Native Canadian here. I came back after 25 years and Canada has change not for the best. Salaries are no longer enough to provide a decent living. Housing is ridiculously expensive. Violence is a lot more prevalent. Canada is going in the wrong direction and part of it is unrealistic mass immigration.
This house needs some renos
A question if you are native - how do you manage the cognitive dissonance of a government that claims to care for indigenous rights while bringing in millions of foreigners who know nothing about native issues and couldn't care less.
The government wants more "desposables", quality of living was never its goal
Well said redMaple
Everyone seems to be unhappy in Canada right now. I do not understand why so many Indians, particularly Punjabis, seem to think moving here is a good idea...it's just dead end jobs and lack of a future
Let's understand the profile of people moving from Punjab to Canada. No properly educated person wants to move to Canada.
also you could move to us after getting canadian sitizenship. for me it's like 50% of motivation to move to canada
Punjabis are skilled and hard working people. So it is much easier for them to earn big money in Canadađ. Are you homeless?
It depends... some Punjabis are quite well off here in Canada
@@gurindersingh563 I see so many Punjabis driving trucks and Uber. Does that man skilled for you? No one in the technology sector
I moved to Canada as a single young man ( Edmonton )last year. I was doing not bad in my home country ( 3rd world ). I came to try to find a better future and a better country to raise a family, but I was all wrong. Iâm working on 16.5$/hour pre tax, with barely paying rent, food, transportation and mobile data. Iâve been insulted 3 times during this year on transit by homeless and addicts that Iâve never met without any reason . One of them spit at me, one slapped me and one pulled a knife at me. I literally never met them and didnât even look at them. Iâve even saw people for 3 times shit on the bus and LRT.There is no career development in this country, youâll just keep on living from paycheck to paycheck with 0 savings. I go to work and get back home, I donât go out because there is nothing to do especially in harsh winters, i ended up taking anti-stress pills. Iâm really disappointed with Canada and Iâm leaving tomorrow for good on a one way ticket, there is no way to come back. Itâs just the opposite of what is promoted about this country. Itâs very expensive, a lot of people are homeless and addicts that could hurt you randomly, depressing weather with 0 social life and no career development. What a waste of money and time. My country which is a 3rd world country is way safer, enthusiastic and vital than Canada. The country is busy focusing on decriminalizing drugs and homosexuality rather than making it a good place for families and providing a good education for children.
Which country are you from? I wondering which countries are better than Canada and that are more in-line with your home country?
He is from Syria
@@robo1989 nah, from Lebanon đąđ§
Canada is a beautiful place full stop đ
I like this "Canada is a beautiful place full stop" :)
Canada is experiencing a concerning decline, with diminishing justice, a rise in homelessness, increasing fatalities, the legalization of illegal substances, fading faith, support for criminals, and the devastating impact of Mother Nature.
Free Masons satanic worship cult is finally taking full grip
Sounds so negative!!
Also decline in medical facilities
â@@ImCanadaCanada, US, UK, Australia, Netherlands, Germany and Scandinavia are the modern Sodoma and Gomorrah.
Well said it
Jobs are paying too little, taxes are too high and 60 to 80% of your income goes to rent and car insurance regardless if you live in a basement or a high rise, rent will still be expensive. We are paying way too much for everything and goverment its kipping mayority of the money along with property developers. Eventually this will be an undesire place to live and people will choose other places in the world.
For some people it will always be desirable
If it keeps going the way it is more people will leave, and won't want to come here. There are many videos of people disappointed with Canada that are leaving or planning to leave.
Well then sell your car and you'll see that you will be saving hell of a lot more money, and no worries you wont die if you dont have a car ;)
High taxes are for the ones who earns more, but tell me which country that works doesnt have this system? The more you earn the more your pay, it's simple.
I only understand you on rent, it just sucks.
@@ddaniel987xtransit is trash. My work is a 10 minute drive and if I were to take a bus it would take me 1hr and 54 mins
@@jamesabar207 Then buy a bike/scooter or better yet e bike/scooter! I dont think you'll take almost 2 hours if you use it despite you might take just a bit more than car.
Yes, Canada needs more desperate people to work for low wages. If Canadians arenât willing, then people must be imported from other countries..
Couldn't have said it better!
I think we need to introduce the slave trading that may be the solution
@@preetindersingh2884 it's already happening!! Immigration in Canada is to benefit the rich in this country!
You have a point though
I don't understand why authorities don't see the number of non working restaurants in Peel region. They are nothing but source of LIMAs
What we need is
1. Only quality immigration
2. No Asylums
3. Make giving birth and raising a kid cheaper by supporting the young couples during that time for atleast 4 years
4. Improve quality of education, I am from India and I immigrated as a part of express entry wherein I had to prove my 19 years of work experience with the top international brands, provide proof of a considerable bank balance however if I was 20 years old and was not able to qualify for higher education in India, I would just pay Canadian university fee and take higher education here as the education system here is pathetic
Silent racism and discrimination is almost equal to anywhere else in Canada but worst is that because there are less opportunities in Canada which makes the impact huge and worse than anywhere else.
