Thank you for interviewing the older Indian immigrants. So many are pissed about the influx.

Thank you bro. I wish you interviewed me for this. I got opinions

I'm gonna need a whole video interviewing the guy on the bike please and thank you

1:16 Native, Native Canadian here. Wish I was interviewed. No holding back. Thanks for the journalism, and stay safe.

The old Dutch guy in the interview was right. When my father applied to bring us to Canada, we went through many tests and procedures, police checks from back home, and even from the FBI to prove we had never been to North America and the process lasted almost a year and a half. No money was given to our family, my dad was working our step mother was working; but now all these immigrants get in quick and free. I have a friend that works for a bank and he tells me people who can't even speak English or French show up and deposit government cheques for 30 or 40 thousand dollars. What about Canadians born and raised here, some need help, they don't get big cheques. There has to be a stop to all this influx of people coming from other countries who have it really easy once they're here, thanks to the government. I'm not anti-immigration, as I'm an immigrant myself, but this BS has to stop.

Thanks for opening up dialogue and interviewing a pretty wide range. Immigration does make Canada beautiful when done in a sustainable way. I hope we can find a balance into the future, the last few years we lost that balance.

I'm all for legal immigration but I don't think the US can handle any more people at the moment. I don't know about anyone else, but it's been brutal for me personally to find a job for a couple of months just to get by until my other job is good to go for the season. I've never had to claim unemployment (I always found another job within a week or two), and I've been suffering for the past 6 months. I'm more than qualified for some of the applications I have filled out, but yet I feel like just because I'm a white woman, I get skipped over. I've applied to around 50-70 jobs and only had 2 interviews. Thankfully, I still live at home, but if i didn't, I'd be wayyy more screwed. I believe America needs to take care of it's legal citizens first, then we can worry about others.

Thank you for doing this interview. It's vital to debunk the negative opinions about transgender people.

Go back and wait for interviews! No crime Chinese and cartel drug people South American go back let Trump do his Job MAGA thanks Mr 47 ❤

It's great to meet Cmdr. Shilling! Thank you for this awesome interview.

Great interview! I can’t even imagine having an Orange Buffoon dictating my life… I applaud you miss, you are a trailblazer and a \nShe-ro. Thank you for ur service and keep the fight alive… my heart is with you! ❤

It’s finally nice that CNN found a military service member that they can interview. thank God CNN doesn’t make policy. Just because you stick a lightbulb in your ass, doesn’t make you lamp.

because you got your citizenship, made your investments, earned enough money to travel around the world without having to worry about shaving your beard for a visa interview ever. and all thanks to the secular establishment of canada and the credibility of the canadian passport.

This is an excellent video, and you are clearly a very respectful and decent person. Thank you for posting it. I only hope you will keep my comment posted here once I write it. I've written similar comments elsewhere that were automatically deleted by the person who posted the video, and I found that disheartening. I first want to address the rumour about human feces and dirty diapers being found on Canadian beaches, and I want to stand up for the people who called out Indians for doing this. Somebody saw something. Maybe they weren't able to produce any legal proof of it, but they clearly saw something, and there is nothing racist about them calling out this behaviour. This practice is not only unhygienic. It is ILLEGAL in Canada; so, it absolutely should be called out publicly to prevent it from ever happening again. I have seen many videos about the culture of mass open defection in India. The videos I saw were posted by Indians themselves. One of those videos was a TEDx talk done by a woman named Sangita Vyas who discussed the truth about open defecation and that it is not limited to only the poor population. Even people who can afford to build latrines are not using them, and she explains why after interviewing Indians to ask why. I've watched Indian doctors talk online about how many Indian children die from something as simple as diarrhea every year as a direct result of the water contamination caused by open defecation. So, clearly, open defecation is legal in India, and perhaps some of these people think if it's legal at home then it must also be legal elsewhere. WRONG. It's illegal in Canada. It's unhygienic. It should never happen. Period. And there is NOTHING racist about a Canadian saying this out loud and reminding people that they must follow the rules and laws of the country they are in.

Similar story, grew up in Vancouver as a kid. Can't say that I got much from Canada other than a pile of student debt. With a top engineering degree from a Canadian university, no jobs, no interviews. If it set me up for a better future, I could give it some credit, but even with visas, I had *much* better luck with opportunities in the US and even in western Europe, which is similarly socialist to Canada. I have had to move from country to country thanks to the lack of decent opportunity in Canada. More liability than asset, in my experience, other than the passport. Glad I left when I did, only regret I didn't do it sooner. Good luck to wherever you go next. I hear eastern Europe is a cool place, if you bring your income with you ;-)

Nice interview. Thanks. Nice to hear the optimism.

