Canada is the only place where taxi drivers and pizza boys have medical and engineering degrees. If you have no better place to go, Canada is ok. If you have the option to go somewhere, where your education and experience is valued, then go there!
We're currently investigating this phenomenon and trying to understand why. What we're seeing is that they may have come here with rose glassess on without doing prior research, or perhaps got stuck as drivers of uber because they found comfort there. I've met a few uber drivers like that - they said they prefer working for themselves than study for 4 years, work for a Canadian and follow their rules.
if thats a conscious decision they make - is that considered a failure or success?
You are absolutely right, I believed it was all the system's fault for years because this is what everyone says. But then, one of my friends came and he has an engineering degree in Morocco. I shared his experience of getting to the " Orde du Québec ". I don't feel it was too much, I believe that if we want something we need to work for it, it takes time and effort, this is normal, we will not be handed everything as soon as we land here. He is still young, in his early 30s, working in his field as a senior engineer, he likes his job, he bought a house with his wife ... I often admire him because he wasn't influenced by the negative advice we get from our community.@@MakeThatChange
Sounds like he’s found his success!
@@MakeThatChangeThat's called "Defeatism" or just being stupid. Many qualified doctors moved to the US and are now working as doctors, not uber drivers. By stupid I mean taking 10 years to get a medical degree just to end up as a driver. Seriously, that's just plain dumb
That’s your opinion and we respect it.
you discussed it well. Great vid! 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
I live in Canada. Grew up here. Came from Venezuela when I was 1.5 years. So this was basically home. I say was because it's not the Canada it used to be. It sucks now. Hurts my heart but it sucks. I have way too many friends that left and moved to different parts of the world and are thriving. if you expect to thrive in Canada, good luck. I sincerely mean it. I have a well paying, high demand career and still the cost of living is so high and for nothing. I live in Toronto where the hustle would get you ahead. Now the hustle just keeps your head above water. The roads are full of pot holes, crime and violent car-jacking are on the rise, home invasions, and we have no right to protect ourselves like the states does. Criminals have the most lenient sentences and are back on the streets in months maybe days, you need over $200K per household to be able to afford a house, when $100K used to be consider a very good income. Everyone is in a rush to get nowhere and drive like idiots. The lakes are nice but only swimmable three months out of the year. I know there are worst places but let me tell you, as someone that grew up in Old Canada, there are much much better places then New Canada. I'm working on paying off all my debts this year and moving somewhere else myself.
Amazing breakdown. Loved it ❤❤❤. Thanks a lot.
Glad you liked it!
As always, the content is useful. Thank you
Glad to hear that!
currently in Canada for past 3 months , highly recommend everyonw not to come ! I came as student , it is way worse than I thought , no jobs , Healthcare is a joke , super racist ! I get discrimination on daily basia !! and no no matter what experience or degree or skill you have they will not even consider it !
What if I’m leaving in a conflict zone with political persecution? Asking for real..
Canada is a good fit - any country would be a good fit though. Depending on your overall motivation and desire to work hard, to work smart and persevere - Canada might be the best thing that ever happened to you.
@@bdidimful then yes it will
worth it
@@MakeThatChange and how do you do hard work when no one is willing to give you an opportunity to show your work ethics ?
You study the local culture, mechanics of job search, you also - network and seek feedback on what you could be doing differently. Learning the rules of the game, in order to win the game! It may sound silly but your resume just isn't the right format, or you don't do well in an interview - all that can be fixed, and reverse engineered.
Since you're a newcomer, there are free newcomer services you can take advantage of. It's all listed in the paperwork and welcome package given to you during the process. They help you understand the job market, etc. If you prefer 1on1, we also provide consultations - however, I would recommend to check out newcomer services first.
Job search is also a job.
This is a beautiful Video. I learn something new from you each time. I moved to Canada 7 years ago and though I am EU citizen Canada has helped me a lot! Anyway I still have to say here is not a place I would like to live for ever. However there's still so many opportunities for people who don't have it where they live.
I've had a hard life here but I've learn so much and I'm grateful for everything I've done so far.
What do you have to do to apply to moving to Canada? Do you go to interviews, or how was the process? I am also EU citizen and seriously considering moving. Thanks!
Very Amazing Video. One of the best out there.
thank you - glad you appreciated it!
