Icredibly right , how do you know my personal experience? I go back home to visit and my family feels sorry for me. So much so that they will not let me pay!
1. Loneliness and family discontent 2. Financial difficulties 3. No willingness to start over 4. High real estate prices 5. Political correctness & mentality 6. Medicine 7. Cultural difference 8. Raising kids 9. Weather 10. High expectations
Hello everyone...I've been to Canada, and back in South Africa, a failed immigrant,I'm a finance professional. The country is inviting thousands especially from the subcontinent so they bring and burn all their savings in Canada. Its not about how hard it is or how quickly you can get into Canada. Its about what you will do there. There are simply not enough jobs for skilled educated workers , its ok for meat cutters and other blue collar jobs who have nothing to lose,but not for qualified professionals. It's a harsh, unwelcoming country where Ex professionals from India end up driving taxis. My advice...if you are a professional degreed worker in India, Please do NOT move to Canada unless you have a confirmed job offer or have done your research. Do your math about salary vs. Living expenses. Good luck. Don't jump into a lake if you can't swim...
haha the last part.. As a Canadian i agree with everything you said. Anyone who says otherwise had a'lot of help from friends and family to make it. Beautiful Country but i would love to move somewhere i can actually afford to have a family
Canada is for the refugees and blue collars indeed. And maybe for people who want to start over bec they realized they hate their profession. Or maybe for the free spirited person who just want to pursue frivolous things. Canada is amazing if you're from those categories.
@@R0ll3Napper Just so you know, there is no American dream anymore. That is just bullshit to keep the salaried stiffs hopeful that they too may one day succeed in the US of A. This lie has been eroded over the years so much that many people in the US recognize it for what it is - a lie. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2017/jun/20/is-the-american-dream-really-dead In fact, this generation is far worse off than their grandparents were. You have this ever increasing wealth inequality gap and millions of people living from paycheque to paycheque, not knowing if they lose their job how will they get medical coverage? Canada has many entrepreneurs who make money by selling into the US market. So obviously your entrepreneurs are leaving many gaps in your market that Canadians do exploit. Your very question underscores how indoctrinated you are to something that doesn't exist anymore.
I really want to move to western countries.I cannot adapt to my own culture and it is really hard to find job here.I feel I don't belong to my own country
@@hardeepbabhauri7379 it all depends on your perspective, like what you consider important in your life. For you it may be important to meet all basic needs of life and be happy even if that means being alone or away from people you care. If that makes you happy, it is fine. The whole point is if people find happiness by going abroad. You may feel happy this way. But for some people, they may think differently, they may consider having one meal with people who care for you better than having two meals sitting alone somewhere. That is why you will see even rich people who have no money problems, yet still suffer from depression. Cos they lack the feeling of belonging to somewhere, and feel empty inside.
chek887 : I lived in Canada for 35 yrs; I just recently left it. Yes, it was good 20 yrs ago, but it has changed and the ppl changed, too, as life got harder.
Canadians sometimes asked me why I moved to Canada and I realized what they want to hear - they were chasing compliments such as: Canada has fresh air and freedom. So this is what I would answer them: - I love the climate, I couldn’t get enough of the cold - I dislike efficiency and effective execution of infrastructure construction - I enjoy passive aggressive attitudes at work - It’s so amazing to be surrounded by so many people in different backgrounds who secretly hate each other - I love being stuck on either TTC or hwy401 every single day, it makes me feel so calm - Air Canada is the best airline in the world, they are just as good as Chinese restaurants because there is no customer service - Why do you have to pay $10 for unlimited phone data when you have Bell, Rogers, Telus, that give you the most expensive phone plan in the world? They are the best! - Oh you know what my fav season is? Tax season! So I can eventually contribute half of my salary to the politicians who don’t even know how to spend it
nozecone Come on it’s not all bad. Canadian passport is pretty good. And I’m not saying it’s a horrible place to live. It’s the rosy image of ‘nice’ Canada and Canadians that is far from reality and I think people should be aware of that.
Have you considered the possibility that people might be asking why you moved to Canada because: a) they actually are interested in why you moved to Canada; b) they're trying to learn something about the country you left; c) they're trying to get to know you; or, d) they are just making idle conversation and really don't give a shit what you think of Canada or of anything else?
Why have you all forgot to mention how extremely expensive it is to travel within Canada ??? That’s what I hate the most about this country. My friends is the US buy round trip plane tickets for $100 to $300 whereas plan tickets in Canada is from $400 to $800 for a one way. Absolutely horrific!!
I have been living here for almost 8 years now. There was a time when I got up in every morning with the thought of killing myself. My loneliness made me so depressed and I’m still struggling. Going back is not a option for me. I have spent so much money and time to survive here. Canada is just a beautiful picture. Canada markets itself very well but reality is different. Canadian immigration invites highly skilled and educated people , but there are not many job opportunities. Most immigrants end up working a lowest wage jobs.
I appreciate what you said. It is all accurate. Fortunately you survived that deadly phase. Going back may still be an option unless you have already traded your citizenship (If that is the case and you are from India, you may at least obtain OCI now). If you are young enough, you may think of re-immigrating to another country near the equator or in the tropics (e.g., Australia). God bless you.
My wife brought me up here,I was born in Latin America-I am a mathematician with a PhD diploma,it wasn't that difficult for me to get a good job,I also speak besides Spanish which is my mother tongue English and French fluently. The lonelines part is true,my wife was damn depressed when I met her,and she can spend years without seeing her mom and sister as a Latino is pretty difficult for me not being able to see my parents all the time.
As an Australian living in Canada specifically Toronto I agree 100% with all your points. It's expensive and depressing here. I do have a great job that pays well but going home is always on my mind.
@@carlitoselcremita7816 Australia is great I came here to Canada for my work but the weather and lifestyle is better in Australia in my opinion. Canada is a huge country so life can be very different where you are but Toronto weather is only warm and sunny for really 3 months of the year. The rest of the year is cooler and colder and rain or snow.
Blunt ………. Canada is boring . -They elect a PM who doesn't have a mental ability big enough to run a lemonade stand . - Canadians hate an immigrant who in few years of living in Canada is doing better than they are . ( that has a lot to do with intelligence ) 3. Canadians think that they know everything , Everything is done the Canadian way .If you suggest a better way of doing something the Canadian (in a very "patriotic " way) will inform that if you don't like the Canadian way then " you can go back where you came from . That is my observation …...Perhaps they are changing...…..
Stop whining. If you can read and access the Internet, there is no excuse for not learning about this stuff BEFORE you emigrate. I had thought about living in Spain, until my Internet research revealed how much racism existed there. It's an individual's personal responsibility to educate themselves before making such a big decision.
@@tomkusz3741 ,You are right.I throw out Canadian PR, a piece of Shit, some one claims, that is a mint.Poor Canadian, under debt traps and heavy work load, covered liability.
Sorry, it does not mean everybody in Canada accumulates debt. It is your pre-programmed karma (cause and effect coming from past lives) to accumulate debt. End of story
Alfreda Villanueva And you blame YOUR inability to manage yourself on Canada? Why don't you go test yourself somewhere else to see how inept you really are
Little Jeremy Benson Actually you DON'T know if karma does or doesn't exist AND you don't know that Jesus is God. BELIEVING something is not a proof... Tone it down
I've been in this country 30 years and I have never been able to go back to the standard of living that I was accustomed to as a boy. Went from the bed to the floor. Folks, if you're used to having a household staff in your home country, in Canada, you will be a slave. Also, don't be fooled. In Canada, more than 60 percent of what you make belongs to the state.
Igor thank you very much for this honest informative video. I went to Ontario back in 2015 for a vacation trip with my family for a week. We did enjoy our vacation and I think it's a beautiful country to visit at least once in a life time. I agree with all what you've mentioned in your video. I noticed that people in Canada were so distant from each other when it comes to socializing and daily interaction. I felt life was tasteless if I were going to live in such country. There is no real culture or meaningful life except working hard for long hours, earn/spend money and pay taxes. Also you mentioned a valid points regarding raising your children in a society where the gov intervene in your personal and family life, which is one of the worse things I can imagine in case my way of life or beliefs wasn't Canadian enough to be part of its society. I also noticed no body where in the streets during the evening, even though it was summer time. I assume in winter there will be no sign of life in the streets due to the frozen weather. I hold a US & Saudi passports, but I live in Saudi Arabia. My wife and parents didn't want to live in the US, so we lived and raised our kids here in S Arabia. I have lived in other countries in Europe and Asia for both education and work during the last 25 years. But Canada is surely out of my list when it comes to living there for any reason. Consider me a new subscriber. Thanks
@@grandmalovesmebest lol its true, I tell people who live in the UK that all the time. You are not a tree. Life is too short to be miserable in your situation.
I graduated from the best university in my country, petroleum engineering, studied 2 more years here. Canadians say that my accent is barely noticeable, IELTS score of 8. It has been 6 years since I graduated and all the jobs I got were to pay the bills. I could not save any money, couldn't find a decent job in my field and my career is screwed, after all that effort. Even though I don't want to, i might have to go back home. It is painful, not the get any return for your hard work. Maybe I am doing something wrong... But most of my colleagues left already. I spent the years 24-32 here, best years of my life; away from my family, friends, here by myself to barely make a living. I am exhausted and heart broken, thinking what to do
@@lestat8656 we have almost same background and major, I'm sorry for what you have been through since the oil market is low now and even future, can we discuss more through email?
I was born in Canada and live in Canada and this guy is spot on. The Political correctness is really a new thing that has not fully caught on with many though. If some parent swats their whining kid in public I'm ok with it. The taxes are insane and way to many laws for everything you do. Just to drive a car we treat it in Ontario like your getting a pilot's license.
Canada has a few big flaws: 1. It is extremely extremely expensive 2. The winters are brutal 3. People who are not well connected cannot find good jobs and good jobs are few and far between.
Loneliness can break you, and you won't have a shoulder to cry, i remember there was time i just needed to talk to someone but i couldn't. When i got a job i had to work so hard that my life was all working and paying bills.
It was the destination for immigrants in the 80's and 90's when can Canada was the richest country in the world. Now Canada has gone down hill. Cost of living is insane.
Canada was never the richest country in the world but what would youtube comments be if people weren't always saying incorrect things. But yes cost of living is ridiculous.
So many of these points are not exclusive to Canada. These apply to many nations around the world, like Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands and Norway.
In Canada I made 17 per hour doing a trade in Australia my first entry level job paid 30 an hour LMAO wages are so high it's ridiculous. In Canada u can be a master's degree holder and make 17 an hour lmao
@@twiston43 Its worse in europe. French immigrants want to leave europe for the UK. French youth are leaving france in droves. www.google.com/amp/s/www.politico.eu/article/europe-failing-migration-crisis/amp/
@@imani706 Then what's this? www.migrationpolicy.org/article/migration-netherlands-rhetoric-and-perceived-reality-challenge-dutch-tolerance www.justlanded.com/english/Netherlands/Articles/Visas-Permits/Immigration Dont lie just to make your country look good.
Everything else aside, you really need to be aware of how the climate here can seriously affect your mood -especially if you're from a country that gets more sunlight (closer to the equator). And its not just a mental thing either, the vitamin D and melatonin levels will be different here and that physically affects your body. Its important to spend time outdoors even in the winter (in spite of the cold), the sun is at a low angle and the amount of vitamin D it causes you to produce is reduced. This can affect both your mood and your physical health and immune system. Combined with the bitter cold this can be a recipe for depression and sickness. You might want to take Vitamin D supplemements or eat a diet rich in vitamin D , as well as getting a full spectrum mood light to help you make it through your first few winters.
Every culture is different and I know that living here in Ottawa and seeing the different cultures and it is upsetting and degrading to we Canadians to hear how foreign people will hurt us but don't hurt them back. This is their crazy mentality. One Arab/Muslim man was severely beaten in Toronto just the other day and is fighting for his life because he confronted two thugs who were harassing him and his family after they left a picnic. These people should never have confronted the thugs and should have had a cell phone on them and called the police instead. Today the man is in grave danger and it will take many months to start to recouperate. People from other countries don't understand the ways and no matter where you live in any country don't confront anyone - you don't know who is who and what they will do - just walk away. Your life and well being is more important than to deal with the thugs.
