Canada's cost of living is more pl don't move to any country stay in India only other country's situation was very bad so pl parents if yr are send yr children's to other country otherwise don't send too much struggling redg food job accommodation so pl another two year don't send yr children's for studies or job my son was in uk but he won't get proper job or part time job also this messages was for ALL my INDIANS 200% TRUTH MESSAGES TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS N
I also left Canada because of poor job opportunity in my field and even in other fields. Money you get is very low, heavily taxed and you can't visit your country so easily. I moved back to India and enjoying every bit.
A Simple logic to consider,be it any other country apart from canada-Earning overseas and being settled in India,is the real deal,else no matter how many US or canadian dollars,or any other currency one earns,each penny will be hard to spend in the same country one earns them.In a way,advantage of having a weak currency,but yes,we still do have to pay a price.
excellent points, my friend moved from Canada to Australia due to cold Canadian weahter and he used to say snowy weather looks great in movies or in vacations but when constantly clearing driveway from snow daily and dressing up with heavy attire before going out it's messed up he also mentioned long queves for hospital visits
At least you are telling truth otherwise those who come to India do not talk about their suffering and hardships they only talk about pros and people here start believing that they are the happiest and luckiest people on the earth which is not the case. And this thing leads to craziness to leave the country. Hope people will get to know the reality from you video.