Good information,greetings from,Pereira ,Colombia
Hi from Saudi Arabia,have a wonderfull day
Those were some sensible graphs...
☺️
Nope!
It's a DUMP!
☹️
Buh bye then.
7:46 geil! danke! wish me luck! your channel is awesome and so informative. 10:14 yesssssssssssssss, closer to my sister and family in edmonton.
Viel Glück!🍀
I have watched a lot of those kinds of videos, but yours is the best ( duuh lol)... Especially with the four diagrams... Very clear way to make a final decision... But in my case, i dont feel safe in my country so it is a no brainer that i should move in....
My wife and I recently moved to Toronto at the beginning of the year, coming from having fairly well paying jobs in finance and still maintaining those salary levels (and earning higher quantitatively) in Canada, and i absolutely agree with all points in this video. The cost of living is horrendously high (food, rent, insurance, etc), unless you get paid significantly more your disposable income could come out less than you had in your home country. the free medical care wait times and access to medical practitioners are not ideal if you previously could afford private healthcare and buying a home is unbelievably expensive compared to even Canada’s comparable countries (England, Australia, USA, Europe etc), but the salary expectation does not match though taxes are higher than the comparable countries. You would likely get better value from your investments elsewhere. That said, it is very safe, very clean and the people are generally nice… but i would not suggest it if you were financially comfortable in your home country and somewhat fairly safe… unless you are very very content with a significant downgrade in your lifestyle/quality of life. And please consider that moving “just because you can” is not a good enough reason to do it.
Great video as always ladies. Very transparent, accurate and informative. 👌
I appreciate your last sentence, "And please consider that moving “just because you can” is not a good enough reason to do it."
Just a question, based on your knowledge of economics, do you feel the country may improve on its cost of living matter after 5 years?, or is it very difficult to predict such an outcome?
@@Visionary-cx5dwI’m not an economic expert but from my knowledge it is difficult to predict, many factors to consider… but looking at historical trends, rental costs always increase generally. And housing prices can fluctuate somewhat but eventually they always go up. Unless there is an economic collapse like 2008 in the US…. But that is unlikely in Canada, banks have pretty decent lending controls and property is linked to things like pensions, government’s main financial instruments, etc so a housing collapse would be worse for the country than prices staying high. Plus…the demand for housing is far higher than supply possible and this won’t change for a while. My unqualified opinion🥲
thank you for sharing your personal insights too!
Indians ruined canada😢
Bruh life is expensive everywhere now lol. I mean rich countries ofc. And what's compassion to whole Europe as a country lol. U think someone from Poland or Bulgaria have same life as someone from Germany or Belgium?
Thank you for the quadrants, I definitely fit in the red cross third quadrant. I won’t move to Canada but I will get my PR card already.
Right on!
There are a lot of conflicts among nations now and always, to enjoy life in Canada，one of the essential keypoint is to live peacefully and be friendly to each other, not to keep any bitterness against other ethnic group ,regardless of their ethnic background, they are all fellow Canadians : just like one big family
Thank you for saying that 🥰
I want to come to canada. Because i havent live there yet. I moved from poland to UK then to Australia. Now its time for canada since canadian lanscapes are so appealing. Im not planning to stay there forever but work and travel for 2 years. I like what you did in this video. Initially it looks like you want to scare people away but later on you make a point. But not everyone is moving for income reasons. Some people like me just always want to see the world and acclimate really easy. I will live a like as it suits me.
SMART
My girlfriend is Canadian, I am a Dutch (the Netherlands) citizen. Interesting journey to find out were is the best future for us. She has a good career in education and she will have options to work in europe as well (as teachers are very in demand).
If you can afford, it’s worth trying out both options and seeing what worst best. Netherlands is a very comfortable country to live in!
Ye do it !!
Excellent presentation Anna. I really enjoy the insights and opinions and perspectives about my country that you and Anastasia share. Keep up the good work. Dan ✌️🇨🇦
Thank you so much Dan! Glad you enjoy it.
@@MakeThatChange My pleasure Anna. I’m also a resident of Toronto and I can appreciate your comments and recent video on the many challenges of living here. Dan. 👍
Very good video. People really do need to think carefully about their situations before moving to any other country Canada or even the USA. Your points are very clear and well thought out.