True...
@@ImCanada I wish if someone could just come and resolve all the issues which are increasing rather worsening day by day but now I hv reached to the conclusion tht its not gonna happen atleast in current decade so its better to move out.
What are they talking about, Asia is the most racist continent on earth. Have you been, tried to get the job or lived there? Western is the least racist culture in the history of the universe, to the point of annihilation.
â@@bigbarry8343true
Because they have brought in a big mass immigrants the racism gets worse because itâs people from different countries that donât agree with other people from other countries
Just came back from a 6 month trip to Canada by van. Explored roughly 50 cities and towns across BC & Alberta during my trip and I was shocked by the state of facilities in Canada. It's extremely remote and at times sketchy. The cost of living there is ridiculous and tipping culture really is a tax in disguise. The Canada I experienced seems to be falling apart. Everything feels like a pain point to interact with like the ICBC. Thank goodness I live in Australia. My partner who is Japanese was shocked by the living standards there, she was supposed to get her PR VISA but realised how much better her quality of life is as a middle class in Japan. I was supposed to work there for two years but no way after my experiences interacting with the system and sketchiness.
As a life long Canadian citizen, your assesment is bang on. Canada was a great country back in the day. Sadly it has fallen on hard times. I chose to leave, with no plans to return!
@ImCanada Max, we need your positive comment down here!
I believe this depends on your expectations and what you define by good living standards
@@ImCanada đ¤Ą
While it's true that Canada is experiencing the same issues with expensive housing and inflation as most other countries, Canada does use immigration to prop up the economy since Canadians are not having as many children because it's expensive. So immigration is a form of wage suppression, because without it employers would be forced to pay a living wage sufficient to have children, particularly in the service industries that cannot be outsourced. However Canada circumvent this by using TFWs and mass immigration, using the adage "If you don't want this job, someone else will!". What propelled the problem was lack of supply of housing for all these people.
Furthermore, Canada is a very socialized country. There is a breathtaking amount of people that are living off social income and are quite capable of working, or use the EI system and seasonal work. I don't blame these people as lazy, they are smart. The problem is there is a trap, if you leave the social programs, the wages pay nothing , you have no benifits..so why do it? Why work? It literally will cost you more to work then to get off social programs, unless you can propagate to a high paying job and that's unlikely to happen. And all this of this needs to be payed for....by immigrants.
Yes, you have a point
They are not "smart" they are lazy non-contributors and we DO NOT WANT THEM. Come here, work your way up, make money pay taxes help your community. If you don't want to do that do not come here.
As for social welfare, I would also add the burden of people and organisations who live off dispensing welfare to direct recipients. Their remuneration can be quite lavish.
I moved to Canada when I was a teenager, when my parents moved here from Western Europe. I have seen Canada change radically in the last 20 years. It used to be a nice and safe country, with friendly people and decent living conditions. Its no longer the case. Big Canadian cities have become quite dangerous, the social climate has become horrifying, our politics have aligned with Americans it seems. Another thing I notice is a lot of immigrants don't seem to adhere to the values of tolerance toward LGBT people, and while it's illegal to be against LGBT officially, I start to hear a lot of immigrants being against the LGBT when you are not in an official setting.
So I think we are heading toward interesting times, because the different cultures living in Canada could eventually clash, and I am not talking about White Supremacy here, but more different communities against each other. So while I am not moving back to Europe, because my life is in Canada, I would have to advise immigrants to think twice before moving to Canada. It's a very expensive country to live in, houses are unaffordable, public schools are not what they used to be,healthcare, while being financed by our taxes is subpar, and the amount of low paying jobs that require 5 years experience is just wild. The weather is also not great, and taxes are very high for the kind of services you get.
I got lucky that I made the right moves a few years ago (bought a condo, kept it for 4 years, sold it, made a ton of cash, bought a house, and I have some savings) but I also acknowledge I got very lucky, and a lot of my Canadian friends who were born here were not so lucky. I am not saying you can't make it in Canada, but Canada still coasts on its 20th century reputation. Except its not quite the same country anymore, for better or worse. Just be aware of that when you think about moving to Canada. It's not a paradise, and it's not hell either. It's a country that still has a high standard of living, but when you have been here for awhile, you see a lot of the official government marketing is losing its shine. Just make an informed decision if you decide to move here, that's all.
Yes, I'm gay and married to an American spouse we applied for immigration to Canada we are still stucked in the immigration process for couple of years now without any response from the IRCC. My spouse doesn't have any problem to move to Canada because he's American, the real issue exists with me because I'm half Egyptian and half Turkish.
@@mahmutalkhuiski9026 I hope you will get your papers at some point soon sir!
