Thank you @MakeThatChange, I've lived in Canada all my life and your video is spot on.

I'm Asian from Republic of Korea. I liked USA but since a few days I'm really hating that country because of racism against Asians, Black people, people who are different religious. I've not seen other countries being this racist as America. I'm not saying that everyone from USA is racist but sadly i'm sure majority of them are! American people think that every Asian is Chinese and they call us Virus, they tell us to go back to our country if an Asian visits. This is how many Asians are losing interest in USA nowadays.. \nsorry for my bad English, i'm still learning! ??‍♂️

Very detailed video,the best I've ever watched with regard to immigrating to Canada to obtain PR God bless you for your relentless efforts in make this clear to us who wish to migrate to Canada.A Quick question Jason,I am a Sierra leonean by nationality but currently residing in Cyprus as an Asylum seeker; is it possible to apply for PR in Canada consedering my Status?and what will be your advise in my current situation?your response will really clear my doubts as i look forward to it.Once again God bless you.

My own family immigrated here from South Africa 40 years ago. They say the people here are dour, and unfriendly. Ironically over the years they have become the same. The country changes you, and each province seems to have it's own culture. Currently in my province there is a large influx of Indian students and Syrian refugees. Many students I've spoken to complained about the racism, poor weather and lack of things to do in my city specifically. Myself, I feel foreign now in a city I grew up in and am hoping to move out west, but maybe further south to be with my american boyfriend. I wonder what it's like immigrating to the States lol!

Hello! You're doing well and I must appreciate you for your deeds. Thanks for the concise direction on how best to tap from the numerous opportunities you've been sharing so far. Kindly recommend any firm, organization or body that deals with public relations more especially emergency response fields as I'm an emergency response Officer in my country of origin and have worked the job for several years. Thanks as I wait to hearing from you.

I've heard that it's better off doing business in Canada than a job in terms of tax and profile margins. Is that so? Any insights would be greatly appreciated ?

CANADA IS WHERE MY AUNT LIVES AND I'VE ALWAYS WANNA GO TO USA

It's terrible but look how our Government abandons it's own citizens in China too you only have rights on paper you learn that as soon as you expect enforcement or protection. Sad but true I've my own tales of woe as a natural born Canadian citizen.

I've heard the the us Death Rate is more higher than that and the us has one of the worst health care in the world so you would expect a higher death rate no offence ofcourse

There's a lot of nuance that goes into this. I've lived in Canada, Japan, UAE, USA and UK. imo Canada is amazing for third world immigrants like my grandparents were. Middle class are best off in Western Europe. High earners are better off in Asia. Jobs also play a huge part in this. A teacher will earn more in Canada than UK. A tech worker will earn more in UK than Canada.

Thanks for making this video. After nearly 13 years as of Jan 1st 2022, I'll be leaving Canada on a one-way ticket; not to my country of origin, but further into new ventures.\n\nIt's been a slog to become a citizen and try and make life work here. It's a good place to be successful financially if you make sound choices, and then to live a fairly quiet, isolated life. If all you want is to live within your own ethnic community and have a better quality of life, it's a good place.\n\nUnfortunately, it's never had enough culture or meaning for me. Life feels pretty empty no matter how much money you make. The national identity being based around home-ownership feels extremely depressing to me.\n\nAnd you're both on point about the reserved, passive-aggressive nature of Canadians. I've become like that too now. It's pretty obvious that it costs us dearly; people are unable to be genuinely warm, to take risks and form real friendships. Everything feels surface-level because no one risks taking the steps that might even be a bit of intrusion into each other's lives that is the signal of the start of a close friendship. I'm sick of the surface relationships I've had here.\n\nAnd the wholesale import of U.S. narratives with complete ignorance of our own realities. Most Canadians think they live in the U.S. and seem unable to name a single important issue in their own province or country. I truly came to see the Canadians as a colonized people who refuse to truly admit that they are colonized behind a thin veneer of insecurity posing as a virtue-superiority complex.\n\nI sound harsh but it's the outpouring of someone who's fallen in and out of love with his country.\n\nI don't know what I will find on the other side, but it's going to be different and I honestly can't wait.

Damn , I’ve been in Montreal since November 2020 and life is already tough (I started school again but in France I was earning the equivalent of nearly 2k CAD a month in my old job, a casual one at that) \nI don’t know if it’s worth it to even continue that diploma anymore ?