Also the most in demand skills are actually plumbers, welders trade skills type of people. Lots of Canadians are getting old and retired. We need trade skills and medical field say nurses and doctors the most. Getting certified for trade skills is very doable here with college certificates or training programs that would give you official canadian certificates. Tradesmen easily get jobs and their pay is decent. IT people should go to the USA or even stay home and work remote to save money.
thank you for an eloquent summary!
Finally an objective video about Canada with pros and cons, not just negativity and complaints
Glad you found it!
Thanks 😊
Welcome 😊
@@MakeThatChangeI'm from Spain I'm kitchen helper is it worth it to move and how much they pay I'm solo I don't have family
Depends as Polítics Situation.
How about the case of a family..
My wife’s a care aid in Interior Health there but on leave since we just have our baby last year and im here in the US (a citizen) working, often visit them.
What basis will be the case to consider, go here in the US or move to Canada?.
Hello, how about constructions?
Thank you!
Thank u
Welcome!
I moved here in 2002 with my Canadian Wife and our daughter. We prepared for having enough money to last 18 months and as we had been coming here on vacation since 98. We already had TD bank account and had been sending money to it for years before we moved.
My wife was able to get a job straight away while I was waiting for residency. First job was working as a detailer in a body shop until I was able to secure a job with the GOA.
Moved to Toronto in 2006 and been here since.
Just love the honesty and clarity u deliver with❤
Glad to hear that! It inspires us to do more!
I dont mind the challenges since i dont have any degrees etc my country far worse than Canada, what i want to aks is it possible to find minimum wage jobs or is it true that there are barley any jobs left😅?
There’s a ton of minimum and average wage jobs in Canada. Whoever says there are no jobs are just doing it for the hype of bashing Canada.
In a nutshell if you are rich in your country don't move to Canada regardless of your job, instead go only in vacation time as a tourist, your wallet will thank you.
Only move if you are poor in a 3rd world country and your current job is in demand in Canada.
And I especially agree with the security situation, if you're exposed to extreme insecurity (like in my homecountry Mexico) you should move, no matter if you are rich or not.
Well summarized!
If you are poor in the 3rd world, most likely you can't afford moving to Canada, let alone buying a flight ticket 😂.
Well...my(Anastasia's) family saved for 5 years just to afford the funds necessary to move to Canada.
@@MakeThatChange It is a really long term goal
Not only rich but once you have a good standard of living. If you have a trade and youre not getting paid for it in your home country that would be a good situation for considering a move too.
You gave the example of a web developer who worked for Western companies but lived and worked in Russia. Recently I had an interview as a backend developer with a company from the USA, this company closing all its offices in Russia and started hiring staff from another country (east Europe), and this is true not only for Russia but for all ex-USSR countries as Kazakhstan to. Today finding remote jobs in Western companies is hard.
I would say it depends, Western companies, especially the US, have figured out that Latin America and Eastern europe develoeprs are much cheaper than their own, so they do take advantage of the geo arbitrage. Having said that, it still takes networking and reputation to land a gig like that.
Get out from Ukraine! And maybe you will get a job again.
I want to move to the US, but I am scared of gun violence , so is it safer and better in Canada? 😅 Thought about a small town close to Vancouver or Calgary
what about doctors? im a general practitioner in Mexico, I´ve learn about a new wey to migrate to Nova Scotia with a new pathway to long-term licensure for international trained physicians.
My coming to Canada is just to get the passport
🤘🏻🤘🏻
well as someone who came out of gaza with nothing on me and i wasn't even able to finish my last year in college...do you have any advice for me? thx to my canedian relative we got out but a new life with nothing to my name is scaring me immensely...
First, I am deeply sorry you had to leave your home, no one should ever be forced to leave home. Secondly, glad to hear you're safe. Our advice would be to stay strong, be open to learning how the new culture and society works. Pick up where you left off with studies, if you loved what you were studying. Canadian government and banks provide student loans at low to no interest rates that you don't have to repay until after several years after your graduation. Tap into your own community where you are, make friends.
Don't be scared about having nothing on your name - you have relatives to say the least, you also have an opportunity to start your life from scratch, and hopefully maybe even make a positive change in this horrible world.