Good input, so it's now in our hands to shape the way this country is built
Muslim immigrants?
Whether you stay or leave canada ask god let him decide for you like noah ark because if yourself decision fail no one to blame
Affordability is a choice between simplicity and luxury.
Corporatocracy , crime rates, broken healthcare system, corruption is what makes this country dying.
Respect to the older generations hereâ¤
I like the first sentence đ
It's not. Living with 10 people in the house and normalizing this life that some had in 10th world countries is lowering the standards for everyone. Canada needs to put a natinality quota like the US and only accept the high quality immigrants from all national backgrounds balancedly. Else it will be the new india.
@@user-mi6pq2uu9s Spot on , the US used to have a diversity visa program where more priority is given to under represented back grounds coming to the country. In Canada ,it is about about buying the ethnic vote through immigration favors'.
In my experience, Crab mentality is terrible in Canada. They call it systemic discrimination.
?
Canadians are very passive aggressive by nature .
True though, deep down I always feel like I canât find the job I love because a recruiter -unconsciously- doesnât like my name so they UNCONSCIOUSLY trash my resume :(
9 out of 10 recruiters in UK are foreign, typically Indian or Pakistani. Is it really that different in Canada?
@@bigbarry8343no
Now understand this. The entire Khalistani movement is supported by ISI, that's how these people who are happy driving taxis make enough money to come to Canada in the first place. We don't want them back. We couldn't care less. Do what you want with them, you won't see a single true Indian person crying for them... Our government has asked Trudeau government to take strict actions against these people, but he refuses to take any action. So, even our government won't interfere if you lock them up, or worse. I'm only giving a piece of advice, take it or leave it it's upto you.
Also, India didn't send them there, ISI did. Just to make it clear. The same ISI that sent Taliban into Afghanistan.
I saw your demographic figures, you still got it. It's still not too late. Stay strong Canada. We're with you, we just don't like Trudeau though. Sorry. He's been meddling with development of our country too much.

there you go
Visit Surrey BC sometime and you will see Khalistani separatist symbolism everywhere. Read up on the Air India bombing which is the worst mass killing in Canadian history. That said as a Western Canadian separatist I am somewhat sympathetic to the fact that many Sikhs would rather have their own independent nation than to live in India, but I do not condone their methods they have employed in their attempts to do so.
@@mantistobogganmd6580 good. give them canadian land to make khalistan there đđ
I landed in 2018, and I live and work in Toronto. To be honest, I'm thinking of leaving Canada in the next few years. You don't make enough money to save and live comfortably. I live in a basement apartment, but it's not enough, and most good white-collar jobs are in Toronto.
I hope it all works out in the best way possible!
Housing and the cost of living is extremely expensive in Canada. There will be a retirement crisis for generations in Canada.
There might be
there will be 100%
I would go back to India. Probably, start my own business from that money instead of buying liability for myself. I am definitely leaving Canada that's for sure.
I'm happy you know what's the best for you
Best decision. Canada wants immigrants to work low paying jobs to generate income taxes and prop up the artificial real estate. I'm moving out after living here for 8 yrs.
It is good you invest in business in india and after sometimes you can buy good house
India is avery broad word. Each state is vastly different.Which State do you want to go back to?
Canada is not just Vancouver or Toronto, 2 of the most expensive cities in the world.
There are other much more affordable big cities, Calgary and Winnipeg come to mind. When I first moved to Canada, I lived in Fredericton while doing school to keep my cost of living down which was cheaper than back home. If you try to love on $1000 a week in one of the most expensive cities in the world... yea home ownership is out of reach. But if you moved to Alberta or SK or WPG, or NB then suddenly you can afford a nice sized home and a great life.
Now I live in Alberta with a massive home on 80 acres and its MUCH cheaper than apartments in Vancouver..
I wouldn't expect to buy a home in London/New York/Milan/Tokyo etc on $1000cad a week, nor Vancouver or Toronto
Great point!
Problem is all those places don't have high tech jobs, especially when Canada is interested in pulling skilled talent especially from US where Chinese/Indian professionals see decades of wait for green card.
What you say is reasonably good for someone say coming as refugee or an immigrant working on non tech jobs. For instance, if you have done master's in machine learning/computer vision and have worked for 5 or 6 years in that area, does it makes sense to come to Winnipeg or Alberta and drive Uber or work at walmart. No harm in that, but that destroys Canada own purpose of brinign skilled labor. In US, such person can find job in every major city in his/her area of expertise, they don't have to live in California or NYC. But same is not true in Canada, tech jobs are concentrated in Toronto/Vancouver. I myself live in Ottawa but tech market is very small here.
Many of my friends feel stuck in US, they are highly educated people. Many of them even had Canadian PR had a point, but either they did not move to Canada or moved to Canada and then moved back to US, because its too expensive and not much cities to pick from in tech.
@@rohanbansal9563 what about working remote?