@@vidanaps714 hi there I am from US everything is so expensive here as well. Please check before you start planning anything. The taxes are high and I barely save anything. Getting a new job is very competitive here and I feel like I am living on paycheck to paycheck. Can’t even save enough for down payment. You only get rich here if you have your own business or drive a truck. Your whole salary will go towards your house/rent, taxes,401K and groceries and gas. No savings 🥺
I went to a restaurant for meal in London, the waiter who served me was luckily from my city in Pakistan. He was Ph.D. in computer sciences from UK. I was amazed myself but he told me that at the moment there’s no job in my field and I am working as a waiter in the restaurant. So guys never get very high hopes, it always takes time to settle down.
Beautifully narrated! Hopefully the hopefuls would take note of what this young lady is describing! Before jumping in the pool check there is water in it!!
Its been a month now I’m in CA. Tbh, initial 20 days were miserable and later I eventually started achieving (basics) what I wanted.. A beautiful private accommodation , a job, though its a labour job only but its giving me immense pleasure as the people working with me are so good.. and mostly all of them are born and brought up in Canada. Lastly I want to mention about managing your own meals.. It is the most important factor which you face when you land in Canada. I’ve been eating frozen meals and paranthas from 3 weeks and thinking to start getting a tiffin service just to avoid eating processed food everyday.
Very nice and true explanation of the Canadian life.I moved to Canada in 1968 and faced the similar problems,I stayed for 18 months in Canadas and then moved to USA.The situastuon was different since we did not have any knowledge about Canada, You have done a great job
I am Nursery Plant Farmer and Live on my farm near Mumbai, India. When I got my PRV after a 6 year wait, I was over joyed. When my Visiting British( gorah) friend came to my farm home. I told him that I got my Canadian PRV. But he was surprisingly sad. And asked me " Its Cold out there, why you want to go there, and over at my farm Warmth is free " I really never appreciated that warmth is free at my Palghar, Maharashtra, farm. Then when We arrived in Canada and went to meet my wife's friend I casually showed the Photos of my farms Plant collection. One Canadian friend said when she saw the photos, she said " I don't think you will leave your farm and come here" Somehow Her utterances came true. It's 12 years I am still in India and my family is in Canada. My is PRV is expired. I will apply for renewal on humanitarian and Compassionate grounds. If i live here I miss my family If I go there I will miss being with all my plants. I don't have that much money to make a huge green house Dome in Canada where I can keep all my plants and live there.
I've lived in Canada for 56 years and my Canadian born children couldn't stand the bitterly cold weather. They now live in California. Do not come to Canada if you like warm weather and greenery. Canada is desolate and dreary. Visited India countless times. Stay in India. India is beautiful.
All the points are 100% Correct...Add some more points 1. Harsh weather 2. -40 Its more than sitting refrigerator freezer. 3. If your body doesn't bear cold or you get sick easily in home country because of weather change or coldness.. 4. Then dont shift to Canada it will create more health issues even Anaemia or major other problems.
My brother's family is in Canada, and he told me not to come Canada it's hell expensive.. I'm in United States working after my graduation.. I've decided to stay in United States. My brother and his family will eventually shift to United States as well.. whatever u told is 100% true..
In my experience, USA is worse the visas they offer are very restrictive. I wasn’t able to legally work or obtain pr there and I stayed for over 15 years. For me Canada has more opportunities
Plainspeak- Even if you are a doctor in your home country...be prepared to mop floors and clean bathrooms in Canada for atleast 2-3 years when you arrive !
You explained very well to everyone, I was thinking the same thing, I was thinking of going to Canada, I live in France and I have a French passport, but when I saw your video, I changed my mind. Now I will never come to Canada so please make a video like this and tell people the truth so that they know what we think is not what we think. Thank you for making this video and for increasing my knowledge.
Point #8 applies to me even when I got job in my own field. I am very impressed by the bullet point presentation and very straight talk by her! I liked her concluding remark at the end!
I am a Canadian citizen now and lived here for 10+ years. Also, lived in the US (4+ years) and UK (3 years). This video covers major issues in Canada. I like to add other factors based on my personal and other Indian colleagues and friends experiences in these countries. Cons: Highest in Canada, then UK, and then the US. I have a PhD and Postdoc experiences in the Top #1-3 Rank universities in Canada, UK, and the US, and the work experiences are of mine and other people at these institutions. Work opportunities: Discrimination based on the race, gender, religion (Sikhs and Muslims watch out!) and appearance (height, looks, etc.) will dictate getting a job, security, and promotion in R&D and managerial jobs. Immigrants are most to suffer from low salary, long work hours, low job security, burnout, depression, etc. The US IT sector has more opportunities as long as you can move (my spouse changed 7 jobs in 2-3 years and we had to move to different states/cities with a 1 month old baby). Other sectors like R&D are hard to get jobs but they are long-term jobs and do not have to move! Healthcare: Health care in the US especially in big cities is best in the world but it is accessible only if you have a great insurance plan from your work. Otherwise, no one cares! Canada basic (not everything) health care is free but it takes months/years to get a doctor at the beginning, and after that they simply ignore their patients since they get paid no matter what. It is free and useless! In the UK, medical professions are more empathetic and very efficient to solve the critical health problems. Patients get discharge soon after surgeries since they don't have budget/beds/staff, etc. Cost of living: Do not change country until the recession is over. Without Financial Credit History (must in US & Canada), renting or buying house, credit card, car rent/buy, etc. become even more expensive and new immigrants will not be able to cope.
You forgot mention these points: - Colleges/universities not as good compared to in the US - Less job opportunities - Boring cities (except Toronto and Vancouver) These are some of the reasons I left Canada and moved to the US. Good video though 👍🏾
@@rajputv8674 im a citizen lol so there is not really a precedure for me. So i wouldn't know too much about that. You should do some research. Good luck bro
My son and daughter in law moved to Canada about 2 years ago on PR. Both of them are having MBA degree from a reputed management college and were working in MNC's in India. Initial period was very tough for them and even my son had to work in Wallmart for few days as helper for livelihood. Now both of them are working for reputed companies in Canada, and are easily managing their own house, 2 Cars and best life in Alberta despite high interest rates, minus 40 degree peak temperature and inflation. Guys before moving have a big heart to adjust yourself in adverse situations.
Wonderful presentation.. Those who struggle in the first 2/3 years are are definitely settled well into their field. This is reality what the girl is saying.
You are absolutely right ...your points are very genuine...my son now citizen of Canda living last 9 years...tell us the same ..which you told by video ....thnx for right information for those who ...wants to go Canada..
100% true.I came here after retirement to join my child.If your lives are not safe in your country due to unrest,only then think of leaving your country.Forget everything else.I used to attend 100 patients per day.Here I have to wait months to have an appointment from a doctor.They don't care diseases complicate with time.
Mam sach aapne to mere sir say Bhut hi utaar diya ..main apne bete ko canada Jane ko kehti rehti thi but aapki video dekhne sunney kay baad lag raha h India hi best h mam... thank you so much God bless you
Health care system in Canada is worst my friends mother needed MRI they gave her appointment after 3 month can you imagine. You Don't have to wait that much even if you want to get it done in PGI.
Every single word u said is 100% correct. We moved to canada 3 years ago. Obviously without knowing the reality of canada as told in this video. Learned the truth hard way.
India is also good country to live if you do good education and work in IT industry.. companies are providing health insurance and provide high end package where one cannot get in Canada and US.. In my home country i am getting high package per month which i am not able to get in canada and US.. India healthcare is also very good
But quality of life and standard of leaving are also a big factos because of which Indian youth is migrating to foreign countries growth is very less and slow in india
@@YuvrajSingh-fg8sc I am living in Chandigarh and here air quality, water quality, healthcare, traffic management, job opportunities, lifestyle is pretty much great.
@@mohanjitsingh5706yes I mean both job and business opportunities are more in canada USA as compared to India because of large population In India 50% youth is still unemployed and poverty is increasing and there are only limited opportunities that why people leaving India

