dollars less an hour, I had more money, it went MUCH further.

Do not go to Quebec If you don't speak French, if you don't have $25.000 or more in your bank account

Thank God someone dared to speak the truth publicly and make others aware of it. Admire your channel and your simple truths. Way to go! Congratulations.

The amount of delivery / courier / truck drivers that, when they arrive at my workplace, can't (or won't) speak English is unreal. When no one speaks their language they get on the phone and put someone who can on speaker. Eats up a lot of extra time especially when they're not even at the correct address, yet somehow are rude and get angry insisting they are. Eats up a lot of time needlessly. \n\nCanada is pretty buggered, and I think we as a nation are already too far-gone, eh?

This gov't can't do anything right. That's because they have a different agenda about immigration than what it's supposed to be. Initially, the Canadian gov't would take in a certain amount of immigrants per year based on the needs of the country. All immigrants were vetted from those that applied through the proper channels i.e. LEGALLY. Canada needed certain types of workers to fill a need in a certain industry, it would prioritize those newcomers with those skills and education. But now, it's a free for all and it has nothing to do with industry nor economic needs. It's instead all about the numbers of voters that are likely to keep the Liberals in power. That's it in a nutshell. It's all about power and control. Same thing with catering to special interest groups. The gov't cares nothing about hard working middle-class taxpayers. And if this creates divisions among Canadians, too bad as long as it fills their purpose of staying in power forever. And they do it by lying and using political correctness and punishment for speaking up as a threat. Canadians are now accused of 'racism', 'Islamophobia' and 'xenophobia' if they even question the issue of immigration. It's all a political game meant to keep the politicians in control, well fed and wanting for nothing while the hard working Canadian is stressed to the max trying to make ends meet.

I m an international student in Canada ?? , and in reality both of those person speaking truth of Canada, I m hear from last 6 months and still I don't have a job , the job market is worst and also the health care system is also worst because it is way more expensive then any one can think, and also very slow , and overall Canada is worst the what most ppl think

Moozlims lol that guy can barely speak and we expect hum use his brain

I really like my mother language, Cantonese, but I also agree that we should speak English (and French) cause we are in Canada!

I am in Canada and live in downtown Toronto and can give you ground insights that is very GOOD. There are 2 faces to anything. Canada is a great country more so if you assimilate and speak both English and French.

He may be rude and not very pleasant...but he speaks for a great many people who share his opinion. He isnt physically threatening them nor is he using threatening language to intimidate or attack them. He is expressing his opinion and is dismayed that his country is being remade into something he neither recognizes nor cares for.

Where in world life is easy?...You have to work hard and earn in today's world ..be it any country..Life in India inreality is even shittier! No one speaks about it because we dont have any hopes on India development..All these videos about difficult in Canada,UK etc are just propoganda by indian government through youtube vloggers so that immigration can be reduced or else it can ruin economy completely one day.....ur life has no value in india ...need not explain much about it

This guy always speaking so well

The BIG reason Montreal is so cheap is because it’s in French speaking Quebec. As soon as you go outside Montreal - you better speak perfect French or people will despise you - literally. All the other major Canadian cities are experiencing similar issues as major American cities. I am very well travelled.

As a Canadian, I am okay with immigration but this is out of control. Not only are we allowing too many people in but it’s not a diverse group. It seems so be nothing but Middle Eastern men. A lot of them are very disrespectful and creepy towards children (speaking from multiple personal experience la with my daughter). This needs to stop

The blunt truth is that the majority of ostensible international students from India coming into Canada happen to be from the state of Punjab and are Sikhs. The state of Punjab is the educational dregs of India as it is mostly agricultural. What is happening is this influx of so-called students from Punjab are in fact hooligans and come to Canada in the guise of being students. But are in fact here to become permanent residents by hook or by crook. This phenomena is a recent development since 2020-21. Prior to that the students who came to Canada from India were genuine students that is why Canada did not see the problems from so-called international students from India prior to 2020-21. Canada really needs to screen carefully for both academic credentials as well as English language facility. These so-called international students cannot speak basic English. How in the world are they going to actually fare in Canadian post-secondary education let alone at University level. Canada is now facing an influx of these hooligans and they ALL need to be deported back to India.

