- Canada's high cost of housing has nearly 40 per cent of the country’s new immigrants thinking about moving to another province - or even out of the country altogether, according to a new poll.
Respondents to the poll by the Angus Reid Institute were most likely to say that, if they did leave the province they are now in, they’d head for Alberta.
But it’s not just new immigrants that are ready to move to find a better deal on housing. The survey found that, among all Canadians, 28 per cent are giving serious consideration to leaving their province because of high housing costs.
Global's Alissa Thibault has the details.

Don’t come to Canada because the dream is actually a nightmare
facts
😂 serious? Syria, Gaza are nightmares, Canada is definitely not, check your privilege
Hedge funds attacked housing markets all over 🌍 , and govts all over🌍 have let them do ii 😮
Move if you think it's better elsewhere.
It's going to look like one of those places if we block freedom. Of speech and let a million people in a year and leave those who are citizens behind... I always thought people agaibst helping people in tough spots trying to come here were racist jerks because that's what we are taught to think these days. It's not true. The fact is...our countries are BETTER for actual REASONS and not protecting our way of life will absolutely result in Canada very quickly becoming a war torn not so free poor cou try that people are escaping@@slothsarecool
Please do. Tell your family how horrible it is too!
We need to complain to the government and keep complaining.

I will go to Canada soon and bring my family. If you don't like it, consider moving to another country 😊

@@soundscape26 i mean if canadians living abroad think where they are is super bad and unlivable then yeah obviously they should come back to the place they see as better..... its not about 'immigrant bad,,,,,, go home' its 'immigrant says their home country would be better and is simultaneously causing burden upon their new state so they should return to their home state which they stated they prefer and are supported better in, so that everyone benefits'
40% less east indians in canada is not a bad thing!!!!
Sure… if you think that’s bad … try immigrating 40% Palestinians or Brazilians …
There's no such thing as a east Indian just another fake name given by the british, it's fake fake fake
100% less would be way better.
They are South Asians.
no even worse, they are the only ones hellbent on staying, while real canadians are being pushed out
40% immigrant and you left out about 70% of Canadian citizens thinking of moving. I love this country but its not the country I used to loved

Government needs to bring right immigrants like they used to. People with few hundred dollars are coming from countries like India, Nigerian, Philippines. When they come here, they realize it is not easy to grab dollars and that it is expensive here. Countries like US, Australia, UK, Singapore etc. are taking measures to manage immigration. Trudeau liberals are selling the country as if it their personal property. There is a need for complete overhaul of immigration policies. Mass immigration benefits a few businesses. But most of the Canadians are impacted, especially when it comes to jobs and access to resources.

Born and raised in Canada, but I’m looking for a cheaper better living country❤
Go to Somalia and North Korea.
I would consider ex-Soviet states, just the right balance between the order and chaos: you can do whatever you want (rules are really loose) if it doesn`t create inconveniencies for others and simultaneously everything is organized enough, you will not see any drug addicts and homeless people (of course they are somewhere, however their amount in society is negligible) . There is capitalism and you can buy whatever you want (excluding land in some cases), however the remnants of communism provide excellent perks like easily accessible healthcare, excellent public transit system, etc. Good house is around CAD 150k, of course you can find something for millions, but it will be a real palace unlike a plywood shed in Vancouver (btw, houses are the real ones, made of bricks and concrete: warm in winter, cool in summer), food is way better than in Canada. No woke culture (they are somewhere, but like homeless people not visible).
E.g. Almaty, Kazakhstan (check youtube videos) wins Calgary, Alberta all the way, totally, in all aspects (excluding traffic jams)...
@@AbyKaby no woke culture I am in🦾

