Canadian here - I've lived and worked in NYC and graduated university from Gonzaga in Spokane. I wish the US won the war of 1812 and Canada was part of America. I think Trump is unpleasant but Trudeau is worse. The legal system here sucks. The RCMP are soldiers not police. I'd move to the US in a heartbeat. I like the gun laws there and hunting wild pigs down south would be fun. Maybe I will one day spend more time there.

This isn’t a good thing for Canada at all

I have lived in Canada for 53 years. It is one of the best and safest countries in the world. \nPlease count your blessings!

Thanks so much for these information. I have been following you for quite a while. My question is that my wife is a Nurse who applied for Alberta Nursing board registration. Now she has been approved to write ENCLEX, an Entry exams. But she has to come to Canada through Visiting visa. Do you think is adviceable for her to come visa visiting visa. Thanks

Canada has immigrants but no vibrant economy. So very limited jobs.

Honestly I think that the political parties support immigration in Canada is because they have a direct economic benefit to it with high housing prices and so they allow more and more people like cash-cows to come in Canada.

Are they mostly moderate or high skill immigrants?\nOh wow, nvm\nWow that's a lot of money, especially if you're immigrating to the USA!!!! :O!!!!!\nTy Canada for helping to be a stop gap for the USA lol

I graduated from the one of the top engineering universities in Canada (a place that Facebook hires the most engineers from). I was born in India and moved here as a kid. despite the fact I am Canadian Citizen and specialize in semiconductor engineering (something that is needed badly in US) it is nearly impossible for me to emigrate there and have a chance at citizenship or green card. It is quite a frustrating process. US Immigration system and the uncertainty surrounding it is one of the biggest reasons I have not gone down for even work.

Honestly, Canada shouldn’t even exist. We need to fast track the invasion of canada

Canada has been falling behind in terms of living conditions, leadership and economy for well over a decade now and we are feeling the pressure

imagine guarding medical care, open crown land, clean water sources after polluting there's, yeah USA is a shit hole ready to implode from greed, it's well deserved tho. Canada needs it to. folks taking your, kids, pets, families, homes, this is gunna be epic.

I was born in Austria in 1950. We immigrated to Quebec in 1951, grew up in Ste Agathe des Monts, 1 hour north of MTL. Married a lovely American, two grown boys, have a wonderful life but would rather be living in Canada but my 72 year old life is here now !!

Bhai good evening kaise ho Bhai Canada me damco oil and gas company Kaisi hai

I thought it might be possible that you found an echo chamber, so I did some quick Googling. Apparently about 2.5% of Canada's immigrants are American, while 2% of America's immigrants are Canadian. Given the approximately 10-1 population ratio, that's a lot of Canadians moving to the US. I guess the Canadians who would move to the US don't hang out on Reddit.

Why do these refugees take it for granted that Canada is somehow responsible for their well being once they claim to be refugees, Canaca already has a robust refugee benefits for those who are persecuted in their home country. But, to think Canada should welcome them with open arms and open all doors for them to live comfortably they should look at ordinary struggling canadians and lower their expectation.

Actually most of the information is partially true and partially wrong. If you like Canada then you live in Canada and if you like India then you live in India. \nDon't convert $ into Rupees.

Canada required skilled workmanship..not as you laziness boys

DO NOT MOVE TO CANADA!

“I love Montreal,” said the chef at the beginning of episode four of the first season of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. “It is my favourite place in Canada

Tyler's reaction to Canadian fears about school shootings throughout this is that this is a big city problem, and if you move to a small town, you'll be safe and not have to worry about it. So, I got curious, and looked up the population of Sandy Hook, home to one of the most famous (feels gross to describe such a tragedy that way) school shootings. It has a population of less than 10,000 people. What is a small town to Tyler, because 10,000 people seems pretty small to me?\n\nAs a Canadian, I was utterly flabbergasted going into a US pawn shop and them just having a gun room. Enough guns to arm a small army. Hunting rifles. Handguns. Even one that looked like some kind of assault rifle. You can get guns in Canada, but at like, a hunting store, with proper licencing. The fact that you could go to a pawn shop and just...browse the guns there is so alien to me. Every country that has tighter gun control has fewer school shootings, and shootings in general. Like, shootings still happen here, but not to the same extent they do in America. American gun culture enables them because they both make guns so readily available, and have a culture that celebrates gun ownership in a way other cultures, like my Canadian culture, do not. I think our last school mass shooting was in the eighties? So, if I lived in the US, I don't think I'd be afraid to send my kid to school, but it would be way more of a concern than it is here, where I don't even consider the possibility of that happening at all.