I’ve watched this happen all in real time, and I’ll be honest. I don’t mind immigration. When people come here, to BECOME Canadian, and ASSIMILATE to our way of life and add to our culture. But this invasive wave by the hundreds of thousands who don’t wanna speak our language , engage with our communities and isolate themselves in bubbled communities… I don’t want them here. Come here to be part of us or just leave.

He is not harassing. He is speaking against terooooo from Middle east blocking their roads on daily basis.

Man is speaking facts.

People miss these because theyre so fast to jump that youre a racist if you say anything about it. \n\nTheyre not assimilating, like how we did. Theyre nice people but theyre not respecting the cultures around them. Everywhere I turn, it’s them speaking loudly over phonecalls. Some of them dont even speak a lick of english. You cant blame people for thinking that theyre trying to create a second India within Canada. \n\nTheres NO BALANCE. Im not saying hating them is justified because it’s not. It’s the fact most of them have this mentality, which overwhelms everyone around them. It’s so bad, the other Indians that are doing theyre best to assimilate also gets attacked.

Nigeria is not the most corrupt country in the world. Na decorum we lack! Plus context creation. Not every thing you come to the internet to say.. you see Indians speak English for things like this ? Abi you think na only there dialects them understand Abi..

If he’s speaking about lifting the weight of the blockade then surely he means Egypt should also be handing the refugee crises and allowing aid in.

Ironic to hear a french speaking woman of Brampton saying she adapts to the canadian culture by not speaking french!

Their English is so hard to comprehend that RN had to subtitle the video while they speak...

barely any canadians in this video... I heard 3 people speak clear english

“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.”\n\nZahir Muhse’in, member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee, said the following in a 1977 interview with the Amsterdam-based newspaper Trouw.

As a white Canadian who loves living in Canada because of how MY friends respect and invite all people of all colours in our lives - it breaks my heart to hear this.\nHER WARNING IS NO SURPRISE... I WOULDN'T EVEN WANT TO GO TO EDMONTON OR CALGARY (ALBERTA)... I consider it the Texas of Canada / very conservative in nature... like American Republicans. IF you want to live anywhere in Canada - be sure to land in provinces that are either Liberal and/or NDP in political attitude.\nI feel so bad for her and others - I hate this crap... and it has escalated since the Trump took the Presidency in 2016. \nAlberta is very much the closest thing to a American state that I hate to admit.\nPLEASE REMEMBER: there are sooo many of us that welcome you - Canada is full of every ethnicity and religion... but Edmonton, man - pick Ontario or Quebec. COSMOPOLITAN AND PROGRESSIVE.\nI would never want to live alongside Albertan Cowboys (sorry, Alberta - but relatively speaking...you must admit this is the case more-so than anywhere else in the TRUE NORTH)

10:50 - Oh lady, you're allowed to speak French, that's not the same. Canada has always been Anglo/Franco that's our heritage. So even if her English was bad it wouldn't be the same as these foreigners speaking foreign languages. French is not a foreign language to Canada, white French ladies are not foreigners to Canada.

I work in construction in BC. Indian labour pimps are filling jobsites with non english speaking cheap labour, bringning down the quality and value of the trades. \n\nWhy isn't anybody doing anythjng about it.

I understand perfectly what they mean. I work in the tourism industry and Indians, Pakistan and Islam are really difficult people to deal with. Most of them that I see. They don't understand English but they have to speak English. They have a very strong accent. I am never going to visit this city.

As someone living in Canada it's been crazy the boom of indian people. I live in a highly desired immigration location and it's rare to go to a fast food place and it isn't just full of only indian workers. Additionally, I walk to work for less than 10 mins, and I pass 4-5 houses just packed with young indian men packed into a house together, like 6-8 people. \nDespite all this huge number of indian immigrants I have no indian friends, because they don't integrate at all, they stay completely insulated in groups of other indians, often speaking to eachiother in their native language rather than bothering to learn the national languages of canada either english or french. We've immigrated like 5-10 years worth of immigrants in just 1-2 years. It's unsustainable and insane. we don't have the structure to support this population.\n\nIt's modern colonization. Plain and simple.

Speaking in a United Nations microphone, that says it all.