@@rafae5902 most companies are moving back to hybrid now. Few days in office and few days at work. Buying a house is a big decision, you don't want to buy a house in Calgary or Winnipeg to realize your company in Toronto wants you to do 2 days/week in office. And realize there are no high tech jobs in Calgary or Winnipeg.
Also, these two places are known for hostile weather. Few of my friends moved from California to Texas and North Carolina during covid as mortgage is less there. When companies started to call back, they found jobs in Texas and NC. Same is not applicable in Canada
@@pk9436 I work remote for a tech company, works great. this is the same issue guys face when they live in New York or LA
The solution can be giving incentives to people to build their businesses outside big cities in order to spread out job opportunities for smaller communities
Good idea
Yes m also agree about this.
We hv to build more cities in canada
That almost RCMP chick is delusional. âLive in a basement, donât eat out in restaurants.â OkkkkkkâŚyeah, thatâs a way to live in a supposed 1st world country. Also, itâs not the citizenâs job to fix a country that its government doesnât care about. Letâs see if she can afford a home in Vancouver on an RCMP salary. Please.
Make easy choices - have a difficult life and vice versa
So many Indians and Pakistanis in Canada.. just here for passport and dollars..
Kinda true...
Hi ! Since childhood, I had an image of Canadians as very Happy, accepting nature people by watching ' Just for Laugh Gags '..it seems other way around now a days..what happened to this beautiful culture?
Yes it's all bs.... and propaganda that the government itself wants the world to believe when the reality is just the opposite. A depressing country full of xenophobic people and that has absolutely nothing to offer. Better stay in your home country or go somewhere else who welcomes foreigners instead of systematically rejecting them.
It's a nice place I believe

Glad you like the video
06:00 I am not sure what they mean by "brown person", but at the other side of the pond Indians hold vast share of good jobs ( finance, medical doctors, IT, and now even His Majesty Government) and its them who systematically discriminate against everyone else. In fact, they strongly prefer their own family members, which became frequent source of complaints from other Indians.
For sure! Look at Prime Minister
I moved from South America (SA) to QC as permanent resident - my parents applied for the PR and it took 9 years, and we are the first generation of our family, we have no relatives here. We come from poor families (as a consequence of the local crisis, discrimination, etc - eg: one of my grandparents was abandoned in the streets when he was just 4 years old) that succeded to get into low middle class in SA, and we invested lots in education, property, etc, but nothing in brand clothes, good cars, vacations, etc. My father got good paying jobs in the gov, and has two masters, etc - we think it is the fear of poverty that led us to some degree of success in life.
Since we had lived in a big city in SA, we chose a middle sized city in QC. I was able to get a job as a programmer some months after we got our PR status (about 4 years ago), one year later we purchased a house with our savings from SA, all my siblings are currently studying (one of them will graduate next year), my mother is working and will soon go back to school to hopefully land better jobs in the future, and my father just finished an AEC and has just been hired by a local company. We work a lot as a team.
We have not had issues so far, but I'd say that is the case because we came prepared to some extent (money, where to live, how the gov programs work, etc). Of course, no country is perfect, but Canada is far better than where we come from.
To us the canadian dream is probably still alive, just not in the big cities.
Key is togetherness and judicious in spending
How could Canada not dying if a joker elected to be your predident
11:44 of course there are successful narratives but I'd say that a lot of Canada is not what it shows to the world and there are so many immigrants living Canada too. All these new engineering students will they find jobs jobs in their fields? Some are very frustrated after five years of finishing their degrees and not being able to find a job in their field.
I'm sure success has to be built through smart work
@@ImCanada This kind of comment is like blame the victime. My friend is the only brown guy in his organization with a good job. A higher position comes up he had all of the qualifications plus an excellent record somehow a security guard with absolutely no qualifications ended up being his director. I guess he was smarter. Over and over I find that it is about who you know in the organization. Like another case I know. A director of a federal government position inherited his job to his son (with no experience in the field) when he retired. They told us "oh, go figure noone else applied for the job". A job was specially tailored for a friend so noone else would meet the requirements and only he could be the successful candidate. Yes, work smart. I also know of other successful stories that were more about merit but still I wonder...
It would have been nice to see an African and hear their perspective on the subject đ
I'm an african thats lived in Canada for 20 years. Canada is good for its passport only. It's path to citizenship is easy compared to other countries. Apart from that, there is nothing in Canada. Just get the passport then move to United States.
Would that make any difference? A little bit of a darker skin and that will be the answer to all the problensđŽ
@@RamonLarancuentRT540 are you ok ? Is not about the skin color exactly but African experience because a person like me can relate đĽ´
@@RamonLarancuentRT540 as much as I find the video informative but I wanted to hear that perspective because Filipino and white European or Indian experience is different from African experience đđđ
@@my_life_as_Rumbie we should all be related regardless. For me it is the same thing if a person from africa, asia, europe,the midle east or the caribean which is where i am came drom tells me that life is terrible here. I just dislike when people unconsiosly segregate and only pay attention when an issue affects their race. In this case it sounds like it wasn't impactfull unless an african was there and no one else should soffer as much.
