Hi, I've been following you on youtube for a while. \nI'm an architect from India with 3 years of experience. I'm looking for a job in the field of architecture globally. I'm ready to move to any location. \nBut I see that it's easier to get a job if an educational course is done from their country. \nBut i dont want to invest in masters degree as of now, and want to work and earn abroad. Please suggest the easiest & fastest way possible.\n\nAlso, is it possible to connect with you over mail or something?

Come Nima and see ghettos

I have been in every province. I love Saskatchewan because I've lived here all my life. Every other province has much to see and do. I have been in about 20 US states, but at 71 I've decided not to cross that border again.

I like not seeing people anyway ?

I Love what am seeing bro EBM...am already in America psychologically

Sad to see these people

Love all your immigration videos, lads! Would love to see a Getting Through French Immigration video!

My dream is to visit Toronto, Canada one day and see Niagara falls in person. Canada is such a beautiful place,

so what is the point in getting permanent residency if they did not want to live there?! it hurts seeing people living your dream.

Finally saw a Pakistani family vlog .. good to see your video

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.

Brampton, nowadays becomes an Adda for Khalistanis. Every Indian respect the Sikh brother for the bravery and lovingness as they have blessings and teachings of Saint Guru Nanak ji. But now Every Indian has seen it after Farmer's Protest how Khalistanis of Brampton & Canada funded and provoked under the flag of Khalistan. Bro this is the era of Social Media. Pahle jo Sikh Mukhavte ke aar see hota that wo ab khule aam ho raha hai. Nowadays it's difficult for Indians to identify where the Sikh is Indian or a Khalistani. Why are they doing this? Please explain to me how to identify true Indian Sikhs.

Canada is like 3 countries in one, so it really depends where you are, especially if you wish to talk about culture. Im guessing you are in western Canada because that part is one of the youngest parts of Canada, it doesnt have much culture. Tho if you are in central Canada (Ontario) you'll most get a blend of american and english culture. The place where hawaiian and canadian pizza invented. Ontario is obsessed with pizza. \nTho the Eastern part is where Canadian culture is at its strongest AKA French Canada. Thats where most Canadian traditions like the Rigodon music and traditional food comes from such as: Pâté Chinois, Tourtière, Poutine, Donair, Poudigne Chômeur, Tarte au Sucre, Tarte au Fraise et Rhubarb and so on. French Canada even has its own version of french, its so different from the rest of the world that when a when they meet they wont understand half the words each sides say. French Canadian is based on the old french of the French nobility tho it completely disapeared in France during the revolutionary era because everyone that spoke it got executed. So french Canadian is basically a unique language now, i can totally see it getting rename as Canadian the language of Canada in the future especially of the west does indeed seperate. But right now its called the Joual. \nI hope i helped you fineeladies in having a better understanding of Canadian culture. \nIn a nutshell: English Canadians dont have a culture while french Canadians are extremely cultural.

I would like see you make a video comparing the topics you discussed in this video to your home countries.

Sir fan of you apka drama dhuaan Dekha kartay thay AJ ap Canada main settle hain mashallah good to see you i am also a truck driver but in France wish a good. Life sir be happy ameen

Thank you so much for the video and the comments below. A few years of straggling, to find a job and organize somehow my social life, significantly affected my self esteem. It’s encouraging to see that I’m not alone and that other people have same issues as I do.

A little sad to see Manitoba last, but thank you for mentioning Churchill as the only thing Manitoba is best at! Polar Bears. I’m proud to say it’s my home town. \n\nAlso I highly dispute Quebec being the best province. They get soooooo much of Alberta’s money in equalization payments from federal government. \nThe excuse you had for Alberta’s economy being tied to oil is the same for the entire country.

number On new question in the interview was WHY CANADA??? I suffered so much and had very long procedure to get to Canada. As an Canadian citizen I can see all immigrants want things their way just like they had it back home.\n HERE is the formula to fallow in the future: New country = THEIR LAW AND THEIR WAY. You made the move so be ready to change. if you can't stay in your country and come as a tourist. you'll have fun. By the way Quebec people will tell you straight in your face if the have something to say. specially if the have Italian or Irish back ground. I walked in as a lion but came back as pussy cat

I like Alberta, but not enamoured with it. Luckily it has an industry that gets the biggest technical subsidy to any industry ever. Now we see the younger generations are paying a big price for this and will continue to do so for decades to come because of a province that basically just wanted to ride the wave instead having any foresight not to mention it's lax approach to industry regulation.

