It’s funny how young Americans currently wouldn’t allow anything bad to be said about Canada. Young Americans believe Canada is what America should be and that it is a perfect country. I always thought it funny how Canada built all their major cities along the Border, they literally piggyback off America. I’m from AZ, I’ve watched immigrants come up and get jobs and start businesses without even being able to speak English.

People also from other language are watching this. Speaking only in hindi is not that welcoming.... Speak only in English

Sweet, 2 white girls speaking about Canada, spoke about everything but coolly ignored the elephant in the room, “ blatant racism “.

Why would we tolerate the way the government allows these people to speak there own language and walk around like they own the place what would we have to do if we lived in Afghanistan?conform and become one of them that's what, yet they walk around Canada's streets and restaurants rudely speaking their language loudly and making no attempt to conform ,if your in someone else's country you should at least try to be aware of their ways and respect them.if you don't want to conform then stay in ur own country.

I came to Canada with a US college degree and I later earned a Canadian university degree. I speak both languages fluently. Can't find a good job with a worthy salary and perks. Canadian mediocrity and passive aggressive racism got in my way. I can't wait to get citizenship and leave this place. Canada isn't nicer than America. Passive aggressive Canadian racism is just as bad as overt American racism.

Very good video guys but you forgot some things...\n* Some Canadians are very racists.\n* If you go to Quebéc and you do not speak French your life will be miserable. \n* English speakers and French speakers hate each other...\n* If you are professional and go Montreal to have a life and continue with your carrear you have to wait until the last spot of the line because the job is going to be for a French quebecois first, so is better to go and work in whatever you find.\n*Radical feminism it's just unbearable in Canada. \nThat's all.\nKeep the good work!\n✌️?

Do ppl in quebec speak English?

while in California USA require to speak spanish

Canada sounds almost similar to Australia, everything is also getting very expensive here with taxes as high as 45% depending on your income (32% for low income). Fortunately job opportunities are not as bad as long as you are skilled and can speak English fluently, the company doesn’t care if you were native or foreign. This however offset with the high level requirement one must meet in order to gain Permanent Residency. It’s not as easy as in Canada.

Well then he needs to go back to El Salvador, his own country, a lot of them lie , or use false papers , and that's fraud, he can't even speak any english

Asher sahab, I know you from you TV film background and story about your life. app sey guzarish hai key you should avoid talk too long and speak quick and fast and better to make a scripts before and be limited according to the scripts then go for general talk and talk just should not be a talk it should be more visible and active. I am sorry if you feel bad, but this is a practice of most of Pakistani peoples which you should avoid on international viewers. Pl you can response me if you have a question shukeria bhai.

Quebec has the highest income tax rates, the poorest healthcare system, and I know how my wife got into a life threatening situation becaus of the indigence of the system, her colleague lost her father becaus the hospital did forget to call him for hs cancer surgery!!! You cn wait up to 10 years to get a family doctor! Don't let the slaughtered french language and faux france feel fool you. Queec is a dump! And btw, bill 96 plans to reduce english speaking clinics, services to the anglophones, and reduce the possibility for french speaking queneckers to attend englis community colleges. And now they invented the concept of historical english speaker or not! A dump!

I can’t say I agree with Quebec as number one, tax rates are huge when you factor in property taxes, car insurance, plus they have the most expensive gas, outside of NFLD. The people are mostly rude when it comes to those that cannot speak French (yes I’m unilingual English not by choice, my hearing is bad). In support of my opinion, I have travelled (camping) in every province and territory except the Yukon. I have met some amazing people kind, friendly helpful, sadly I cannot apply that to Quebec. I wish this would not be the case as there are many parts of the province I would love to go see.

Canada is not a country of immigrants is is founded by English and French settlers and speak the language when you are here .Do not take away are gun laws .You 2 girls don't know much about this country because you weren't born here and aren't English .It is The Domino of Canada

If you don't speak French you will be shunned....even if you are trying. The Federal Government gives anything and everything to the province of Quebec and that would be the only reason it is #1!

Neah \nNot Quebec \nThey dont speak any English \nOnly a little bit \nMostly speak French

I would put Alberta on top because not very many of us speak French and we pay very little tax

YeaH! I don't speak French

Oooh speaking of beautiful but inhospitable... Chicago, be safe guys. But if you want to head a further south towards Kentucky way we'd be more than happy to host ya. A lot of your countrymen live in around Lexington working in the horse industry. Oh and we have bourbon. Lots of bourbon. You come this way we'll take good care of you fellas

That was hilarious! Thanks, boys. I’m impressed by your research. Only one amusing/ironic note: your accents weren’t strong enough to be mistaken for Newfoundlanders. Due to the isolated nature of the communities, there are a lot of Irish dialects heard there that have remained unchanged since the 1700s. A lot of Newfoundlanders (outside the city of St. John’s), sound like they’re Kerrymen: they speak very quickly and can be hard to understand.