The Canadian government put forth a motion (M-103) calling on the government to condemn "islamophobia" but in their travel advisory guide they advise us not to travel to or exercise extreme caution (often citing terrorism) when traveling to just about every muslim majority country (actually might even EVERY muslim majority country as I haven't come across one which doesn't have these warnings) yet they don't have such warnings for just about every country which doesn't have a muslim majority. Are they guilty of what they put for the motion (M-103) for? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the dots... Quran (2:216) Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it, but it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not"
Brett, maybe you should look up the defamation/libel laws in this country. You can say something truthful about someone and they can still sue you for defamation. You have to prove that your intent was not to harm the person's reputation and you are guilty before ruled innocent. On this premise alone, there is no free speech in Canada. And that's before you start getting into these gender laws that we're starting to put in now. You might get away with it, but that means nothing when the laws are in the books.
I work 12 hours a day 6 days a week at the end I still have nothing ! the system in CANADA is designed to keep you in dept and every year getting worse and worse life use to be easier
This is why you NEVER vote liberal, NDP, or Green. They live only to increase your taxes and raise the cost of living for everyone. Socialists don't give two shits about your well being. They only care about themselves.
I’m a Canadian. Born and raised. And I’m leaving. Tired of this horrible country. We do not have culture, nothing to keep us in common. Trudeau took care of that with immigration. Unemployment rates are increasing, national debt is increasing, our dollar is not improving. Hospitals sucks, horrible wait times. There is no opportunity, not sure what this guy is saying. Living in Toronto or Winnipeg or Vancouver will cost you a fortune. Again, thanks to Trudeau for lifting minimum wage. Peace
That the difference between you and Quebec, all of Canadian culture come from quebec(hockey, poutine,National anthem,the name Canada). Quebec his the true canadian culture.
I'm Canadian. I Left. Biggest reason was the political correctness. You can't say what you really think in Canada. The culture is about not-offending anyone. Only saying things that are socially accepted.
The fact that this video was recorded in a parking lot (with yet ANOTHER parking lot in the background) for a FULL 15 MINUTES with ZERO traffic interruptions and ZERO car horns says everything you need to know about living in Canada ha! But great video -- so many truths in it -- but it is an awesome place to live, if you can wrap your head around it!
I wrote a famous article about this topic back in 2005. They sh*t all over me and tried to destroy my life. Now in 2021 the Internet and TH-cam are filled with videos about this issue. I guess I was ahead of my time.
hahahaaaa I laughed so hard at the 5th point (different mentality). I don't live in Canada myself but there were times when I unintentionally offended foreigners with my jokes. So now whenever I talk to foreigners I put on my "international face" and keep all of my jokes at bay. This turns me into a rather quiet and shy person, I feel like I'm tiptoeing around all the time. I'm happy that I'm not the only person who feels that way. :D
We in Canuckistan don't have that problem. We check all our responses through the Ministry of Truth first... It needs to pass gender equality laws, LGBTQ+ laws, feminist laws, culture laws, diversity laws, and sensitivity laws, before, for a nominal fee, you will be given permission to make said statement for as long as it is deemed unoffensive. If in the future, said meaning of statement has changed due to language fluidity and is deemed offensive, you will be held accountable for your actions. Gulag and re-education center times depend on your race and gender.
This is not the Canada I know, I live in Alberta and was raised on a farm. I had a wonderful life but we were raised to be respectful of other people. we worked hard but had a good life. If we lipped off our parents we would get a slap across the face at least. I am 60 years old and things were much different when I was growing up. You had great respect for your parents, elders, teachers, etc.
My family moved to Canada from Scotland in the early 1960s when it was a LOT easier and more affordable. But I have to agree with pretty much everything you say in this video.
I agree 100%, been through that after living there for 6 years. But still loving so many things about it, Canada teach me invaluable lessons, and some of the best people I ever meet are Canadians.
Moved here from UK. Canada is beautiful place no doubt about it but there is no life here. Work work work. Get 2 weeks holiday a year. It's way behind Europe. Can't wait to move back.
Add lack of Canadian women interest on Immigrant men on the list as well. I was lied that Canadian women were drooling on Indian men. White women prefer White men mostly, with exceptions of course.
@@frankzilla6008 Big lie by my friends though. If women were dyeing to have sex with us - I don't think any immigrant would be depressed in Canada lol.
The only thing that I would add, and he touched on this point is that Canada is incredibly expensive. There is a reason that Canadians have record debt levels.
Daria Romanenko I left after a year. I was paying so much in tax and in rent is was crazy! The Canadian people were very closed and not too friendly. The people are well mannered, but very closed and not welcoming. I was working in multimedia design and saw about 40% of my salary go in taxes. Also car prices were ridiculous! Added to the cost of the car the insurance and gas is beyond expensive!
It depends on people! Freaking refugees coming to Canada and USA and when they are feeling freebie of course each of them don’t wanna work and move them asses all refugees getting receiving benefits from the government🤢🤢 who is smart and wants to build them future they will find a job and work hard to have better life and not be government puppie🐶😎✌️
@@Rezvan7171 frist iam not talking about usa i have no idea what going there and i never get a penny from goverment since day one i start working with my relative some year i paid over 8000$ depend my net income but what iam saying its true if you dont work like horse you not gonne make living here other thing tell me how much goverment gone give it to you each months are you living on that i dont think so
Great job Igor. You sound so realistic and i appreciate that. It helps those of us that are considering traveling to Canada. Looking forward to more Videos.
I lived in Canada for 7 years doing my Master's and PhD and despite being eligible I didn't apply for permanent residency and left the country. I was in Kingston and although I tried so hard, I wasn't able to find even one friend over there. Igor is correct Canadians mostly wear a mask that smiles, cheers but who knows what's going on down there. Plus I discovered the Canadian educational system is highly corrupted. All the values and respects go to the undergrad kids who pay tuition fees. No awards for International students and no matter how competitive and hard working you are, you'll never compete with a Canadian student because the priority is always with her/him.
Yes priority should always go to the citizen. Thats how it should be! Where i come from they give scholarships to international students, leaving locals no space in the university!! We locals have to go to foregin universities while govenment ones are filled with foreigners!!
One reason... to get to warmer/beach weather city in USA.... BETTER HEALTH CARE in USA... but you have to pay for it... taxes too high in Canada... that's all I have... now I will watch this video to get the rest...
I really love Canada and all, It's a beautiful country but I do agree with everything he said. It's quite accurate. Unless you're coming here with lots of money in your bank account and you don't need to work. But if you are already well off in your country and peace and order is not an issue. I don't recommend migrating here, otherwise you'll experience the same frustrations. Another thing that he didn't mention is, you can't practice your profession once you move here, you need to go back to school to do some upgrades + you need to pass your licensure exam. I think that's common frustrations among professional immigrants. You can be a doctor in your country but you'll be nobody here unless you get your license. Most Canadians are polite but racism here is also prevalent especially if you are a person of colour.
People who are well off in their own country do not migrate to another unless it has to do with a certain profession, or you are transferred to a job by your company or some sort of a reason. You don't go and spend all of your money to come here or anywhere and end up disappointed and broke. There is no magic rainbow anywhere nor a pot of gold and many die trying. Live with the realities of life. Canada is very very expensive especially Vancouver and Toronto. I as a Canadian could not afford those cities even where we live now in Ottawa. Live with reality and life is mighty short and be happy. I almost lost my husband this winter to pneumonia and sepsis and he was never sick before. We got my husband by the paramedics to the hospital just in time or he would have died.
Flav C the same thing happened to my husband. My husband studied computer programming in his native Lebanon and when he came to Canada his degree meant nothing at all. We later threw all of his studies down the garbage shute - all gone for nothing. Many educated people do not stay in Canada nor the US at all and go back home. Canada is for what they call in French LES DEMUNIES the very poor who have nothing at all. Good and educated people do not come to Canada nor the US and yes racism is very prevalent and we went through it (my husband and I) and we stay far away from the public and want nothing to do with them. I am telling all of you the truth from my hear and soul. My husband has been fed up with Canada from the beginning.
Davis Urdaneta Social justice types like to shit on European & North American countries which are the least racist in the world. My comment was a reminder to you that there are much worse places in the world. The people who built Europe & North America are getting a little fucking tired of the intersectional, perpetual victimhood narrative.
Moved to Toronto area in October 2006, from O.C. California with Canadian husband. Relocated to Atlanta area in July 2008, ........... SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS POORER! WTF was I thinking!!! And for those of you who rave about Canada’s awesome free healthcare, .... it ain’t. You pay for it in massive taxation and dismissive healthcare unprofessionals who don’t seem to give a damn about you or your health. They just want to bill the government by scheduling your annual physical in 3 or 4 separate appointments which can be spread out over a several weeks period. And after all of that, they won’t even give you any test results, answer any questions, and you will receive absolutely nothing in writing. Thanks goodness I moved back over the border because, later that year my new doctor diagnosed me with MS. I’d been having symptoms for months (exacerbated by ungodly cold weather), but my Canadian doctor (which took a year to acquire) didn’t pay me any attention and got upset with me when I told him that I thought that he was being dismissive and not uncaring. And in Canada you can’t just go to another doctor if the one you have isn’t a good match. You’re SCREWED because their aren’t any other doctors to go to. Mine was an hour and a half away from my home, ..... each way! Canada is a great country for 3rd or 2nd world immigrants, but if you come fr Europe or the U.S., DO NOT MOVE TO CANADA! It’s a MASSIVE STEP DOWN IN QUALITY OF LIFE!!! And I won’t even go into the unbelievably sky high taxes, prices, lack of choices for consumers, expensive services, laughable and ramped ANTI-AMERICANISM, the great Canadian inferiority complex, and I’ve never ever seen or even heard of an ENTIRE NATION SO COMPLETELY POSSESSED BY PASSIVE- AGGRESSION!! OMG! WTF! You’ve been officially warned. Canada is a great place to visit. And an even greater place to leave.
Dave Smith Canada is awful but living amongst hillbilly ‘tards in Texas would be hell. I guess if you don’t care to have adult conversations with people with functional brains, Texas is fine.
S.O.S if I tell you my horror story about the evils of Canada you-all would believe me I am crying reading the comments cause I have 6 children & 12 grandchildren no money at all to get out cause every time I start a business they send attackers on me it's a nightmare they do whatever and get away so there is no real law here pray for us
Most Canadians over the age of 60 would agree completely......political correctness, education, and personal liberties taken by children (and supposed 'adults' who act like spoiled children) who were never 'taught better'.....suck. Even Canadians whose families have been here since the 1500s....are leaving...can't take it anymore.
Loneliness will make you leave. Never experienced that kind of nothingness. It is empty & cold. Clothes are very expensive. No Grocery or deli near by. You have to drive 5 or 5 miles to shop. Everything is in a mall. Not many mom & pop shops exist. No friends nothing. Nothing, Nothing, Nothing. And the cold is gonna annoyed the hell out of you 😬. Everything closes after 10 pm, except Tim Hortons .
Loneliness and lack of jobs. Vancouver is awesome for outdoorsy activities, brilliant downtown core - very walkable. It is great, but if you want to make friends and have a social life, then you will be lonely. I was so lonely in vancouver - it was driving me mad. I would hang around pizza pizza to be around people. You can say you are indian, people wont like you, but I have asked many people who arent and they echoed my sentiments. Not bashing, but it is the reality.
poor you mate.. have you try facebook to connect people around you ? I have similar experience when I first time arrived in China, living in semi-rural area. Lonely at the beginning but I don't give up as I have spent a lot of money .. I tried to connect with people by getting into local communities, churches, dating apps, any social media, and currently I have two circles of good friend there ..
@@kenocontreras I think I can relate. last year I went to Kyoto and Tokyo and my first impression with the people is they trying to avoid communication and keep private. Maybe it just the way of society formed in Japan to reduce every long talking into direct, problem to solution approach. For some countries such as India, some South East Asia, or Western, we are tend to give a background story before we jump into the main question so if you come from these countries you may feel lonely ..
Arjun, you should have tried the maritimes, people there are poor, and terrible winters, but they are kind hearted. People in Ontaio are colder than a 40 degree below Canadian weather.
@Lilly V It's difficult to find a country that is warm and doesn't have issues, for example in Brazil people are murdered at a large scale every day, Australia? they have weather issues and scorpions, snakes etc, Hawai tsunami, New Zeland tsunami etc etc.
@@FBHI I am from Brazil and tell you is not like that. It depends where you are. There are a lot of pacific places to live well and in perfect weather in Brazil.
Canada sucks, if you have a good career/degree, business idea, ambition US is much better. US has variety in climate and landscape, also in the US almost everything costs less, better deals more selection. More pay, less taxes.
I agree with most of your points. I am Canadian and have lived in 34+ countries, including a wonderful time in Kiev (great food!) and currently live in India. Hopefully your opinions and observations can help Canadians and our government to improve (kaizen!). Thank you!

