From overwhelming amounts of bad experience: Generational abuse, damages, corruption, delusion, speaking and acting with certainty, even indisputable while other possibilities exist - creating more and more conflict and damages and time being wasted, is life in Canada. The Canadians who have taken power and control over and upon others and childrens lives, have sabotaged so many lives, have corrupted reasonableness, logic, and needed care. Many Canadian children have been and are still being tortured, trafficked, profited on, and poisoned. Victims are now disabled, expected to heal themselves often while still feeling tortured, and are largely left to continue to suffer while the majority basically looks the other way, works to party, play, go on vacations and such, and basically refuses to understand what went wrong, where it went wrong, and where it's going wrong, in childhood. This's why I think most don't get it and why Canada doesn't have smart people, and why people ask why from others instead of figuring it out or should already know the answer if so-called adults were competent and actually helpful. The ugly truth is that Canadians don't know how to raise children all that well - day after day, year after year, generation after generation. Emotional and physical damages are often permanent; one a child or a person is poison and traumatise, there's no coming back. Canada at large is still one of the worst human violators on this planet and there is really no end in sight for child abuse because it's not Canada's top priority.
@@Uhohareyouokay Well from your allegation without proof dictating that I'm "definitely not Canadian" and your almost additional allegation that I "seem like a toxic individual" - which is pretty much character assassination or defamation of character or something and is hypocritically toxic in itself, I don't know what to say to get you to realize how corrupted you've been and still are. People like you and this situation is exactly why child abuses and avoidable lifelong damages still occur and are inflicted on innocent and helpless children (and some adults). There has to be a decent way to stop you and the majority acting crazy and hurting children. And we need it now!!!
@@01mustang05 what? Your crazy hahaha nothing your saying makes any sense. Your not Canadian so you don’t have any experience with Canadian traditions. Your trying way to hard to sound intelligent in your reply’s and they lead into pointless rambles about something that’s has no relevance to Canada. It’s not an allegation it’s a fact that you are a toxic person. I’m not trying spread hate and lies about your country but you have no problem talking down about people you know nothing about.
@@Uhohareyouokay Nothing you say about me is true and you won't stop. There is no reasoning with you, to correct your criminal behaviors, hate, and lies. You're not as good as you think you are; everything I've said comes from personal experience without being dramatic or stretching ugly truths. This are worse actually, people like you won't see it, and nobody has figured out how to correct it.
@@joaov.m.oliveira9903 cold weather, cold-hearted people, no social life, mental illness rampant, no one knows anyone, loneliness, high taxes, subtle racism. Sucks!
@@japantarzan3551 I see your point. I have always had a good impression of Canada looking from where I am (Brazil). Add to that the positive opinion by some colleagues of mine who went there as exchange students. It was the beginning of the 2010s though (a lot seem to have changed). Still, I watch European people who went to Canada praise Canadians a lot in terms of temperament, nature, good humour and overall friendliness. I must visit it some day, God wish.
@Rakesh Gowda Mr. Rakesh Genius, It takes eternity to get PR in US. Also, in Germany, it takes 4-5 years to get PR. You can easily get PR in Canada. Think again you ignorant human being.
We applied for PR. Got invitation for my family within 10 months. Landed in GTA in 2016. Stayed there for a one month vacation became PRs. Observed many things and spoken to many of my friends while I was there. Situation was pathetic in a nutshell. Went back to continue my job in Middle East. For 3 4 years I thought about what should we do. Should we move or not. Ultimately decided to let go the PR status & not Waste my savings on this PONZY scheme. Still working in Middle East and in Europe, family shifted back to India purchased a premium apartment a nice car. With our foreign savings I can easily retire in India - I'm still 39! Best decision ever!!!
I live in Canada and was a peer mentor at my college last year. I mentored a handful of international students who had been completing their programs remotely and were planning their move to Canada. After they lived here for a few months, they spoke to me about some of the issues you mention in your video. It was very disheartening to see people who were very excited to move here and be immediately crushed by the financial pressures and feelings of isolation. Even Canadians who are born and raised here (such as myself) feel the strain so I can only imagine how difficult it is for new immigrants. There are countless things I love about this country but I can't deny that the last decade or so has been rough here.
@@shadow2440 there’s other things that suck about Canada like long winters, high taxes, and even social culture. There are many things that suck and don’t suck about a country like Canada. I don’t know why Canadians justify what’s apparently negative. Nothing wrong with admitting things that are crappy. Like the rising debt per capita because Trudeau gave away billions of dollars since taking office.
@@adebisisaid8616 Agree with your comment 100% . In my opinion Canada has more negative than positive things . Brutally big country , brutally long and cold winter and cold and distance people .
This guy just nailed it. I went to Canada, couldnt find a job, when I did taxes killed me, then winter killed me and then I left. Sorry is not for everyone...not for me obviously.
@@AhriGames In Canada like other English speaking countries like the UK it’s very minimal almost non-existent. I’d bet you wouldn’t experience in your lifetime I haven’t. Not to say it doesn’t exist but far less than any other countries
You didn’t even mention the worst part. The housing costs. Canada is extremely expensive and you don’t get much out of it. It’s becoming a progressively more miserable place to live
@@BanterSage maybe in certain fields I suppose that's true. But in general a job itself is not hard to find, almost everywhere is struggling to get workers currently.
I don't think there's any place you can go that doesn't have reasons to leave. No place is perfect and no place is for everyone. But I'm sure if you had a choice between staying in Sudan vs Canada, you'll most likely choose Canada because it's better
I disagree. I think I would prefer Sudan. I have friends who made the decision to move there recently. Nice weather, friendly people, good food, low taxes and extremely affordable and beautiful houses. I would much rather buy a 50,000 dollar house in a nice area in Sudan, than pay 1.5 million dollars for a house in a semi-decent area in Canada, and have to deal with high taxes, lousy weather and racist people.
As Canadian, I agree with point 1 and 2, taxes can be really high. But, that is only if your salary is much more over the "average" (that depends on the province). A minimum salary of around 30k per year is not taxed very much, maybe 10%. But there is the sales tax, which is (depending on province) between 7 and 14%. However, some groceries are not taxed at all, vegetables, fruits, milk and some other products are considered "essential foods". Just note that the qualifier of "essential food" depends on the province; in fact the whole list is online at the government website, or if you need, do the research based on province. Also, note that the gasoline is much cheaper in Canada than Europe, and the price at the pump contains the taxes. However, to the point number 3: The weather might be a shock for somebody who didn't leave in a temperate country before moving to Canada, but other than the fact that the winter is a little longer than most European countries, it's not that bad. I'd say that January to April are the coldest months in Canada, living in Ontario or Quebec. Toronto (or Greater Toronto Area, as it's now called) is a little better than Montreal or Ottawa, to give you the names of a few of the most known cities in those provinces, but quite frankly, having too much heat is very dangerous also. It seems really bad with the big snow, but the big cities are cleaning up the main roads very quickly and efficiently during the big snowy events, so after living in Montreal and Ottawa and seeing Toronto in the winter, there is really only a problem with the cold, but I think, if you have winter tires and a battery in good condition, you'll pass the winter well. And -30 and even colder is actually very rare, I would say maybe 4-5 days per winter tops, and not always together. In general, the cold is around -10 to -20, and trust me, it's easy to get used to that. I personally like the snow, as this means it's not too cold (it's not snowing if it's colder than -10C). What is annoying is the "frozen rain" or "verglas", but then again, it's not a frequent occurence. This happens when it's almost 0 C, so at least it's not too cold. Living in a different area might be a lot different, but there is a reason that 99% of the people live in the temperate weather regions. Also, Vancouver, another big city on the West coast, is actually known for having very mild temperatures during the year, but there is a lot of rain, which I personally dislike, I'd rather have some snow. To the point 4, it's true that it's hard to understand how things are organized in Canada. First of all, the Health Ministers are only provincial, not federal, so each province are taking taxes for paying the healthcare system in their respective province. That means paying for building and maintenance of hospitals, salaries of doctors and nurses, and all the medicine necessary for the all the people in that province, and all the other things that are needed to run hospitals. When you go to the emergency room, or schedule an operation to a hospital, it doesn't cost anything. As opposed to, say, USA, where nothing is paid by taxes. The referals are not given by the hospitals, but by the "family doctor". It's not easy to find a family doctor. I waited almost 3 years till I found one, when I had issues, I would just go to the emergency room. Now, I call my family doctor, explain the situation, and schedule a visit if necessary, and he refers me to the specialist doctor. The family doctors are generalists, they know a lot about a lot of things, but they are not experts in any of the domains of medicine. They work away from hopsitals, in a medical clinic. They can prescribe medication if needed, but they cannot operate you in case you need it. They don't even have an operating room, so they can only send you to the right kind of doctor. I"m not saying this system is perfect, but I don't think there is such a thing. However, there are no medical bankrupcies like we see and hear in USA. The medication is not free, we usually have a private insurance provided through our jobs, or we can sign up a private one online. Also, dental services are not free. This is considered a personal choice, taking good care of your mouth. If there is anything I would change, this is it. The prices for dental implants are ridiculously high, I believe this should be regulated by the government. Point 5. It really depends of the region/city/province. There are places where rent is reasonable, but big cities with good prospects for jobs (like Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver) see the highest house or appartment prices, which in turn means higher rental prices. It's based on demand, like many other aspects of a capitalist system with a free market. That being said, the government usually helps people acquire a house, by various programs (newcomers, newly weds, first house, etc..) by allowing the people to put only a maximum of 5% down for the price, while the bank loans the rest of the money. I actually bought my house through a special program, with 0% down.... I started paying the mortage instead of the rent, and overnight, I was a home owner. To sum it up, there are a few things that could be changed in Canada to make it easier to live here, but there are others I wouldn't change. And this is just my opinion as an immigrant. I have been living here for the last 20 years, and I can say it was the best years of my life.
