Left Canada when I was 16 and never wish to return. About the media Canada's media and American media has been owned and corrupt by most of the same people. You really never got to know US, though they have their troubles. For example, the same as Canada, they return to voting for the most corrupt of politicians and those who wish to ruin North America. Were you better off 3.5 years ago or now is the most simple question that should be asked of everyone. Good thing you lived in Vancouver, because in many parts of Canada they are always argu and fight internally.

toronto isnt canadas capital city lmao \nits the PROVINCE CAPITAL \n\nnations capital is Ottawa. \n\nwhat a shame

He talked a lot more about all of this situation than all the medias in Canada.

Canada is going to kick the ass

Canada needs to start taking care of our own.

Canada is for CANADIANS. No more vacancy! Put Canadians first! \nMake Canada great again

From Australia to Canada? that's not good! Good luck ?

my wife left canada and ,live now in the netherlands because the healfcare is gone si bad. iam dutch and we meet here in holland,we are now married for 13 years and i love to live in canada, but they make it so difficult for me to become a candian. very sad.

I have lived in Canada for 43 years, I still feel homesick. I wanted to go back the very next day.

Fix the government & stop showing the world that Canada is safe heaven for rest of the world. I have seen Ukraine refugees taking money from Canadian gov later leaving back once the money is finished. I have seen people coming to Canada with Gov 40-50K once that is finished they leave. Safe supply is a joke while government is legalizing heroine. Addicted person will not blame the the drugs. They will always find someone else to blame. Fix housing. Stops Blaming students and migrants for your own issues. Drugs are free for addicts and then blaming for skilled people trying to make it here. They are trying make better life and contribute + they have to pay taxes for this nonsense. What they get is racisms. While US people are straight to your face and tell you everything on your face. But Canadian people pretend to be open. But they stab you in the back.

Trudeau must go!! Poilievre is Canada's only hope to turn this nightmare around.

10:10 Canada has no culture or else it wouldn't have been in this mess. White people are just blank slates. Other than that, great video.

The homeless capital is Vancouver downtown east side. Toronto is the most expensive city in Canada. They don’t have the infrastructure for all these people. Lot’s of these bums don’t want to work.

I'm watching this from a camp at the edge of the city... Canada has become unsurvivable... I'm working poor... And shelter system is broken for working class folk... Big money in homeless industrial complex. It's a manufactured system and it's designed to make it a revolving door to keep people down and out.

Toronto and most of Canada is definitely looking a lot like California nowadays

Largest country russia,150 million,2nd largest country canada 50 million.Not pro anything or not condoning anything.P.S-india is 1.5 billion.perspective.

jobs shortage, poor health care, very expensive - Canada is not the safe place to be now.

Really BBC? I didn’t expect such a bias and poorly reported piece from you guys. What editor for the reputable BBC would even sign off on such a direction? \n\nYES it’s normal to see a drop in citizen application when the government made it much more difficult for permanent residents to do so. There was an intent there to naturally filter out what had become a burden on government funds and resources. I’m sorry but if you are living in Canada’s largest city [Toronto], don’t be shocked that cost of living is ridiculously expensive. The same will apply to every other western nations largest city. And yes Canada’s second largest city [Montreal] is ridiculously cheap, but good luck trying to get in when you not only need the Canadian federal governments approval for citizenship but the Quebec provincial governments as well where fluency in the French language is now a requirement. \n\nAt the end of the day, your education abroad provided you with tools and resources that helped implement your vision. It allowed you recognize the changing dynamic of the global economy, the bygone era of easy opportunity and progress in the western world and the significant leaps and growth that your own “developing” nation has made, allowing you to easily break into your own market with much success than struggle surrounded by red tape, by laws, bureaucracy, expenses and competition while balancing yourself in a culture with societal norms and customs that are unfamiliar and new to you.

Set quotas for Indian immigrants entering Canada.

Begore you go yo Canada get a certificate in a vocational skill. You will get a job faster.

Why would you want to move to Canada? The government supports the genocide in Gaza! you can't trust a genocidal country. I'm a Canadian and I am ashamed.

I welcome, as a born Canadian, immigration. My opion is that you stay. Permanently. Dont come to Canada, work then leave. If you don't want to live here, don't come.

Not canada is becoming a communist country , move anywhere but here ?

Canada does not have a shortage of people for labour; Canada has a shortage of educated people who can perform. Our education systems are an abject failure that have produced a generation of citizens who are not prepared to work. Our students understand their LGBTQs but can barely comprehend ABC123s or what a T4 is, much less write them down. Our shortages are knowledge and skill, not population.

Canada is FULL. We have been replaced

I think justin as set up this invasion/ mass immigration to destroy Canada as we know it. he has sold us to the highest bidder. it's much easier to control people from 3rd world countries who are used to being told what to do by their government.