Children can be out of control here, good parenting is a lost art. I wasn't beat as a child but still grew up with manners, treating others with dignity and respect. If I dared to do so I would have been in worse trouble when I got home.
@Ryu-Kishin Yes,if a kid bumps into you because it was not looking where it was going, you say sorry to the kid instead of the kid saying sorry to you.
Wow!!! Like u covered everything dead on!!! Everything he said exactly true...love canada & being Canadian but only got somewhere finally moving back to my husband country...house,land,cars,relatives,culture acceptance,kids better discipline & politeness towards parents & authorities...dentist is way more affordable...this guy really covered it all...thx for sharing
Not only Immigrants choose to give up their life in Canada, the local born Canadian are leaving as well. The country has become a one big socialist shit hole. It's so embarrassing as a Canadian now.
I pay a room for $700 for a room, it's super expensive! If you don't play hockey or a fan you are pretty much screwed living in a small city like Halifax nothing much to do
The expense is rediculous people are always struggling. So many homeleness because they can't afford rent. No work life balance. You only live to work and pay bills. Sadly Canada has become uncaring and cold like the weather. I have seen people who have a bachelor degree being forced to wait on tables because they are unable to find jobs in their field because they want experience. The schools are expensive they take your money and then you are on your own with no experience. No job placement. People don't care
I just saw some of your videos and I would guess that any prospective employer would see that you are a seriously damaged individual with significant psychological issues. Maybe that's why you're having trouble.
There are many people like myself who would agree with me and experiencing the same thing all over North America, young black men, targeted by the police / discrimination / workplace discrimination. Some folks would label me as mentally ill but believe I’m totally Sane.
@@micheas_westward I agree that lots of black men are being harmed and targeted unfairly by law enforcement and by some radicals in society. I am not claiming that racism and bigotry do not exist. However, after watching your videos, I am seriously shocked that you condemn an entire race of people (which by definition is racism) of being guilty of targeting you. I cannot express just how hurtful this is. Do you think because I was born with a lighter skin than you that I and predisposed to be a bigot? You publish these videos and they are damaging...to you. If I worked with you and saw these videos, I would definitely avoid you. You are guilty of what you are accusing other people of.
Before going to Canada for exchange semester I thought maybe I would get a job and live there. After completing my semester there (4 months) I couldn’t wait for the day to finally leave that country. Cold and selfish people, extreme climate, people pulling down each other and expensive life. It’s a very beautiful country to visit with raw nature, but living there is not for everyone.
@@srinivasmadala2350 Canada is a great country with lots of opportunities. They have one of the highest quality of education in the world, research it. But the taxes and weather is a big problem for me. Australia is nice .
Every country, you have to work from the ground up unless you are well off when you get there. Im a Canadian and I find that sitting in the house for 6 months do to the cold is the hardest part!
@@berhoss overall teachers are well paid in the middle class, however most middle class adults earn about 55K and that does not allow you to save much.
I'm glad i found your channel! Night clubs in Canada are where groups of couples go to fornicate. no single folks out there. theyre all at home frustrated at the social live! Unless youre young in a university town.
Igor is right. It is the same in the US. We have an extremely hard time to accumulating wealth in the Americas PERIOD. I want to suggest something for everyone who wants to immigrate to the US, Canada, or Mexico (Or all 3). Tip number 1 - Save the living crap out of your money. When I say save I mean SAVE. After you pay for necessities (e.g., rent, bills, food, phone, car payment, fuel [IN THAT ORDER]) then save what is left over. Beer/Alcohol is not a necessity, tobacco is not a necessity, TV/Games/Other Electronic Entertainment is NOT a necessity. The reason I say this is because all you need is a place to live, electricity/gas, food, a way to contact your employer or customers - depending on your personal situation - a vehicle to get around (but, in Canada their is an awesome public transportation system, from what I understand), and fuel for your vehicle. You do not need the newest Call of Duty game. Save what is left over. I save about $1000.00 USD per month (that's $12,000.00 per year) and I invest half of that. If you do that all the time. Then you will begin accumulating wealth within the first 5 to 10 years of your life here in the Americas. I promise. Work hard, save your money, build your wealth. Life will be great for you here.
8 lives I used to say the same thing until I figured it out. I hung out with wealthy people from where I am. I learned to think like them. Everything I said is exactly how they did it. How I did it. Hard work, determination, goal setting, education, PROPER MONEY USAGE, these are the things you must do before becoming wealthy. It is not easier said than done. It's actually the opposite. Why? Because people do not understand this anymore. Igor is right. It is hard. But, it can be done by anyone. Change your way of thought. The biggest reason I want to move to Canada is because of the way things are there. I have a great life and a good amount of money. Definitely more than most. And when I say that education portion. I mean it. You don't have to attend a university. You just have to READ and learn the right things. Read my comment again. I am not talking about people working at McDonald's or similar. I am talking about entrepreneurial, career-minded, goal setting people. If you think that is too hard and "easier said than done". You will never get there bucko. :) Take this with a grain of salt. I hope you have a great day. Thank you for your comment on mine. I appreciate it. Discourse is good. 👍 Ih! One more thing. You don't have to have a new care or a house. Wait until you have enough money not to draw in too much debt. I drove a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 that was beat all to crap for 6 years. I saved my money and ran my own business from my rental house. I then invested my money to grow it. Do that. Trust me. It works.
8 lives That is a really horrible thing to say. I am actually a very nice guy with a nice wife, nice child and a nice life. Calling me names and telling me to stay out of Canada and that you want ONLY CANADIAN BORN while living in my country is pretty messed up. I am reporting you for hate speech. That is just how I am. I thoroughly explain what I am thinking so that the message gets across clearly and correctly. Also so it is not misunderstood nor my intentions misunderstood. I posted that as a supplement to Igor's video and explanations. You are wrong for what you said and it is not right nor nice.
8 lives I simply shared good advice and I also explained how I have what I have. This video was an explanation that I simply added a bit to. Here's a good idea. Why don't you stop being a narcissist on TH-cam? You really do fit in with the majority here in the US. You and others like you are the exact reason we are not happy here anymore. You are a narcissistic loser who I am now going to block.
Flav C Yeah. What a concept. Right?! Give some good advice and explain how you got somewhere. Then, sit back and wait for that one special fish to tell you should stay out of their country as they flip out.
It's the Persian kids in Canada that are mostly arrogant. We moved here 5 months ago and are leaving 6 months early to return to our home country (USA) because it sucks so bad here! Every single point he made has happened to us since we have been here. 1850$ a month for a one bedroom apartment, 100$ out of pocket 10 minute "doctor visits", absolutely nothing to do. Going out to eat is the only "fun" thing to do here, most people are not friendly and hardly anyone socializes, TERRIBLE DRIVERS, rude immigration officers that dont make you feel welcome in this country (because unless you're born Canadian, they really do not want you here.) They make it impossible to find work and be successful regardless of your status in the US. We have had some positive experiences but mostly negative. We were really looking forward to starting over here but it seems its only hurting us at this point rather than helping us. OH AND YOU HAVE TO PAY TO GO TO MOST PUBLIC PARKS TO GO FOR WALKS. WHATTTTT IS THIS PLACE!!!
May I know a few things please? For how long have you lived in Canada? Are you originally from Canada? Why did you come to Canada if you are yourself an immigrant? Also, when did you left Canada and what was your last job in Canada before leaving for Netherlands? Did you get the same level of job in Netherlands? What was your status in Canada? A citizen?
@@jonathantan2469 , what makes you think you will always need a health care? I got sick once or twice in a year that too fever. Not everyone will need health care always... Saving and earning is more important. Stop thinking just because of free health care you don't have to leave.. that's stupid!
@@jonathantan2469 Did you hear what he actually said about the "free" healthcare? As someone famously said: If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it's '"free". Nothing is free. Someone always pays and Canadians face astronomical taxes in every other part of life to pay for that "free" healthcare, which is not very good quality. As he said and is always the case with socialized medicine, the quality suffers and the waits are LONG, particularly to see a specialist which can take many months. But what more should anyone expect when government is the sole provider of healthcare, and we know how government screws everything else up, too? It's the same way with the socialized National Health Service in the UK. Many years ago I had friends who were in a head-on car crash in England. Of the family of four, the father and his eldest son were critically injured. As Americans, they spent several weeks under the NHS in a British hospital, experiencing the rationing of pain medication, lack of attention, and other drawbacks of socialized medicine firsthand. As soon as the father was able to fly, they made arrangements to get him back to a hospital in the U.S. They had to fly him flat on his back, but he wanted OUT of the socialized medical system that badly. I also work for a physician who sees a lot of Canadian patients crossing the border.
.........but my husband left me and my family doesn’t care whether I live or die. I already paid the CAD$2,400 to an employment agency to find a job for me. I’m gonna buy a small mobile home and a reliable car cash, and pray that the cold, work, and the newness of my surroundings can trump the hollowness I feel inside. Nowhere else wanted to look for a job for me and help me become a citizen in two years; not Bulgaria, not St. Vincent, not Dominica. Canada offered to help me. This is the only option that I have left. I read all the complaints down to the end and I must say they were daunting. But, nothing here in Trinidad and nowhere else offers me a new beginning but Canada. I have been hurting for the past two years since my husband left in 2017, the chance to relocate to Canada is the only thing that made me wake up with a hopeful feeling. I don’t know what will happen when I get there and I am hoping for the best, but Canada is all I have.......