Many of my friends are leaving, and I'm thinking about it. Taxes are very high, Cost of living is very high, impossible to buy an apartment or a house, even a 100K CAD a year you'll still poor. Also the Canadian currency is lower comparing to US dollar or to Euro.
It's going up all around the world. Pind wapas aaja bhai, dihadi hi lagani hai toh yahan laga liyo, sirf Instagram par Canada ki photos daalne se ghar nahi chalta.
I don't have words to Express just want to say Brilliantly explained and really thankful way you helping people so much and making their lives better.. Applauds Sandy 👏🏻👏🏻❤❤
I lived 1 year in Halifax and 4 years in Calgary..whatever she said is 100% true ..I was having good money but what is the use of that money if you are not happy..I left canada 8 years back and now very happy back home..my sister still there in Toronto..bhai canada jao per isliye nahi ki padosh k chachi ka beta wahai hai..life is very tough in canada..thx and regards Ashish
Another important point most people must know is that if you are young and come here you might most probably adjust well enough - because everything is new and exciting . After a few years when the newness wears off the winter, unsocial culture, poor career progression, etc. will really make you miss your old life in India.
I Really Appreciate Your Video. Thanks A Lot For Elaborating The Fact From Fiction, You're Saint Of This Present Era (I'm Not Joking At All) You Have Not Shown The Green Gardens Like Many Of The Agent Mafias & Other Vloggers. I'm Thankful To You For Showing The Right Picture.. Thanks 👍 "Take Care Of Yourself Please."
I'm falling in love with your vlogs.... You are so real and relatable... And the points which you covered are so granular and basic which most people tend to forget. I'm currently a single working woman based in India and am planning to move to Canada for PR. Watching your vlogs is making me mentally, morally and financially prepared. You're doing a great job.. Thank you for all your guidance..
very nice presentation. I came to england, studied my masters, I traveled across quite a few places in western Europe, and then realised that there is no other better place than India for a comfortable living. I have seen the hardships of developed countries, and of India as well, but there is something in India which makes that place so good, and that's the same reason, why invaders through out the world came to this place to gain in some or the other way.
Very well explained Sandy !!! Living here for 18 years and still want to go back to India. Don't know how the new immigrants are surviving when everything is so unaffordable and salaries so low !
Great video. You shared some great points regarding loneliness and also work life balance. I have heard so many examples of people who moved due to a better work life balance in Canada but now they work in two or even three jobs due to high cost of living. It's ironical.
Ma sha allah.. First ever heard much of the naked truth which is mostly untold.. In fact I am also thinking of spending other life to some other nation with less cost of living and stress free. I appreciate sister for such a nice presentation..
I listened your SANDY TALKS CANADA.I very much liked it because there is a True Strength in your narration speech. You erected the True facts of life. According to me, if someone has a patience always to live a life, there is always DIWALI. Thank you for giving guidance to coming generation in CANADA.
Good and realistic presentation, specially students from rural Punjab suffers and struggles for their expenses and survival, hope people will be mentally prepared before leaving home country, they must watch this video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your true feeling through this video which should be well acknowledged by those who are dreaming to go for Canada as permanent resident.
I agreed with her about Medical services...most of the western countries hospital's are bad. I stay in Australia for 5 years and the hospital's service are very slow have to wait long time. My husband have to wait for more 3 months just to check his teeth at Dentist. It is the same for New Zealand. My home country Malaysia medical services are better than Australia. Now my family's are back to Malaysia and we are happy here. My husband friends living in Canada also mentioned the same problem. It is better to stay in our home country if u have to suffer all that problems.
Sadly, not only Indian immigrants are leaving Canada. Both my Canadian born, professional children left on U.S. Green Cards seven years ago. They are now U.S. citizens living in Silicon Valley- Bay Area, California.
As an aside to financial hardships and homesickness immigrant children from South Asia are bullied and despised in high school. My neighbour's brilliant young son only 14, committed suicide a couple of years ago. Due to bullying
Marvellous inputs. I lived in Germany for over a decade and saw the winters there, which is rather mild by canadian winter standards and last just three months. I returned to India and wouldn't want to get back to live permanently in Germany or Canada, even for a million dollars. 😄
@@rmazim500Indian weather is chumma,even i hard to imagine my friends who migrate to canada how they survived where they belong to Gujarat whare Cold is not that much Canada is very harsh weather.
Madam sandy, you have properly described the lifestyle of canada and day to day struggle of canada especially for new comers . Except heavy snow fall n cool climate, nothing should be hectic for them.
