I have always wondered about this. You look at literally any other continent in the world and you see many people out on the streets hustling and bustling. Especially here in Pakistan, everything is always alive. But whenever I look at the U.S or Canada on Google Maps, I always get this strange lonely feeling. Why are the streets always so empty? I have often thought that despite the endless amount of celebrities and YouTubers, journalists etc. who are always noisy on the news and social media, and portray a very lively image of North America, I really felt that the situation of the common man is quite different. The common man of North America must not think that their neighborhoods being this lonely and empty is normal. After watching this video, that belief of mine has been validated.

I am from Pakistan. Studied and lived in USA for over 10 years. Don't know where my time has gone so fast. Life is very busy in usa (I lived in Chicago, Denver, Orange County, CA and LA. People have to work two jobs to ends meet. Most people have to share housing...that really sucks. Constant expense (rent or mortgage payments are so high people have to constantly work. Whatever time people get they run chores and stay home and chill. You see ultra rich or people on welfare having fun at the beach. I have had a very close friend from pakistan came to usa same time as I did. we both never had enough time to meet up on regular basis. even when we met we had so many things in back of our minds running. I had couple of girlfriends (of course at different times) but they had other boyfriends at the same time. And number one thing they had on their mind is was get money from you. What you wear and drive is what you are. People consider you obsolete if you wear non branded shoes or older models of branded shoes. I traveled extensively in the US and Canada. But in East Europe like Romania and Poland I found people very friendly. Now I am back in pakistan facing basic problems like traffic jams, noisy honking streets and so on but for some reason i feel worriless and relax. whenever i go out, people start to talk to you and you feel like home. everyone is super friendly and is available for help. however you cant really trust people with money though. hahahha. After living in USA for so long I do really miss many things about it though. the efficient system is definitely a big plus. and i have realized that some times i like being all alone for extensive period of times. but knowing that i can meet up anyone any time gives me peace of mind. i have realized hard way that man made martials can amuse you to some extent only. you need live beings are you.

The word “Canada” is literally a native word they said to the Europeans when they arrived on they’re land lol one of the native tribes already living in Canada.

What about the opportunities for Entrepreneurs in technology at Canada?

Hi thank you for the vital information , please i work in a restaurant in Dubai as a cleaner and i will like to migrate to Canada when my contract end at the end of this year. please i don't kwon if you can assist me on that, thank you

The Best is definitely debatable. Every province and territory has its best and worst points depending on what your point of view is. Canada is a pretty phenomenal place to live but we can still complain because it’s what we do. ????

Why sikh people living in chrstin country USA Canada Australia newzealand England and this country only white chrstin people and sikh people real country India ? poor not safe

I love Canada ?? \nAs I am Punjabi

I'm from Québec, but I love all the provinces of Canada, they are just different from each other, and keep in mind even the worst in Canada is way better than a lot of countries. For me, I see the rest of Canada like family, like cousins. So I love them all. Even the native in the north, I don't see them a lot but hey, they are family too.

I have 7778 in IELTS but no experience can I go to Canada on pr basis

There's another, much bigger reason which is housing. Housing is one of the most expensive in the world here, both if you buy or rent. Average house price in Canada is around $800K, Toronto and Vancouver is over $1.2 Million.

I was keen optimistic to travel to Canada, I tried all I could to get a Canada visa I failed for three years, A medical doctor based in Canada referred me to Mr Ethan Lucas and his team really guided me through and I migrated to Canada in 2021 successfully at affordable cost.

Thank you so much!! I am looking forward to find work in Canada,, i am so inspired after watching this video. Cheers!!

I want to say thank you to both of you for sharing this info. I have discouraged many people from their thoughts of moving to Canada for many years. I love this video and will share with more people. People are always so surprised when I suggest they do not move to Canada, its a good video to help them understand .

ok , I will make it short for you all. Canada isss a communist country. and becoming really technocratic faucet communist place. Do not move . Move to somewhere warm and lively. That s all.

I was born in Canada and I want to leave…… this country is going right down the toilet ?

Where is the part where they warn you that Canada is now a dictatorship and a police state?

You came to Canada for what overpriced housing, unaffordable food, low paying jobs, and communism? Bahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahaha.. \nSucker didn't do his homework.\nWe Canadians are trying to seek asylum in the USA. Lol

Bhai zaleel hi ho rahe ho Canada men

Canada sucks ! this is the bottom line! especially now...

Canada sry\n\nUsa GUNS

The problem with Canada is that it still has British roots

How to start business in Canada bro

It's disgusting and sad that in Canada people are still, in the 21st century , being judged by the color of our skin. This is a great time to air this program, during the truckers protest.

Canada is the best place you can find in all of North America but the quality of life is low compared to Europe. I immigrated to Canada for my wife 10 years ago but I regret leaving Northern Italy

It's impossible to get a job from overseas it's time consuming and very expensive even if you fully cualifi I'm trying and it drrives me crazy..\nCan I come on ETA to Canada and apply for work visa or PR while in Canada\nRegards

He mera saval h apse ki canada m hospital work kaisa h because m hospital m job karne ke liye ielets kar rahi hu aap vaha ka experience share kijeye plz

Honestly, I'd rather befriend a Canadian than an American. Especially since early 2020.\nNot that I hate my US friends, of course. Online is fine. But if I have to visit them in person? That's a quick pass. Unless they have moved to Canada, that is.