The country is dying for everyone. Quality of life has decreased, cost of living has increased, the amount of freedom has noticeably decreased, the amount of government overreach has increased. As a Western Canadian secessionist of European & First Nations heritage who originally from the prairies there is no need for me to promote WEXIT because Ottawa does a good enough job at fanning the flames of separation with their policies regarding energy, firearms & their fertilizer reduction initiatives. Oddly it was visiting Ottawa as a young man that turned me from a patriotic Canadian into a Western Secessionist. It might not be evident to new comers to Canada but the country has gotten noticeably worse for those who were born here. Another 5,000,000 or 10,000,000 or 50,000,000 people wonât make things better, it will just increase the burden on the ecosystem, decrease the availability of housing & create more strain regarding water & food scarcity; the fastest growing cities in Canada are building up on some of the little viable agricultural land. I ended up moving to the US to provide better opportunities and a better quality of life for my children. I know by the time they are older the country of their & my birth will be in worse shape then than it is now, with it now being in worse shape now than it was when I was a child. Heed my warning, if this senseless mass immigration continues it will gradually erode social cohesion and will one day result in the Balkanization of Canada. Read Sir John Glubbâs âthe fate of empiresâ or Oswald Spenglerâs works on Imperium. No nation state lasts forever without either fragmenting into smaller states or transforming into some larger form of empire, itâs a tale as old as recorded history.
Exactly
It's not all bad though
Itâs not all good either, far from it. My point remains, as someone who was born in Canada it has gotten worse in multiple spheres and has not gotten better in so far as our overall quality of life, personal liberties and the dreaded cost of living have all deteriorated. Someone new to the country is not capable of gauging or understanding those changes because they have no frame of reference except for the country that they left. Perhaps if you did a video where you talked to people born in Canada from a variety of backgrounds(First Nations, Old Stock settler descendants, second generation children of immigrants) In different regions throughout the country(West Coast, Buffalo which is more commonly known as the Prairies, central Canada, Quebec, the Maritimes & the North and asked them this question they might give you answers that mirror or have similar sentiments to my initial comment. Disregarding the discontent experienced by those who are already here will only further the neo-liberal agenda of globalization by hollowing out Canada of its resources whilst filling the country with a surplus of people who we do not have the infrastructure to provide the basic necessities for. If Canadians were content or happy with how things were the Freedom convoy would not have happened, overdose deaths wouldnât be the biggest killer of males aged 14-50 & the PM wouldnât get heckled at every single appearance that he makes, if things were fine you wouldnât have the Maverick Party in the West or the Bloc QuĂŠbĂŠcois.. Again, ask some people more familiar with the country their opinions, we might even have pertinent or helpful information that would be beneficial to your targeted viewership demographic of newcomers.
People naturally prefer people like themselves.
Yes, though it's not the most beneficial to progress
What a bizarre video. Quite simply, Canadian government has overrun housing, schools, and healthcare with record high immigration. We are seeing effects now--housing crisis, children stacked in portable classrooms, waitlists for doctors.
It's not everywhere though
@@ImCanada Worse, because it's heavily concentrated in just a handful of cities.
Low wages
No recognition of previous international and superior experience
High inflation and cost of living
Poor lifestyle
Most of the immigrants get stuck because of their kids as they cannot take them back as the education system is so bad that they will never be able to adjust back
Future is bleak
Things are going to get better I think
@@ImCanada They will never get better. Mark my words. Why? The govt wants more immigrants so they can gather votes and win election. There are not enough houses and healthcare is deteriorating but they don't care. Canada is broken and cannot be fixed.
People need to move out of bigger cities like Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Move to Ottawa, Calgary/Edmonton/ and other smaller cities where you pay lower rent and make better living. GET TO WORK AND NO EXCUSESđ
Yes, good point
Just to let you know Ottawa is no longer affordable. Rent price somehow is even higher than Montreal
Very informative good
Glad it was helpful!
my fathers family was forced to move to canada in the early 1700's, it wasnt canada back then, but his ancestors settled canada....anyways, i am canadian and i feel alienated in my own ountry, i need surgery and ive been waiting for three months, ive been homeless yet strangers from 100's of kilometers away can have housing, i cannot afford much because everything is so expensive. im only 28 years old. if i cannot afford to rent or have a family because the government cares more about strangers from around the world than its own people then that only means that the social contract between citizen and government has been completely broken and canada is run by treasonous terrorists. i will be leaving this unremarkable mediocre country soon
It's tough I know but I hope things will get better
Anna's example on the future of Canada is quite accurate, also a subscriber to her channel and Anastasia as well with RR dancel.
They are great!