Soooo.....South Africa is the only English speaking country you haven't done an immigration sketch for YET. If Arms can manage our accent, I will know he's invincible.

Quebec has the Rude as people they treat u like shit if u dont speak french.

My grandparents immigrated from Italy and Ireland. They never got nice warm Canada Goose jackets, clothes, Nike shoes designer jeans, free English lessons or welfare. They paid there way, bought their land and found work LEGALLY, paid to learn English.\nThey did not steal unemployed Canadians jobs going through Trudeaus let’s hire out of the country so our government funds part of the wage. What we get are lousy heath care workers who barely understand or speak the English language and are caring for our Elderly and mistreating them. This I saw first had. I took my Mother home out of a senior home and cancelled home care as they never showed up on time. Would they leave there parent in a urine soaked brief for 5 hours as that is how late they were. I had to quit my job to take care of her. I myself am disabled with a spinal injure. The worst part of “Home Care workers” is that they wanted me to call in and cancel so they got paid. This statement gave from the Home Care nurse in charge of these immigrants working here. Seven of my friends, who are educated health care workers, which they themselves paid for, not paid my our government. They can’t get a job. The last job I applied for and they ask you status I put that I am a Canadian refugee in my own country. \nPretty sad when on Remembrance Day you have these woke individuals begging for money to help refugees. They should be ashamed of themselves for this disgusting action as this is a time to remember the men and women who fought for our freedom. Trudeau is a total embarrassment to all Canadians. He brings in more refugees rather than helping Veterans and homeless Canadians.

First I thought why are you guys speaking so fast then I remembered I had set playback speed to x2

As a Muslim myself I can say this with certainty that these individuals have stepped out of the fold of Islam strictly by the way they conduct themselves and this type of mannerism is by no way acceptable in Islam, I feel like I should remind everyone that there's extremist groups in every walk of life, religious or non religious it's just unfortunate that people tend to judge an entire tree by a single rotten fruit. Rest assured groups enforcing this behaviour do not speak for the rest of us neither represent the true identity of the beauty of God's law.(Islamic Monotheism)\nPeace be upon you ?

Someone compliments you on your hair...that's racist! WTF! One speaks his minds when in disagreement...you're a troll...DOUBLE WTF! STOP BEING SO SELF CONSCIOUS...ACCEPT THINGS FOR WHAT THE ARE, and stop interpreting things based on your own insecurities. DONT POISON THE WORLD with your negatively-shaped feelings.

I hate Quebec. I felt very unaccepted by the people who live there. I would go into restaurants and gas stations and when I didn't speak French the workers would speak very aggressive and disrespectful. I try to avoid Quebec whenever possible. Not to mention the drivers are terrible. Overall I would probably move to Alberta, since Ontario house prices are high.

Rating provinces as a whole is really stupid, that’s be like rating the U.S while it contains both Texas and New York. Yes that’s how big Canadian provinces are, the super northern and the super southern, As well as east and west. have a completely different culture, attitude and accent. And sometimes even speak a different language. Yes contrary to what foreigners may think Quebec is not the only province with French speaking populations, as well there are some English speaking populations in Quebec.

Quebec is also the most corrupt with politicians that make the mafia look like Boy Scouts. Also the French spoken there is a patois that is un recognizable to all other French speaking countries on the planet.

After Being an Employer for 25 years. I tried making reference calls to home countries. Most of the time it was time zone opportunities or they didn’t speak English or French. The other side was leaving messages for reference call backs and they wouldn’t call me back. I do appreciate your struggle.

I live in Ontario but really want to move to quebec or Bc(may be the greener grass on the other side) . The problem with Bc is that it's too far away from Europe and Pakistan but it's so beautiful. Quebec I can move but I don't know french. My wife and children can speak though. May I should learn some

Hi, I have a question that I need to make sure. I can apply for ITA before I send my diploma, right? I am going to get my diploma in June, but I want to speed up the process so can I apply for ITA in May? \nAnd also I’m aiming the best score for IELTS. In the CRS Calculation site it says 7.5-9 is the highest for Speaking. Does it matter if I get 8.5 or 7.5 for example? \nThanks in advance.

Very revealing that Quebec is recognized as the best place in Canada to live well by non-Canadians. Too bad you don't speak French, you could enjoy the best quality of life in the country, hurry before we erect a border.