" -30 and even colder is actually very rare, I would say maybe 4-5 days per winter tops". As a Canadian you should know how big the country is. A great deal of it can regularly see days below -30. The major metropolitan centers might not, but they are for the most part all pretty far south. The Government is trying really hard to get immigrants to settle in the northern parts in order to further develop those regions. I think any immigrant considering a move to Canada should take that into consideration.
@@RealMacJones I suppose I wasn't very clear, I was referring to the Ontario-Quebec region exclusively, where I lived in the last 20 years. I know it gets much colder in the North.
I moved from the UK to Canada 4 years ago and it has been the best decision I have ever made. Way more opportunities here than Europe and more money to be made. Also I don't mind putting up with the cold winter since the summer is so nice. I lived in England for 18 years and it was probably cloudy/rainy for 15 of those years 😅. Canada is a far safer and cleaner place to raise a family than just about anywhere in Europe
@@AllenBaby7 No i wish lol that route is too hard for a young student coming alone. I got a student Visa mate then applied to stay and extended it. I get my PR next year
@@ibbzjoseph3841 Oh that's surprising. Everyone says that its easy to get PR in Canada after studying in the UK. Do we need extra work experience or something?
@@AllenBaby7 thats simply not true, takes a lot to get points. work experience helps, having more than just a bachelor's degree helps like masters/PhD, family members, Language scores, you also need to be certified in a profession that canada needs immigrants for like tech/chefs/trades people to get those points. I tried, a lot, to enter as a skilled worker but my skills weren't in short supply in Canada so had to go through the long route. I'm grateful they let me stay, my friend from The UK who studied in Ottawa couldn't get her visa extended and she really wanted to stay
@@ibbzjoseph3841 Thanks for the info brother. I'll look into it more and come up with something. I am planning on doing my masters in UK and had express entry to Canada as my back up plan if I didn't get sponsored tier 2. Guess that idea went into the drain lol.
These comments seem very reasonable and un-biased and I agree with the cons. However, there are lots of reasons to love the country. I think that no matter where you go, being a 1st generation immigrant will be a challenging experience.
@@syess2477 "its hard on 3rd generation non-white Canadians too. So think about what your kids will go through. White immigrants dont have the same struggles." - Don't be so racist and ridiculous. 3rd generation has issues? Stop viewing yourself as a victim or making nonsense up. Canada is now something like 25+% non-white. And many immigrants go to places like Toronto, etc which is like 50+%.
Obviously, its based on a priority basis. If you happpen to show up at the ER and there was a major pile up on the highway with victims minutes later or people come in with aneurysms or heart attacks, your ass is going to wait for some stitches. Thats normal. Ive had emergency care, my niece was born two months premature, my mother has had surgery, my father had cancer treatments, etc... and our family at no point went in to debt paying for this care and received it in timely fashion. Furthermore, we have an aging population and societal problems with lifestyle related diseases. Dont want to wait in the ER, put down the donut or smokes.
@@susiex9547 you seems like one of the 31% Idiots who supported Trudeau. I must clear your facts, issue regarding Healthcare are due to overburdened infrastructure. I would better like to pay and recieve a better treatment than going for free healthcare and screw up my health forever. This is not th only problem, the doctors here lack experience and they would better let the patient die rather than taking risk and treating the patient. Doctors, Nurses just follow the book to stay protected from any legal issues rather than helping patients. Everything on papers should be correct but no one really cares about patients. Diagnosis, here takes months. Situation becomes worse in the meantime. Trudeau has created chaos, immigrating with planning.
@@parmarboyz Great, cross the border and stay there. I was born in the US, have American family, and will be forever grateful that my parents moved to Canada when I was a child. I just dont live with any of the stress that my American family goes through, afraid they wont be able to afford their meds or that they will lose their house should insurance not cover them when they are sick. Doctors and nurses arent magicians and you should take a proactive approach in to protecting your own health. Too often the people mewling about timely access to healthcare are the bon vivants who have lifestyle comorbidities. You want doctors to care about your health when you do very little to take care of it yourself. Furthermore, I dont know a single person who hasnt received emergency care when theyve needed it. Whether it have been me having gallbladder surgery or my nephew at summer camp tripping at an aqua park, cracking off one of his front teeth and having it fixed at a local children's hospital. The system is not perfect, none is, but its pretty good and much better than the American one. As for me supporting Trudeau, he panders to your sort, not mine. I have no vested interest in supporting the master panderer sock boy.
@@susiex9547 Lifestyle choices are not the only reason people get sick. Many get sick through no fault of their own, for example from the stress of having to look after loved ones. I agree that it's better than getting into debt like the states, but we do need more doctors. North Korea has more doctors per capita than Canada, even.
It’s a great place to live if you have money. But where I live high homelessness, escalating drug use and increasing taxes. We’re considering moving out of Canada
I'm Canadian, born and raised. I'd recommend against moving to Canada long term, especially BC and Ontario. The economy is terrible and the housing market is really screwed up. If you plan to get into the trades or engineering I'd recommend moving directly west to where the oil is, there's good employment out there.
I looked at Alberta it’s totally gone communist now Trudeau is bringing in immigrants like crazy calgary is 1.4 million people that’s more people then in the entire state of Montana and most the immigrants Trudeau brings in are all on extra high paying welfare and guess what that means Wexit will never happen they vote against it.
@@captainvanaroo1729 it's Canada, everywheres gone communist. I don't have that big of a problem with immigration, but I am against the ridiculous welfare in Canada. People here like to hate on Quebec, but at least they've been able to maintain they're own cultural identity. Edit: after the recent events in Quebec and the insanity going on there, I looked more deeply into the current state of Quebec, and all I can say is 'fuck Quebec'
@@owen5640 yeah cause Quebec been sucking off alberta transfer payments for the last 50 years why call it alberta when there partnered with Quebec it’s a joke Montana is having a similar problem now all the new people moving in from places like commifornia want a peice of the action from the eastern oilfeilds other words they want to freeload like Quebec and Ontario.
Taxes here in canada depends on the amount you get per year ( The corresponding bottom Canadian bracket stays at 15% until $47,630 ) , some places in different provinces have different prices for food ( ex: Québec 1 gallon 2% milk $6.86 and in ottawa Ontario $4.86 ) , same for rents , I pay $850 a month for 2 bedrooms appartement all included ( fridge, stove , water , electricity) but if you go into ottawa across Ontario border you will pay almost $1500 to $2000 all depends where you live , ex: same appartement like mine in the city of shawanigan , Québec you would pay $400 to $500 , some of the worst city for high prices that I seen personally are (( montreal , Québec city , ottawa , Toronto , Vancouver
Taxes, @ 15% that is what L.A. Southern Calif are. might have gone up since they have such greedy liberal governor. No jobs in Canada is because the stupidity of the lockdowns that absolutely do nothing except for those that have a private business usually lose it. ( another business down the tubes) because of it. Propaganda, Lies, socialism/Marxism. and a goon squad RCMP. They all are loyal to the crown and Justin or else. protect the leader that once again got into office using the same voting machines made in Canada that the USA ised in 2020 elections, is anyone suspicious about that at all ? And no research on the (not a vaccine) No research or informed consent.. It's all Bravo Sierra...
I think you are right. it is getting really horrible. I dont like it here anymore at all. And it is gonna get worse. Here is becoming weird very very weird indeed. Totalitarian nightmare.
you left just right time. it is worseee . that time it was still little bit better but changing.rigth now you won't believe your eyes. the city is getting just like some shit hole. Downtown is weirder and full of homeless again.The shops are closing.And the worse is people ,they became some kind of weird zombies ,they have no idea what's going on at all.
Born and raised in Canada...it's all true. Especially the medical wait times. It took me almost two years to find a general practitioner when I moved to Ottawa (otherwise you wait in overcrowded clinics where you never know which Dr you'll see). I also had to wait for almost a year to see an ear nose and throat specialist after being referred from my general Dr. It's cold and you're basically stuck inside for 1/3 of the year, wages are too low, property prices are too high. I'd like to go somewhere else. Things could be worse, but I'm not really happy here.
Come to South Africa. Things are much better here than on the news. Yes, if you are white, black Safricans may have priority, in job applications, but that is needed right now. Climate is truly the best in the world. If you battle in severe heat, go to Capetown or areas where it is cooler.The people are lovely. Yes, crime rate is sky high, but in certain areas, outside big cities, much better. Whoever wants to make a living, will be able to. If you are lucky and can work online it will be possible. Our government is not intrusive at all as South Africans will never allow that. South Africans are used to total freedom in their private lives, and the police keep a very low profile. We live an extreme outdoorsy life. You are welcome! And your money is worth a lot here! A million or 2 dollars will cause you to be able to not have to work ever again, if you are a moderate spender.. It is also easy to gain entry into the country. I was born and raised in South Africa. Wellcome!
You get sick there. You die waiting for your turn for health care. In other not so good countries, you die because you have no money to pay hospital. In both cases, you die. Either way.
I wouldn't. Take it from an American, it SUCKS in this Country! Our healthcare is waaaaay to expensive and ass backwards, our job market is trash, and you will be exploited for your labor moreso than in Canada. You will get a week of paid vacation per year, and almost next to nothing for maternity leave. And despite what others tell you, you also get taxed way more in the States, when you consider 30-40% of your salary is taxed, there's property tax, sales tax, road tax, etc, etc, etc. Trust me. Stay in Canada, do not come here. The American dream is dead, and we are diving head first into a deep economic collpase.
@@jessicasanchez5765 you do not want to come to Canada. Unless your rich. The average 1 bedroom apt is $1500 and that is a dump in a small town. The average house is $600,000. That's in a small town forget living in a big city. People are leaving cause they can't afford it. We are letting in super rich immigrants that are driving up our cost of living.
Canada is dying for immigration so they can benefit from your tax contributions. No freedom of speech. You won’t be popular if you speak your mind and jeopardize losing your job if you don’t fit into their liberal narrative. Yes, hard to make friends after 30. Winters are very difficult. I agree with this video as I was born and raised in Canada. Luckily I put in 10+ yrs working and will benefit from the government pension plan after 65.
Lazy Canadian would rather smoke w33d and rely on government benefits than work. Immigrants are needed because if not, all the millionaire buissnessmen would move their companies 9ut of the country. Immigrants are needed, but not over 300 000 a year. I also hate the browner kind, there's too many of them.
@@sm3675 I mean at that point, what other type of immigrants are there lmfao. your either asian, or slightly brown. but yeah. the hella liberal mindset just fucks you over alot of the time.

