Please, learn more about Canada BEFORE you come to my country. Do not complain, it is not nice. I went to India and Pakistan as a visitor. Will I like to live there? I will not comment. Please leave Canada as soon as you can. I will not miss you.

It’s been 4 years for me here and I honestly can say I have achieved nothing in my life yet. It scares me when I think I can’t return whatever my parents had invested in me. The fact is you’ll never have a good paying job in Canada being an immigrant. When I say this trust me I mean it. Most you’ll get is a minimum wage job which can make you survive the life here. Taxes are high definitely and what I feel is you’re working to make someone else’s life easier. (P.S: people who’ve stayed in Canada will understand who I’m implying to) No one wants to be your freind, scope of socializing is zero coz mostly it’s cold round the year so everyone hardly come out, especially in Northern provinces like Yukon, Saskatchewan, Manitoba. Healthcare is a joke. If you feel sick and not well and you wanna see a doctor be prepared to wait for hours and hours. I once had stomach infection and I had to wait 5 hours till someone could see me. I asked for painkiller at-least so I could bear the pain but they refused that as well. You might well see someone you love dearly and with whole heart die in-front of you and you could do nothing. (I’ve experienced it myself hence saying) You’re a lone survivor who’ll always keep fighting. The only person who can make money here is businesses and high paid jobs which are reserved to Canadians. That’s how Canada’s job market is. Canadians’ first and if there’s something left they’ll look at you. By the amount of money people invest here they can establish a nice business back in their country itself and earn accordingly on own terms. Most importantly you’ll cut yourself from all emotional supports like family, freinds etc. I was social person back in India who liked making new freinds and memories but it’s nothing like that here. And it’s the same life, no different. You wake up, dress, eat, go to work, come back, eat, sleep. No different. No fun and nothing. You actually don’t live in present, you live in an expectation of a better tommorow. You’ll always have a smile when you greet someone but I guarantee you no one’s gonna check on you to if you don’t start a conversation even with a simple “Hi”. Mostly Canadians are nice but again some will systematically judge you and say nothing but you’ll see in their actions, the way they’ll talk in a twisted way etc. Yes I’m not saying that Canada’s bad or it’s no good but trust me it will take forever to build a life here especially with the number of people moving here from round the world. If you’re well off financially from back home Canada’s a paradise for you. Indeed it’s a beautiful country with lots of beauty and lots to explore but remember everything comes with a cost here. Everything comes with a cost. People need to stop believing in this fake illusion and come only if they got a purpose here. The only reason why they’ll let you in the country is for money and once you’re in you’ll have to keep spending, doesn’t matter if you’re broke or whatever you have to. Once I earn I’ll happily give up my PR status and go back to India as i very well know what the situation is how it’s gonna be in future. So just one piece of advise to every middle class person like me, guys please invest and spend your money wisely coz we know how hard it is to earn and it’s high time Canadians start appreciating what immigrants like us do for them by burning ourselves day and night and start realizing that their past generation once came from some other part of the world as well and settled here. Being white doesn’t make you a nice Canadian, you’re actions defines you more than your words. 90% of this country is built by immigrants and that’s how it’s gonna develop in future, so if they keep treating us the same way good luck to them 🙂. Also a plus note to anyone thinking that Asians are stealing your jobs, go get outside and have the balls to face them and take it away from them. Staying home and ranting and abusing us that we’re taking your opportunities and blah blah isn’t gonna work. We are so successful round the world because we are hardworking, honest and respectful to everyone. Even if we’re earning minimum and barely surviving here we always make sure we’re not burden on the government or anyone else and won’t keep crying. A big shoutout to all you guys who came here in the hope of a better future but are still struggling. Keep hustling and you’ll reach there, if not step down and go back and start your life again on your home soil. There’s no shame in experimenting continuously rather than sitting ideally and crying about future. All the very best my people and lots of love to you ❣️

This sounds amazing, I have heard about the countless opportunities yet cryptocurrency and forex markets creates, and how the enlightened few benefit from it but skepticism has always been a hindrance
The incompetence and corruption that runs through this administration are getting more ridiculous. I feel for people with disabilities not getting the help they deserved. Thank you Beatriz, imagine investing $1000 and receiving $4,300 in a few days🇬🇧
We applied for PR. Got invitation for my family within 10 months. Landed in GTA in 2016. Stayed there for a one month vacation became PRs. Observed many things and spoken to many of my friends while I was there. Situation was pathetic in a nutshell. Went back to continue my job in Middle East. For 3 4 years I thought about what should we do. Should we move or not. Ultimately decided to let go the PR status & not Waste my savings on this PONZY scheme. Still working in Middle East and in Europe, family shifted back to India purchased a premium apartment a nice car. With our foreign savings I can easily retire in India - I'm still 39! Best decision ever!!!
@@rishisfdc7493 if you have a job , go for it. This is the only positive which I have when I came to canada. Otherwise in overseas countries getting desk job, really a tough call man. Cheers 🥂
If you are well settled in India/Pakistan.. Have good social life then moving to Canada isn't worth it... Life is damn difficult here... Things are expensive like crazy.. specially house rents..get ready to work two jobs just to get by.. Even after that it's impossible to save any money... Weather is kind of depressing... You might enjoy snowfall for couple of months but with time grey weather become frustrating and takes toll on your mental health.. I really hope our Indian subcontinent gets developed so no one have to leave their home country where weather and culture everything is so colourful and full of life..
@@finehumanbeing3506 people do donkey.. Well if you want a job then it's tough.. But if you have millions of dollars you can open a business easily.. If you have relatives getting a job is damn east
My wife was sick and passed out with high fever. Ambulance dropped her at the emergency where she waited around 10 hours and came back home. next day we went to a different hospital in neighbour city but same story and came back after hours of waiting. Next day her family doctor calls her a liar on phone and claims she didn't go to hospitals at all. At that point I lost it and set the record straight with the doctor. Canadian health care system puts 3rd worlds to shame. We are just saving enough money to go back home and get done with this depression. At least we will have a hospital we can get a treatment on time
Thank you for sharing that real life experience. I shared my opinion, in a comment above (starts with "Thank you. I really appreciate you showing both sides of the coin..."), where I said that I feel that for people who own their own residence, are well-to-do, and living a nice comfortable life in India, for them it does not make sense to leave that good life and come struggle in Canada, and someone, "lucky dhiman", commented saying that I am being negative, for the reasons I listed (one of the reasons being slow poor quality health care) why it does not make sense. I wish he would read your real life experience and learn the truth. People sometimes think we are being negative and discouraging when we are being honest. Experience is definitely the best teacher, it is a tough teacher, but the most convincing teacher.
Thanks Sam for sharing your story. I want to do mba abroad and Canada is one of my go to destinations. I had same question for these countries like Canada or Germany, who provide FREE healthcare. I know that sometimes they take weeks to give an appointment and they take emergency cases on priority. But what if someone goes with chest pain and they conclude its not severe so they give a date for next month but in reality, that person had some serious chest issue like cancer and till next month it grew very much and it reached to a very bad stage which is treatable but it already decreased overall patient’s life span. Now who will take the responsibility for this? Would government or hospital take the responsibility of this loss? Patient came to hospital on time, when it could be stopped. Atleast these situations can be handled in countries like India. Even before going abroad, i am able to analyse that this free healthcare is actually nonsense. Please correct me if i am wrong.
My God... unbelievable !!! In India we can consult a specialist on the same day ..infact here we even take 2-3 opinions of different docs in a week's time
I left Canada 8 years ago because I was an unappreciated skilled professional. I am now an American citizen living the American dream! Best decision ever!
@@lenguindon5019 : If you're only reason for getting into healthcare is to make tons of money and that is it, you should not be in this profession in the first place. Being a Physician is a Sacred Trust. Don't the people you are caring for count at all?! Problem is; everybody today, want too much in life. Living reasonably, comfortably does not seem to be enough for people anymore. It's a very, sad and selfish attitude that almost, everyone has today, and everybody is suffering because of it.
Yeah you are living in a country that is deteriorating so badly that they expect civil war to break out any time. I have two American friends who left Portland Oregon because of the right wing nutjobs. They are now Canadian citizens and doing very well.
I'm so glad you brought up healthcare. As a Canadian Citizen, I've struggled with this train wreck called healthcare for almost ten years. They just casually let your health deteriorate till you're almost dead, then fix it at the lats minute, only to drop care before you are fully healed, and let you slowly deteriorate again. It's brutal.
@@rsrs6959 Hmm, that's a good question. I've always wanted to visit India, or sometimes I just think I should move to Mexico. But I'd have to spend some time and see how I like a place before I decide.
@@zanleuxs Yeah, I think that's the best thing to do, to try it out first, and then based on trial experience, decide on whether or not you want to move there for good. A lot of immigrants make the mistake of not trying it out first, burning all bridges, and just moving abroad right away for good. Thank you for the valuable advice, and I will apply it as well. You should visit India, and other places where English is widely understood and spoken, so that the language barrier is not a problem, and thus it will make it easier to move if you decide to. I personally want to movie to a place where the weather is not too hot/humid and not too cold, as I can't take either extremes. Here I am sick and tiered of the harsh winters, the back breaking shoveling, the icy road conditions that make it risky to be driving on the slippery roads, top that with unaffordable real estate housing and expensive living. If you have any suggestions of places where the weather is pleasant year round and also affordable, then please do kindly let me know.
@Rainbow warrior Thank you...Niceee... I do remember my somewhat elderly relative saying he loves Thailand...he had gone there to attend a wedding during the winter months and said he would love to settle there....Another friend of mine went to Thailand during the summer (I couldn't get why he choose summer but anyways) and he said he could not bare the heat/humidity, he said he loved the people there, but to settle there he would need to learn the language.... Which place would you personally pick if you had to pick one?
I would like to state one most important thing for those who are planning to come to Canada. The housing market here is out of control. If both the partners have decent salary, most of the amount will be paid on mortgage and the saving will be extremely low. And, I’m talking about the house hold income of $150k in Calgary, and more than 200k in GTA area. Not here to discourage anybody, just telling the ground reality.
People may enjoy working in Canada but they should be aware, in 2022, they are arriving at a 'work camp' and should expect to live as they did with parents, with roommates and they should expect that around 90% of their income goes to paying for the minimum living requirements in order to work the 46 hours a week, 52 weeks a year required to pay for rent/minimum phone/bills/insurance/car payments/gasoline etc. So, that's fine, if they are prepared to work-to-live-to-work, to put off having a 'lifestyle' or hobbies or parties or vacations and can live without beer, cigarettes, candies or disposable income? Then okay, Canada is a place for you!
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. I personally benefited from the market crisis as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
I agree with you and I believe that Professionals are currently dominating the market since they have access to both the necessary strategy for making money in this industry and exclusive insider market information.
I’m Glad i stumbled on this. Please, if its not too much of a hassle for you, can you drop the details of the expertise that assisted you and how to get in touch with him.?
Wow these comments make me realize I'm not alone. I was born here. Daughter of European immigrants. When my parents immigrated in thr late 70s, it was different. Less rules, lower taxes, affordable housing, they were able to save. They left back to Europe before the vaccine mandates were put in. I feel like Canadians are uncultured, not very worldly, they don't care about their neighbors and are overly fake. The rules here have gotten to be too much. The government dictates every aspect of your life. Healthcare is a mess. I remembered 20 years ago when I started working I made money was able to save and enjoy life....things took a turn very quickly and will only get worse.
@@monolap222 Finally someone who gets it. They built their wealth by taking from and exploiting the forefathers of the persons who are now immigrating to their countries for a better life, and then have the audacity to be upset because they want to come and settle there, all the while not realising that they are enjoying the standard of living they currently do because they stole from the same countries these immigrants are coming from.
The best part of this video is that you guys shared corresponding positive/supporting explanation to the all points why people leave. Great work. Thank you!!
Tyrannical government makes people miserable. Cost of living is really high, no freedom of speech, no freedom of mobility, self-righteous people push their views on others.
Harsh weather, little social life, expensive, less high paying jobs, house prices skyrocketing, health care waitings, high taxes ; you just work your ass off to just living basic life with no lifestyle.. Ground reality!!
also run by criminal organizations and cartels. Corrupt police, corrupt legal system, pathetic healthcare, too many woke karens and criminals who belong in jail are allowed to serve their sentence out in open society... While good people are limited. Also too much propaganda in Canada
@Live Your Life On Your Own Terms It's individual preference, to each their own. Some prefer the social distancing space of the Canadian lifestyle and culture, and some on the other hand, prefer and love India for the closeness, the community, the festivities, the liveliness, and the social life that India offers. Wherever and whatever makes one happy.
You guys are so bloody lucky. I want out of this hell hole like yesterday. I need sun and warmth, not dark gloomy depression and prices I can’t afford!
I have a valid Copr. I could move to canada today if i wanted. But i have dropped my plan of relocating to Canada. I got the same insight as given in this video from someone living in Canada. When i applied for the PR in 2020, i was not getting good growth in career and was desperate to increase my income. Within a span of 2 years i got good opportunities and my situation changed. I live in gurgaon and making twice of what i was making 3 years ago. Suddenly the dream and charm of Canada has faded. Our country is much better and only going to progress in the next decade. Upskill and be proud of your land. It will throw immense opportunities in the next decade.
After wasting 17 years of my life in Canada finally decided to move out ! Taking my family and leaving soon . I love canada 🇨🇦 but i cant make a decent comfortable living unfortunately 💔🇨🇦 . Came with nothing and leaving with debt , stress and more health issues
@@grewal2202 unless you have a very good job ( top pay ) kinda impossible here in canada ! Then you can afford to raise a family and maybe save some money . You need to bring home at least $80,000 a year ( net pay ) after tax to live above the poverty line
@@adamggz2635 very true. After covid 80k is needed just for survival. If we want to own a house specially in Toronto, we would have to make like 120k minimum. May be 20 to 25% of people make over 100k in Canada, rest live in poverty.
Despite getting a decent headstart in my career, I feel that Canada's Fool's paradise. 1. The cost of living is phenomenally high. 2. The work life balance doesn't exist. Corporate slavery does exist here. 3. Home sickness and ageing parents. I would feel guilty if I'm not with my parents at the time when they need me the most. 4. Compromise on life style because getting established takes forever and it is very, believe me, very, expensive country. 5. Healthcare- SCAM! Don't expect anything until you're literally dying/facing existential crisis. 6. COLD! I think cold is an understatement. 😭 Ultimately you get a good sleep when you rest your head on the pillow of your "home". Canada, to me, is like a 5 star hotel (metaphorically). You would enjoy the newness of Canada, but eventually, your heart and soul would always try hard to resist change. Suggestion: - You don't want to live like a rat in a basement or in a pigeonhole for what? For claiming the world that you live in a so called developed country? Come on, let's be practical, if you've a decent job, happy life and no solid reason to immigrate, don't be a part of a life changing misadventure.
It depends, people who moved here few years back have become millionaires because of the housing bubble. They can easily move to US and buy house there or go back to India. Canada has helped people get rich. Skilled professionals can make over $125k per year. Times are different now. If you're earning less than $100k, cost of living can be challenging.
@@TheTruthAlways but most of the immigrant will obviously earn less than $100k , and it will be challenging for people !!! We have got PR but dnt want to shift 🥴as of now
Don't come back to India if you are looking for high standard of living if u don't like Canada then move to australia but never think of coming back to india
@@kedartrivedi2530 precisely brother. I make less than 100k, but definitely more than average. However, I think that the necessary commodity like a house/accessibility to real estate far outweighs my or anyone's income for that matter. Lack of supply is causing the disequilibrium leading to unimaginable spurt in real estate. Government does seem to be taking any potent steps to rescue the situation. I'd rather suggest people looking for promising career and wholesome life to move to the US. Canada, to me, is a parallel-time-zone service center of the US. Exploit the opportunity by acquiring the citizenship and direct yourself to the US. Overall, people making 20 lac or above in India should find a very very very very solid reason to immigrate. Something that's irreplaceable.
In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to Asia. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time, but the good news for you is that there are so many people saying these things now, that you won't get in any trouble.
@@beyondthestars4299 There is no actual freedom of speech in Canada. It exists only on paper in their constitution. But try and exercise that right and see what happens. Just look at what the government did to the covid protestors recently. They put them in jail, froze their bank accounts, threatened to revoke their travel privileges etc etc. Canada is slowly becoming a North Korea style totalitarian regime. Far from the free nation I grew up in, in the 1980s.
My Dad moved us from England to Canada in 1965. It took him 6 months to get my mom and us here. He had a sponser and was a miner etc basically slave labor. My mom cried when we got here in the winter. I wish we moved to Australia. Now I have kids and grandchildren so that's why I live here. I'm still treated as an immigrant.
Same thing, only it was my mom. Actually wish I never left England a lot...but now I hear England is even worse now. At least you're not arrested for saying something online...yet!
Born and raised in Quebec. Son of European immigrants from the late 60’s. This country is not what it used to be, housing has gone trough the roof, wages are not increasing, healthcare is worthless, living paycheque by paycheque with hardly any savings
You guys act like that's just in Canada only. It's happening everywhere including the US, it's now 5 bucks for a single gallon of gas not only that but even the cheapest houses are expensive. By the way what are savings?
I have lived here in Canada my whole life. Never had enough money to travel anywhere else but I can agree even tho our health care is free with a health card its is not always very good. Sometimes it is great but the majority of time it is not. Many people I know have similar experiences. One time for me was a simple stomach ache and I sat in the emergency room for 5 hours then finally saw a doctor and they told me to go home and relax, I went to another hospital and they actually did test and found out I had an infection it was easily fixed with some medication. Also Northern Canada IS very cold I live 4 hours from Toronto and we get lows of -30 to -40C with wind chill which is hard when you have far to go to work with no vehicle. Rent is going up and affording a home is rough. As mentioned in the video having friends makes a huge difference its nice to have some support no matter what. Good video all around and nice to see people trying to help one another
Thank you for sharing your experience. Lows of -30 to -40C with wind chill, and having to be outside, or walk to work in that cold, would be so painful. I too have not traveled much, but if life gives an opportunity to experience life in a different country, through work or something, then will gladly take it up and try it out.
I live 4 hrs north of Toronto too. I’m honestly amazed you got seen in only 4 hrs and actually got a test/diagnosis, and in only 2 attempts! That’s actually pretty good. 🤦🏻♀️ yay Cheers
If you think you can succeed in Canada, why don’t you think you can succeed right in your home country where you can help neighbours and friends have job? You have friends, family, food, culture, life that you may find joy and happiness. Life is short! Once you start to realize it, it’s too late. Live within your mean. Think positively. Enjoy every moment you have with family. Don’t listen to those that visit your home country after living abroad for a while. They never ever admit that they fail. They only boast how better life is compared to back home. If you can come to visit, please do that so that you can experience how you can manage to live in Canada. Don’t sell your house. Don’t borrow anyone money to come here ans think you will pay them back. Things are getting way more expensive than you can imagine. With almost 450,000 immigrants coming and more than 230,000 jobs losses in Canada, how do people find jobs? In addition to that the government keeps printing money from thin air to pay for unemployed people, social support, which eventually makes inflation sky-rocketed, not even mentioning possible taxes increase in the future adjust for government’s debt. If you are poor, have nothing to loose, need a job, and are willing to work any leftover jobs, then come. If you are settled, or at least have your own home to be prosperous from it, then stay. If you come for your kids “better” future, then be ready for tremendous sacrifice, and hopefully you kids don’t put you in nursing home when you get old, which most likely it will be. Finally, if you are rich, stay back home to avoid taxes, have maid, nanny take care of family.
I’ve been here for 6 years and it’s been mostly negative with some positives in between. Everything you both said are so spot on, it’s not sustainable in terms of growing future wealth, or in terms of socializing with people or even mental health, rent, buying a home and so on and on. That said I will be leaving Canada in March 2023 and heading back to the Middle East. I don’t want to live out the rest of my life regretting the time I lost but Canada has been an eye opening experience for me. It’s just not worth it in the long run.
Leaving with that sweet sweet Canadian passport I bet.....then whining about wanting to be rescued in a decade....to return and mooch off our remaining social programs....
I honestly like your and Ravish's channels for one one common reason - pure motivation and reality. No false information, no day dreaming and real life example of improvement in personal lives. I really admire this !!!
Will be moving away as soon as I complete my degree next year. Had enough of this country: 1. Soaring house markets. As a 23 years old, I dream of a moderate place maybe 1200 sq ft to live and settle in, with the current prices I see myself spending on useless rent for another 3 years. 2. Social life/things to do: Covid has become an obsession with Canadian politicians, life is no longer normal and it does noy seem to be going back to normal even in 2 years, never seen people more politically divided, the left is extreme and the right is extreme 3. Safety: never thought I will bring this up, but living here especially in the last 3 years, it feels at time that it is no longer safe, shootings 10 blocks away from my university, robberies, less security on campus. 4. Weather: I come from the middle east where it can get hot but you still feel productive and ready for work, here the winter is just miserable, most of the time weathers not predictable, almost 3 months of constant negative degrees and slippery roads and costs for winter tires. 5. Quality of life: honestly, for the amount of hard work you do in this country, it feels that you are just being bombarded by the government even more, tax here, tax there, bills here bills there. Going out is expensive, distances are long between places, not many entertainment places, you always have to dig in old neighborhood to find something. Service is horrible, waiting times on phone are enormous. Just overall, you dont feel like you are being treated and appreciated the way you should. 6. Culture: as a Canadian, I am proud but this does not seem to be the case with a lot of people. Some people are sometimes afraid to show their patriotism especially in big cities, what happened to pride? 7. Leadership: this ones just the main reason for all of the above, look at places like Dubai where leaders always have mega projects, visions for the city, attractions to visitors and tourism, resources utilization despite being in the midst of desert. You dont see this here, politicians have ruined this country with never ending rhetoric, false promises, and low investments in its own citizens.

