I think it's with age at my age I would not stay in zimbabwe it's a shame of a country maybe when I am dying or dead ...the older generation there has no respect all they think is revenge for the white man .... we have fathers that are patriotic to a dying ideology that a white man is the enemy ...yet when you go abroad they want an allowance every month ....beautiful country with stupid elders ...\nYou become enermy number one

They say this always. Yet they will not return to Africa. If it ain’t worth it why are you still there lol

Thought he said at 0:35 that he was not working yet in Canada...

Sad..the ones who do make it in commit crime in the US n blame the blk man.. So it's sad that the good ones don't make it in... but they should do what other countries do with large numbers like this... they team up n go for their leader n vote somebody new in...but they rather just run to another country instead...n refuse to learn English but will fight to get here...sigh we got Mexicans here who still can't get a green card but yet they want to skip steps to get in... we have kids from gratulama right now mad that they don't know where their parents are n mad asf they live here not realizing they parents got them here to make the best of it not be a maddening thorn to society about being here...like show them this n they should shut up.... it's unfortunate the only way to protect our borders is capital punishment n the US just isn't that cruel but if they see the large mass of .... the borders wouldn't look like this cause they will know they aren't gonna live if they cross this line...sad reality with what our ancestors did but it makes awful sense using fear for order sigh...

Is he back in Nigeria yet?\n\nIf he is not back in Nigeria with all the negatives he said about Canada, then he's another hypocrite who doesn't want others to have the good things he has.

Dude, how can you compare the money you make in Nigeria to Canada? The comfort that Canada offers can compare it to Nigeria? How can you have 24 hrs running water,quality medical facilities, security, and quality schools for your kids yet complain about it being expensive. Live in Nigeria,where the water may not be clean,you will have electricity distributed ,big security issues ,schools a mess then. I 've lived in the US for 9 years and have and will never complain because of the simple quality of life I experience. Just the fact I can wake up in the morning and switch the light on,turn the pump on and there's water running, call 911 and there's multiple ambulances outside my door ,go to the hospital even with no money and be treated before the money is brought forth is freaking awesome.

And yet Canadian born citizens and Canadian immigrants will jump ship to US without skipping a beat. What does that tell you?

You're mistaken that America's immigration policies are broken when after you fully explain both it's very clear that it was Canada's immigration that's broken. Think about it from your own words, you said that housing cost here are really high and yet Canada keeps encouraging immigration which will just make less houses available for people which will make housing prices continue to rise. America had the foresight to reduce the number of people they allowed immigrate thus keeping their availability of houses high. So rent is cheaper and wages are going to be higher in the states. Thanks for disapproving your own title

It's like this Country has been sold and know one knows yet WTF

I also wanted to move to Canada, just for the sake of my kid's future. Mind you I don't have kids yet, but I wanted them to grow up with the opportunities I didn't get. BUT NOW, I will never consider moving to Canada. I'll go for holidays maybe.

Where do they think they will go? Lots of major US cities in ruin. Yet they keep swarming.

This is the price we pay when we claim to be the world police when we claim. We are the greatest nation in the world when we claim that we have more prosperity than anyone.\nOf course people are going to break barriers. They're going to go against police thinking that they will have a better life in America and those of them who happen to jump the barrier and enter illegally into the United States. Find out that there is no prosperity and that we are just like them. No housing for our veterans. No housing for our people human services can't feed the hungry welfare department can't help you get medical assistance but yet we claim that we are the wealthiest country in the world.\nThose who claim that we are the richest country in the world are only the ultra rich. They're comfortable. They don't care about people inside the United States or outside the United States.\nSo let's just be realistic and let the people around the world know that we are a struggling nation and that America belongs only to the super rich. Maybe we won't have that kind of problem anymore. People trying to jump the borders.

Yet again. If Back home in Nigeria is better why are they not going back home... ? ? ? ?

I agree but the best is yet to come

Yup this is exactly who we want here right!!! Yeah No! Why did my family have to follow the rules to come here but they don’t?!?!!!! Our streets are full of homeless yet they get to barge right in and then get hotels!

They want to enjoy the infrastructure, education, security in Canada without putting in the requisite hard work that make those things possible! \nThey want to behave like they do in Nigeria where a Doctor employed in a Teaching hospital will not report for work or report late and still take his full salary home at the end of the month. They divert patients to their private clinics and rip them off. And they won't even pay tax! \nCanada is so hard yet he wants to get a Canadian citizenship for himself and children, what an irony!\nWhy did he leave all the good life in Nigeria to relocate in the first place?why?