Canada has been good to me for last 20 years. That said, the system doesn't work for me. When I look at myself as highly qualified individual and when I compare myself to folks who are much less educated than me making the same or more (after tax), I feel discouraged to motivate myself to work hard. What's the point? That's why I've decided to move to US. It's really a land of opportunity for someone like me.

Navdeep bhai please tell the fb group where u ve got the proper guidance

Honestly of all the people I've met only Americans were racist, but black people and Asian people they were so friendly and always welcoming....

Hi, I've just subscribed to this channel.\nAt very first time i really want to move and live in Canada.\nBut i have to think twice after i watch this video.

This is the BEST video I've ever seen regarding moving to Canada. Thank you! You've covered all the most important points in about 15 minutes. I'll share this vid with others :)

I've been watching Simpson's reporting for a few years now and this switch to hosting this show isn't going well. She appears to be trying too hard to look like a journalist asking the tough question, and in the end just seems to be interrupting a lot.

Canada is going down the toilet. I’ve lived here most of my life, born and raised, and it’s just a disgrace now. Forget about all the obvious things that have been stated like ridiculously overpriced homes, high taxes, crap weather etc. \nOne thing I’ve really become more aware of throughout my years here after travelling abroad is that Canadians are truly boring people. Everybody sticks to themselves in their own bubbles and no sense of community or fun. \nBilly Bob Thornton said something many years ago on what he thinks about Canada in an infamous interview on the CBC:\n “Mash potatoes and no gravy”\nDude is crazy and messed up but, you know, he is right in what he says. Perfect description.\nA lot of people here are mindless drones. People are so scared to be speak their minds. \nIt’s a messed up, almost “1984” Orwellian type of society in some ways. Disturbing stuff going on here. But, yay, free healthcare...which has horribly outdated facilities and overcrowded hospitals and waiting lists for certain surgeries where you can wait for years....oh and a lot of doctors who are very cold and no empathy...??

highly appreciated the informative video making by a gorgeous girl. I've background in sales & marketing in different industries like Telecom, Consumer Goods & Currently in Automobile. How can I get a job offer in Automotive dealerships?

Blonde Russian gal is super cute. And yes taxes are excessive in Canada but you'll be surprised to know that taxes in Scandinavian countries are even higher. Invest if you wanna save on taxes. I've done that in the US, UK and pretty much everywhere I've lived till date.

regardling the medical school part, if the lady you mentioned has medical back ground of 10 years it should be very easy for her to pass those 4 years, and there are ways to just challenge the exams out right, and skip the course all together. I've done it before with very simple courses in uni which I found were a waste of time and asked the professor if I could challenge this test out right, and i did and passed them. so I think if she has 10 years of solid medical background it would be a breeze for her, the law is there to protect the public, as not all experience is equal. 10 years maybe alot but if is not up to par with the standard in canada then it is considered unacceptable unforunately.

So I've been searching on places to move and start my career and a family....sick of searching about crime rates and racism in many states of the US I just though...why haven't though about Canada yet? And here I am..thanks for the video..its a good start for me!

A good review. I still believe we will get it right Over the last 80 years I've found that once a fault is understood by the majority It gets corrected ; not always swiftly but eventually. Keep it up ladies. Stay safe & thanks Brian 81

Great video! I would like to share my personal experience so far: I came to Toronto in 2020 for a 2-year college program, met great friends that became family (flew back to my home country during the pandemic, graduated, and came back 3 months ago) and applied for my PGWP. However, I am planning on moving back home next year. Canada is a vast country, with friendly people in its majority, a rigorous taxation system, but what makes me mad is that some Youtubers portray that PR is the ultimate goal (which is not always granted) and even promote this toxic attitude that if you don't aspire to PR then you are wasting your time. Immigration is not for everyone, sometimes I think to myself if I should've invested that college money ($8k per semester) to buy a piece of land that over time will be more profitable. It leaves me with a bittersweet taste, but I will be forever thankful to Canada for the friendships that I made here and the experiences that I had.

I've been dreaming abut Canada for the longest - I don't know how it will happen but I will live there one day

Thank you for making the video, however, it does not depict the entire picture of immigration and immigrants’ situation in Canada ( re jobs, re-education & immigrants moving back to their countries). I hope my comment is not perceived negatively, but it stems from personal experiences: I am an immigrant, I’ve been in Canada for 28 years; I work in the immigration field; my partner is a new immigrant from Europe, with a degree in the medical field..A lot of what you say can be true , but it lacks depth, analysts & most importantly the bigger picture. \n\nPlease widen the scope of your research & explain the rational as to why things may be the way i they are. \n\nRe. Taxes; please compare to so-called 1st world countries like Germany, France, etc...

