Canada is becoming unaffordable for even the middle-class, while oil companies, grocery stores & bank shareholders enjoy tax breaks. Owning a home has become impossible for many, many people now and, they see the writing on the wall.

Reason is Justinder Trudeau and Canada's policy of getting immigrants in quantity (not focusing on quality).

If immigrants come here because they want a better life I fully support their goals. If they come here expecting Canadfa to provide them a better life, they should stay home. We as Canadians born and raised are not given anything .We work for what we get. If an immigrant expects to be provided a job upon arrival that is not realistic. Buying a house takes the average Canadian years of working and saving to afford it. What makes it any different for an immigrant to Canada?

Big oversight here. Immigration credential fraud was/is a big reason many immigrants have had to re-educate in Canada. The cheats/bad eggs in the past who bought their diplomas or forged their credentials had destroyed a very welcoming country, hence the reason for this in the first place.\nAlso, asking Canadians to send out welcoming committees to new arrivals is another great way to irk Canadians who have always been way more friendly and opening than most.

The government could try to incentivise families to have more children. Canada like most Western nations has a low birthrate that does not replace itself, therefore immigration is needed to fill in the population gaps. So long as couples have one child or less, the government will have to turn to immigration. A declining population would devastate the economy. Don't believe the hype that not having kids is a favour to your country, it's not, they'll just import others.

Are they leaving Canada or are they leaving Quebec?

Canada is a challenging country for immigrants. Many professional obstacles, locals not open to newcomers, high cost of living, and the weather is killing. No wonder immigrants are leaving!!

Come to Canada then get a Canadian passport and go home. Any problems that Canadian passport come handy.

the immigrants that are coming to Canada are realizing that we are not a sovereign country at all. Our leaders pretend to be independent but they actually are willing to sacrifice the Canadian people for the sake of their handlers in Washington.\n\nThe job of a satellite, puppet state is to sacrifice itself at the command of its masters. The leaders of Canada, are doing this perfectly.

Canada taught me that never give activists political power.

I am a c++ programmar moved to canada 5 years ago looking for a job in tech . Three years of searching not found any job in tech . i did cleaning, taxi driver and restaurant job just get by . I was working in a very reputable company in back home. I made a mistake was move to Canada.

Canada is no longer a top option for people for many reasons but the main reason for a massive decline in this country is how things degraded since Justin Trudeau and the Liberals took office. i have never seen our country this bad my entire life. its almost unrecognizable. a leader who blocks foreign interference investigations in our elections has something to hide. this government is corrupt not only Canadians see it, but the world sees it.

The government has made a Canada a place where there is no way for an average middleclass earner to raise a family we are simply taxed to death. Anyone who wants to have a chance to put a roof over their head and not be slaved to this new form of Corporate Robber Baren basically has to leave Canada. This is a nice place to live its has way too many laws and regulations but it still is relatively safe and has a better than average School and Healthcare system. However we are taking in way more people than the system can handle and the only way to pay for it is to raise taxes and the cycle continues.

canada is no more like before. its dumping garbage of poor arab countries who are not good for the economy and ultimately people are paying high taxes for the refugees from arab world

Canada is a TRAP you end up being a SLAVE cost of living much to high and your Taxed to hell.

Canada has achieved the unthinkable by becoming one of the most expensive countries for basic needs. Argentina, 1 kg tenderloin 10 dollars, Canada 35 t0 40 dollars. Frozen almost rot vegetables, home rental at stratospheric rates. Gasoline, power, utilities, TAXATION, you name it. So, why staying? The next step by these protocommunists is food cards.

It’s not just Toronto and Vancouver it’s in every city and town in Canada we are all 1 paycheck missing will end us up homeless. Doesn’t matter the age or make or female. These numbers are way low

Those are citizens for interest and the moment they got their passport its time to kick Canada out

Over the past 3 years, and especially in 2023, I saw that immigrants from India literally flocked in high numbers to the small norther town where I've lived for decades. They're now the majority of workers in most retail positions. This influx has caused severe housing shortages. These newcomers aren't working in the construction industry. Some of them are buying and renting houses, driving up the housing prices dramatically. EVERYBODY is now suffering from the hyperinflation on housing prices and everything else. Our quality of life has plummeted. It isn't rocket science: allow huge influx of immigrants, and inevitably the result will be inflation, lower wages for competing workers, increased housing prices and dire housing shortages. Whoever planned this must have been aiming at destroying Canada.