. no wonder...the men are living sacrifices for Putler in the useless war in Ukraine.
Even those who were born in Canada or are 2nd generation are considering relocating… it’s really bad out here and the horrendous job market doesn’t make it any easier.
They won't hire citizens. Employers get a kick back from the government for hiring foreigners. How do we compete with that? Using our own money to make us unemployed :(
Our Canada... wanting to go back to a third world country rather than stay here. We have fallen so far.
How do you think actual Canadians feel who are multi generational? We don’t have other countries to go back to. Canada is a mess. Please leave.
And a random indigenous guy. Canada is a mess. Please leave all... And he is right, tbh...
@@AbyKaby Exactly- that’s what I don’t understand- I’ve seen so many comments from ppl with last names Singh and Khan, etc saying “you Europeans took the land from the Indigenous”, ummmmmm so that makes it okay for Indians to come and take more benefits and land and housing and rights away from the Indigenous community? Like they want to be colonized a second time? Make it make sense, 2 wrongs don’t make a right.
@@Brunettte-Barbie Actually, why ppl called Singh, Patel etc. know English and why they have links with the Anglo-Saxon civilization? Due to colonization... it is a fact. And they feel entitled, I guess. Colonization has the postponed price to be paid by future generations...
However, personally, I don`t want to live in India and it was one of many reasons why I left Canada.
even if you could it wouldn’t matter, all developed countries have the same issue right now, probably best to figure out how to deal with it or push local government to create homes etc
Some European nations have a right of return policy even for the children who were born in a different country.

What does the Prime Minister have to do with housing?
@@bobwoods1302 To change the legislation making obtaining permits easier and with some limitations in some areas allowing people to build houses themselves. Canada is huge with tremendous amount of empty space and a lot of woods, considering that 99% of local houses are wooden, it`s a despicable shame to have a housing crisis with such prerequisites.
It would be understandable somewhere in microscopic Monaco of Luxemburg but not Canada...
@@AbyKaby Permits are not an issue. The price of land is. Yes Canada is a huge country but everyone wants to live in the same place.
@@bobwoods1302 Let`s consider for example Halifax, NS. Like in the whole country housing prices skyrocketed there. the supply is limited. However, within an hour of driving there are plenty of quite cheap land. Why not to allow people in some areas to build houses by their own hands? There are plenty of handy people among the locals and immigrants.
It isn`t that difficult to elaborate the simplified minimum requirements for one or two types of residential properties... Electricity, plumbing, heating - they are not a rocket science.
@@bobwoods1302 The federal government sets the amount of new comers that are accepted into the country, for many years now that number outpaced the amount of homes that can be built.

Debunking the "Real Canadian" Myth: A Critique of Exclusionary Views
Introduction
The argument that "real Canadians" are struggling while immigrants receive undue attention is not only flawed but also rooted in a misguided notion of identity and entitlement. This perspective fails to recognize the complex and diverse nature of Canadian society and disregards the essential contributions of immigrants to the nation's development. Moreover, the concept of a "real Canadian" is nebulous and exclusionary, undermining the very principles of equality and multiculturalism that define Canada.
“The Illusion of the "Real Canadian"
Who exactly are the "real Canadians"? If one were to argue that the term refers to those born in Canada, this definition becomes problematic when considering the nation's indigenous peoples. Indigenous communities, who have lived on this land for millennia, have often faced marginalization and systemic injustices. Labeling other Canadians as more "real" than the indigenous peoples disregards their historical and cultural significance.
For non-indigenous Canadians, tracing lineage to early settlers, it is important to recognize that everyone, apart from indigenous peoples, has immigrant roots. Whether they arrived generations ago or more recently, all Canadians share a common history of migration. Defining "real Canadians" as those who came earlier dismisses the continuous influx of new residents who contribute to the nation's evolving identity.
The Fallacy of Prioritizing One Group Over Another
The notion that prioritizing the needs of immigrants somehow detracts from addressing the needs of Canadian-born citizens is a false dichotomy. Social and economic policies should aim to improve the lives of all residents, regardless of their origin. Immigrants do not take resources away from "real Canadians"; rather, they add to the economic dynamism and cultural richness of the nation.
Economic Contributions of Immigrants
Immigrants play a crucial role in Canada's economy. They fill essential jobs, start businesses, and contribute to innovation and growth. According to Statistics Canada, immigrants accounted for over 80% of the labor force growth between 2016 and 2021. This influx is vital in an aging society where the native-born population alone cannot sustain the workforce needs. By bringing in diverse skills and perspectives, immigrants help drive economic prosperity that benefits all Canadians.
Addressing Affordability and Economic Inequality
Affordability issues, such as housing and cost of living, are genuine concerns that affect many Canadians. However, these problems are not caused by immigrants but by broader systemic issues such as inadequate housing policies, market dynamics, and economic inequality. Solutions to these challenges require comprehensive policy reforms, investment in affordable housing, and targeted social programs, not scapegoating immigrants.
The Value of Diversity and Inclusion
Canada's strength lies in its diversity and commitment to inclusivity. The idea of excluding immigrants to favor so-called "real Canadians" is antithetical to the values of equality and mutual respect. A multicultural society that embraces newcomers enriches the cultural fabric, fosters innovation, and promotes social cohesion. Denying this reality undermines the very essence of what makes Canada a vibrant and progressive nation.
Conclusion
The argument that prioritizing immigrants harms "real Canadians" is not only factually incorrect but also deeply divisive. There is no singular definition of a "real Canadian" that can exclude any group without perpetuating injustice and inequality. Canada's identity is built on the contributions of all its residents, regardless of when they or their ancestors arrived. By focusing on inclusive policies that address the needs of all Canadians, the nation can continue to grow and thrive. Rejecting exclusionary views and embracing diversity is not just a moral imperative but a practical necessity for Canada's future.
Exactly.
You're delulu if you think immigrants leaving means the avg canadian can finally afford a house
@@dennischen2642 Just as I said in another video. Even if immigrants are leaving, that doesn’t change the fact that Canadians themselves are moving too. Immigrants leaving NOT only means that the house price will decrease, BUT that the entire economy would crash. When immigrants leave, everything is in less demand, meaning companies will earn less money. They would then fire more and more people, leaving people with no job. It also has other causes etc.

