They have figured out our scam.
Ha ha that's funny, times are tough all over, bunch of whiners who need history lessons, when was life cheap? Ask any older person and they'll tell you it was always expensive after all of they're old (I'm 62, been a stay at home mom for 28 yrs so crap pension , I'm a chick forest technician from Montreal, we all know the men in charge give a rat's ass to harvest properly 🔥🔥🔥)... Our wants are many our needs are few... Nature pays for any development! 😮😢😊
Thanks for the truth
Exactly! They could not pull the wool over the immigrant eyes.
😅
Nice try but we, the citizens, did not vote for this and in typical Monarchy style, had no real choice in the matter. The government lies to them and us. Canada is a constitutional Monarchy. The constitution is being ignored and we have a person in office and a finance minister who see themselves as the king and queen respectively. It's It's new-age feudal system, the original citizens are surfs and the immigrants are surfs who can't vote.
NOT moving to Canada was the best decision in my life.
Having moved to Canada is the worst decision in my life.
@@DriQ-qo7tpwhy ? what happened to canada ?
It's still the destination of choice for Brits leaving the UK, trying to escape the annual influx of economic migrants & refugees that both the Conservative & Labour party elite politicians benefit from. While worshipping at The Church Of Multiculturalism on any given Sunday. 🇬🇧🇨🇦🙄

Canada has become a disgrace. I am actively trying to leave. Born and raised here. Too sick of the crime and increase in government influence in everyday life
Go where your ancestors came from, you will probably find yourself feeling much better there. It worked for me.
@@OsamaBinKevo My ancestors are from Canada, like all the way back before Canada was even "discovered"...
So where am I supposed to go?
The Indian diaspora here in Canada go back to India for better healthcare, go back for better housing, go back for better career growth, go back for better family life, even for better schooling. So why come here at all! Things are not the same as 10 years ago!
lot of them think that immigrating to Canada opens the doors to US.
Its easier to pull scams in Canada. When you live in India, you're playing in the big leagues: Major League Scamming.
Cam you really blame them?
Even multi-generational Canadian travel to places like Mexico for cheap (and quick) access to health services.
@@selvaduraipriya-yh8yg not true anymore to a large extent. I am canadian , returned to India 5 months ago. Visiting government hospitals for a relative, over crowded at times but surprisingly things getting done well in time. Patient care much improved...
Canada's wait is maddening. Nursing care too bad in canada hospitals. Some racism in hospitals.
All in all, after six years in canada - I think India is afterall not that bad.
India does not do dual citizenship so some are stuck with Canadian citizenship, I feel sorry for them to have stuck in this cold country.
Canadian real estate is like playing musical chairs. If you don't have a chair when the music stops, you are out...
@jovnieNot really, whenever music stopped, new players are joining and old players could join again. That's not how musical chairs works.
Never mind the immigrants.
The local Canadian citizens who have been here 10-20 years can't even afford a place .
Wages aren't keeping up with inflation.
Lack of good paying jobs, that is why people have two jobs just to make ends meet.
More people are ending up homeless.

@@cinpeace353 local people are not good with their finances if they have not brought their property earlier. It's too late to think about buying now as it has already gone over the roof.
@@Canucks_swag It is time to learn, never too late. Start a bi-weekly PAC (Pre-authorized Cheque) to start investing, keep it a habit as soon as young people having a first job, even saving $50 every two weeks help. It gives the effect of Dollar Cost Averaging to lower the risk.
I lived in Canada for 15 years, got my passport and moved to US. Very happy with job opportunities and growth
Congrats! That’s very true!
oh no, we miss you so......maybe you should pay back the tax dollars you used up getting and being here for the two years.
AND...content with dodging bullets, I suppose?
@lisadugger9097 what tax dollars, tax dollars are being sent to Ukraine, Isreal and all those countries Canada is sending billions to and on the welfare bumbs who doesn't want to work, people who have a job in canada doesn't benefit from anything but are subjected to the highest paying taxes.
Great I glad you moving. 🎉 we don’t need you! Have fun wherever you decided to move
Quality of life in Canada is low and the suicide rate is high 🤷
Child suicide rates are some of the highest in the world and no public discourse about it. Disgusting place really

Good question!
I am a Canadian and I am thinking of leaving, maybe to the States. As a Senior Engineer with 15 years of experience, I cant afford to purchase a home on single income.