This is embarrassing for Canada.

Life expectancy in Canada is 87 years. Unfortunately, is it much lower in most of other country. Just thing about it before leaving!

i wanna move to canada, i just hate sweden the people are so dead..

PS we're called Hollywood north. The same without the trffcing and more pay. \n-also I can be unemployed and pay no taxes and i still get healthcare in Canada. We don't have to work to see a doctor without getting billed. Thats the difference. Canadians are born with the right to healthcare vs. having to work or pay (probably both) to be diagnosed then pay for treatment separately. Healthcare is a universal right which is why visiting foreign tourists are treated in hospital the same as Canadians.

As a herb- Doctor, what can i do in Canada ?

Canada uses Newcomers to pay pensions of old Europeans through tax

Motivational podcast gd work Canada couple ❤

German immigrated to France. I could live in Canada, but never ever in the US. Reasons: Integrist Evangelists, healthcare, female healthcare, racism. Bookbanning. Trump and all his crazies. Guns and safety. Culture war. They give me a bigger soda there than here? Ok, keep it, I ll stay with small drinks

I always enjoyed a visit to the States. Not now\nMillions of people worship Trump\nThat tells me millions of people are as crazy as he is\nLove travel within Canada and the U.K.

I would be back in Canada in a flash if my children weren’t settled here. The politics, gun culture, religious extremism, healthcare costs are unbearable. Having said that, I have a good life but miss my culture and that Canada generally puts people before greed.

When you seek Asylum, it is from the place you came from and in this case it is U.S.A. which is a first world country. You cannot seek asylum from U.S.A. that is not how asylum works because I came to Canada 30 years ago on asylum and I applied via Canadian embassy in that country.....it took 4 years. Ten years before I got here asylum seekers when allowed to come were on contract to live and work in Winnipeg for 4 years before they can leave province.

Your story has amazed me, from lots of struggles to success Mashallah ❤. Thank you Canada couple for the podcast ?

Hi Harmeet and Manpreet, its good that you are doing a great job by spreading knowledge about how is life in canada. I do appreciate that but here in this podcast its about 3 main countries- Australia, UAE And Canada. \nRegarding Australia i can't comment much as i personally dont have any experience with that country but yes my cousins are there. Regarding UAE- Whatever ashr and sana said i dont agree at all because we have spend more than 15 years in UAE with very decent job. We were quiet free to do all the activities of bank, driving license and all. That country has its own charm. May be Ashr has worked in very small company where he has to go through those things but things are quiet different there. And yes it is very hot in dubai from may to August just came like punjab and delhi in India but aisa b nhi h ki bande ki jaan hi nikale. So i felt bahut jayada exaggerate kar k btaya ja raha h.\nOnly thing in UAE is that you dont get PR there.\nRegarding canada ?? it is a good country though currently less job opportunities here.

The problem with Canada's economy is simple. The problem even has a name, which is Justin Trudeau. Every moron that voted for him should take a good long look in the mirror and know that THEY are the reason Canada is imploding right now. Seriously... wtf did they think was going to happen when they voted for a person who's cumulative life experience was working as a drama teacher for 2 years before being forced to resign for having sex with a student. We have a complete idiot running the country who has completely sold us out. His net worth has gone from $5 million to $385 million since he became PM.

Canada is letting thousands and thousands with no housing he is a stupid mother he has a sinister plan 2030 great reset

You say school showings aren't that bad. Search school shooting canada total ever, then search America school shootings this year.\nAfter that search mass shootings by country. \nThen you will realize why Canadaians don't want to move to the US.

I would never move to the US for all the reasons mentioned. The US is a great country, but it’s not for me. It’s not Canada. I❤??