Wishing you all the best! If you want to stay connected with other newcomers, make sure to join our facebook group!
I’m Canadian and I’ve made friends with many new comers to my country. What pisses me off the most is my friends who are Doctors or Engineers in their country having to come here and basically start from scratch and go back to school. That’s appalling and we have a medical crisis right now they need these people. And if you don’t have a family doctor you will be waiting a looong time to see a doctor. Hmm also the rent and food and everything exploded to astronomical proportions. So I’m not sure how they can exist, I would recommend applying for low income housing in the government system which will be oppressive for sometime but if you are diligent and pass all the schooling and hoops you may be able to create what you wish.
I really appreciate and love the way you guys present a reality check to people whom looking to immigrate to Canada.
Thank you! 🙏
Is digital marketing in demand in canada? ( no experince ) . I only have a testing experience and wants a career shift
no
I dont care for the money I CARE FOR LOVE AND FRIENDS I will come to canada no matter what I like the natural and canada has more to give you than europe
Greetings, I am currently pursuing my bachelor's in computer science (4th year) in india.I applied to uni of Ottawa and univ of windsor (concentration in AI and applied computing) . I wish to become either a full stack developer or a data scientist coz i already knew both of these . Is it a right time to move to canada ? Or should i need to look back other countries like Eg. Ireland,Uk? Currently I'm in a big confusion 🙂
Hi! AI is a great concentration to study with great opportunities and salary. It all depends on whether you can afford the cost of living and studying in Canada. UK and Ireland aren’t cheap either, if not more expensive. The biggest reason many criticize Canada is cost of living - the reality is, it’s about the same as most other developed metropolitans. Personally, we think the timing to move to Canada is as good as it’s ever been.
This question is for everyone who can give me some perspective ❤ I currently live in Israel-Palestine, so there’s a war, insane Islamophobia and racism, political persecution, a fascist government and TLV is in the top 10 most expensive cities in the world (for reference - Toronto is 99 on the same list). I realize no place is perfect, but I’m willing to take the risk because things are grim here. Also, I freelance so I can work remotely. Do you think in my position it could be good to move to Canada?
Provided you can get a PR or a visa to Canada, it sounds like it's worth the try. Freelancing might be tricky from taxation perspective, but being able to freelance and work when you move - is a big advantage, provided you can afford it.
Thank you so much! I pay very high taxes here as well as a freelancer.. do you know where I should look for info about freelancing in Canada?
FIrst check for what immigration programs you could qualify for on www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.html
Next, check out the Self-Employed section on that website - as a freelancer, you will likely be considered self-employed. You might want to consider incorporation as well. All details can be found there!
We are considering moving to canada from germany. Many people are commenting about the taxes and living costs being high. But the situation in Germany is currently much worse. We have much higher taxes and the living costs are skyrocketing. Canada may not be the cheapest country but with the social system and nature etc the best alternative and cheaper than Germany. What do you think?
That sounds reasonable. In your profession in high demand in Canada?
@@MakeThatChange I don’t know it is Teer 2 but I don’t know if my current jobexperience would be acknowledged in canada. I am originally a certified insurance salesman but currently I am working as a rail traffic controller since 2020.
you might want to consider to do some research on what field/profession is in higher REAL demand in Canada. Start by studying the job market and even sending out resumes to positions.
Based on our experience, insurance has plenty of postings, but also many people competing for it - it might be challenging as the outlook for this profession in Canada is fairly moderate, license would be an asset, but you'd also need to gain an understanding of specifics of insurance market in Canada.
Rail traffic control might require some certification as well, and there are very few positions open at any given time - but worth a try!
I found Germany relatively inexpensive. Unless you’re in Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart or Hamburg that is.
Dont do it. It sucks here. Seriously.
I left Canada 6 years ago, the best decision of my life...boring, cold country and super expensive...that's a very bad combination
where did you move?
@@MakeThatChange Mexico City
How is life in Mexico?
I agree, you slave for pennies here only to live in a hole in the wall surrounded by a frozen wasteland of suck. Its terrible.

Canada and Australia HAVE LOST ME TO CHICAGO/NEW YORK FOREVER!!!!
NYC and Chicago are beautiful cities!
I have a question im jn india and not really happy with the lifestyle so im moving tk canada in july is it worth it?
