Pls am in Ghana now , how can I get Visa to Canada?

I would go to Canada for you.

Canada has a massive hypocrisy that counters their 'inclusive' image. They are in fact more exclusive than most places, and extremely elitist, and discriminatory. Their immigration does not help matters by having a system that is SO insanely classist, that really only rich people can enter, and even then, it may not be enough. I read about a millionaire that was rejected entry, because they had a deaf child! Can you imagine?? So they are also extremely ableist as well, and lacking logic, as a millionaire can obviously afford their own child's medical care, and what does it matter anyway when Canada is supposed to have national health coverage?? So nuts. Yeah, they don't want to own that. They just love to call out the USA, whose immigration rules are FAR more lax than Canada's, or really most countries for that matter. Most people are totally ignorant about how the USA system actually works. Anyone can move to the USA. We let TOO MANY people in. Canada only wants young, rich, successful people to enter their country. Everyone else can just drop dead for all they care, and hey, with the laws about 'voluntary life ending', and how they are grossly encouraging that now for anyone who may be old, depressed, or otherwise 'expendable', what do we expect?

As a Canadian who lives in Canada, Canada went downhill so fast that it's a bad idea to live in Canada.

Canada seems to have no future. Its young generations have been damaged beyond repair by the woke state education system and the media. The danger for the kids lurks not in the streets, but in school rooms. If you care about your children and your family, stay away from Canada - that country is bent on destroying them. The growing economic hardships are only side-effects of the moral bankruptcy of the nation. Canada will serve as an important object lesson about the fruits of a successfull neo-Marxist revolution. This may be the last useful role it has to play in the world.

Canada should do better

You are the only reason that I want to come to Canada

I am a naturalized Canadian. I lived in Europe for 10 years .I moved to Canada 50 yrs ago.I live in Canada very happily and your program seems to be quite nonsense. Canada is the best country to live, very tolerant and civilized.

What a ponzi scheme ... I guess this is the whole history of Canada in the past 15 years ... disgusting !

I hope anyone thinking of migrating to Canada, watchs this ?Canada is not the land of milk and honey, look to U.S or Vietnam, Thailand if you want that.?

However broken it is, I'm still making myself adapt to its requirements. I'm likely to go through the professional route where I get sponsored by an employer for a professional job to get that green card. Canada sucks and that's why I'm investing in my education to get out of here and get a much higher paying job down south

Agreed coz one of my relative went to Canada in 2005 in winters..you won't believe he came back after 3 months..\nNow he got a better job and owns a house in Pakistan and a content life with his family.

Canada

Canada and California are woke and leftist.\nCanada and California are losing people in high numbers.\n\nAny correlation there?

Trudeau has literally destroyed Canada if he stays I will have to seriously think about leaving I’m disgusted in my country

I agree many of your points but some are slightly off base. You need to understand that the price of ..let’s say telecom is built in a linear topology so that there are much fewer regional centres across the country to spread the cost of infrastructure. This is true for the railway..trans-Canada highway…air transport..and yes telecom network.\n\nSecond..it’s kind of ironic that you are enthusiastic about new immigrants soon coming into the country…but then you immediately talk about a housing shortage..with construction way behind….so with that being the reality…how is this immigration wave going to affect an already overloaded / overpriced housing situation across the country?

Most Canadians live in Toronto and Vancouver. But those are some of the least beautiful places in Canada. I think the territories are the best. Nahanni National Park, Dempster Highway, and very few people.

The writer and most of the people who gave yes to this article will rush to Canada if they get a work or long stay visa. Some of the yes people may be from countries who have developed a bad relationship with Canada.

Took a fishing trip to Canada and our guide told us how frustrating the Country has been for them, in a region very remote, it was essentially neglected

Canada was not like this before Trudeau. Trudeau has turned Canada into a third-world country, and he's not done. Plus, he is bringing in millions of illegal immigrants, mostly muslims . Nothing but ungrateful trouble maker's. If you want to live under a communist dictator, then come here . But bring a tent and be ready to live outside in minus 30 weather . Winter is here, and there is no place to go.