On name of labor, we have few thousands gangster getting in Canada from Punjab India

Sam Cooper! these fraudsters voting in Canada?\nSunny Wang also buys a house with fraudulent money, faked mortgage documents, and his fake business while im scraping by! wake the F up Canada!

The libreals r going distroy canada.

I am shocked to learn that people coming on Tourist visa (from developing countries) to Canada can apply for Job here and once hired can change visa status while in Canada. Never have I ever heard about this while staying in UK on work permit for 4 years that UKBA /Home Office has ever approved such low quality visa that Trudeau is flexible about. Neither Harper's/Kenney's administration (under which I immigrated to Canada back in 2014) has ever approved such cockamamie change of visa status. This is unfair to those who paid all legal fees/been working hard and never relied on the benefits proposed by the Canadian..yikes!Turdo has made Canada into a 3rd world dump...

Why because like Australia, Canada is extremely wealthy with resources. Our enemies know that and they want it. Some involved may even be our faux friends. They have taken over all institutions in the west, especially Canada. They are driving the country into the ground. Once the nation collapses, and we are too busy scrounging for food, or trying to keep our families safe, they will get to work exploiting. That's my theory anyway.

Canada will surely havte even more professional labour shortage in specific filed, IT people will leave Canada for USA . Universities have hard time recruiting and maintaining qualified professors bc even 120000 a year for Toronto and Vancouver are no longer sufficient to buy a house.

Let them go to Canada thats not out issue but we must stop them from coming to America illegal but good to see the Canadian police doing their job

Hi chorkor,\nThank you so much for this very valuable information. I think its left for the individual who has already acquired the visitor's visa and with dual intent, to decide if they will bear the consequences of going to the boring locations where jobs are available. Unless someone going to Canada to socialise vs being on a sole mission to work and have something to take back home. Poverty in Africa is real my brother. For most people they have seen the worst in their home country, and they are at a stage where they will accept to work in those 'boring' places. \nEven if there is no 'mad man' to keep one company, at least the remote places have work. That might just be treasure to someone who had nothing back home but raw poverty.\n\nThank you Sir, and God bless you for helping us with information.

The problems Canada is having now is politically made. After 8yrs of Justin Trudeau, this once beautiful and desirable country is now in shambles. High cost of living, unemployment, inflation, drug problems, rising crimes in every big cities, human rights being restricted, people are taxed to poverty are only a few of the issues Canadians are facing under this clown dictator Prime Minister Trudeau. This once shining beacon of democracy and prosperity is now dying slowly. Thanks to liberal voters who voted the worst PM in Canadian history.

So basically if I just get tired of living in the US or wherever I can just cross the border illegally into Canada and claim I need asylum?\nOr maybe some country in Europe. Basically wherever bc apparently a lot of countries don’t enforce their borders or deport people. Absolutely nuts.

People should come to Canada ?? and live off grid . City living is expensive and if you’re not an established Canadian for a few generations then it will be difficult unless you’ve a good job with a high salary or someone who has plenty of money.

Ol Indian live to Canada India have no problem the have evrithing

Next, a fascinating show about Canadians who cannot afford to live in Canada. Please don't come to the US where housing has also become unaffordable for many natives.

Immigration has destroyed Canada.

It sounds like Germany without the danger of a regional war within Europe. Can you please compare Germany and Canada since you lived in Germany, where I am currently living?

nothing is free in Canada . in 2024 the average Canadian cannot afford to buy a house anymore . if you are married then it becomes easier , but once you get divorced. you wont be able to even rent a place due to the cost of losing everything . the country has gown to shit, example two bedroom in albert 1250 old building, new building 1400, car payment 300-600 dollars, car insurance 300-400 dollars for new drivers and the list goes on

I left Canada to Mexico 5 years ago. Rent 500 USD for 2 bedroom furnished apartment at sea side. My grocery 300 USD per month including food and drinks. Car insurance 400 USD a year. Working online.

Ok... Toronto and Vancouver is a very small part of Canada... they are not the whole Canada... I understood the struggles but there are lots of places in Canada is what we say livable... Hey Im alone here in Edmonton... i pay mortgage,,, i pay bills,,, i pay debts,,, i support my family back home,,,, i buy whatever i want and most of all,,, i only have one job... and look!!! Im surving for 14 years now alone... Struggles should be dealt with willingness to do what is necessary,,, hardwork and resiliency not quitting... you will still have to work hard whether you go back home or go somewhere else... at least here in Edmonton,,, you're hard work is rewarding unlike most of the countries around the world...

How do you get into Canada they basically were going to strip search me at the border just to go on an ice climbing trip:)

Don’t get it? Canada is a springboard to move to the U.S.

Canada is unsustainable with no housing and high taxation.

I am from Germany. I used to think Canada is the best country in North America. Too many immigrants?

Everywhere is difficult not Canada alone ??‍♂️

Please can you seek asylum in Canada even when you are working there already and what if you don’t have any prove as regards to the reason for the asylum