@@bearskyshebearsky Yep. Can confirm living here. But its not too bad, since half these dogshit laws are in place by mostly old people. No one else follows them.

100% true!!!! All the factors mentioned are true. There are millions of Indians moving without knowing these facts. I live in Montreal I knew the CEO and I could easily get the job but other factors I am still facing issue, I had major sinus surgery due to extreme cold. I highly advise not to immigrate. Don't get into the peer pressure of settling abroad. India is better!!!
I lived in Canada six months of my life a few years ago on a tourist visa. The country is huge, beautiful and lots of nature. Toronto is vibrant, like a mini New York, Montreal is nice and French and Vancouver liked it but too rainy and Asian. I got nothing against Asians, but the city is too Korean or Chinese. But life is not easy there as everywhere, you need to work hard to achieve sth. But, one thing I noticed is, the Jews, whites and Chinese were the richest. I worked in black in Toronto, was homeless for a while too, met people from all walks of life, hustled, worked in Alberta, Calgary and Edmonton, I was playing in casino sometimes, lost and won money, travelled the west and experienced Rocky Mountains, saw a big bear there. It was an amazing adventure overall. I am in Europe now, and I been to 57 countries so far, and lived in 10. Travelling is the best thing...
My brother moved in to Canada a couple of years back and he is very happy and satisfied. He has got two cars, a 3500 sqft detached home and a wonderful life at the age of 30. I am sure he wouldn’t have achieved this in India.I visited him last year and he is well settled. So in short, experiences differ from person to person.
Don’t mind my just enjoy being a self made man in the untied states going to Florida and New England because we have tropical and cold climates 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

i was born and raised in canada its a great country but for economic reasons i would not advise anyone move here unless they have a specialized in demand skill. to put it simply 24 percent of the canadian economy is wrapped up in the over inflated real estate market, we have priced the lower class out of trades, the cost of living is obscene, taxes as mentioned in the video. it is not fiscally responsible to immigrate here right now unless you have a high paying specialized job lined up already and even then i wouldnt be surprised if the economy collapsed in the next couple years.
As a Canadian, you are completely right. We are essentially gouged in every way. I've forcefully paid into CCP for 15 years and it's not even guaranteed. A 250g box of cereal is 4.99. It's ridiculous.

No need to travel to some foreign land unnecessarily to struggle and waste your life. Try to find happiness around your loved ones. That will be enough to keep yourself happy throughout your life.
Bingo. If you're educated you suffer, if you're lazy or want to stay home and raise kids, you'll have a great life. So sad, I love this country but it's depressing me now.
Hi there, Dutch in Canada here. Referrals from your GP for Specialists are the norm in the Netherlands as well, since forever. If you go for a drive in winter ALWAYS carry blankets extra gloves and hats and maybe even some form of heater.. Even if it's "just" a 35 minutes drive. This especially in the lesser inhabitated parts, e.g. outside GTA.
You left the Netherlands to live in Canada 🧐!?!?!?! You have milder winters, lovely canals, bikable towns, great trains, and close to family. Not to mention close to Europe. You should rethink this. 😭😭

Our liberal party and Conservative party are more left than the Democratic Party in America and has been since the start. Canada is known for liberal politics and our conservatives are too liberal for most democratic Americans. We haven’t changed for decades
@Allen Tokyoo yes it is just go to some basic research. We are ranked 9th in economic freedom, our economy took a hit in 2020 as did the rest of the world. We are bouncing back faster than most countries. We have the 3rd largest reserve of oil In the world. We are the 4th largest exporter of oil. Our. GDP grew from 2019 46,194.73 to 51,000 in 2021. Our government gave relief to anyone who was effected with corona virus directly and indirectly by giving everyone 2000 dollars a month for the last 15 months. Our economy is rebounding quicker than anyone expected
@Allen Tokyoo USA doesn’t make the top ten for economic freedom. But does for gdp because there is such a big gap between rich and poor. America is becoming dangerous to travel to because of the amount of economic turmoil. I can tell you’re from the states by your grammar.
being from himachal pardesh Chamba 's remote aera, where power cut goes for 1month in winter during snowfall. No health services, no transport and eating potato and rice for 1 month (january). no fresh drinking water and no water for washing cloth. you seems to live in good place thats a fact bro.
Absolutely true..People don't say the truth /reality .To stay in Canada is status symbol in Indian society .You can survive only if you are crazy about foreign country
As a Canadian I can say the biggest benefit living in Canada is - there is a sense of safety and serenity that few other countries can match. It is not the most exciting place to live but there is a peace living here. You feel at ease. Crime is very low and the country not at all perfect - seems to blend harmonious living amongst its people more perfectly than most countries. Sure it is cold, but for the reason I stated above - people will sacrifice year round nice weather for simply a peaceful and secure place to live. Like most Western countries, it is expensive but at the end of the day, the CAD dollar has good buying power against Indian currency -meaning you can still help the family back home tremendously and in life changing ways for them whilst building a good, peaceful, safe and serene place for yourself and your immediate family.
Agreed, considering how safe it is as compared to some parts of the US or other western nations. And that safety isn't something one can ever compromise with.
@@georgef3171 Thats some very strong points that you have made, sir. Its good to see that you are happy with your canadian life. May I know for how long have you been in Canada? And what you do for a living? Do you live alone or have a family?
not sure if what you wrote apply for all Canada - people love Toronto, Vancouver but crime is very high there - while living in Ontario (Toronto area) people use to go shopping to US - lot cheaper there.
I think the reason immigrants are hating on Canada is their expectations were too high and thought that everything in Canada is perfect, which will ultimately lead to a lot of disappointment. Everywhere you go is gonna have it's pros and cons, for me the pros outweigh the cons compared to a lot of other developed countries. If you can't reach your goals you shouldn't put the blame on the country you live in. There are a lot of people who came to Canada with nothing and are now millionaires.
As a Canadian, I'd also add that the job qualifications are generally much stricter here to an extent that pushes a lot of people away. For example, if you have a medical license in Japan or South Korea, not only are you ineligible to practice in Canada, but in many cases you need to redo premed as well. The course requirements and general expectations at university for career paths like medicine, engineering, law, translation, and several other fields are also considerably stricter than in most other countries. It also involves a lot more hands-on experience than is generally the global norm

