Go back to EL SALVADOR ?? . You are doing it ILLEGALLY. You can’t blame anyone but yourself. Wake up call. Everyone thinks U.S is hard on immigration but try to go to any European country and you will soon find out U.S is very soft on immigration.\n\nYou can’t blame anyone else.

Let me tell you something from my own experience, and at 82 y.o. a have plenty of it. If someone chooses a country into which to emigrate, he or she makes a choice to accept the conditions and adjusts to them. Canada is not a place to baby disgruntled outsiders, but gives them a chance to become Canadian. If you expect anything different, you don't deserve that chance. \nI was born in Vienna, Austria, emigrated with my girl friend to New Zealand, got married there and created two new little Kiwis, and after 5 years we packed up our family and relocated to California, where we brought up our son and daughter as Americans. We'll never forget our Austrian heritage, and are forever thankful to the friendly Kiwis for the start in life they gave us. But, once we decided to move to the US, we accepted the life style of our new neighbors and tried to fit into their society as well as we could. When we reached retirement age, we bought a modest home in Oregon, where we still live now and proudly fly the US flag on appropriate occasions. For the privilege of choosing your country, you better show your gratitude and your worth.

It takes me 3 months to get a doctor appointment in the US here in Seattle and I was just told several months to see my eye doctor. Depending on medical plan the insurance means you do not go to the specialist without a referral. So Canadians may not have as much to complain about. My parents were immigrants to Canada because it was easier (my father was in Danish Merchant Marine and was in China Sea when his appointment would come up in New York). They did not have it easy because they did not speak the language and worked hard to learn. Working as a housekeeper was the norm for females and my mother's education meant nothing when she expected to work in a bank. Danes stuck together and helped each other to get jobs, with carpentry (most had apprenticeships like brick laying), to socialize, etc. and this is normal for immigrants. Working multiple jobs was normal and having a great home was their American dream instead of a government apartment. It is true for all immigrants that their kids will do better than the parents. The kids will have no accent if they learn English by age 12. There are age cutoffs on learning a language in child development. During the hiring process the jobs are given to people the interviewer perceives as being like themselves. This is proven by psychologists (I am one). This puts immigrants at a disadvantage unless they have a rare skill without competition. Dad got his house and Mom took my sister and went back to Denmark because of health issues and the US has garbage medical care and social services for the elderly (poor sister didn't speak Danish because it wasn't allowed in case it impacted our English skill). As a daughter of immigrants I worked 20 hours days and weekends almost all my life. I put myself through school and have been successful despite being female and making much less than men. Immigrants need to realize that it will be their kids who make the big bucks and succeed while the parents who immigrated will struggle. As a cultural mix (US, Canadian and Danish citizen because of wacky sexist rules) I have had a lot of confusion over the years trying to fit in and figure out what my values are. I have had to ask my US husband is that behavior normal? Of course different states in the US or going 200 miles north to Canada means a different language to speak (Canadian or Spanish in the South) and different values, ways of dress, etc. so being an immigrant can mean just traveling 200 miles north or to an insane state like Texas or New York. Culture shock is everywhere but most of us move for the money. I am thinking of going back to Canada but my home was Vancouver and that now looks like a hell hole. My husband had over a million dollars in medical care and I really do not wish to lose all my assets to medical costs in the US. So now I am trying to choose between death by earthquake in BC somewhere or death by tornado or perhaps fire storm in Calgary due to climate change.

Trying to land a job in Canada..for 2 years straight, applying on different online sites still not getting lucky. What advice can you give me to finally land a job in Canada...thanks

