Fun fact: canada money is water proof

The problem with medical care is the most serious of all. I would advise migrants against settling in Canada. I also heard it's too cold.

I'm tired of people bad mouthing canada. just because you don't like the amount of lakes and rivers a lot of people do. and when people (especially americans) bad mouth other countries just take a look at your country and shit we have our cons but yours might have more because I know the u.s has a lot more bad shit then canada does just take a look at america

12:38 cant articulate their background, not proficient in english, I don’t this is a valid point?. Most, if not all, immigrants have gone through rigorous English proficiency tests from reading, writing, speaking. Likewise most of the immigrants have high educational backgrounds, so they’re definitely proficient in English. They may not have the native speaker accent (just like yourselves) but I highly doubt they could be regarded as not being proficient in the English language. What’s the big deal about the English language by the way? among all of the languages, it’s the easiest to master. So I highly doubt that’s one of the real reasons. It’s more on the stupid “not having Canadian experience” thing. Which is really doesn’t make much sense. How would you expect most immigrants to have Canadian work experience? This backwards thinking is among the reason why Canada is lagging compared to other global countries. Only Canada has this rule. That way, it’s limiting its chances of getting the best talents from every part of the world. Because of this rule, highly skilled immigrants are forced to work jobs that doesn’t require technical skills just to pay the bills, until they got fed up for not being able to get jobs according to their high skills and eventually leave Canada for the US.

I am from India and was thinking about moving to Canada and maybe settle in the near future. I am now havibg second thoughts. Thanks for posting this video.

Really unfortunate that Canada is like this. From the CanCon laws to this, it is a miracle that CBC has managed to survive!

Seems like every quebecois in the comments says they love their province and see the rest of Canada as family, and all the other Canadians are saying mean things about them. As a quebecoise, I'm happy to live here!

I am Asian, but will always stand for Canada

Sir I want to come here in Canada with family please help me how many money required in my family 3 sons and hubby and me

Leaving Canada as we speak it’s a garbage country !!!

Thanks for this video! \nI think that one of the biggest problems is extremely high expectations before making that change. Pun intended ;) \nI've lived in three different countries and soon moving to the fourth ie. Canada. Living in different places gives a broader view on society and helps understanding that nowhere is perfect. I think that immigrants' frustration primarly comes from the fact that we do not make enough research on what to expect when moving. You should write down pros and cons on moving, make sure you understand what are the most important things for you and check if that new country provides that. Watching videos like yours is a great way to start. It really comes down to what you want from life and if you are willing to adapt to achieve it. \nOn the other hand, Canadians' frustration might come from the fact that they never lived anywhere else :)\nAs for my top three things that disapoint me the most: Healthcare, Housing, Technology.

The Montreal newspaper of December 2, 2022 Quebec - Canada \n \nInfo-Sante: Quebec calls on retired nurses to the rescue \nNo short-term improvement in emergencies, admits Dubé \n \nThe Quebec Health Minister Dube on the defensive \nThe current crisis in Quebec hospitals was at the heart of the very first parliamentary contest in the National Assembly since the elections. The Minister of Health has been the subject of crossfire from the opposition parties, which are demanding tangible results in the health plan of the CAQ. \n“There are 30% of parents who hang up on pediatric 811 because they have no service. There are 16% of people who leave the emergency room because they have no service!”, railed Liberal MP André Fortin. According to him, these figures show that the minister has simply failed. \nNot to mention the list of patients who have been waiting for surgery for a year and more, which has not diminished, despite Christian Dubé's promises. The latter has undertaken to reduce this threshold by the spring to the pre-pandemic level, that is to say to 2,500 operations. Currently, there are more than 21,000 patients on this list. \n“He reduced the list of patients waiting for surgery in Quebec by exactly 0%, zero. In fact, the list, it has increased. So, until now, his target, his commitment, his promise on the surgery waiting list has been a failure,” added the elected official from Pontiac. \nMinister Dubé claims to have recently met with medical specialists, who have undertaken to “update” the plan in the coming weeks to reduce surgeries. \nWith the variants of COVID-19 and the many viruses in circulation, the summer period was not conducive to catching up on operations. “We have to strike a balance between the hospital beds that we use either for emergencies or for surgeries. And when we have problems like we have, at the moment, with emergencies, it is sure that the surgeons suffer from it”, he insisted. \nSurgeries in numbers \nTotal number of patients awaiting surgery: 160,869 \nPatients waiting for a year or more: 21,066 \n*Source: Ministry of Health dashboard dated November 5, 2022

Quebec has the highest income tax in Canada is almost double British Columbia and Alberta\nAccording to an article in the Journal of Quebec, it wastes about $1000000 per year by having its own provincial tax return, unlike all the other provinces that use the Canadian federal system.\nIt gives unnecessary employment to about 7,000 people who could be doing more useful things for the Province