@@bobbyo4955 Their not like syrians lmfao. The people that immigrate to toronto and shit, are normally asian/indian, and already work in good jobs and actively contribute to the country.
If you want success in Canada, then learn a trade. We have an oversupply of degree holders. Don’t expect to get into IT, it’s very competitive for example. But skilled trademans, construction, plumbers, electricians, HVAC, we have an extreme under supply. This is from decades of Liberals bringing in college students and pushing everyone to college. Reality is we don’t need more people with degrees in psychology. We need people that can build stuff with their hands. You can earn $75-90k a year within 2 years if you pick a solid trade. Then with industry experience, you can become a contractor and make some serious money, $200-500k+ per year.
I see more misinformation here - few decades back I came to Canada on category " Skill technician" and government recognized my 3 professional skills ! No company was interested. So I took extra study and Canadian certifications - when I came somewhere on an interview they were asking me Do you have Canadian experience ? Result was no job ! I was just lucky when I got some in the field of my profession ! Second point is your rate of salary is very different from province to province - western provinces and North locations obviously get higher chance for that rate what you were writing about - but again it is no rule and big part of luck!
The reason why referrals are needed to see specialists is because in universal health are systems, such as in the UK and Canada, it would be too costly on the taxpayer if everyone had direct access to a specialist for every minor illness. That's why family doctors are the frontline doctors who are educated in the field of medicine to determine when a patient requires treatment from a specialist and when they do not. Health are isn't being denied in this case, it's just that it's being balanced against the reality of cost.
Well said! the way in which he was saying this point in particular with a smirk made me want to wring his neck. Healthcare is free at the point of use. This has downsides but also means you don’t have to risk bankruptcy for a health need. Doctors obviously aren’t humans why aren’t they working 24h a day?!
I know few people died of cancer because they had to wait to see the specialist. Myself I had to wait more than 3 months for MRI then the test wasn't done properly then I had to wait another 3 months.
I'm Canadian and I am leaving this horrible country for good once the travel restrictions are removed following the Charter Rights court case. This country has become ridiculous and there are much better countries to live in, with better healthcare, lower taxes, better people and lower costs.
@@technoscientific8697 this friend, living in Maryland back on 2000 could make friends easyer with foreigners. out of his 5 friends I met there, he had one american friend only , Josh, who maybe came from other town. Check the cities and the neighbours for it will change your experience a lot (e.g. Seattle they say is good for introverts, a lot of creatives, etc.. )
No we are not anti-social. Try joining a group or take a course. Try a meet up group even. You have to put an effort to meet people and be open to people of all backgrounds and be willing to learn about their cultures.
I think we value having 2 or 3 really close quality friends over meeting new random people. I would rather have a dinner with my friends and their gfs than go to a bar and meet randoms. Its better keeping your groups tight. Ever watched the show friends? It's like that, hard to get in the friend group when people are that tight.
This is probably already clarified but "Referrals" I would say means that an hospitalist(IM)/generalist needs to refer you to a specialist doctor. You can't just walk into one
I have stayed for 7 years in canada. living in Canada is great for some one who is not happy in their country. After staying here you ll start feeling the same soon or later as you might have felt in your country. bad weather, no value for education from other countries, your experience in other country doesn't matter here, canadin experience is what employers are looking for. I am going back to my original country after wasting my prime years in this country. if you find it good! Enjoy. Good day.
There are ups and downs in every country But I have to say, no matter what the place you are first is your real home secondary is secondary. The heart always wants to go back to home💕
As a duel British/Canadian, I can honestly say, both countries pose challenges for new immigrants. It doesn't matter where you move, it's always going to tough moving to a new country.
Toronto: Average income = $55,000/yr for a professional. The average house costs = $1.5 Million. A couple, working in professional jobs, would each have to work 32 hours per day, with no sleep, just to be able to afford the mortgage on the average house here.
Salary is lower as well in Canada too, as a programmer, I was paid 110K CAD , my Salaly in India was about 35K CAD equivalent at the time. With 110K CAD didn't really manage well in Canada (Toronto). I Came back after 4 years my salary is 100K CAD equivalent, Thanks to experience and opportunities in Canada.
Man if someone is making 45 lakh in India do they need to move to Canada.i have my own business and done mba in finance can I make this much money in Canada. Can u pls tell me Is making 40 CAD a hour a good salary in Canada
I totally understand your perspective, however I have some food for thought. Basically the points mentioned in the Video are not exclusive to Canada - in-fact they're there everywhere in one way or another.... I think we should look at the benefits that outweigh the handicaps rather than focusing on the negatives... 1. For the "job" market Demand is less than supply? Shouldn't it be the other way around - More demand for jobs and less supply? Or maybe you meant there are more supply of "talent" and less demand? - Plus processes vary from job to job - I've sat for 11 rounds of interview at one of my jobs in China. 2. Tax rates, as published by the Federal income tax dept. says, are in salary brackets - with the highest bracket i.e. over 200K CAD is 33% averagely. If you include sales tax and health care etc , that's living expenses - Economics doesn't include these as part of your income tax. Sweden has a 64% tax rate, China 32%, India 32%... get my drift? I think in Canada you at least get back what you pay in taxes. 3. Weather... really? Delhi sees temperatures of over 40ºC in summer, Beijing -20ºC in winter, Singapore has rains all year long. 4. Healthcare - Lines can be daunting and in finding a good doctor hard - but look at the US healthcare system... The no. of patients standing in lines in India... Point is.. it's chaotic everywhere - even a place like Japan, where the healthcare system is supposedly perfect. And when you talk about referrals - i think it's more from the GP referring you to a specialist. And you'll def. find a doctor late at night if you visit the emergency, even in Canada
@@jgddhruviii The lines in emergency clinics are determined by priority. If you require immediate care (because you are unconscious, in a lot of pain, bleeding profusely, about to give birth, etc) the doctor/nurse will see you sooner than someone who came in to emergency because they have a cold. Which is why, if your issue is NOT an emergency, try to take another route by seeing your family doctor or going to a walk-in clinic before seeking help through the emergency clinic.
@@SanaSamaha dear sir, this is all subjective, walk-in clinics that I have visited to need a referral of some one, family doctors don't give an immediate appointment and in case its a 3 month old person what would be your guidelines here. Can that child be kept into an ER for 6 hrs? All I am saying is Canadian processes are not high and mighty as published or portrayed and its not hunky dory here either.
@@jgddhruviii Have never seen reports of Hunky Dory emergency services anywhere, including Canada. Also never seen anyone lose their house and life savings due to health issues (aside from addiction), no matter how bad, in Canada.
Express entry means you will be working the express line at Walmart, PHDs doing Uber and working security. Just because the immigration people recognized your degree it doesn't mean employers will. Canada is just for people who want cheap labor jobs and want to live 10 to a house. Taxes, groceries, utilities are high and salaries are very low for any professional job compared to the US. The only good thing is you can get a TN work visa for the US. If you go to Canadian airports, they all have US immigration officers, and you can see all the smart Canadians with good degrees requesting US work visas, some in tears as US officers refuse.
I was born & raised in this country but, half of my family immigrated here. I found this video interesting & informative. I have American friends who find Canada a very expensive country in which to live & I agree whole heartedly. Regarding jobs, Canada has always had a shortage of trades people & have had to bring them in from other countries. They earn great money. Is it just that they don't have Ph.D, B.A., M.S. after their name? Some of those people are unemployed while Trades people are always working & earning a very good living.
@@calicokat4172 I agree. Trades are very very underrated and they make a very good living in Canada. Students are starting to realize how important the trades are, but it’ll take another generation or so for more of them to realize how valuable the industry is.
these are extremely important cons in my opinion and my situation. While I knew canada was extremely cold, and I knew I'd be paying tax, I was willing to put up with it because at least the health care would be good. But I'm surprised to know it's very inaccessible. :(
I made the biggest mistake of my life when I left the US to return to my country during the pandemic. Life in Brazil is financially miserable for someone like me who lived most of his life in another country
I can feel you, and I'm one hundred percent Brazilian, having never been abroad. Do you plan to go back the U.S. someday, and again re-start your life there?
housing is not expensive considered the wages.However the standard of living in Scandinavian countries and in particular Norway and Denmark are substantially higher, with the same type of benefits.
There are several surveys like that and most of them are very superficial. For instance you have the "Best in the world " survey from the us News and World Report which I suspect they have used. This survey is more about the impression people from the US have about the outside world than a survey of the countries in question. As for economics one of the best indication on a countries living standard in the GDP based on purchasing parity which compare the productivity while adjusting the price level in order to have an impression of purchasing power. In Canada this is about 46000$ pr capita, Denmark 63000$ US 65000$ Norway 75000 $ Switzerland 82000$ Norway and Denmark score higher than Canada on education, less crime, and expectancy.
Sweden is beyond doubt the country with the lowest standard of living in Scandinavia. The purchasing power of the average Norwegian family is estimated be 40% higher than that of a Swedish family. Many young swedes come to Norway to work. Hardly anyone go from Norway to Sweden to work.
And they pay substantially WAY more in taxes for that standard. With the kind of social safety nets they enjoy as a result of that. Not an across the board comparison.
What I think what needs to happen is realistic expectations , the streets here are not pavedin gold, we have a housing crisis where for many obtaining the dream of an affordable home is next to impossible. As well the profession in a former country the person will have to upgrade their credentials to Canadian education standards to proceed in working in their field in many cases. A good example would be an Electrician let's say from another country. Our food prices are also very high average family of 4 it will cost 250 dollars a week for groceries, most who arrive will start with menial minimum wage jobs, minimum wage is only 15dollars an hour. Also if one needs to learn English that is also a difficulty to overcome. Also there will be the obvious culture shock for many, study the laws of Canada, specifically women's rights for example, may seemed biased statement but sadly in many countries women do not experience the same rights I grew up with and that is a cultural thing in many cases. I am the gr granddaughter of an immigrant, they had to start from nothing, worked the land so to speak, but generations later I am thankful for their sacrifices.
You are so right... I married a french Canadian who lives with me in east Europe and now, after 5 years she does not even want to hear about moving back to Canada... Most Canadians do not realized al they lost in the last 30 years (l lived in Canada for 27 years myself). Here, you do not have to wait on getting a family doctor, if you need to see one, just make a call and announce yourself for later the same day. Kindergartens for kids free with people that got a college degree in working with kids, 365 days of weather that doesn't want to kill you, at most 20 minutes away of anything, $10 flights anywhere in Europe where you have a chance to see, eat, hear and experience a complete new culture and language... but in the end, the weather and over taxation (for bad roads and a pitiful health system) is what make living in Canada a real challenge.
I'm a Canadian, born and raised. For those who are thinking of moving to Canada, this video is accurate. We pay an exorbitant amount of taxes and our healthcare is terrible. Although there are pros to living in Canada, this video gives fair examples of Canada's downsides.
Anyone who doesn't still live in their mother's basement knows how accurate this video is. If you earn 6 figures you could pay as high as 53% in income taxes. On top of that, you still pay property taxes if you are a homeowner. Let's not forget 15% sales tax. As far as healthcare (or lack thereof) expect to wait anywhere from 6-10 hours at the ER. No this is not due to covid. It's been like that since I've been born (long time ago). There are better options than Canada.
@@pooch443078 there’s nothing wrong with paying that much income tax and it’s really closer to starting at 40% for ‘6 figures’. It ensures that there are Atleast some safety nets so fewer people are left behind. And our healthcare system is better for a majority of people and when we need it most. It might not be as good if you are the very wealthy but even people earning ‘6 figures’ have trouble covering $100,000+ hospital bills. And if you go by the numbers we spend a lot less and get about the same or better than US citizens.
@@susiex9547 there is a difference between working hard in another country than working hard in Canada, in Canada working hard means slavery and exploitation. He is right about it, and Canada is going to reap it's sins soon
Depression is a very real thing in Canada. If you can put up with about three to four months of snow and freezing temperatures. SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder has affected me since I moved from the UK. I feel trapped in my home for the winter months. I’ll be leaving Canada before I retire in three years time.
It's easier for some than others. The Intl Experience Program (work holiday visa etc) is only available for people from some countries. If you're from smaller countries you have to wait on a job offer to even apply for work permit and getting a job in your field is tied to factor in points for immigration. The best route is basically school and that's expensive
I think living in India is the best in terms of everything. Life is like a bubble, we don't know what will happen next. Living with his or her family ,with your near/dear ones is the richest thing on planet earth
The healthcare in Canada is already pretty trash if you live in a city, but if you live in a rural area it’s far worse. Basically no doctors want to live in the country so there’s a perennial shortage. Heaven forbid you have an emergency because your chances are drastically lowered on getting genuine help.
i will give you a list why someone leave canada after having permanent residency also. 1) High taxes low income 2) Extremely expensive compared to other english countries. 3) On avg 50% income will goes to just rent/ housing. 4) Very harsh weather only couple of months of summer in a year. 5) No social life lot of loneliness. people are very quiet but not rude as americans. 6) everything is far ,far and far isolated inspite of living in same country you may not able to meet family r frnds more than once a year. 7) ppl think PR is everything bt most of ppl do menial jobs even after getting passport also. 8) Not many white collar jobs canada needs only labours and india is biggest exporter. 9) you can't save money in canada infect i hav seen ppl living in other english countries have big big bungalows in india but not one who lives in canada make big properties in india. 10) it's debt nation for sure one will always be in debt forced to buy credit. 11) no transportation between cities you have to own a car or take a expensive flight ticket. in fact transportation is heart of a country. 12) Food is all GMO and standards are low compared to european countries. 13) Too many asians created filth in canada by misusing tax system/ labours in fact indians are leading in it. 14) students who invest 20-25 lakhs for studies fall into debt trap and can't repay loan in 4-5 years also. 15) Health care is a biggest joke in canada you will be lucky if you alive untill your appointment turns up. 16) health care is just free but it's never be on your reach .you have to wait years to for surgeries most indians come to india for medical treatment if canada health care is great then why they have to visit india for treatment ..? 17) canadian english is very poor compared to other english countries there's no any accent. one can speak hindi/punjabi can get a job easily. 18) punjabis always think canada is a heaven but it's not most of them work in menial jobs. those who own big farms n building they made money by abusing employees by stealing workers wages. 19) LMIA is just a scam no employer will pay money as stated on contract. it's a modern day slavery closed work permit. 20) you ll be away from family :friends can't visit india once in a year also because so expensive tickets and no savings totally it's a shame when you visit india seeing the people who make so much wealth here in india. 21) india is not great than canada but nowadays wages are really good in india.