Lots of good parts here but also lots of bad things. I will agree with all you said - being from the same part of the world as you Igor, I understand very well what you are saying. My main discomfort if medicine where you know you are not ok and going to see a doctor and he or she is telling you you are ok if your blood work turns normal, not even mentioning the ridiculous wait times to see a specialist or get in to an emergency room. They are all like trained machines, there is no compassion for people or preventive medicine whatsoever. Loneliness, diferent mentality, the lack of esthetics in a form of pretty women on streets or art is something that makes me sad and miss my home. Lots of feministic terminators who don’t give a chance to men to be gentlemen and do some basic gestures as open and hold the doors, bring flowers or take care of them... kids so rude and raised improperly with no respect for elderly, authority or whoever is older... There is much more than that but averall it was our choice to come and stay and you don’t go to a someone else church with your own pray, you learn the new pray... I wish patience and determination to all immigrants as this is not easy to start all over - and wish some understanding and kindness to Canadians... when you look at an immigrant you want to make fun of think or remember about your parents or grandparents who struggled to give you the life you have today.
MY ADVICE and EXPERIENCE as a French: The truth about Canada is that there are jobs available BUT those jobs are mostly survival jobs and even if you have a masters degree, you will end up doing those jobs because they will keep saying “you need local experience”. In the US, at least, you have greater chances to sit in a job that kinda matches your credentials… not so in Canada.. -Another thing that I do not like is the LONELINESS here, it is terrible and eats you out!!! I have two friends of mine who are dealing with depression now as they had false hopes and could not save money! Some are French like me and a few are from Asia and India. Trust me it is VERY hard to save money heee coz the salary are so-so and the cost of living are very very very high! The few that you save just go swallowed by taxes. So yes, I get free healthcare and patati patata but also you pay so much on the other part. -the other aspect is the cost of living … you overpay for EVERYTHING!!! Rents, phone plans, meals etc…. - also since we have arrived here me and my wife also keep fighting and the reason is: MONEY! By living here, you spend a lot and it is extremely hard to save!!! Some of my colleagues at work face the same problems too and one of them is filing for divorce now.. reason: money and probably loneliness as it is very hard to make friends here in Canada… even for me who is European …. you will see that too. People are are nice on the outside (better than in France) but they never invite you at home… never!!! In France, we do that all the Time like once we know the person, we invite that person in or at least spend time with him in a cafe … but here… nothing! - Also 2 years ago, at work, I have had a colleague from a country in Asia (it is relatively a poor country unlike Japan or koreA), and he had an autistic daughter. Although they got fundings as well as benefits, they still chose to leave. You know why? Because here, yes the child gets therapy but outside therapy, the social net and relationship is very poor or almost impossible as it is VERY hard to make friends here… even among other immigrants!! Now, they are back home and since they came back, although they have no funding or even if the therapies there are less good than the one in Canada, their daughter seemed to have become better. Why? Because down there, she has had access to more social interactions and the parents also have more opportunities to have access to respite (as there, it is almost free… just tell someone or a friend to keep an eye on the child and it is fine!). Here in Canada, this colleague of mine kept complaining how hard it is to find respite and how expensive it is!!!! So yes, you have benefits but you also have lots and lots of drawbacks!!! I am sometimes tired of people complaining about how lucky the immigrants should be once they come here as they left their “rubbish” country behind them! in France where I come from, I also hear the same rhetoric but sometimes, there ate good things about poor countries but that many idiots don’t even know! - Regarding the pensions, yes we have the OAS and the CPP but there are conditions to get those (like living 10 or even 20 years in Canada ) and even combined, they cannot rival our French or the German pension amount (I am not saying it coz I am French, but it is just the plain truths); unlike the pensions in Europe which ça cover all of your expenses, the Canadian one just won’t…. Unless you retire in cheaper countries! - Also regarding the welfare, surely the Canadian welfare is better than the one in the US but if you compare it to Europe, it is not that enviable.. look at this vlog: th-cam.com/video/F2VJd-UtuI4/w-d-xo.html - This is why we are thinking of moving back to France or may be try the US later before the worse happens to us too… and yes, I do not want to retire here in Canada either coz of this (in France, I have family and property and honestly for you immigrants, before immigrating here, DO NOT SELL your property… NEVER! Because if things do not work well where you gonna immigrate, then if you sell your house or all your assets in your country, there will be nothing you will come back to. You will have nothing at home so do not sell your house or tour land!!! On the contrary, keep the land in your country and let it gain in value). So yes here is why I do not want to retire in Canada: th-cam.com/video/k1oRl1ZGt8k/w-d-xo.html
Everything you've said is pure gold I've been living in Canada for 11 years and can't wait to leave forever loneliness is killing me the harsh winters i can't take it anymore add to that the Covid BS restrictions the place became a dictatorship .
I am from a third world country. I am planning to move to Canada. Here in my country the job market is very poor, lack of safety(specially, when someone talk against the govt.). I'm ready to work hard but of course it's only for a better life. dreaming of having my own car and house someday before getting 40/50. Am I expecting too much from Canada? What would you suggest about moving to Canada?
@@nabidanjum3852 the world is experiencing a terrible recession right now, and Canada is especially hard hit. I would recommend you to migrate to Canada when the situation is better, but I don’t know how post-covid will fare. As a high school student, this decade may look grim to me but I still have hope. And ofc, your expectations of Canada are high, but experience may vary person from person. If you’ve received higher education in Canada, you’ll probably do better but Canada doesn’t recognise third world degrees (for sure) so if your degree acquired in your home country would probably not be accredited in Canada. Aside from moving to Canada, where do you want to move to?
I wish if I can work in Canada. Here those who looking for a employee... I'm happy to say that I'm really fascinating about work in Canada. Moreover, Canada is my dream country.
3 years in Canada and moved to US(20+ years here). If we have to move from US, never again in Canada, we will go to homecountry($400 average salary per month).
Well, then, you are literally an idiot in that case. In denial of the reality that Moscow offers a better quality of life across all the spectrum compared to ANY place in Canada. Modern Moscow people offer one of the most vibrant and truly open-minded (not in a politically correct type of “open-minded”) communities in the world. If one has established roots over there, I can’t imagine anything more foolish than leaving Moscow for any reason to live ANYWHERE in Canada. It doesn’t even matter how rich you are and how much money you would bring with yourself to Canada. If anything, if you are truly a rich person, I can hardly imagine a stranger decision than leaving Moscow for any Canadian city. You can enjoy exorbitantly more things, of better quality, in the Russian capital.
Ya some people don't understand they just blame immigrant we all came here as immigrant but we came in different ways hydro not belong to immigrant and the condos not belongs to immigrant embridge not belong to immigrant car insurance not belong to immigrant it's all politics people are not well educated that's why it's difficult for them to live here.
mamade jafer my point was just to caution people. I have seen many immigrants struggle because they did not know. If you are doing well in your home country it might be best to stay put as foreign skills training may not be recognized here. That being said I know we have a skill shortage. My company hires many immigrants
Canada is a very beautiful country and very very expensive. Vancouver and Toronto are way above most peoples reach - more for the wealthy classes. If you come to Canada with university degrees from overseas they may not be recognized and you would have to go back to school here in Canada for to be recognized. That is the case in a vast majority of countries. I am Canadian born and raised and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Weather is another factor to consider and the winters are very cold and you have to dress well during those months. I am laughing at the time when my Lebanese Christian Maronite husband came to Canada and he was told by the stores back home that certain boots were made for Canada as well as a jacket, etc. During the winter way back in the 70' era he had boots that were more like shoes and they literally cracked open on him out in the cold (before the snow fell) and froze all the way to get the proper boots and proper jackets. I am sitting here laughing my head off at all of these experiences back then. Canada is a very beautiful country and you have to forget your climate and ways of life when you come here because life is completely different as well as the climate. This past winter my husband became very sick with pneumo sepsis and had a Saudi Arabian doctor as well as a French Canadian doctor who were both professors of medicine who saved his life. You can get very very sick here if you do not dress well and do not eat the proper foods, and the list goes on and on. Be in good health. The weather here is brutal in the winter months.
I came to Canada in 1984. Spent all my adulthood here. Working very hard. Now I am 58 years old and know that I can’t afford to retire here. Not everyone can be a professional here and earn a lot of money. I am working as a transport driver for the past 27 years and it was very hard on my family life. It is pure luck that my marriage survived it for over 30 years I am a lucky one. Yes, I do have to move back where I came from for two reasons. One is the biggest, the financials and two the weather. I find it more difficult to go through the winter here. I love the outdoor activities, but the cold weather getting intolerable. Again, only people who got a lot of money can go south for the winter, average people staying indoors for 6-7 months of the year here. I am talking about people who have retired. Yes, there are way more countries out there where life is more difficult than here. But for immigrants who coming here without money, it is an uphill battle from day one. It is sad reality that after 36 years an immigrant have to decide to leave this beautiful country and basically start all over one more time for old age.
Canada is for those who are not rich back home and for hard working people, because here you can afford the things you can't get back home especially hospital bills (free in Canada).