My suggestions to people is to a) learn a skill that can make you money online and b) save some money then go live where the cost of living is a lot less, the weather a lot better, people a lot friendlier and the environment a lot happier making for a much fulfilling life. Leaving Toronto was the best decision I've made. Used to spend 4k/mo without leaving the house, barely covering groceries to now living my best life on 2k/mo in a tropical paradise in a first world city in Asia.
Went from paying 1500$/mo for a room, eating frozen food and being bored out of my mind in the GTA to now staying in the best part, heart of the downtown of a major city in Asia where I have my own big apart, 34th floor, amazing Infiniti rooftop pool, gym with a view to die for, for 1150CDN/mo, eating out every meal having whatever I want, whenever, taking Grab (the local Uber) anywhere anytime, having a vibrant social life, no stress, meeting incredible and inspiring people, having a fun social life. Conservative, traditional, values with sane environment where I can actually see myself starting a family and not being horrified to send my kids to a brainwashing school system that will corrupt and poison their mind with their trans and lgbqt non sense.
Go out, explore, and just do it. I'm a proud Canadian but can't recognize the country anymore as the place I grew up in. It's not the same, I feel a stranger and I don't feel at home in Canada anymore. At this time, the best and most valuable thing about Canada is the passport. Got my new 10 year passport 2 weeks ago, the very next day, booked a one way ticket back to Asia. Couldn't be happier. You can be too. Just do it. :)
Good one

It would be nice to also hear what people who are planning to leave or have already left Canada have to say, because I bet it would be very different from what immigrants who just arrived and immigrants who came to Canada earlier and were able to get more opportunities have to say.
People should also take what they said with a pinch of salt, because as you would expect, immigrants who spent good parts of their lives pursuing the "Canadian dream" will struggle to not be biased and see things as they are.
Great idea!c I'll try to make that video possible
I left two years ago, here are my observations as a Canadian citizen in exile; the quality of life in Canada has decreased in my lifetime, the amount of personal freedom has drastically been reduced within my lifetime. Many people are not totally aware of the nuance of this, but if you are a legal firearms owner in Canada you are more heavily scrutinized than teachers or politicians & have a criminal record check performed daily. With the rise of gang related violence in large urban centers the current regime in Ottawa has seen it fit to utilize legal firearms owners as whipping boys to push through their totalitarian agenda. As a Western Canadian firearms are part of our cultural heritage & a heritage and culture which Ottawa wishes to eradicate. Beyond that, the yearly increases on the carbon tax make life very unaffordable, as a parent it was getting so expensive that even with a decent paying job, after taxes, the cost of housing, the cost of food & the cost of fuel resulted in us being able to save less than $1000 a month. Canada is a large country with a horribly centralized government that is out of touch with the populace, there are effectively different economic castes in the country with government employees being their own separate caste. The use of language laws is a form of gatekeeping to prevent average Canadians to getting secure government positions and salaries. The fact that those language policies exist but there is not a universal effort to teach le Francais to young students indicates a deliberate effort to keep a large segment of the Canadian public from getting public sector jobs. Non bilingual people are barred from being the PM or Governor General. Government in Canada is too heavy, it punishes people who work hard with high taxes & their solution to everything is to drastically expand the population by immigration in order to avert a potential housing crash or pension crisis. As someone who is part indigenous & a Prairie Boy, Ottawa has never been our friend, they have used the RCMP to implement their colonialist aspirations and apply the law differently when a member of the political establishment violates said law. I am not hopeful for the future of Canada; I feel like it will one day either be annexed by global superpowers for its resources or it will Balkanize into smaller states as national unity withers away due to the incompetence and corruption of the Ottawa situated Laurentian political establishment. If they werenât incompetent or corrupt there wouldnât be talk of Chicom electoral interference. These are just my opinions but I am likely not the only one to express such concerns if you talk frankly with other Canadians.
I left 3 months ago I was working for 25/hr while my student visa didnât allow me full time and a freaking expensive room to live. I was barely affording food and the job offers were absolute garbage. 3 months applying only entry level dead end job offers. 1 month back home I have a good remote offer with a US company. The Canadian experience is a gatekeeping thing they have if you arenât white. The general belief is that you come from a country where there is nothing while most immigrants are educated abroad in different countries
No wonder people are leaving Canada. Be assured. If the state of this country stays like this, unaffordable, unsecured⌠immigrants will still come in but only to save a bit of cash, take a  good  passport and get out of here. Immigrants are more educated, smarter and will not settle in a shitty place. 90% of them left a good situation where they can simply return.
It's not that black or white
Hey Iâm Canada, if you had the choice between Star Trek and Star Wars which are you taking. Also I have something you have to guess, where is Altona?

5 years ago an average meal at any fast food chain was around $6 now $12. And zero wage increment. cost of living doubled. used cars tripled.