What they was thinking Canada is goldmine ?

This reportage is totally right. \nI choose to live in Canada in 2005 I became citizen in 2010 but my experience, knowledge and University diploma are no valuable in Canada so I'm planning go back to my hometown where I used to live better than in Canada, lots of Canadians are considered to move there ( En el mar la vida es más sabrosa ) ???☀️?

I only received a PR card and returned to my home country. \nThere is absolutely no reason to live in Canada with wages that are below the cost of living, crazy prices, murderous monthly rent, and medical services that are frozen in time.

I lived in Canada since I was 19 years old, for 13 years, and I finally left for Switzerland 3 weeks ago. Trudeau broke Canada and turned into a very dark and depressing place.

Canada is going to became like Venezuela in 20 years. The country is not managed properly, corrupted etc. I’m going back to Europe.

Send all punjabi students back he's all criminal Trudeau hatao canada bacho

It s ridiculous canada dont value my job experience and the only way is manufacturing and manufacturing. And the immigration policy is keep changing every single month causing incredible confusion all the time.

When you have a large chunk of Canada being ran by xenophobic premieres who don't wanna get with the program, this will continue to be an issue for the next decade at least

combination of things imo... cost of living in places you want to live are expensive.. you can relocate to places that are cheaper, but they are cheaper for a reason.. usually remote with bad weather... the weather in general in canada is not ideal for most and we don't have the options like the usa has. taxes as well

Canada is already too full, housing is scarce, and decent paying jobs are nonexistence. But the rich want cheap labor and that's what they're going to get. While Canadians are getting addicted to drugs.

I like Canada. I even thought about moving to Canada 20+ years ago. But with the housing situation, probably not now.

Trudeau wrecked Canada. What do you expect?

Cant blame them for leaving. Trudeau turning Canada into a lawless dump.

Can't imagine how horrible their home countries are to want to come to Trudeau's Canada during high and worsening inflation. maybe they have an outdated image of Canada?

Nobody wants to stay in Canada anymore because it is to expensive to live here thanks to the liberals

Saw your video for about 15 min waiting for problems in Canada due to which you came back. It looks like an internal problem, nothing related to Canada life.

Canada Immigration officers are very wise. You can't beat them through lies.

The Price of living is sad in Canada.

Trudeau wants illegal immigrants, especially fighting age men, wake up Canada, things are about to get worse.

Life is always harder under a Trudeau government. He has destroyed Canada.

I don't understand how come they don't have jobs and everyone world wide is scrambling to go to Canada ??since the notion is that Canada has alot of opportunitys

The homelessness in Canada is more notables in Vancouver east end , because the weather is more favorable for these people to live outdoors in tents, otherwise back east like Toronto Montreal won’t survived the cold winter will died frozen in the streets , most of the addict come to Vancouver because they can stand the mild winter , still many died overdose and goes unnoticed

So I was born in Russia, then moved to Toronto, then lived in New York for 5 years... Let me tell you waits in emergency room in New York aren't nearly as bad as in Toronto... but costs... 300 dollar copay when my employer in New York was giving me one of the best insurance available in US... But I just didn't like living in US... I moved back to Toronto eventually to lower pay, mainly because my relatives are here... but having social safety net and stuff like that is nice, even if my salary in Toronto is lower than in NYC...\nP.S. both USA and Canada are way better than living in Russia tho

Many Indian Muslims are moving to Canada due to dangerously rising Islamophobia

Damn, really had to hit me with the canadian housing crisis just after hyping Canada up ? pls don't remind me I can't afford a home here

I'm only 12th pass and 45 yr young I like Canada may I survive there without money .?

What you have said is very true, however there are people who would still like to relocate to Canada because of lot of things.\nAny relocation in the new place there is going to be difficult times but once they are settled, they are very happy in Canada,\nas they get used to the place.

Has it ever occurred to any of you (criticizing Canada and the US, etc) that half the planet is trying to migrate to these western countries both legally and illegally? Thousands and thousands each month! No surprise that foreigners, and the born and raised, are now having to compete for homes/jobs. Be grateful if a country is trying to help u leave the place (ie India & Africa) that u wish to leave ... instead of complaining about it. Perhaps borders should be closed instead?

High quality of life, stop the lies!!! It is today unaffordable everywhere in Canada. The worst G7 country and govt. the Trudeau catastrophic economics/immigration policies have ruined this country for good and forever!!!

Canada is not a promised land anymore. I lived there for three years, and got back to India.
