Came to Canada as a student in October 2021, and lived in St Catharines, Toronto and now Oakville. Even got a full-time job. The question now is, is Canada still worth it? In the video, I explore the positives, negatives and my opinions on the future of immigrants planning to come to Canada.
Here, let me present a long list for Indians to not make the move to Canada :
- Isolating and Depressing - Everyone here is just busy working or studying. People barely have time for anyone at all. Even if you are struggling, you might still hear the response " I have work right now, I'll be there after".
-High Stress and Depression - Immigrants are constantly living under high stress conditions and fear of uncertainty. A lot of them are struggling with depression. Enough evidence to show that prolonged stress ages you, depresses you, makes you anxious, can give heart attacks and so much more.
- Taxes and Income - Almost half of your salary goes to tax.
- Travel - Everything is situated at a very long distance and you must drive for basic stuff in most cities.
- Public Transit - In most cities public transit sucks real bad. In the city I live, the same distance takes 18 minutes on car but 1.25 hours on transit.
- Weather - The weather stays bad for a longer time than good. Lack of sunlight can induce seasonal depression especially in brown population.
- Economy - It's going through quite a bad phase, I guess everyone knows about this by now.
- Drug Addict Dangers - There is a whole population of homeless drug addicts in almost every part of town who can be quite dangerous and aggressive.
- Cold and Dull - Everything is just cold, sterile and dull. There is no liveliness like in India. Streets are just empty and silent, everyone is cooped up in their homes and cars.
- Laws - Laws are not exactly favorable for immigrants.
- Healthcare - It is horrible. Lack of medical staff, high expenses, very very high wait times, and terrible emergency response. People have to wait in emergency rooms for hours.
- Feeling like an outsider - No matter how well you integrate the feeling of an outsider is there. The feeling of belonging is not there.
- Staying away from family and friends - Not being able to help them in their time of need or their inability in helping you. Missing out on all the best moments.
- Lack of business opportunity - India is a developing nation with such a high population, it has great scope for big business.
- Everyone is struggling - You meet people who are living here for years and yet struggling all the time which leaves you with a sense of a bleak future. When does the struggle end? I think people here just accept their fate of becoming a machine.
- Housing - There is an ongoing housing crisis. Incredibly difficult to buy a home and pay the mortgage for a lifetime.
- Retirement - In the end you are left alone in an empty house where you have to make plans to meet up with your own family. I've met old people working in factories in their 60s saying I'll anyway end up in an old age home. Sad.
- Parents - Even if you do bring your parents with you, I've seen and talked to many parents who just want to leave. There is a reason the parents call it a "Meethi Jail". They are unable to adjust.
- Racism - The racism in Canada is very subtle but be rest assured that the dinner table conversations make sure that the immigrants are to be blamed for a lot of the troubles. Also, the general image of Indians has deteriorated on the Internet lately.
- Purposeless Students - Indian students are mass migrating with no clear purpose. They are leaving their good privileged lives to struggle for basic stuff. The exact opposite of what they set out to get. So once they get their PRs they have no reason left to endure so much struggle.
I am saying this even though I have never been depressed and have always been optimistic here. Just imagine.
That’s so true
Very good video brother. baki videos me bohot general things hai. Aapke video me aalag prespective se chije discuss ki hai.
Thank you, just started this channel to help people. If possible aap aur logo se subscribe karwa dijiye because isse mujhe kaafi help hogi.
They have to go back.
Nice video, I really liked that you tried to say some motivational points, I also liked the last part about your outlook, its been few months hearing all negativity about Canada, this video was a genuine effort to give some positivity and reality checks. Thanks :)
Also, are u able to manage household things and other pressure?
Thank you. Comments like these are the reason why I am on RUclips:)
Household isn’t a big problem: for groceries I order using Uber eats, dishes aren’t many (I also have a dishwasher at home but barely use it), i try meal prepping, laundry is easy, cleaning too. You can figure out that I have time to make and edit such videos after work so the pressure isn’t much.
Good to hear this, more power to you :) May you reach your RUclips and life goals both with utmost success. @@luvkhandelwal1997
@luvkhandelwal1997 bro what about restaurants jobs
Hey, sorry for the late response. Jobs in food chains are available more easily compared to other jobs because the work pressure there is more and almost all of them are minimum wage (sometimes with or without tips). From there you can try to make a career for a better restaurant.
Keep going bro ❤
Thank you!
bhai i have heard from lot that entry level job in IT is difficult and they prefer master students
IT is a huge domain. For instance, in software engineer roles recruiters usually don't have any preference (however they might pay you less for the same role). However, if it is a Business Analyst role, they would definitely have many options from master students so you might have difficulty. Depends a lot on other factors like co-op vs no co-op, previous work ex, etc.
@@luvkhandelwal1997 ok thx bro and i have one more question if you can please suggest if i have a gap of 1.5 yr after btech will it be difficult to get into masters or should i try to find a job and then do master after 1-2 years
I had a gap of 1 yr, but I had rejoined the same company. In my case my reason was that i wanted to study abroad that year but covid happened. Additionally, I could show specialisations i completed during that time. Totally depends on how you pass that gap year.
@@luvkhandelwal1997ok thanks bro for your suggestion really appreciated!
@@luvkhandelwal1997bro what about restaurants jobs please help
Bhai I have applied lmia and I got that 2 months back but the last call for passport stamp approval is not coming I am really upset is it rejection or what plz guide
I think they have kept a lot of things on hold
Any certain reason? U have any idea
Like my oinp nomination has been there for months now and no update. From what I hear, it’s mainly because of the anti immigration stance of the government. You can reach out on my instagram for more details.