Health care system in Canada is great????? My elderly mother was left to die, If it wasn't for a credit line she had on her condo to get her treated in Buffalo, New York at "Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center" she would've died, cost of treatment $160,000 US. YOU DEFINITELY HAVEN'T USED THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN CANADA, PLEASE DON'T SAY IT'S GREAT, THAT'S MISLEADING. The Health Care System in Canada is excellent at offering MAID "Medical Assistance in Dying" when you're old and sick. She's alive and doing well, thank you USA. She paid taxes all her life and got nothing for it besides MAID. Justin Trudeau is giving billions of dollars to the world and the environment but he's forgetting the people who paid all their life into this useless and abusive taxation system.
Amen!
still a lot better than third world countries such as Bangladesh,Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Absolutely right
Even Canadians are leaving Canada
Native Americans : it's time to take back our land
LOL, they'll kill us all before they loosen their grip! And even if we somehow survived, the U.S. would be waiting for the mop up!
Healthcare system great? In Canada?! what planet do you live in?
Can we add justice system to that? Robert Picton is eligible for bail tomorrow?!! Gives me chills how ridiculous Canadas laws are.
Maybe better than Lithuania where he's from.
He obviously was paid to say this. I'm not joking either.
@@user-ij9tz1df5f Lithuania being in the EU he can live permanently in any country there with much superior healthcare to Canada. He's being too polite, and young and healthy and likely didn't get to know how horrendous Canada's healthcare is - as is so much else about the country.
We did have a terrific healthcare system! Before Justin Trudeau started bringing in millions of people that take out but don’t put in. Now it’s collapsing like all of Canada’s infrastructure is.
Canadian born and raised millennial here. Escaped Canada a few years ago for the US and live a much better and wealthier life. Can't see myself ever moving back to Canada.

God bless the United States of America. Canada sucks
Canada has been complacent for decades. The chickens have come to roost.
Kudos for this man for putting it simply. Canada is a great place to live...if you can find a place to live.
Native Canadians are leaving, too.
Canada's biggest problem, other than Trudeau/Singh being in charge is that there are only a few major cities that people gravitate to. If the boundaries were pushed outside of Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, things may become more affordable. All the land in between Toronto and Windsor. The issue is it would take companies expanding to these places.
Sounds like the South Korean issue.
@@UXtatic maybe the geography part but South Korea doesn’t have Trudeau so they are better by default 😂
Big cities on coasts. Inland is called poor.
no thanks they can stay in the big cities FAR away from me. it still looks like Canada where I live and I'd like it to stay that way

Try the UAE. It's come a hell of a long way. No income taxes nor capital gains taxes. Your hustle is 100% yours. Very expat friendly and will become a major hub for finance, tech and many other industries due to their off shore tax free program.
try indonesia. it's cheap. sell everything. if you have $500k will be equivalent for 8 billion rupiah. govt bond give you around 6% of year which you can have around 40 million idr per month. that pretty much the salary of a manager here.
It has been obvious for a while now that immigration of any kind is no longer beneficial to Canada or in many cases for the immigrant. Housing is out of control expensive and the health care system has deteriorated to alarming levels as there are not enough doctors or nurses or beds to handle the preseent population. Now the prices for food, fuel and most other things have become increasingly expensive and with inflation and interest rates being a concern the issues are pressing from every direction. To be blunt, we do not need any more people entering the country for a few years until more housing can be built, more hospitals can be built, more doctors and nurses hired and inflation and interest rates brought under control. There is evidence that the economy is going to join the party as far as things to worry about and available jobs could lessen, not a good thing.
Yeah, so if a husband is waiting to bring his wife and kids over. Screw it, he can wait longer. This commenter says no.
Immigration isn't that simple (even if you are).
Not every immigrant needs a house.... They're moving in with family or their employer provides housing. Many immigrants are filling those jobs that you say are vacant. Your food prices aren't getting cheaper because there's less immigration, stop conflating the two.
Unfortunately, all our politicians are only talking about affordability problem, in reality, they are more concerned about real estate prices going down. It is a card tower capable of burying entire economy not just someone’s political career. Nobody wants to deal with all the mess.
@@lizliz4186 Allowances can be put in place for family members joining previous immigrants. Employers providing housing for workers is not something that happens much, even for temporary workers let alone permanent immigrants. The pressure on housing and health care is real and is affecting all Canadians not just new immigrants. Food prices are just another area that is making life more unaffordable and so more difficult for everyone including the new arrivals. Housing cannot be built fast enough at this point to alleviate the problem so a pause in immigration would seem to be a good idea to allow all areas of the issue to be fixed.
@@lizliz4186
Immigration has always, and still is a positive and welcomed policy.
Unfortunately a corrupt University and College system from within Canada has allowed hundreds of thousands to enter through an unregulated back door.
Canada has become a country that doesn't enforce their laws or policies, and the whole world knows it.
Our govt has been asleep at the wheel or just doesn't care.
This is a much different country than it was 10 years ago, standard of living isn't anything like what the last generation of immigrants experienced.
Once this current govt is voted out I look forward to the new govt restoring immigration to the same levels of ALL other previous governments.
This govt felt the need to double the amounts without building one home and to let our profit based corrupt post secondary institutions run wild.
Canada absolutely and unequivocally benefits from immigration - but not in the way most people think.
The modern Canadian immigration system is a Ponzi scheme.
Why is the healthcare system considered great? It's truly appalling. I had to wait 8 hours for my son to see the doctor at a Children's Hospital for a check-up on his diarrhea, and the doctor only needed five minutes to complete the entire examination. I've never encountered such a terrible healthcare system anywhere on this planet.
Maybe look up home remedies for diarrhea on the internet? I'm guessing the doctor was shocked you apply common sense.
It is a fact....I've waited 6 and 8 hours for 2 visits in 2 weeks...and the 2nd was a follow up appointment!
@@khaeyenen3163 can you order a Lab test without needing a health provider? can you define the exact type of diarrhea without testing stool? 🧐
Nothing is free. :)
We are 2 Canadians that fled Canada Oct 2021 for Mexico and it was the best decision we ever made. Good luck to anyone trying to get out. ✌🏽💖
I strongly urge my Canadian born children to seek opportunities in the US once they finish university. Canada is no longer a land of opportunity that it once was.
Your thinking is part of the reasons why Canada can't grow and compete.
You want your children to have a good life, Canada can't grow or compete because we have fools in charge. @@codzymajor
@@codzymajor Poor government & policy are making Canada less and less competitive.
Not me, my daughter's a biologist, while at uni she moved out against my wishes, she did a burn out upon entering the workforce and got covid too, beyond mad at my reminder.... When haven't people who were taken care of by their parents not ahead of the game? My son's a registered nurse as is his girlfriend but work in other fields, I'd worry daily if they were in the states, all more fantasy land, they move away they'll be trading one set of problems for another, I love when we're able to help our kids out and there's more incentive to stay in our overly ridiculously priced Pointe Claire home knowing they can visit their own childhood homes and maybe one will live one day!
land of opportunity or not ? it is not an important matter. The main things is that canada soon gonna be an iislammic country. So b4 shhariah law comes, better leave canada.
The main problem is once you go through the long process of getting a college degree (computer science in my case and 3 years of help desk experience), I don’t get more calls, I don’t get interviews and I get the anxiety that comes with seeing everything getting more expensive, bills pilling up and no income entering the account. It’s dreadful, to see everywhere that computer science is in demand and you have to sleep scared shitless of going homeless. I don’t know if it’s because I’m Hispanic, my skin tone something in the water. I’m not staying in Canada. I’ve been living in Canada for 30 years. Now I’m leaving Canada for an Hispanic Country. In Canada homes are not affordable, I don’t get jobs opportunities even thou the market is statistically healthy, and everything is getting more, and more expensive.
Yet all over where I live there's 18-30 year olds driving around in cars that cost $30,000-$80,000 in mods. Crazy times, not one of them has white skin!
@@Itsgone99 moving to SPAIN. I'm burning my savings during the transition. SPAIN IS A Digital Nomad Haven.
I was born here but I don’t recognize my country anymore, I want to leave 😢
I'm one of them.
I landed in October of 2022 as a skilled immigrant, and stayed for a month before returning home to finish off some work commitments.
I haven't returned since, and I don't think I will. I have a decent house, good career prospects/business opportunities back home, and I can take a vacation abroad or travel domestically for fairly cheap multiple times a year.
Free/subsidised government healthcare isn't the best (not the worst either) but we also have private hospitals/clinics that are relatively affordable and fairly quick to access.
Furthermore many other immigrants I know living there are telling me that they are planning on leaving as well.
The cost of living in major Canadian cities is no joke. I feel for the people born there who don't have other options.
Yeah I am one of them and my ancestors came in 1867 to canada and it is not country my ancestors built.If I could immigrate I would and get out of this country.