Assalamualaikum Asher Bhai happy to see u as it dating back to time of dhunwan play wen I was in 2nd year MBBS. Dear brother I v been doing GPShip in my native town.Wen I dug deep into medical career in canada.it came to light that finding job in family medicine or in any speciality is quite a complicated process which I can't get thru frankly.Another dilemma in my jumps terribly in front of me I can't qualify for Express entry d/t lagging far behind in scoring staying enough below 400.A no of my patients entered Canada as refugee.Most got PR within 2 years. They are advising me to adopt this route as I already got US visit visa valid upto sep 22.it is understood that I v to quit medical field and ve to adopt some other practical field .Kindly guide b/ c ur guidance will be of greater help to me in this regard allah Hafiz

I've had the confirmation. Two months and I'll be there.

I've completed the test and showed a slight preference to European than african

I've lived here all my life. Worked here all my life. Only been out of the country for maybe 3 weeks total. I'm 66 years ago. One thing that really bothers me about canada, is that bad management seems to be almost everywhere. From the private sector to the public sector. I'm not saying everything is poorly managed, but my impression is that about 80% of it is. For example, canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world, and we import oil. I think immigrants should think about this before coming here. Do you really want to be part of a team like this? How do I get around this bad management. I work for myself.

I'm also looking for the same, by the way may I've your contact information.... Thanks \n9953291272

Loved it. Pretty much the same as I expected. You've saved a lot of my time. Thanks so much!

If that man wants to Decapitate the women's head, he should've Decapitate himself before saying that.

A/A. Great topic and information! Thank you! For you to say you’ve been here for 15 years and haven’t experienced racism then you’re lucky. I have been living here for 28 years (that’s most of my life, I came her as a young child). My sister’s and I have experienced first hand racism due to our hijab in elementary school, high school, after 9-11 during job interviews (myself and my brothers due to their name being Muhammed). Over time things have gotten better alhumdolillah but racism exists everywhere and many have experienced it. Where there are people that use racial slurs or acts of discrimination etc, there are many more that will support you and guide you. I love Canada and wouldn’t live anywhere else but to say it’s not there and every case is dealt with the way it was dealt with our London family, is not the case. If it was, what happens with them would not have happened. May Allah help us treat one another with tolerance and love as Islam intends it to be. Once again thank you for creating videos like this to help our fellow Pakistanis.

“Both countries like football.” What? I’ve never seen a football game in canada

The comment section is actually civil, it's the reply section that's a war zone. Also, as a U.S. citizen I've never been to Canada, but I want to.

i've never experienced racisim, people are pretty nice in alberta.

I've been followed by other black men gaurds.

Am I the only retail worker who actually asks people if they need help because it looks like the can't find something ?? I've never followed someone I thought was stealing not my problem lmao

Ashir bhae I've great aspiration from your personality since I saw *dhooa* drama, your talk has always made energetic in optimistic way, please take interviews with pharmacist in clinical practice. Always in prays ??

First of all, you have an open Best Buy, that’s scary in itself. \nSecond, every Best Buy that I’ve been to that sales people are so bored that it’s like when they see an actual customer they all get excited. I’ve been asked multiple times of i needed help, then they tried selling me stuff i didn’t want.\nBest Buy isn’t a good example, sorry.\nBut i get the trail of the story. It happens and continues because of stereotypes and people not willing let be people be people.

Hey Jason, thanks so much for your videos. They've really provided me with a lot of information and put my mind at ease about a lot of the processes. I do have one query though - I have had a company of my own for the past 10 years (a film production company) in which I have been a managing director and also worked as a writer, director, producer etc. Since this isn't a traditional job with a regular salary, would it be ineligible as work experience under CRS? Would it be considered as being self-employed?

I think they're just being entitled and snobbish here. You've come to a country whose people have let you in. After a glorious chapter in India the motherland it's time to open pointless chapters elsewhere. \n\nAnd btw I'm an Indian origin person who's not sikh or hindu for that matter.

I’m American and I’ve always wanted to try Tim Hortons

Bro me from India, I've work experience and all other necessities just need a good ielts score, now pl need your help with that. I only can take online coaching coz of my job. Pl suggest me the best online platform for ielts.

What kind of turban was the young student wearing? I've never seen a little / weird turban like that.

Most of the North Americans(US+Canada+Mexico) I've encountered in my life are blatantly racist towards Indians and the weird part is they call Indians racist!