1 - It was other people’s income taxes that paid for & made the Canada you met, liked & had an opportunity to thrive in. If you’re questioning why you have to pay higher taxes when you earn more, think about refunding the benefits you had when you weren’t earning as much\n\n2 - 8 hours in an ER is not an emergency, if there’s a life threatening incident, you get the medical care you need\n\n3 - Quality living costs money everywhere in the world, you get what you’re willing to pay for. There are $35 phone plans & you can use public transportation & skip car insurance and maintenance. US inflation is worse off than Canada\n\n4 - There are so many things to do in Canada, it’s just not in your forte. Outdoor activities in both winter & summer\n\n5 - Cry me a river!\n\n6 - SMH\n\n7 - Leaving Canada to go back to where you’re unsafe, unsteady power supply & almost non-existent healthcare?\n\n8 - It’s a huge trade-off, I left Canada 9 months ago to the West Coast of the US & couldn’t stop talking about escaping sub zero temperatures BUT putting everything on the table, Canada works out best for & I’m looking forward to moving back. \n\n9 - Which countries does Canadian passport allow you to live & work in?\n\n10 - This I agree, it’s a high regulated society & it could be a turn off.\n\n11 - False! In a country where 37.5 hours is considered fulltime? How many federal holidays does Canada have? If you’re working 10 jobs to stay afloat, that’s absolutely on you, it’s not a “Canadian issue”.

Canada is not a country, it is a corporation!

Good services sir! but the main issue is how a job person show that much statement to apply for any country. Much appreciate if you do let me know how much exactly amount should be in the account statement past more than six months for Canada, New Zealand or UK.. Also if possible share your services charges...

I submit that Quebec is by far the worst province due to their command and control, dictatorial, actions towards the other provinces and extreme political stances. Quebec essentially runs all of Canada and the other provinces don’t have much input over they’re own laws and lives.

How to apply for canada family viza??

By the way the winter in Edmonton is horrendous so it is one thing to think about. I live in Canada for over 30 years most in BC then I moved to Nova Scotia but I could never live in Alberta. Good luck.

As a soon to be consultant, I recognize and appreciate this video! I would recommend looking to professional regulatory bodies for support getting licensed in Canada prior to applying.

Since my childhood to being as grown up man in the mid life, Canada is still under the shadow of USA.\n\nTwo things:\nCanada still empty after decades of issuing immigration visas.\nThis video is also a reflection to prove Canada is better than US, but people don't buy this from many years.\n\nI don't agree on education cost, in US there 100s of options to get enrolled in economical schools and to have on campus jobs, which is the way of paying tuition fees. \nA point on weather and living conditions in winter should have been discussed, this is the reason people leave Canada for dealing such a cold.\n\nNice video.

The growth of right wing all over the world is going to be disastrous for immigrants. I'm praying that a strong leader like modi or trump comes to power in Canada, Australia and UK to cancel all visa given to such immigrants and kick them back to India. It's gonna happen very very soon. Jai hind ❤️

Canada is expensive with high tax, shit wages and shit weather.

I am sure nobody begged them to move to Canada. Don't let the screen door hit you on the way out.

Bhai konse office se aaye ho Canada

This is complete bullshit Canada is loosing its values as a country no balance in race just favortizing indians

I have no doubt that Alpha College is run by Indians. My assumption is that Indians exploit Indians. This issue must be considered by the Canadian government because in Canada, corruption is very minimum. We should know that many innocent people become victims of corruption.

I am much interested to come to Canada through your company, and I would like to have your address

I believe that Canada is a rich country, its citizens are friendly, peace-loving and social. for me, canada is a heaven that God created on this earth for everyone who wants to progress and prosper. I love canada and God bless canada. Thanks

Sad but not surprised. Canada has long time ago ditched God from its public sphere. Money and power are the newest gods, and these gods require the sacrifices of human destinies.

This is not only in Canada, the UK also has the same story but no one takes any video.

If true, this story is heartbreaking for these vulnerable students. And there is trudeau yapping we need more international students, without providing any oversight to protect them from fraud, and deceipt. How be you help the ones already here trudeau? Shame on Canada for their lack of humanitarian empathy.

I was born here in Canada and in the last 5 years almost every new person I met was new to Canada. Every time I ask them why they came and it's the same answer every time. They got sold a dream of beautiful life in a clean country, but they don't realize it's all a dream and not realistic.

Quebec has a lot of positives, but many negatives, especially for new comers to Canada who may not speak French ?