Nice informative video. Like that it is transparent about the challenges of moving to a new country Couple points that I have noticed and would like to emphasize are: 1) You need to be ready to put in elbow grease/work physically. If you have been a spoilt brat back home then it's a given that living or studying in another country (where house-help is not available ) will be hard 2) Cost of living and taxes are higher. But these also facilitate better standard of living. 3) Flexibility matters in case of options/ choices in Food, accessories, necessities, work skills. Growing up if you have done chores, internships, picked up other associated skills will help in some way or the other in the long run: be it in socializing, finding work opportunities, volunteering
1. can have to do a labour job despite degrees & pr . 2. financial difficulties, have to do a lot of hard work. 3 high cost of living. 22-30% hike in grocery, most expensive plane of mobile ; 5-6% interest rate which used to be 1-2 % 4. waiting in the health care system even in an emergency. dentistry treatment is so expensive, 5. snow for 5 months, winter depression 6. home sickness 7. no work life balance of immigrants. 8. high expectations
You are right why come here and get frustrated. If you don't have the ability to adjust and feel the environment around you, you are bound to fail. Don't come with your emotional baggage and your ego, you will do well.
First thing most newcomers do, is to acquire a brand new car and take it for a spin without knowing the dangers and rules of the land they are in. My advice - focus on your goals, not on shiny objects. Build a foundation and move up, and you will never go wrong.
So true for those desiring to migrate to Canada. Every word you spoke is nothing but "the truth" We landed in Canada in December 1996 as two adults and three kids age from 8y to 1y. Luckily we understood what you have just mentioned in this video. We made it Alhamdolillah because we were firm that we are not going back and we had no plans to go on welfare or governmental supports. It was hard but step by step things started to go our way Alhamdolillah. You did an excellent job. (Brampton/Toronto/Canada.)
A.o.a sir...... As you said that you are still living in Canada and with family would you plz like to help me because I am also trying to migrate to Canada and I am really in need of good guide lines. I have four kids with me and they are from 9 years to 3 years. Plz if you feel comfortable then reply me
Life is tough here. Taxes are 41 % snd everything is taxed and double taxed. Food is impossibly expensive! You buy a few things snd it’s 100$! We are so used to buying in bulk and making juices and stuff ! Here Pomegranate costs 2-3$!! I’m stuck here as my son lived here but thinking of going back to Pakistan or another country ! Toronto only good for visits in summer!
Problem in Canada is jobs are very limited. I received Canadian PR in 2016 but decided to stay in US, since I had studied in US and was working in US, I had social circle there and also little to no opportunity in Canada. In 2019, I decided to relocate to India but couldn't adjust, I reapplied for Canadian PR came to Canada in December 2021, just for the Canadian passport. As I realized I cannot adjust back in India, and US won't give me its PR for at least 2 to 3 decades due to backlog for Indians. I already gave interviews in India, and came to Canada with good job in hand which pays quite well, it's in my field at high level but not the work I did earlier. For example, suppose I am working in railway industry but in my past all my experience was in designing tunnels and how feasible is a railway line. Now it is like how to lay tracks, what plates to use. This was just an example to show my field in Canada is same but domain is different. And very limited jobs in Canada for my domain, most calls I get is from US. Regarding spending money on expensive, unfortunately most of our North Indian brothers run on show-off. I make base of 170K CAD in Toronto but still find car of $40,000 expensive. But many people I know barely make $120K in Toronto and have purchased car worth 70 or 80K.
@@harshalgaikwad8669 I work in a niche occupation. Even in India I was getting base of 40 lacs. The only reason I came to Canada was after spending a decade in US (Student + work), adjusting back in Indian system was a mess. I am in chip design. Many people make much more than me. Masters + 5 years of experience people in Amazon Toronto makes base of 180k+, along with stocks and variable of another 50K or so per year.
@@BlessUAL No idea. I am not in mechanical engineering. The example I gave of train/Railways was because even a non tech person understands that example. If I start throwing technical terms in my specialization, and what I do and what I want to do, more than 95 % audience wont understand. So thats why i gave that small example.
May be selective 10% of lucky and skilled immigrants make that kind of money but the rest of Canadians make very less and suffers due to high COLA with increasing borrowing cost recently is making going even tough
@@rohanbansal9563 Semiconductor 5-10 yrs experience in india you will save same as 180k in Canada, US also Caps max 200k for 10-12 yrs experience in this field , this field gets worse as your experience increases , if you are in big tech and good , in software in faang or similar it can go upto 1 mill in 10 yrs, Canada is very small economy cannot accommodate high performance worforce
She is right ,the people who are unemployed or no hope in country,they can be ok in canada but jo log india well settled hai wo is bare mei soche ,life waha b eise he hai ,hardwork lage reho ,shifts mei labour work,then if good job hoge to u can settled
Excellent job, i hope a lot of folks can draw on ur experience and reach a more logical conclusion. Make ur own countries as good as Canada.....think on these lines too !
Very educative and invaluable message! Thank you very much for this necessary information! When we first came here, we had experienced everything you have mentioned and we faced it willingly. We don,t regret our decision to come here in the land of opportunities.