Dear Honorable Minister, \nI will request our Canadian immigration and Canadian border security to stop issuing visas and bringing more Indian students and work permit holder. We don't have more spaces and jobs to accommodates.. They are big burden to local governments. \n One of my job collage born here and her family was born here, she was crying and complaining about her kids can not get jobs at Wendy's of Tim Hortons bcuz all local Canadian students jobs are taken over by Indian students. what a Shameful and she was so upset. \nShe said Canadian citizens need to get priority to get local gas stations or fast food restaurants or super stores jobs, IT related jobs instead of international student. \ninternational students after work drive fast and don't follow traffic rules. \nImmigration Canada needs to check completer back ground ,every single Indian student or work permit visa holders. Some of them could be Indian secret services agents, they could be cause more trouble for Canadian citizens and Sikh \nMost of Indian Hindus are inspired by Modi's party BJP and RSS terrorist organization was involved in killings of Indian Christian , Muslims and other Indian minorities. \nThanks for your time \nGod Bless our beloved country Canada.

Let this digest... The population of Canada is less then that of California.. you cannot compare them to the USA

One of the sweetest videos I've come across on Canada. No negativity or hate-mongering, just facts as it is in the simplest of ways. I've been living here for almost 3 years now- and I'm used to being alone, but I still find the void maybe its seeing your own people back home. I'd say it's quite a struggle to live here and you start to accept it as a norm. But I love motorcycling and I am overwhelmed by the natural beauty- did some amazing rides in summer, but unfortunately winters are here now. While I have three years on my OWP, I'd use that time to gain more experience, travel across the beautiful landscapes and head back home. I don't see myself settling in here- not my kind of life. I am very adaptive and have come up on my own in life from a very tough childhood- I love Canada for what it is, but then it's just not for me.

The best time to be in Canada was between 1967- 1997. Now things have deteriorated in Canada to such an extent that it resembles a 3rd world country.

Of course, the Palestinians don't want to leave Gaza. it's Paradise. Half a dozen different peoples consider Palestine their ancestral homeland. Things don't work out there's a little thing called a diaspora where they travel to other places in the world and set up quite remarkable lives. Millions of Muslims live in the US Canada Britain Europe and none of them are thinking boy the minute this little dust-up in Gaza is over we're setting up shop with the remnants of Hamas.

Canada mein Jogar Nahi hei..??? There everything works for money... No free lunch as such !!! No one has spare time anyone... not even relatives...!! Even to meet parents one has to take appointment...??? Reality of developed nation...!! No one is idle... ??

I had the opportunity to emigrate to Canada circa 2015/2016, but choose UK(Edinburgh) instead. I don't regret is for a second, lovely people, affordable -I live 15 miles outside of the city, people are great and plenty of destinations are 2-3hr. flight away.

Oh please, you people are spoiled whiners that want to be spoon fed. Try working for peanuts in third world countries and all of a sudden canada is a cake walk with icing you can actually enjoy?

to get a good pay job in Canada, companies requires references, and new immigrants have no choice but to look for a low pay salary minimum wage and I feel that's a conspiracy on the new immigrants

I would encourage Canadians to get involved more in politics and demand changes to the system. Housing is high in Canada due to lack of building permits and blue collar laborers. Canada accepted a high rate of white collar skill immigrants but lack job opportunities for them. Vancouver economy is tourism dependent while Alberta is energy base and Toronto financial base. Healthcare is available for every Canadian but salaries are low in the industry compared to US. The government should encourage companies to invest in Canada and create jobs for the economy. Since the tax rate in Canada is higher compared to the US, citizens should ask themselves if the money is going to good use and generating jobs in the economy.

