Every time i hear "LABOUR SHORTAGES" my blood boils. I was trained in several fields and 6 years of college and employers don't care, they want someone who already has 5 years of experience. There is no labour shortage, there is an ethical employment shortage.
Absolutely. Bachelor's and Masters Degree and over 8 years of office experience and I can't even land a foot in the door admin job.
Employers are delusional.
for real! Not only is the industry I graduated into at an all time low, many of my classmates are struggling just to find any work in general. Even trying to get multiple jobs is difficult because lots of part time places don't want to compete for your hours with another store. They all want adults that can somehow manage to live on 16/h and only work weekends.
So they have to take you cause you did school?
Are you stoned?! They take you if they want, not their fault you went to school and now in debt.
At least blame them for faults of theirs, not faults of yours.
@@leechrecThey want free slaves.
How are we supposed to help immigrants when we can't even help Canadians
Even immigrants are being hurt by this. How do you think they are supposed to find housing or jobs? I support immigration, but they also need a decent chance to start. Even now many would be immigrants are shunning canada because of cost of living from what I heard.
We don’t need immigrants. They aren’t making anything better.
@abcdedfg8340 lol I don't feel bad for them, they should stay in their home country instead of coming here when we have housing problems already and they only add to it and make it worse. Sorry, I care about Canadians who've been here forever or for generations more than some idiots who don't even love where they come from enough to stay and try to make it better, why should canada love them? They've proven they aren't patriotic. Lol.
Canada is a nursing home... the immigrants are there only to help Canada. Canada is not helping them.
what you are see is a rider (brushing down the horse ) before he rides🐎🏇 it for 5000 miles.
[🦫🇨🇦🍁] There is no such thing as "free lunch" and immigrants learn that once they move to the WEST or Canada.
In their own country they dont work as hard to OWN as they do in 🇨🇦 Canada to RENT their lives.

😂😂😂😂😂 such dream which will not become reality
@@jsr5773 So what is to be done?
Cost of living is way too high in Cnd
They won’t sorry
And affordable
High numbers of Canadians are also fleeing immigrant centres in Canada for more affordable housing, lower congestion, crime and declining quality of life. It seems our developer / speculator focused immigration policy can't make anyone happy except developers and speculators. And bought politicians and journalists.
Truth. I have struggled here for so long. There is a total lack of account
ability about how immigrants are treated.
Like were!? Especially the corrupt politian part, I feel like fulfilling my daughter's wish for her own unicorn would be a much more realistic wish
Canada has super low crime rates, that doesn't factor.
They're trying hard to replace our culture here. The small hat tribe wants to see whites burned and browns put in instead. Only problem is both browns and whites are now fleeing the country.
@dysonforbes
Crime rates go up with the increase of third world immigration , everybody knows that !
You import the third world , you become the third world .
Our current government is so out of touch with reality and Canada. Governing from atop an ivory tower.
It's not just his government, it's all of them. That's why we go through governments in Canada like tissues.
Not an ivory tower but a trust fund and a family foundation that receives donations from various sources.

@@peggymcniff996 Trudeau is a privileged drama teacher. Poilievre is a career politician. What you’re saying is you’d rather have someone that was a coal miner for 10 years then decided to start doing heart surgery on you, rather than a doctor with 10 years surgery experience but maybe just hasn’t performed heart surgery yet. In this case heart surgery is a metaphor for being prime minister.
Canada wants young qualified immigrants who would do small jobs and pay heavy taxes to pay for the sick and ageing Canadian population, and themselves remain in perpetual poverty, without owning a house or caught in a merciless mortgage payment system. Many immigrants are not choosing to sacrifice their lives for that.
Who blames them
i tell new immigrants all the time, if it wasn't because of war or famine, you were better off where U were.
U can grow your own food, build a shelter n not have too much guv interference in most cases n U won't be owned, in most cases.
the canada that the canadian guv has made for themselves n No one else is a Trap; once here, ya slowly learn that.........the Canada that was no longer exists.
Hopefully they all leave👍
only suckers are dumb enough to come to Canada still no person in any type of skilled field would come here over the USA. pay in Canada across the board is lower in every sector then it is just over the boarder.
Bye bye 👋
How about making life affordable for the Canadians who were born here?
ahmen
Let's look after the real Canadians that live here 12 months of the year. Not those that live somewhere else and just use Canada as safe place when the crap hits the fan in the middle east and else where. Then Canada has to go and bring them back at Canadians expense. Canada doesn't need anymore fair weather Canadians ducking and sucking from Canada taking all they can and doing nothing in return.
Because the government doesn’t want you here. Your standards are too high.
@@weskridge bingo

