Canada is awful. Since I moved here 1,5 years ago I’m just struggling with the depression all this time. There is no joy in this country, no feeling of safety. Crime is happening all the time. I don’t feel safe walking on the streets. My salary is low bcz no employer is willing to pay good money to an immigrant. I’m not able to afford a car but the public transport is just terrible! I can barely afford to split the rent with my partner. Barely can save any money. As an immigrant I will never be able to buy a property here. I lived and worked in another country and I was able to save so much money and have a great life, travel, buy food, have fun. Here I am not able to do this.

Canada may be better off without them

I see a lot of people in the comments romanticizing the United States. We have about 250,000-300,000 homeless unvetted folks from all around the world sneaking through the U.S. southern border each month. Fact: a couple of hundred people on the terrorist watch list have been caught at the border (and reasonably for every one caught and apprehended, a few more haven't been caught and are setting up sleeper cells as we speak). All the while, we are facing a dire housing shortage, and an explosion of homelessness and lawlessness is hitting every major U.S. city. It's about to get very crowded and even more violent here. Come for the opportunities legally, but always watch your back and be prepared to defend yourself, your home, and your family. A peaceful, quiet cold life in Canada may not be that bad in comparison. It doesn't take long for a lawless country to fall from grace no matter how prosperous it seems. Look at what happened to Venezuela within a single decade.

I was born in Canada and I can tell you that the Immigration policies are just scams, they only show and tell you what a person can easy achieve if that person wants (which are mostly lies) and then when someone immigrates to Canada they soon find out that it was pretty much all lies. I know someone from India that apparently has a computer engineering degree from his country, but, when he arrived in Canada and tried to find work, the government told him that his degree is not relevent in finding work, HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE???

Let me tell you , the majority may be Indians, but in fact they are not leaving permanently. Only citizens of India or permanent residents are leaving temporarily. They rent their home and live in India with that rent , there they get servants life is luxury if you got money. Second they are the reason for this hike in rent and housing- immigrants are the main reason for high rent and housing market especially greedy ones. Health care in Canada is not accessible even if it is free.

Mass immigration ruined Canada

how many immigrants were trying to leave Canada under Harper again? Ouchy

So they came all the way to Canada from their hellhole countries just to explain how their countries are better.. ?

I agree. Canada is becoming underdeveloped nation under Liberal govt so many immigrants with no homes and underpaid jobs to people who are skilled and degree holders. It’s a shame .

hey young woman is not strange what it's happening in CANADA. is not the lonely land which it occurs that? even here in FRANCE !! life become hard and increase outlaws too .life become expensive in all fields such work and get a job or making shopping and there are a lot of homeless on the street .another problem in FRANCE a wave of immigrant coming and it increases problem to find solution .bible book say we're living in hard time which people become selfish and wicked friend of themselve doing what is wrong don't have self control all this features lead to conclusion bible book say what is really true about our time you can read that information in Timothy chapter 3 one to five and look around you and awake open your eyes and your heart .

send them all home canada is for canadians

Im living in South Korea with my wife. I was also planning to move to Canada.. ?

Inflation isn't just affecting Canada. it's a worldwide matter.

I am all for immigration & people moving to Canada ?? for a better life, but the current methods and system is broken & out of hand

Stop Terrorism in Canada...Stop Iran...

Canada is going to hell because of the immigration \n\nAs a real Canadian and I mean real. \n\nThey’ve ruined this country

Why does Canada invite the Romanian beggars here? Just to continue begging with benefits?

Oh dear got no. MY GOD CANADA THINK OF THE CHILDRENS!

I absolutely as a Canadian agree that high immigration is certainly adding to our housing and Medical crisis. We need to stop bringing more people into our country until we deal with the crisis we have. Also I read that 40% of the immigrates that come to Canada leave due to those 2 crisis and no employment for professionals, I.E Doctor, nurses etc. I also noticed in the News there are increased in Hate Crimes

CANADA = Overpriced freezer

Canada is no longer

Immigrants! As if immigrants could afford a fcking house in Canada!