@@movingtocalgary01 ....and produces fossil fuels from the dirtiest source of raw material .....TAR SANDS .....The biggest processing cost and worst environmental pollution on the planet. Yeah ....great ...but what do you care??? .
The winter is very long, which is not the problems itself, because you can get used to it. The problem is the cost involved. Heating cost are a big one, but also studded winter tires, snow removal, winter related cost on house and car, winter clothing and so on. Than there are the insane cost for groceries, the dependency on cars because of the distance, insurance, the taxes..... It is not easy to have an nice life..... Work until you drop dead.
I've lived here all my life and I vouch that these folks are giving very good, practical advice. To those who move here willingly, please do your homework as this couple so aptly point out. For those fleeing dire circumstances or not really having much choice, please try to be aware as much as you can about the specific location you are moving to or being settled temporarily in. Thanks.
I was born here, and I have a lot of immigrant friends, most of which say they felt they were "baited and switched" into moving here. I don't blame them. I have a household income of $120,000 and we struggle to make ends meet while trying to save for a home (which is just... Not happening). Plus, I have longstanding chronic health issues for which I barely get care due to the state of healthcare in my city and the lack of available resources. It's sad to say, I pay +30% in taxes and don't see the benefit.
WOW ...and intelligent comment ....finally. YES ....do your own homework!!! Do NOT rely on others to do the homework and figure out what you need to do to succeed. Invariably, it will required a lot of work and dedication. If the plan is to party, party, party .....you WILL fail. It is these people who do all the complaining. .
@@mbt9700 ....there is no "state of the healthcare". If you live in a small town/village .....then "yes", there WILL be less resources than the big cities. It has ALWAYS been like this. It is nothing new. My cousin, now getting elderly, was diagnosed with a couple of health issues. He lived in a very small town in B.C. Now that he was needing more health support, he moved to a larger city ......WHICH WAS A COMMONSENSE CHANGE. Sadly, there are a lot of people who can't figure these things out for themselves and prefer to blame everyone else for their problems. .
@@taxicamel I'm not sure why you assume I live in a small town when I noted city: I live in Montreal, and have lived in Ottawa and Toronto long term in the past. I have not, in all three cities, gotten adequate services, especially given the current shortage of doctors (specifically family doctors). For you to claim that this issue is personal and not systemic is ignoring even the Government's most recent statements regarding the state of our system, availability of resources (particularly labor), and the cost of operations. This is not to say we have the worst healthcare, the point is that it is not the best and shouldn't be touted as such.
In summer 2015 we decided to move permanently to Calgary, Alberta. Me my wife and 1 girl coming from Venezuela 🇻🇪. The first 3 years were kind of nice since we were full of hope and I was full of dreams and desire to prosper. Lot's of help from social programs, also our second girl was born here. I consider myself a hard working/positive person that even when I grew up poor, I work hard for 10 years back home white collar to be able to save and give my family a "better future". Fast forward to today after almost 8 years...I've done 11 DIFFERENT JOBS in Canada. Anything from pizza delivery to construction, to cleaning, to office admin work, selling cars, etc etc etc...anything you can imagine I've done it. Since my goal is to be independent and don't have a "job", the amount of frustration I've suffered is indescribable. In all these years we have ZERO savings even when we are extremely frugal. We have had ONE family vacation in Mexico and we spent 2 years paying that debt. We are not able to bring family because of high cost and if we will, they will be depressed after one winter here. Locked for 8 months like most people live here. We have to go to food bank many many times because we are just too poor to keep up. We decided this year that enough is enough, is just not worth it in the long term. We are moving back home. I refuse to get more in debt to keep studying to get a "job" or open a business with extremely high chances of failing. I know even if we make $120,000/year, you will never be ahead because of taxes and super high cost of living. We are going back to Venezuela, start a little business. If we still living here, my depression will get out of control and I don't know how that will end. MY ADVICE TO future Canadian immigrants: If you are white collar, get ready for the ride of your life, it will be VERY HARD. If you are blue collar, young, strong, oriented to machines and that kind of jobs, and you have NOTHING back home, your future will probably be better here. Canada needs people who build their capitalist vision in the FROZEN winter, not people seating in offices under heated condition, those jobs are mainly reserved for the born here. Canada has positive things for those who are running from war, real death threats. For middle class folks like me, your quality of life will be significantly WORST. People get in debt here to cope with cost of life, they work to pay lines of credits, credit cards, mortgages, car payments etc. It's the typical debt slavery rat race trap. I feel lucky that I can actually run, most people here are traped in debt and could never scape this frozen nightmare.
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm the first-born son of an immigrant, and I hate it here. I sincerely hope your depression and mental health improves, all the best to you and your family.
Most of what you said here is felt by people born and raised in Canada. I had to leave BC's lower mainland because I knew I would never own a home, let alone ever make enough with dual incomes to raise a singular child. The houses my parents had the options to buy at $30,000 in the 1980's, (on one minimum wage income) are now worth half a million at a minimum.
Having studied in Canada and stayed there for about 2 years, I had decided not to settle there for good. That's why I love Dubai as it's closer to India and offer far better lifestyle than Canada.
Does Dubai Gives a Desi Vibe? I mean I know some dudes who are in Dubai and have been in Dubai. They say that Dubai does not feel like a foreign land like Europe or America because of so many Indians so they feel less isolated and closely related to India.
@@josephstalin9604 Well it depends on which area you are living and your work place. Same as in Canada, if you are staying in surrey or Brampton, you don't feel like living away from India.
I moved my entire family out of Canada to Europe last October after 33 years in the country. Canada is not the once great nation that it was. It is trending in the wrong direction to put it lightly. Make no mistake Canada is a beautiful country and I miss my home but I am having a very hard time envisioning a future for my children in Canada and that was a huge part of why we left. To put things into perspective I am an experienced engineer and my wife is a senior executive in finance (accounting professional) and with our relatively high family income we honestly did not have very much left over. Canada taxes and cost of living are outrageously high. Real estate is insanely overpriced. Government allows monopolies like Bell/Rogers(internet/phone) to gouge citizens. Property taxes are sky high and local governments are inept. There is no investment into families and infrastructure and the health care system is crumbling. On top of this the politics is extremely toxic and the current federal government is as bad as it gets. There is a reason why Canada is appealing for immigrants; they want you to come here so you can become tax slaves so that incompetent governments can line their own pockets. Canada used to be a country that enabled the average person to get ahead but those days are sadly over. I really hope things turn around one day but it's not looking good. On a final positive note Canada is pretty welcoming and safe to all despite the current government's obsessed focus on supposed systemic racism issues.
How much is enough! Not sure what you will find more satisfying in Europe. I was born in Europe and lived in 3 different countries. Married and raised my children in Canada in a comfortable lifestyle. Since retirement I live 6 month of the year on different continents in different countries for 20 years. My interest is People, cultures, nationalities and lifestyles! Wherever you go in the world it is the same, same, only different. I hope you find what you are looking for! Real home is within yourself!.
A few other causes of frustration: 1. You should also mention low wages (compounded with high taxes/cost of living) as a reason. Well paying jobs do not offer as much pay as even in India. 2. Highly regulated (License-Raj type) streams of most types of work (excluding IT so far at least) 3. Lack of availability/variety of goods to purchase. Can't blame the seller, the market itself is tiny - not a consumers' market 4. Lack of infrastructure/road-network/connectivity even within a province. Very high cost of travel/vehicle ownership 5. Very expensive to eat out (not to mention small serving portions not enough even for 1 person) 6. You already mentioned soaring Real-Estate prices, but I personally find the houses here are built very ugly. Or ugly enough to not do justice to the cost, and not much sense of space - tightly built together. For a price similar to that of a so called "detached" house here you could buy a sprawling bungalow in US on a much much larger lot. Lot sizes here are too small in general. 7. Not much to do throughout the year - not enough places to go 8. Dicey future of Canada's economy 9. Lower standard of education compared to what India/US/Europe can offer (Our kids have studied in 3 countries - so we know) 10. Super Dull life/community outside of Downtowns of big cities. Climate is cold - so are people here Overall Canada just benefits from being US's white neighbor and living in its shadows - while Canadians make themselves believe they don't like US. Honestly - Canada is a great country and may have a lot to offer to Canadians. It's just not for ambitious immigrants - the only reason they want you here is to earn taxes from you so you can pay for their retired (who are not too welcoming of immigrants anyway) - simple. Don't get fooled by the marketing... My US colleagues (whites) call ts a lame country with no vision - now I can see why :P The amount of struggle to just survive here under the pretext of being able to do well is just not worth it - in the end, i see most immigrants here are NOT doing so well, they think they are :)
I think you are being a bit harsh comparing India to Canada but indeed you spoke truth. Outside of the major cites in each province it is just all logs and lakes everywhere. Dull life style compare to what India has to offer.
You also forgot these 2 more reasons: 1. The Canadian Citizenship acts like the US Citizenship which *if you work overseas from Canada, you are still taxed from Canada* just like Americans who work outside of USA still has the US government tax their income 2. *Racism and cultural and employment discriminations do exist in Canada* even though many may say that Canada is a multi-cultural country
Taxes are huge. If you factor in CPP, EI, and Sale Tax, and you reach a certain tax bracket, it’s half of whatever you make. For example, if you make $19/hr, you bring home $15 for every hour you work. If you make $35-$40/hr, unfortunately you reach a high tax bracket and you roughly bring home $20 for every hour you work. Ironically, this seems like a punishment for your hard work, your time dedicated for training to get better skill. Once you have higher income, you are not qualified for any social support, especially child care. The only “good” for higher income is you are easily qualified for debts, such as mortgages, car loans, line of credit. Once you in debt, you are trapped to work to maintain the house, car, or stuff you think you have, but actually the bank owns them. Once you have a house or property, you pay property tax which average Canadian pay about $4000 per year. Once you are in Canada, either you are poor or rich. There is no middle class because they are taxed into poor. If you have any emergencies come up, you either sell your house back to the bank in the way of refinancing, or get more debt. Do people actually own anything in Canada? No, even you own your house but in the paper you are tenants of the Queen. If you decide to give the house to your child when you pass away, your child pay inheritance tax. Once you are in Canada, you own nothing and you try to be happy.
@@rsrs6959 back home where my beloved family, friends, friendly neighbours, and rich culture are. At least I can visit my mom and dad whenever I want. Honestly, if I stay here, the number of time that I am able to visit them can only be counted on the tip if my fingers. Stay back home, live within your mean, think positively, be successful and prosperous there if you think you can be successful somewhere else, help your neighbours and friends. Anywhere on Earth life means suffering so you can value any happy moments, then why don’t you choose where you can find happiness easily?
@@crocodiles122 True. It is so wonderful to speak with you and learn from. You are a blessing. Your statement that, "Anywhere on Earth life means suffering", is so profound. You are absolutely right that better to choose where we can find happiness easily. Some people after coming to Canada are afraid to go back home because they worry about what people will think of them, and that they will be seen as failure. I tell them that, -You are not a failure, the fact that you went to a different country, learnt the reality of life there, spoke honestly about it, and were courageous enough to do all this, shows that you are a success. I say that if you can do that then you can also go back home again. I tell them, -Don't let what other people will think of you stop you from living a true fulfilling life that brings you joy and happiness-life that is true to you. *We don't know how much time we have and what tomorrow brings* so *don't wait too long to go back home to be by your parents side, to love, care and serve them* *I pray that you reach your home land soon-your happy place* Keep working on it and I am sure in some time we will be watching a video by you where you share how you left Canada and settled back home. That video will help and inspire people who are on the same boat as you currently.
Very true. This is my 15th year in Canada and my 23rd winter ( Lived in Wisconsin for 8 years). The first winter was fun, but it gets harder. I am moving (back) to USA due to the cold. Many I know move to UAE or USA. Canada is great country tough.
Are you a US citizen or Canadian? The reason I ask is because I too am sick and tiered of the Canadian COLD and want to move, so want to find out *how to move to USA as a Canadian citizen, or to have dual citizenship (if that is available)* . I hope to find someone who can explain the best options and route in a detailed, step by step, easy to understand, simple manner
Winter in wisconsin, michigan, North dakota, Boston massachusetts, New York buffalo, New York syracuse, is worse than Toronto Ontario canada, Chicago winter is worse than Toronto, After New York and toronto, Chicago is the third most populous destination for indians, so Indians are not really leaving America or Canada because of the cold,
I'm Canadian born and saw where Canada was going in the early '70's. I started traveling to see what my options were in 1979. I finally got out - with huge debt, in 2019. I have sold everything, am debt free and living a beautiful life. So happy to not be there anymore!
2-3 months of winter if you live in Southern Ontario. In the western provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan, winter can be from 6-9 months from late September to May. And winters there are extremely harsh and dark
My sister from Chandigarh went to Canada with husband in 1990 .. Till 2020 ( in 30 yrs ) she couldn't buy a decent house . . She was living in 1 BHK flat ( Purchased ) at Toronto with her daughter . In 2021 she came back to India Rishikesh with her husband and living peacefully in Aloha ..Now she is very happy with entire family and she is saying the same things that she wasted 30 yrs in Canada .
I mean do you man. Kinda funny you went to florida where 90% of canadians retire.....but aight. Lol. Canada gave you a platform and a stable foundation to make your life what you wanted it to be. Much like this atrocious ungrateful incredibly obnoxious video we wish you the best. The real thing is when you a shitty "graphic designer" or whatever they were you aint gonna make it wherever you got competition. If the weather is your problem you knew that from the start before you got here....like i just dont get this mindset. Its rather disgusting. I love my country and everyone from wherever theyre from but once you whine and bitch......in simple terms....be gone. Wish you the best 😂
Fascinating! As someone born and raised in Canada, I find this surprising. But tbh, Trudeau seems like a corporate lap dog so I can't blame you. He's helping turn Canada into a 3rd world country.
With my experience of living outside my country (India) for nearly 12 Years as a Professor I can say that for living India is the best country. I have reasons to say so: 1. Most of the things is available at door step, whether groceries, vegetables or postal service. 2. Experience all type of weather. 3. House helps are easily available. 4. Diverse choices of food at affordable prices. 5. All types of Medical Service is available anytime, that too, at affordable price. 6. One is near to his/her family support. ++++++++ So, in my opinion if a professional's family is able to save INR10 Lakhs (1 Million) Plus Per Year in India, then India is the best place to live and work.
As a Muslim i can say India is a Bad country specially for Muslims because of BJP and other Indian Government involvements. Sikh And Christians also face many problems…YES maybe if you’re a Hindu you can live a better life but still Canada is FAAAAAAAAAAAAR better than INDIA..
@@jahangirakbar4524 No problem, you may settle in Pakistan or Afghanistan. As far as Sikhs are concerned, by the way, they are very successful in India. For muslims all opportunities are same as others but they're not interested in their progress. Not only in India but even in UK and USA Hindus are most successful and Muslims least. So don't blame India but your community.