Not just immigrants. My great grandfather came here in the 1920's. I find myself working to pretty much pay high taxes and a mortgage. I don't have much left enjoying life. I got plans to leave Canada soon and finally LIVE LIFE.
My cousin, who has seven years of engineering experience, came to Canada for further studies. After completing the course and waiting for six months, he was unable to find a job. However, upon returning to India, he secured a good job with a high salary within seven days. Despite this success, he returned home burdened with a significant student loan.
With Asia booming, he will be okay
The decline of western society is apparent
So he used our educational system and is contributing nothing to our society in thanks. I understand leaving, I suppose, but that's nothing to brag about bc despite international student rates, all education here is paid for our tax dollars to some point.
@@paulinegauthier1867 he paid 40k cad to your economy which he earned in Indian rupees, paid rent , paid for food and tips .

@@paulinegauthier1867 fyi international student fees are very high. Now you will know nobody coming to Canada, you lazy people do not work and want free money sitting at home. He has paid enough for this country by way of tuition.
I migrated to Canada more than 30 years ago, and about 20 years plus, I was offerred a very good job in the US, and the company offered to apply the green card for me, and as a single parent with a young child, I do not want to take the rise; moreover I wanted my son to have a French education, that he could get it free in Canada. When looking back, I regretted for not accepting the offer; but on the bright sight, my son had all his Canadian university education on scholarship and currently he has moved and living in the US.

When you have a PM and finance minister that are working for WEF and not the people is it a surprise everyone is leaving ?
An immigrant (aka landed immigrant) is someone who has permanent resident visa.
An international student (aka foreign student) is NOT an immigrant as he/she has a temporary student visa.
An international student might have a chance to become a landed immigrant once they graduate (but it is NOT a guarantee).
A student visa does not automatically make you a landed immigrant.
It's actually quite surprising that many people do not know these distinctions. Then again, there are individuals in this comments section blaming the recent influx of Indian "immigrants" who come here to study are also of Palestinian decent and are the people who are protesting to free Palestine.
I'm sure they probably also believe Indian immigrants (who are also Palestinian protesters apparently) are responsible any time there is an issue on the TTC, why they can't get a job, and why it snowed this week in the GTA.