Canada needs more immigrants to build more homes ?
Presumably to house all these new immigrants .
Only in the government does that make sense !
So true.
ponzi..
Canada also needs to diversify its skill set. Canada needs a lot less of the worthless types of university degrees and a lot more skills.
Yes 110%!
Skills won’t do much right now .!! We’re in a recession and even if you have a trade there’s no point

@@tedlivermore6955 lol not the builders I sub for ..!! Who qualifies for mortgages right now ..??
Canada cannot be all things to all peoples. Immigrants have their own needs and priorities that they will seek other avenues/countries to satisfy. We should do what we can to get our own house in order. Once that is done, the decision to come to Canada will follow.
Imho, a superb analysis. Well done.
And if current Canadians find it too expensive and hard to have children here, new immigrants will act the same way one they arrive into the same financial climate. Just let normal Canadians afford family life!!!
@@kjw79Yes I agree. All these problems would solve themselves if the government stopped 'helping' with all these dumb policies and high taxes
To be honest, ministry of poverty ‘reduction’ is more apt to be call ‘poverty retention’ on welfare you can’t make more than 900 a month, or you get kicked off the income assistance. If you forget your paperwork one month, no cheque ready and you can become homeless
Only that’s a joke, to think you could find a house for nine hundred in this day and age, forget about food….. foodbank give out food too bad to eat often, or uncooked food that if your living on the street and they give you random ingredient, three milk cartons and a torn bag and your supposed to what- make something out of three mouldy onions and a tea bag ?
They just need cheap labour and more taxpayers. We need to vote different.
The Canadian way of dealing with issues: Throw money at it and bring more immigrants. in other words, provide a short term solution while creating a major long term issue.
Unfortunately, it’s the educated and hardworking, stable immigrants that are choosing to leave. It’s the criminals that are staying.
I work with many immigrants they're not criminals.
Yep, bingo
this 100%
🎯
Sad but true, just like in Sweden.
Ya, all we need is more immigrant’s. We can’t look after the ones we have now.
why are you "looking after" immigrants? I think I came here with enough money to "look after" myself lol. Delusional much. Oh you must be talking about the refugees from Ukraine, my bad
sure you can, Trudea will just raise taxes to help
Stupid politicians always putting the cart before the horse.
Lol...stay delusional
Immigrants don’t even want to be here lol no need to worry .
So Canada need new immigrants to build more houses to deal with the housing shortage caused by too many immigrants.
Crazy
Well immigration isn't the only cause, it's just one factor (there are quite a few others). Also it's not just labour costs but materials that have gotten really expensive.
The boomers inflated the real estate prices but let's blame the immigrants who were brought in to finance the boomer's retirement funds am I right LOL

Sky high taxes, low wages, sky high cost of living, most foreign education isn't recognized, far too much immigration causing problems finding jobs that pay a wage you can survive on let alone live on.