Yes, but the wages, opportunities have doubles as well

There is struggle everywhere. That doesn't works for you in Canada doesn't mean it will not work for others. Its all about asking God where you are supposed to be be. Abroad isn't for everyone and not everyone will make it abroad.
True
Please stop listening to your parents and decide to move overseas just to make them happy. I've been overseas for 23 years; I'm moving back to my home country in Asia after all these years. I haven't gone back for a visit since I left, but I know life is better there than here in Australia. Australia is same as Canada it's not better in any way shape or form. Please invest all those money which your parents are ready to pay you to go overseas into your own business. If your parents disagree, ignore them and do it secretly. If you cannot make a living in your own country, believe me, you cannot do it overseas. It's 100 times harder, and you will have to do everything on your own without anyone's support. In your country you at least have people you know who will support you.
It's a good perspective
3:26 that's basically because of the duopoly between Air Canada and Westjet!
Fares will only come down if more competition is allowed!
What about the low cost airlines like Flair or Swoop
@I'm Canada Many of the low-budget airlines are affiliates/subsidiaries of the main operators, so they really can't offer any meaningful competition.
Same puppeteer controlling all the puppets!
And by the way, Westjet just killed off its baby - Swoop!
Swoop went under
A high speed rail network, like those in developed countries, would allow for competition. This will never happen, because competition is not acceptable in Canada, where the highest value is mediocrity and government bail outs.
Good job đ
Thank you so much!â¤ď¸
After i lived in Canada longer but i came back to my country
Where?
We moved from Germany to Canada almost 16 years ago. This once-so-nice country has changed big time! it is now unaffordable, greedy with ruder and ruder and selfish people and no perspective anymore. We can't wait to spend our retirement in an affordable and easy-going country but for sure not here in Canada! Sad, but the reality... đ
It's different true
@@ImCanada It is a total true!!
Canada was always crap
All of the people are moving to Canada or having a migration plan are from terrible countries like Russia India Ä°ran Mexico KoreaâŚâŚwhich the economical and political situation are worse!
So nothing will stop immigrants from moving to Canada unless they find another or better option.
Personally Iâm from Iran, we donât have freedom, people barely can feed their family with normal jobs and canât even imagine to buy their own house!
People from my country move to other countries to be safe, to live like a normal human and I think the story wonât be any different for the people from other countries.
No one would leave his family friends land culture food and memories âŚ..for No reason.
I agree. it's just a matter of perspective. I am from Africa and I can tell you majority of Africans here would give a kidney to move to Canada (including međ).
South Korea? South Korea is a much better place to live than Canada.
Nope not entirely correct
I am from India and I admit that it was my biggest mistake to come here. India is more advance in every way than Canada be it medical, technology, education etc.
We are fooled by the greener grass in the other side and once we reach here we realize that it is marsh full of quick sand.
Now we can not leave because our kids won't adjust back in the education system back in India as it is way more advance and our kids will fail there.
At least that is my story
@@preetindersingh2884 thanks for sharing your point of view with me preet.
@@preetindersingh2884 Of course, your children won't do well in Indian schools as they were already brainwashed in Canada. Canadian public schools make your children retards. They can't compete with any children from top Asian schools.
HI MAX THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT CONTENT PLEASE WHICH AFFORDABLE UNIVERSITY WOULD YOU RECOMEND FOR THE STUDY OF A MASTERS IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN CANADA.
Hi! I'd say Yorkville University or if you're interested in colleges - NSCC
@@ImCanada THANK YOU,
The big difference between immigrants from 30, 40, 50 years is the new immigrants are mostly from well off families in their native country. They go to western countries like canada to do better. Canada/other western countries want immigrants for cheap labor & stay back to pay taxes for socialist programs with no benefit for immigrants.
So the well to do immigrants will struggle to get their Citizenship and leave the country and will be back to collect their benefits when needed by putting very little into the country. This was only done by a few years ago but one will see this as a majority in the near future.
Good observation
Did a 9 month trip around Canada BC and Alberta. Was shocked to see how the cost of everything is and how difficult it is to live comfortably factored in with the brutal weather. Lucky I didn't go ahead with my 2 year work visa otherwise I would have struggled to live there as an Australian. The image presented for Canada and the reality was polarising to say the least.
Haha! Yeah, especially it depends on where you go
Canada esp bc and ontario is way over priced and over taxxed..... expect to give goverment 50% of pay cheque and then cost of living...
Ontario is not the only place
Actually a few months ago tried to open small company in Canada small investment that I find many requirements and a lot of money should be invested and this was so frustrating

If we had more competition in canada, airlines and telecommunications for example, prices would come down.
Yes, most likely
More competition means China and they are marked evil, threatening, and evil.

Yes! Agree
Canada is dying indeed.
But look at the examples of people who you chose to show here.
I am aware that the quality of immigrants coming from South Asia has been poor recently, but your examples aren't real world representations of what I've seen.
