A South African who lived there a few years. Nothing felt better than getting on the plane to leave, and knowing I will never have to return. Even South Africa with the crime and load shedding is by far better. In many ways a man is more free here even if i have to live behind security systems. I can speak my mind without fear of some PC police and censorship, which is far worse prison. My standard of living is also far better here. I can ride my bikes as I please where in Canada I can only ride a few months and would lose my license in a month due to BS fines. And the people here are much more open and truly hospitable, not some fake politeness. I even missed the blacks here, who at least i can joke and chat with far easier than with canadians. I found I have more in common with black africans than with white canadians who look like me and speak the same language. We may have the same skin colour but are totally different in culture. It made me realise I am more african than western, proud of it, and I would prefer to live and die with the african sun on my face with wide open space, than in some dark, cold, gloomy place living in cramped quarters in some libtard paradise constrained by so many laws. Of course black south africans will not like to hear that whitey has no plans to leave, but this is my home as much as theirs, I contribute to making the country somehow still function, and my kids are also more interested in making the nation run than running off to Australia, or even worse, Canada.\n\nI am so glad I didn't meet a woman there and get stuck. Canadian women are very unappealing and too feminist. I am grateful I had my kids with a proper traditional South African woman, and can live in traditional Afrikaner society where men are men and women are women, and there is no place for PC, gender confusion, and other libtard ideas. And i could raise my kids as proper south africans that the liberal world loves to hate. \n\nI can understand why north americans turn to asian wives, although that could never have been an option for me. \n\nHope Canada works out for you. If you are introvert then you have a chance.

Government are a bunch of snakes. There brought in so much immigration and corruption crime stealing cars. High insurance rates canadians have to move out of canada

Need an update. Now Calgary is the most expensive city to live in Canada.

Come to French Canada ?? fix your money problem.

Second biggest country on earth but when it comes to living space, there is a housing/space shortage WTF ?!?! Trades people are very lazy and the housing market is rigged. I left Canada.

Why do people prefer to come to Canada? Canada currently has a very high cost of living, but salaries are also very low, and employment taxes are high.

My late grandad lived in Canada and was in the Canadian army in ww2 .\nI also have a good friend who lives there as well there dictator or so called leaders destroyed there's economy due to his insane ideas may be its time to show him the door ASAP but he will cling on for as long as he can its a shame as it looks lovely God bless the Canadian people

Very true...Canada is not worth immigrating to.

I live in Canada. This is all true. Living here sucks now especially with the long cold winters. Can't wait to leave:)

Canada is a communist dictatorship. The friendly idiots have been sleepwalking into a totalitarian dystopia.

Canada is not a country but an EXPERIMENT.

Canada is inviting labour from India & other Asian countries for their growth n survival

Immigration flood washed away existing canadian citizens ,…..im sad ,canada dream was illusion .i was a Dentist by profession ,but i wasted money and years in process of being a dr here,while canada is inviting international visitors to attempt these costly exams for grabing money and on the other hand ,chances for canadian citizen dentists are substantionally decreasing due to this stupid strategy.

I’m canadian. Everything that you find wrong with Canada is also happening in the EU in the United States anywhere in the entire world. This is not a country division. This is a class division of the rich and poor on the global stage.

Canada has a few problems like these: Many many people want to come live in Canada, last year more than a million people came to our country. The total population of the country is now greater than 40 million people. This is putting enormous pressure on the housing market, this is why in part the cost of housing is very high. Also, ridiculous monetary policy from many central banks to bring the interest rate to zero has helped create a real estate bubble. Rates are now higher and this is cooling the market. Immigration is also putting pressure on the health care system and education system. \n\nNow if there has been a lot of inflation it is partly because the country is rich and many people have lots of money. Yes there are people suffering from the situation but believe, the shopping centres are full of people, the restaurants are full, etc. Life is still very good for those people that have been smart with their money.

The problem of very high rents , escalating food & utility bills is not just a Canada problem. \n1) The big issue is corporations & small mum & pop landlords who are driving up property prices.\n2) not recognising overseas qualifications is another big issue, this alone will put people off from coming.\n3) provinces restricting new builds drives people towards renting which is a poverty trap.