I don't know y I can't stop crying like a child \nAlone in room \nI haven't experienced yet but plan kia hai to soch k hi Kuch ho rha hai ???

Come on let them all in, I'm sure we can find some room for them in the thousands of tents that we have throughout the cities of this country, I'm pretty sure at least one or two of them will probably fall victim to the terrible judical system, and we can find a bed somewhere in this cramped up prison population that is bursting at it's seams in this country, how ironic all of a sudden people have changed their views on this in just four short years,, and what I find even more astounding is the fact that so many people smashed on this country and say how horrible it is but yet you have people by the thousands trying to come here

Hi Kemi! This was quite a very educating and well detailed video. Thank you.\nI want to ask, I’m in a serious relationship with my man with marriage in view, you made mention of putting your details as a married person and all about change of names at some Point. \nFor I and my partner, we want to start applications but not yet married and we want to apply as a family , what would you advise we do at the point when they ask for spouse details giving that we aren’t married yet but hope to do so before we travel \n\nAnd Again, I would love to join the telegram group you mentioned for more info \n\nThank you as I anticipate a quick response

That comment about no enjoyment with their work was spot on. We work with older equipment older software our businesses dont invest like american ones do. We dont get new forklifts. Nothing yet they put tremendous pressure on whoever shows up Monday. If we cant be rich can we at least be happy? If i was picking countries as an immigrant id pick usa!

Yet he has refused to go back to his home country?? if its not worth it, then go back home.

the greatest country in the world yet it’s got the most ? ?going on ffs .. I feel for the young/ kids n parents man ??

Hey Joe is the border a crisis yet?

What is wrong with other countries? Everyone wants to come to the USA. Why Isn’t Mexico modernized yet. A whole beautiful country. people dying to get to the USA. Take care of your own country, USA looks like a dump , roads , schools housing , airports, piles of trash piled aside railroad tracks, it’s pitiful , gas , food , utilities sky high. What’s wrong with the leaders of these countries, take care of our own soldiers been homeless since Vietnam, the ones who haven’t died already. America can’t take care of their own, let alone everyone else. Give the citizens of USA a break. Enough already.

America is so terrible, biased, racist, blah blah blah, yet people literally run in in droves.... cognitive dissonance much?

CNN this is being seen because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are in charge trucks being indicted her stuff he said but yet Joe and Kamala told them to come haven't any of you dumbasses ever seen Field of Dreams if you build it they will come well if you say it they will come

Amazing country i live in ? single male cant find a 1bdrm for less than $1,200....Where wages are $12-$15 an hour...yet illegals get assistance...room an board...though i work my ass off just to be poor. Screw ..america...if i could afford to leave i would.

Pls help with these cause have tried it but no respond yet

This is unfair, I waited and spent a lot of money and followed the rules to migrate here from the Philippines. My relatives, who are nurses and teachers, wanted to migrate here to the US, too, but it's hard to do it. Yet they let these people who have no background check will be freeloader and can't speak English, yet they Government let them in. Why choose this kind of people instead of people who will contribute to the economy rather than freeloaders. I don't get it.

I do feel sry for those people, but theres few things we need to address.. if they get here.. how they are going to survive if we hardly have jobs for us..\nThey forgit that america is not longer a place of freedom, our leaders had 5urn us into democracy, iron walls.took our freedom of speach, teach our kids they are praying nouns n to disrespec their parents if they tell them something else, where christians are becoming the enemy and evil the friends.. the president is a child molester n his wife has to shutup, our unborn child is already mark with a death sentence, America is NOT longer the land of the freedom, and the braves.. America. Is worse than their own country, to die here i should die were i was born, sadly im american n see my country gong down hurts… people u are no one here just like we are.. \nwe work all out lives, n when we need help is denied, but imigrants not even an id to proced who they are are been gupiven, housing, food, medical and money, im disable working for america, n i cant even get food stamps cuz i was granted ne (1) lousy dollar ne time n the food stamps said i made enought dont need food stamps, but my neighbors is an imigrant, her husband work, they even pay for her house, n me i was told no help cuz im not old enough.. what u mean.. i dont say anything about my friend cuz shes my friend but we can keep housing those that never put a penny into our land. Why they get benefits n we dont? Again i feel sry for them i really do, but what about us..the real citizens of United States of Anmerica..??? The real Americans.. we work, we paid, n we die.. they dont do a thing n yet they get more than me..i only applied for food but she said u did a dollar extra this mo, we closin* your case.. but ne time food n one time that dollar..