Et bien bonne chance, 38.24 Millions de Canadiens decident de rester dans ce magnifique pays…comme si le cout de la vie était tellement plus bas ailleurs..pourquoi dépenser de l’énergie pour chialer sur le Canada, des YouTube clicks ?

For context Statscan reports that population grew by 430,000 (0.5%) in Q3. In the same period 32,000 left. These are permanent residents and by definition exclude international students. On the other hand 42,000 actually left Canada in the first 6 months of 2023 this is in addition to the 94,000 who left in 2022 and 86,000 who left in 2021. More people talk about leaving than those who actually act on it.

Canada is not perfect. Our health care is over burdened for one thing, and real estate is overpriced. But I don't know any of my fellow Canadians leaving en masse. Like, where would we go? The Scandinavian countries aren't exactly welcoming any of us with open arms... All countries have their problems. Canada is the partner you settle for because there aren't a lot of better options

It’s better to GO back to your country.. Canada is becoming a 3rd world country!!

Canada is full .... dont want any more here .... close the borders for 10 years

I'm in Nigeria i will love to work as a home support worker and travel to Canada by 2024 please how can i get Job offer from here please someone help

Leave the canada alone.This is one side of the story other side of the story is that indian students are involved big time in crimes from fighting stabbings to fraud everywhere in canada ?? and that's a serious situation at Brampton and Vancouver and other places now .

I was tinkering and planning for a full 5 years wanting to live in Canada, BC but decided not too after evaluating the monthly cost. Each annual visits gotten longer and longer to get the feel on the ground. It was not meant to be, perhaps next time thou.

Har saal Bharat ko laath mar kar , US ,UK , Canada , Germany etc. meh lakho log settle ho rehay hain . Citizenship lay rehay hain . \nKaya ye sach nehi hai ?

its funny how USA and Canada in their graphs spend more money on healthcare thenothers while in same time peoples dont have something out of that when they need it !! where they spend that money if you must pay out of your pocket directly again??

Another reason,and the most important is that is Canada is becomming a woke, anti free speech ,autoritarian ,..etc government( like Australia and other Commonwealth British ruled countries)

There is no one reason why people are leaving but the main reason is there has been a massive change in Canada in 20 years to include a lot of foreign gangs and foreign government interference

Why is Canada so expensive? It’s a huge country and isn’t over populated.

canada dream dies longtime ago and especially now its completely destroyed unaffordable overtaxed destroyed by libtards

Symptomatic of Canada is the fact that on average Government employees earn 20% more than those in equivalent jobs in the private sector, they retire will fully indexed pensions equivalent to their 3 highest salary years (private sector employees must pay for their own pension or try and live off the universal pension of $1,200 per month from CPP), their benefits and vacation time are unmatched by the private sector. It is workers in the private sector and the companies that employ them who pay all the taxes required to compensate the most overpaid and bloated government service in the world. As a result, Canada's private sector is no longer competitive. It is a country where parents no longer encourage their children to find a high pay job in the private sector, they instead encourage their children to either move to the USA (if they're ambitious) or secure a government sector job. THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH CANADA. and God help you if you're born in Canada as a Caucasian Make your change of securing one of these high paying government jobs is close to zero.

Canada will eventually become a shithole like the third world with the volume of third worlders they are foolishly letting in!

I lived in Canada all my life and I want to leave bad

The most highly educated production facility workers in the world! Lawyers, Doctors, and Nurses work as vegetable cutters in Canada! ?

I live in Japan and don't regret selling my house last year in BC with the intention of not permanently living in Canada again. The healthcare system is much better here. Food is delicious and cheap...and no tipping. Houses are 1/4 of the price, with good houses for as little as....free...if you don't mind fixing them up a bit. It is safe and a short trip by public transportaion gets you either downtown or in the middle of nature. What happened to my country? Oh.....Canada.

Canada brought way too many immigrants from India. We need to stop immigration from there immediately.
