I wonder how much these problems are related to Covid or were pre-existing? Even if past the worst of the pandemic, there has been a major supply chain shock. I feel that these conditions have been exploited and made worse by some price gouging. Or large corporations buying up housing as an investment to 'flip'.

Aww,, I miss my India so much,,still living in Toronto , waiting for good opportunity to come back.

I left Canada in Aug 23 and moved to Ky. Lower taxes, cheaper food gasoline and utilities. No trudope, able to protect my family. Much cheaper health care . I am older and believe I will have a better life here.

Canada, ha you mean India, in the last decade 100s of 1000s of Indians have flooded to Southern Ontario (which by all measures is Canada) to the point that sometimes one feels like they are stranger in a strange land. Of the 2.2 million who arrived last year approx 500,000 are students They are huge profit centre for landlords and colleges and universities. And let's not talk about healthcare!!!\n\nThe other huge issue is healthcare - forget about getting a family doctor these days it's a choice between MAID or going to the US to get life saving healthcare (paid out of pocket of course). Long term not much will change - discussing immigration is still verboten in Canada and while I expect the Conservatives to form the next majority government thier policies mirror those of the Liberals.\n\nBTW it's not a half million per year it's well over a million new comers per year!

Many parts of USA are NOT MUCH BETTER than Canada, especially in crime area and homeless.

So much corruptions!

It all comes to housing unaffordability. The housing prices are too high because of too much demand from investors. The solution is to limit or eliminate real estate investment. Then the demand halves and housing prices will adjust to fair price.

WE moved to Costa Rica and are living a much better life than we did in communist Canada.

The MAID program is pretty much the only thing Canada has going for it and perhaps a reason to stay if you are unable to leave

I was born and raised in canada and ten years ago i left and......i miss canada very much, but the truth is that the country i moved to, is so much better. \nIts very sad

How much to budget per month for the rising living cost there , for 2024?

Too much imported cheap labor (Indians) have driven wages down and now it's too expensive to live here

If they complaining so much why you still there go back to your home land ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️why you still there ? Pack your stuff and go back to your African home

Well done dear sister ,thanks so much for your awesome analysis and great information remain blessed Amen ❤❤❤❤

It's good that indian's show much respect to Pakistani elders, something which should be done regardless of borders

It's pretty much like Germany, they want (or need) your workforce, but they don't like you.

There's no labour shortage in Canada. They're a tax-payer shortage in Canada. The government spends so much, they need more tax payers to cover the bills.

Thanks so much for the video,kindly pls can a person with vistor visa apply for work visa from Nigera ,what am saying is I have vistor visa and I have visited for 2weeks and am back to my country,now I want a work visa because I want to go with my family pls how can I go about it.Thanks in advance

As a born and raised Canadian millennial, I'm grateful to have escaped Canada almost a decade ago when even back then I could no longer tolerate the conditions of Greater Toronto. It's exponentially worse in Toronto today. I wish the best for Canada but I just can't see it improving over the coming decades. I love my life in the US too much to ever move back, but fortunately close enough to make the drive to visit friends and family.

I think most Asians are leaving Canada. I'm Asian and I'm about to leave after 16 years here, my classmates back in college left already with their parents... My parents left too. I just have to sell my condo and I'll be gone. Canada is just too expensive, the pay is SHT, and it's too cold, it doesn't make sense to live here, like I have lived in Southeast Asia and I think it's much better especially if you start a business. Also China is growing, it's both a great market and a source of goods, ASEAN is rapidly growing especially in the tech sector, South Korea is dynamic as ever, and Japan is begging for immigrants now and they have preference for Asians like how Canada has preference for members of the Commonwealth.

I don't blame the people leaving Canada especially the ones who were smart with their money and saved enough in thier younger years. They probably have the freedom to live comfortably in warmer and much more affordable countries.

I left years ago. Best move ever! Crazy expensive, WAYYYYY too 'woke' and pretty much a Communist state. What they did to their own people in COVID is criminal.