@@freddexta3363 I get your point. But would it be something you would say to all min wage employees? Somewhere there will always be jobs level that are low paid. Like preparing sandwiches in a Subway. You can't have a capitalist economy where no one has a low paid job. The point of Lawrence still stands; it is not fair for someone who is low paid to see someone else not working get almost the same quality of life. Where is the incentive to work then?

Critiquing Exclusionary Views: The Essential Role of Immigrants in Shaping Canada
Introduction
The statement "good, please leave immigrants" reflects a narrow and exclusionary mindset that fails to acknowledge the significant contributions immigrants make to Canada. This perspective not only undermines the foundational values of Canadian society but also overlooks the numerous ways in which immigrants help shape and enhance the nation.
Economic Contributions
Immigrants are vital to the Canadian economy. They fill essential roles in various sectors, including healthcare, technology, education, and agriculture. Many immigrants bring skills and experiences that are in high demand, helping to address labor shortages and drive innovation. According to the Government of Canada, immigrants contributed approximately 80% of the labor force growth between 2016 and 2021. Without this influx, Canada would face significant challenges in sustaining economic growth and competitiveness.
Demographic Sustainability
Canada's population is aging, and birth rates are relatively low. This demographic trend poses a serious threat to the country's long-term sustainability. Immigrants help to counteract this issue by bringing youthful energy and increasing the working-age population. This demographic boost supports the pension system, healthcare, and other social services that rely on a balanced ratio of workers to retirees.
Cultural Enrichment
Immigrants bring diverse cultures, traditions, and perspectives that enrich Canadian society. This diversity fosters creativity and innovation, leading to a more dynamic and vibrant community. Cultural exchange encourages mutual understanding and respect, breaking down barriers and promoting social cohesion. The multicultural mosaic of Canada is a source of pride and strength, reflecting the country's commitment to inclusivity and diversity.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Many immigrants are entrepreneurs who start new businesses, create jobs, and drive economic growth. They bring fresh ideas and different approaches to problem-solving, which can lead to groundbreaking innovations. According to a study by the Conference Board of Canada, immigrant-owned businesses are a significant source of job creation, with higher rates of business ownership compared to native-born Canadians. These entrepreneurial endeavors contribute to a thriving economy and a prosperous society.
Addressing Misconceptions
The idea that immigrants should leave Canada ignores the reality of their contributions and the mutual benefits they bring to the country. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes and fosters division rather than unity. Excluding immigrants would not solve Canada's challenges but would instead exacerbate economic and social problems.
Conclusion
The exclusionary view that immigrants should leave Canada is not only misguided but also detrimental to the nation's future. Immigrants play a crucial role in shaping Canada's economy, demographic sustainability, cultural richness, and innovation. Embracing and supporting immigrants is essential for maintaining the country's prosperity and upholding the values of inclusivity and diversity that define Canada. Far from being a burden, immigrants are integral to building a stronger, more vibrant, and resilient nation.