Immigrants come from around the world - please interview people from different regions around the world and not unpermitted persons who aren't legal immigrants. Thanks ?❤??☺️ \nYes, deport unpermitted families together. Thanks ?❤?

Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

Thank you to the last guy being interviewed, Its a problem of the country not keepjng up with its infastructure. Immigration has always been around and will continue in the future. Canada has just decided to stop inovating, or not moving fast enough.

One thing which Indians do without realizing which causes hatred with indians is that if they are to hire they hire indians origin candidate. If you are unfortunately their colleague they aren't helpful but make your life difficult with different tactics so u should think about leaving ASAP. I am not making this up I have experienced personally. If interviewer is an indian then it is less likely you are hired if you aren't from india. We want to work with you and live with you pls make it easier for us canadians. Thanks.

Hi Harrison. Thanks for sharing the video above. Regarding your question, by all means, it'd be great if you could interview people in other cities throughout Canada.

It's really sad to see this ..these kids don't come from great financial backgrounds ..and looting them for 20 to 25 lakhs is like a crime. It's like more educated way to loot someone. I went on an Office visit to Toronto back in 2013 when basement costed around 700 to 800 CAD, the student's situation wasn't that grave. One could see students, but not many. Mostly were working people back then. This govt Official you interviewed needs to take his job more seriously. 20-30 lakhs could be more than life savings for some families here in India. It's so very tragic. Thanks for doing this, The Fifth Estate channel. I just hope new aspirants see this. Although I've a suggestion, if you could do this Translated in Punjabi. So that it's reached the actual beneficiaries of this whole exercise. Please let me know, if you need any help with this. I can help in Spanish translation as well, if you need to send this to LATAM. I see many Mexicans, Guatemalans, Colombians, Venezuelans find Canada as their prime destination. I knw many of them. Subscribed your Channel for the good work ? -- Thanks!

hello pls Is bank statement submitted during visa application or during interview. How long is duration between application and interview. Thank you

I noticed the majority of whites you interviewed were not exactly upper crust. Either way, our country is fek'd thanks to Trudeau's policies

Thank God someone cover this thing. I am Indian Sikh moved here with my parents in 2021 and we are permanent Resident. I am disable so my parents thought it would be a great country in terms of opportunities but you know what I have not get any job because wherever I went for interview, there are so many international students looking for job as well. \nBring a citizen, it’s very heartbreaking that other who don’t have PR , still getting jobs.

Thank you, Mr. Peter well explained. Pls question. Someone told me that the Canada embassy doesn't request a visa interview, that they only do fingerprint, is that true?

Greetings sir ,thank you very much ,please I wish to ask in a scenario that a couple that is husband wife and a son of one year something ,would the immigration officers at the port of entry interview the couple separately,

Very trashy video and extremely low level comments. The mental level of the so called journalist, the people interviewed and the comments are utterly mediocre. An embarrassment to Canada. Thank goodness, these people in the video, “journalist” and comments do not represent the best of Canada.

In those interviews he should have turned around and thanked Sean Fraser for his massive miscalculation. Just a bunch of tools they are. Incompetence at its finest

WoW! I can't seem to find the words . . . . You are my absolute new FAVOURITE channel! You are such a GEM! A talented, brave and courageous GEM. The next up and coming Aaron Gunn ! Making VIIDEOS that MATTER. That make ALL the difference! That MAKE CHANGES that people so NEED to know can happen! You have it my friend . 100% and then some. You so have it! I'll be back when I'm over this star struck feeling to share what I really feel THANK YOU ! So much Gavin! I will not only help you get to 10K, I'm gonna help get you get what you deserve! MILLIONS! Baby steps first. Let's help you get to 100K first. Quick question Gavin, Do you know who the Alexandre Brothers are? They hang around the Ontaribble area mainly. I'd LOVE to see you interview them. Do a documentary on those boys. Canada needs to share who they are, what they do. They're word is getting out there and its VITAL they reach as far as fast as possible! You and them are nuthin but a scratchy scratchy situation. Promise. You could do absolute wonders for each other. Please think about it. Cheerz!