I’m Canadian born in Canada 🇨🇦 and my dream is to semi retire in India. Sadly I see so many young people coming to Canada from India with big dreams only to be let down. I see so many highly educated men and women from India working full time in the fast food business , security guards etc. unable to find a job in their fields. The reason is they don’t have experience or the company’s just don’t want to hire people from India. Also the cost of living in Canada from rent to food to transportation is astronomical. It’s really the sad truth.

Living in Canada for 20 years and regret for moving here everyday. He is true to every word he spoke. If you are a pauper like me and have no hope in India then move to Canada. If you have little inheritance just stay in India as things are looking bright in India. Canada is an inhospitable land for humans to live year round.
don't expect canada to be perfect, and I live here year round no problem, so yeah. then again india is alot hotter than canada so weather mostlikely has a play in it, sorry to hear you're unhappienness

@@susiex9547 By mass shootings are you talking about the US? American crime statistic are skewed by the mega cities. The vast majority of suburbs and towns are as safe as Canada and Europe. However the cities are third world in comparison, and are hellholes.
Canada has very good marketing to lure immigrants - fooled me! It does not live up to expectations. That's the bottom line unless you come from some really horrible place. My last 2 years in Montreal - was totally impossible to see a doctor. Had to go to Emergency and waited there for 12 hours before seeing anyone! you keep on hearing about how great Canadian Health Care is - so not the case.
People complain about the cold and it sucks but I've heard just as many people complain about the heat in places like Africa/SA and India and the extreme heat also comes with dangers such as severe heat stroke...

From overwhelming amounts of bad experience: Generational abuse, damages, corruption, delusion, speaking and acting with certainty, even indisputable while other possibilities exist - creating more and more conflict and damages and time being wasted, is life in Canada. The Canadians who have taken power and control over and upon others and childrens lives, have sabotaged so many lives, have corrupted reasonableness, logic, and needed care. Many Canadian children have been and are still being tortured, trafficked, profited on, and poisoned. Victims are now disabled, expected to heal themselves often while still feeling tortured, and are largely left to continue to suffer while the majority basically looks the other way, works to party, play, go on vacations and such, and basically refuses to understand what went wrong, where it went wrong, and where it's going wrong, in childhood. This's why I think most don't get it and why Canada doesn't have smart people, and why people ask why from others instead of figuring it out or should already know the answer if so-called adults were competent and actually helpful. The ugly truth is that Canadians don't know how to raise children all that well - day after day, year after year, generation after generation. Emotional and physical damages are often permanent; one a child or a person is poison and traumatise, there's no coming back. Canada at large is still one of the worst human violators on this planet and there is really no end in sight for child abuse because it's not Canada's top priority.

I live in Canada and was a peer mentor at my college last year. I mentored a handful of international students who had been completing their programs remotely and were planning their move to Canada. After they lived here for a few months, they spoke to me about some of the issues you mention in your video. It was very disheartening to see people who were very excited to move here and be immediately crushed by the financial pressures and feelings of isolation. Even Canadians who are born and raised here (such as myself) feel the strain so I can only imagine how difficult it is for new immigrants.

True
I disagree. I think I would prefer Sudan. I have friends who made the decision to move there recently. Nice weather, friendly people, good food, low taxes and extremely affordable and beautiful houses. I would much rather buy a 50,000 dollar house in a nice area in Sudan, than pay 1.5 million dollars for a house in a semi-decent area in Canada, and have to deal with high taxes, lousy weather and racist people.