I gave Canada a chance and moved from Vancouver to Calgary, that didn't work out. The same problems are there just repackaged into different ones.
Now in the US...a few years in and I can't believe I didn't do it earlier.
Wait until you get sick
@@M_SCyou go to the hospital when you get sick???
That's curious which part of the US are you in. I've been thinking of leaving the place I was born in Surrey.... I feel like i live in the middle East, it is definitely not the country I grew up in.
My first choice was going to be somewhere in Alberta but moving to the US may be an option.
@@M_SCthe cost of medical Care is definitely more expensive in the US but that being said you can actually get the care you need unlike in Canada with huge waiting periods for emergency rooms and operations.
@@Plug604 Florida has the best govenor in the US. plus the warm weather.
Whatever you do, dont go to CA. Gavin Newsom destroyed that state and its having its own mass exodus.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. Oh behalf of all Canadians, PLEASE feel free to leave and DO NOT consider moving to Alberta. I REPEAT… PLEASE DO NOT COME TO ALBERTA.
Ironic. It’s because of the immigration that housing is unaffordable! Any apartments that come up, there’s a line up of 150 non-Canadians competing driving the price up!
Trudeau's Canada
Please leave we have no room for any newcomers
Lots of room, just not in the cities. Come on up and bring your cash so we can take it and give it to conflicts in other countries!
The high cost of housing initially surged due to an influx of immigrants, which also contributed to keeping wages low. This situation has resulted in a lasting disadvantage for many
And was entirely contrived while Harper was in power.
You do not fool me, free poll in disguise.
Yes.....Canada is FULL....Don't come.
The race to the bottom needs to stop... if they leave, wages can catch up and housing prices will cool off. A win-win for the next generation and middle class!
Immigration consultants are still simping for Canada and providing the blueprint for easy PR
Introduction
The notion that Canada is "full" is not only misguided but also overlooks the immense potential that the country still holds for growth and development. Despite being the second-largest country in the world, Canada has a population of just around 38 million people. This results in a population density of about 4 people per square kilometer, one of the lowest globally. Suggesting that Canada is at capacity ignores these realities and undermines the nation's capacity to accommodate more residents and foster economic growth.
Misconception of Fullness
Canada's vast landmass and low population density are key indicators that the country is far from full. Many regions, especially in the north and rural areas, remain sparsely populated and underdeveloped. This distribution highlights not a lack of space but rather a challenge in balanced population distribution and infrastructure development. The claim that Canada is full often stems from the congestion observed in major cities like Toronto and Vancouver, but these urban pressures do not reflect the reality of the country's overall capacity.
Economic Necessity of Immigration
Immigration is not merely a choice for Canada; it is an economic necessity. The Canadian economy relies heavily on immigration to sustain its workforce and drive innovation. Immigrants contribute significantly to various sectors, from technology and healthcare to agriculture and construction. Without a steady influx of new residents, Canada risks facing labor shortages that could stifle economic growth and reduce its global competitiveness.
Addressing Urban Congestion
While it is true that major urban centers in Canada face challenges related to housing and infrastructure, this is not an issue of national capacity but rather urban planning and policy. Effective urban planning can alleviate congestion and make cities more livable without shutting the doors to newcomers. Investment in infrastructure, transportation, and affordable housing can transform crowded cities into well-organized hubs that can continue to grow sustainably.
The Social Fabric and Cultural Enrichment
Canada's identity is built on multiculturalism and diversity. Immigrants enrich the social fabric of the nation, bringing diverse perspectives, traditions, and innovations. This cultural mosaic is one of Canada's greatest strengths, fostering a more inclusive and dynamic society. Declaring the country "full" would not only halt economic progress but also undermine the very principles of openness and diversity that Canada prides itself on.
Environmental Stewardship and Sustainable Growth
Concerns about environmental impact are valid, but these issues are better addressed through sustainable growth strategies rather than halting immigration. Canada has the resources and the potential to develop in an environmentally responsible manner. Emphasizing green technology, renewable energy, and sustainable practices can ensure that growth does not come at the expense of the environment. Canada's vast natural resources and commitment to environmental stewardship provide a solid foundation for sustainable development.
Conclusion
The idea that Canada is "full" is a simplistic and misleading notion that fails to recognize the country's vast potential for growth. With its low population density, economic reliance on immigration, and commitment to multiculturalism, Canada has ample room to welcome new residents and continue to thrive. By addressing urban challenges through effective planning and investing in sustainable growth, Canada can ensure a prosperous future that aligns with its values of openness and diversity. Far from being full, Canada is a nation with room to grow and a bright future ahead.
@@WYLNXCA Most of Canadian land is uninhabitable, genius. You are just copy and pasting elitist viewpoints, without considering climate change and economic challenges for the middle class and poor.
@@WYLNXCA Multiculturalism is the only 'misguided' thing here. All cultures are not equal...and do not hold the same values as founding nations of Canada.....and Canada's potential has to YIELD to Canada's values and identity....but nice try at leftist brainwashing.
born and raised in Canada, moved to India. I have a business here, a 5 room apartment and farm land.
Stay there , dont come back please
@@JimmyCrackCorn_ well once I make wealth here, I can come back and buy a gas station and Tim Hortons with my Indian children. Be open minded.
I already left thank God, I don’t wanna suffer that expensive economy and that long winter
Canada's expectations vs reality ratios are way off