Hello everyone...I've been to Canada, and back in South Africa, a failed immigrant,I'm a finance professional. The country is inviting thousands especially from the subcontinent so they bring and burn all their savings in Canada. Its not about how hard it is or how quickly you can get into Canada. Its about what you will do there. There are simply not enough jobs for skilled educated workers , its ok for meat cutters and other blue collar jobs who have nothing to lose,but not for qualified professionals. It's a harsh, unwelcoming country where Ex professionals from India end up driving taxis. My advice...if you are a professional degreed worker in India, Please do NOT move to Canada unless you have a confirmed job offer or have done your research. Do your math about salary vs. Living expenses. Good luck. Don't jump into a lake if you can't swim...
haha the last part.. As a Canadian i agree with everything you said. Anyone who says otherwise had a'lot of help from friends and family to make it. Beautiful Country but i would love to move somewhere i can actually afford to have a family

Well there is South Sudan and Equatorial Guinea, or if you prefer excitement and unpredictability DRC is the place to be.
Canada is for the refugees and blue collars indeed. And maybe for people who want to start over bec they realized they hate their profession. Or maybe for the free spirited person who just want to pursue frivolous things. Canada is amazing if you're from those categories.

Just so you know, there is no American dream anymore. That is just bullshit to keep the salaried stiffs hopeful that they too may one day succeed in the US of A. This lie has been eroded over the years so much that many people in the US recognize it for what it is - a lie.

In fact, this generation is far worse off than their grandparents were.
You have this ever increasing wealth inequality gap and millions of people living from paycheque to paycheque, not knowing if they lose their job how will they get medical coverage?
Canada has many entrepreneurs who make money by selling into the US market. So obviously your entrepreneurs are leaving many gaps in your market that Canadians do exploit.
Your very question underscores how indoctrinated you are to something that doesn't exist anymore.

It is better to have less and be happy at home than to live in an illusion that we are doing well abroad and be depressed whole life.
Fantastic comment. People always talk about the money. To me, no money or status is worth it at the expense of my mental state.

I can survive in canada by doing dishes and here in my home i cant eat twice a day by doing damn dishes
@@hardeepbabhauri7379 it all depends on your perspective, like what you consider important in your life. For you it may be important to meet all basic needs of life and be happy even if that means being alone or away from people you care. If that makes you happy, it is fine.
The whole point is if people find happiness by going abroad. You may feel happy this way.
But for some people, they may think differently, they may consider having one meal with people who care for you better than having two meals sitting alone somewhere.
That is why you will see even rich people who have no money problems, yet still suffer from depression. Cos they lack the feeling of belonging to somewhere, and feel empty inside.

Can you help Sir.
It is a hell.I lost wife and two adult children.It is true.
Don't u keep living in Canada?
Canadians sometimes asked me why I moved to Canada and I realized what they want to hear - they were chasing compliments such as: Canada has fresh air and freedom. So this is what I would answer them:
- I love the climate, I couldn’t get enough of the cold
- I dislike efficiency and effective execution of infrastructure construction
- I enjoy passive aggressive attitudes at work
- It’s so amazing to be surrounded by so many people in different backgrounds who secretly hate each other
- I love being stuck on either TTC or hwy401 every single day, it makes me feel so calm
- Air Canada is the best airline in the world, they are just as good as Chinese restaurants because there is no customer service
- Why do you have to pay $10 for unlimited phone data when you have Bell, Rogers, Telus, that give you the most expensive phone plan in the world? They are the best!
- Oh you know what my fav season is? Tax season! So I can eventually contribute half of my salary to the politicians who don’t even know how to spend it
So ... why DID you move to Canada? And why do you stay in such a horrible place?
nozecone Come on it’s not all bad. Canadian passport is pretty good. And I’m not saying it’s a horrible place to live. It’s the rosy image of ‘nice’ Canada and Canadians that is far from reality and I think people should be aware of that.
Have you considered the possibility that people might be asking why you moved to Canada because: a) they actually are interested in why you moved to Canada; b) they're trying to learn something about the country you left; c) they're trying to get to know you; or, d) they are just making idle conversation and really don't give a shit what you think of Canada or of anything else?

I have been living here for almost 8 years now. There was a time when I got up in every morning with the thought of killing myself. My loneliness made me so depressed and I’m still struggling. Going back is not a option for me. I have spent so much money and time to survive here. Canada is just a beautiful picture. Canada markets itself very well but reality is different. Canadian immigration invites highly skilled and educated people , but there are not many job opportunities. Most immigrants end up working a lowest wage jobs.
Aaaaaaand False
Islam is a mental illness it’s not false you stupid fuck
I appreciate what you said. It is all accurate. Fortunately you survived that deadly phase. Going back may still be an option unless you have already traded your citizenship (If that is the case and you are from India, you may at least obtain OCI now). If you are young enough, you may think of re-immigrating to another country near the equator or in the tropics (e.g., Australia). God bless you.

Finally!!!! Someone telling the blunt truth about Canada.
Blunt ………. Canada is boring .
-They elect a PM who doesn't have a mental ability big enough to run a lemonade stand .
- Canadians hate an immigrant who in few years of living in Canada is doing better than they are . ( that has a lot to do with intelligence )
3. Canadians think that they know everything , Everything is done the Canadian way .If you suggest a better way of doing something the Canadian (in a very
"patriotic " way) will inform that if you don't like the Canadian way then " you can go back where you came from .
That is my observation …...Perhaps they are changing...…..
Stop whining. If you can read and access the Internet, there is no excuse for not learning about this stuff BEFORE you emigrate. I had thought about living in Spain, until my Internet research revealed how much racism existed there. It's an individual's personal responsibility to educate themselves before making such a big decision.
Tom Kusz very true, infact this country is for labours
The truth revealed.
@@tomkusz3741 ,You are right.I throw out Canadian PR, a piece of Shit, some one claims, that is a mint.Poor Canadian, under debt traps and heavy work load, covered liability.

Sorry, it does not mean everybody in Canada accumulates debt. It is your pre-programmed karma (cause and effect coming from past lives) to accumulate debt. End of story

Even ,if you landed, you are trading skills of yours.This means you sell yourself for living and survive. Most ridiculous humans in the world.
I've been in this country 30 years and I have never been able to go back to the standard of living that I was accustomed to as a boy. Went from the bed to the floor. Folks, if you're used to having a household staff in your home country, in Canada, you will be a slave. Also, don't be fooled. In Canada, more than 60 percent of what you make belongs to the state.
This correct. Some taxes are hidden but still taxes...
Igor thank you very much for this honest informative video. I went to Ontario back in 2015 for a vacation trip with my family for a week. We did enjoy our vacation and I think it's a beautiful country to visit at least once in a life time. I agree with all what you've mentioned in your video. I noticed that people in Canada were so distant from each other when it comes to socializing and daily interaction. I felt life was tasteless if I were going to live in such country. There is no real culture or meaningful life except working hard for long hours, earn/spend money and pay taxes. Also you mentioned a valid points regarding raising your children in a society where the gov intervene in your personal and family life, which is one of the worse things I can imagine in case my way of life or beliefs wasn't Canadian enough to be part of its society. I also noticed no body where in the streets during the evening, even though it was summer time. I assume in winter there will be no sign of life in the streets due to the frozen weather. I hold a US & Saudi passports, but I live in Saudi Arabia. My wife and parents didn't want to live in the US, so we lived and raised our kids here in S Arabia. I have lived in other countries in Europe and Asia for both education and work during the last 25 years. But Canada is surely out of my list when it comes to living there for any reason. Consider me a new subscriber. Thanks

I graduated from the best university in my country, petroleum engineering, studied 2 more years here. Canadians say that my accent is barely noticeable, IELTS score of 8.
It has been 6 years since I graduated and all the jobs I got were to pay the bills. I could not save any money, couldn't find a decent job in my field and my career is screwed, after all that effort.
Even though I don't want to, i might have to go back home. It is painful, not the get any return for your hard work.
Maybe I am doing something wrong... But most of my colleagues left already.
I spent the years 24-32 here, best years of my life; away from my family, friends, here by myself to barely make a living.