Same here in the UK. Doctors, dentists schools, housing all a problem, yet they're allowing illegal immigrants in their thousands from the English Channel, going out in our lifeboats to fetch them in even from the French side and we get to pay for their hotels at a cost of some £7Million a DAY. The staff of the hotels taken over lose their jobs, there's been attacks and a murder but still they keep coming.

Bit too long yet constructive and useful insights on canada life??

Why because we don't follow our own laws and certainly not international asylum laws ? that's why. We have laws that they may enter and make a claim yet we are not honoring this so they are kept out and waiting at the boarder promised again and again they will soon be called to make their claims as they starve and their children are hungry, dirty, hurt, and even dieing. That's why!!! ?

As a truck driver i did visit the whole USA. What would make me move down there, the weather, the scenery, the beauty of the land. What stop me from moving down there ... the attitude of a certain part of the population (the divide between Republican and Democrats), the healthcare cost, the homeless and the crime rates in big city. Montréal is far from perfect but still above any big city in the USA. Yet wonderfull large country to see.

Our son (22 yo) was in a traffic accident 3 years ago. Heavy multi-trauma that necessitated 18 surgeries, the latest was 2 months ago. He still has complications that forces him into long hospital stays. If we were living in the US, not only the whole family would have been bankrupt, but he most certainly would have died from lack of fund to pay for his care. Being Canadians living in Quebec, we didn't pay a dime, and his medical care wasn't even entirely paid for by the universal national healthcare. Most of it was paid by the Société d'Assurance Automobile du Québec (provincially funded, single payer automotive insurance).\n\nEverything, including renovations to the house to make it suitable for a wheelchair user and so much other things he now needs has been paid for. All in all the cost of all the medical care, prothesis, equipments, surgeons (6 of them, diffrent specialies), multiple MRIs, scans, stress-tests, ect. is most certainly in the 7-figure by now. The single payer automotive insurance granted him a pension for life, calculated on the base of the salary he would have made in his future job, had the accident not cut short his university education.\n\nJust typing this to show a very valid reason why it makes absolutely no sense for a Canadian to move to the US, makes me tear up for families down south going through a similar situation, knowing that unless they are millionaires, they're probably going through hell. Each time we hear about the health care system in the US, we have feelings I can't even describe.\n\nEdited to add: Our son is covered by his father's complementary health insurance he has at his job. We didn't have to claim anything there yet.

Hey now is you run past the cops you can become one\n\nStop having us build free housing\nThey quadrupled the cost of everything to make us their slaves\n\nWe lost our houses yet make too much to qualify, so we build Mexicans not here yet free housing and you give them free food of course they will come and you will collapse this economy. Weare now living multiple families to a house while they written for cash, live in free housing, and then get a house during the collapse and gain 2 investment properties. We have nothing brave they bought our govt with coke, took event from us and gave it to them. We have nothing now and can't even keep 40 hrs on a lot of checks\n\nIf you flooded their country they would shoot you\n\nThey have 17-18 kids even and send then to suffocate in the back of food trucks or down in the Rio, all to collapse the US\n\nYou build a wall with 3 for gaps in between some of the sections\n\nThe Azteca and Mayan were coming up here to capture the American imams for slavery and sacrificing them before eating them, they fought each other\n\nCould save your country and theirs\n\nThis was allowed to happen to Germany and everyone got f'd over\n\nA peaceful fentynal takehome euthana drink with a micro serial number available at every pharmacy and 45-65 percent of the quirks would say thanks, and then there room for everyone, instead the cartel contaminated it with xyaxaline so their flesh would rot and they works need amputations. Don't try to kill yourselves now

All them Mexican ppl can take over the cartel the mob an the government they are not trying being scared ain't the way rush yal president headquarters like this an get shit done yet world leaders how are they not saying something to the Mexican president like take care of your people this is ridiculous and sad

Are mexicans going to finally admit their country is failing? Look at this. Pitiful, we can’t even feed our own people AND there is a HUGE crisis with cartels stealing farmland right now! This is outrageous, I’m sorry. We are the most shit on country in the world yet everyone feels they can use us when they realize they’re in the shitter and our country IS a great nation (at least greater then the shit shows they’re trying to flee from). Sorry people are suffering, we are suffering to, find a way to come here by a means that is legal and we will welcome you with open arms

I feel like we have not even started to hit the major trouble yet. I am not sure how people will be able to handle the massive mortgage increases, pay massive rent increases and afford crazy prices for needs like groceries. All this on top of bringing in record numbers of newcomers.