Canada is a land with great resources, great opportunity and potential, but for a place with so much supposedly smart people they do alot of dumb things. Been here 7 years now and I have seen so many issues that have obvious solutions but because of some weird culture or heritage or whatever they just keep doing the same thing until it hurts them. The real estate market is an absolute MESS and everybody knows. Money laundering, realtors colluding to set prices, blind auctions etc you name it. But they are just gonna keep doing the same thing until the country is in a major recession. Then everybody is going to be crying for bailouts. The health system is a MESS. Trying to find a doctor is like finding a needle in a haystack. They have them driving taxis instead, claiming that their qualifications arent as good. Yet they dont have enough doctors or nurses to support anything. Coworkers whose spouses work in those industries let me know they have to be working ridiculous shifts because there are not enough people. The taxes are ridiculous. I work in I.T. and taxes are like roughly half my salary. Many coworkers have told me all the illegal stuff they do to get around the taxes. Which I don't do because I wasn't raised like that. But people get taxed so much everyone is doing some thing to try to bypass it. And if you dont know the tricks or dont want to do them, you just get screwed. People don't talk about real issues here. There is alot of fake positivity and optimism because they dont want people to get sad and suicidal from the really long and harsh winter. I used to wonder why there were so many train delays until some one explained to me that many people commit suicides in winter by stepping in front of the trains. The only thing propping up this country is the constant influx of immigrant slave labour through the college system, (Like a ponzi scheme). But the immigrants are going to stop coming here if they cant even afford to live at all. Even the regular citizens cant afford it. So what will the country do after that, since there is an elderly population and not enough people to support the industries? Right now most of the immigrants come here and save up there money to go somewhere else or back home after they realize what a shitshow it is. I even have coworkers born and raised in Canada who are telling me they want to leave. Canada needs to stop patting itself on the back for doing stupid apologies and stuff like that, and actually do economically sound things to stop digging themselves into this hole. Great potential for this country but I don't know if it will ever be realized.

Like I don’t understand how long are we looking at before this country fails! The cost of living and housing is mind-boggling!!! I moved here. It’s been three years. It’s been all struggles and trying to catch up and then prices rise again…i’m literally tied to work just like majority of the immigrants and majority of the middle class Canada…it’s the best country to live in if you’ve never ending amount of money…like can you imagine that you get one life and majority of it’s spent on work…wouldn’t it be amazing to have a normal job and get paid good and have reasonable time off and go to bed without worrying about finances? In my opinion, a country where teachers, nurses, and people running this country can’t find a house or live happily, that country is bound to fail…i’m planning to move to USA…i can’t do this anymore

Lucky me, no one wants me. My country hunts, robs, and tries to kill me constantly. I've been degraded and dehumanized in ways you can only imagine. I have no worth, so I can't go anywhere. I can't move up because I'm disabled and marked. My future is one of darkness as I won't be able to avoid the ground units or satellites forever. I'll get taken out eventually. No one will give me asylum. What can I give them in return? I hate the fascist USA. It hates me, too.

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!

Observe and make your way and try to stay critical of Canada's propaganda machine; the CBC. These comments and video seems to be mostly on the mark and rarely part of the state media narrative.

The most thing that suck is the reference. I have jumped jobs and the funny thing is they try to persuade me to stay then i say no then they will get sour and bad mouth you once your next employer calls in. Very unprofessional

Cute girls with Russian accent trying to state the obvious ?

Omg no matter what they do to try make it equal they'll flex it and turn it still racist like stfu already thats why people say this sh1t. You're the promlem in this case

Wish they would have let all three try to ask about the apartments at the beginning. Also they should have randomized which one would go first.

Am trying to watch the video, but had to move on, if you can explain the rationale for the constant annoying background beat/ noise , GEEZ

I moved to Canada about 17 years ago and yes it is an absolute pain to jump through all the hoops they want you to go through. I was only here a few days and I came from Ireland as a brick and stone mason they recruited me from Ireland and wanted me to come out. Within three days on the job I learned I would be getting less wages than the other bricklayers. I packed up my tools and walked off the job I notified the employer and the union by emails and told him I’d be flying back home in a few days. Well the union and the employers came running straight away to get me to stay. Trying to explain that after a couple of months I’d be on the same money as the rest of the guys. This is where I explain to them that taking home C$1100 was already a pay cut a massive pay cut as are used to take home 2500 to 2200 Euros living in Ireland. I moved to Canada for a change of lifestyle but that doesn’t mean I was going to be taken advantage of. And that’s when they said they would pay me the same as everybody else. Sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself and be willing to follow through. They even reimbursed me for the airline ticket I bought to go back. Some skill sets they really need in this country in addition Canadians population growth is absolutely dependent upon immigration as the family sizes and birth rates are critically to lol to sustained a country. As I’ve said I’ve been living here 17 years now and I am a Canadian citizen I guess that makes me an Irish Canadian now.

Why not try to come to the Maritimes while in North America? Either Halifax NS or Saint John NB? I would love to see your show. :)

why not montreal ?? I'll try to make the ottawa show then?

I tried to buy tickets to your show at the Bronson Centre in Not Toronto. They aren't available until tomorrow and I can't enter the presale code. Aww doomdah and sorry about not being able to buy tickets before they go on presale or sale.

As a Filipino Fan, I hope you try ours, too! I'm sure more of us will come if you choose to mention us! ?