One Canadian friend said when she saw the photos, she said " I don't think you will leave your farm and come here" Somehow Her utterances came true. It's 12 years I am still in India and my family is in Canada. My is PRV is expired.
I will apply for renewal on humanitarian and Compassionate grounds.
If i live here I miss my family
If I go there I will miss being with all my plants.
I don't have that much money to make a huge green house Dome in Canada where I can keep all my plants and live there.
Call your family to india
Obsession with Gora and Firangi Countries is the Cause.🤩😄😃🤣😂
I've lived in Canada for 56 years and my Canadian born children couldn't stand the bitterly cold weather. They now live in California.
Do not come to Canada if you like warm weather and greenery. Canada is desolate and dreary.
Visited India countless times. Stay in India. India is beautiful.

India that is Bharat is the Best Country in the Entire World.👍👍👍👌👌🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
All the points are 100% Correct...Add some more points
1. Harsh weather
2. -40 Its more than sitting refrigerator freezer.
3. If your body doesn't bear cold or you get sick easily in home country because of weather change or coldness..
4. Then dont shift to Canada it will create more health issues even Anaemia or major other problems.
My brother's family is in Canada, and he told me not to come Canada it's hell expensive.. I'm in United States working after my graduation.. I've decided to stay in United States. My brother and his family will eventually shift to United States as well.. whatever u told is 100% true..
Best choice. If you can work in US do it. Canada is best to get passport
Hanji life style is really bad in Canada !!! And also no one who is struggling to survive have money or inclination for winter sports even !
Which job do you do? Or wo after graduation😳
In my experience, USA is worse the visas they offer are very restrictive. I wasn’t able to legally work or obtain pr there and I stayed for over 15 years. For me Canada has more opportunities
seriously🙁🙁🙁??!!
Plainspeak- Even if you are a doctor in your home country...be prepared to mop floors and clean bathrooms in Canada for atleast 2-3 years when you arrive !
Pathetic better to be Munnabhai
You explained very well to everyone, I was thinking the same thing, I was thinking of going to Canada, I live in France and I have a French passport, but when I saw your video, I changed my mind. Now I will never come to Canada so please make a video like this and tell people the truth so that they know what we think is not what we think. Thank you for making this video and for increasing my knowledge.
Best of luck!
France has a better economy why would you ever want to come to canada with a French passport
Amazing
hey canada is a good country , don't listen , find out yourself .
Wish everyone watches video n move to Australia and New Zealand
Very effectively and perfectly analyzed.. I have seen all these reasons very closely and I completely agree with your assessment
Realistic analysis with very simple way of explaining facts . Thanks Sanday for such a compact and comprehensive view.
This a worth of 20 minutes. Great points covering everything and clearly explained.
This is for everyone who wants to come to canada with out proper planning. Everyone should watch this. great video,
This is the kind of content we need. No bluffs, to the point.
Except in English so ALL people can generally understand.
Point #8 applies to me even when I got job in my own field. I am very impressed by the bullet point presentation and very straight talk by her! I liked her concluding remark at the end!
I am a Canadian citizen now and lived here for 10+ years. Also, lived in the US (4+ years) and UK (3 years). This video covers major issues in Canada. I like to add other factors based on my personal and other Indian colleagues and friends experiences in these countries.
Cons: Highest in Canada, then UK, and then the US. I have a PhD and Postdoc experiences in the Top #1-3 Rank universities in Canada, UK, and the US, and the work experiences are of mine and other people at these institutions.
Work opportunities: Discrimination based on the race, gender, religion (Sikhs and Muslims watch out!) and appearance (height, looks, etc.) will dictate getting a job, security, and promotion in R&D and managerial jobs. Immigrants are most to suffer from low salary, long work hours, low job security, burnout, depression, etc. The US IT sector has more opportunities as long as you can move (my spouse changed 7 jobs in 2-3 years and we had to move to different states/cities with a 1 month old baby). Other sectors like R&D are hard to get jobs but they are long-term jobs and do not have to move!
Healthcare: Health care in the US especially in big cities is best in the world but it is accessible only if you have a great insurance plan from your work. Otherwise, no one cares! Canada basic (not everything) health care is free but it takes months/years to get a doctor at the beginning, and after that they simply ignore their patients since they get paid no matter what. It is free and useless! In the UK, medical professions are more empathetic and very efficient to solve the critical health problems. Patients get discharge soon after surgeries since they don't have budget/beds/staff, etc.
Cost of living: Do not change country until the recession is over. Without Financial Credit History (must in US & Canada), renting or buying house, credit card, car rent/buy, etc. become even more expensive and new immigrants will not be able to cope.
India is better.
That was excellent but could you please tell me that how much is the waiting to move I am form Pakistan
Great review n suggestions

