Canada took the cream of the crop of immigrants while the US took the dreg of the barrel, Canada took the STEM people and elites while the US took MS13 and the laborers.

Kul mila k canada ana hi nhi chahe

Former H1-B here now living in Canada as a citizen. After Obama failed to fix the U.S. immigration system, I lost hope it would ever get fixed.

I have travelled to the States for work and occasional vacations but there is no possible chance that I would leave Canada to take up residence there. My vacations are now taken in Canada only. One of the most beautiful countries one will ever see.

I vote we annex Canada and then take their immigration system for ourselves

I am a Canadian immigrant myself.. was forced to voluntarily leave the country after 20+ years of living and working there.. it's a well known fact that Canada is taking in almost an un capped number people that can't make it to the US or other countries.. the numbers are high and nowhere near sustainable for the economy to support so many. It's common for us H1B workers to migrate to Canada permanently and their employers normally move their US Jobs to Canada as well, with a lower pay and pushing healthcare and retirement costs over to the Canadian system while doing so.. just make a trip to Canada to see for yourself what this has done to Canada.. unaffordable housing, salaries that don't cover the cost of living, a healthcare, retirement and education system that is on the brink of collapse, widespread homelessness and fentanyl abuse, just a destruction of society and the nation overall.

Sloppy video. US and Canada both use Dollars as currency, and you never once specify if you are showing figures in US or Canadian dollars. Then you read off a whole bunch of income estimates, don't specify which currency, and show entirely different numbers on the screen from what you're saying (again with no indication of whether it's US or Canadian Dollars).\nGet it together man.

I had no idea Canada was in this situation. It seems that, within our lifetimes, it will cease being a nation and will instead become an economic zone for people to move to.

As an international student to the US, it's all so extremely stressful as mentioned by this video. First, after you graduate you have 90 days to find a job before being deported. Then, when you do find a job, you can only work for a year unless you're stem, then you can work for another company for another 2 years. Then there's the H1-B. Suffice to say, the lottery system is completely random. It doesn't matter how smart you are or how talented you are, H1-B is a lottery and you could get screwed over at any moment.\n\nIf you so much as dare to be unemployed (like in the recent tech firings), you have 90 days to find a new job before you're deported. Also h1-B only lasts for 6 years. Also moving companies on H1-B is a really hard ask. \n\nIt's all too cruel. Even I am considering moving to Canada myself.

This feels disingenuous ,other countries don't face the same flood of people seeking immigration . You illuminate some of the hurdles but offer no solutions , just a seeming pro_Canada stance .

Watching this while my passport is being stamped with my permanent residency visa at the Canadian embassy. 100% agree, Canada is definitely poised to win the war for talent while the U.S rests on its laurels. It's only a matter of time before those millions of highly skilled workers joining Canada's workforce makes it more globally competitive than the U.S...

Indians prefer USA above canada due to its harsh climate andthere is no problem with pay in canada for indians because education is also cheap in canada so no student loan debt on foreign students

The US might offer more money for the same job but you left the higher costs out. Canada is safer, you have better chances of not getting shot in the street or at a routine traffic stop, you can raise children that have a higher rate of surviving to finish highschool, finish college with less debt and less pounds and you can retire with decent healthcare. All these are advantages that eat up at the US pay bonus and some can't be bought at all.

Certainly very motivating and I was surprised to see this channel. I searched Canada couple to see your baby video and this showed up. Goodluck and great job ?

I have friends Sanjay and Rohan. Both immigrated to Canada

Canada's immigrants arrived legally. Without sizeable immigration Canada can't fund it's social healthcare system. Right now the U.S. has no way of knowing how many people simply crossed our very open Southern border.

As a H1B holder, this hits home. This is my personal dilemma too. Stay in the US or go to Canada..?

And WHY is the pay laughable in Canada for programming? BECAUSE they allow so many immigrants in that will work for less, where as it's more protected in the USA by the difficult immigration system... Is America's system perfect? Far from... But there ARE reasons behind the madness...

In terms of average life expectancy, Canada ranks 6th in the world. The USA? 48th. [SOURCE: CIA World Factbook 2023] Why? Canada has universal health care, gun control, and a social ethos that works. The US has for-profit health care, ineffective gun control, and Trump. In Canada, cancer is treated as a disease. In the US? as a profit centre. Even so, most Canadians love most Americans as cousins and friends, and always will.

Pierre Priority List:\n1. Introduce G3, G4 license for the drivers from Brampton\n2. Introduce policies to make Brampton diverse.\n3. Limit the number of illiterate Baljeets coming into Canada and ruining every locality.\n4. Get rid of reverse racism.\n5. Bring common-sense in the family-courts during a divorce hearing.

Really no difference between both countries We kill in different ways. America with guns and drugs. Canada with drugs and MAID. For those that don't know the what MAID is. Medical Assist In Dying. Government sponsored. Not too distant future, Canada will overtake the U.S. in yearly non accidental deaths . \n Funny, Canada has been portrayed as a friendly Peace Keeper. Now we will be known as People who die quietly, without a fight. Ten Thousand last year alone. At least we lead the world in something

Yep, after 10 years of living in Canada I’m moving back home because of these exact reasons. It’s outrageous the cost of living here. You just live to work with no hope of owning a home. Absolute joke.