Wow this is great news\nIm so much interest thanks

No medical, pathetic services for everything, hike price, job is not happening, rent boom., Food is much expensive.... \nWorst condition for living ...\nThy call It Emergency, and that emergency stays upto hours 7-8-910 hours of waiting is emergency...?.

I was born in Canada and I can tell you that the Immigration policies are just scams, they only show and tell you what a person can easy achieve if that person wants (which are mostly lies) and then when someone immigrates to Canada they soon find out that it was pretty much all lies. I know someone from India that apparently has a computer engineering degree from his country, but, when he arrived in Canada and tried to find work, the government told him that his degree is not relevent in finding work, HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE???

Today india is much better then EU or US canada

It simply '''sucks''' now - thanks a lot to Justin !?!? -- Liberal agendas ruined US cities as well. Ridiculous prices to live comfortably - if your not wealthy ? Excessive regulations high taxes and inflation......Many in the US are retiring overseas to avoid homelessness or just a poor quality of life ! The Philippines Thailand Malaysia Vietnam Cambodia in S E Asia - or Mexico Panama Costa Rica Ecuador Colombia - are all much cheaper and attract many.

Is Cold, not easy to start, to much migration pappers, no thank you, forget about Canada

its wonderful explanation, please let me if one family member is visiting to student in Canada how old and how much funds required

The canadian and american problem is that we let too much illegal foreigners get in. They create unnecessary competition. For example as you mentioned about renting, they can happily live 20 species in an apartment without anu issues.

Thank you so much for this. U just go straight to the point...❤️

The only way we can fix Canada, is to get rid of Trudeau and the liberals. They have and will continue to do as much damage to Canada as they can. I have seen a government so dedicated to destroying a country as Trudeau and his party. Truly evil.

I’m in Alberta. Half the cost of Ontario and BC. May as well say I’m Métis too. I’ll never leave Canada. Shocked people like the USA. Losing two friends to murder and lost a few acquaintances… One from Edmonton was killed in Los Vegas during that shooting. Healthcare is too much money as well. I had racist remarks for being Métis.

Immigration is bringing so much crime in this country and causing so much problems of housing prices. Canadians will have to move out of canada

Too much talk

Even immigrants say its too much

Blessing that CAN-Immigration returned my Family Immigrant application reason they said too much Immigrant application pending in 2010 waiting 5 yrs after submitting all stupid requirements like employment background signed by previous employer certifications, Stupid IELTS of 9., Masters degree, trade licenses, pawned our farm lot for show money , I thought it was the end of my dream to migrate after college. \nThankfully I am not in Canada .

1/4 of Canadians don't know basic economics. \n\nNot that surprising since it would interfere with the socialists running the country. \n\n If we even had basic economics in high school they would have a much harder time pushing modern communism, Progressivism.

Canada is becoming much too dark in colour. We need to halt immigration as Canada has gained nothing and lost its soul.

Stop immigration now Canada needs to work on sovereignty back. Immigration not the same as when my parents came here so different from today. To much people are here to invest with there retirement money and school not helping or becoming Canadian money money. So much big big homes everywhere that will be unaffordable now or in ten years. All leaders around the world fix your country’s before there’s no where to move. Stop the legal renting in Canada 10 people to a home no even family \n.call centre home must stop.

Why does Canada need Immigration? The Gap between Canadians who are retiring and those who are in the workforce (and hence are paying taxes) or are supposed to enter is increasing. There are more Canadians retiring than those working. Result? The Canadian government has less tax revenue (and perhaps more expenditure as a result of Increased pensions etc.). So now, either the government has to Increase Taxes (More taxes? Hell no!!) or bring in New Immigrants to increase the tax-paying workforce of the Canadian Economy. Hence, immigrants are needed and the political parties including Conservative, Liberal, NDP, etc. know this and are inviting immigrants in record numbers. The issue is too much red tape in Building housing options in Canada, not immigrants

You forgot to mention the extremely toxic work environment at least in healthcare where I was employed although I did work in retail for awhile which was just as bad. The backstabbing is unbelievable especially if you're new to the area. Smaller towns are not friendly and even if you're only from the next town over, you are looked as an intruder. I'm happily retired now and avoid people as much as possible, this from a person who was born right here in Ontario. But you are spot on, Canada is not a place I would choose to live and my parents regretted ever coming here from Europe sucked in by the preception that Canada was the Land of Milk and Honey.