In Australia 10-15 migrants are having to share a house, due to massive shortage of rental properties, they are nothing more then slave labour, to fill the underpaid underskilled jobs us Aussies refuse to do, its a giant scam, these migrants are being treated worse then dogs, I presume it's the same in Canada.

Arbitrary immigration targets are simultaneously increasing demand and suppressing wage growth. There are better ways to control immigration. I would suggest demand based approach with some guard rails in place. For instance, I would require all educational institutions to provide housing for international student (at least 50%). Businesses should be required to provide accommodation to all temporary/seasonal workers on top of the minimum wage. In order to hire foreigners employers should be required to prove that they are paying enough to afford housing in the region (market cost of accommodation is less than 30% of salary). Accommodation for refugees should be secured before bringing them to the country from around the globe. No accommodation = no permits. It would limit demand and prevent wage suppression.
I like your suggestion and analysis
Good ideas. Have you considered a career in politics? Canadian political arena needs more thinkers and problem solvers like yourself
@@lorie371 , thank you for your suggestion.
I met some of these people in Thailand after COVID. There was a small group of Chinese who kept to themselves at our hostel. One day I overheard them in Chinese repeatedly talking about my country Mexico which got me to talk with them. They were quite happy to learn I could speak Chinese but more excited to learn I was from Mexico. They started asking me a bunch of questions about crossing the border into the US to which I bluntly told them I had no idea about and discouraged it. I asked where they got these crazy ideas from and they said that people were posting videos and tutorials of how to cross into the US online. The Chinese government hard handed approach to COVID was what made them leave. They wanted to go both for the freedom and economic benefits but they had a very naive and overly optimistic view of the US. They saw the high wages US workers were making but had no idea as to the incredibly high living costs associated with living there. I tried explaining that there was a housing shortage and that their expectations for life in the US would set them for disappointment but they either didn't believe me or brushed off my criticism. I also tried encouraging them to go to German or Australia instead (places which I feel would be better and easier for them to enter) but they seemed dead set on just going to the US. Unfortunately I don't know where they are now as Wechat is blindly and constantly blocking and deleting accounts in SE Asia without reason
The cost of living crisis is not nearly as bad in the USA

Some Canadians want to also leave…… taxes and quality of affordable living working and life balance…..spent early 20s to early 50s working 60-80 hrs per week and only now realized that all that hard work hasn’t paid off enough for early retirement or a wealthy retirement. Being a generational Canadian we often don’t see the struggle early enough and are told hard work pays off……..it does until you find yourself asking yourself what was all that for, worked and worked to give the government more than you give your family. I would not want to immigrate to Canada.
Your problem is NOT Canada per se, but instead is your lack of the "right" kind of connection to the "establishment". Look at those consultants and contractors for the ArriveCan and other lucrative government IT projects, how much have they made in a year and how many hours have they worked in a day? To these people, Canada is a paradise in every sense of this word!
Retirement is laughable in Canada. Pay into them for years and it's a joke when you find out the amount you will receive. Absolutely no retirement for many in the same boat as me.
Sounds like you didnt invest your money wisely.. 30+ years and nothing to show for it?
@@berrex5152 I wouldn’t exactly say that my kids have gone through college with no debts because of my diligence in working hard to save for their education, we are lucky to have afforded ourselves a home over that time, put away for retirement as much as we could. We were not frivolous or extravagant in spending outside of day to day living, vacations are few and far between because of our intended goal to have the time to travel in retirement. I like many are just stating the fact that we work hard and do our best but we do see Canada is not an affordable place to live as our tax burden is high and those high taxes will eat into your retirement too. I guess if a person were to have the opportunity to educate themselves and look from the outside inward at Canada. They would see there are many alternatives to this country that make sense, in hindsight I could have done a better job in that aspect but I am fortunate enough to recognize it and plan to make alternate plans not to be here if we so choose. Thank you for your comment.
Mass immigration has detrimental effects on the country's standard of living and not actually racist?!?!?!?!
Canada sounds very expensive. New Zealand rent is unbelievably high too, $600.00 per week is the cheap rent. It is crazy.
Aren't the salaries high too?
in my third world shithole I pay 100 bucks for an apt.... And live like king
lmao $600 is nothing.
Min wage is $23.15 in new zealand and there are kiwi fields to work. The minimum wage is $16.50 in Canada and no job
@kathy8032 minimum wage is $23.15 and you can work 24 hours in kiwi fields.
No job but when I am applying for a house or apartment, all landords ask if I am full time employed. Canada is hell. No reason to live here anymore.
Exactly! I live the same situation, too much , application for rent... paystub.....Canada for immigration and all time a new immigrant . Honesty I am leaving as soon possible
I am in Canada for 17 years and I love this country. It literally saved my life. Although I have to admit that it is a matter of surviving nowadays. My husband is a senior piping designer and he can't find a job for more than a year and was on and off the job for last 6 years. I am an internationally trained doctor and I can't find anything for myself. I can't afford pursuing my profession as it's too expensive and takes years with no certainty thag you will even get into industry. So I'm looking for all other jobs. But I'm either overqualified or don't have Canadian experience. So we have money just for a few months to survive... With 2 kids it's even more stressful... We barely can afford our rent... And we can't go back home as we left it so many years ago, no connections for job there too. So we really just pray everyday...
God will provide ! I'm a low income senior and I have to move because the rent is so high now, and there is no rent geared to income. I am using the food bank like so many seniors now. In answer to my prayers, I now have a new place to live for half the rent I was paying ! A Christian man is renting out his nice basement apartment to help people in need ! So I am the recipient of his gracious offer ! Dont give up ! God will provide !

