Go do it legally! This is so unfair to people who have come to Canada legally! I condone this!

Section 47(2) of the Criminal Code of Canada outlines the offence of treason. Treason is considered the most grave and serious offence against the state. The offence of treason is committed when an individual engages in certain prohibited acts against the state, such as waging war against Canada or attempting to undermine the authority of the Canadian government. The section provides different levels of punishment for varying degrees of the offence. A person who commits the offence of treason under paragraphs 46(2)(a), (c), or (d) is liable to be sentenced to imprisonment for life. These paragraphs outline acts such as plotting to overthrow the government, assisting an enemy, or preparing to invade Canada. If a person commits the offence of treason under paragraphs 46(2)(b) or (e) while a state of war exists between Canada and another country, they are also liable to be sentenced to imprisonment for life.

Its not easy to settled down in good countries like USA or Australia and canada is new dubai?

All of the good things said about Canada towards the end of the video was the Canada of 25 years ago. The Canada of today is an absolute dumpster fire.

A republican state is looking good right now, time to leave communist fraudulent crown slave Canada

Kinda sad that were almost a house owner in canada we look at a perfect house for us for only 200k in 2021 but when covid was finished that exact house was 450k in 2022

I think that Trudeau has doubled home prices to benefit himself and his rich friends… Canada is doomed..

I'm a US citizen who lived in Australia for 2 years. The process there is very similar to Canada's but with a slightly stronger tilt towards specific skills. The recession hit in 2014 and, without a sponsor, they weren't renewing most visas so we had to GTFO. I'm still sad about it. Obviously my life in the States is nothing to cry about but our life in Oz was amazing..

Can one still apply when you are in another province in canada?

If you're not a supporter of terrorist then you don't needs to fear anything in india, Canada don't realize it yet your country is became a terrorist safe heaven and hurting other countries just like under taliban govt terrorist are free to do anything it is the same with Canada the difference is taliban attack western countries canada attacking India

Canada is India 2.0 embarrassing.

I didn’t know there where so many “native Americans” in the reservations in Canada.

Healthcare workers in Canada are over worked and underpaid especially since the cost of living is so high and increasing and because I work in healthcare nearing retirement and haven’t had a raise in over five years !

Share this documentary with anyone you know planning to study in Canada.

Why go to Canada in a first place,

In canada I get 5 weeks vacations. A year maternity leave. Lots of sick days. Giving birth is FREE ( heard from an American woman she was in debt 30K for a complicated twin birth ????????). Ambulance once cost me 40$. \nI even stopped going to Florida for March break. Those red hats… QAnon…the guns….this hatred….\n400 mass shooting so far for 2023 ?. Nothing patriotic about my choice as I am a French national. \nAs a woman that would mean accepting that old male policies can decide on my body

It’s what the fascist Republicans voted for. Thanks to the Republicans’ anti-immigrant paranoia, the USA is just a giant turd circling down the toilet bowl of deliberate Republican dismantling of the Federal government. Better off in Canada where at least there is guaranteed affordable healthcare.

It’s hilarious to watch refugees come here and talk about how they expect to be given free handouts. Then you have the NDP waiting with open arms ready to sign away federal taxpayer money to support them. Only in Canada.

Are you AI? I find it hard to believe that someone could keep up this level of annoying conversation. This is the first time I'm seeing you. Also the last. Sorry, you're just not my cup of tea. \nBTW, there is nothing in this world that could convince me to move to the U.S. NOTHING...I don't even visit there anymore. Don't hate you guys, don't even dislike you, but I love my home. I'll stay right here in Canada.

Who gets stopped at Canadas immigration?

The only thing that keeps me from moving to Canada is the winter but I really want to come

Ab kahan jaayenge bhai lekin ?. If you don't like canada then don't come to canada. Kheton mein hal joto and don't cometo canada please. Even canadian government should stop legal and illegal migration and should start kicking out immigrants.

Summary of the story is that if you have your own house, car and good monthly income (50k onwards), India is better than Canada.

Canadian here. It's unfair that you compare Shopify to Google with Google being one of the largest companies in the world. Also the housing market crisis in Canada is because we have an unsustainable housing bubble that should have poped over a decade ago but didn't and a large chunk of the economy is tied to housing. I was almost kicked out of my socialized house because they want to go from renting to selling it at market value

There's a reason why Canada only has about 12% of the US population. It's just not as desirable to live in.

As an immigrant to the US, you summed up the issue very nicely. Another thing I noticed is that people who cannot get an h1b visa sometimes would go to Canada, get a Canadian passport to secure an insurance, and then come look for a job on TN visa or EB1 visa in the US. As an immigrant who comes to the US on a EB3 visa, I really hope that the US can prioritize employment based visas instead of family based or even illegals immigrants for the future of the country. One thing that makes a lotta EB immigrants scratch our heads is that why would the US government put all their efforts in taking in illegal immigrants and grant them a safe path to citizenship instead of taking care of the ones coming in legally first. Not to say the other group isn’t important, but it’s a weird way to prioritize things.

Problem with Canada is it doesn’t have the sufficient infrastructure (e.g., housing) for immigrants, and even Canadians, to live a dignified life.