Born in South Vietnam and raised in Toronto for almost 44 years now I'm still here and Toronto sucks!!! It has become a ghetto! City Toronto leftists' politicians have made it into a shithole! Bike lanes are everywhere and there are not much bikers during the Winter months (something like 8 to 9 months) and summer months I saw few here and there. Rents are totally beyond many peoples affordability. Foods prices are freaking crazy. Reason why this is happening? You have to thank the current idiotic-leftard government under Trutard leadership in Canada. This is thanks to his carbon taxes BS initiative causing high cost in fuel and resulting in major inflations in high food prices, rentals, etc. How can you help refugees and immigrants while Canadians can't even afford to live in Toronto, etc. You need to take care of Canadian first and foremost. Taking in 500 thousands new immigrants and refugees each year isn't going to be help Canada to get this mess we are in. Lower number like 150-200 thousands of new immigrants | refugees is feasible but NOT 500 thousands new immigrants and refugees.

Thanks for this great video. The present government has changed Canada so much in the last 8 years. We really need change. Great content!! Watched the whole video.

Immigration should be cut off fully for 5 years and only brought back with much smaller numbers once the lives of CANADIANS are brought back to a decent quality of life.

the freezing of bank accounts is a bigger issue than just the Trucker rally freezing. To anyone who owns a business in Canada that has ever been through an Audit with the CRA, you know these kids have no idea what they are doing and and way too much power. In my case they actually said they wont accept half my receipts because of the format they were saved in. I had two formats, and they said I could only pick 1 format for them to work with- so immediately from the start the AUDIT would be incorrect, I called it out and refused to pay the fake amount and they froze my bank account--with employees not getting paid. It is clearly irresponsible to operate a business in Canada under that kind of behaviour. Keeping a business in Canada is dangerous. I left. Dont even get me started on what my Doctor said about not treating my low functioning kidneys until they fail!

Canada is tundra region. Historically humans never lived in masses above tropics mean humans are not biologically conditioned to live in that region. All pure or majority Anglo Saxon nation like UK, Canada, Australia and NZ have high property prices by design as it gives false sense of prosperity among service class if export is not huge. Canada and Australia has resources but what Australia has is good weather compared to Canada which is not really suitable for humans. To live in such conditions humans need to earn much in excess of what rest of the world earns else new immigrants will ditch Canada for other comfortable places to immigrate to.

most countries after the pandemic experience poverty. We are allowed to say pretty much what we want. We don't have to sell our house if somebody has cancer or get in financial crisis. Most countries has had their house value up the past years. People are friendly they just don't want to bother. Our Politics are not perfect but hate speech and fake news needs to be sorted out. We need to stay focussed on what we represent. There is SO many job opportunities right now it's insane. I guess it's a question of perspective.

I think the system was designed intentionally to empty immigrants pockets and then push them out. Sell Canadian Dream, bring as much immigrants as possible. Make them pay crazy rents and keep them in never attainable certification limbo. By the time they realize they are already exploited by the system. They will end up spending all their life savings and youth in Canada doing odd low skill jobs. Cruel system for taking advantage over naive immigrants. I hope soon more and more immigrants will understand this and make wise decision of not coming to Canada at least for now.

Well, you have to ask yourself. What are the incentives of staying in Canada? It is unlivable pretty much 8 out of 12 months, so that is more than half of your year spent suffering. Plus, you pay high taxes and high cost of living while your Government steals and give your tax money away to foreign countries. Plus health care is pathetic. Only idiots will stay and be slave to the Government. Life is too short to be staying miserable in this country.