School shootings don’t happen only in cities. That’s the scary part. They could happen anywhere in the US. In Canada I have never been worried about my kids safety at school. Our mindset is the total opposite of Americans when it come to guns and “their rights”.

I have commented before I am of Native decent registered with a Haudenosaunee/ Iroquois (Mohawk Nation) here in Canada I have a Cousin on a Haudenosaunee/ Iroquois (Seneca Nation) In New York State She has dual Citizenship I have been helping her and one of her kids to try to get registered in Canada through her grandparents with my Nation.\n\nYou know it bad when even Americans 1st people what to leave their own land and head North

I am just returning from Canada (Toronto). Please if you know your bible prophecy do not go to the Western world for the 666(www) is at hand. The last final seven years of tribulations of Dan. 7 starts September 2023.

Drake, The Weeknd, Pamela Anderson, Justin Bieber, the list goes on, and Canada's Medical System is FREE! Every Citizen is treated the same. The Hospitals are operated like a triage, worst life endangered cases are seen first in the Emergency Room and Meds are dirt cheap.

You may want to remember comments on the internet don't necessarily represent a broad spectrum of the political spectrum. That said my wife who is from the US prefers Canada. Also we have lots of guns in Canada we just don’t tend to use them on each other.

I split my time between Canada and the US. In the 1980s and 90s, there was very little difference. Far right extremism was left in the most fundamentalist churches and if any of it made it to the larger public sphere, it was either laughed at or ignored. All that changed with the rise of the Tea Party movement, social media, and now MAGA. Now, far right extremism and the Christian theonomy movement are mainstream..sucking in about 1/3 of the country down the rabbit hole of rage and just pure craziness that's just taking over more and more.\n\nI'm looking forward to being able to move entirely out of the US before it's too late. Hopefully I can do so before the 2024 election, but it seems unlikely.

59:35 I personally think this is just personal story where a lot of circumstances lead to this situation and things might be like this earlier but now post pandemic and especially in 2023 things are so much better, nothing comparable to canada in terms or ease of PR but if one follows right pathway of what the govt. is looking for PR is super easy. A friend of mine age 20 being a Nurse got PR right after graduating with 0 work experience in ADELAIDE. They don't need accountants why would they give PR to them? I understand nursing is not for everyone but there are more such occupations too.

WOW DOES SHE EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE IS SAYING WHY SHE DOESNT TALK ABT AIR QUALITY NOT HER FAULT. STRANGE CANADA DOESNT SELL FRESH SEE THE VIDEO HOW VEGETABLES ARE CLEANED UP IN DELHI.

Go and live in India where Sikhism was born out of vaishnav religion followers family. They made this Sikhism religion to protect their Santan dharma (Hindu) vaishnav relatives and community family members. Pakistan killed tortured all their people many times and almost finished their population in Pakistan and these so called Khalistanis from Canada Australia and US are taking money from Pakistan to destabilise India . Punjabi sikh community support their mother land India then these few Pakistan fed and western Khalistani traitors destabilising India . \nGuru Govind Singh ji loved India and all Sikhism born out of sanatan dharma ( the ancient civilisation religion was given name by middle east people as Hindu). \nToday fed by Pakistani ISI money these people are trying to kill their family members in santan dharma .

The best thing that could ever happen for Canada is if the USA took them over and joined as 1 large country! GOD Bless

The States is wonderful in many ways, but the your private health care system is dreadful. People die because their HMOs tell Americans what diagnostic tests they can or cannot afford. I read that one in four US families go bankrupt because of huge medical bills NOT covered by their insurance. Also the gun situation would give most Canadians pause. In Canada, only hunters, trappers, remote forest workers and cops carry guns. Last but not least: the right wing MAGA goons terrorizing people for flying Pride flags freak me out. Canada is a free country. We have bigots and thugs here too — but they don’t run the show the way they do in so many places in the States.

The 4 reasons canadians move to the US:\n\n1, retiring to a warmer climate, these are typically people who are snowbirds (they spend the canadian winter in the US where its warmer) up to retirement.\n\n2, admission into a prestigious college/university outside of canada.\n\n3, higher wages in certain professions.\n\n4, love