As Canadian, I agree with point 1 and 2, taxes can be really high. But, that is only if your salary is much more over the "average" (that depends on the province). A minimum salary of around 30k per year is not taxed very much, maybe 10%. But there is the sales tax, which is (depending on province) between 7 and 14%. However, some groceries are not taxed at all, vegetables, fruits, milk and some other products are considered "essential foods". Just note that the qualifier of "essential food" depends on the province; in fact the whole list is online at the government website, or if you need, do the research based on province.
Also, note that the gasoline is much cheaper in Canada than Europe, and the price at the pump contains the taxes.
However, to the point number 3:
The weather might be a shock for somebody who didn't leave in a temperate country before moving to Canada, but other than the fact that the winter is a little longer than most European countries, it's not that bad. I'd say that January to April are the coldest months in Canada, living in Ontario or Quebec. Toronto (or Greater Toronto Area, as it's now called) is a little better than Montreal or Ottawa, to give you the names of a few of the most known cities in those provinces, but quite frankly, having too much heat is very dangerous also. It seems really bad with the big snow, but the big cities are cleaning up the main roads very quickly and efficiently during the big snowy events, so after living in Montreal and Ottawa and seeing Toronto in the winter, there is really only a problem with the cold, but I think, if you have winter tires and a battery in good condition, you'll pass the winter well. And -30 and even colder is actually very rare, I would say maybe 4-5 days per winter tops, and not always together. In general, the cold is around -10 to -20, and trust me, it's easy to get used to that. I personally like the snow, as this means it's not too cold (it's not snowing if it's colder than -10C). What is annoying is the "frozen rain" or "verglas", but then again, it's not a frequent occurence. This happens when it's almost 0 C, so at least it's not too cold. Living in a different area might be a lot different, but there is a reason that 99% of the people live in the temperate weather regions. Also, Vancouver, another big city on the West coast, is actually known for having very mild temperatures during the year, but there is a lot of rain, which I personally dislike, I'd rather have some snow.
To the point 4, it's true that it's hard to understand how things are organized in Canada.
First of all, the Health Ministers are only provincial, not federal, so each province are taking taxes for paying the healthcare system in their respective province. That means paying for building and maintenance of hospitals, salaries of doctors and nurses, and all the medicine necessary for the all the people in that province, and all the other things that are needed to run hospitals. When you go to the emergency room, or schedule an operation to a hospital, it doesn't cost anything. As opposed to, say, USA, where nothing is paid by taxes.
The referals are not given by the hospitals, but by the "family doctor".
It's not easy to find a family doctor. I waited almost 3 years till I found one, when I had issues, I would just go to the emergency room. Now, I call my family doctor, explain the situation, and schedule a visit if necessary, and he refers me to the specialist doctor. The family doctors are generalists, they know a lot about a lot of things, but they are not experts in any of the domains of medicine. They work away from hopsitals, in a medical clinic. They can prescribe medication if needed, but they cannot operate you in case you need it. They don't even have an operating room, so they can only send you to the right kind of doctor.
I"m not saying this system is perfect, but I don't think there is such a thing. However, there are no medical bankrupcies like we see and hear in USA.
The medication is not free, we usually have a private insurance provided through our jobs, or we can sign up a private one online. Also, dental services are not free. This is considered a personal choice, taking good care of your mouth. If there is anything I would change, this is it. The prices for dental implants are ridiculously high, I believe this should be regulated by the government.
Point 5.
It really depends of the region/city/province.
There are places where rent is reasonable, but big cities with good prospects for jobs (like Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver) see the highest house or appartment prices, which in turn means higher rental prices.
It's based on demand, like many other aspects of a capitalist system with a free market.
That being said, the government usually helps people acquire a house, by various programs (newcomers, newly weds, first house, etc..) by allowing the people to put only a maximum of 5% down for the price, while the bank loans the rest of the money. I actually bought my house through a special program, with 0% down.... I started paying the mortage instead of the rent, and overnight, I was a home owner.
To sum it up, there are a few things that could be changed in Canada to make it easier to live here, but there are others I wouldn't change. And this is just my opinion as an immigrant. I have been living here for the last 20 years, and I can say it was the best years of my life.
Keep it short rascal
@@arunmitra1000 stfu he is trying to help us and you are 😑
" -30 and even colder is actually very rare, I would say maybe 4-5 days per winter tops". As a Canadian you should know how big the country is. A great deal of it can regularly see days below -30. The major metropolitan centers might not, but they are for the most part all pretty far south. The Government is trying really hard to get immigrants to settle in the northern parts in order to further develop those regions. I think any immigrant considering a move to Canada should take that into consideration.
@@RealMacJones I suppose I wasn't very clear, I was referring to the Ontario-Quebec region exclusively, where I lived in the last 20 years. I know it gets much colder in the North.
@@arunmitra1000 Did you understand what he writes? I don't think so. Get educated then comment.
I moved from the UK to Canada 4 years ago and it has been the best decision I have ever made. Way more opportunities here than Europe and more money to be made. Also I don't mind putting up with the cold winter since the summer is so nice. I lived in England for 18 years and it was probably cloudy/rainy for 15 of those years 😅. Canada is a far safer and cleaner place to raise a family than just about anywhere in Europe

@@ibbzjoseph3841 Oh that's surprising. Everyone says that its easy to get PR in Canada after studying in the UK. Do we need extra work experience or something?
@@AllenBaby7 thats simply not true, takes a lot to get points. work experience helps, having more than just a bachelor's degree helps like masters/PhD, family members, Language scores, you also need to be certified in a profession that canada needs immigrants for like tech/chefs/trades people to get those points. I tried, a lot, to enter as a skilled worker but my skills weren't in short supply in Canada so had to go through the long route.

This guy is 101% true.
Healthcare in Canada is like, if you have vitals, you'll be waiting for atleast 6 hours in emergency before you get treated.
Obviously, its based on a priority basis. If you happpen to show up at the ER and there was a major pile up on the highway with victims minutes later or people come in with aneurysms or heart attacks, your ass is going to wait for some stitches. Thats normal. Ive had emergency care, my niece was born two months premature, my mother has had surgery, my father had cancer treatments, etc... and our family at no point went in to debt paying for this care and received it in timely fashion. Furthermore, we have an aging population and societal problems with lifestyle related diseases. Dont want to wait in the ER, put down the donut or smokes.
@@susiex9547 you seems like one of the 31% Idiots who supported Trudeau.
I must clear your facts, issue regarding Healthcare are due to overburdened infrastructure.
I would better like to pay and recieve a better treatment than going for free healthcare and screw up my health forever.
This is not th only problem, the doctors here lack experience and they would better let the patient die rather than taking risk and treating the patient.
Doctors, Nurses just follow the book to stay protected from any legal issues rather than helping patients. Everything on papers should be correct but no one really cares about patients.
Diagnosis, here takes months. Situation becomes worse in the meantime.
Trudeau has created chaos, immigrating with planning.
@@parmarboyz Great, cross the border and stay there. I was born in the US, have American family, and will be forever grateful that my parents moved to Canada when I was a child. I just dont live with any of the stress that my American family goes through, afraid they wont be able to afford their meds or that they will lose their house should insurance not cover them when they are sick. Doctors and nurses arent magicians and you should take a proactive approach in to protecting your own health. Too often the people mewling about timely access to healthcare are the bon vivants who have lifestyle comorbidities. You want doctors to care about your health when you do very little to take care of it yourself. Furthermore, I dont know a single person who hasnt received emergency care when theyve needed it. Whether it have been me having gallbladder surgery or my nephew at summer camp tripping at an aqua park, cracking off one of his front teeth and having it fixed at a local children's hospital. The system is not perfect, none is, but its pretty good and much better than the American one. As for me supporting Trudeau, he panders to your sort, not mine. I have no vested interest in supporting the master panderer sock boy.
This is similar in the NHS here in the UK too to be fair. Waiting for 6ish hours in A and E is a normal day!
@@susiex9547 Lifestyle choices are not the only reason people get sick. Many get sick through no fault of their own, for example from the stress of having to look after loved ones. I agree that it's better than getting into debt like the states, but we do need more doctors. North Korea has more doctors per capita than Canada, even.

Taxes here in canada depends on the amount you get per year ( The corresponding bottom Canadian bracket stays at 15% until $47,630 ) , some places in different provinces have different prices for food ( ex: Québec 1 gallon 2% milk $6.86 and in ottawa Ontario $4.86 ) , same for rents , I pay $850 a month for 2 bedrooms appartement all included ( fridge, stove , water , electricity) but if you go into ottawa across Ontario border you will pay almost $1500 to $2000 all depends where you live , ex: same appartement like mine in the city of shawanigan , Québec you would pay $400 to $500 , some of the worst city for high prices that I seen personally are (( montreal , Québec city , ottawa , Toronto , Vancouver

Born and raised in Canada...it's all true. Especially the medical wait times. It took me almost two years to find a general practitioner when I moved to Ottawa (otherwise you wait in overcrowded clinics where you never know which Dr you'll see). I also had to wait for almost a year to see an ear nose and throat specialist after being referred from my general Dr.
It's cold and you're basically stuck inside for 1/3 of the year, wages are too low, property prices are too high. I'd like to go somewhere else. Things could be worse, but I'm not really happy here.
Come to South Africa. Things are much better here than on the news. Yes, if you are white, black Safricans may have priority, in job applications, but that is needed right now. Climate is truly the best in the world. If you battle in severe heat, go to Capetown or areas where it is cooler.The people are lovely. Yes, crime rate is sky high, but in certain areas, outside big cities, much better. Whoever wants to make a living, will be able to. If you are lucky and can work online it will be possible. Our government is not intrusive at all as South Africans will never allow that. South Africans are used to total freedom in their private lives, and the police keep a very low profile. We live an extreme outdoorsy life. You are welcome! And your money is worth a lot here! A million or 2 dollars will cause you to be able to not have to work ever again, if you are a moderate spender.. It is also easy to gain entry into the country. I was born and raised in South Africa. Wellcome!
move to new-brunswick. super cheap and low population = low wait time.
The thing is it's basically the same in most other countries, personally I've lived in UAE and the UK and its ditto same - minus the bad healthcare.
You get sick there. You die waiting for your turn for health care. In other not so good countries, you die because you have no money to pay hospital. In both cases, you die. Either way.

@Focused Life right now it’s 32• Celsius and we are having the one worst heat waves in history. We have the same winters as Buffalo,New York , Seattle, Oregon and Rhode Island. Different areas across Canada that have different climates same as any other place in the world. In fact a lot of the population of Canada lives more south than some American states. The economy isn’t that bad I made 120k off of real-estate since November, the whole world economy was effected from COVID but Canada still has one of the strongest economies In the world. Our liberal party and Conservative party are more left than the Democratic Party in America and has been since the start. Canada is known for liberal politics and our conservatives are too liberal for most democratic Americans. We haven’t changed for decades
@Allen Tokyoo yes it is just go to some basic research. We are ranked 9th in economic freedom, our economy took a hit in 2020 as did the rest of the world. We are bouncing back faster than most countries. We have the 3rd largest reserve of oil In the world. We are the 4th largest exporter of oil. Our. GDP grew from 2019 46,194.73 to 51,000 in 2021. Our government gave relief to anyone who was effected with corona virus directly and indirectly by giving everyone 2000 dollars a month for the last 15 months. Our economy is rebounding quicker than anyone expected
@Allen Tokyoo USA doesn’t make the top ten for economic freedom. But does for gdp because there is such a big gap between rich and poor. America is becoming dangerous to travel to because of the amount of economic turmoil. I can tell you’re from the states by your grammar.
Canada has never branded itself as a success!!