Do I need to have work experience for moving in Canada

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.

oh my. I am planning to immigrate to Canada after 7 months and I'm about to finish my college. everybody I met so far says it better to immigrate to Canada but I wanted to hear the pov of someone who doesn't recommend it.\n\nI'm just a 23 years old what do you think? especially that I'm running away from my family, which means staying in Canada will be my only choice there will be no turning back. IF I actually did run off to Canada\n\nis it worth the shot? I'm literally broke btw

I enjoy your videos Adam. I'm American and considering immigrating to Canada. I've been to Vancouver a few times and also consider Nova Scotia. Would love to hear your opinion/comparison of B.C. vs Nova Scotia.

if i not aply the traductor in the video. my interpretation is out to Canada, no entry. please.jajajajaja

I love Canada! ????

Ive lived in Canada for 51 years .there has always been a job for me in all the 4 western provinces when i have asked for work.You must be flexible and possibly travel long distances to work between cities.people are friendly and willing to help .Some friends i know go home every few years and visit their Dr.then. many others have only been to the eye Dr.and dentist .A good healthy life in the North and all the freedom one needs .Eat fish and wild meat and all the berries and mushrooms you can pick.Doctors have been available when needed.Things in Northern Canada are expensive! Everything! Plan everything you do as weather can be a problem unless you are prepared.Ive often thot of moving back home but after a visit each time i have felt that i did not have the freedom of space and the wiggle room to do as you please on your own property.Cheers!

Socialist Republic of Canada, that is true but social programs came with price, health care in Canada is the ONLY good thing of the Canadian system, no other benefit to be in Canada. I think at this point where the homes are just a dream , where inflation is close to double digits Canada is not anymore an interesting destination for the economic immigrant. That should give the liberals a serious chill, one may think! Yet Canada thinks to drop its points system for bulk as it has a failed economy ( thx to Liberals) and its productivity is just 50% if compared to 1981. Trudeau and his cronies ruined AGAIN this country ( as his father did in 70's) the decade will be a nightmare for millennials.

I think some guys here are looking the glass half-empty, look at it half-full. Learn the language, accept the culture, be positive, be humble, don't compare your country of origin, this is Canada, if you have time and resources go back to school and be grateful you got here in CA. Canada doesn't owe you anything, remember you moved here freely. Think positive and be positive. Enjoy being here and besides Canada is still one of the best places in the world to live, work and play. ✌??

Ya. Florida beach is offering me a sholarship, am in canada right now and thinking about moving there

How was that .... we couldn't get Canada it is so difficult to immigrate to Canada .... surprised to those who leave Canada can they replace us to come

I grew up in Canada and this place is a woke shit whole.

I’m Japanese. I want to work in Canada in the future!\nI’ve had it with Japan!!

Many leave their own country, and come to Canada BECAUSE of their dislikes; extremism, culture, religion, laws, identity and in some cases backwards thinking; attempt to turn what we in society would consider as sexist, and discriminatory in some examples….\n\n…however when those same individuals finally achieve citizenship, or in some cases this starts (attempt to change Canadian law(s)) before obtaining citizenship, making moves to force the above, everything they despised, hated or disliked about their own country, into this new country ? Its like, the expectation is that we assimilate to them, not that they assimilate to their new chosen country??\n\nIt appears in some cases, going as far as attempting to rationalize why the the very thing they left their own country for, should now be a part of or have a place in Canadian society….where in any place in the World does this happen? Would it happen? Can you imagine, if I were a guest in someone else’s home, being invited over for dinner, but they had rules…like taking off your shoes when entering their home…or demanded they change their menu that they worked hard making for me to eat..or that I do not put my feet up in the coffee table or furniture…but I said, screw that, I don’t agree with their rules..I’m just going to do what I want! What would be the outcome do you think if I were to disrespect their rules?\n\nWhen Canadians have the audacity to say NO, we’re not interested in adopting …the rules/laws of the country they just abandoned…we’re now somehow insulted, or angered the guest? …the same Canada that has welcomed, provided safety, roof over their heads, food on the table, an education for their children, and provided access to our medical (albeit far from perfect) infrastructure.\n\nTo stomp their feet, bang their fist on the table when discovered that it’s expected to take four years of your life to become a doctor (which btw if you’re smart enough to become a doctor, you should be smart enough to of researched the expectations, PRIOR to coming to Canada) in the Country that YOU have chosen to spend the rest of their lives in, to have to work in a job to help support you and your families transitions,…imho, is NOT an unreasonable ask….that 4-5 years of their next 40-50+ ? Well, if that is considered a hardship, then maybe they need to rethink their intent. Maybe, the grass WAS greener in their former Country?!! \n\nI think to expect or demand to just step into or handed on a silver platter all the goodies without having to except to take the not so good…is imho ignorant, arrogant and selfish.\n\nEven with our flaws, Canada is one of the best places to live on the planet. It’s takes hard work, investment and community to make/keep Canada

where did you come from? canada is boring.... I don't know why anyone would come here

PEI is the best province. Everyone is so friendly there and it’s beauty is probably second to none. (B.C. is also very pretty, but something about PEI is more beautiful for me.) Anyways, it’s hard to go wrong anywhere in Canada.

This attitude is a lot more common in Canada than people around the world realize. \nA lot of white Canadians would say it’s not racist at all, while people of color in Canada are not surprised by this because white people acting like that is not rare here . Also, if your a POC don’t even bother going to Alberta or Saskatchewan. It’s basically the Canadian equivalent to the U.S south ??

For schooling it's the same if I go some where else to to live we have same issues. Really its same issues any where you go not just Canada.