You did not move to regional area mainly because of family, yet moved to Canada away from family? You did not move to regional area also because of less opportunities, yet you were in Canada for almost 7-8 and did not chose to work here?

I am a Canadian and lived in the US from 1980-1992. I was a teenager and I enjoyed all the places I lived there. Mass shootings were not yet common though we did have a disgruntled employee with a gun on campus during my time in college. No one was actually shot.(This was in a very small town.) I did not get sick in the US. I have lived in Canada since then and enjoy it here too. I enjoy not having poisonous animals in the area where I live. I don't like the winters, and every winter I wish we could re-draw the border and make it go north and south! I have used the medical system up here and have been very thankful for it. The past couple of years with covid I have been especially glad to be in Canada because I preferred our response to the situation over that of the US. Most of the people in my workplace were not happy about it though and I believe 2 or 3 families actually moved to the US once the border re-opened. They like the feeling of having less governmental control in the US.

I'm currently a Chinese undergrad in the US on F1 (student visa) and my cousin is one of the lucky people who had a STEM OPT extension and got H1B on their first lottery. Witnessing her experience made me want to go to a Canadian grad school instead of an American one: she's been on her H1B for over 4 years without having been able to leave the country due to visa issues, yet she's nowhere close to getting a green card - she told me, just like those mentioned in the video, that she will move to Canada if there's still no sign of obtaining a green card in a couple of years.\nI'd also like to thank you for making this video and spreading awareness of how difficult the American system is. As international students, things about immigration are like second nature to us, and we often forget that most people in the country we're migrating to have no idea of the process.

If you're not a supporter of terrorist then you don't needs to fear anything in india, Canada don't realize it yet your country is became a terrorist safe heaven and hurting other countries just like under taliban govt terrorist are free to do anything it is the same with Canada the difference is taliban attack western countries canada attacking India

The news tries to push its agenda yet every single one of the comments has something different to say, it is time people take control. The Canadian mainstream media is the enemy

I dont really get it. My father was a farmer from a non-latin 3rd world country and somehow managed to get Spanish citizenship after years of living in Catalonia. Naturally I also received it. I managed to get permanent residency in the UK despite not even being an adult yet, and none of our families being employed by highly skilled labour nor having any connectiond to the UK except from the fact that we have lived there for a few years

UNFAIR ADVANTAGE....for us far flung from the east and asia. We have to enter the US with good education and work background, yet they can just walk and demand asylum and given work permits and work at just anywhere.....US NEEDS TO STOP THIS. THERE SHOULD BE NO FAVOR. PLAY FAIR. IF YOU CAN GIVE MICRO JOBS TO THEM, THEN WHY CAN'T OTHER NATIONS GET A SHARE OF THIS? ??

Montreal was never mentioned in this report, yet considered the most interesting city in the country, more comparable to New York than Toronto claims to be from the points of view of architecture, arts, culture, cosmopolitanism, higher education, quality of life, security, accessibility, transport, close to nature and, of course, to the legendary joie de vivre of its inhabitants.

India is the only place where they are respected and yet many hate ?? India..

Yes, of course, although Canadian views can be true sometimes. Yet, we cannot defend our own Country as you can. That alone makes us ' nice'. We have to be.\nDo you see realness vs manipulation here, even for/against ourselves?\n Not to mention a new thing I've learned through an American. Homeownership & land rights. We have something called mineral rights. Ownership of land under homes is unknown sometimes I am sure. No wonder the government can just get rid of people (paying something of course) off their land.\nIf we considered North America as a whole, America would be the male of the 2 countries. Kinda weird but a vague thought. \nWith all the immigration I am beginning to feel like a stranger in my own country. Dealing with it but, they are not the only ones feeling stress. \n\nIt's hard for anyone to move though when family is important to you.\nBlessings

I absolutely agree. Australia is one of the best countries to live with a work-life balance. They have yet to talk about 10% super contribution which was made to their retirement fund. There are heaps of vegetarian, kosher, halal options. People are super friendly and very humble and polite. It is heartbreaking to hear this. In emergency it depends what is happened to you. Australia has the highest labour wage in OECD I think now at $24 + super. Reigonal areas like Canberra, TASMANIA etc they are not to bad.