Great point!
You forgot mention these points:
- Colleges/universities not as good compared to in the US
- Less job opportunities
- Boring cities (except Toronto and Vancouver)
These are some of the reasons I left Canada and moved to the US. Good video though 👍🏾

How is the cost of living there in the US? In comparison with Canada
My son and daughter in law moved to Canada about 2 years ago on PR. Both of them are having MBA degree from a reputed management college and were working in MNC's in India. Initial period was very tough for them and even my son had to work in Wallmart for few days as helper for livelihood. Now both of them are working for reputed companies in Canada, and are easily managing their own house, 2 Cars and best life in Alberta despite high interest rates, minus 40 degree peak temperature and inflation. Guys before moving have a big heart to adjust yourself in adverse situations.
Indians in India don't understand how difficult it is to adjust to new country.
Every point on point. Must watch for those who dream to come to Canada.
Wonderful presentation.. Those who struggle in the first 2/3 years are are definitely settled well into their field. This is reality what the girl is saying.
Worth a million views, very realistic as millions of young people are planning to move to Canada
You are absolutely right ...your points are very genuine...my son now citizen of Canda living last 9 years...tell us the same ..which you told by video ....thnx for right information for those who ...wants to go Canada..
100% true.I came here after retirement to join my child.If your lives are not safe in your country due to unrest,only then think of leaving your country.Forget everything else.I used to attend 100 patients per day.Here I have to wait months to have an appointment from a doctor.They don't care diseases complicate with time.
Mam sach aapne to mere sir say Bhut hi utaar diya ..main apne bete ko canada Jane ko kehti rehti thi but aapki video dekhne sunney kay baad lag raha h India hi best h mam... thank you so much God bless you
nahin ,nahin , aisa kuch nahin hai .
Health care system in Canada is worst my friends mother needed MRI they gave her appointment after 3 month can you imagine. You Don't have to wait that much even if you want to get it done in PGI.
My mother needs knee replacement surgery. Waiting time is 2 years in Ontario. Canada is a failed country run by colonial bastards.
You can get in India same day in any worst government hospital
Is the healthcare system same in Australia too?
@@hopeofeternallife686 best in the world
Every single word u said is 100% correct. We moved to canada 3 years ago. Obviously without knowing the reality of canada as told in this video. Learned the truth hard way.
India is also good country to live if you do good education and work in IT industry.. companies are providing health insurance and provide high end package where one cannot get in Canada and US.. In my home country i am getting high package per month which i am not able to get in canada and US.. India healthcare is also very good
But quality of life and standard of leaving are also a big factos because of which Indian youth is migrating to foreign countries growth is very less and slow in india
I am Pakistani,but I totally agree with you

Winter weather of canada is worst as compared to India,I had spend 5 years in Toronto but due to bad weather I returned to my hometown in India.
Cold weather all the time?
I only had problems during the first year. Now I don't mind the winter

Many of my friends are leaving, and I'm thinking about it. Taxes are very high, Cost of living is very high, impossible to buy an apartment or a house, even a 100K CAD a year you'll still poor. Also the Canadian currency is lower comparing to US dollar or to Euro.

Same goes for any foreign countries Bro! I liked your comment which says 'What is the use of that money if you are not happy '
Love the post of pados ki chachi ka beta wahan par hai
Another important point most people must know is that if you are young and come here you might most probably adjust well enough - because everything is new and exciting . After a few years when the newness wears off the winter, unsocial culture, poor career progression, etc. will really make you miss your old life in India.
You guide so well, feel like u r a good teacher
Glad you think so!
I Really Appreciate Your Video. Thanks A Lot For Elaborating The Fact From Fiction, You're Saint Of This Present Era (I'm Not Joking At All) You Have Not Shown The Green Gardens Like Many Of The Agent Mafias & Other Vloggers. I'm Thankful To You For Showing The Right Picture.. Thanks 👍

Most accurate video I have seen so far… Canada is really hard for most of the people but no doubt it is a good country too..
I'm falling in love with your vlogs.... You are so real and relatable... And the points which you covered are so granular and basic which most people tend to forget. I'm currently a single working woman based in India and am planning to move to Canada for PR. Watching your vlogs is making me mentally, morally and financially prepared. You're doing a great job.. Thank you for all your guidance..
R u single
very nice presentation. I came to england, studied my masters, I traveled across quite a few places in western Europe, and then realised that there is no other better place than India for a comfortable living. I have seen the hardships of developed countries, and of India as well, but there is something in India which makes that place so good, and that's the same reason, why invaders through out the world came to this place to gain in some or the other way.
This is so helpful, thank you for making this. This is hardcore truth.
Very well explained Sandy !!! Living here for 18 years and still want to go back to India. Don't know how the new immigrants are surviving when everything is so unaffordable and salaries so low !