You should have a job lined up before entering any country.
@FA-kt3is Don't know what a "senior piping designer" is. Would that be Engineering or Graphics or Fashion? Sounds like your husband would do better at getting a job doing anything rather than waiting for the "plum" job of his choice if he, (or you), can't afford to live in Canada or take care of your children without social/Employment assistance. If you are an internationally trained doctor & can't pass the Canadian College of Physicians & Surgeons exams then you have aren't trained well enough to practise medicine in Canada. There are other choices, (although perhaps lower choices in your books), for you with medical training. You could become an RN & work up to being an NP & then MD. Or become a Care Aide & move up from there. If you aren't working & your husband isn't working much then you have time to take classes. If you don't have "Canadian Experience" then you need to start volunteering in Canada to have some "experience" to put on your resume. If nothing else then provide a daycare service 16 hrs/day to make some extra income to save to get the accreditation you think you deserve. Now why couldn't you have thought about all these solutions? Or done them already....if you really want to live in Canada?
This guy is a professional student and won't ever make a meaningful contribution to the workforce.
I was just thinking this guy is going to have a really hard time getting a job that pays anything. Wish him well though.
I've been here for 13 years and I'm planning on leaving as well. It was good at first but now things are getting far more expensive than the increase wages.
Here is where?
Lool 13 years ago Canada was already shit. You have to go back 40 years for any good times
Move. I can help you packing your stuff. This country is too big for you

Total lie! Moving to Canada was a mistake as a professional. They’re recruiting professionals but don’t offer much to them. I regret moving as a doctor but fewer opportunities
We fled in 2021 best decision we ever made, get out while you can.
My parents immigrated to Canada years ago and had a completely different experience. It's kinda sad to see how things have changed.
Don’t take an engineering job in America: layoffs will make it certain you will never have health insurance, be able to pay off a mortgage, or maintain a comfortable lifestyle. Engineers are a dime a dozen.
Trade low paid jobs😢😂
If engineers are a dime a dozen aren’t they in demand? I have engineer in my family and math minded people.
Engineers are like bears. They're mostly on contracts. They scavenge what they can then go on hibernation 😂😂😂

@@robertmoray988 he's finishing his PhD so technically he's smart. Maybe just not practical.
Can you show me the way to San Hoseir OBVIOUSLY
@@CaptApril123 You don't need to be smart to finish or start a Phd, (remember it stands for Piled Higher & Deeper). Most of these people rely on others to carry them through & also to take care of their spawn. I'm speaking from personal experience, (had a good friend who got a phd....stupidest person alive except in one single area in one single sector). These people are too dumb to survive but they can get PhD. (ps: I've dumped her as a friend because of her taking advantage of everyone/thing around her). They also don't contribute to community or society but expect everything for free despite what they agreed to before hand. My experience from up close & also watching from afar.
Not just immigrants are leaving... Canadians are also saying sayonara. I spent most of my life in Canada and recently left.
Same we left Oct 2021 we are enjoying life in Mexico now.
It is not canada anymore!! It looks like an indian province 😢
which cities ?
Well it use to look Indian before that. Feathers not Dots
Why are you crying
When there will be a news story about: Canadians born and from here are struggling?
Always about foreigners and refugees… 🙄
One thing: People who fought for their rights had their bank account blocked. That's enough.