@luvv_khandelwal
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 culture, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, only modern slavery, worst healthcare system, unbearable political correctness, crime infested/drug infested, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become a North Korea style dictatorship in the western world.
Their 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.
This is the best comment so far! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, I have tried to ask for opinions on this on my instagram. Connect with me there so I can share what people have opined on this.
I completely agree. Multiculturism does not work.
One can even observe this just by living in the country for a while. Immigrants always stick to their own kind. You'll always see herds of Chinese, herds of Indians, herds of Phillipinos, herds of whites etc. and never a mix group unless the kids are brought up in the country. The clashes are also quite evident among these communities every once in a while.
Everyone is just struggling to make ends meet, waking up and running to work, no one has time. Isolating and depressing.
@@johanliebert5781 Those who understand Urdu : Canada is simple a "Kharza-istan" (a land of debt).
@@CanadaMathHaha, good one.
Bro shall i go for Ms in business analytics or Ms supply chain?
I want to take admission in good university
Well highly subjective, but I know someone who did his MMA at UoT and earns extremely well (high above in 6 figures) so it’s up to you to decide. Also consider MS in Data Science.
Good and informative video

@@luvkhandelwal1997 what is situvation of part time jobs and rent in canada
@@akshayvpradeep it’s not that easy but not greatly impossible. Rent is definitely high, I remember in St. Catharines you could get a room for 500-550 2 years ago. Now it’s around 600+ for the same room.

Canada is a great country
Define great for me
@@luvkhandelwal1997 every nri is happy from canada... what more proof u want for the definition of greatness???
@@binupillai4929 some countries are great on a certain metric. Like wealth (US), culture and heritage (India), discipline (Japan), natural abundance (Canada), so calling any country great needs a metric on which you are defining it great.
@@luvkhandelwal1997 u know what if given chance entire india will go to canada, usa, europe or dubai. Heritage and all comes later on. People want good money, good health, good oxygen to breath, good and clean water. Delhi is the capital of india and what is the air pollution.levels there
You guide me how to be successful in canada and get work peemit.... i want to be on visiting visa
Is it worth coming to Vancouver or surrey on PR ?
Vancouver is the most expensive city rn. So totally depends on how much salary you make, I have another video you can use to calculate the salary you need to make depending on the city.

Bhai Khalistani situation kaisi hai…? Suna hai Hindu and Indians ko kafi tang karte hai.
Hahaha lol. Bhai aisa kuch nhi hai, haan thoda Brampton/Surrey se doori rakho. Agar koi problem serious lagi mujhe, woh major cities ke downtown mein homeless logo se hui. Toronto public transit mein log pant mein huggkar ghoom rahe hote hai. Woh unbearable ho jata hai.

Bro, Aisa kuch bhe nhi h. M 4-5 saal se rehh rha hu. Mandir me sardaar/punjabi bhe dekhe h or gurudware me hindu bhe h. Ye online news dekh ke apne aap ko manipulate na hone do. Just be positive.
Modi has made India shine but why Indian leaving India? I asked an Indian student and he told me it is all fake, Modi is good for few Gujaratis only and for the rest there is Ram Temple.
Most of the Indians leave mostly because of the reservation system, increasing crime in the name of protests, etc. Gujaratis are hardworking people, they own 90% of the hotels in the states (Modi is not helping them there)
@@luvkhandelwal1997best reply😅
Chamche don't abuse gujarti if u don't have talent .
Ha ha ha 😂😂😂 just check the Corruption scams...how BJP media and modi parivar is looting.... fooling.... Unemployment.
Only modi is camera focused n enjoying on public funds