I think you missed the ball on two points.\n\n1) although Canada has a higher share of current immigrants, 99% of all americans are descended from at least one great grandparent who came from abroad before settling down. America is a nation of immigrants down into its blood, and the current state of affairs is more a reflection of abberation than the norm, even in spite of our history of the Klan and know nothing party.\n\n2) Québec sets its own immigration policy and it is WAAAAAAY stricter, like, they have a french literacy test that a parisian with a PhD in French literature failed, and when this is brought up most Quebecois say this makes sense because *the French* are doing a poor job of preserving frenchness against encroachment from foreign language and culture. Meanwhile L'Acedemie Français is the chief dead horse to beat amongst folks who want to make jokes of linguistic and cultural prescriltivism.

I can 100% relate to Sanjay’s situation. Most of my friends are in the same boat as mine. The lottery system is the most absurd I have ever seen. Literally, careers are decided by fate and not by merit. Canadian system is merit based. Just imagine how tough it would be for companies attempting to sponsor Visas. \n\nIf there are comparable salaries and job openings in Canada. I’m sure a large chunk of the skilled workforce is willing to move to Canada simply because of mental stress and uncertainty in the US.

America should have more transparent and open immigration policies. But Canada does have a compelling incentive to be somewhat more restrictive. It’s sky high house prices. \n\nThey could perhaps address that with multi family housing units and better mass transit systems. But even then the finite amount of real estate is big concern.

Regarding housing... this video misses another fact, Canada now has one of the largest concentrations of high net worth individuals in the world. Canada is an incredibly wealthy country, and indeed, attracts many wealthy immegrants too.

11:44 That’s just not a fair comparison. Google and Shopify pay differently even for the same city. True that Canada salaries are lower, but it could’ve compared for the same company. Take ServiceNow, for example. For IC3, average salary in USA is about $210K, whereas in Canada, it’s $110K. Not to mention, the taxes in Canada are higher and the cost of living around 60-80% of USA depending on the location. Hence, the favorable outlook towards USA despite the immigration struggles.

Both Canada and the US could alleviate so much of their socio-economic problems if they abolished restrictive zoning laws.

It's 100000000000× times easier to make real good money in advance economies like Canada or USA than it is in (third world) developing or undeveloped economies...and problems like inflation, shrinkflation, rising housing price etc. are a thousand times worse in third world countries..\nSo anyone from advance economies or developed countries who would blame immigrants for their money problems is just a lazy, pampered, privileged a**hole who lacks the understanding of the real world and a c*nt..full stop..

I'm seeing a lot more anti-immigration sentiment in Canada these days. Is there an updated 2023 poll?

What the fuck? I didn’t know Canada was falling this quick. Toronto is just like London a city taken over by invaders.

most H1Bs go to indians. do some research. also smart engineers will probably move to US from canada for pay and opportunity later on in life.

Couldn't the argument be made that the huge per capita influx of immigrants is precisely why Canada's wages are so much lower than in US? It seems like a top priority of the US immigration system is to keep wages high for Americans. An ideal system probably lies somewhere in-between.

Yes, Canada is filling the gap in the market.... with low wages and exploitation. The funny part is, Canada is the stepping stone to the US, got plenty of immigrants of Canada now as US citizens.

I usually really like PolyMatter but this video is clearly biased and missing important details. \n\nWhat this video does not talk about is that we already have millions of H1B in this country competing for jobs with American citizens; go into any IT department of most banks, and you will find mostly H1B workers. Walking into any major university career fair, you will see the predatorial scene of hordes of foreign master students competing against American bachelors for the same new grad jobs; with many of the foreign students already having real career experience in their own country competing against inexperienced American young adults. \n\nThis video also does not mention the H1B lottery is not a single-try event. Everyone is given 3 tries and it refreshes if you get another American degree. \n\nLastly, this video does not mention the fact that people not on American soil could also apply for the H1B lottery which contributes further to the low rate. \n\nComparing pays between companies was ridiculous in this video's context. Google L3 in America should be compared with Google L3 in Canada, which are not very different in pay, after adjusting for the cost of living.\n\nIn terms of the country cap, just because some countries happen to have more people than other countries, it's not America's problem to solve; America has to do what is in the best interest of America. In this case, America simply decided to prioritize diversity in yearly admittees.

What you did in Pakistan...Australia...Canada...who cares? Who are you?

Fr jo kids i mean bache honge, wo suffer ni krege, kbi india kbi canada, or wo jaynge india apni home country shd k? agr aa gye o, to jana to mushkil, yhi rehna paina??????

You didn't want to even read about the concern of the comment about the lack of abortion rights in the US. But it's real and so scary to see from Canada. I wouldn't want to live in a place where I would not be safe as someone who has a uterus.

There is Canada's next prime minister right there.

Why you are in Canada go to India

Got our canadian PR 13 years ago followed by the citizenship. Now got my Australian PR and feeling so excited to leave Canada as I don’t see a promising future for my kids in Canada because of various reasons.\n\nPlease respect, this is my opinion and choice, not here for justification or argument. Thanks

Canada is a nightmare under the Trudeau Liberals. Get them OUT!!

A very persistent and hard-working Pakistani couple. A win for Canada.

In Canada we have never ever had active shooter drills!!!

Nope I will be staying in Canada I wouldn't think about moving to the USA for a 10th of a second
