Hi whats up what can i say i always wanted to live in canada and to study there instead of the US, i did so may research about canada for years since i felt in love with canada, i learned that canada is a multicultural country but when you talk about canada is expensive to live. In my opinion. Yes. i heard from someone who left canada to work in japan she an english teacher working in a Japanese elementary school she told me that Vancouver is expensive, the cost of living is higher in canada, the housing market is a mess in canada, and let's not forget about buying groceries in canada is very expensive too. This is why idon't want to move to canada anymore and to obtain a deal citizenship in canada. I choose to live in the US and to save money to move another country like japan, spain, or sweden.
Im planning on coming to canada as a student in 2025. Will i be able to stay in canada after my studies complete? (assuming i meet a minimum set of requirements)
Very very very accurate description of Canada (and Toronto in particular, where i am).... Especially when you talked about lower incomes vs higher cost of living, how people keep to themselves, travel challenges and the food scene! Very fair perspective and guidance.
The greater GTA is turning into one of the world's biggest slums Justine Turdno-Castro must be proud it's where the Civil War will start to destroy our country
excellent points, pretty complete, it doesn't apply to me as I'm born here, but your description is accurate. And language is very dependant on where you want to go. In Québec, french will be required, and here in Montreal, both french & english will be necessary. And a 3rd language is more and more required as well. I'm french-english bilingual since my teen years, so I don't have to worry about going in a store or talking to anyone in the street. Medical system is a mess right now (you already talked about nurses shortage)--the quality of care is excellent, but waiting times=baaaaaaad. Thanks for what you did, it could be useful to many future immigrants. Have a nice day.
If you are a professional in your home country (i.e. a doctor, engineer) and some Immigration Canada liaison has told you Canada needs people with your skills and that you can work in your chosen field when you get here do NOT believe it! You'll discover only AFTER you move here that this is not the case. For example, let's say you're a doctor - you will NOT be able to practice medicine in Canada because you don't have "Canadian experience". If you're a pharmacist you'll be lucky to get a job as a pharmacy assistant. For the record, I am not an immigrant. I was born and raised in Canada and have lived here all my life. However, it makes me sick that our government lies to would-be immigrants about their job prospects just to trick them into moving here. I think it's appalling that they trick people into uprooting their families and lives to move here based on lies and false promises.
it depends on a case by case basis. For instance, if you're a doctor, it's not lack of " Canadian experience" that will prevent you from practicing medicine, it's the local licensing and certification laws. Same for all regulated professions. Most regulated professions have a high demand for professionals, however, it takes at least 3-5 years for newcomers to meet the requirements to certify in Canada and get a license. We hope resources like our channel will help would-be immigrants conduct proper research and come prepared and with realistic expectations.
Very informative video. I am a US PR and just became a Canada PR through express entry. I may just stay in America, based on what I see here I would choose the American way on most of these things on the life stage i al. Maybe later in life Canada will be better.
Im on the process to move to Canada.. half or myself is excited but the other half feel scare with what people share.. that many didn’t succeed and leave Canada
wishing you all the best in your journey! It looks like you're doing research already and that will help you prepare well and avoid the most common mistakes newcomers make. This already sets you ahead of 80%! Determination, resilience, research and a little of networking are your friends!
I will advice you to reconsider your decision of moving to Canada, I have been here for 16 years in Edmonton, Alberta. I studied here high school from grade 9 to 12, I went to Nait for a year didn't finish my program of Chemical Engineering Technology due to Covid, so I went back into trades as a carpenter framer. I have worked all my life in this country, you pay taxes on your income, you pay sales and goods tax, you pay carbon tax, you pay property tax, and many other taxes and very soon, you'll be paying tax for the air you breathe.. you are taxed to death, a lot of people are struggling living paycheque to no paycheque, it is very expensive, and too cold. Canada is not the country that you think it is. I earn an average salary in Canada and the federal income tax including CPP and EI deducted from my pay every two weeks is greater than my monthly rent, I'm serious. Rent here is ridiculous and mortgage is a total scam..to thrive here is almost impossible even if you pick up a second job, the government is still gonna tax you on that unless it's a cash job. all of your hard earned money are being wasted on taxes and rent, if you think I'm wrong, come and check it out for yourself. you may be able to survive here but that's it. Canada is not a paradise and definitely not the land flowing with milk and honey as many claimed, don't be fooled by those benefits that the government gives to immigrants when they arrive in Canada. it's all scam, there are no opportunities and there is no career development in Canada. we have cold temperatures ranging from below 15 to - 40 in winter and in the summer temperatures like plus 30 to 40 degrees. the government doesn't care about their own citizens but just to overtax them and make their lives harder and miserable, so you as an immigrant, what make you think that the government of Canada care about you. think about that. It's hard and expensive to live here.