I'm trying to buy tickets but it said page could not be loaded.

I want to see them try get into Mexico.

Argh! I'm trying to buy a ticket and it's not working. Is there a code I need for presale?

I'm still so excited you're coming to Oregon! I've been trying to make plans ever since I found out. I know it's not for awhile, but I can't wait! ?? Hilarious sketch lads! ?

Please ignore if this is too forward, just trying my best to hold my tongue and not pressurise you for an update on the December 15th gig?

This is just one side of the story. The officer also tried to say you wr shouting on me which they obviously denied.\nIt's sad how social media propagates tailor made stories and creates false narrative.

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.

I was trying to find out what happened to mango tango, this is him now!

I got nomination from Newfoundland week ago and before 31 Jan we have to submit everything .so can you provide guide me in documentation .I applied my self so only I got nomination otherwise my agent tried 3 to 4 PNP . But didn't get nomination from any one .

Sir main jewelry designer hoon toh can you help me..k kaise search kare main kafi time se try kar rahi hoon out of liye..

Some indians are sooo cold and just try to do it purposely to make you angry and lose control.

Please give me some guidance.\nMe and my family reside in India. My dad's company shut down and he's looking for a new job. He is qualified for a lot of skilled high paying jobs in Canada but we don't have work permit or PR. Should we apply for work permit first and then try applying for these jobs? Also can we apply to any jobs with work permit or it is limited to PR holders only? Any way to apply without permit?

Why alwayes they ask for experience, what bout training and fast learning\nI can do alot of things here in my countery without any certificates unfortunately\nI can draw well, still learning web development online, while i already have a \n job as (what i may translate to) Preventive \n Medicine specialist, i don't think this ocupation needed there in canada\nSo i hate to wast time trying for no avail\nAm i right?

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….”

It's not new fin lin... it's NEW-fin-land. The accent is on the first syllable. It's the best province in Canada hands down. This list sucks ass lol. Nice try tho, bro.

Ranking Manitoba 10th?? What Bull Shit…. This must be some thing Trudeau set up?? Another biased pole from down east…. No Thanks ‘n prairies are tired of Jack Ass in Ottawa running a minority GOVT ?? Try again but no thanks…… Biased report??

Madam I have been hardly trying to get mechanical engineer job in canada. Please help me to get job in canada. Because I have been cheated by one agency in india. Please help me otherwise my parents will kill me for wasting their money. Please response

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)

Of course this is a very subjective ranking; however, I would warn anyone that is considering moving to Alberta that we have done the worse job in Canada at managing the pandemic. Kenney, a college dropout himself, is actively trying to undermine education in this province.

I''m a natural born citizen of Can'tada of Scottish & French ancestry. Recently I made the mistake of trying life in the drug-riddled West Coast of this country. Talk about a downer. \nFwiw, diversity & inclusion are the ruination of many places. Immigrants, you can live better elsewhere w/o the expensive headaches of Can'tada. My life abroad in Red China was more comfortable till the pandemic forced me back.

Hah. You got suckered. Canada has this. If inside joke where they try to convince people that Saskatchewan is a real place. And you fell for it.

as a canadian i don't like ANYTHING about other cultures especially third worlders\nwe don't need islam we certainly don't need to learn anything about india or indians \ncome here work pay taxes please try to assimilate don't wear pyjamas and shower \nwe have LOTS OF THOSE

BC (Vancouver?) home value of $891, 000.00? Where is this deal? How can I buy? In Vancouver that price will not even get a decent condo. Try at least close to $2 million for a detached house, I mean really a slice of land. Vancouver is a peninsula, no space to spread out, unlike other lesser cities, so of course it is pricey. The secret is... to have parents that bought a double lot in the 60's. If you don't have that, like I do, well... good luck suckers.

Thank you for this ?? how can I move to Canada because I have tried alot but it fails

Almost everything you said is true except for the fact that I am not interested to go back to my own country. After all the doors were closed, I came to Canada. Even though I am still struggling here and there with so many things, I try to look at the positive side of being here. Having said this, I am thinking about moving away from Vancouver as the people are very disrespectful and insensible and insensitive. Thinking about moving to an interior place for a change and live there for a couple of years and get some peace of mind, ofcourse if I find a decent job. Thanks for the video

Why can't most of these people try and make a life in their own country.Than spending thousands of dollars fighting their case.m sure the thousands of dollars they spend here is worth much more in their home countries.