It depends. What is it you don’t like about your current lifestyle that you expect will be different in Canada?
Good news 🗞️
I love your style of presentation. You offer the facts in a way that educates people into making the right decisions. You also don't shit on Canada, which is increasingly rare among RUclipsrs. ❤
thank you! We're so glad you appreciate that angle!
Is the perspective of obtaining Canadian Citizenship a good reason for coming, if we are from a Visa restricted country?
It is, if you’re ready to make some sacrifices for a few years.
It's not the first of your videos where you use a software developer as an example of people who should not move to Canada because "I work more here". How much is that more? 60 hours a week? 70? Excluding game development of course, there may be a lot more during some stages of development.
What I like about this channel is transparency. Everything I just heard from the video is the reflection of what I see people feel when the come to Canada. Immigration has never been easy. but even me started to think why I’d made this step. If you have nothing to lose in your own country , I say GO for it buddy
🙌🙌
Can you talk about people who leave a country like Australia to go to Canada? I’m Colombian with an student visa in Australia and I want to know if it’s a good decision, thank you!
It depends on what you do, what's the demand for your job on Canadian job market and your networking skills.
Additionally it depends on where you see yourself in 5-10 years, what's your goal? Career success? Cheaper education? or a pretty blue passport?
Also keep in mind that Canadian climate is different from Australia and Colombia. However, the US is right across the border. It's advantageous to have such an economically strong neighbor, depending on your job it might be useful to you
Australia is way better
Can you do a video comparing Canada with Australia please?
she never been to Australia though
Australia was actually Anna’s first choice to move to before she made a decision to go to Canada. We do hope to visit Australia soon!
I've heard Australia is as expensive as Canada, and it's even harder to find a job there
yup^ Australia is also moving to clean energy, so there are no oil & gas opportunities AT ALL - this makes a solid portion of Canadian economy ( and immigration)
@@datadrivendev Australia weather is perfect, but it's way difficult to get PR there
It’s worth waving in
So basically save up a lot of money and have tons of work experience then move to then rely on pure shear luck and just mayhe you might make it thru living there in Canada. Ok, cool. Sounds just like moving to anywhere else. At this point just go to jail n live there for the rest of ur life and chill.
try living in jail and let us know how it goes. We will interview you.
Hello, what do you think about Hospitality field sector, does it have future in Canada?
lots of opportunities, but they aren't paid a lot
@@MakeThatChange Like what do you think about an average salary of 28 dollars per hour? do we meet ends?
Depends on the city. Toronto or Vancouver might be challenging, but not impossible - depending on whether you have a partner or live with roommates. Rent is expensice, do whatever you can to save on it.
@@MakeThatChange okay understood, ill be shifting to Newfoundland and labrador, as per your opinion is it really a cheap province to move into?
it is a remote province, so we recommend making sure you can find a job there as opportunities may be limited. Housing, food and transportation are generally cheaper.
I appreciate you talked about " safety " because this is the main reason I came to Canada and it has no price. Being gay from a Muslim country and from a Muslim family. I was a victim of physical abuse all my childhood and adulthood inside the house and outside. Just for not being straight. As soon as I got the opportunity to move to Canada, I didn't hesitate and I am very happy to be safe and not live in fear anymore. I don't care about all the difficulties, I work hard and I accept the fact that nowhere is perfect in the world, I appreciate the positive side and I accept the downsides. I am very happy every morning because I am here.
This 👆🏻👆🏻so glad you’ve made the move and you’re safe now 💕
please you talk about which is better move Canada or UK.
Depends on your profession, your financial situation and overall lifestyle you want to have. Can you share a little more about yourself?
Currently the situation in both countries is similar.
But the cost of living in UK is cheaper than Canada
I'm planning to do my ms in finance, Is it demanding job in Canada? Should I go study finance there? I confused between Canada and Germany, where should I go for my master? I will appreciate if anyone help me
no, canada has a dying economy finance is being replaced by Ai

Hi great video, I'm a 23 year old Electronics Engineer in South Africa would it be wise to move to canada alone.
no, don't do it
*Low security country.
*24 year's old. No high education degree.
Will it be worth it to emigrate and study in Canada to build my life there?
Good video, makes me think twice about making decisions.