The video falls short. The legal system is just as broken as the health system and education has turned into indoctrination.\n\nBut most important is that there is no freedom of expression. The govt. has frozen innocent people's bank accounts with no court order just because they did not align with govt's ideology. There's also active persecution of people that criticize govt. and there's higher than ever govt. corruption.\n\nIf you have kids, the govt. promotes gender transition and as a parent you have no power to even delay—let alone stop—your kid from following irreversible medical procedures.\n\nIn short, Canadian govt. treats you badly and is looking for new ways to invade people's privacy, like implementing CBDC and a social credit system.\nAnyone who does their homework will not consider Canada a place to live in.

Canada US is not suitable for Indian however if he young comes \nfor studies then ok u have to scary for better future. India is educationwise, and othe rliving is better tahn Canadian US but it depends oyour choice. One can be more comfortable in own culture and cutry.

Greetings pls those this visitor visa implies to conference visa and can one use conference visa to get a job in Canada?

Tel lagane gaya canada, you are very beautiful, i like it

Why do people still keep coming to Canada? Because it's even worse where they come from. Unfortunately, even countries in Europe are in trouble. Have a look at France and Germany. Germany is in debt and in recession; all Latin EU countries are in debt up to their eyeballs, facing bankruptcy thanks to free spending liberal governments. As for Developing Countries, their GDPs are not enough to deal with their populations reaching working age. Their growth is too slow, so opportunities abroad look attractive. And, if immigrants move onward to the USA, that is the natural flow Canadian immigration has had for decades. The Can. government will need to become heavily involved in creating affordable, high density housing, cut red tape, and make education cheaper if they want to retain migrants.

All your points are valid. I would add that, sadly, many come to Canada to get a citizenship of convenience. Once they have a dual citizenship as Canadian, they go back to the home country and only remember that they are Canadian when they want or need something. Making dual citizenship illegal would resolve this. You are in or you are out. He who serves two masters, serves neither.

It is very painful to us Canadians to recognize that this nation has gone to hell.\nUnless immigrants come from war zones or natural disaster stricken countries, we are going to end up with a very empty second largest country in the world, and even though a lot of disenchanted new immigrants are leaving Canada after a couple of years.\n\nThe key word here is greed, that is destroying this nation. The pursue of the American Dream is contagious, not only by geography but because a lot of people, around the world, still believe in such a naive concept.\nOne has to observe what is happening in the USA to realize, that following its trends, inevitably will take us to the same dangerous reality : a country and a system hated and increasingly becoming isolated.\n\nCanada still has the resources and the human presence to do much better, before it is too late, mind you.\nGreetings from Toronto.

First of all it's not Canada, it's changed to Chinada and it's not run by Trudeau, it's Dumbdeau. Simple as that . No competive or hard working Europeans are let in . Not wanted in the least .if I was young there is no way in the world I would be here . The next stage is communism and it's not far off .

Canada just america 2.0

Justin T is worse PM of canada . Home Crisis is big thing in canada .

I agree with parents being uneasy with sending their children to school , people out- house bat crazy can buy guns with no problem . Our health care is much better and our education is by far superior. American coffee is disgusting and their beer tastes like its been filtered through a horse . O CANADA I STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE ..........

Im about to move from the USA to Canada, my type of visa here denies me to have a stable normal life for many reasons, also many of the issues that canadians face are the same than americans does, I belive if you try to live in Vancouver or Toronto you can not expect to save a lots of money, Im moving to a Rural very turistic area, I will have employee housing and I belive ill be able to survive and save money, not like here ofc, but I will have a more stable life in many different aspects, Im a chef so for me its normal to work long shifts which provides me of food most of the time. I still hope that I will be very happy.

Canada was a nice place until Trudeau got in.

Good day, I am looking to migrate to Canada via the study route please i need your help about this, my proof of funds is actually proceeds from my work as a crypto trader which am not a registered company it’s a sole business I do myself how do i explain the source of the fund and back it up with relevant documents since all the information online states that I have to show the source of the money.\n\nPlease I would appreciate if you can give me some heads up about this.

Dost he to hai jo fsana chahte hai khud to gye hai jaha muje bi roz preshan karte rehte hai jaha JOb nhi lgegi Canada aa jao khud to salle fass gye hai waha jakr muje bi fasana chahte hai

Why it is a must to go to Canada and become the citizen? Come to Iran if you want wonderful life.