?☘️???????Asher Azeem: People are reporting you to all over the world for inciting for killing 1000s of people in Pakistan: e.g. @JustinTrudeau This is Aashir Azeem, living in Canada and inciting the Pakistan Military on violence against it's own citizens.

All people around smiling \nThere is a quite high education level I Canada ??

and they might come to canada and do nothing a be on welfare too

Good god. Canada is doomed

Canada doesn't need more immigration. The strain on the environment is already too much. Plus, we keep bringing in the wrong people. We need fewer Indians, Middle Easterners, and a lot fewer British. None of these groups assimilate into the Canadian way of life. We need more people from secular nations. Religions are a pollution.

Canada is a ponzi scheme.

They want to destroy canadas anglo saxon roots and culture

Why not 50 trillion? Bye bye Canada

Disgusting populists can get bent. We need to support CANADIANS not the vulnerable of the rest of the world. We have our own vulnerable. We need to take care of them first. What you are doing is sick. You are replacing a generation of babies that weren't born due to financial genocide with foreigners that are not wanted here. Our economy doesn't need more cheap labour, it needs more well paid labour. We need the price of housing to come down and that means lower population density. If businesses can't find enough employees then boohoo, PAY MORE. Replace the minimum wage with a living wage if you want to grow our economy and population, rather than the pocketbooks of the rich while they scab off the new cheap labour and continue paying meager wages that are getting our economy nowhere but benefit them greatly. This is cultural genocide and you need to stop, NOW! You don't see us burdening India with an additional 500,000 political refugees per year, now do you? They wouldn't allow it. We shouldn't either. I am angry about it and I hate my government for being such horrible sell-outs while throwing Canadians under the bus for a business bribe. I'm never paying taxes again. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! What a s^%t hole fascist country we have become. it appears I was never appreciated and my hard work here was for some foreigner to get ahead, not me. Gotta keep those wages low and the price of housing up though, hey!? You awful idiots! I stand on guard for thee Canada and I will not allow her to be ruined for the greed of a bunch of scallywags who are selling her off to the lowest bidder for profit while they hurt everyone who lives here and wanted to see this country become great.

How prepared is Canada to service this amount of people adding to a population that is already under serviced in every area of life, there's healthcare, housing etc. Our healthcare system is in the brink of collapse just trying to service the current population we have, then there's not enough better jobs to survive, even for Canadians on home soil and more people are now depending on welfare, food is dwindling, there's more homeless people than ever, the number of addicts are growing, crime is rising, I could go on and on with the innumerable problems that is not being addressed on Canada's home turf, yet the government's focus is to bring in more immigrants to Canada to feed, house and care for healthwise? Just asking.

Liberals will bring as many people as they can into Canada in order to get ELECTION VOTES from the unaware!

Canada can't even take in 50,000 immigrants safely let alone 500,000.

Immigration: #1 cause of Climate change and CO2 emissions in Canada. More immigration higher carbon taxes. Immigration: #1 cause of crime, gangs and guns in Canada. Look at RCMP 25 most wanted, 20 are immigrants. Shootings in Toronto, immigrants. Immigration: #1 cause of inflation, housing crisis, health care chaos- more immigrants, inflation rises, you will never buy a house, you will wait longer for health care. Immigration: costs $50 billion/yr to finance them, over the past 50 yrs immigration has added $600 billion to our taxes and debt. Immigration is the number cause of most of Canada's problems. I've never heard a Politician list off any benefits to Canadians of immigration. In fact the internet is void of any sats or data- I wonder why!

The US is better than Canada if you value money. Canada is better than the US if you value peace of mind.\nYMMV.

Not to be disrespectful!\nI am African decent, have lived in 5 countries, some in Europe & North America. You do not set up a business if you are not ready in mind. I lived in Canada, I found a different passion...so left. I own properties both places! Not everyone will be successful in business! One of the wealthiest countries in the world, I spent 14 hours in Emergency not having treatment for my wife. yet it's the within top 5 wealthy country's in the world! \nA little bit of advice if you want to enter into a business proforma showcasing! \nBring up Excel spreadsheets to make further economy tax brackets, earnings etc. I guess you are pretty young!\n I am old, so I have more experience!\n You don't make business profits in a day or months. It takes years to build a business to become successful anywhere you find yourself!\nWhen your house or property value is half a million euros! \nGDP growth range in Canada from 2017 to 2020 was from 3%, 2.78%, 1.88%, -5.2% now in 2021 growth range was positive to 4.6%. \nIf you want to set up a business you look at these growth factors!\nYou will not make billions nor break even..\nYou need a one off experimental breakthrough and many more ideas with fantastic concepts!\nGood luck ?

I was planning for Canada, this is so heartbreaking, makes me want to change my mind