And thanks for the answer's for who will reply!
If you can afford education in Canada - absolutely worth giving it try. Make sure you do research in the most in demand and well paid professions, if you haven’t made a decision on what you want to study. Also be ready for some difficulties along the way, and stay strong, it will pass!

What is the future of barber in canada? It is woth it ??
If you eventually open your own barbershop in a good location, yes!
Simple, I am from the Netherlands and I will not trade my country for another, maybe Danmark, Norway, Switzerland or Sud-Tirol ( North Italy ) as almost everything is well arranged here. Living quality, safety, facilities, work, insurances, infrastructure and the list is long....very long. Perfect? No, we have issues and living costs are not cheap but incredibly high standard on daily basis and very good acces to public facilities. Police, fire department, ambulance and intelligence services are working great. At some areas in the bigger cities I will not go ( same story all over the Globe ) but in terms of living, options, income, food, transport etc etc I will not change my country :) Will I visit Canada? Yes I will! I am about to plan a trip for 2024, latest 2025 ( expensive yes yes!) to discover some of natures extreme beauty and hopefully meet some new nice people. Lot of Dutch do have a special connection with Canada, so I must go, I have to experience some tiny bit of that giant country!
Holland is a great country!
sweden, norway, finland have the same nature as canada and perhaps more beautiful
My student visa has been approved also work permit for my husband and visas also for my children. I work at the airport as a supervisor in passenger service department. Salary is 900$ . What is your advice?
Canada is extremely expensive. Don’t come unless u have A LOT of money. You’re going to struggle
*24 years old
*planning to do a MBA in Canada
*moving with husband
*living in a third world country
*husband has some experience as a system support engineer (IT) and has a BSC in SE
*I have a Bsc in International business management
Will it be worth it to come to study and to build our lives there with the current situation in Canada. however, the situation in my country is much worse when comparing to Canada.
Your opinion will be highly appreciated. TIA❤
* I cant even afford a house and a car here. Even if I get one here it will be really hard to achieve the other. And even if I achieve one it will be hard to maintain it with my countries current situation.
Hey! Ultimately it is your decision on whether you’re ready to make a big change. I’ve met many people coming to Canada for a masters degree and achieving a really successful life here. MBA is a great versatile degree, but I would recommend to specialize in something like finance or data. Take the best advantage of opportunities the university gives you - networking, student associations, applying for bursaries, extra projects etc. and you will be set for success.
It sounds like you’re making a well weighted decision to move to and study in Canada. We’re wishing you all the best.
Well, I am already here, and this video makes it even a confirming reason that I did the right move
💕💕
How come you didn't include family based immigration?
This topic deserves a separate video
This video is so wrong, all criteria is about income and job demand. The only outlier is people in war torn places, but if your only motivation for moving is earning more or getting an in demand job, then you will really fail.
What criteria do you think we’ve missed?
When you talked about nurses and trade people you forgot to mention that they would need Canadian diplomas to perform trade or nursing via tests or degree. Developers are not doing that bad in Canada.
Great point, there are some changes happening next year making it easier for some professions( including nursing) to get licensed sooner.
I have a 5 year bachelor degree in medical laboratory science (a very high demand job in canada ) yet they have absolutely insane laws ! I got offered a job part-time ans they were willing to make it full time but they ended up withdrawing the offer because I couldn't get Canadian "driver license " for a job that is not related to driving at all !! Canada internationally wanna be crisis ! someone is benefiting from this lack of healthcare !!!
Sorry to hear that's happened to you. I do want to take a moment and celebrate that you landed a job in your field so soon, good job! Don't despair, it takes some time to adapt and understand the local laws, and then it will get better and easier. PREPARATION is everything - understanding the laws of the job market, building a resume and interviewing.
Driving license is a standard requirement for jobs that require some degree of mobility and independence.
Yup only IT people have an easier transition
Engineers can have a smooth transition too, if they do their homework ahead of arrival.
Same for logistics/supply chain and trades.
Am truck driver with enough experience but to Get CDL is crazy expensive
it will be worth it over the long run!
Only if you really have to move to Canada. US is still way better choice. Many reasons not to. Forget about a house, having kids extremely hard, etc. I know the video shows a different picture, but trust me, bad idea. 10 years ago maybe, but not now.