Dont lie just to make your country look good.
Everything else aside, you really need to be aware of how the climate here can seriously affect your mood -especially if you're from a country that gets more sunlight (closer to the equator). And its not just a mental thing either, the vitamin D and melatonin levels will be different here and that physically affects your body. Its important to spend time outdoors even in the winter (in spite of the cold), the sun is at a low angle and the amount of vitamin D it causes you to produce is reduced. This can affect both your mood and your physical health and immune system. Combined with the bitter cold this can be a recipe for depression and sickness. You might want to take Vitamin D supplemements or eat a diet rich in vitamin D , as well as getting a full spectrum mood light to help you make it through your first few winters.

It’s actually NOT open minded. Any place that will not let you speak for something as silly as “offending people,” does not have free speech
Every culture is different and I know that living here in Ottawa and seeing the different cultures and it is upsetting and degrading to we Canadians to hear how foreign people will hurt us but don't hurt them back. This is their crazy mentality. One Arab/Muslim man was severely beaten in Toronto just the other day and is fighting for his life because he confronted two thugs who were harassing him and his family after they left a picnic. These people should never have confronted the thugs and should have had a cell phone on them and called the police instead. Today the man is in grave danger and it will take many months to start to recouperate. People from other countries don't understand the ways and no matter where you live in any country don't confront anyone - you don't know who is who and what they will do - just walk away. Your life and well being is more important than to deal with the thugs.
The Canadian government put forth a motion (M-103) calling on the government to condemn "islamophobia" but in their travel advisory guide they advise us not to travel to or exercise extreme caution (often citing terrorism) when traveling to just about every muslim majority country (actually might even EVERY muslim majority country as I haven't come across one which doesn't have these warnings) yet they don't have such warnings for just about every country which doesn't have a muslim majority. Are they guilty of what they put for the motion (M-103) for?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the dots...

Brett, maybe you should look up the defamation/libel laws in this country. You can say something truthful about someone and they can still sue you for defamation. You have to prove that your intent was not to harm the person's reputation and you are guilty before ruled innocent. On this premise alone, there is no free speech in Canada. And that's before you start getting into these gender laws that we're starting to put in now.
You might get away with it, but that means nothing when the laws are in the books.
it is true that if you hurt the robber you will be jailed? you just gave the cellphone and call the police. too much human rights to the criminal
even the dogs had too much rights?

I’m a Canadian. Born and raised. And I’m leaving. Tired of this horrible country. We do not have culture, nothing to keep us in common. Trudeau took care of that with immigration. Unemployment rates are increasing, national debt is increasing, our dollar is not improving. Hospitals sucks, horrible wait times. There is no opportunity, not sure what this guy is saying. Living in Toronto or Winnipeg or Vancouver will cost you a fortune. Again, thanks to Trudeau for lifting minimum wage. Peace
"We do not have culture, nothing to keep us in common."

The fact that this video was recorded in a parking lot (with yet ANOTHER parking lot in the background) for a FULL 15 MINUTES with ZERO traffic interruptions and ZERO car horns says everything you need to know about living in Canada ha! But great video -- so many truths in it -- but it is an awesome place to live, if you can wrap your head around it!
I wrote a famous article about this topic back in 2005. They sh*t all over me and tried to destroy my life. Now in 2021 the Internet and TH-cam are filled with videos about this issue. I guess I was ahead of my time.
hahahaaaa I laughed so hard at the 5th point (different mentality). I don't live in Canada myself but there were times when I unintentionally offended foreigners with my jokes. So now whenever I talk to foreigners I put on my "international face" and keep all of my jokes at bay. This turns me into a rather quiet and shy person, I feel like I'm tiptoeing around all the time. I'm happy that I'm not the only person who feels that way. :D
Hi

We in Canuckistan don't have that problem. We check all our responses through the Ministry of Truth first... It needs to pass gender equality laws, LGBTQ+ laws, feminist laws, culture laws, diversity laws, and sensitivity laws, before, for a nominal fee, you will be given permission to make said statement for as long as it is deemed unoffensive. If in the future, said meaning of statement has changed due to language fluidity and is deemed offensive, you will be held accountable for your actions. Gulag and re-education center times depend on your race and gender.

This is not the Canada I know, I live in Alberta and was raised on a farm. I had a wonderful life but we were raised to be respectful of other people. we worked hard but had a good life. If we lipped off our parents we would get a slap across the face at least. I am 60 years old and things were much different when I was growing up. You had great respect for your parents, elders, teachers, etc.
My family moved to Canada from Scotland in the early 1960s when it was a LOT easier and more affordable. But I have to agree with pretty much everything you say in this video.
I agree 100%, been through that after living there for 6 years. But still loving so many things about it, Canada teach me invaluable lessons, and some of the best people I ever meet are Canadians.
Moved here from UK. Canada is beautiful place no doubt about it but there is no life here. Work work work. Get 2 weeks holiday a year. It's way behind Europe. Can't wait to move back.

@Houston2851 How much revenue is Canada earning from Indian immigrants?? Immigrants are lucrative to Canada hence,they need them.
I lived in Canada for 7 years doing my Master's and PhD and despite being eligible I didn't apply for permanent residency and left the country. I was in Kingston and although I tried so hard, I wasn't able to find even one friend over there. Igor is correct Canadians mostly wear a mask that smiles, cheers but who knows what's going on down there. Plus I discovered the Canadian educational system is highly corrupted. All the values and respects go to the undergrad kids who pay tuition fees. No awards for International students and no matter how competitive and hard working you are, you'll never compete with a Canadian student because the priority is always with her/him.
Sad but...
Your origin country ?
Yes priority should always go to the citizen. Thats how it should be! Where i come from they give scholarships to international students, leaving locals no space in the university!! We locals have to go to foregin universities while govenment ones are filled with foreigners!!

One reason... to get to warmer/beach weather city in USA.... BETTER HEALTH CARE in USA... but you have to pay for it... taxes too high in Canada... that's all I have... now I will watch this video to get the rest...
I really love Canada and all, It's a beautiful country but I do agree with everything he said. It's quite accurate. Unless you're coming here with lots of money in your bank account and you don't need to work. But if you are already well off in your country and peace and order is not an issue. I don't recommend migrating here, otherwise you'll experience the same frustrations. Another thing that he didn't mention is, you can't practice your profession once you move here, you need to go back to school to do some upgrades + you need to pass your licensure exam. I think that's common frustrations among professional immigrants. You can be a doctor in your country but you'll be nobody here unless you get your license. Most Canadians are polite but racism here is also prevalent especially if you are a person of colour.
People who are well off in their own country do not migrate to another unless it has to do with a certain profession, or you are transferred to a job by your company or some sort of a reason. You don't go and spend all of your money to come here or anywhere and end up disappointed and broke. There is no magic rainbow anywhere nor a pot of gold and many die trying. Live with the realities of life. Canada is very very expensive especially Vancouver and Toronto. I as a Canadian could not afford those cities even where we live now in Ottawa. Live with reality and life is mighty short and be happy. I almost lost my husband this winter to pneumonia and sepsis and he was never sick before. We got my husband by the paramedics to the hospital just in time or he would have died.
Flav C the same thing happened to my husband. My husband studied computer programming in his native Lebanon and when he came to Canada his degree meant nothing at all. We later threw all of his studies down the garbage shute - all gone for nothing. Many educated people do not stay in Canada nor the US at all and go back home. Canada is for what they call in French LES DEMUNIES the very poor who have nothing at all. Good and educated people do not come to Canada nor the US and yes racism is very prevalent and we went through it (my husband and I) and we stay far away from the public and want nothing to do with them. I am telling all of you the truth from my hear and soul. My husband has been fed up with Canada from the beginning.

And for those of you who rave about Canada’s awesome free healthcare, .... it ain’t. You pay for it in massive taxation and dismissive healthcare unprofessionals who don’t seem to give a damn about you or your health. They just want to bill the government by scheduling your annual physical in 3 or 4 separate appointments which can be spread out over a several weeks period.
And after all of that, they won’t even give you any test results, answer any questions, and you will receive absolutely nothing in writing.
Thanks goodness I moved back over the border because, later that year my new doctor diagnosed me with MS.
I’d been having symptoms for months (exacerbated by ungodly cold weather), but my Canadian doctor (which took a year to acquire) didn’t pay me any attention and got upset with me when I told him that I thought that he was being dismissive and not uncaring. And in Canada you can’t just go to another doctor if the one you have isn’t a good match.
You’re SCREWED because their aren’t any other doctors to go to.
Mine was an hour and a half away from my home, ..... each way!
Canada is a great country for 3rd or 2nd world immigrants, but if you come fr Europe or the U.S., DO NOT MOVE TO CANADA!