NIGERIAN BRO GAVE PERFFECT INTERVIEW THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY

This interview excellent all talk natural I learned what is the value of mother land this tow respected lady teach me very nice way value of social life thanks for you arrange interview see you again

Thanks so much for this interview.

Great interview ?? thanks for sharing

I migrated to Canada in 2000 and moved in to United States after 3 years. Employment discrimination had pushed me out big time. Its funny that all employers were asking Canadian experience during job interview for a just landed immigrant. That’s big bull shit of stupid canadian employer. I’m a civil engineer from the Philippines and can not swallow the pride of being an order picker from canadian tire distribution center in toronto. I abandoned immigrant status, moved in to Texas, USA and currently working as project manager in the oil and gas sector. Thanks America for fulfilling my american dream together with my family. Nk plan to look back to Canada.

Wow, seriously, this is an insightful video. Thank you very much for this detailed information about the interview and your experience. Quite thrilling. I appreciate you. girl.\nThank you.

Excellent interview. Both respected ladies shared views honestly. The main difference is a bit generation difference. If we compare current economy and opportunities. Sorry to say the biggest problems of India are1- Corruption 2-Pollution3- ethical government 4 - EverywhereHindu-Muslim 5- Very limited infrastructure ( Roads, Power etc) 6- severe infection ( compared to earnings) 7- Level of Accidents and drunk drivers 8- very few opportunities matching skills 9- Very poor quality of education and unprofessional health 10- honesty is a real issue 11- Fake Godi media +++++\nI don’t mean India is a bad country. It’s one of the best country on earth. The issue is the governance especially current government is a biggest issue. Poor people are exploited that’s why kamvalis, rickshaws drivers, plumbers, electricians, masons, carpenters are provided services almost free.\nWe wish India gets it’s golden bird status back. \nTo both aunties- Thank you for sharing views. Stay healthy and happy which you already are. Good luck

Interestingly, all the people interviewed seemed to have had a first degree in Nigeria considering how new they are in Canada, even the interviewer, thus if Nigeria is so bad how did they blend easily with the Canadian system if they learnt/gained nothing from home? The problem with mankind is that we all forget to thank God for little mercies. We focus only on what we lack but not thankful for the little we have. That foundation in Nigeria, that good culture, in Nigeria, that Nija intelligence, that Nija confido is what makes it easy to emigrate out of Nija and do well anywhere in the world seamlessly. So we gained plenty from Nija just that we FOCUS on the things we don't have and such spirit of ingratitude may not enable us change Nija system. So ingratitude is the issue too. We need to acquire the good things out their and come back and develole Naija. That's the spirit of gratitude otherwise our cousins/brothers and sisters who may not be able to emigrate will still continue to suffer the same things we ran away from.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. However, the issues you have faced in Australia will haunt you in some way in Canada too. I am a Canadian PR and just love Canada. The people are very nice, landscape is amazing, and it is cheaper than Australia. But it is just as hard in Canada to find a good job as it is in Australia. I am a Petroleum Engineer with over 10 years of experience working in a fortune 500 company, yet I cannot even get an interview for a related job in Canada. I also realized that lots of immigrants who came here through express entry and have years of experience work overseas despite staying in Canada for years due to the lack of opportunities. Anyway, best of luck to you.

Hello Joyce, am happy to listen to your videos . I did o levels and the l did typing. I have worked in a clinic for ten years as receptionist and a helper. I have a family and both of us no-one has a job now. My daughter is in class 7 now and 2023 she will be a candidate. What job can l apply because l really need something. \n\nMy friend had invited me to US over the Easter holidays but l was scheduled for next year's interview of which am seeing it's very far . Please advice. Thanks

Thank you EBM for bringing Joyce on board. You've really touched in all areas. I had given up on Canada but after watching this interview I am revisiting. ❤️ Blessings

Hi Thanks Great Video., I'm from india. Having virtual interview next week. I'm UI/UX designer with 8 years of experience, How to ask salary,? Bcz In their job posting they have mentioned $50000,. Current I am getting $7820.66 (456000 INR Rupees), Shall I ask $50000? Or shall I ask 80% or 100% of my current salary,.. Please help me on this

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.

Sir, plz make a video on whole interview process regarding diff..designations like IT professional, Accountants etc.. My background is in accountancy.. so plz make a video so that i will get a clue on this.. thanks....