My family and I came as landed immigrants in 1999/2000 when services for immigrants weren't that developed as the way they are now. Our first four years living as immigrants were pure TORTURE at least for me as a 17/18 year old. . I remember feeling this sense of isolation and depression I never experienced before. The empty streets and my parents also never helped. Nobody talks about the ---- depression ---- immigrants experience. Also, my mom, an engineer, until this day was only able to work in her field briefly in Canada, but the majority of her experience is in the United States. Yes, we need to acknowledge the Canadian brain drainage to the US too. Anyhow, the vast majority of the wealth that my family built is mostly from our work experience ABROAD. I ended up paying back my OSAP while living in Dubai. I had the BEST YEARS of my life in Dubai. My parents now live in a mortgage free home, however, my parents didn't choose a fancy home to start with. My parents are excellent example of being frugal, only now my mom occasionally buys Tim Hortons coffee. Having said that, is immigration worth it? I would say 'Yes' given that we come from a war-torn country Iraq. My family escaped a dictatorial regime in 1994/5. I would say, if you come from a failed state with no prospects to grow in your home country, then come here, you have a future but you've gotta work REALLY HARD. But if you do have a great foundation at home, and have the potential to grow there, and come from a country that's not entirely corrupted, then no.
I would like to live in Iraq where I could put my education to use. But I can not afford food, never mind moving to big oppertunity. Canada sucks big time ever since about 1997 and todays Liberials are a death blow.
Yoo im Iraqi too and my DREAM is to go to Canada 🇨🇦 I am fluent in English and I have decided to study French as well since it is commonly used in Canada, I've also Downloaded the " Discover Canada study guide " To read it during my spare time so that i'm ready for the test whenever i get to apply for a citizenship.
Imagine escaping a fourth world war torn country where basic necessities of life are missing and calling living here a torture. Lmaoo y'all folks would never be grateful
My couple moved to Canada three years ago in express entry and we watched your videos a lot. As we lived in UK and USA before, we started comparing our lives in those countries and here and found Canada is not a developed country. Life is hard here. Everything expensive , all our earnings go to rent despite now earning nearly 100,000 +. No savings 😭 And most importantly, we couldn't find jobs in our domain and we survived the first year with my wife working at Tim Hortons and me as Uber driver. Finally third year we are working office jobs but again hefty taxes, no savings and while we both have masters degrees, our supervisors are like guys with Diplomas, incompetents and cheap mindsets who feel insecure about their jobs all the time. We are feeling like is Canadian life worth it ? And this is despite earning 100,000 plus trust me life is very depressing here.
I totally get you. I moved to Asia and my savings after taxes is equal to six years worth of savings in Canada. It's the high taxes that eats up most of your income.
@@કુલદિપ-છ6લ if a person, who has some skills that guy would surely move out from here since he/she start feeling depression by regularly doing survival jobs. On the other hand, if you think that you are a looser , you are welcome to live in frozen zone with excited general labour jobs..
There are many reasons to move away from canada and very few reasons to move to Canada... As a born and raised Canadian leaving Canada was the best decision I have ever made
Canada is very high on self-esteem but very low in substance. As a Canadian who moved away from Canada 20 years ago, I can say it is the best decision I've made in my life. Remember that Canada ranks #6 on the Misery Index of all the developed countries. Since the pandemic, compassion and kindness which was scarce are non-existent now and health care is better anywhere else in the world. Consider medical tourist hubs...India, Thailand, for good health care. Canada is NOT the place to move to not if you want to feel like you belong to a human family...there is no warmth of human kindness in that very cold frozen country. People are cold, hardened and miserable. Have I mentioned expensive? How can anyone afford to live there...but good luck if you are going there...you will need it. If you skin colour is not white be prepared to be treated accordingly.
I completely agree with you that the place and people are COLD and yes it is an expensive freezer. The skin colour observation is also the sad bitter truth. *If you can please kindly recommend place(s) to move away from Canada to* ? Which place did you move to if you don't mind sharing and most importantly where would you recommend to move to?
@@rsrs6959 You'r writing about English canadian,Don't put Québecers in that.Yes the english way of canada is totaly racist even with us french speaking person.
@@ps3pspgoandroid I have heard that when the English only speaking Canadians visit Montreal and Quebec for holidays or vacation, and ask for information or help, then many a times they are ignored, and they don't get answers or help, because they spoke in English and not French. That is not my personal experience, but it is what I have been told by friends and by people who have traveled to Quebec and Montreal.
@@rsrs6959 Well your friends were unlucky that day cause even me i perfection my english in montreal by speaking with them even if I have the right to have full services in french and they usualy be kind to me even with my accent.
I came as immigrant to the UK. One of the down things is health care,- to see doctor is impossible. Luckily it takes only 1-2 hour flights to any other EU country to see doctor. And usually I buy medication online since can't see GP when we need it. But financially I am settled. Just bought £250k property, while couldn't afford £20k property at my home country. Jobs are everywhere. And I like that people are democratic not closed minded like in my birth country.
I am also a canadian born citizen and I spent 20 years abroad. when I came back to Canada, they made me feel like a foreigner in my own country, especially as I had lost my quebecer accent. I am 100% with you on that much debated "canadian experience" that I find so infuriatingly unfair and racist. I have 20 years experience in my field but because I don't have the canadian degree for it, I was snubbed by employers. Employers in Quebec blatantly erase from your resume all experience you've acquired abroad and see it as worthless.
This is one of the most illuminating yet mind boggling posts. To put it simply, Canadians hate your guts if you work elsewhere even as a "white Canadian" who was born in this country
1:Chronic Housing Unaffordability ( This is critical) 2: Low pay 3: Very high taxes 4:Poor public transport 5: Small savings opportunity due to high rent 6: You will never be rich My advice: Do Not come if you are already settled back home because door ke dhol suhawane hote hai

