Canada is a mess. Way too many immigrants coming here with no money, no skills, totally useless. Housing and rent are impossible, healthcare is exploding under the stress and quality of care has greatly suffered. Crime has exploded in all major cities. There are cheaper and better places to go than Canada.

Why does this happen is simple to explain. Newcomers to Canada won't leave their customs behind and many will try to fool the Canadian Government into free handouts ect...ect. Canada is not all about oneself as many Newcomers would like it to be. Most Canadians worked dam hard for years to achieve what we have today. We did not beg our Government for handouts or cry because money was sometimes short, no we did not....we worked harder and showed determination. Unlike many Newcomers to Canada.

Do you really believe that Canada is the only country that's not livable? The global economy and communism have blighted North America and Europe/ Moreover, politics is the deadliest viral contagion that stresses people to death/

As an immigrant who moved to Canada from India, just 3 yrs ago I can say India is affordable , medical services are also affordable and accessible, food is affordable accessible all through the night, transportation is cheaper and better. Weather is fantastic , except during the rainy season. \n\nCanada is not comparable to India, it is like ordering a plate of panipuri from a 7 * hotel and saying Bhayya pyas dhalo at the street vendor.

Nothing good in Canada now

I don't understand how a country as big as Canada can't build enough housing?!

Thats crazy. If i lived in singapore will never choose canada. Reason number 1 will be enough for me.

Do everyone in Canada a favour, don’t come here we can’t afford to house you let alone care enough about you

This isnt Canada land of the free anymore.

No surprise there, \n\nCanada is NOT attractive to migrants anymore due to multiple reasons.\n\nSoon a 1 bedroom apartment will probably cost 5000$/month for rent in the Major Cities making it impossible to settle here for newcomers.\n\nThe healthcare system has serious problems due to a lack of Doctors and Nurses who left for better paying jobs in US or Europe.\n\nIf you need immediate Specialist care you will probably have to pay hundreds of dollars just to see someone in the Private sector because the Public Health System has huge waiting lists and is understaffed.\n\nYou won’t be able to get a Government Family Doctor because the remaining ones have thousands of patients already so they’re swamped.\n\nYou can wait even 10 years for a Family Doctor and still won’t get one.\n\nYou can’t be bumped up on waiting lists for Doctors or Specialists even if you are in a critical condition because you aren’t a Celebrity / Politician / Millionaire.\n\nOnly those with a lot of money, status, power get immediate medical attention in case of an emergency.\n\nMost of the traditional medical costs like and eye exam, treating an ingrown toe nail, Physiatrie treatment are NOT covered by the Provinces anymore so you will have to pay out of pocket hundreds of dollars again.\n\nSome Provinces are already copying the US healthcare system which is 100% Private and for profit so don’t be surprised if you you’re gonna have to pay even for an infusion.\n\nThe minimum wage is only 15$/hour in most provinces when in reality you need at least 40$/hour to survive the ridiculous cost of living.\n\nYour typical salary will go 45% to taxes and 45% to rent leaving almost nothing for food / bills / gas / insurance etc. \n\nYou will struggle to make ends meet and possibly starve a week or two every month just to say that you’re “Canadian” \n\nThat is the sad reality but Canada is in a deep hole right now.\n\nUK is in a similar situation too.

Yep small town Canada especially in Alberta & Saskatchewan are awful places to live ?

Immigration patterns are subject to various influences, ranging from economic conditions within Canada and abroad to shifts in immigration policies, cultural affinities, and personal circumstances. The decision to repatriate is often profoundly individual, driven by diverse factors beyond governmental actions. It's noteworthy that the Canadian government's stringent COVID-19 regulations, amidst pandemic-induced economic downturns, have significantly impacted the economy.

The title suggests the video is about Canada, and they spent the entire time in the report in India. This is precisely the problem there is Canada, everything is about Indians.

Since I was a kid I wanted to live in Canada. Some of my extended family’s out there. Policies of the current government have killed any desire I have to live there.

Who would want to live in Canada now? Unless you bring a ton of money with you.

I’m quite depressed knowing that Canada might be worse than Britain right now. We’re all suffering the same sharp decline it seems..

Great, Canada took too many too quickly. Some of them can go home so we can rebuild the damage that is Trudeau.

Canada is equivalent to Crypto currency. I'm so glad i didn't make the choice to go for study there and wasted my time and money investment.

Canada is only about propaganda. It is an immigration scam. Don't come. I'm European and definitely going back after 21 years of this pointless exercise.

Canada is just a marketing agency. Exploiting highly skilled immigrants by giving them menial jobs. Have you ever seen in any country in the world that 8000 doctors drive taxis, work at menial jobs as in Canada is?

Don’t blame them. Canada is NOT the same country I grew up in. I hope to leave soon.

Canada is a $h÷t-hole. That's why I left.

I left Canada in October of 2021. One of the best decisions that I ever made.

It’s good for Canada that uneducated and illegal Punjabis stay out of Canada.

Great news for Canada, all Indians and others are flooding the country

I plan on leaving Canada next year so I can survive on my pension. 20 year military vet that has no choice but to take my pension and go elsewhere. Canada is literally becoming unlivable. Adding millions of people per year and no housing is destroying the entire nation.

Lol Canada ain’t working! Miserable weather, miserable housing, miserable taxes with little opportunity.