Great video. You shared some great points regarding loneliness and also work life balance. I have heard so many examples of people who moved due to a better work life balance in Canada but now they work in two or even three jobs due to high cost of living. It's ironical.
She is really a good analyzer and provide true facts.

Ma sha allah.. First ever heard much of the naked truth which is mostly untold.. In fact I am also thinking of spending other life to some other nation with less cost of living and stress free. I appreciate sister for such a nice presentation..
I listened your SANDY TALKS CANADA.I very much liked it because there is a True Strength in your narration speech. You erected the True facts of life. According to me, if someone has a patience always to live a life, there is always DIWALI. Thank you for giving guidance to coming generation in CANADA.
Your video depends upon reality but you didn't describe the problems of matrimonial.
Good and realistic presentation, specially students from rural Punjab suffers and struggles for their expenses and survival, hope people will be mentally prepared before leaving home country, they must watch this video thanks for sharing.
Particularly from Malwa region
Thanks for sharing your true feeling through this video which should be well acknowledged by those who are dreaming to go for Canada as permanent resident.
I agreed with her about Medical services...most of the western countries hospital's are bad. I stay in Australia for 5 years and the hospital's service are very slow have to wait long time. My husband have to wait for more 3 months just to check his teeth at Dentist. It is the same for New Zealand. My home country Malaysia medical services are better than Australia. Now my family's are back to Malaysia and we are happy here. My husband friends living in Canada also mentioned the same problem. It is better to stay in our home country if u have to suffer all that problems.
Sadly, not only Indian immigrants are leaving Canada. Both my Canadian born, professional children left on U.S. Green Cards seven years ago. They are now U.S. citizens living in Silicon Valley- Bay Area, California.
Entire USA is now becoming shit hole.
As an aside to financial hardships and homesickness immigrant children from South Asia are bullied and despised in high school. My neighbour's brilliant young son only 14, committed suicide a couple of years ago. Due to bullying
Very thoughtful,realistic, eye opening guidance Thanks to you

Marvellous inputs. I lived in Germany for over a decade and saw the winters there, which is rather mild by canadian winter standards and last just three months. I returned to India and wouldn't want to get back to live permanently in Germany or Canada, even for a million dollars. 😄

@@rmazim500Indian weather is chumma,even i hard to imagine my friends who migrate to canada how they survived where they belong to Gujarat whare Cold is not that much Canada is very harsh weather.
Very true and explained in very easy manner. Everyone should listen it before coming to Canada
Madam sandy, you have properly described the lifestyle of canada and day to day struggle of canada especially for new comers . Except heavy snow fall n cool climate, nothing should be hectic for them.
Nice informative video. Like that it is transparent about the challenges of moving to a new country
Couple points that I have noticed and would like to emphasize are:
1) You need to be ready to put in elbow grease/work physically. If you have been a spoilt brat back home then it's a given that living or studying in another country (where house-help is not available ) will be hard
2) Cost of living and taxes are higher. But these also facilitate better standard of living.
3) Flexibility matters in case of options/ choices in Food, accessories, necessities, work skills. Growing up if you have done chores, internships, picked up other associated skills will help in some way or the other in the long run: be it in socializing, finding work opportunities, volunteering
Sister you have explained reality. Great job
1. can have to do a labour job despite degrees & pr .
2. financial difficulties, have to do a lot of hard work.
3 high cost of living. 22-30% hike in grocery, most expensive plane of mobile ; 5-6% interest rate which used to be 1-2 %
4. waiting in the health care system even in an emergency.
dentistry treatment is so expensive,
5. snow for 5 months, winter depression
6. home sickness
7. no work life balance of immigrants.
8. high expectations
Not intending to come there but liked your sincerity