Here, in North America, the government do really care about people.

Hi guys, nice video as always! Personally, I have friends who left Canada for good because they preferred to go back to their old lifestyles - the truth is that life in Canada also feels quite superficial to me and it's crazy expensive!!! But if you're working hard to save money to visit back home as much as you can, it could be good to stop and be honest with yourself about your future. On a different note, if you're working hard and doing everything you're supposed to do and yet you're not on the path you expected, please don't feel like a failure. Sometimes it does not depend only on you - call it luck, destiny or God, there might be a better path leading elsewhere!
A lot of immigrants are very intelligent compared to the local population that has just finished with a high school degree. Most of us have gone to college bare minimum with qualifications to boot. But we don't have "Canadian experience" so we don't get hired.
@@patrickt49 you are not competing with high school graduates for good jobs lol there are many very well educated, hardworking, and smart second and third generation Canadians
You touched on a lot of good points. However I think you have downplayed how bad the housing affordability situation is and in turn how bad the political climate is becoming post covid due to violation of rights and freedoms as well as inflation.
DUMB ....really DUMB. "Inflation" is NOT restricted to Canada. It is a GLOBAL event .....AS IS COVID. "Violation of rights and freedoms"???

@@lalani888ARTblue It’s worst because all the immigrants are buying everything and now people that lived there for decades can’t even buy the house they want
My biggest regret was not moving to Canada when I had the opportunity but after seeing this videos I felt so good never heard this part from anyone who move to canada read so many comment here looks like most of them are not happy ,many people wanted to Canada to save more money and enjoy a decent life this is totally opposite as written by many in this comment section who had lived there for many years ,I have been moving around UAE/ Oman for work touchwood I am very happy here I can always make a short trip to india sometime twice a year to visit my parents and family and during festival recently got married built a house ,took a car ,arrange money for the marriage of my two younger sister.Alhumdullilah peacefull life. So true grass is always not greener if you see from other side of the road.
You took the right decision bro.I resigned my well paying job in Qatar and came to canada.it’s been 4 years I am struggling and realized that it was a wrong decision..
Health care is the worst. Specialist appointment wait time is 8-9 months in my case. For my wife got appointment for NTE in one month. Because of medical I am planning to leave even though I have PR. Canada is for only healthy people. It’s getting costlier here day by day and taxes are more.
I totally agree with you. There is a saying, Jaan hai toh jahaan hai, *Health is real wealth* , so better to be where you will be taken care of well, looked after and attended to on time.
There is an element of unrealistic expectation in the views expressed by newly arrived immigrants especially those whose background is very different to that of the average Canadian: the nuclear family even the one parent family is the norm in Canada whereas many immigrants are used to the extended family with its wide support system but lack of privacy and autonomy. This is a crucial difference and is the way Western society has developed for good or ill. The freedom of choice enjoyed by smaller family groups is regarded as valuable and the loneliness and isolation of that way of life something that must be accepted as part of the bargain. Immigrants from an extended family culture cannot expect to recreate the situation as it existed in their home countries and must adapt to the unfamiliar loneliness . Why did they emigrate in the first place? To earn more of course, to improve their standard of living but also to escape the sometimes stifling atmosphere of the extended family network. Only when immigrants outnumber Canadians could this perhaps change.
Exactly this! We moved out of India more to be free of the societal pressure than money. Even though money was a factor the autonomy the western lifestyle brings is more valuable to me than anything in life. It's all about priorities. Videos like these can help people see what's at stake and take and informed decision.

You are right. But Indians move out because of pressure and injustice within the country. But it also takes a very cold heart to leave parents who are also old and rarely visit them once every two years. Just imagine yourself leaving your parents and going and living in a far away country. I am in IT, and I am earning on the high end. I can come to Canada and try to fulfill my wishes. I do wish for privacy. But the thought of leaving my parents when they are 53 and me being selfish for my own sake is more than Disgusting.
I moved to Omtario from Québec 20 Years ago and still want to go back. It must be so much more challenge when coming from abroad. After learning English I was sadly surprised to hold work position the same as new immigrant that had university degree, while I was only a high-school graduate.
I have worked internationally for 20 years and have spent most of that time trying to convince people that Canada is not the paradise that they think. Also, I am opposed to immigration from any country where I cannot gain citizenship. Why should it be so one-sided?

Nicely explained real negative / caution points for staying in canada. My daughter is in toronto only since july,2018 and I endorse your observation in 5-6 points. Thanks for sharing views.
I stayed in Canada for 5 years did my high school joined adult institute to fulfill my credits,joined uni did job in Claire’s for few months but was severely depressed, gained weight and ended up coming back to Pakistan and now I am perfectly fine. 5months in Pakistan and I am 100% fine
better go to Dubai, near home also(Pakistan) these days education is no longer free for children in Canada you need thousands of dollars for that, is that true?
I feel that Canada not only does not have enough jobs, Canadians employers do not trust outsiders / immigrants with their varied and rich experience for local jobs. Canadian companies would have gained a lot from the varied experience of immigrants, (my opinion entirely). To summarise Canadian immigration system is broadly faulty
Canadians don’t trust Indians because of how Indians behave nothing else. People like these vloggers show an unrealistic image of the country to make money from TH-cam while setting up false expectations of others who come here. Indian TH-camrs are at fault here completely.
I freaking HATE THIS PLACE! I hate Canada and I hate living in Edmonton Alberta! I'm saving my ass off just to move to Las Vegas or even somewhere in Texas

Canada doesn't have many job opportunities. PERIOD! no one talks about the wage being so low that it's considered an unlivable wage. Even if you have Canadian experience you are not automatically successful.
This country doesn’t offer any job you need to create a job and pay the government higher tax that’s all🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️all you have to work 2 jobs open a business and pay higher tax
The only reason I have moved to Canada is canadian passport .I will move to US or any gulf country as soon as I get the passport .Who the hell wants to live in Canada?????
It was to see that finally someone in canada is talking about people moving out of canada....globally there is only one perspective... everyone moves to canada....whats a difficulty here is when even the healthcare system is slow for children and is damn expensive as some services are not covered ...example children with high tendencies of dental concerns would need dental help for a prolonged period of time...and it becomes a challenge to have it covered under a limited cap by the insurance companies. Second of all children with special needs or diagnosis of any developmental delay takes very long...from what i know even diagnosis that need the child to perform some physical activities are being conducted online....which is chargeable....this has been disappointing us terribly here.
@@Shaylas My friend who is considered low income have child who need some special dental work done but is not covered by healthy smiles. The poor child will probably grow up toothless. We tried everything and kept calling the Ontario Government for financial coverage. I had premium dental insurance and normal dental insurance before and there is always a capped amount unless you are super high up in a corporation. Our dental system is brutal and I know when I travel elsewhere, I will get all my work done overseas for cheap and even better technology.
I'm a canadian in my fifties and Canada has the worst dental coverage of any G8 country. I volunteer at a food bank and the number of people coming through who are toothless is staggering. These things USED to be much better in Canada. The govermnment used to pay for yearly eye exams, not anymore. The federal government used to pay more into housing and education, not anymore. Most of these issues are getting WORSE in Canada as they are getting better in many states.
@@Shaylas thanks shaila for giving your feedback on my experience with dental expenses ...however i will definitely go back to my son's pedodontist and ask him if he can consider the prolonged dental help part ...from the insurance company we are tied up with the dental centre doesn't seem to be negotiating what is priority treatment....and i am completely on the same page with u about dental facilities in govt hospitals in India is way below expectations and i did spend a lot for my son there ...but the packages here with tax slab aren't the same and m sure everyone navigates their finances tightly especially wen one is new.... It will be great if u share ur dental centre details and i can contact
Happy that I am not the only person that is starting to wonder about what the future holds in Canada. Between overpriced eduction, extremely poor healthcare ( for a well developed country) and now poor politics, I am debating going back to Western Europe after 25 years.
Nothing wrong with the healthcare in Canada. It is a 100% UNIONIZED workforce ....as are ALL public sectors across Canada in the federal, provincial, and civic levels. UNIONS in the public sectors represent 25% of the entire working people in Canada. ONE IN FOUR WORKERS WORK IN THE UNIONIZED PUBLIC SECTOR. EVERY ONE OF THEM GETS PAID WELL, HAVE EXCELLENT BENEFITS, HAVE A TOP LEVEL PENSION PLAN, HAVE TOP LEVEL PENSION BENEFITS. Every minute they work any OVERTIME, ....they get paid. Every time a UNION COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT EXPIRES .....EVERY ONE OF THESE WORKERS WANTS MORE THAN THE LAST COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT. Just to use ONE example ....ordinary teachers in British Columbia are paid $100,000 annually ...for working NINE MONTHS OF THE YEAR. Their contract is up this year and they are already complaining their wages are NOT keeping up with "inflation" ....which is high this ONE year. They will get a huge raise to address this high inflation, and they will KEEP this huge raise even if/when inflation drops back down for the next TEN YEARS. Also, this raise will be based on PERCENTAGE OF ALREADY HIGH WAGES .....TRANSLATING TO BIG REAL DOLLARS. When they get this "NEW COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT" ......CANADIAN TAXES WILL GO UP FOR EVERYONE ELSE. Is it expensive to live in Canada? YOU BET IT IS .......THANKS TO ONE ASPECT OF THE CANADIAN SYSTEM ......THE UNIONIZED PUBLIC SECTOR. .
I have been here 41 years from Holland, and Canada is no longer what it used to be when I first came here. I am living in EXTREME poverty now and can’t get my bills paid. The politics is a farce, biggest liars and puppets around. I have tried to get retraining to get out of this desperate pit, but the government doesn’t help with that ar all. Poor, people who are afraid are much easier to control. And big bucks are being made on the poor. Healthcare is pathetic, if you have chronic conditions it’s horrific now. My son left to live in Lithuania and was able to build up a business there, which they wouldn’t have been able to do here, because all costs and all restrictions would have made that impossible. He loves Lithuania, he walks everywhere eats good. The cost of food is utterly ridiculous. Fresh produce is soo expensive, even more expensive then all meat and diary people can’t afford to eat a healthy diet. So they burn out, get sick, go on welfare, and then IF they are lucky they might be able to rent a little room in a house that they don’t own in their retirement. If you don’t have family who helps you, you are f$&/-d! Thanks Canada, for absolutely nothing! If they would help people get back on their feet again, they could build themselves up again, but the idiots aren’t interested in that!