That is because we are filling our country with so called economic migrants from Africa who come to Canada to take advantage of government handouts

Invite more Ukrainian refugees then to repopulate Canada

Immigrating to Canada is a multilevel scam at every level from India ?? to the scams, crime, lack of opportunity, sky high cost of living, lack of housing, asylum seekers, corruption and depressing long grey cold weather ❄ ?????????????

As a Canadian, I can't imagine coming here as an immigrant. Young Canadians can't even survive here. The country is in a very dark time. We used to be so much better. Canada has lost its way

I believe that his grace will locate me this way, please sir i have a visitor visa, can a woman drive truck in Canada.

As an Indian who moved to study in Canada 5 years ago, It's the best decision I've made in my life. I work in tech and the money I make in a year in Canada, is what I'd make in 10 years in India. I save around 20-25 lakhs every year even after living my best life. Not sure what these news channels are on about.

Indian news exaggerating the situation in Canada. I've been living in Canada past 5 years. I've never made more money and never lived my life better. \n\nWhen a million students come to study every year in 2 major intakes, it's obviously hard to find jobs. Canadian government has rightfully put a cap on this number to prevent this. The only mistake they did was not putting a cap 3-4 years ago.

So its Canada’s fault that these people immigrated to the country?

Why are they leaving India for Canada is the first question to ask.\nIs it not true that India will become the No.1 Superpower in 15 years.\nGetting confused.

Ha as beautiful as the meadows of Canada

There are many reasons to like Canada and I can assure you it’s definitely Not the people and definitely Not the weather it’s a place where you can earn lots of lovely money and then leave the god forsaken place ???? well that’s what all the folks who work there tell me ????

People don't realize how racist Canada is until they land especially in provinces like Alberta. When newcomers don't get fulfilled due to discriminatory practices, they leave.

Just to think that Gorgeous Soros gave money to Colombia's VP Francis Marquez for a lavish trip to Africa .. there you have a woman from Colombia looking for asylum in Canada because socialist Petro can't do much for her..

What is the benefit of coming to Canada now? \nWhen Canada opened up in the seventies, there were many advantages to coming to Canada. Back then there was a lot of work in the lumber industry in western Canada and big factories in eastern Canada. In those days, if you were willing to do any work, you would get a job within 8-10 days. \nIn 1990, a bachelor apartment went for $500 a month and a one-bedroom was $600 a month. \nAlmost all would get their 3-4 bedroom house within 10 years. \nGroceries used to be so cheap that $200 a month could support the entire family. The telephone bill was $10 per month. A Vancouver-Toronto bus ticket was only $100. \nSchool education was good, children had to give exams. It used to be very easy to see a doctor. Buses were less crowded. \nNow the standard of education has gone down so much that children become like robots after finishing school. If you have to go to the hospital, you have to wait for 8-10 hours to see the doctor. \nNew immigrants find basements for shelter. Getting your own house has become a dream now. Those who have bought houses will have to pay the mortgage for a long time. Many homeowners are paying interest only, there is no reduction in the principal. \nBus service is so sparse that sometimes more than 100 passengers wait for a 38-seater bus. \nInternational students are in a very bad situation. Spend 25-30 lakhs, live 4-5 together in basements and do hard labor jobs (warehousing, retail cashier, security). Even if they do 2 years diploma they do not get any good job, only minimum wage jobs. \nThose with good jobs or jobs (income of eighty thousands or more) should come to Canada with a lot of thought, because when they come here, they are all considered workers and they have to find low-paying jobs and have to live in often in basements. \nProf. Kuldip Pelia \nSurrey, Canada

All of Canada is totally fcked, for such a big country they for sure don't have enough real estate for people to live. I remember back in 90's the rent for nice 2 bedroom apt was 400 here in Kitchener, that was 40% of the full time minimum wage at the time, according to same minimum wage percentage now, the 2 bedroom here cost 2500$, so that means that full time earnings at minimum you can't even cover your rent.

Those they should go for a trip in Afghanistan, or Ukraine, or Russia, they would understand that we are well here in Canada.

I virtually grew up in Australia from school days. I have totally different experience of living in Australia and I once tried to switch to Canada but eventually revert to Australia. Feeling Canada was not for me.

First of all Canada is in the continent of America. Its not part of Europe.

WHEN IS YOUR EARLIEST FLIGHTS. CANADA IS LOSING NOTHI NGS.

I am glad you are following your heart and your beliefs as parents. I am first generation American of Mexican parents and live in Arizona. I have been told to go back where I came from which is Comical as Az. was México first. I see whats happening their and glad I am here. I totally get that going back to Gaza for you is out of the question but hope you find your happiness somewhere close. The world, not just Canada is going down the drain. Ask any Eukrainian. I am comforted that humans have abused humans forever. Hmmm the Romans, Egyptians, Germans, ...Oh well, our turn. Seriously, wish you the best.

Go to Canada for a retired and insured life.. Govt does everything

Factual and overall very true. I was born in east Vancouver in 1951 and worked in the city for 34 years so I feel qualified to support your expose. Friends? Terrible place to meet people in general. It’s a Lower Mainland thing not Canada and not BC. I ask people weekly where they grew up and friendliest people are from small towns or possibly blue collar Vancouverites over 55. Home values and jobs have produced a generation of angry youngsters feeling hopeless.

No just my home and native land Canada. I love my country.