This guy makes no sense canada is great but he is leaving and healthcare is great what is he talking about. Homelessness in Canada is through the roof, the amount of people living in tents and shelters.
If you are an addict you live in a tent. I don't know anybody who leads a normal life, works and lives in a tent. So, please stop spreading lies.
Canadian trained medical doctor ! Left the country as soon as I graduated from residency! Good luck
Retirees are also leaving. With the exchange rate with the Canadian dollar, people's retirement savings go much farther in a third-world country than living in Canada. Besides, healthcare for seniors is likely going to get much worse in Canada over the next decade.
Health care for seniors is MAID now 😊
Been working in Canada for 11 years now. Used to be a safe place to live but not anymore. The health care system is stupid, more more taxes, the rent is so high, everything is ridiculously expensive. Now i am sending all my money back home, and leaving Canada in a year
Excellent job
You will regret later leaving Canada
I’m leaving after 6 years. The government is less corrupt, healthcare is better, housing more affordable and the lifestyle 100x better where I came from!
Where did you came from
It’s very difficult for newcomers with education and professions in their home country to get professional jobs here. A lot of former doctors, teachers, engineers, etc. end up working at Walmart or driving cabs. Yet, we often have shortages in those very professions.
Because of false and fake degrees
I wouldn't trust those highly skilled professions coming from 3rd world.
Because those highly skilled doctors bribed their teachers to pass them, all fake degrees and fake people I wouldn't want them operating on me.
It's because Canada doesn't do innovation and doesn't need engineers.
Canada imports everything from US manufactured at places 1 hour across the border. Canada has just warehouses and trucking not alot of manufacturing. It's just a very big distribution yard for products from China and US.
The HR system in Canada has alot of fake jobs to show the management that HR is busy and the incompetent HR professionals in Canada would rather hire someone with a degree in psychology as an engineer than someone with 2 degrees in engineering. Most of the engineering managers in some of the companies in Canada doesn't even have a degree and most of them have a GED.
@@HPSGamingTech well said 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A indian student left his home country to studies and seeking a better life in UK. Three years later he find himself living on the streets at Chelse as a homeless. Sad sad.

I am a Canadian. It is too expensive for the majority of people. Oh Canada what have you become ??