I moved to Canada in 2019 as a student, I will be moving back to India in November 2022 permanently (Thank God!!!), I want to say, things are horrible experience with expense, healthcare (most important), rascism, job profile, depression etc.... I absolutely regret the decision to move to Canada now, I am suffering from some sort of a parasitic infection in my body (lot of itching, tingling of movement around my body, skin flaking, etc.... Please Please Please don't waste your time in Canada. There is no hope in Canada. This place is a nightmare.
Please go for the homeopathy treatment...i had bit same problem i went to typical homeopathic govt hospital in delhi and took free treatment though homeopathy treatment is lengthy but i got the results after 1 year i am okay stopped medicine
Yes brother. *PLEASE* share this info with Indians in India, so that they are not misled by the fake sugar coated social media posts and pics about life in Canada, and they don't waste their precious time, money and life by moving to Canada, in search of a better life. Not only that, but the racist Caucasians, (ofcorse not all but there is racism) also tell them "Go back to your fudging country" they look open them with with anger and say that jobs are being taken up by immigrants and along the same line will also say that immigrants milk the system that they use the social system (Once again, not coloring all Canadians and Caucasians with the same colour, ofcorse not all, but there is racism ). Tim Hortons wants to expand and operate in India, but we all know how unhealthy the food is, and how bad it is for the health. India already has obesity and diabetes problem, and also instead of promoting Timz, India should promote it's own citizens business effort, it's own start ups, and the entrepreneurs and talent of the country, and be as healthy conscious and self sufficient as possible. India should focus on being self dependent because as we know one of the economic lessons we learnt from COVID (supply chain and import problems) is that countries need to be self-dependent. So why not they live in India where they actually already have a good life, have good social life and support, and try to help India (the mother land). Canada's immigration system has been easier then other countries, because they need immigrants to sustain the country. Canada has land but not enough population to support and sustain. The aging baby boomers need help, to be taken care of, and the country needs younger human resource and the capital/money they bring. So, India thinks that Canada is doing favor to Indians by letting them immigrate, but it is actually the other way around. Indians are doing Canada a favor by coming to the country, starting small business, hiring employees, purchasing cars and real estate, paying property taxes, and boosting the economy. PLEASE spread the awareness to your friends, relatives, and people of India in India, so Indians don't come to Canada and become frustrated and deeply depressed.
Thanks for putting this up so well. I have been living in Canada for 3 years now and I would potentially leave Canada once I have Citizenship and get a job offer in a warmer place in the US. Also, my wife and I have had to travel back home for dental surgery. The surgery was so costly and it would take so long to be done that it was cheaper to buy airplane tickets and go back to Brazil to do it. In regard to the USA, people often compare health care, saying how expensive it is, but at least you have the option to go and pay for it. Here, if you have an emergency you sit and cry, the emergency takes hours and, unfortunately, the government totally neglects the problem and every day gets worse.
I have to be honest. I HATE people like you. You use my country as a bolt hole when things get tough. This is why I think Canada should be barring duo citizenship.

Alright lets make this clear, I was born in India raised up half of life in Canada surprisingly at two cities in Ontario. My parents came here as immigrant and they were stuck with survival job at first 3 years in this country, at that time we were living in Toronto and afterwards we moved to London ON where we brought our first house and build another one while keeping the old house. Since I know the situations in India, I would say it aint worth this life to get a good life in Canada. Before I turn 25, I would be fully planning to move to Southern US states as life is cheaper (cheaper house, better job stability, cheap gas/grocery.. or everything in general) and affordable (less tax less than 30%)there. Single life and brining a new live is much better in US and shit getting worse in Canada each day. In order to have a good life in Canada, you need a good stable house (a modern house in any cities in Ontario is 800k, higher in Toronto), getting a house loan aka mortgage for such needed a high paying job (100k per year) if you want to have kids in Canada and follow Indian culture, Canada is your not to place (political situations in Canada aint lookin promising). Limited freedom and more govt involvement is driving the economy to worse than ever. The country will keep brining immigrants from worldwide, putting them in survival work and making them contribute to all factory work. Nothing to say about climate (climate has always been worse in Canada, especially winter that are longer in some years).Yes, Canada was great during my elementary year everything was cheap, youngsters were happy and motivate to building something here. After 2016, everything started to fall apart, the gap for any immigrant to reach the CANADIAN DREAM is bigger than ever. So if you are planning to come to Canada, you would able to learn life (things can get challenging), trust me if you didn't make any progress in your life situation for the first 4 years in the country, your life ain't gonna get better, your situation gonna be the same for the next 25 years.

Thank you for sharing that real life experience. I shared my opinion, in a comment above (starts with "Thank you. I really appreciate you showing both sides of the coin..."), where I said that I feel that for people who own their own residence, are well-to-do, and living a nice comfortable life in India, for them it does not make sense to leave that good life and come struggle in Canada, and someone, "lucky dhiman", commented saying that I am being negative, for the reasons I listed (one of the reasons being slow poor quality health care) why it does not make sense. I wish he would read your real life experience and learn the truth. People sometimes think we are being negative and discouraging when we are being honest. Experience is definitely the best teacher, it is a tough teacher, but the most convincing teacher.
@@zoeyanaqvi-zn7482 this is 100% not true, the healthcare system in Canada is respected worldwide! The problem is Indians who abuse the healthcare system who don't take preventive care. Indians flood the emergency room with non-emergencies. This is not how healthcare works in a modern world. Look at these messages saying that somebody came into the emergency room for stitches, waited 5 hours and they're bleeding stopped and they went home. So they didn't need stitches that's why they were waiting
you guys are amazing. bieng a Pakistani Canadian i had to struggle really hard for my first year or two. then, i have noticed things were started getting little better and now its been more than ten years i am doing good, hard work and persistency definitely pays off.
Not only immigrants leave Canada. Those who were born in Canada, like me, leave as well. I left in 2006 due to one of the reasons you mentioned: health care. I simply wanted to get access to private health care coverage, something that is banned in Canada (along with North Korea and Cuba, so Canada is in good company there!), so that I have full control over what I want done health-wise to my body, not some govt authority trying to cut corners. And, at the time I was still in my 30s so I was young enough to get it so that I could build up a track record so my monthly premiums don't rise. I ended moving to a Latin American country, which most Canadians would still consider the 3rd world. But it's a helluva lot better than paying 53% taxes to the Canadian system that barely functions. And now that we see that the Canadian govt can seize all your assets just because they don't agree with what you are saying ... well, that's scary. I'm glad I live in this so-called "3rd world" country and not in Canada anymore.
Lived for 5 yrs in Canada, masters + working. Did not take PR & moved back to India in 1995. Took decision to come back before we had kids. Never regretted the decision. Funnily enough my father in law was offered PR in early 70s and he had refused it! While leaving a friend said, you are taking a decision we want to take but cannot take. Did not want to be known as visible minority plus could never trade in my Indian citizenship, no divided loyalties (at least for me).
Absolutely the right decision you made. If I knew this perspective I would’ve never moved here. The amount of money I’ve spent to come here I could’ve spent it in investing in something good, maybe a small business and could’ve lived a satisfied with my parents, friends and most importantly my own soil. Sorry to say I’ve seen people abusing India and everything about India after coming here, it boils my blood. I mean how ungrateful you can be. If that’s how they feel India is they can fuckin leave completely, isn’t it.?
We came back home from UK after 9 years there. Absolutely love it here. One advice for those who come back is to make sure you are financially sound. That decides whether India is heavenly or a nightmare.
Regarding coming to Canada and not finding a job in your profession. I cannot understand why people emigrate to Canada when the need for the profession is oversaturated or non existent. If three thousand local people graduate annually and there are nine hundred positions created annually, I am stumped why you wouldn't know this and attempt to move to Canada knowing there are no available jobs. If there are available jobs and your profession is oversaturated, the pay won't be as high as what it could have been. Supply and demand. Too much supply and not enough demand. If the industry becomes regulated, people will get more money, they will eliminate jobs to pay the people more money and it will become impossible to get a job unless someone dies. If your job isn't about essential services, public services or the growth of Canada, there are no jobs. Canada needs to get back to developing products and our government has been selling houses and education for income instead of developing the economic growth with a sustainable business plan. I was born here. I chose to stay away from oversaturated education paths. I don't buy into the "I need one of everything" mentality (I see a whole bunch of people driving new cars and shopping and eating out and I have a way better job and way more investments and most importantly, self control). I do not engage in social media and I am disgusted by people taking real or fake selfies of them having a good time and then sending the pics to their friends and family, near or abroad. You people are part of the reason that people come to Canada unprepared. You don't just show up get a job, a new house , a car, go shopping and eat out all the time. Your friends and family are in debt and lying to you with every smiling photo they send. Yesterday I watched a immigrant Canadian family stage photos in front of the house they live in. They made sure their kids were dressed up and that every photo contained their car and the kids toys and a bunch of fake smiles. I actually thought they were going somewhere until they went back in the house. Fake. Can it be good? Sure, but you are going to have to work for it. Spend only 80% of what you make and invest the rest. Don't buy new cars. Don't eat out all the time. Don't order in food al the time either. Don't fall into the fast fashion trap (all the name brand luxury stuff available in discount malls is crap. A real Gucci purse would be $6k not $400, a real Hugo Boss suit is $12-$15k, not $2k) If there is an extra work opportunity, take it and bank the extra money. Don't take vacations all the time. I've made $5k in a day by working a Saturday and I saved it all. If you did the above, in time you will have secondary income from investments and be able to weather economic uncertainty. If the economy is good, you can still save, invest and treat yourself because you have cash flow. If you don't understand money or the economy, you will become an economic slave. Monthly payments on education loans, housing, car payments, credit card balances etc and it will feel like a noose around your neck. A lot of people do this and blame Canada, but you need to accept responsibility for expecting the country to take care of you for no reason. Do your homework. Your friend's photos and lives are fake. The more you know the more complicated life is and the more mental stress you are under, so maybe Canada isn't the place for you if you want the simple life.
I just recently moved to Canada and also have opened my youtube channel and I agree with the things you pointed. First yes, competition on the job market here is extremely high also it is extremely cold and windy! I am from Eastern Europe and I thought that I know what cold does mean but not, Canada is a way more colder 😅
Interesting that even i saw on youtube clip where this retired old man who were a native canadian were also prefer drier and less colder area and he picked Arizona. And already in process of immigration

As a Canadian born and raised now living abroad, I'll tell you the number one reason not to come to Canada: it's most likely will fall within 10 years. Taxes will go sky high because of every stupid decision the government did with the covid free money scam. In my former province, most businesses were struggling to find workers as people would rather stay at home collecting their checks. I'll say this to potential immigrants, Canada used to be a nice place but that's was before 2000-2010. You are getting sold a lie. Now the #1 concern of the government is which pronouns you want to be refer to. If this insanity is appealing, have at it but I'm never going back. They'll have to get me deported from where I live!
you're right. they just printed money and giving to everybody. soon time is coming we will have to pay for that. already prices are rising. there will be high inflation, high taxes, your money in the bank is worth nothing. house prices will fall and god know how things will turn out.
In India you can see specialist in 5 minutes.i was pregnant in canada and believe me I didn't get to see gynecologist. I fly insia for treatment during pregnancy.i am the real example
Thank you for sharing your experience and bringing awareness so people thinking of moving to Canada can make an informed decision. Please do share this and info on reality of Canada life with your friends and relatives back home in India, so that they don't have false expectations. 🙏🙏

I live in Switzerland , which may or may not be regarded as a wintery country (though the climate in the lower regions is formally oceanic, like Vancouver climate). If its drops to -5C I am ready to riot and if it's -10C it's a winter I still remember bitterly years later. I was stunned when you started talking about those -25C temps, but it was expected, and I was left speechless when you said even -40C temps are possible in some very inhabited places. I didn't know this, and I am a geography nerd. I couldn't live somewhere that essentially deletes most of the year from your life, outside a building.
I’m a adult child of immigrants to Canada and I would give anything to not have been born here. If you are thinking of moving to Canada, think extremely carefully about the negatives of being Canadian; there are many!… and more every day. This country is no longer the Canada of decades ago. Today there are many better countries that offer better quality of life, more freedoms, lower taxes, and health care. I wish every day my parents had not immigrated here.
One where you have freedom to leave, have freedom to choose your own health care treatment where procedures are not limited to what the government covers and nothing else, diagnostic tests included, one where I can own my land and not rent it from a monarch, one where my income tax rate is not over 50%, one where I am free to make choices. Canada is not a free country. Don’t get me wrong, I am well aware that it is not the worst, but as for basic personal freedoms of what you can and can’t do with your body, do with your money, your freedom of movement and travel it is so far from free it doesn’t even qualify. Even the country my parents left to move here was more free (not at the time, but it is now). I don’t care how much money one can make in a given country (side note; if that’s what you’re after Canada is not where you want to live), personally I care about freedom (of civilized choice) for myself, my family, and my fellow countrymen.
If you are a visible minority, you may feel uncomfortable because people could treat you differently from your home country. Some older immigrants may not speak English or French well and have difficulty adapting. In some suburban towns, you need a car just to go shopping instead of walking to the store.
LOL "visible minority" You have any idea the demographics of major metro areas in Canada? What part of India has cities that are 65% white people?? The amount victim mentality from Indian people is insane

Australia and Canada are similar in terms of cost of living, but our weather is worse and American media seeps across the border so the political mood has become very toxic.
Excellent video!! Please make videos about the high crime rate, homelessness, abject poverty, and social illnesses like same-sex sex marriage in Canada !!
I've lived in China for 16 years. I left Canada when I was 23. There's just very little growth or job opportunities (I'm in Education and have an MA), salaries are lower compared to China, and real estate is waaaaaaaaay too expensive. I also don't like the politicially correct, cancel culture. And police are everywhere....so many laws and bilaws, rules and regulations, high taxes...and it's winter half the year!
The sad reality is that in Canada media is only worried and sympathetic with transgender people problems. But never addresses regular people's day to day issues like unaffordable housing and health care issues. We are bombarded with LGBT flags everywhere, but no one talks about drug issues or lack of good jobs
Why do you think the government and news are pushing these LGBT issues all the time? It's so that all the people don't talk about the other thousands of bigger problems in their country.