No wonder! Who in hell can afford a home or rent in Canada on minimum wage?
True, but who puts on the minimum wage? businesses. All they care about is bottom line for themselves.
Nobody. Not for a few generations now.
@@crushingvanessa3277 The government has the ability to set minimum wage. They don't. Things are a bit better in Ontario, but that's not across the board and even then it's not keeping up with the cost of living.
NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BUY OR RENT A HOME ON MINIMUM WAGE. Minimum wage was never supposed to support a lifestyle, even for a single individual, let alone a family. Minimum wage jobs are a starting point only.
There should be NO SUCH THING AS MINIMUM WAGE. Minimum wage should be whatever the employer and the employee agree upon. Trust me, if there is a labour shortage out there, the market forces of competition will certainly force the employers to raise their offers.
Canadian born and raised nurse who trained in Germany. Won’t let me work in my home country because apparently the German standard of nursing isn’t on par. Funnily enough my mum trained at the same school as I did but came to Canada under Harper. Was allowed to start work straight away and is now in high acuity and teaching nursing students.
That's liberal bureaucracy for ya, Canada barely had enough nurses to begin with then the govt tries to force the vax on them half quit,half are fired then nurses trained outside of Canada don't get their credentials recognized then the gov't doesn't understand why there's a shortage...btw I love our nurses thank you for all you do.
it's a provincial nurse order and not a federal problem
Will also keep the $150/hr temp. nursing agencies in business and payoffs to prov. politicians in place ?
Lol 😅 looks like Germany seems better for you😊
And there my friend is the difference. The current Government doesn't have a clue how to operate properly.
Don't blame a bunch of them for leaving or threatening to leave. Our country has gone to crap.

@@luannecorlett4683explain what is then??
I want to leave too, but I'm stuck. No one can afford to live here and everything costs almost 20% in a year.
The pandemic is responsible for a huge labour loss and competition drives up prices. If no one wanted to live there prices would crash.
Come to the states, you’ll be struggling here too 😂
Maybe learn English, you'll do better
houses here are 400% salary, in america is 110% while you also make 20% more on average... we will be prosperous in USA@@niavellir7408
@niavellir7408 No thanks. It's bad enough here, but at least I can see my doctor
The Price of living is sad in Canada.
Qualified immigrants & Canadians are leaving. Refugees and unqualified immigrants/students are flooding in. That's actually one of the reasons for emigration. Thats actually one of the main reasons for almost all of the problems here right now.
If govt were to underwrite relevant employment for half of all those under-employed foreign professionals, at half pay (under supervision if necessary) for one year, I'm pretty sure many would be retained after the trial, and the economy would see a significant boost.
Let them sleep on the streets. The taxpayers shouldn't be responsible for freeloaders.
Its called an immigration ponzi scheme for a reason. The points system favours those with assets/savings that can be used to prop up housing rents and consumption based businesses.
BINGO! and let's not forget, the big part is sucking up all the money from these immigrants and leaving them with nothing after they are forced to leave the country due to unaffordability.
Depends on the category. For skilled workers, they don't care about your net worth.
@@hello855Skilled workers usually have savings
Very smart analysis!
We don’t need all these extra Tim
Hortons workers. We need health care professionals and construction workers.
No extra IT workers, Uber drivers etc.
Exactly! That's all we ever get. Actual professionals would add skills to our workforce.
Most professionals are going to the states
@@lancelange9377😅Surprisingly, that's exactly what you get! And then hastily dispatch them (actual, experienced professionals) to Tim's, McD's and yellow cabs. If you ever look at resumes of some of these folks, you might not believe it. But they lack that golden thread weaved into it, called 'Canadian Experience.' And no immigrant, even the type you wish for, would come with that.
@@lancelange9377 The problem is that their foreign degrees, licenses, and experiences aren't recognized here. When it's too difficult to find a job in their field, they flock to low skill positions. There's practically no way to bring professionals here unless employers are willing to change their standards... which are also difficult for Canadians.
To build more homes? Who is buying this homes if we can not afford them?
Blackrock vanguard wealthy middle eastern folks and wealthy Asians
The investor class. People's homes are an important asset. They'll keep it empty (or rent it) for a few years and sell it later for a nice profit. It's like crypto. The migrants play two roles here: cheaper labor and also a pressure on housing prices. Knowing who benefits from increased migration also clarifies why all parties are for it.
I know of two families that are leaving now that they got their passports, "Canada is just not worth it" taxes are too high, pay is too low and home cost way too much
Where are they moving to?
That’s true, Canada it’s a beautiful country but the cost of living is too high… I didn’t want to spend most of my live working and not be able to afford an apartment
After 40 years in Canada, I really wish I could leave. The health care, especially emergency departments, are shameful and inhumane. It’s a place to die really, not to get better!! And I agree with all other points mentioned here!!
our walk in clinicks doctors??????they google everything.
True. Its a place to just work, pay taxes, get depressed in winter, and die before you get to retire and get any of your money back to enjoy lol. After 31 years I am planning to move to the middle east with my family.
@@jannalam6861 - Strange how we get so many immigrants from the Middle East.
You can. You can leave any time you want to. Where are you going to find that’s better? You can’t just randomly move to a Nordic country with a higher published level of societal happiness. They actually have language requirements.
Feel free to grant your own wish. You’re clearly not improving things here. Bye now.