It would be interesting to see how the Americans who moved to Canada feel about Canada. i would love to hear that

We left because Canada is totally communist in disguise. So glad you mentioned the government. They helped ruin our successful home business of 10 years. It's also becoming way too woke with SOGI being taught to children. God help them!

Canada can't beat the U.S in a war and that's all that matters???

Canada is a cold, overregulated, overpriced, woke-ridden country, the only upside is the wild untouched nature, but not every immigrant appreciates it. Considering many countries suffering from falling demograph, one has better places to apply himself.

I left Canada after 23 years, the Biggest mistake of my life, Moved from the US to Canada( arranged marriage)where I lived in the USA for 15 years, Now starting life Solo from scratch at 55? in India ???

Hi.\nAs a Japanese, they are No.7 and No.8 most surprised. It is natural in my home country to say many words of apology as a national trait, but in other developed countries, it may be an act that is dreaded because it is easily socially disadvantageous.\n\nIt is interesting because although they are often lumped together in the frame of Western countries, Canada and Germany, Canada and France, and Canada and Australia have different cultures, values, climates, religious beliefs, etc. like gradient colors.

The only reason I'm seeing this video is because I'm not in canada right now. When I'm in canada I never see this content.

Australia has a lot better lifestyle & pay rates are significantly higher than Canada.\n\nMy husband & I are a medical professional, offered MD by Australian university with 100% scholarship along with wages in top dollars and various perks.\n\nAfter completion of my degree I wanted to explore Canada. I secured a job before moving to Canada. \nDespite everything was organised, I struggled a bit to settled in Canada, ended back in Australia.\n\nI’m happy to have one foot in india & another in Australia.\n\nSome of the issues i faced in in Canada:\n\nExtreme harsh Weather for someone with back pain etc, which I have. \n\nAgain, weather not suitable for both of our parents.\n\nWages are very low compare to Australia even after adjusting the currency difference.\nThis was my imperative requirement to support my family back in India. \n\nTax rate is higher than Australia.\n\nTechnically, pay rate is low, tax is high. \n\nAustralian universities offer better quality education than that of Canada. I need to continue my studies. \n\n\nI hope this information help someone as I wasted my time, energy & money due to the lack of information ?

For Indian Canada is like Gulal Archipelago

That girl when she was wearing the Bandit mask I would have went up to her you're living in Canada you don't need to hide your face anymore is a free loving country but what is free for Canadians anymore pay taxes pay taxes pay taxes

Australia has good transportation system, especially Victoria & Sydney.\nYour PM is a crazy man. If you are a terrorist Canada will welcome you.

Awesome, this is true face of life.. in Canada..

Canada is a lie.

Hello sir. I’m in Canada on visiting visa. I’m trying to convert to work permit but I haven’t made yet. I just applied for an extension of my visiting visa. Please sir I need an LMIA job as soon as possible. I’m very disturbed over my situation here in Canada. Any information can be of good help to me. I’m in Windsor currently sir

What is the point in legal immigration when both Canada and America let more illegals and refugees into the country instead of deporting them.

The problem too, is a lot of these professionals only get accepted to come because they have certain qualifications, but once they arrive they find out their qualifications are useless, and have to go back to school at their own expense. It's like a cycle to add profit to the Canadian post secondary system. Why not be straightforward with them before they come? I understand there needs to standards maintained in each profession, but why not allow them to be completely assessed beforehand and upgrade to Canada's standard before coming so they can join the work force. We desperately need doctors, they are here, but working outside their field because they need to provide for their families.

Thanks to Trudop opened the floodgates with no proper planning or consideration for the negative effect of tripling the numbers of comers on the food cost, home pricing, housing rentals, the high cost of buying cars, and the traffic on highways. Hundreds of thousands from India and other poor countries come on a visit visa and are stuck here forever trying to get a job regardless of the qualifications, and experience. In the past, there was a criteria to select the best and most experienced to come work and live in Canada. Quality not quantity.

WE NEED MORE IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES COMING TO CANADA! EVERYONE POSTING HERE IS RACIST EXCEPT ME! I LOVE FOREIGNERS! INCREASE IMMIGRATION NUMBERS, NOW!