U r always welcome back home 🤗
It’s been 4 years for me here and I honestly can say I have achieved nothing in my life yet. It scares me when I think I can’t return whatever my parents had invested in me. The fact is you’ll never have a good paying job in Canada being an immigrant. When I say this trust me I mean it. Most you’ll get is a minimum wage job which can make you survive the life here. Taxes are high definitely and what I feel is you’re working to make someone else’s life easier.
(P.S: people who’ve stayed in Canada will understand who I’m implying to)
No one wants to be your freind, scope of socializing is zero coz mostly it’s cold round the year so everyone hardly come out, especially in Northern provinces like Yukon, Saskatchewan, Manitoba.
Healthcare is a joke. If you feel sick and not well and you wanna see a doctor be prepared to wait for hours and hours. I once had stomach infection and I had to wait 5 hours till someone could see me. I asked for painkiller at-least so I could bear the pain but they refused that as well. You might well see someone you love dearly and with whole heart die in-front of you and you could do nothing. (I’ve experienced it myself hence saying)
You’re a lone survivor who’ll always keep fighting.
The only person who can make money here is businesses and high paid jobs which are reserved to Canadians. That’s how Canada’s job market is. Canadians’ first and if there’s something left they’ll look at you. By the amount of money people invest here they can establish a nice business back in their country itself and earn accordingly on own terms.
Most importantly you’ll cut yourself from all emotional supports like family, freinds etc.
I was social person back in India who liked making new freinds and memories but it’s nothing like that here.
And it’s the same life, no different.
You wake up, dress, eat, go to work, come back, eat, sleep. No different.
No fun and nothing. You actually don’t live in present, you live in an expectation of a better tommorow.
You’ll always have a smile when you greet someone but I guarantee you no one’s gonna check on you to if you don’t start a conversation even with a simple “Hi”. Mostly Canadians are nice but again some will systematically judge you and say nothing but you’ll see in their actions, the way they’ll talk in a twisted way etc.
Yes I’m not saying that Canada’s bad or it’s no good but trust me it will take forever to build a life here especially with the number of people moving here from round the world.
If you’re well off financially from back home Canada’s a paradise for you. Indeed it’s a beautiful country with lots of beauty and lots to explore but remember everything comes with a cost here. Everything comes with a cost. People need to stop believing in this fake illusion and come only if they got a purpose here. The only reason why they’ll let you in the country is for money and once you’re in you’ll have to keep spending, doesn’t matter if you’re broke or whatever you have to.
Once I earn I’ll happily give up my PR status and go back to India as i very well know what the situation is how it’s gonna be in future.
So just one piece of advise to every middle class person like me, guys please invest and spend your money wisely coz we know how hard it is to earn and it’s high time Canadians start appreciating what immigrants like us do for them by burning ourselves day and night and start realizing that their past generation once came from some other part of the world as well and settled here. Being white doesn’t make you a nice Canadian, you’re actions defines you more than your words.
90% of this country is built by immigrants and that’s how it’s gonna develop in future, so if they keep treating us the same way good luck to them 🙂.
Also a plus note to anyone thinking that Asians are stealing your jobs, go get outside and have the balls to face them and take it away from them. Staying home and ranting and abusing us that we’re taking your opportunities and blah blah isn’t gonna work. We are so successful round the world because we are hardworking, honest and respectful to everyone. Even if we’re earning minimum and barely surviving here we always make sure we’re not burden on the government or anyone else and won’t keep crying.
A big shoutout to all you guys who came here in the hope of a better future but are still struggling.
Keep hustling and you’ll reach there, if not step down and go back and start your life again on your home soil. There’s no shame in experimenting continuously rather than sitting ideally and crying about future.
All the very best my people and lots of love to you ❣️

I don’t understand what you mean, who is this guy and how are you thankful to him
He is a financial analyst, investment expert, cryptocurrency trader and lots more, through his help and level of expertise in the online financial have been earning constantly and effortlessly
This sounds amazing, I have heard about the countless opportunities yet cryptocurrency and forex markets creates, and how the enlightened few benefit from it but skepticism has always been a hindrance
This is superb, your confidence alone is enough to change my mentality as it stands, how can I do business with him
Thanks for the help friend, I’ll contact him immediately

Investing is more better than saving, when you invest rightly, it helps you bring more money in the nearest future.
That is correct once you figured out Eft investment for gain and dividend income, you can do well with initial $100K
We applied for PR. Got invitation for my family within 10 months. Landed in GTA in 2016. Stayed there for a one month vacation became PRs. Observed many things and spoken to many of my friends while I was there. Situation was pathetic in a nutshell. Went back to continue my job in Middle East.
For 3 4 years I thought about what should we do. Should we move or not.
Ultimately decided to let go the PR status & not Waste my savings on this PONZY scheme.
Still working in Middle East and in Europe, family shifted back to India purchased a premium apartment a nice car. With our foreign savings I can easily retire in India - I'm still 39!
Best decision ever!!!

Wow you did the right thing for you
If you are well settled in India/Pakistan.. Have good social life then moving to Canada isn't worth it... Life is damn difficult here... Things are expensive like crazy.. specially house rents..get ready to work two jobs just to get by.. Even after that it's impossible to save any money... Weather is kind of depressing... You might enjoy snowfall for couple of months but with time grey weather become frustrating and takes toll on your mental health..
I really hope our Indian subcontinent gets developed so no one have to leave their home country where weather and culture everything is so colourful and full of life..

My wife was sick and passed out with high fever. Ambulance dropped her at the emergency where she waited around 10 hours and came back home. next day we went to a different hospital in neighbour city but same story and came back after hours of waiting. Next day her family doctor calls her a liar on phone and claims she didn't go to hospitals at all. At that point I lost it and set the record straight with the doctor. Canadian health care system puts 3rd worlds to shame. We are just saving enough money to go back home and get done with this depression. At least we will have a hospital we can get a treatment on time
Thank you for sharing that real life experience.
I shared my opinion, in a comment above (starts with "Thank you. I really appreciate you showing both sides of the coin..."), where I said that I feel that for people who own their own residence, are well-to-do, and living a nice comfortable life in India, for them it does not make sense to leave that good life and come struggle in Canada, and someone, "lucky dhiman", commented saying that I am being negative, for the reasons I listed (one of the reasons being slow poor quality health care) why it does not make sense. I wish he would read your real life experience and learn the truth. People sometimes think we are being negative and discouraging when we are being honest. Experience is definitely the best teacher, it is a tough teacher, but the most convincing teacher.
Thanks Sam for sharing your story. I want to do mba abroad and Canada is one of my go to destinations. I had same question for these countries like Canada or Germany, who provide FREE healthcare. I know that sometimes they take weeks to give an appointment and they take emergency cases on priority. But what if someone goes with chest pain and they conclude its not severe so they give a date for next month but in reality, that person had some serious chest issue like cancer and till next month it grew very much and it reached to a very bad stage which is treatable but it already decreased overall patient’s life span. Now who will take the responsibility for this? Would government or hospital take the responsibility of this loss? Patient came to hospital on time, when it could be stopped. Atleast these situations can be handled in countries like India. Even before going abroad, i am able to analyse that this free healthcare is actually nonsense. Please correct me if i am wrong.
so sorry this happened.
Why does canadian hospitals have a big waiting area? Coz the wait is so loooong
My God... unbelievable !!! In India we can consult a specialist on the same day ..infact here we even take 2-3 opinions of different docs in a week's time
I left Canada 8 years ago because I was an unappreciated skilled professional. I am now an American citizen living the American dream! Best decision ever!
Do you still advice the same
@@lenguindon5019 : If you're only reason for getting into healthcare is to make tons of money and that is it, you should not be in this profession in the first place. Being a Physician is a Sacred Trust. Don't the people you are caring for count at all?! Problem is; everybody today, want too much in life. Living reasonably, comfortably does not seem to be enough for people anymore. It's a very, sad and selfish attitude that almost, everyone has today, and everybody is suffering because of it.
Hey there, man. I'd love to talk with you about how you did it. I'm trying to do much of the same right now, and I'm only 19. Could we speak?
@@joshuacormier1780 Actually, I arrived in Canada with freshly applied nurse petition from the US, with a full-on priority date. That helped a lot.
Yeah you are living in a country that is deteriorating so badly that they expect civil war to break out any time. I have two American friends who left Portland Oregon because of the right wing nutjobs. They are now Canadian citizens and doing very well.
I'm so glad you brought up healthcare. As a Canadian Citizen, I've struggled with this train wreck called healthcare for almost ten years. They just casually let your health deteriorate till you're almost dead, then fix it at the lats minute, only to drop care before you are fully healed, and let you slowly deteriorate again. It's brutal.
Yeah many people are unaware of this reality, thank you for sharing. If you could move anywhere else, where you would you move to?
@@rsrs6959 Hmm, that's a good question. I've always wanted to visit India, or sometimes I just think I should move to Mexico. But I'd have to spend some time and see how I like a place before I decide.
@@zanleuxs Yeah, I think that's the best thing to do, to try it out first, and then based on trial experience, decide on whether or not you want to move there for good. A lot of immigrants make the mistake of not trying it out first, burning all bridges, and just moving abroad right away for good.
Thank you for the valuable advice, and I will apply it as well.
You should visit India, and other places where English is widely understood and spoken, so that the language barrier is not a problem, and thus it will make it easier to move if you decide to.
I personally want to movie to a place where the weather is not too hot/humid and not too cold, as I can't take either extremes.
Here I am sick and tiered of the harsh winters, the back breaking shoveling, the icy road conditions that make it risky to be driving on the slippery roads, top that with unaffordable real estate housing and expensive living.
If you have any suggestions of places where the weather is pleasant year round and also affordable, then please do kindly let me know.
@Rainbow warrior Thank you...Niceee...
I do remember my somewhat elderly relative saying he loves Thailand...he had gone there to attend a wedding during the winter months and said he would love to settle there....Another friend of mine went to Thailand during the summer (I couldn't get why he choose summer but anyways) and he said he could not bare the heat/humidity, he said he loved the people there, but to settle there he would need to learn the language....
Which place would you personally pick if you had to pick one?

I would like to state one most important thing for those who are planning to come to Canada. The housing market here is out of control. If both the partners have decent salary, most of the amount will be paid on mortgage and the saving will be extremely low. And, I’m talking about the house hold income of $150k in Calgary, and more than 200k in GTA area. Not here to discourage anybody, just telling the ground reality.
Dude, you're lucky if you can get a mortgage! Otherwise you're left paying 2-3× that in rent every month.
People may enjoy working in Canada but they should be aware, in 2022, they are arriving at a 'work camp' and should expect to live as they did with parents, with roommates and they should expect that around 90% of their income goes to paying for the minimum living requirements in order to work the 46 hours a week, 52 weeks a year required to pay for rent/minimum phone/bills/insurance/car payments/gasoline etc. So, that's fine, if they are prepared to work-to-live-to-work, to put off having a 'lifestyle' or hobbies or parties or vacations and can live without beer, cigarettes, candies or disposable income? Then okay, Canada is a place for you!
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. I personally benefited from the market crisis as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
I agree with you and I believe that Professionals are currently dominating the market since they have access to both the necessary strategy for making money in this industry and exclusive insider market information.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
Personally, I would always advise getting a professional help so they can steer you through the choppy market.
I’m Glad i stumbled on this. Please, if its not too much of a hassle for you, can you drop the details of the expertise that assisted you and how to get in touch with him.?
@@Florencecoxx I get guidance from *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* . Most likely, the internet should have his basic info..
Wow these comments make me realize I'm not alone. I was born here. Daughter of European immigrants. When my parents immigrated in thr late 70s, it was different. Less rules, lower taxes, affordable housing, they were able to save. They left back to Europe before the vaccine mandates were put in. I feel like Canadians are uncultured, not very worldly, they don't care about their neighbors and are overly fake. The rules here have gotten to be too much. The government dictates every aspect of your life. Healthcare is a mess. I remembered 20 years ago when I started working I made money was able to save and enjoy life....things took a turn very quickly and will only get worse.
@@monolap222 Finally someone who gets it. They built their wealth by taking from and exploiting the forefathers of the persons who are now immigrating to their countries for a better life, and then have the audacity to be upset because they want to come and settle there, all the while not realising that they are enjoying the standard of living they currently do because they stole from the same countries these immigrants are coming from.