I think it depends on the lifestyle you want to have. Even for us, there's pros and cons for both as we think about - our next 10 years.
Not worth it. WHY? RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. It used to be good here, maybe 25 years ago.
This country is a joke.
I am considering moving to Canada from China as a marketer with over 8 years of work experience. The thing is it is totally impossible for a worker to afford an apartment in my city where a remote apartment of 100 square meters is worth US$828,000. And as a local, I am supposed to pay 30% of the full price as a downpayment and spend the rest of my 30-40 years to pay off the mortgage. The worst part is that companies here prefer fresh graduates over experienced and expensive workers, so losing your job or starting to drive Didi (similar to Uber) at 35 is a likely future for everyone.
The way I see it, since I do international marketing, a lot of people in marketing from other countries are still loving what they are doing in their 50s or even 60s. That's why I am thinking of moving. China leaves me no choices. And I love choices.
Marketing is a fulfilling profession and can be well paid for experience professionals, but it’s also very competitive in Canada: there are a lot of marketers, and it’s one of the most popular bachelor degrees in business here. Be ready to network a lot, have a portfolio and hustle to land your dream job! Wishing you all the best!
@@MakeThatChange Thank you so much for the advice and reply!

@@RedaReda-vl9ff Thank you so much! I wish every thing goes on well for you as well!
as a junior chef, I can make more wealth in the UK than in Canada. and more disposable income. In Canada, I lived for more than 4 and a half years. One year in Canada saving is like six months in the UK. :D :D
wow! that's great! Money aside, do you enjoy living in the UK?
hey chef, what do you think about hospitality field? does it have future in Canada? Please reply if possible, Thankyou.
Not so bad if you own house in Canada, otherwise your hard work salary going into the Landlord bank account.
I want to go to Canada for families and friends and relatives and clans please help me with this issue refugees please help me with this issue God speed
What should I do? I'm from China. The air here is not good, the economy is not good, and there is no guarantee when I get old,so I plan go to canada to major in welder next year and then take a permanent residence, but...
Do it, if you can move, work and get PR. Ask yourself - what's the worst that could happen?
I lived in China for 7years. Loved it absolutely. Made good monies there. Mainly left because visa policies weren't great for family settlement and no detached homes plus some religious restrictions. Otherwise, China is great. Infrastructure wise, Canada is no match.
@@njamutohbertrand9318i wish you a wonderfull life from Saudi Arabia,have a really nice day
What if I'm 19, have no college education. Should i try this?
Depends on why you want to do it and what your goals are?
@@MakeThatChange in Ukraine war right now so I can't live there . I'm living in Turkey because of it and I feel so bad in this country(no friends, no legal work, everyone looking at me like I'm tourist,someone trying to scum) . I don't know their language and this is too hard for me . Is that enough?
If you are able to afford a move to Canada, then absolutely yes!
@@MakeThatChange I have money only to the ticket🙂 So I need find a job . I tried via Facebook (so much scum). Maybe u know some people who need employee in any area(I have work permit ) or I should move there before finding a job ?😁

Don’t let one random person define your personal life success 😉
I want quality of life and independence as a middle eastern woman i want to experience the freedom western woman have
You nailed it with social protection and safety and security. IMO, these are THE most important reasons to consider moving to Canada. Wealth and skills can be acquired and quantified and are secondary, assuming one can meet basic needs. Peace and stability cannot be quantified nor are they easily acquired. There are plenty of (born in Canada) Canadians who would not consider themselves wealthy or who are otherwise underemployed. That’s life. Newcomers need to face that reality (as do old stock Canadians) and set realistic expectations. If they think they will transition somehow from lower middle income status in their home country to living in Canada as part of the 1%, it ain’t gonna happen. Will they be looked after? Yes. Countries are literally like real estate on a Monopoly board. It’s location, location, location. Those with the most to offer, are generally more costly. It’s obviously a personal choice as you correctly point out but those who leave to places that offer far less than Canada does leave me shaking my head.
So well said! Thank you for articulating it so well🙏🙌
Are there more Russians in Montreal or more Russians in Toronto?