Hold up, there’s crime in Canada?? I guess it probably goes something like this.\n\n“Hey, this is robbery, could I please steal some money?\n“Sure. Take as much as you’d like.\n“Thank you, I’ll be sure to come back!”\n“Alright, see you soon!

Both my parents immigrated from Europe so I can relate to many of the comments.\nSo, what I see is that Canada is a country of mostly heavy industry which often requires people to live in rural, remote, isolated communities. Canada is a big country so transportation is a significant part of it's economic foundation. Most people do not come here wanting to live up north or drive a commercial truck. They want to live in a big city and have a professional job.\nClearly the government has done a poor job of conveying what is needed (Trudeau is pretty clueless to be honest).\nIf you want to be in demand go rural and go north.

The Liberals see immigrants as a significant source of votes. With record debt and an already strained health and education systems, not to mention housing prices hitting the stratosphere in major cities, a rational discussion should be taking place re Canada's immigration strategy. I can't imagine how daunting it must be for someone coming here. Yes, Canada is still one of the greatest countries in the world, but that doesn't mean we don't have challenges. Thanks for raising these very real issues!

I am an emigrant from Romania ?? living in the UK for the last 7 years. My first job was as an assistant accountant in London, and I love living in England ???????. Canada is not for me, after seeing this video.

These same ladies have also posted a more recent video (see below) called Why Immigrants Stay In Canada - Even If They Don't Want To.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTTcxGd5s5g

We'll see you Indianapolis!

I think if you were a doctor or a nurse in your old country and you immigrate to Canada you should be able to continue on in your medical field here in Canada without going through all the BS of exams. This is why we have a shortness of doctor's and nurses here in Canada because the frigging Government won't do anything about it. Except bring more and more refugees in to Canada and illegal migrants using up Canada's healthcare system that the Canadian taxpayers in Canada are force to pay for even though they have family members who are in dire need of medical attention, but the line up and wait time to see a specialist takes a lot of time. If a immigrant is coming to Canada and he or she is a doctor or a nurse and English is not their first language, well then put that immigrant person in an ESL class to learn English or a French learning class if that person is moving to Montreal or anywhere else in Quebec.

Please make short video so that we can watch easily otherwise when we see 40 or 50 minutes video we avoid to play. Please think about it

I agree with this. Lived in Montréal for 10 years, Quebec has it all. But, moved to New Brunswick for cheaper housing market, visited British Colombia, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia it's all beautiful too, but always love going back to Ontario, so many things to see and do esp if you're a sports fanatic it has (NBA/NHL/MLB etc. Also, I love Alberta for it's majestic scenery esp Banff but I don't like it's politics.

Heeeyyyyy Arms. So news from England, we've entered a state of emergency with Omicron and we're seeing some deaths. I'm Covid negative but for reasons that I can't go into, I haven't had my 3rd vaccination (until January). Would now be a good time to tell you I'm a Stage 3 Kidney Failure patient, meaning I plan on being in Vicar Street on Wednesday but if I catch this 'plague' I may not be strong enough to survive it. Therefore please can I thank you all (especially Flanagan) for making my final days joyful and if you don't see my presence anymore online then, you will know why. Love you guys to the moon and back! ?

I'm Canadian and think the biggest issue is a lack of infrastructure. Even in a lot of major cities, things you'd expect to see like subway stations, corner markets, or arcades are uncommon. It's hard to find a job when there aren't many places to work, and it's hard to afford things when it's difficult or expensive to ship those things from place to place. Immigration could boost our population so we can better tackle these issues, but our system forces immigrants to start from scratch. That doesn't provide immigrants with much reason to choose Canada instead of the Netherlands, the USA, Singapore, or some other country.

If you ever do a test like this again, please include a person with a disability and how very few stores will hire them. Particularly people in wheelchairs. Face it... a Shopping Mall would be perfect for them as stores don't have steps to climb. But take the challenge.... Go to any Shopping Mall and see if you can find ONE Store that has HIRED a person in a wheelchair.

Almost couldn't believe it hearing my city announced! See you in Minneapolis, lads!