@Ryu-Kishin Yes,if a kid bumps into you because it was not looking where it was going, you say sorry to the kid instead of the kid saying sorry to you.
Wow!!! Like u covered everything dead on!!! Everything he said exactly true...love canada & being Canadian but only got somewhere finally moving back to my husband country...house,land,cars,relatives,culture acceptance,kids better discipline & politeness towards parents & authorities...dentist is way more affordable...this guy really covered it all...thx for sharing
Canada is for ppl that work hard and mind their own bussiness....It's a great country
true
Not only Immigrants choose to give up their life in Canada, the local born Canadian are leaving as well. The country has become a one big socialist shit hole.
It's so embarrassing as a Canadian now.
Canada is VERY expensive. Some rooms not even an apartment are $750 in a small city. Don't waste your money and time coming here.
Ok why are you live in canada?!
@@ihabfadloun8979 yes I was born here
Rebekah Hibbard Rebekah! You're a beautiful woman!
Thanks to Trudeau allowing so many indian students rent us now $1200. For so many years it was $800
I pay a room for $700 for a room, it's super expensive! If you don't play hockey or a fan you are pretty much screwed living in a small city like Halifax nothing much to do
The expense is rediculous people are always struggling. So many homeleness because they can't afford rent. No work life balance. You only live to work and pay bills. Sadly Canada has become uncaring and cold like the weather. I have seen people who have a bachelor degree being forced to wait on tables because they are unable to find jobs in their field because they want experience. The schools are expensive they take your money and then you are on your own with no experience. No job placement. People don't care
Some People born in Canada, also want to leave the country. There is a major lack of opportunity here, and mass poverty.
I just saw some of your videos and I would guess that any prospective employer would see that you are a seriously damaged individual with significant psychological issues. Maybe that's why you're having trouble.
There are many people like myself who
would agree with me and experiencing the same thing all over North America, young black men, targeted by the police / discrimination / workplace discrimination. Some folks would label me as mentally ill but believe I’m totally Sane.
@@micheas_westward I agree that lots of black men are being harmed and targeted unfairly by law enforcement and by some radicals in society. I am not claiming that racism and bigotry do not exist. However, after watching your videos, I am seriously shocked that you condemn an entire race of people (which by definition is racism) of being guilty of targeting you. I cannot express just how hurtful this is. Do you think because I was born with a lighter skin than you that I and predisposed to be a bigot? You publish these videos and they are damaging...to you. If I worked with you and saw these videos, I would definitely avoid you. You are guilty of what you are accusing other people of.
That’s me! After graduation, I’m leaving Canada for a place that actually has jobs. There’s no advancement here unless you’re in the medical field.
Exactly.
Before going to Canada for exchange semester I thought maybe I would get a job and live there. After completing my semester there (4 months) I couldn’t wait for the day to finally leave that country. Cold and selfish people, extreme climate, people pulling down each other and expensive life. It’s a very beautiful country to visit with raw nature, but living there is not for everyone.
Can u please explain me about after study ...and IT Job opportunities
@@srinivasmadala2350 Canada is a great country with lots of opportunities. They have one of the highest quality of education in the world, research it. But the taxes and weather is a big problem for me. Australia is nice .
Hey, where are you from? Can i speak with you? my e-mail is andreamoreiraco@gmail.com
Andrea Moreira i Can let you know if you want
It’s been 1 year 2 months and I’m going back to India (at the YYZ rn) 💟. Amazing time here
@Bhargav Chavda Why not?
Every country, you have to work from the ground up unless you are well off when you get there. Im a Canadian and I find that sitting in the house for 6 months do to the cold is the hardest part!
Rich Canadians live as Snowbirds. They spend winter in Florida or California and they come back in spring
Yea, those 1% of Canadians. The rest of us have to suffer it out in the cold playing ice hockey :)
a question please , how does the teacher salary in canada ?
@@berhoss overall teachers are well paid in the middle class, however most middle class adults earn about 55K and that does not allow you to save much.
@@mrblackalchemist thank you for answering me , just one other point : this 55K after taxes ?
I'm glad i found your channel! Night clubs in Canada are where groups of couples go to fornicate. no single folks out there. theyre all at home frustrated at the social live! Unless youre young in a university town.
Igor is right. It is the same in the US. We have an extremely hard time to accumulating wealth in the Americas PERIOD. I want to suggest something for everyone who wants to immigrate to the US, Canada, or Mexico (Or all 3). Tip number 1 - Save the living crap out of your money. When I say save I mean SAVE. After you pay for necessities (e.g., rent, bills, food, phone, car payment, fuel [IN THAT ORDER]) then save what is left over. Beer/Alcohol is not a necessity, tobacco is not a necessity, TV/Games/Other Electronic Entertainment is NOT a necessity. The reason I say this is because all you need is a place to live, electricity/gas, food, a way to contact your employer or customers - depending on your personal situation - a vehicle to get around (but, in Canada their is an awesome public transportation system, from what I understand), and fuel for your vehicle. You do not need the newest Call of Duty game. Save what is left over. I save about $1000.00 USD per month (that's $12,000.00 per year) and I invest half of that. If you do that all the time. Then you will begin accumulating wealth within the first 5 to 10 years of your life here in the Americas. I promise. Work hard, save your money, build your wealth. Life will be great for you here.
8 lives I used to say the same thing until I figured it out. I hung out with wealthy people from where I am. I learned to think like them. Everything I said is exactly how they did it. How I did it. Hard work, determination, goal setting, education, PROPER MONEY USAGE, these are the things you must do before becoming wealthy. It is not easier said than done. It's actually the opposite. Why? Because people do not understand this anymore. Igor is right. It is hard. But, it can be done by anyone. Change your way of thought. The biggest reason I want to move to Canada is because of the way things are there. I have a great life and a good amount of money. Definitely more than most. And when I say that education portion. I mean it. You don't have to attend a university. You just have to READ and learn the right things. Read my comment again. I am not talking about people working at McDonald's or similar. I am talking about entrepreneurial, career-minded, goal setting people. If you think that is too hard and "easier said than done". You will never get there bucko. :) Take this with a grain of salt. I hope you have a great day. Thank you for your comment on mine. I appreciate it. Discourse is good. 👍
Ih! One more thing. You don't have to have a new care or a house. Wait until you have enough money not to draw in too much debt. I drove a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 that was beat all to crap for 6 years. I saved my money and ran my own business from my rental house. I then invested my money to grow it. Do that. Trust me. It works.
8 lives That is a really horrible thing to say. I am actually a very nice guy with a nice wife, nice child and a nice life. Calling me names and telling me to stay out of Canada and that you want ONLY CANADIAN BORN while living in my country is pretty messed up. I am reporting you for hate speech. That is just how I am. I thoroughly explain what I am thinking so that the message gets across clearly and correctly. Also so it is not misunderstood nor my intentions misunderstood. I posted that as a supplement to Igor's video and explanations. You are wrong for what you said and it is not right nor nice.
8 lives I simply shared good advice and I also explained how I have what I have. This video was an explanation that I simply added a bit to. Here's a good idea. Why don't you stop being a narcissist on TH-cam? You really do fit in with the majority here in the US. You and others like you are the exact reason we are not happy here anymore. You are a narcissistic loser who I am now going to block.
Flav C Yeah. What a concept. Right?! Give some good advice and explain how you got somewhere. Then, sit back and wait for that one special fish to tell you should stay out of their country as they flip out.
yea whateve he says always in the back of mind becomes true for the US
So so SO happy to move back to Ukraine next February after living in Canada for over 7 years:) made some money and finally that's almost all over.
You're not alone Been in Canada a little over 10 years also looking to move out
@@gohardorgohome7687 where are you from though?
It's the Persian kids in Canada that are mostly arrogant. We moved here 5 months ago and are leaving 6 months early to return to our home country (USA) because it sucks so bad here! Every single point he made has happened to us since we have been here. 1850$ a month for a one bedroom apartment, 100$ out of pocket 10 minute "doctor visits", absolutely nothing to do. Going out to eat is the only "fun" thing to do here, most people are not friendly and hardly anyone socializes, TERRIBLE DRIVERS, rude immigration officers that dont make you feel welcome in this country (because unless you're born Canadian, they really do not want you here.) They make it impossible to find work and be successful regardless of your status in the US. We have had some positive experiences but mostly negative. We were really looking forward to starting over here but it seems its only hurting us at this point rather than helping us. OH AND YOU HAVE TO PAY TO GO TO MOST PUBLIC PARKS TO GO FOR WALKS. WHATTTTT IS THIS PLACE!!!
Lol
I left Canada for the Netherlands and it worth all of it
OMG i want to leave the Netherlands and immirgate to Canada lol')
you will definitely miss the Netherlands
canada
dont I am leaving canada soon.is so hard for living
May I know a few things please? For how long have you lived in Canada? Are you originally from Canada? Why did you come to Canada if you are yourself an immigrant? Also, when did you left Canada and what was your last job in Canada before leaving for Netherlands? Did you get the same level of job in Netherlands? What was your status in Canada? A citizen?
The United States is more affordable shoot I looked at living in Canada because it's such a beautiful country but damn everything is pricey
But they have free health care.
@@jonathantan2469 , what makes you think you will always need a health care? I got sick once or twice in a year that too fever. Not everyone will need health care always... Saving and earning is more important. Stop thinking just because of free health care you don't have to leave.. that's stupid!
@@jonathantan2469 It's not free. People lose up to 50% of their pay to pay for that "free" service.
I would say most people would have gone to the US if their immigration policy is lesss strict.
@@jonathantan2469 Did you hear what he actually said about the "free" healthcare? As someone famously said: If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it's '"free". Nothing is free. Someone always pays and Canadians face astronomical taxes in every other part of life to pay for that "free" healthcare, which is not very good quality. As he said and is always the case with socialized medicine, the quality suffers and the waits are LONG, particularly to see a specialist which can take many months. But what more should anyone expect when government is the sole provider of healthcare, and we know how government screws everything else up, too?
It's the same way with the socialized National Health Service in the UK. Many years ago I had friends who were in a head-on car crash in England. Of the family of four, the father and his eldest son were critically injured. As Americans, they spent several weeks under the NHS in a British hospital, experiencing the rationing of pain medication, lack of attention, and other drawbacks of socialized medicine firsthand. As soon as the father was able to fly, they made arrangements to get him back to a hospital in the U.S. They had to fly him flat on his back, but he wanted OUT of the socialized medical system that badly. I also work for a physician who sees a lot of Canadian patients crossing the border.
.........but my husband left me and my family doesn’t care whether I live or die. I already paid the CAD$2,400 to an employment agency to find a job for me. I’m gonna buy a small mobile home and a reliable car cash, and pray that the cold, work, and the newness of my surroundings can trump the hollowness I feel inside. Nowhere else wanted to look for a job for me and help me become a citizen in two years; not Bulgaria, not St. Vincent, not Dominica. Canada offered to help me. This is the only option that I have left. I read all the complaints down to the end and I must say they were daunting. But, nothing here in Trinidad and nowhere else offers me a new beginning but Canada. I have been hurting for the past two years since my husband left in 2017, the chance to relocate to Canada is the only thing that made me wake up with a hopeful feeling. I don’t know what will happen when I get there and I am hoping for the best, but Canada is all I have.......
good luck gal

