Yeah the rentals are like 1800 a month to 2K for 1 bedroom - or 2400 a month for 2 bedrooms; while 3 to 4 bedrooms - cost like almost 2 million dollars in Toronto; yeah it some places go to minus 30/40/50 Celsius - and if you go rural for cheaper prices you kind of pee behind the bushes and no gas station for like 200km; Canada is for carpenters, hunters and fishers/ survivors it's not for weak hearted unless you got a few million dollars in your account;

Canada has become a 3rd world shithole.

Trudoe has turned Canada in to hogan's heros

From Lebanon, i send peace wishes to Canada.

I have been to Canada couple of times now. It's basically a little India outside India. Same as England.

The had doubled the amount the persons who come to Canada. It is the consequence of persons protested against the Canadian administration. I assume they forgot it was foreign country and they are not true citizens of the country.

As a natural born Canadian, it's turned into a corrupted shit show, and I too plan to leave. Not only is Trudeau and liberals corrupt, but the cost of living and stagnant wages is rediculous. This government has opened excessive immigration since 2016, and its hurt this country. Do not move to Canada.

DISCRIMINATION IS NORMAL,ONCE YOU LEAVE THEY WILL BE MORE RACIST. IF YOU STAY THEY BECOME LESS RACIST. COME TO CANADA.

I hope Punjabis leave Canada and go back to Punjab to make the great nation they are dreaming of. I wonder why they still live in Canada if they want Khalistan.

ONly people who thrive in Canada is political liars, criminals and scammers Canada has suffered from Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau, Funny part alot of the homes are owned by China, they're massive and over priced, best part of it all....their own people screw their own with rent.

I am not surprised. There a better countries to live in now than Canada. JT ran this country down to the ground.

Canada isn’t the land what people dream of, in fact its the opposite.

People are still flocking to Canada. True, it a very expensive, beauracratic, laid back country. But it is better than 95% of other places.

Canada always was COMMUNIST COUNTRY!!!

This story is misleading and the Title is completely false. Canada's Student population doubled in 3 years and Canada went from 7th highest Foreign Student Population per capita to 2nd, so the Canadian Student housing situation worsened quickly. So the Trudeau Government put a cap on Foreign Students and offered low interest loans to Universities to immediately expand Student housing. Canada has seen NO drop in citizen applications and still refuses far more applications then it approves. So with even Canada's low birth rate still combined with immigration Canada's population is the fastest growing per capita of Western Democracies at an annual population increase of over 1 million people a year. So the Headline about Citizen applications which had nothing to do with the story of Foreign Students.\nAlso I want to add they stated that the gentleman had set up a business to bring home students from Canada when in the interview he stated that Canada was only one of the Countries but stating it the true way is less dramatic and doesnt fit their Narrative. Also the story was clipped from India a Nation that has been ata diplomatic war with Canada for a year after their Government Murdered a Canadian Landed Citizen. So their Governement put out a warning for their Citizens going their amongst other revenge moves. So the story has so many outside bias to be sensible.

Canada is very expensive and its hard to find affordable housing, healthcare is slow, groceries are very expensive and services are very expensive, taxes are high, transit infrastructure in Toronto is ridiculously behind other world cities. You need a car to survive in Canada and gas and insurance is very expensive. Childcare is too expensive. Clothing is limited and expensive

Good! That will help with the housing & employment crisis’ and tripled inflation. Trudeau destroyed Canada by recruiting too many minions.

I'm Congolese born and raised in France left Toronto after 5 years to go back to Paris because \n- Cost of living \n- Cost of becoming a house owner \n- Dry Dating game \n- Workaholic culture\n- Not seeing myself building my family far away from my family\n - 6 month winter \nI love Canada tho, was a great experience ??and I did apply for a citizenship tho

It’s actually been my plan to go to Canada for a few years now, it’s a shame how the Trudeau has destroyed it. I wanted to do my masters at McGill, and still do but if the situation there doesn’t improve it just won’t be worth my time. I don’t wan to stay in the UK but I may as well stay in France or go to Australia.

Canada finished

I still can't get over the fact that some of my friends still treat Canada as the holy grail, tsk tsk even I can see that that country is going out in shambles

70% of an immigration system runs on fake jobs.fake documents.fake payroll.fake marriages.fake LMIA under liberal government and liberal government have destroyed canada.

I came here in 1996, but its so expense to live in Canada. I am looking to move somewhere its cheaper

I cannot immigrate to Canada because there are too many indians immigrating to Canada. Deport indians from all englsih speaking countries.