As a Canadian I can say the biggest benefit living in Canada is - there is a sense of safety and serenity that few other countries can match. It is not the most exciting place to live but there is a peace living here. You feel at ease. Crime is very low and the country not at all perfect - seems to blend harmonious living amongst its people more perfectly than most countries. Sure it is cold, but for the reason I stated above - people will sacrifice year round nice weather for simply a peaceful and secure place to live. Like most Western countries, it is expensive but at the end of the day, the CAD dollar has good buying power against Indian currency -meaning you can still help the family back home tremendously and in life changing ways for them whilst building a good, peaceful, safe and serene place for yourself and your immediate family.
Agreed, considering how safe it is as compared to some parts of the US or other western nations. And that safety isn't something one can ever compromise with.
Excellent points.

Welcome to Canada Oliver. Glad to have you.
interesting, would you like to give a word from your perspective
Canada claims to be one of the wealthy countries, but if you live here, it is not what you imagine at all
I think the reason immigrants are hating on Canada is their expectations were too high and thought that everything in Canada is perfect, which will ultimately lead to a lot of disappointment.
Everywhere you go is gonna have it's pros and cons, for me the pros outweigh the cons compared to a lot of other developed countries.
If you can't reach your goals you shouldn't put the blame on the country you live in. There are a lot of people who came to Canada with nothing and are now millionaires.
And if not millionaires, have a comfortable life with security and no threats of war or political upheaval.
@@susiex9547 exactly, it's like america, we all think of this amazing free land, but in all reality it's not
It’s great if you have a few million to immigrate with :)
As a Canadian, I'd also add that the job qualifications are generally much stricter here to an extent that pushes a lot of people away. For example, if you have a medical license in Japan or South Korea, not only are you ineligible to practice in Canada, but in many cases you need to redo premed as well.
The course requirements and general expectations at university for career paths like medicine, engineering, law, translation, and several other fields are also considerably stricter than in most other countries. It also involves a lot more hands-on experience than is generally the global norm
If some one is qualified in Japan and moving to Canada I would not say it is a wise decision. Japan is far better than Canada.

you cant figure much difference between -20 and -30 C . Ensure your home heating works well.
If you want success in Canada, then learn a trade. We have an oversupply of degree holders. Don’t expect to get into IT, it’s very competitive for example. But skilled trademans, construction, plumbers, electricians, HVAC, we have an extreme under supply. This is from decades of Liberals bringing in college students and pushing everyone to college. Reality is we don’t need more people with degrees in psychology. We need people that can build stuff with their hands. You can earn $75-90k a year within 2 years if you pick a solid trade. Then with industry experience, you can become a contractor and make some serious money, $200-500k+ per year.
I see more misinformation here - few decades back I came to Canada on category " Skill technician" and government recognized my 3 professional skills ! No company was interested. So I took extra study and Canadian certifications - when I came somewhere on an interview they were asking me Do you have Canadian experience ? Result was no job ! I was just lucky when I got some in the field of my profession !
Second point is your rate of salary is very different from province to province - western provinces and North locations obviously get higher chance for that rate what you were writing about - but again it is no rule and big part of luck!
Thanks bro. I will try. Thanks!
The reason why referrals are needed to see specialists is because in universal health are systems, such as in the UK and Canada, it would be too costly on the taxpayer if everyone had direct access to a specialist for every minor illness. That's why family doctors are the frontline doctors who are educated in the field of medicine to determine when a patient requires treatment from a specialist and when they do not. Health are isn't being denied in this case, it's just that it's being balanced against the reality of cost.
Yes, that's true. I find that the wait times to see a specialist can be crazy though. Especially in cities where the population is aging.
Well said! the way in which he was saying this point in particular with a smirk made me want to wring his neck. Healthcare is free at the point of use. This has downsides but also means you don’t have to risk bankruptcy for a health need. Doctors obviously aren’t humans why aren’t they working 24h a day?!
An equivalent arrangement also exists within the privately-ran HMO system in the US.
Why did he think referrals should come from a friend or family member? Research needed to be done there.
I know few people died of cancer because they had to wait to see the specialist. Myself I had to wait more than 3 months for MRI then the test wasn't done properly then I had to wait another 3 months.
I'm Canadian and I am leaving this horrible country for good once the travel restrictions are removed following the Charter Rights court case. This country has become ridiculous and there are much better countries to live in, with better healthcare, lower taxes, better people and lower costs.
Name some countries please

4. Referrals as in, Doctor Referred you to another Doctor. Not some patient referring in hospital.

No we are not anti-social. Try joining a group or take a course. Try a meet up group even. You have to put an effort to meet people and be open to people of all backgrounds and be willing to learn about their cultures.
I think we value having 2 or 3 really close quality friends over meeting new random people. I would rather have a dinner with my friends and their gfs than go to a bar and meet randoms. Its better keeping your groups tight. Ever watched the show friends? It's like that, hard to get in the friend group when people are that tight.
This is probably already clarified but "Referrals" I would say means that an hospitalist(IM)/generalist needs to refer you to a specialist doctor. You can't just walk into one
I have stayed for 7 years in canada. living in Canada is great for some one who is not happy in their country. After staying here you ll start feeling the same soon or later as you might have felt in your country. bad weather, no value for education from other countries, your experience in other country doesn't matter here, canadin experience is what employers are looking for. I am going back to my original country after wasting my prime years in this country. if you find it good! Enjoy. Good day.
There are ups and downs in every country
But I have to say, no matter what the place you are first is your real home secondary is secondary. The heart always wants to go back to home💕
As a duel British/Canadian, I can honestly say, both countries pose challenges for new immigrants. It doesn't matter where you move, it's always going to tough moving to a new country.

Facts
Welcome to Canada give us your money. Drive a Cab.
CANADA BECAME SOO EXPENSIVE THAT PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THE COUNTRY.
I totally understand your perspective, however I have some food for thought. Basically the points mentioned in the Video are not exclusive to Canada - in-fact they're there everywhere in one way or another.... I think we should look at the benefits that outweigh the handicaps rather than focusing on the negatives...
1. For the "job" market Demand is less than supply? Shouldn't it be the other way around - More demand for jobs and less supply? Or maybe you meant there are more supply of "talent" and less demand? - Plus processes vary from job to job - I've sat for 11 rounds of interview at one of my jobs in China.
2. Tax rates, as published by the Federal income tax dept. says, are in salary brackets - with the highest bracket i.e. over 200K CAD is 33% averagely. If you include sales tax and health care etc , that's living expenses - Economics doesn't include these as part of your income tax. Sweden has a 64% tax rate, China 32%, India 32%... get my drift? I think in Canada you at least get back what you pay in taxes.
3. Weather... really? Delhi sees temperatures of over 40ºC in summer, Beijing -20ºC in winter, Singapore has rains all year long.
4. Healthcare - Lines can be daunting and in finding a good doctor hard - but look at the US healthcare system... The no. of patients standing in lines in India... Point is.. it's chaotic everywhere - even a place like Japan, where the healthcare system is supposedly perfect. And when you talk about referrals - i think it's more from the GP referring you to a specialist. And you'll def. find a doctor late at night if you visit the emergency, even in Canada
This reply of yours has been such an eye-opener for me.
So you are telling that there are no lines in emergency rooms?
@@jgddhruviii The lines in emergency clinics are determined by priority. If you require immediate care (because you are unconscious, in a lot of pain, bleeding profusely, about to give birth, etc) the doctor/nurse will see you sooner than someone who came in to emergency because they have a cold.
Which is why, if your issue is NOT an emergency, try to take another route by seeing your family doctor or going to a walk-in clinic before seeking help through the emergency clinic.
@@SanaSamaha dear sir, this is all subjective, walk-in clinics that I have visited to need a referral of some one, family doctors don't give an immediate appointment and in case its a 3 month old person what would be your guidelines here. Can that child be kept into an ER for 6 hrs? All I am saying is Canadian processes are not high and mighty as published or portrayed and its not hunky dory here either.
@@jgddhruviii Have never seen reports of Hunky Dory emergency services anywhere, including Canada. Also never seen anyone lose their house and life savings due to health issues (aside from addiction), no matter how bad, in Canada.
Express entry means you will be working the express line at Walmart, PHDs doing Uber and working security.
Just because the immigration people recognized your degree it doesn't mean employers will.
Canada is just for people who want cheap labor jobs and want to live 10 to a house.
Taxes, groceries, utilities are high and salaries are very low for any professional job compared to the US.
The only good thing is you can get a TN work visa for the US.
If you go to Canadian airports, they all have US immigration officers, and you can see all the smart Canadians with good degrees requesting US work visas, some in tears as US officers refuse.
If people come from poor or middle class family, Canada is heaven for them. Upper middle class and rich have better life back home.
I concur. I have been 20 years here and I can't wait for my kids to have fully grown up so I can leave this country.
Been here 18 years ready to leave
@@nikeish can i know why
Where you Will go?
Most Canadians won't be too upset if most immigrants.
I was born & raised in this country but, half of my family immigrated here. I found this video interesting & informative. I have American friends who find Canada a very expensive country in which to live & I agree whole heartedly. Regarding jobs, Canada has always had a shortage of trades people & have had to bring them in from other countries. They earn great money. Is it just that they don't have Ph.D, B.A., M.S. after their name? Some of those people are unemployed while Trades people are always working & earning a very good living.
Statically, immigrants are the most highly educated in Canada. Please correct your wrong information.
@@AB-ff5ri No I won't! You misunderstand. I was not implying at all that Trades people are uneducated. I was implying they are highly skilled.
@@AB-ff5ri Trades people are not uneducated. Educate yourself.
@@calicokat4172 I agree. Trades are very very underrated and they make a very good living in Canada. Students are starting to realize how important the trades are, but it’ll take another generation or so for more of them to realize how valuable the industry is.
Canada is making Canadians want to leave as well. This is what happens when you let the Liberals stay in power.
There are pros and cons to every country you just have to think really hard and plan out your moves carefully
these are extremely important cons in my opinion and my situation. While I knew canada was extremely cold, and I knew I'd be paying tax, I was willing to put up with it because at least the health care would be good. But I'm surprised to know it's very inaccessible. :(
@@hbbstn hi! Are you canadian?
How is it "very" inaccessible?
Don't believe this video. He's wrong about so many points.
Our health care is trash, my mother died waiting for a doctor. Complete and utter shit for a system
Healthcare is not inaccessible. Look up stats for general health of population.
I made the biggest mistake of my life when I left the US to return to my country during the pandemic. Life in Brazil is financially miserable for someone like me who lived most of his life in another country

@@joaov.m.oliveira9903 Because living here is detrimental to my living experience.