Swap Quebec and BC. Almost no Canadians that don't speak primarily French would ever rate it as the BEST overall province.

I’m living in Dominican Republic I’m Haitían and I fear for my life cause there are videos of Domican who have videos online telling Haitians to leave the country before December 15th which is my birthday if no they will start killing us because of our past history. I am afraid how someone can help me find for this program. Please help I’m a single mom of two kids I speak 4 languages fluently creole French English and Spanish.

Ontario here... goto Quebec and speak english, they are arseholes for the most part... That alone should drop it well behind Manitoba. Does matter how cheap your rent is, or how much money you make if you are a social outcast for speaking the primary and (one of the official languages of Canada).

Quebec is the best province if you speak French otherwise your second class in Quebec ! As well as other provinces and territories you must be bilingual except Quebec which has special status and only promotes the speaking and communications only in French !

Wrong!!! Quebec has the highest rate of fraud next to Africa. Not a great school system. As for speaking C. French... 78% of Quebecers can't speak English... maybe they should learn English. Lung Cancer the greatest in Canada for obvious reasons. They don't want to be a part of Canada. Should we go on?!

Russia speaking ,yep )

Quebec is also the only province to have had an active local terrorist organization. And if you're learning French, or speak proper France French you'll have to contend with people treating you like shit.

That breaks my heart, the accents have such rhythmic sounds when they speak. I like to mimic accents because they are beautiful to me.

In some cases, I was victim of racism here in Canada and this is what I just did: I speak in French instead to the aggressor; I have done that many times and usually it works; if it is like this indirect form of racism (much more frequent) where a “local” or even sometimes some Immigrants try to look down in me, I just called a friend of mine (who is usually free) and start to chat loudly in french with him!! And believe it or not, my French accent is 99% close to perfection although I do not look like a white French guy… but see… this is exactly why it is very amusing as you can barely imagine how most people act by seeing me talking in French!! Just say something like “… je reste pour une année en plus ici au Canada (make sure you say Canada to attract their attention) Et après je bouge sur Paris….”

I’m happy that we are number one ! Québec is like the annoying little brother. We are really different from the rest of Canada (mostly because we speak French). !

I disagree about Quebec being #1 province in Canada. Main reason is the language barrier. If you are just driving through it to get to the east coast,, beware,, when you stop for gas, or anything, Quebec people will try to speak ONLY French and give English speaking people a difficult time

Willing to move there... To restart a chapter in life.. I Speak French, English, Swedish, German and Spanish.... (citizenship from French & Swedish) Master Degrees and MBA... I will try to avoid the immigration agents (former immigrant that will not accept that you succeed)

Speak punjabi.....

As an Canadian I NEEEEEED TO SAY that one of Alberta's biggest problems, and a reason you may not want to live there, was not mentioned in this video. ALBERTA HAS A HUGE PROBLEM with racism, and sexism really. I'm not the one to speak on its nuances, but I can tell you based on my 6 month stay there, its not somewhere I want to live. I'm not even a person of colour, just female and it was horrid. I can't imagine being indigenous and female. I'm sorry for the people and especially women who would like to live in a different environment and can't seem to get out. Hope you find your rainbow.

No reasonably intelligent , thinking Canadian, says that healthcare is “free”. So stop misleading people. The actual truth is that healthcare in Canada is covered by the taxation system and is “ universal” meaning every citizen is covered for most services and for necessary treatments and surgeries. Elective procedure such as having a boob job , for the most part are not covered, nor should they be. Furthermore, most thinking people acknowledge that the system is not perfect, and is often strained by those irresponsible people who abuse it. Higher taxes are the price we pay to feel confident that in the event of necessary hospitalization or treatment, we need not fear financial ruin and or bankruptcy as is quite common in the US for example. Nothing is free unless you believe in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus. Think before you speak.

I don’t agree with Quebec as a whole being up so high on the list. They have their own tax and medical system , much higher cost. You must have your children in a unilingual French School unless you have substantial proof that they have a solid English background. English speakers for the most part are ostracized in most of Quebec except some areas of Montreal. All government work places speak only French and there are no English rights in Quebec unless you work for the government of Canada and then good luck getting a job in Quebec as they are designated a unilingual French language speaking province for Canadian government jobs and you won’t qualify unless you speak and read and write French. All signage is restricted to French and the province doesn’t follow any international standards. Even the air traffic controllers only speak French which is why most major airlines don’t fly into Quebec as the standard of language for them is English world wide except Quebec. They have different road rules, tax legislation and pension than the rest of Canada. Wouldn’t want to live there myself. I have a sister in Montreal. Don’t know why she stays.