Generally there are not many Russians anywhere in Canada. Ukrainian diaspora is much larger in Canada. I’d say there are more post-Soviet people in Toronto just because the total population is higher.
once u land in canada u realize ur experience need to be "TRUE CANADIAN EXPERIENCE" which is basically the super canadian passive aggresive way of saying "well we prefer a freasher over an immigrant with more experience." its a glass ceiling they use to keep skilled immigrants from pursuing their careers here. second canada really dont need skilled immigrants. what htey really need is blue collar workers who is willing to shovel ur snow, drive a uber or do contruction. imagine someone who worked in a bank in their own country , building houses in canada cuz they cant break in cuz of "canadian XP' . all this plays into the part that canada is a massive welfare ship that needs a constant inflow of workers who the govt can make to whatever so they can tax them to death, to provide for native canadians welfare lifestyle. basically u become another hamster on the welfare wheel that desperately needs to keep spinning or else the ponzi like welfare scheme is gonna collapse.
tbh from the outside u cant really tell the flaws and cracks of the system. everything in canada is well hidden. (u will know what i mean.) the flaws just revealed themselves cuz so many is going there now and telling the world about it

If you move to Canada and you will not earn 10000+$ monthly netto you better take tent with you and warm blanket to have sleep somewhere and you better cutt your meals too
10k is very doable. You need max 5 years after immigration to achieve that.
@@MakeThatChange that is problem,nobody or 5% will have that and only if they are on some higher position but even with that person will struggle too and those with shitty work they are basically slaves and must be several in one small apartment if they want to have some point their arrival in Canada and not to sleep in tent
@Mr11ESSE111 this channel is about building a better life and helping people succeed. Let’s have some optimism and positive attitude. Your attitude will not help people get anywhere, let’s elevate people, not bring them down.
@@MakeThatChange don't talk them false hopes,they would not succed or maybe 1% if that could be named succes!!many will curse you if you talk something what is not !!peoples comes for better life not to be slaves and in bigger shit then before
We can live with that. Hope you can live with your views in life happily too.
Truck drivers? Is worth it??
Lots of job openings and work visa opportunities. The job itself does not always start with a great pay and can be exhausting, since you’re always on the road away from home.
@@MakeThatChange that’s not a problem I mean I been no married no kids I’m solo, and I think it’s good
👌👌
Only if your monthly incomes are way over 10000$ then maybe !! Canada are garbage in compare to EU!! in Germany i live like a king with 2500 euro monthly while in Canda i will sleep in tent with that
10k after tax is very achievable for a couple in most major cities
@@MakeThatChange 10k netto and i think on one person,its problem that for living in Canada you must rent apartment with several peoples to afford it but then you lose comfort., Canada wants immigrants but its better for them to take tents with themselves then
that's true, unfortunately single people are "punished" more by the system. It is a lot easier when you share among your spouse or roommates/friends
best to share with all neighbourhood one room@@MakeThatChange
Unless you move to a more affordable city
I'm comfortable in my current situation, but my country is teetering on dictatorship. This is why I am considering Canada. 😔
Oh, that's the boat I'm in. I love California, run my own successful business, but I'm scared of where the politics are *potentially* heading in 2024 ... not gonna mention names or party ... just leave it at that. I'm already exploring paperwork to make the move.
@Anvanho I'm in Seattle, myself. I just got my real estate license so I can pivot into that from my current career once the market goes through a correction. But now, I don't know. The orange man and his supporters scare me
Great comment, I hear yuh ....best wishes
@@Anvanho Thank you. Good luck to you, wherever life takes you
There are still many millionaires and billionaires moving to Canada to experience different life styles, especially in Vancouver. Easy to get PR. They don't need to work and can go wherever they want.
100%
Where are you mam
Canada

Short answer, no
well, im the underprivileged in our country, moving to Canada is nothing to lose for my case lol
my life isn't got threaten, but my life is desperate. working hours is so long, it is stressful, im discriminated coz im a loser in my life, ppl always judge my body shape, my circumstances ,ppl always judged I didn't get married coz im really poor . but I can afford a few years expense for living in Canada and tution as well coz I saved some money
as Chinese we can't move to the US coz it's hard to get a status there, we probably can't get any status in the US in our lifetime, it's really harsh for Chinese as well as inidans
Dont give up my dear sister,keep moving forward,dont give up,have a really nice day