You said the demand for a job is less and the supply of jobs is higher so how is it difficult to find a job?
housing is not expensive considered the wages.However the standard of living in Scandinavian countries and in particular Norway and Denmark are substantially higher, with the same type of benefits.
There are several surveys like that and most of them are very superficial. For instance you have the "Best in the world " survey from the us News and World Report which I suspect they have used. This survey is more about the impression people from the US have about the outside world than a survey of the countries in question. As for economics one of the best indication on a countries living standard in the GDP based on purchasing parity which compare the productivity while adjusting the price level in order to have an impression of purchasing power. In Canada this is about 46000$ pr capita, Denmark 63000$ US 65000$ Norway 75000 $ Switzerland 82000$ Norway and Denmark score higher than Canada on education, less crime, and expectancy.
Sweden is beyond doubt the country with the lowest standard of living in Scandinavia. The purchasing power of the average Norwegian family is estimated be 40% higher than that of a Swedish family. Many young swedes come to Norway to work. Hardly anyone go from Norway to Sweden to work.
And they pay substantially WAY more in taxes for that standard. With the kind of social safety nets they enjoy as a result of that. Not an across the board comparison.
You don't want a bunch of Indians flocking to Scandinavia though lol.
@@anythinggoes5574 There are already many Indians here. My next door neighbor for instance.
What I think what needs to happen is realistic expectations , the streets here are not pavedin gold, we have a housing crisis where for many obtaining the dream of an affordable home is next to impossible. As well the profession in a former country the person will have to upgrade their credentials to Canadian education standards to proceed in working in their field in many cases. A good example would be an Electrician let's say from another country. Our food prices are also very high average family of 4 it will cost 250 dollars a week for groceries, most who arrive will start with menial minimum wage jobs, minimum wage is only 15dollars an hour. Also if one needs to learn English that is also a difficulty to overcome.
Also there will be the obvious culture shock for many, study the laws of Canada, specifically women's rights for example, may seemed biased statement but sadly in many countries women do not experience the same rights I grew up with and that is a cultural thing in many cases.
I am the gr granddaughter of an immigrant, they had to start from nothing, worked the land so to speak, but generations later I am thankful for their sacrifices.
You are so right... I married a french Canadian who lives with me in east Europe and now, after 5 years she does not even want to hear about moving back to Canada... Most Canadians do not realized al they lost in the last 30 years (l lived in Canada for 27 years myself). Here, you do not have to wait on getting a family doctor, if you need to see one, just make a call and announce yourself for later the same day. Kindergartens for kids free with people that got a college degree in working with kids, 365 days of weather that doesn't want to kill you, at most 20 minutes away of anything, $10 flights anywhere in Europe where you have a chance to see, eat, hear and experience a complete new culture and language... but in the end, the weather and over taxation (for bad roads and a pitiful health system) is what make living in Canada a real challenge.
Where in Eastern Europe?
I'm a Canadian, born and raised. For those who are thinking of moving to Canada, this video is accurate. We pay an exorbitant amount of taxes and our healthcare is terrible. Although there are pros to living in Canada, this video gives fair examples of Canada's downsides.
Yes you are right. 👍
Healthcare is not terrible. Not as great as much of Europe but better than many places for average people.
We Don’t pay exorbitant taxes. The tax breakdown part is worded strange and not really the sensical reality.
Anyone who doesn't still live in their mother's basement knows how accurate this video is. If you earn 6 figures you could pay as high as 53% in income taxes. On top of that, you still pay property taxes if you are a homeowner. Let's not forget 15% sales tax. As far as healthcare (or lack thereof) expect to wait anywhere from 6-10 hours at the ER. No this is not due to covid. It's been like that since I've been born (long time ago). There are better options than Canada.
@@pooch443078 there’s nothing wrong with paying that much income tax and it’s really closer to starting at 40% for ‘6 figures’. It ensures that there are Atleast some safety nets so fewer people are left behind. And our healthcare system is better for a majority of people and when we need it most. It might not be as good if you are the very wealthy but even people earning ‘6 figures’ have trouble covering $100,000+ hospital bills. And if you go by the numbers we spend a lot less and get about the same or better than US citizens.

It's easier for some than others. The Intl Experience Program (work holiday visa etc) is only available for people from some countries. If you're from smaller countries you have to wait on a job offer to even apply for work permit and getting a job in your field is tied to factor in points for immigration. The best route is basically school and that's expensive

The healthcare in Canada is already pretty trash if you live in a city, but if you live in a rural area it’s far worse. Basically no doctors want to live in the country so there’s a perennial shortage. Heaven forbid you have an emergency because your chances are drastically lowered on getting genuine help.

+1 social credit
I'm Canadian and am so happy to be leaving this country for good next summer!
i will give you a list why someone leave canada after having permanent residency also.
1) High taxes low income
2) Extremely expensive compared to
other english countries.
3) On avg 50% income will goes to just
rent/ housing.
4) Very harsh weather only couple of months of summer in a year.
5) No social life lot of loneliness. people are very quiet but not rude as americans.
6) everything is far ,far and far isolated inspite of living in same country you may not able to meet family r frnds more than once a year.
7) ppl think PR is everything bt most of ppl do menial jobs even after getting passport also.
8) Not many white collar jobs canada needs only labours and india is biggest exporter.
9) you can't save money in canada infect i hav seen ppl living in other english countries have big big bungalows in india but not one who lives in canada make big properties in india.
10) it's debt nation for sure one will always be in debt forced to buy credit.
11) no transportation between cities you have to own a car or take a expensive flight ticket. in fact transportation is heart of a country.
12) Food is all GMO and standards are low compared to european countries.
13) Too many asians created filth in canada by misusing tax system/ labours in fact indians are leading in it.
14) students who invest 20-25 lakhs for studies fall into debt trap and can't repay loan in 4-5 years also.
15) Health care is a biggest joke in canada you will be lucky if you alive untill your appointment turns up.
16) health care is just free but it's never be on your reach .you have to wait years to for surgeries most indians come to india for medical treatment if canada health care is great then why they have to visit india for treatment ..?
17) canadian english is very poor compared to other english countries there's no any accent. one can speak hindi/punjabi can get a job easily.
18) punjabis always think canada is a heaven but it's not most of them work in menial jobs. those who own big farms n building they made money by abusing employees by stealing workers wages.
19) LMIA is just a scam no employer will pay money as stated on contract. it's a modern day slavery closed work permit.
20) you ll be away from family :friends can't visit india once in a year also because so expensive tickets and no savings totally it's a shame when you visit india seeing the people who make so much wealth here in india.
21) india is not great than canada but nowadays wages are really good in india.

Good, Canada should be for Canadians
I’m Canadian born in Canada 🇨🇦 and my dream is to semi retire in India. Sadly I see so many young people coming to Canada from India with big dreams only to be let down. I see so many highly educated men and women from India working full time in the fast food business , security guards etc. unable to find a job in their fields. The reason is they don’t have experience or the company’s just don’t want to hire people from India. Also the cost of living in Canada from rent to food to transportation is astronomical. It’s really the sad truth.
India have no jobs bro. India pays us in pennies they doing that job because they are in study visa. Many of them dont do that after studies. Still canada better than in India from every terms

those who can't face cold winter please avoid going Canada it is very harsh in and many places except Vancouver it is bearable, so please think twice before going to Canada.
Vancouver has mild winters
lmfao i would say winters suck, because theres not ENOUGH snow lol.
Who bases where they are going to live on weather and not quality of life? Yes, the winter is cold but Ill take that any day of the year over mass shootings or violent tribal conflicts in warmer weather.
@@susiex9547 By mass shootings are you talking about the US?
American crime statistic are skewed by the mega cities. The vast majority of suburbs and towns are as safe as Canada and Europe. However the cities are third world in comparison, and are hellholes.
Canada has very good marketing to lure immigrants - fooled me! It does not live up to expectations. That's the bottom line unless you come from some really horrible place. My last 2 years in Montreal - was totally impossible to see a doctor. Had to go to Emergency and waited there for 12 hours before seeing anyone! you keep on hearing about how great Canadian Health Care is - so not the case.
Exact same experience in Montreal. Don't even really go to the doctor anymore, because if I do, I know I'll have to take days off work.
I agree with you, the horrible part to find a lot of homeless people born and raised in Canada.
People complain about the cold and it sucks but I've heard just as many people complain about the heat in places like Africa/SA and India and the extreme heat also comes with dangers such as severe heat stroke...