Not enough recourses??!!!!!??? Where in second largest country on Earth????!!! Are you serious? Oil, gas, forestry, agriculture, diamonds, metals, uranium, coal etc - does not count? Problem is not luck of recourses!!!! Pure management is the problem!!!!!

Good i dont see foreigners sleeping in tents.
I saw a Pilipino dude sleeping on the street.
@@ar6888 when did you go to Phillipines? Was thinking of visiting soon myself.
The foreigners let in are not drug addict losers
That's because they come from primitive tribal cultures....that look after their own first...ahead of real Canadians.
@@newlife956 what country did you migrate from?
Born in Canada, grew up down under and came back to Canada.
I'm wondering why, now.
I hope people who work the trades get the right of way to move to Alberta.
Bring well over a million new people into the country in a year and only build 200,000 homes in the same year. What could go wrong? Our PM probably figured it would all balance itself out, like the budget.
Been working with a lot of immigrants and the ones who complain the most… tend to have the same mentality. They apply for every social assistance program possible, they are very demanding, and often live outside of their means. Buying expensive cars and traveling often. My family immigrated here in the 90’s as refugees and both my parents worked hard. They never took out any handouts. If you need it, get it. The big difference is the mentality. Most of my parent’s friends were the same. Came to Canada with the mentality to work hard and get a better life.
@JCasR3
Your 100% correct. 👌 By the way are you talking about the Brown Indians doing this or is it non-whites in general?
@@ElectroSharpTurtle All. Some of the Ukrainians I worked with were very challenging and aggressive. I get that they came with traumas, but average people aren’t equipped to handle that.
A little bit of good news this morning.
Bye
Trudeaus Canada baby! You get what you get when you vote!
good
For sure except waiting for PR students work permit and refugees
Nearly 40% of new immigrants thinking of moving due to Canada's high housing costs: poll
Good and hope you enjoy your new home...
I lowered my yearly cost of living to $3500 including everything. So I don't work, I do my hobbies, sailing, fishing, riding my CT 125 and seeing the world. All you have to do is to give up women to be able to.
Canada is screwd, leave while u can
Can't wait to leave this country
Bye!
Good we aren't letting in the best
No future
It's pretty sad what terrible management will do .. our politicians are completely out of touch and out to lunch
I didn't know politicians build houses.
@@bobwoods1302 Do politicians allow irresponsible immigration levels? Oh Bob.
Well we pay 45% tax give or take to get mediocre services and over paid public servants who achieve nothing.
Please leave.. shouldn’t have been here in the first place
New immigrants here. Making around 100000 CAD per year - it seems there are no perspectives for the future. Half of the income goes to rent and .. that's it, the dead end. It just doesn't make any sence
Has everyone lost their mind?
Why do you think housing is so expensive?
Supply and demand!
Wake the F up!!!
Done.
Demand was artifically inflated by imposing 20% more economic migrants all of a sudden and requiring that they have at least one 15 to 17 year old child from 2012 to 2017.
Harper's fault supply is missing and demand is high, while his protege Pierre, blames the Liberals, who share blame, but are not to blame.
Canada good days are over and will take 30 or 40 years to recover, if can recover.
Wages and industries are not keeping up when stacked on a global scale. North America in general has fallen far behind.