Americans and Canadians are so much alike and yet so different.\n... The good American influence flows over the border in great amounts.\nA Canadian in America can fit in real good hardly noticeable.\nAn American in Canada sticks out like a sore thumb! \nYa, I would move to America.

Now that Canada has gone woke Manitoba should be renamed Personitoba

Come move to Canada ?? \nThe North can be warm...sometimes ...about 2 - 6 months a year depending.

Me and my four kids and wife homeless jobless, best time to leave. Canada is for the rich.

Bit biased, at the same time a lot of people leaving Canada a lot going to Australia. Just because one couple had a bad time in Australia doesn't mean it's a worse place than Canada.

I will come to canada to work for a period of maybe 4 years then return home . All i need is to save and invest home. I love my Kenyan weather .

I visited the US often. People and places are wonderful. But the culture of fear and despair that permeates everything is exhausting. By day 4, I'm ready to return to Canada.

from canada to nigeria ?????????

Born and lived in Canada all my life. I would never move to the US, ever.

I lived in uk i have uk pr american green card lived in canada have pr of canada too. Now in Australia & Australia is best quality of life ??

Tyler you should move to canada and document your experience as you go

Not a chance. Abortion is universal health care in Canada and a woman's choice not decided by some 50+ year old male. The US has no universal medical care, gerrymandering, crazy firearm legislation, different culture, rampant racism, anti-gay, Fox isn't journalism and we have laws about that, sorry folks. The US seems culturally backward.

I'am interested bro\nHow to come Canada

I am an american living in Canada. I used to live and work in Nigeria. I would return to Nigeria before I returned to the USA. Y'all shit the bed.

Hi.. I follow u both. Whatsoever struggle ashar told and is now the new reality of Canada only thing the quota is high - but trust me Canada has made system which is equal to Australia a little better though. See through all the immigration changes -- i understand this episode was shot over 3 months back and is not correct for today

Hi brother I hear all you said please can you help me to get to Canada, I am from Liberia.

I'm an American who moved to Canada in 2009 and I'm quite happy never living in The US.\n\n\nWhile Canada is not immune from many of the social ills of The US, they are nowhere near as prevalent.\n\nGun crime is far less of a problem here. Racism exists but it is not as virulent here and the government, while not specifically trying to help me (I am black) it is not trying to hurt me or dehumanize me.\n\nLife is just...generally...more civil here and community minded.\n\nI'm not saying that I hate The US, just that I. Much happier and feel safer here.\n\nAt my age (62), that is important to me.

I had a heart problem a couple years ago \n2 ambulance rides a week in intensive care 5 weeks in hospital total drugs for the whole time and I have no idea of how many different tests\nNo charge.\nI'll stay in Canada

Canada is becoming more and more like America. I would never live in the States and wouldn’t mind peacing out from Canada and immigrate overseas. American views on civic responsibilities, guns, christianity, healthcare, manners, ethnicities, education are uniquely American… really toxic, bigoted and narcissistic

She is right now very colorful clothes too much grey, black depressive shades, even I'm living in Canada for 40 plus years

The school shooting thing is HUGE. From 2009 to 2018 the US had 288 school shootings. In the same time Canada has had only 2! Like you said any number of shootings in schools is unacceptable, but that number is just insane to us. That’s an average of 32 shootings PER YEAR and not even counting the number of deaths.

If I were to leave Canada, and I'm not, my first choice is not the US, it's New Zealand and then several European countries before considering the US.

Tyler, I can see you are sadden by these reactions and I feel for you. Honestly, I love the USA and I would actually live there in a heartbeat for all the positive reasons I know and love about the US. However, as Mom and a soon to be school age child, I would hesitate because of that. Canada has its own issues and don’t let everyone fool you. It’s not some social utopia. We have problems too just different. It’s like you said you need to pick a good, safe safe to live in. The same advise applies to Canada. Also, Reddit is full of your not so typical Canadians so take with a grain of salt ?

Canada is a part of the Commonwealth! The US is not! Study the the Commonwealth! You might just get us Better! Your constitution says you have the right to bear arms! Our guns are controlled!! ???❤️????

I use to live and work in the USA , and I really enjoyed my time there . I'm First Nations Indigenous , the biggest thing that I noticed for me being Native , I felt more love and less prejudiced in the USA , many Canadians , I said this to be very surprising , mind you, I'm talking from a Native perspective and I have many Black Americans that live in Canada felt the complete opposite to my feelings. I also liked the better pay because of less taxes too but my diabetes and chronic pain and the cost of living with diabetes ultimately made me decide to move back to Canada , and being Native , the health care and all associated costs with chronic pain and life long diabetes care is totally free for me , being a First Nations Native Canadian ❤

Canadian's reaction to US right-wing politicians and Christian nationalists is not out of step with many Americans. However, it is an overwhelming majority here in Canada. For example a poll of Canadians in February 2022 found that 68% believed democracy would not survive another 4 year term of Donald Trump as President, and 47% were concerned about the US potentially becoming an authoritarian state.\nThat being said, President Biden had a warm welcome in Canada's Parliament, and is generally well regarded here.

I'd never leave Canada! If I had to move my choices would be either Italy, Portugal, Spain, Netherlands or New Zealand where my cousin lives but no way the US. Sorry. ?

I have plenty of friends & family in the US but would not live there. I can’t think of anything the US have that I can’t get in Canada...so nothing to gain but too much to lose.