How does anyone imagine that there’s a capacity to add 150,000 new units of housing every year? Snow washing also adds to the demand and needs to be stopped. Snow washing makes Canada complicit in foreign corruption that robs citizens of those countries of opportunity. Shameful.

Is it why Canada make it so easy for everybody to migrate there to replenish those who left ?

For me and my wireless it was a better decision to leave Canada

Canadians are also ready to leave Canada

You will stay in Canada making YouTube videos.

Hot take : There is other places you can live in Canada other than Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto.

When Iran is better than Canada .. give me a break ..

$22B of industry in Canada every year is immigration. How the government will stop immigration? After all locals and immigrants are going to be suffered, not the government ?

Canada should consider older Americans who have their own health care and have skilled degrees. Often the age barrier is a problem. There is a severe teaching shortage in some provinces. I'd love to teach there but they need to consider older workers from compatible countries who are already financially stable who would love to live in Canada and would appreciate living there.

For sure, things are getting more tough around the world but what really surprises me is that the people who have been living for 10+ years in Canada saying that things changed in Canada. Well, of course, things will change, its changing everywhere including where you immigrated from. I have been in Canada for 5+ years now and finally am a citizen and I can tell you that where I came from is even worse in terms of inflation and affordability. People compare Canada to Dubai (where I came from) and say dumb things about the luxuries available there forgetting they can get these luxuries anywhere if they have the money. Even Dubai now, is much worse than 5-10 years ago, so take a chill pill and know what you really want in life and if the style of Dubai or Bali suits you more, then go ahead, Canada is not holding you hostage :D

Does it worth living in Canada and freezing

What do you expect when you increase people’s mortgages to double figures like literally 220%? Even a lot of my sensible family friends who are recent immigrants, who are well-educated and well paid are looking to move because even with family income of 300000 one can’t afford a detached home and crazy expenses like groceries, utilities, scammed insurances, dubious healthcare, unnecessary taxes. Rather move back home, have a house maid for cleaning, cooking, ad driver for your car and can expect better social lives with families and friends, get decent increments every year just have to put up with the crazy traffic, pollution.. At least you will live a decent life and not make Canada Govt and its banks richer!!!

Trudeau gouvernement and NDP alliance broke canada ??

canada is more than vancouver and toronto

The government should be very clear to immigrants. Canada doesn't need workers in the Professions. Canada needs janitors and donut servers willing to live with two other families in a 2 bedroom condo or we need the rich to fleece off of. Just go onto indeed leave the key word blank and set the location as Vancouver. Most jobs you'll find pay 45-50 k or demand experience so specific no immigrant and most residents can't hope to qualify. Canada has a labour shortage the same way it has a shortage of 40k Porches.

Canada's becoming less of a melting pot and more of an international airport.

Don’t come to Canada, it is terribly cold.

Very powerful presentation. Good job. Please can someone with a visitor's visa apply for this inside or outside of Canada?

Canada is messed up. Hopefully, things improve relatively quickly.

Same issue in Canada. They are above the law.

Canada is unsafe due to drug mafias, govt's support to Terrorism under freedom of expression, Radical Jihadi elements etc

Canada is for those people who are willing to gap the bridge between eastern and western cultures. In Canada if someone is willing to give 100% effort for about 3 to 4 years, personal growth is amazing. You are very honest about the information you have provided in this video. It would been nice if you were able to travel cost to cost in this country. I wish you the best. You have lovely children.

Canada is a highly developed third world country? Hahaha!

Now after Canada and us back to africa to invest in or you gonna move to heaven?

Please move to us not canada

2nd generation Canadian here… maybe 1% of the people coming to Canada now have professional careers maybe 10% have professional career training/education. Most are welfare sponges.

Lived all my life in Canada. I love the country and would've stayed if the job market was better, I specifically lived in Calgary and I don't think I really got racism from other groups of people except for the first nations. Been called the n word too my face as I walk by but I never let it bother me that much

Unfortunately, Canada and the US are wings of the same bird.