I live in gurgaon and making twice of what i was making 3 years ago.
Suddenly the dream and charm of Canada has faded. Our country is much better and only going to progress in the next decade. Upskill and be proud of your land. It will throw immense opportunities in the next decade.
After wasting 17 years of my life in Canada finally decided to move out ! Taking my family and leaving soon . I love canada 🇨🇦 but i cant make a decent comfortable living unfortunately 💔🇨🇦 . Came with nothing and leaving with debt , stress and more health issues

@@grewal2202 unless you have a very good job ( top pay ) kinda impossible here in canada ! Then you can afford to raise a family and maybe save some money . You need to bring home at least $80,000 a year ( net pay ) after tax to live above the poverty line
@@adamggz2635 very true. After covid 80k is needed just for survival. If we want to own a house specially in Toronto, we would have to make like 120k minimum. May be 20 to 25% of people make over 100k in Canada, rest live in poverty.
Despite getting a decent headstart in my career, I feel that Canada's Fool's paradise.
1. The cost of living is phenomenally high.
2. The work life balance doesn't exist. Corporate slavery does exist here.
3. Home sickness and ageing parents. I would feel guilty if I'm not with my parents at the time when they need me the most.
4. Compromise on life style because getting established takes forever and it is very, believe me, very, expensive country.
5. Healthcare- SCAM! Don't expect anything until you're literally dying/facing existential crisis.
6. COLD! I think cold is an understatement. 😭
Ultimately you get a good sleep when you rest your head on the pillow of your "home". Canada, to me, is like a 5 star hotel (metaphorically). You would enjoy the newness of Canada, but eventually, your heart and soul would always try hard to resist change.
Suggestion: - You don't want to live like a rat in a basement or in a pigeonhole for what? For claiming the world that you live in a so called developed country? Come on, let's be practical, if you've a decent job, happy life and no solid reason to immigrate, don't be a part of a life changing misadventure.
It depends, people who moved here few years back have become millionaires because of the housing bubble. They can easily move to US and buy house there or go back to India. Canada has helped people get rich. Skilled professionals can make over $125k per year. Times are different now. If you're earning less than $100k, cost of living can be challenging.
@@TheTruthAlways but most of the immigrant will obviously earn less than $100k , and it will be challenging for people !!! We have got PR but dnt want to shift 🥴as of now
Don't come back to India if you are looking for high standard of living if u don't like Canada then move to australia but never think of coming back to india
@@kedartrivedi2530 precisely brother. I make less than 100k, but definitely more than average. However, I think that the necessary commodity like a house/accessibility to real estate far outweighs my or anyone's income for that matter. Lack of supply is causing the disequilibrium leading to unimaginable spurt in real estate. Government does seem to be taking any potent steps to rescue the situation.
I'd rather suggest people looking for promising career and wholesome life to move to the US. Canada, to me, is a parallel-time-zone service center of the US. Exploit the opportunity by acquiring the citizenship and direct yourself to the US.
Overall, people making 20 lac or above in India should find a very very very very solid reason to immigrate. Something that's irreplaceable.
@@rbt5462 The value of what you lose can only be assessed when you put yourself in a vulnerable situation. Immigration is one such situation.
In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to Asia. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time, but the good news for you is that there are so many people saying these things now, that you won't get in any trouble.

My mom cried when we got here in the winter. I wish we moved to Australia. Now I have kids and grandchildren so that's why I live here. I'm still treated as an immigrant.
Same thing, only it was my mom. Actually wish I never left England a lot...but now I hear England is even worse now. At least you're not arrested for saying something online...yet!
Born and raised in Quebec. Son of European immigrants from the late 60’s. This country is not what it used to be, housing has gone trough the roof, wages are not increasing, healthcare is worthless, living paycheque by paycheque with hardly any savings
You guys act like that's just in Canada only. It's happening everywhere including the US, it's now 5 bucks for a single gallon of gas not only that but even the cheapest houses are expensive. By the way what are savings?
I have lived here in Canada my whole life. Never had enough money to travel anywhere else but I can agree even tho our health care is free with a health card its is not always very good. Sometimes it is great but the majority of time it is not. Many people I know have similar experiences. One time for me was a simple stomach ache and I sat in the emergency room for 5 hours then finally saw a doctor and they told me to go home and relax, I went to another hospital and they actually did test and found out I had an infection it was easily fixed with some medication. Also Northern Canada IS very cold I live 4 hours from Toronto and we get lows of -30 to -40C with wind chill which is hard when you have far to go to work with no vehicle. Rent is going up and affording a home is rough. As mentioned in the video having friends makes a huge difference its nice to have some support no matter what. Good video all around and nice to see people trying to help one another
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Lows of -30 to -40C with wind chill, and having to be outside, or walk to work in that cold, would be so painful.
I too have not traveled much, but if life gives an opportunity to experience life in a different country, through work or something, then will gladly take it up and try it out.
I live 4 hrs north of Toronto too. I’m honestly amazed you got seen in only 4 hrs and actually got a test/diagnosis, and in only 2 attempts! That’s actually pretty good. 🤦🏻♀️ yay

Health care is free in most of all European countries and far much better than Canada.
If you think you can succeed in Canada, why don’t you think you can succeed right in your home country where you can help neighbours and friends have job? You have friends, family, food, culture, life that you may find joy and happiness. Life is short! Once you start to realize it, it’s too late. Live within your mean. Think positively. Enjoy every moment you have with family.
Don’t listen to those that visit your home country after living abroad for a while. They never ever admit that they fail. They only boast how better life is compared to back home. If you can come to visit, please do that so that you can experience how you can manage to live in Canada. Don’t sell your house. Don’t borrow anyone money to come here ans think you will pay them back. Things are getting way more expensive than you can imagine. With almost 450,000 immigrants coming and more than 230,000 jobs losses in Canada, how do people find jobs? In addition to that the government keeps printing money from thin air to pay for unemployed people, social support, which eventually makes inflation sky-rocketed, not even mentioning possible taxes increase in the future adjust for government’s debt.
If you are poor, have nothing to loose, need a job, and are willing to work any leftover jobs, then come. If you are settled, or at least have your own home to be prosperous from it, then stay. If you come for your kids “better” future, then be ready for tremendous sacrifice, and hopefully you kids don’t put you in nursing home when you get old, which most likely it will be. Finally, if you are rich, stay back home to avoid taxes, have maid, nanny take care of family.

Thanks 🙏..Great words sir..
Exactly my thoughts 🙌
I’ve been here for 6 years and it’s been mostly negative with some positives in between. Everything you both said are so spot on, it’s not sustainable in terms of growing future wealth, or in terms of socializing with people or even mental health, rent, buying a home and so on and on. That said I will be leaving Canada in March 2023 and heading back to the Middle East. I don’t want to live out the rest of my life regretting the time I lost but Canada has been an eye opening experience for me. It’s just not worth it in the long run.

Will be moving away as soon as I complete my degree next year. Had enough of this country:
1. Soaring house markets. As a 23 years old, I dream of a moderate place maybe 1200 sq ft to live and settle in, with the current prices I see myself spending on useless rent for another 3 years.
2. Social life/things to do: Covid has become an obsession with Canadian politicians, life is no longer normal and it does noy seem to be going back to normal even in 2 years, never seen people more politically divided, the left is extreme and the right is extreme
3. Safety: never thought I will bring this up, but living here especially in the last 3 years, it feels at time that it is no longer safe, shootings 10 blocks away from my university, robberies, less security on campus.
4. Weather: I come from the middle east where it can get hot but you still feel productive and ready for work, here the winter is just miserable, most of the time weathers not predictable, almost 3 months of constant negative degrees and slippery roads and costs for winter tires.
5. Quality of life: honestly, for the amount of hard work you do in this country, it feels that you are just being bombarded by the government even more, tax here, tax there, bills here bills there. Going out is expensive, distances are long between places, not many entertainment places, you always have to dig in old neighborhood to find something. Service is horrible, waiting times on phone are enormous. Just overall, you dont feel like you are being treated and appreciated the way you should.
6. Culture: as a Canadian, I am proud but this does not seem to be the case with a lot of people. Some people are sometimes afraid to show their patriotism especially in big cities, what happened to pride?
7. Leadership: this ones just the main reason for all of the above, look at places like Dubai where leaders always have mega projects, visions for the city, attractions to visitors and tourism, resources utilization despite being in the midst of desert. You dont see this here, politicians have ruined this country with never ending rhetoric, false promises, and low investments in its own citizens.
As a Canadian born citizen who spent 10 years abroad, I completely agree with all your points! Good video

I've lived here all my life and I vouch that these folks are giving very good, practical advice. To those who move here willingly, please do your homework as this couple so aptly point out. For those fleeing dire circumstances or not really having much choice, please try to be aware as much as you can about the specific location you are moving to or being settled temporarily in. Thanks.
I was born here, and I have a lot of immigrant friends, most of which say they felt they were "baited and switched" into moving here. I don't blame them. I have a household income of $120,000 and we struggle to make ends meet while trying to save for a home (which is just... Not happening). Plus, I have longstanding chronic health issues for which I barely get care due to the state of healthcare in my city and the lack of available resources. It's sad to say, I pay +30% in taxes and don't see the benefit.
WOW ...and intelligent comment ....finally. YES ....do your own homework!!! Do NOT rely on others to do the homework and figure out what you need to do to succeed.