As skilled migrants understand the ‘nation building’ scam, Australia is rapidly joining the Canadian Club 😂😂 …as standards of living drop in Canada and Australia, highly skilled and well qualified migrants/international students will go where their investment in skills/tertiary quals reaps higher gains. I left Australia and moved to the US after 20 years - and at first I thought it was just me …but there are tons of people escaping the diminishing fake economies of Canada and Australia 😮
The original issue was too much immigration but no one was talking about it until now.
Well, if we did we were told we were racist.
Try being blonde haired, blue-eyed and telling people that we need to "stand up for our culture"....
Yeah....
Immigration is the low hanging fruit. I'm not saying it's not an issue, I'm just saying it's more of a symptom but an easy target when it comes to blame
@lilianmaina4248 not at all.
I think it was 3 years ago, a Maple Ridge town hall was to take place.
They sent out flyers to the folks in the district. The flyer told residents they MUST know Mandarin in order to attend or they won't understand what's being said.
Do you think the east Indians and the other Vietnamese appreciated that request? Do you think they went? If they did go, will what they say be considered?
We did not e force our culture, our way of life, and in doing so, we have allowed multiple CLASHING cultures to take hold in Canada.
I think I was 13 when I started reading "The Province" paper. That's when I got to hear, every couple months, of some "over seas" family hunted down their child's boyfriend or girlfriend and ended them. Sometimes both their kid AND their significant other.
That's not what we do here.
Do you think any of these cultures can agree on "which soccer team gets the good field"? Let alone what's best for our countries future?
Considering most of them are sending their money BACK out of Canada, destroying our economy, immigration is NOT the low hanging fruit.
It's the entire tree.
@lilianmaina4248 anybody who thinks this is "low hanging fruit" has not put much consideration or thought in to the issue.
Just this summer, my kid befriended an east Indian kid that just "appearred" out of nowhere.
Second day here, and he and his mom are homeless, picking apples from orchards in the area for food.
They asked to sleep in our backyard in a tent until they found a house.
They were told they would have everything they need when they arrived.
She almost lost her kid.... she believed the lie.
She found a job at a liquor store, but that's not what she was promised.
We are building about 30,000 homes a year, and bringing in 500,000-800,000 people a year. We have a massive housing crisis that the entire world is watching and talking about, yet the solution is to bring more immigrants?
It's not because it "brings syrength".
It's because they screwed up soo bad on the CPP, we don't have the bodies or the income to support the next wave of retirees. What we are paying in to the CPP we will never see. By the time we retire, it will be gone.
This has everything to do with immigration because we lose about $36 billion a year to people taking money OUT of Canada.
@@enigmalfidelity What I mean is, According to my Canadian friends there's a housing crisis, rising cost of living, homelessness, drug issues, health care issues..and according to your government, skills shortages, hence the different programs they are offering skilled and unskilled immigrants to come into Canada. Have you put into consideration the life savings immigrants especially skilled immigrants are inserting into the Canadian economy when they sell their properties and uproot their lives to come and settle in Canada, all on a promise of better opportunities and a better life for them and their families. Then these immigrants are blamed for all manner of problems in your country. Currently even immigrants are leaving Canada at higher numbers than ever before. The problem is your government..the poor policies and systems and just generally bad leadership, but hey let's blame the immigrants
This is probably for the best , there are way to many that have been let walk in unchecked !
Thanks for sharing 😊
Story on Immigration and interviewing an International student?. An international student aims to complete studies and seize opportunities, whether in Canada or elsewhere. Conversely, immigrants often relocate with the goal of settling in their new country. When an immigrant leaves Canada, it highlights potential shortcomings in retaining qualified individuals who have navigated the complexities of immigration, oftentimes taking years to get approvals. This departure underscores challenges within Canada's immigration system, raising questions about its effectiveness in retaining talent and fostering a welcoming environment.
It’s completely normal. Australia is the same in fact Australia didnt want graduates to stay and the UK doesn’t want them any more. Canada has its own labour needs, it just doesn’t have some of the jobs for PhD. That’s the way it is.
The Canadian government, including its departments and agencies responsible for immigration and citizenship, appears to lack empathy for individuals who immigrate to Canada in pursuit of their dreams and a better life. It is incomprehensible that the immigration department takes more than two to three years to process applications for permanent residency or citizenship. Instead of addressing the delays, they offer excuses such as the impact of Covid-19 or conflicts like the one in Ukraine. Meanwhile, applicants endure significant mental stress and hardship during this prolonged waiting period, unable to secure suitable employment or pursue education. Government officials seem indifferent to these struggles, leaving individuals feeling helpless and frustrated. The situation feels dire, with no avenue for recourse or resolution.
It’s Canada , not heaven .
they just lack empathy. period.
The best way to help them is to not bring them in with this false promise in the first place.
I see many homes once occupied by a family go for sale and become an apartment building for students and/or immigrants. So many people going into the homes that traffic increased many times , moving trucks any time of the month (they must rent by day or week?) and they really pack them in. A 4 bedroom home can see 10 people in it, they don't use the driveway, it sits empty in most of the homes that sold for this purpose . They are generally quit and very inconspicuous except for the people in and out all the time with backpacks on. My only complaint is they they move, they trash the furniture on the side of the street for the neighborhood to enjoy until the city picks it up.
The person owning that home is making bank on the rentals. so I see why they don't want to stop this.
If a home becomes an apartment for students, it's still housing, where were those students supposed to stay, you can't be studying in school while sleeping in the snow, so your approach to this problem is fundamentally flawed, all people ordinarily resident in Canada should have access to affordable housing that's the correct approach anything else is just piecemeal bandage or some form of backhanded racism
The bank they make is short term. No one likes being ripped off for long
I sat in the hospital emergency ward in Canada for 33 hrs waiting for a bed. When one finally was open it was in the hallway on an upper floor.
Free healthcare my ass… Canada is full of scam. Mind you, North Korea also has “free healthcare” go figure……
At least they have somewhere to move back to.
Last year 400,000 Canadians left Canada , what's really happening?!!
It is expensive., they maybe found out that their home country is not as bad as they thought.
Moving to Canada is the biggest mistake I made in my life
Not recently but always it was different from what you hear about Canada.
However, high costs of living are gone up at every country.
I left Canada two years ago for a job in Europe. Prices went up here as well.
But one thing that is different: I came as engineer, I work as engineer. In Canada, that's impossible. As soon as you have an accent, you are considered as not qualified for the job. It like you are applying for the English teacher not engineer. It's hard for adults to change the accent. That's why it's easier to leave.
It’s not true. If you're an immigrant and recognize your engineer degree doing a master or PhD you can work as an engineer and have lots of jobs available to you. That happened to my husband and many others international and immigrants engineers that we met in the university. Even more, my husband and some of our friends are the best in the field and have a very high salary. In fact, we’re all becoming rich.
@@pinkrose8845 Good for you. But you're certainly the exception and not the norm.
Plenty of qualified engineers, lawyers, chartered accountants and doctors etc. spend years in Canada driving cabs/delivering food because of the fabled 'Canadian experience' entry barrier + not having their qualifications recognised
Thanks for writing that. I totally agree with you. My experience is the same as you. Canada gets the talent it needs and waste it with unskilled jobs.
Your accent has nothing to do with it?
@ Not only that. A foreign medical graduate is not allowed to even enroll into an anesthesia assistant programme, can u believe it😯? (just an example, which is true BTW). This is a way of robbing 3rd world of their resource and imposition of modern day slavery on the immigrant.
May be Canada should stop talking about human rights and being ethical and all those things. It has become a Jackal in a sheep's skin.
After 13 years living in canada, I left last September. I am a proud Canadian now, but the country is not what it used to be
You are not Canadian. Real Canadians don’t leave when things get hard they endure and push on. something immigrant’s no nothing about . If things get hard like Canada where you are will you just pack up an leave?
Is it really that easy to pack up and move to another country? Do you not have to have work visas and permits wherever you go.
Do not insult us real, proud, patriotic Canadians by calling yourself a 'proud Canadian'. You are not, for so many obvious reasons. 🇨🇦
@blankblanker7627 - This is hiw I see it too. The whole conversation is very self serving. Take, take, take and give nothing to those host country. ❤🇺🇸
The world has changed, not only Canada.
Moved to canada in 2006. My dad recently left canada and I’m next to leave. Cost of living hasn’t kept up with my career.
Places of interest?
@@herogebrial Houston, Miami, Medellin, or Costa Rica maybe. Honestly anywhere my profession takes me, where my earnings has some real purchasing value.
The Government of Canada acknowledges that some immigrants will eventually permanently leave the country. In this business dynamic, the government and temporary immigrants are engaged in a mutually beneficial game, with only those who desire to settle and establish roots sacrificing their standards of living. These individuals are often victims of the system. However, it's important to recognize that every country has its own strengths and specialties. Japan and Germany are renowned for their industrial prowess, Italy and Thailand for their vibrant tourism sectors, while Canada stands out for its immigration policies. Interestingly, Australia has maintained a certain distance from this complex situation.
Canada's immigration policies will be the downfall of Canada as we knew it ! We are well on our way !
I am actually very suprised to see the mainstream media cover such an important negative event that is unfolding.
Lately i feel we are being purposely left uninformed.
Keep up the good work, and report it, good or bad.
because its so obvious , its all over you tube ... you cant keep on lying to the people
I see a lot of usernames similar to yours. How did your username come about?
David Rosenberg, a prominent Canadian economist, questions the logic behind increasing immigration amidst a 40% drop in production rates. Many residents with strong ties abroad contribute minimally to the economy, often sending earnings overseas. This trend raises concerns about the effectiveness of immigration policies, suggesting a potential exploitation of Canada's economy. In other words, there's a need to recruit immigrants who can actively contribute to growing the Canadian economy and ensure policies align with national economic interests.
I think before a student complains about housing, do your homework first. They knew what price you have to pay for free health care and freedom!!
“Freedom” 😂😂😂😂 Canada is a joke.
@@AnaLucia-wy2ii best place in the world for me and millions that have been here a long time. We are 3rd. Generation. Maybe that's why you think it a joke. We r living great here thank you very much!!!
BTW, nothing is for “free.” Your statement is an oxymoron. You talk about the “price” of “free” healthcare. And as I mentioned earlier, you don’t have freedom. Covid policies showed that.
Not surprised at all. Canada is broken.😢