"Labor shortage"? 🤨 Um, no, there's no labor shortage, companies simply don't want to hire citizens because they'd have to pay them a livable wage; they'd rather just hire immigrants so they can pay them less and act like they're doing them a favor.
How can you have 3 income streams coming in and still cant afford to BUY a house, ONLY RENT😥😥😥Ontario Right Now
So misleading! Why not also point out the income of the immigrants that are leaving and those that stay. The ones that are leaving are the one that actually contribute to our economy/society who can afford to simply pack up and leave. The ones who stay are using Canadas social systems without contributing enough to compensate their usage of taxpayer resources. By stats Canadas own data they use no less than 4 social services to get by (which does not include healthcare or education resources).
Which social services? In fact can you provide a source that the ones leaving are those who are well off because the report this is based on does not mention any of that.
Do you have a source for this? The stats Canada thing, I mean? Thanks!
Thats exactly right. Brain drain causing a death spiral in poor services and tax base. Canada is definitely attempting a quantity over quality strategy, which will have predictable results.
Stats Canada hasn't been properly updated since 2016/2021 It says 2023 but then you click on population of a town and you can see the stats used from that town (not all but some) come from stats in 2016.(which were added to the 2021 stats) For example many towns in BC have not done a census since 2016. So stats Canada still uses those stats to update the Canadian stats. The ones that can afford to leave probably have not been able to find a job reflecting their skill set so a doctor or teacher doesn't exactly want to work in a grocery store or as a carpenter. And at a certain age or with the years experience they have they don't exactly want to get into debt going back to 4 or 5 years of school. Or even 2 years of school, why should they when their credentials get recognized easily elsewhere.
Too cold !!
We flood the market with cheap labour keeping salaries low and high cost of living.
Maybe reduce immigration and see if that solves the problem.
Right! And those high paid experts will do cheap labor? What about trying to fix the house shortage?

I don't blame immigrants for leaving - they are making logical decisions based on the costs of being here exceeding the benefits. Ultimately, this will be damaging as we will lose the immigrants with skills that can contribute to society. The ones that stay will be the unskilled, non-contributors that don't have options.
Absolutely correct!
actually, the most skilled would be the ones that stay since they can outcompete the unskilled

This is the best news I've heard in ages.
Even if you have degrees from another country, Canada doesnt recognize a lot of them and you are required to take courses over again by Canadian standards. The cost of living, the healthcare, and the wages which are very poor. Who can afford 2000. for rent when your wage in 20.per hour or lower. Trudeau is so out of touch, little rich boy that has no clue at all.
So why come here? You're welcome to stay home!
A medical doctor works as Uber. A pilot as baggage carrier PHD getting refused while the jobs are there. On top of that a taxation system ripe you off. So. No career no financial assets. Leaving is better.
Maybe they should be looking at a better educational system for Canadians. Where they’re actually teaching them how to achieve.
Maybe Canadians should do what previous generations did and take responsibility to build a life instead of being a victim because life isn't handed on a platter.