As an American I would NEVER want to live in Canada. Their salaries are much lower than an American salary and they have much higher taxes. As a huge hockey fan, you almost never see an American hockey player go to a Canadian team as a free agent because of the crazy taxes.

I made my mind after 19 years of serving this country i have learn a lot of lessons. \nThe country is for slaves and health care is money laundering not planing to wait in ER with internal bleeding 3 hours. Many my friends like men with 3 digit salary left the Canada after many years for better countries and better life. \nThere is nothing good left here unless you starve in your country then you can immigrate here but Canada is trap so the corrporations, banks and govertment constantly can milk you with high bills till your last breath without mercy. \nI can stay in Canada with only reason if Canada cancell all taxes like Dubai Qatar etc\nAlso the country full of rassist and low life people\nEverything is built on propoganda and hidden corruption.\nMy advice do not waste your time and life here it does not worse it at the end you will regret

If Canada become into another India, then woe is me.....

When students stop goin to Canada is gonna be in the shits ?

Cause the new Canadian dream is to leave Canada.

Canada is a vast country, but its population is based in a handful of metro regions. All the immigrants and students are coming to these highly populated areas where there is a lack of housing and jobs. Everything is a lot more expensive these days. No wonder many people are thinking about leaving this country.

It is sad. I left Canada. Crime is high, Homes are double the price of an avg US home. Taxes are very high and healthcare is very slow.

Sometimes I feel like I’m living in India, not Canada, too many Indians here

what a new perspective on Canada immigrants from solely India perspective. Good job BBC !

Canada is a fuc*ing shit Ponzi country

I'd love to move to Canada, but i'm wrong skin colour to pass a visa application.

Canada the land of Terrorists

Canada is broken and trash. I would move away right now if I could.

Canada is only good for rich immigrants… if you are poor and want upward mobility then waiting in the queue because thousands of Canadian born citizens are unable to match to any residencies

Move to India to continue to work online somewhere else or live with the money you earned somewhere else is easy. But everyone won’t be able to do it. Do we have people that actually move there to write CV and work there for the local salary instead of preferring to do the same thing in Canada? That would be real change yes

Canadas Security Industrial Complex has destroyed.our.country, especialy in Ontario. The covert OPP, TPS, DRPS, Peel Region etc. Most don't even realize how this system destroys citizens, domestically born or not. Most dont even realize it.

Foreigners show up, contribute to plundering the countries resources, get citizenship vote in elections they have no business voting in, then once things go bad they can just as easily leave. the real Canadians who's country it is cannot so easily flee the bad times. this is why all immigration has to be massively reduced in all countries both illegal and legal. Canada is for Canadians it is not an economic zone for profiteers to exploit.

Canada looks and feels like India now, no wonder people don't want to stay here.

Lack of job opportunities in Canada as compared to the ones in the US

canada is no place for weak ppl.

In 50 years, their grandchildren will be whining that Canada was an Islamic caliphate, and they were forcibly exiled.

Yet many Indians are doing everything to come to Canada making it worst.

this is how Canada makes ? defrauding international students.

As a person living for around twenty years in Canada, the real problem is too much supply of human resources from outside Canada especially from India. This is around 35% and trying to concentrate in certain areas of Canada. This has caused too much burden on Health care, Transportation, housing, and other public services in those areas. Unlike the time I migrated to Canada, all places are now overcrowded. There are not enough job opportunities due to the large influx of students. Thousands of applicants for one job from the day they arrive here. You can get some idea of how many applied on the job site Indeed. This has resulted in companies and job agencies exploiting students by paying low wages and firing them indiscriminately. Therefore, both the Canadian government and the Indian government have a role to play and Students too should be aware of the real situation here.

Indo scammers in Canada scam their own tribes..\nsunshine...\nreal Canadians do not want no brown towns

Depends on where you are from. If you are from a shithole country like India that does not even have footpaths then yes it is worth it to move to Canada.\nIndians who moved to Canada bought houses with any issues like goons (with backing of politicians) occupying their houses. But People who are born and brought up in India are not able to buy plots in outskirts of big cities because they dont know who reliably do verification or how to prevent goons (with backing of politicians) from occupying their plots.\n\nCourt cases about real estate should be resolved in minutes (yes minutes) but it takes decades in India.\n\nSo I repeat, If you are from a shithole country like India that does not even have footpaths then yes it is worth it to move to Canada.