this place, Canada also is a bummer. winters are depressing. it sucks
Lots of good parts here but also lots of bad things. I will agree with all you said - being from the same part of the world as you Igor, I understand very well what you are saying.
My main discomfort if medicine where you know you are not ok and going to see a doctor and he or she is telling you you are ok if your blood work turns normal, not even mentioning the ridiculous wait times to see a specialist or get in to an emergency room. They are all like trained machines, there is no compassion for people or preventive medicine whatsoever.
Loneliness, diferent mentality, the lack of esthetics in a form of pretty women on streets or art is something that makes me sad and miss my home.
Lots of feministic terminators who don’t give a chance to men to be gentlemen and do some basic gestures as open and hold the doors, bring flowers or take care of them...
kids so rude and raised improperly with no respect for elderly, authority or whoever is older...
There is much more than that but averall it was our choice to come and stay and you don’t go to a someone else church with your own pray, you learn the new pray...
I wish patience and determination to all immigrants as this is not easy to start all over - and wish some understanding and kindness to Canadians... when you look at an immigrant you want to make fun of think or remember about your parents or grandparents who struggled to give you the life you have today.
I agree with what you say. seeing a doctor is pain..
trained machines was a good term
MY ADVICE and EXPERIENCE as a French:
The truth about Canada is that there are jobs available BUT those jobs are mostly survival jobs and even if you have a masters degree, you will end up doing those jobs because they will keep saying “you need local experience”. In the US, at least, you have greater chances to sit in a job that kinda matches your credentials… not so in Canada..
-Another thing that I do not like is the LONELINESS here, it is terrible and eats you out!!! I have two friends of mine who are dealing with depression now as they had false hopes and could not save money! Some are French like me and a few are from Asia and India. Trust me it is VERY hard to save money heee coz the salary are so-so and the cost of living are very very very high! The few that you save just go swallowed by taxes. So yes, I get free healthcare and patati patata but also you pay so much on the other part.
-the other aspect is the cost of living … you overpay for EVERYTHING!!! Rents, phone plans, meals etc….
- also since we have arrived here me and my wife also keep fighting and the reason is: MONEY! By living here, you spend a lot and it is extremely hard to save!!! Some of my colleagues at work face the same problems too and one of them is filing for divorce now.. reason: money and probably loneliness as it is very hard to make friends here in Canada… even for me who is European …. you will see that too. People are are nice on the outside (better than in France) but they never invite you at home… never!!! In France, we do that all the Time like once we know the person, we invite that person in or at least spend time with him in a cafe … but here… nothing!
- Also 2 years ago, at work, I have had a colleague from a country in Asia (it is relatively a poor country unlike Japan or koreA), and he had an autistic daughter. Although they got fundings as well as benefits, they still chose to leave. You know why? Because here, yes the child gets therapy but outside therapy, the social net and relationship is very poor or almost impossible as it is VERY hard to make friends here… even among other immigrants!! Now, they are back home and since they came back, although they have no funding or even if the therapies there are less good than the one in Canada, their daughter seemed to have become better. Why? Because down there, she has had access to more social interactions and the parents also have more opportunities to have access to respite (as there, it is almost free… just tell someone or a friend to keep an eye on the child and it is fine!). Here in Canada, this colleague of mine kept complaining how hard it is to find respite and how expensive it is!!!! So yes, you have benefits but you also have lots and lots of drawbacks!!! I am sometimes tired of people complaining about how lucky the immigrants should be once they come here as they left their “rubbish” country behind them! in France where I come from, I also hear the same rhetoric but sometimes, there ate good things about poor countries but that many idiots don’t even know!
- Regarding the pensions, yes we have the OAS and the CPP but there are conditions to get those (like living 10 or even 20 years in Canada ) and even combined, they cannot rival our French or the German pension amount (I am not saying it coz I am French, but it is just the plain truths); unlike the pensions in Europe which ça cover all of your expenses, the Canadian one just won’t…. Unless you retire in cheaper countries!
- Also regarding the welfare, surely the Canadian welfare is better than the one in the US but if you compare it to Europe, it is not that enviable.. look at this vlog:
th-cam.com/video/F2VJd-UtuI4/w-d-xo.html
-
This is why we are thinking of moving back to France or may be try the US later before the worse happens to us too… and yes, I do not want to retire here in Canada either coz of this (in France, I have family and property and honestly for you immigrants, before immigrating here, DO NOT SELL your property… NEVER! Because if things do not work well where you gonna immigrate, then if you sell your house or all your assets in your country, there will be nothing you will come back to. You will have nothing at home so do not sell your house or tour land!!! On the contrary, keep the land in your country and let it gain in value). So yes here is why I do not want to retire in Canada:

Everything you've said is pure gold I've been living in Canada for 11 years and can't wait to leave forever loneliness is killing me the harsh winters i can't take it anymore add to that the Covid BS restrictions the place became a dictatorship .
this guys fact is so true, I've lived here all my life and it can be discouraging for new immigrants.
Hi
So true it can get discouraging
I am from a third world country.
I am planning to move to Canada.
Here in my country the job market is very poor, lack of safety(specially, when someone talk against the govt.). I'm ready to work hard but of course it's only for a better life. dreaming of having my own car and house someday before getting 40/50.
Am I expecting too much from Canada? What would you suggest about moving to Canada?
@@nabidanjum3852 the world is experiencing a terrible recession right now, and Canada is especially hard hit. I would recommend you to migrate to Canada when the situation is better, but I don’t know how post-covid will fare. As a high school student, this decade may look grim to me but I still have hope.
And ofc, your expectations of Canada are high, but experience may vary person from person. If you’ve received higher education in Canada, you’ll probably do better but Canada doesn’t recognise third world degrees (for sure) so if your degree acquired in your home country would probably not be accredited in Canada. Aside from moving to Canada, where do you want to move to?
I wish if I can work in Canada. Here those who looking for a employee... I'm happy to say that I'm really fascinating about work in Canada. Moreover, Canada is my dream country.
If you have job and family to be around in your country ,do not ever canada
I see the points why immigrants leave Canada.
I was planning on moving to Canada after finishing college, but after watching this video...... oh dear, no way Jose.
Thank God. We were worried you would come.
good
3 years in Canada and moved to US(20+ years here). If we have to move from US, never again in Canada, we will go to homecountry($400 average salary per month).
I still LOVE Canada and would never Move back to Moscow Russia.
Cuz of freedom 👍
Are you spying?
Well, then, you are literally an idiot in that case. In denial of the reality that Moscow offers a better quality of life across all the spectrum compared to ANY place in Canada. Modern Moscow people offer one of the most vibrant and truly open-minded (not in a politically correct type of “open-minded”) communities in the world. If one has established roots over there, I can’t imagine anything more foolish than leaving Moscow for any reason to live ANYWHERE in Canada. It doesn’t even matter how rich you are and how much money you would bring with yourself to Canada. If anything, if you are truly a rich person, I can hardly imagine a stranger decision than leaving Moscow for any Canadian city. You can enjoy exorbitantly more things, of better quality, in the Russian capital.
I'm not slavic but i am an immigrant citizen in Canada and what you wrote is mostly correct.
I am one immigrant who left. I left because of affordability in Canada.
Hai joe ,where are you from?
Australia & NZ are the exact same. Expensive and good jobs are hard to find. Been there, done that.
I’m leaving too soon
Canada is a beautiful country but it can be difficult to make a decent living. Housing, hydro cost of living in general is expensive.
You want to believe it.
Ya some people don't understand they just blame immigrant we all came here as immigrant but we came in different ways hydro not belong to immigrant and the condos not belongs to immigrant embridge not belong to immigrant car insurance not belong to immigrant it's all politics people are not well educated that's why it's difficult for them to live here.
mamade jafer my point was just to caution people. I have seen many immigrants struggle because they did not know. If you are doing well in your home country it might be best to stay put as foreign skills training may not be recognized here. That being said I know we have a skill shortage. My company hires many immigrants
Canada is a very beautiful country and very very expensive. Vancouver and Toronto are way above most peoples reach - more for the wealthy classes. If you come to Canada with university degrees from overseas they may not be recognized and you would have to go back to school here in Canada for to be recognized. That is the case in a vast majority of countries. I am Canadian born and raised and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Weather is another factor to consider and the winters are very cold and you have to dress well during those months. I am laughing at the time when my Lebanese Christian Maronite husband came to Canada and he was told by the stores back home that certain boots were made for Canada as well as a jacket, etc. During the winter way back in the 70' era he had boots that were more like shoes and they literally cracked open on him out in the cold (before the snow fell) and froze all the way to get the proper boots and proper jackets. I am sitting here laughing my head off at all of these experiences back then. Canada is a very beautiful country and you have to forget your climate and ways of life when you come here because life is completely different as well as the climate. This past winter my husband became very sick with pneumo sepsis and had a Saudi Arabian doctor as well as a French Canadian doctor who were both professors of medicine who saved his life. You can get very very sick here if you do not dress well and do not eat the proper foods, and the list goes on and on. Be in good health. The weather here is brutal in the winter months.
richard ramfire which company do you work?
I came to Canada in 1984. Spent all my adulthood here. Working very hard. Now I am 58 years old and know that I can’t afford to retire here. Not everyone can be a professional here and earn a lot of money. I am working as a transport driver for the past 27 years and it was very hard on my family life. It is pure luck that my marriage survived it for over 30 years I am a lucky one. Yes, I do have to move back where I came from for two reasons. One is the biggest, the financials and two the weather. I find it more difficult to go through the winter here. I love the outdoor activities, but the cold weather getting intolerable. Again, only people who got a lot of money can go south for the winter, average people staying indoors for 6-7 months of the year here. I am talking about people who have retired. Yes, there are way more countries out there where life is more difficult than here. But for immigrants who coming here without money, it is an uphill battle from day one. It is sad reality that after 36 years an immigrant have to decide to leave this beautiful country and basically start all over one more time for old age.

Canada is for those who are not rich back home and for hard working people, because here you can afford the things you can't get back home especially hospital bills (free in Canada).
Ja! Hospitals bills ... most third world countries have free healthcare