Instead of choosing an example of an Indian lady, who wants to be an RCMP officer, and cannot even speak English, you could have interviewed educated and well settled South Asians.
I know many couples who are making 250k+ each on average working in management and leadership roles and that's their first job as new immigrants to this country.
Also why not use the same hyperbole while showcasing white immigrants, I've met many East European immigrants driving cabs and working menial jobs, why not show them as well.
The reality is that many new permanent residents are much more qualified than you, me and those white ladies you've interviewed. The minimum CRS score to get an ITA is ~490 these days. Spend some time to understand how difficult it is to qualify for a PR these days if you're already not here. Don't confuse skilled workers with shitty students who are here to study in strip mall colleges. Skilled workers who are coming here will put this country on the map and build the silicon valley of Canada.
Please provide non-anecdotal stats on professionals earning $250K plus because I know more people that earn minimum wage because the degree and experience from their Motherland is not recognized in Canada.
Good perspective
They already said it; 21st century belongs to Asia.
Taxes on salary + Taxes on houses + Taxes on everything you buy = 60% taxes on your income, this is crazy.
Not really, there's many write offs
You're doing a great job @I'm Canada. Keep it up PS: send my regards to the Annas
Thanks a lot! Will do!
Prab is always be my favorite guess on your channel, Max... she's even prettier nowadays đ
She wants to be a police officer so she can get told to not arrest criminals. Sounds like a good way to keep Vancouver safe.
The RCMP donât operate in Vancouver, they do operate in cities like Burnaby however, where one was stabbed to death in a tent city a while back.
Yes, RCMP is federal
Hello, I have been following your channel for a very long time. I have a slight confusion about calculating the CRS point. I am a foreign student, I studied for my master's, and I am currently enrolled in the Ph.D. Program; I will finish my Ph.D. degree on 15 July 2023. In the last six years, I have worked part-time as a research & development intern for three years (1970 hours TEER1) & I have 1200 hours (TEER 3) experience. In addition, I have two years of foreign experience from my country. Now the question is, can I apply to the FSW program and obtain the points for Canadian work experience? Or the Canadian experience points can only be obtained through a one-year full-time experience in a work permit? I want to apply to the FSW after getting my Ph.D. next month, so I want confirmation before I apply.
Hi there, yes, most likely you can qualify through FSW but it's now the matter of will you pass the cut off for that one of CEC. You can book a meeting with my lawyer here: calendly.com/d/2f5-hmj-6k9/consultation-immigration-lawyer
@@ImCanada hello, based on the 1 year Canadian experience obtained while studying, i have calculated my cutoff score it will be close to 499 or above with my PhD degree. If I calculate two years of Canadian it will exceed 510 points. Sure, i will follow up with one of your lawyer. In addition, my wife also have a 1 year fulltime Canadian experience (Teer 2)
Silent racism? It's not wrong to prefer your own people, don't let them shame you for it.
It's foolish to hire lesser talent because it's someone who looks like you. That's a poor business decision. On the other hand, if other people do it then, it's an advantage for me in the long run. By all means, discriminate!

Very flawed logic and oversimplification by the two ladies to to say "Be the first Brown person and work harder so the manager can employ more Brown people" or better yet "Just open your own business" doesn't help at all.

As a middle eastern woman, I faces raciam, reverse-raciam, sexism, and in general all possible types of discrimination.
It's almost close to impossible to own a proper 1 million $ home in Metro Vancouver, and IMO definitely not worth it when you can afford a bigger and in better shape place in California with higher salary and definitely better infrastructure. We're giving Canada about 2 more years to see if the situation gets any better, if not, we value our sanity and expertise way more to stay here where what you can be paid for is capped ( salary, health care, etc.), But what you pay for is not!

Hoping to retire in 10 years or so. My wages right now are being taxed and deducted at close to 50%. That means for 6 months out of every year, I am working for free. If you take into account all the other taxes we pay, such as sales tax, property tax, school tax. The total rate at which we are taxed is closer to 70-80%. Wages are not increasing. Can't get s doctor. Patients wait hours if not days in ERs. If I stay in Canada on the pension that the government pays, I will end up losing everything through taxes to the government. Just simple math. But most people don't get it. Canada is headed towards a society where its citizens will own nothing and be working slaves to pay for all the taxes
There needs to be more than one income source for sure
Iâm a graduate from a Canadian university. I think, Canada needs to be more generous in letting temporary resident like me to pursue licensed courses more easily and affordable alongside PR holders and citizens.
Iâve been chasing an institution to help me financially for a particular license, which costs 10-15k CAD, but they say, they cannot because Iâm not a PR or citizen.
If I get a chance and financial assistance to pursue skill building certifications and licenses, it will be motivating and make me feel inclusive to plan staying longer in Atlantic Canada than to move west.

Homes in the smaller towns aren't much cheaper if they are within commuting distance of a big city. Being frugal is not enough, many immigrants have second and third jobs.