Explained very well. Touched on every issue. Good job. Thanks.
Appreciated, every one who wants to go to Canada must listen nd fellow.Thank you
Amazing video. The explanations are applicable for more or less every country.
Very well assessment of Canada,even I live in the US,but visiting canada
You didn't found any other Platform to .....😂🤣🤣
You are right why come here and get frustrated. If you don't have the ability to adjust and feel the environment around you, you are bound to fail. Don't come with your emotional baggage and your ego, you will do well.
First thing most newcomers do, is to acquire a brand new car and take it for a spin without knowing the dangers and rules of the land they are in. My advice - focus on your goals, not on shiny objects. Build a foundation and move up, and you will never go wrong.
Keep ur ego within kannada .
The weather itself is a huge minus factor,
Especially the winter months are the worst.
Tbh this video is most informative i have ever seen on yt…
Thank you so much 😊
So true for those desiring to migrate to Canada. Every word you spoke is nothing but "the truth"
We landed in Canada in December 1996 as two adults and three kids age from 8y to 1y. Luckily we understood what you have just mentioned in this video. We made it Alhamdolillah because we were firm that we are not going back and we had no plans to go on welfare or governmental supports. It was hard but step by step things started to go our way Alhamdolillah.
You did an excellent job.
(Brampton/Toronto/Canada.)
Thanks for sharing n determined not to go back native country
A.o.a sir......
As you said that you are still living in Canada and with family would you plz like to help me because I am also trying to migrate to Canada and I am really in need of good guide lines. I have four kids with me and they are from 9 years to 3 years. Plz if you feel comfortable then reply me
Life is tough here. Taxes are 41 % snd everything is taxed and double taxed. Food is impossibly expensive! You buy a few things snd it’s 100$!
We are so used to buying in bulk and making juices and stuff ! Here Pomegranate costs 2-3$!!
I’m stuck here as my son lived here but thinking of going back to Pakistan or another country ! Toronto only good for visits in summer!
We are Indians, you Pakistanis. Dont assimilate with us
With this money people r living in india but with little struggle
I left canada 40 yrs ago because of harsh weather. Little social life as I was single and as a youngster missing my parents
A very good crisp and detailed walkthrough to Canada ... 👍
Initially it’s a struggle for sure but things do get better and better with time and effort. Patience level is tested to the fullest in Canada.
Problem in Canada is jobs are very limited. I received Canadian PR in 2016 but decided to stay in US, since I had studied in US and was working in US, I had social circle there and also little to no opportunity in Canada. In 2019, I decided to relocate to India but couldn't adjust, I reapplied for Canadian PR came to Canada in December 2021, just for the Canadian passport. As I realized I cannot adjust back in India, and US won't give me its PR for at least 2 to 3 decades due to backlog for Indians.
I already gave interviews in India, and came to Canada with good job in hand which pays quite well, it's in my field at high level but not the work I did earlier. For example, suppose I am working in railway industry but in my past all my experience was in designing tunnels and how feasible is a railway line. Now it is like how to lay tracks, what plates to use. This was just an example to show my field in Canada is same but domain is different. And very limited jobs in Canada for my domain, most calls I get is from US.
Regarding spending money on expensive, unfortunately most of our North Indian brothers run on show-off. I make base of 170K CAD in Toronto but still find car of $40,000 expensive. But many people I know barely make $120K in Toronto and have purchased car worth 70 or 80K.
Base of 170K?? That's not just "paying quite well"! You alone are above most household incomes in Toronto.. Which role you work in bro?
@@harshalgaikwad8669 I work in a niche occupation. Even in India I was getting base of 40 lacs. The only reason I came to Canada was after spending a decade in US (Student + work), adjusting back in Indian system was a mess. I am in chip design. Many people make much more than me. Masters + 5 years of experience people in Amazon Toronto makes base of 180k+, along with stocks and variable of another 50K or so per year.
@@BlessUAL No idea. I am not in mechanical engineering. The example I gave of train/Railways was because even a non tech person understands that example.
If I start throwing technical terms in my specialization, and what I do and what I want to do, more than 95 % audience wont understand. So thats why i gave that small example.
May be selective 10% of lucky and skilled immigrants make that kind of money but the rest of Canadians make very less and suffers due to high COLA with increasing borrowing cost recently is making going even tough
@@rohanbansal9563 Semiconductor 5-10 yrs experience in india you will save same as 180k in Canada, US also Caps max 200k for 10-12 yrs experience in this field , this field gets worse as your experience increases , if you are in big tech and good , in software in faang or similar it can go upto 1 mill in 10 yrs, Canada is very small economy cannot accommodate high performance worforce
I have been in Canada for last 4 years, after moving here I have realised not all developed countries are land of opportunities just like USA.
Agree 👍
She is right ,the people who are unemployed or no hope in country,they can be ok in canada but jo log india well settled hai wo is bare mei soche ,life waha b eise he hai ,hardwork lage reho ,shifts mei labour work,then if good job hoge to u can settled