Many Canadians or Canadians who came decades ago are leaving this Banana Republic too. Even Ukrainians take chances and go back to a war zone. Liberals looked at Venezuela and said to themselves 'I'll have some of that' absolute disgrace
This is supposed to be BAD news? Canadians need to start having children to boost our numbers, not depend on immigration.
You're right but we'd have to ban feminism and reduce cost of living both things are ruining the country
Canadians aren't going to do that when they can't afford heat and food.
Absolutely agree!
So true and if the government concentrated on Canadian families and helping them, this would be a reality.
can't: poor, underpaid, no house, no car, no assets in general, single. yup.
This is not a bad thing, I miss the Canada of 10 years ago. It is unrealistic for immigrants to think that they can take a job away from a Canadian citizen. Ask yourself, as a Canadian in a foreign country, would I be treated as well as they are in Canada. In most cases, no.
I have been saying that for years. We would not receive any help from their country.

No one talks about the discrimination when immigrants go for job interviews. Employers will never admit and in theory it's against the law but it happens.
boo hoo, leave then.
@@tableshaper4076 I guess you're okay with immigrants driving Ubers.
when a Doctor drives Uber taxi,
It’s fuked😂😂😂😂
Wonderful news .
What's the point of staying ?
They can't afford to live here and their degrees and experience don't apply to Canadian jobs.
Labor shortage?? Don"t they mean "cheap" labor shortage?
Ethical employers shortage.
I'm one of the 'thanks but no thanks club' I enjoyed my 17 years in Canada but I struggled to see a longer future there. Life's not perfect in SE Asia but its cheap and sunny
I was born in Canada and looking at leaving.
Why are you still here? Leave! Bye! Don't come back! I am sure you can get a job sifting through the big garbage piles in Manila.
Where will you go?
please go
The Canadian government has not updated it's Stats so what New Comers see when they look up housing prices and labour market. It still reflects 2016. They never let those coming here know how difficult it is to get their credentials recognized or the lack of housing. So a Dentist or a Director from a University end up working at Super Store. Also, as soon as they arrive they are told these short certificates that they take will get them an excellent job when in reality it's a cash grab and they don't end up getting hired anywhere as the course and school is not recognized. Totally ripping them off. Basically we have set up a system where a nurse from another Country can't even become a care aid. Ridiculous how many road blocks there are. And then of course there's the lack of housing not just the price. (I am from BC so this is coming from a BC perspective)
Let's hope more leave so that 2nd and 3rd generation CANADIANS can actually afford housing
I wonder if refugees are deciding to leave.
Especially during the winter
Canada is on a downward spiral. Years of political inactions to solve or apprehend problems combine with a private sector that doesn't invest in innovations has led to the current situation.
This is why Canadians are so unproductive .!! What’s the point when you’re taxed 50%
Can’t say I blame them I’m 55 and Canadian all my life and I don’t even wanna be here. Freezing cold, high taxes, incompetent healthcare system. Bare minimum free healthcare, high cost of living, housing crisis, I can go on but if you’re Canadian, you already know these things. Best advice as a Canadian I can give somebody wanting to come here to start a life and career is ..look elsewhere.
More political carbon hacks, growing the civil service, and higher taxes will definitely help.
How do you think that?
@@williamrmitchell1960That's sarcasm. Its also how most ideologues think without realising it.
@@williamrmitchell1960 I follow the example of our beloved federal government. (It's sarcasm.)
Once the original package of government freebies ends and they have to support themselves, they are out of here. Big shock. In other news, water is wet.
correct!
And this is why archaeologists find lost civilizations .
They were taxed out of existence
I am Canadian, retired, living with disability but I can not afford to live in Canada so I moved to Bulgaria. Do I like it here ? No! What a way to be retired and forced to move out of the Country.
Why don't you move to Portugal, it's better over there.
No one wants to be poor by going to work I'm a framing carpenter and I will never A Afford tobuild a house for myself
The boat is drowning and the commandant is welcoming twice the capacity of the boat, even though the boat is already full
Immigrants yes, but from where, that is the important issue.
Perfect. Immigrants will benefit greatly by living anywhere but Canada. Theres countries out there offering free homes and land if you move there. Check it out !!!
Why would they stay? Crap jobs with little pay and taxed to death, and our healthcare, although free is broken.
