    As a Brazilian living in Canada, I can say that if you go Brazil. Yes, you'll never be considered brazilians but you'll be well received and accepted of part of society as many other foreigners are. If I can say one positive thing about my country, is our unmatched hospitality, especially with "gringos"

    It is not just about job opportunities. It is about social freedom and personal liberty. I was in Canada years back and was having a good time with some locals having a few drinks and friendly conversation. But when the conversation turned to a controversial topic, everyone instantly clammed up. Not with the Americans, we just kept stating our opinions, but with the Canadians. You could see the anxiety and worry in theirs eyes.......like someone just might be listening. That told me everything I needed to know about Canada.

      Go to the resources extraction areas of Canada working class areas.. opinions sometimes ended up in fist fights but nobody ever pulled out a knife or gun. I worked in the mines of Northern Ontario Sudbury, Timmins etc but I am a Newfoundlander. I got in fist fights with Finn's, Ukraines, Serbs, Romaines, Russians, Germans, Quebecoise you name it but here's the kicker we all worked together underground and watched out for each other and were friends. It wasn't hard to find enough people to help you move or anything like that.. You got more respect if you backed up your mouth with your fists.. I guess it's was the job and testosterone plus alot of ex soldiers.

      @@MakeThatChange I was just a kid and he died when I was nine years old; so I got most of the story second-hand later. Mainly I think his premise was that the Germans who valued freedom and could afford it, left; and the ones who didn't mind a certain amount of tyranny and oppression--and/or couldn't afford it--stayed in Germany, perhaps with a bit of residual animosity toward those who had left; but they were still highly competent technically, and susceptible to a charismatic leader.
      My grandmother's particular group left during the political unrest and confusion right after the "Paris Revolutions" of 1848, a time of great tension in Europe generally. Another branch came in the 1870's. They all settled in South-central Texas, where the German influence is still apparent today.
      Quite recently I read on some other blog that Hitler may have felt the same way: that too many "good" Germans had emigrated in the 1800's, and he didn't have much left to work with (reference unfortunately unavailable). Perhaps he did believe that, but if so, he decided to go ahead with his plans and the resources he had, anyway.

    Thank you for the video! We moved to Canada in 2001 and I have to disagree with many of your comments. Starting in Canada now, especially in Toronto and Vancouver is incredibly difficult and expensive. You should mettion cost of living going through the roof, cost of housing doubling and even tripling in some areas... How about the salaries? Oh well, it did not increase much (except for minimum salary). Most of young Canadians will never be able to afford thereir own place, and I am not taking about detached house. Buying a small condo is already out of reach for many. Interprovincial immigration is at all time high - people moving away from Ontario, Quebec and BC. And we are one of those people. So, yes, Canada is still good option compare to third world countries, however it is no longer land of opportunities as it was even 10 years ago... Everyone tells their own story. Good luck!

      Thank you! We are not ignoring these issues, we’ve made plenty of videos on the topic. At the same time we don’t just want to make negative content - it has no use beyond creating negative emotions, and there’s enough of these on the internet already, we ultimately strive to inspire and motivate. We believe a happy life is not built on pessimism and negativity, it’s built on pragmatic optimism, and that’s what we aspire to bring to the world.
      Whether or not it happens in Canada or elsewhere - is another question!

    In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become the North Korea of the western world.
    There are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.

    The United States is very diverse. Not all ethnic groups are found everywhere in the country, however. Certain ethnic groups are inclined to live in certain areas. You would have to travel to the US more to understand. Perhaps you haven’t been to New York City yet. I think Canada pushes for immigration, but the US stays neutral on the topic. It’s not to say the US doesn’t welcome immigrants. Immigrants to the US come from all over, but a few countries dominate the source of immigration. The Canadian government simply encourages it for economic and population growth. Immigrants to Canada come from every country and it’s hard to say which group is dominant. That is probably why you saw less diversity in the US. If you were to visit the US again, don’t be afraid to tell people you have moved to Canada from Russia and you can speak Russian. People will find that interesting. Just like anywhere else, we find the knowledge of multiple languages cool.

      @@MakeThatChange, that study is flawed. From the study.
      “It's important to note that the goal of Gören's study was not to construct a list of the most racially diverse countries, but to identify the most culturally diverse nations. As such, the study de-emphasizes race (which many modern ethnologists argue is a social construct, not a genetic one) and instead prioritized differences in culture from one group of people to another.
      This methodology is important when examining countries such as Brazil. The country's population includes a diverse range of races-however, because virtually all Brazilians of any race speak Portuguese as their primary language, Gören surmised their culture had also become fairly homogenized and ranked Brazil as one of the least culturally diverse.”

      A few tips:
      - watch our videos about how to build a resume, this should help with tightening up your resume
      - take advantage of free newcomer services, they’re available in every major city. It’s a good way to meet other newcomers and get more job advice. Check out YMCA
      - engage in meetups - attend events(many are fresh) in your hobbies. Use Eventbrite or Meetup.com to find events that interest you. It’s a good way to meet people who are into the same interests as you are

As it seems likely that Cyprus will remain outside the Schengen zone for some time, this makes it especially attractive for third country nationals in the EU. Remote workers, nomads etc can spend 90 days in Cyprus to “refresh “ their Schengen time. This can be good for the local economy but if many remote workers are attracted to Cyprus, taking advantage of geo arbitrage , it could serve to drive rental prices up making it less accessible and affordable for local residents.