People overlook the fact this is going to cause a brain drain.
Real estate crisis is not just in Toronto as he says it’s everywhere in Canada especially British Columbia it’s so damn expensive to buy a house here….
Higher taxes, inflation, housing crisis, less job opportunities, increasing crime rate are the few main reasons people are moving out of Canada, I came here almost 18 years ago but now I feel like making a mistake bcoz I don't see future for my kids.....😢😢😢
Is crazy how people come to other countries and think it's going to be easy. It's hard for the people that live here and was born and raised here too. This is happening everywhere
The problem with Canada is that Canada is over rated for its quality of life. You will face challenges in other countries too but not devastating like Canada. It is even worse than Africa countries.
That's just exaggeration 😂
I used to live in Canada, left in 2017 ...why? No opportunities, high cost of living, bad food, really bad weather and increasingly cost of living and also increasingly woke culture. When I first moved into Canada in 2002 it was much better at that time, Canada was THE dream...today its just sad what has happened to that country ...glad I left I am much happier now
Where are you now
Very few job opportunities in canada and very highcost of living
Move to Europe
Like me, I already want to move back. Canada was overglamorized. I think I'm just gonna finish my post grad work permit and move back home. At least there, housing is still within my reach. It's rare people doesn't own homes. You can grow food in your backyard. Can live without debt in any way if you choose as we dont rely in mortgages and credit cards or credit scores.
Canada is good in pictures, but not totally in real life. And what I realized is every country has issue in corruption, government, capitalism etc. There's no perfect country, might as well, just have an almost perfect life with loved ones.
Canada has gone to the dogs since this Liberal party came into power 9 years ago. Thats what happens when you vote for someone for all the wrong reasons and with no experience at all !
In the 1960s and 70s, my parents and some of their friends left authoritarian Yugoslavia for Canada. Now, some of their children are leaving Canada for the same reason. I personally know at least 10 people who left Canada permanently in the last few years. Thank you Trudeau and the NDP/Liberal Party!
It is too bloody cold in Canada, Australia is a much better choice.
I came to Canada 2012 and I worked hard almost 10 years but I am not live with my family because the live in Canada is very hard, rent, groceries, everything high we can't afford
It's true
Not only immigrants are leaving Canada. I had two coworkers who were born in Canada and decided to move to USA in 2023. To put it simple and blunt, the opportunities for employment and the quality of life is better in other countries.
Sadly, Canada is not longer the country it used to be!
Affordability is a huge factor, plus the difficulty to enter the job force or find a good job (not only in academia in every field) which so necessary to pay for housing, food etc
But also the social and cultural changes has been huge in the past decade.
As we see the decline in USA, we can see Canada is following closely and in some areas, we are doing worse.
20+ years ago Canada have quality of life, that has dropped drastically in every area health services, schools, security, transportation, housing, infrastructure etc. although we pay higher taxes than other countries we do not have the same services.
Laws restricting liberties and going to the extreme on protecting and impossing other ideologes erosion of freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of religion etc.
On top all that is the huge public debt, lack of transparency, abuse in the spending of many politicians, and corruption.
All together has turned living in Canada less disarable for many immigrants and also nationals. Many Canadian are choosing to live abroad or retire abroad.
Born and bred in Canada but planning to leave
You earn$3000 …..end up spending $3500 and yes I wasn’t spending like crazy
We can only hope this trend keeps up 🙏