Our healthcare isn't free. It's the reason we are taxed so much
@@conradmcdougall3629one of them.
My family moved to Canada and now I’m moving out. It’s because the idiots in Ottawa screwed up the whole country.
adios!
Bye. We’re full.
My colleague told me how he recently went to near Toronto Science Center were they use to live. Demography changed completely. He is Ukrainian/Jewish and he was so afraid in local Goodwill by how now locals looked at him, he has to leave. And despite anyone origin, our children have no future with Canada ripoff culture. It is much cheaper to send child to Europe for university than paying for so-so university in Toronto, with insane rental rates. One bedroom apartment in German/Belgium is twice less to rent than in Toronto.
Lots of construction workers have been laid off for months because builders aren’t building with these high interest rates. They news will say shortage of workers but that’s not the case
It is impossible to live comfortable anymore in Canada with all these prices rises. And Canada is still doing it to make it even higher.
I don't know why it's always about immigration numbers. But not about how to actually ensure there's a possibility for these immigrants to be successful. You sacrifice a lot to come to Canada. And many don't have the option to leave because they have used up their savings to try and make it in Canada.
So true
The government doesn't care if the citizens that were born here are successful. Why would they care about whether or not immigrants or successful?
Noone can afford the cost of living here.
There is no labor shortages at all. Businesses just don't want to pay decent wages like in Australia.
Arbitrary migration targets are simultaneously increasing demand and suppressing wage growth. There are better ways to control immigration. I would suggest demand based approach with some guard rails in place. For instance, I would require all educational institutions to provide housing for international student (at least 50%). Businesses should be required to provide accommodation to all temporary/seasonal workers on top of the minimum wage. In order to hire foreigners employers should be required to prove that he is paying enough to afford housing in the region (market cost of accommodation is less than 30% of salary). Accommodation for refugees should be secured before bringing them to the country from around the globe. No accommodation = no permits. It would limit demand and prevent wage suppression.
I’m voting for you
They’ve been talking about this for ages. They keep on recruiting highly skilled, highly educated individuals only to make their experiences worst. Working in low level jobs, demanding them to fill the labour gaps that nobody wants to perform. Oh my Canada, let me say adieu.
I got here with my wife less than a year ago. My employer doesn't pay what is stated on my work contract. I think there's a lot of abuse from employers on immigrants coming in on closed work permits. The reason we've stayed is because we've invested a lot of time and effort into getting here just to give up easily. Had we known it would be like this, we would have probably not come. Mind you, not all employers are like this, I just happened to run into bad luck. I know of other cases in which this happens and it's infuriating. My wife is a nurse and cant work here as one due to restrictions in her work permit. I guess there's no demand in the healthcare industry here...
Health care system is a joke in this country and there's a shortage of professionals... the artificial "requirements" to enter the healthcare industry do not benefit anybody ... I would rather not wait for 7 months just to get an EEG which is unfortunately the way things are right now.
Have you reported your employer?
If you are not being treated well you may be given the option to get an open work permit. Talk to an immigration consultant about your options if you're not able to do the research yourself.
Why do we need a 45 yr old mother of 5 from the Philippines to come and make sandwiches at Subway. I mean if free market means a Canadian can open a franchise however their staff is hired by foreign workers. Then this is not capitalism working for Canadians.
The immigration Ponzi scheme lures migrants to Canada without enough affordable housing to accommodate them. This drives up housing costs for Canadians already here. At the same time, the flood of cheap labour reduces wages making housing even more unaffordable. Moreover, a flood of cheap labour hampers the transition to higher value added businesses by encouraging lower value businesses, thus further limiting income growth. Productivity growth is the an essential way forward to affordable housing. The answer is to stem the flood of migrants until rising wages meets lower housing costs. Also, Canada needs to lower its overall population if it is serious limiting its carbon footprint in this cold climate with long distances between cities. Higher productivity with higher wages meets lower housing demand caused by limiting immigration!