This advice is so generic. Moving to a country is not just about.language, weather and the industry you work in. Its about how you feel, the people and what you make of your time there. Thats what life is truly about.
Good point. That's why we talk about the things that will influence how you feel and what to expect from people and your time here. The rest is personal and only a viewer can answer.
Perhaps you've been lactose intolerant all along but have been eating cheeses that contain low amounts of lactose. Some cheese could contain multiple times more lactose than others. As far as I know, soft cheeses contain the most, and hard cheeses contain the least amount of lactose. But of course, if you want to be certain, look up how much the given type contains and try and see, how much you can handle :)
I've learned all about it after I became lactose intolerant here in Canada. Goat cheese is my go-to. Cheese is actualy less of a problem, milk and cream are a much bigger problem 💩
Good video! I think you did not mention about the sports in Canada!!! Here is hockey and Canadian football!!! If you like any other sport is a little bit difficult and expensive to practice! Cheers
hi from China, since our economy in its downturns, our govt propaganda they propaganda everyday about the rest of world economy isn't great too, layoff everywhere , it's difficult to find a job, in Canada even minimum wage job it's difficult to find one, is it true ?
It depends on a lot of things. Generally, housing and job market are challenging. Everything mostly depends on 1) how much in demand your profession is, your experience, networking 2) how much money you bring - more money will always give you better housing. Theres no shortage of expensive housing in Canada.
Not to defend Trudeau, but people are giving him too much credit. Every developed country is going through similar turmoil as Canada, so we’re not that unique.
@@MakeThatChange Yes but he is giving away billions to other countries from our pockets and he let a tremendous number of immigrants in without having a housing plan for them and for residents creating a budget deficit and a housing crisis never seen before. I think the evidence is there.
I tried to reply and unfortunately You Tube erased my comment :( And I didn't even say anything nasty. But overall, this administration has had billions in expenses in the back of all Canadians and basic needs are unaffordable. I think that despite that it is true that the whole world is dealing with inflation, we have the worst administration in the G7.
Good points. But very generic and therefore, generally more un-true than true..in my opinion. Been a PR since 2004 and citizen since 2009 so I think I know a few things about the country
@@MakeThatChange Thanks. I'd actually love to. Just don't know how much I can type here. hehe. Very simply put, now I feel like the country just tries to scam people with false advertising throughout different countries. Wonder if I can convey my thoughts in some sort of a formal format with you two? if possible
All the same things to consider discussed in this video apply to any other country, from language and culture to economic situation and job opportunities. The world is your oyster.
In other words. Canada is a woke dumpster fire with no housing and healthcare right now, but please come here, we need more people to pay our massive debt.
@@davidstevens8122 This is one matter I'd be happy to be wrong about. However, just today I stumbled upon a video that explains why IMF figures look the way they do. You can try finding that video and watch if you're interested. It's called "IMF Says Canada Has Lowest Debt to GDP Among G7 Countries....REALLY?"
The most honest RUclips channel on the subject. Yes the cost of living sucks but I have no doubt we will figure it out once we get our demographics in balance. Growing pains are hard but Canada will still be one of the best countries to live in the future.
Glad to see some people are still positive about immigration in Canada.

Thanks alot, really I appreciate your advices ❤🙏, great, I can come so 😄
Thank you - all the best!
As I have gotten older:
I have become allergic to warmth.
Where can Canadians move to? 😅 its getting expensive and very overcrowded in job markets. The taxes are also getting insane.
Any third world country could use some first-world expertise. So many countries to choose from!
@@MakeThatChange 😂 please move to Egypt
That was a good answer.. cheeky but honest and correct.
Has a canadian if you love high inflation and high taxes come to canada!

Largely depends on your field of study and whether you can settle in an indemand profession
@@MakeThatChangeim trying to get a degree in business. specifically business administration.
Unlike with restaurants, most people cannot just choose the most suitable country for their taste.
it's mentally difficult, but not impossible
@@MakeThatChange I meant that not every country has accessible immigration programs.

If you're thinking of moving to Canada. STOP that insanity right away.
This was such an amazing video. I loved how concise it was and yet you managed to touch upon all the important points. Kudos to the both of you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Consider THIS If You're Thinking of Moving to Canada
-DON'T