For you to claim that this issue is personal and not systemic is ignoring even the Government's most recent statements regarding the state of our system, availability of resources (particularly labor), and the cost of operations. This is not to say we have the worst healthcare, the point is that it is not the best and shouldn't be touted as such.
Me i want to work in Canada just to earn and spend it here in Philippines for future.
In summer 2015 we decided to move permanently to Calgary, Alberta. Me my wife and 1 girl coming from Venezuela 🇻🇪. The first 3 years were kind of nice since we were full of hope and I was full of dreams and desire to prosper. Lot's of help from social programs, also our second girl was born here. I consider myself a hard working/positive person that even when I grew up poor, I work hard for 10 years back home white collar to be able to save and give my family a "better future".
Fast forward to today after almost 8 years...I've done 11 DIFFERENT JOBS in Canada. Anything from pizza delivery to construction, to cleaning, to office admin work, selling cars, etc etc etc...anything you can imagine I've done it. Since my goal is to be independent and don't have a "job", the amount of frustration I've suffered is indescribable. In all these years we have ZERO savings even when we are extremely frugal. We have had ONE family vacation in Mexico and we spent 2 years paying that debt. We are not able to bring family because of high cost and if we will, they will be depressed after one winter here. Locked for 8 months like most people live here.
We have to go to food bank many many times because we are just too poor to keep up. We decided this year that enough is enough, is just not worth it in the long term. We are moving back home. I refuse to get more in debt to keep studying to get a "job" or open a business with extremely high chances of failing. I know even if we make $120,000/year, you will never be ahead because of taxes and super high cost of living. We are going back to Venezuela, start a little business. If we still living here, my depression will get out of control and I don't know how that will end.
MY ADVICE TO future Canadian immigrants: If you are white collar, get ready for the ride of your life, it will be VERY HARD. If you are blue collar, young, strong, oriented to machines and that kind of jobs, and you have NOTHING back home, your future will probably be better here. Canada needs people who build their capitalist vision in the FROZEN winter, not people seating in offices under heated condition, those jobs are mainly reserved for the born here.
Canada has positive things for those who are running from war, real death threats. For middle class folks like me, your quality of life will be significantly WORST. People get in debt here to cope with cost of life, they work to pay lines of credits, credit cards, mortgages, car payments etc. It's the typical debt slavery rat race trap. I feel lucky that I can actually run, most people here are traped in debt and could never scape this frozen nightmare.
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm the first-born son of an immigrant, and I hate it here. I sincerely hope your depression and mental health improves, all the best to you and your family.
@@NeoAndersonChannel1 thank you! Appreciate your words 🙌🏻
That's an honest opinion about Canada from someone who experienced everything that this country can offer to a middle-class immigrant
Most of what you said here is felt by people born and raised in Canada. I had to leave BC's lower mainland because I knew I would never own a home, let alone ever make enough with dual incomes to raise a singular child.
The houses my parents had the options to buy at $30,000 in the 1980's, (on one minimum wage income) are now worth half a million at a minimum.
@@JeffSlapper I agree. Many Canadians friends born and raised share what you say. I wish to you and your family all the best 🙏
Having studied in Canada and stayed there for about 2 years, I had decided not to settle there for good. That's why I love Dubai as it's closer to India and offer far better lifestyle than Canada.
Is income tax-free in Dubai? Canada is too cold for me.
@@paengguin9381 No income tax in Dubai at all. And VAT free also on essential items.
@@devildhaliwal Nice.
Does Dubai Gives a Desi Vibe? I mean I know some dudes who are in Dubai and have been in Dubai. They say that Dubai does not feel like a foreign land like Europe or America because of so many Indians so they feel less isolated and closely related to India.
@@josephstalin9604 Well it depends on which area you are living and your work place. Same as in Canada, if you are staying in surrey or Brampton, you don't feel like living away from India.
I moved my entire family out of Canada to Europe last October after 33 years in the country. Canada is not the once great nation that it was. It is trending in the wrong direction to put it lightly. Make no mistake Canada is a beautiful country and I miss my home but I am having a very hard time envisioning a future for my children in Canada and that was a huge part of why we left. To put things into perspective I am an experienced engineer and my wife is a senior executive in finance (accounting professional) and with our relatively high family income we honestly did not have very much left over. Canada taxes and cost of living are outrageously high. Real estate is insanely overpriced. Government allows monopolies like Bell/Rogers(internet/phone) to gouge citizens. Property taxes are sky high and local governments are inept. There is no investment into families and infrastructure and the health care system is crumbling. On top of this the politics is extremely toxic and the current federal government is as bad as it gets. There is a reason why Canada is appealing for immigrants; they want you to come here so you can become tax slaves so that incompetent governments can line their own pockets. Canada used to be a country that enabled the average person to get ahead but those days are sadly over. I really hope things turn around one day but it's not looking good. On a final positive note Canada is pretty welcoming and safe to all despite the current government's obsessed focus on supposed systemic racism issues.
Very keen to know what you mean by “supposed systemic racism issues”. Please elaborate.
The governments play to conquer by dividing groups to suit their agenda.
How much is enough! Not sure what you will find more satisfying in Europe. I was born in Europe and lived in 3 different countries. Married and raised my children in Canada in a comfortable lifestyle. Since retirement I live 6 month of the year on different continents in different countries for 20 years. My interest is People, cultures, nationalities and lifestyles! Wherever you go in the world it is the same, same, only different. I hope you find what you are looking for! Real home is within yourself!.
I definitely gotta move, Canada sucks now
You nailed it bro!
A few other causes of frustration:
1. You should also mention low wages (compounded with high taxes/cost of living) as a reason. Well paying jobs do not offer as much pay as even in India.
2. Highly regulated (License-Raj type) streams of most types of work (excluding IT so far at least)
3. Lack of availability/variety of goods to purchase. Can't blame the seller, the market itself is tiny - not a consumers' market
4. Lack of infrastructure/road-network/connectivity even within a province. Very high cost of travel/vehicle ownership
5. Very expensive to eat out (not to mention small serving portions not enough even for 1 person)
6. You already mentioned soaring Real-Estate prices, but I personally find the houses here are built very ugly. Or ugly enough to not do justice to the cost, and not much sense of space - tightly built together. For a price similar to that of a so called "detached" house here you could buy a sprawling bungalow in US on a much much larger lot. Lot sizes here are too small in general.
7. Not much to do throughout the year - not enough places to go
8. Dicey future of Canada's economy
9. Lower standard of education compared to what India/US/Europe can offer (Our kids have studied in 3 countries - so we know)
10. Super Dull life/community outside of Downtowns of big cities. Climate is cold - so are people here
Overall Canada just benefits from being US's white neighbor and living in its shadows - while Canadians make themselves believe they don't like US.
Honestly - Canada is a great country and may have a lot to offer to Canadians. It's just not for ambitious immigrants - the only reason they want you here is to earn taxes from you so you can pay for their retired (who are not too welcoming of immigrants anyway) - simple. Don't get fooled by the marketing...
My US colleagues (whites) call ts a lame country with no vision - now I can see why :P
The amount of struggle to just survive here under the pretext of being able to do well is just not worth it - in the end, i see most immigrants here are NOT doing so well, they think they are :)
The last point about awful people is the biggest reason. Toxic.
I think you are being a bit harsh comparing India to Canada but indeed you spoke truth. Outside of the major cites in each province it is just all logs and lakes everywhere. Dull life style compare to what India has to offer.
All the best for you
Me and all my friends leave Australia .
No full time work only part time jobs like uber
Rent cost $2800 a month for old house
thanks for wisdom, eye opener
You also forgot these 2 more reasons:
1. The Canadian Citizenship acts like the US Citizenship which *if you work overseas from Canada, you are still taxed from Canada* just like Americans who work outside of USA still has the US government tax their income
2. *Racism and cultural and employment discriminations do exist in Canada* even though many may say that Canada is a multi-cultural country
Taxes are huge. If you factor in CPP, EI, and Sale Tax, and you reach a certain tax bracket, it’s half of whatever you make. For example, if you make $19/hr, you bring home $15 for every hour you work. If you make $35-$40/hr, unfortunately you reach a high tax bracket and you roughly bring home $20 for every hour you work. Ironically, this seems like a punishment for your hard work, your time dedicated for training to get better skill. Once you have higher income, you are not qualified for any social support, especially child care. The only “good” for higher income is you are easily qualified for debts, such as mortgages, car loans, line of credit. Once you in debt, you are trapped to work to maintain the house, car, or stuff you think you have, but actually the bank owns them. Once you have a house or property, you pay property tax which average Canadian pay about $4000 per year.
Once you are in Canada, either you are poor or rich. There is no middle class because they are taxed into poor. If you have any emergencies come up, you either sell your house back to the bank in the way of refinancing, or get more debt. Do people actually own anything in Canada? No, even you own your house but in the paper you are tenants of the Queen. If you decide to give the house to your child when you pass away, your child pay inheritance tax. Once you are in Canada, you own nothing and you try to be happy.
True & Very well said. Thank you for the insight.
If you could live anywhere else, where you would you move to?
@@rsrs6959 back home where my beloved family, friends, friendly neighbours, and rich culture are. At least I can visit my mom and dad whenever I want. Honestly, if I stay here, the number of time that I am able to visit them can only be counted on the tip if my fingers. Stay back home, live within your mean, think positively, be successful and prosperous there if you think you can be successful somewhere else, help your neighbours and friends. Anywhere on Earth life means suffering so you can value any happy moments, then why don’t you choose where you can find happiness easily?
@@crocodiles122 True. It is so wonderful to speak with you and learn from. You are a blessing. Your statement that, "Anywhere on Earth life means suffering", is so profound. You are absolutely right that better to choose where we can find happiness easily.
Some people after coming to Canada are afraid to go back home because they worry about what people will think of them, and that they will be seen as failure. I tell them that, -You are not a failure, the fact that you went to a different country, learnt the reality of life there, spoke honestly about it, and were courageous enough to do all this, shows that you are a success. I say that if you can do that then you can also go back home again. I tell them, -Don't let what other people will think of you stop you from living a true fulfilling life that brings you joy and happiness-life that is true to you. *We don't know how much time we have and what tomorrow brings* so *don't wait too long to go back home to be by your parents side, to love, care and serve them* *I pray that you reach your home land soon-your happy place*
Keep working on it and I am sure in some time we will be watching a video by you where you share how you left Canada and settled back home.
That video will help and inspire people who are on the same boat as you currently.

Very true. This is my 15th year in Canada and my 23rd winter ( Lived in Wisconsin for 8 years). The first winter was fun, but it gets harder. I am moving (back) to USA due to the cold. Many I know move to UAE or USA. Canada is great country tough.

I mean do you man. Kinda funny you went to florida where 90% of canadians retire.....but aight. Lol. Canada gave you a platform and a stable foundation to make your life what you wanted it to be. Much like this atrocious ungrateful incredibly obnoxious video we wish you the best. The real thing is when you a shitty "graphic designer" or whatever they were you aint gonna make it wherever you got competition. If the weather is your problem you knew that from the start before you got here....like i just dont get this mindset. Its rather disgusting. I love my country and everyone from wherever theyre from but once you whine and bitch......in simple terms....be gone. Wish you the best 😂
My sister moved there. She died. Very poor medical.
Fascinating! As someone born and raised in Canada, I find this surprising. But tbh, Trudeau seems like a corporate lap dog so I can't blame you. He's helping turn Canada into a 3rd world country.
With my experience of living outside my country (India) for nearly 12 Years as a Professor I can say that for living India is the best country. I have reasons to say so:
1. Most of the things is available at door step, whether groceries, vegetables or postal service.
2. Experience all type of weather.
3. House helps are easily available.
4. Diverse choices of food at affordable prices.
5. All types of Medical Service is available anytime, that too, at affordable price.
6. One is near to his/her family support.
++++++++
So, in my opinion if a professional's family is able to save INR10 Lakhs (1 Million) Plus Per Year in India, then India is the best place to live and work.
As a Muslim i can say India is a Bad country specially for Muslims because of BJP and other Indian Government involvements. Sikh And Christians also face many problems…YES maybe if you’re a Hindu you can live a better life but still Canada is FAAAAAAAAAAAAR better than INDIA..

For muslims all opportunities are same as others but they're not interested in their progress. Not only in India but even in UK and USA Hindus are most successful and Muslims least. So don't blame India but your community.

My family and I came as landed immigrants in 1999/2000 when services for immigrants weren't that developed as the way they are now. Our first four years living as immigrants were pure TORTURE at least for me as a 17/18 year old. . I remember feeling this sense of isolation and depression I never experienced before. The empty streets and my parents also never helped. Nobody talks about the ---- depression ---- immigrants experience. Also, my mom, an engineer, until this day was only able to work in her field briefly in Canada, but the majority of her experience is in the United States. Yes, we need to acknowledge the Canadian brain drainage to the US too. Anyhow, the vast majority of the wealth that my family built is mostly from our work experience ABROAD. I ended up paying back my OSAP while living in Dubai. I had the BEST YEARS of my life in Dubai. My parents now live in a mortgage free home, however, my parents didn't choose a fancy home to start with. My parents are excellent example of being frugal, only now my mom occasionally buys Tim Hortons coffee. Having said that, is immigration worth it? I would say 'Yes' given that we come from a war-torn country Iraq. My family escaped a dictatorial regime in 1994/5. I would say, if you come from a failed state with no prospects to grow in your home country, then come here, you have a future but you've gotta work REALLY HARD. But if you do have a great foundation at home, and have the potential to grow there, and come from a country that's not entirely corrupted, then no.
Everybody who lives in Canada works for what they have. Thats the way it is here.
I would like to live in Iraq where I could put my education to use. But I can not afford food, never mind moving to big oppertunity. Canada sucks big time ever since about 1997 and todays Liberials are a death blow.
Yoo im Iraqi too and my DREAM is to go to Canada 🇨🇦
I am fluent in English and I have decided to study French as well since it is commonly used in Canada, I've also Downloaded the " Discover Canada study guide " To read it during my spare time so that i'm ready for the test whenever i get to apply for a citizenship.

My couple moved to Canada three years ago in express entry and we watched your videos a lot. As we lived in UK and USA before, we started comparing our lives
in those countries and here and found Canada is not a developed country. Life is hard here. Everything expensive , all our earnings go to rent despite now earning nearly 100,000 +. No savings 😭
And most importantly, we couldn't find jobs in our domain and we survived the first year with my wife working at Tim Hortons and me as Uber driver. Finally third year we are working office jobs but again hefty taxes, no savings and while we both have masters degrees, our supervisors are like guys with Diplomas, incompetents and cheap mindsets who feel insecure about their jobs all the time. We are feeling like is Canadian life worth it ? And this is despite earning 100,000 plus trust me life is very depressing here.
Thats the nasty truth. I can understand it.
I totally get you. I moved to Asia and my savings after taxes is equal to six years worth of savings in Canada. It's the high taxes that eats up most of your income.
But why someone would move out from countries like USA & UK ? And that too for living a hectic life in Canada? What the hell?

Since the pandemic, compassion and kindness which was scarce are non-existent now and health care is better anywhere else in the world. Consider medical tourist hubs...India, Thailand, for good health care. Canada is NOT the place to move to not if you want to feel like you belong to a human family...there is no warmth of human kindness in that very cold frozen country. People are cold, hardened and miserable. Have I mentioned expensive?
How can anyone afford to live there...but good luck if you are going there...you will need it. If you skin colour is not white be prepared to be treated accordingly.

One of the down things is health care,- to see doctor is impossible.

How if you have a better medical insurance? Does it make diffrences to see a doctor immediately or not?
I am also a canadian born citizen and I spent 20 years abroad. when I came back to Canada, they made me feel like a foreigner in my own country, especially as I had lost my quebecer accent.

Hi guys, nice video as always! Personally, I have friends who left Canada for good because they preferred to go back to their old lifestyles - the truth is that life in Canada also feels quite superficial to me and it's crazy expensive!!! But if you're working hard to save money to visit back home as much as you can, it could be good to stop and be honest with yourself about your future.
On a different note, if you're working hard and doing everything you're supposed to do and yet you're not on the path you expected, please don't feel like a failure. Sometimes it does not depend only on you - call it luck, destiny or God, there might be a better path leading elsewhere!

There is an element of unrealistic expectation in the views expressed by newly arrived immigrants especially those whose background is very different to that of the average Canadian: the nuclear family even the one parent family is the norm in Canada whereas many immigrants are used to the extended family with its wide support system but lack of privacy and autonomy. This is a crucial difference and is the way Western society has developed for good or ill. The freedom of choice enjoyed by smaller family groups is regarded as valuable and the loneliness and isolation of that way of life something that must be accepted as part of the bargain. Immigrants from an extended family culture cannot expect to recreate the situation as it existed in their home countries and must adapt to the unfamiliar loneliness . Why did they emigrate in the first place? To earn more of course, to improve their standard of living but also to escape the sometimes stifling atmosphere of the extended family network. Only when immigrants outnumber Canadians could this perhaps change.
Exactly this! We moved out of India more to be free of the societal pressure than money. Even though money was a factor the autonomy the western lifestyle brings is more valuable to me than anything in life. It's all about priorities. Videos like these can help people see what's at stake and take and informed decision.

Calgary is not the sunniest city. MEDICINE HAT ALBERTA IS. It also gets hotter (further south) and has a wonderful lake
You are right. But Indians move out because of pressure and injustice within the country. But it also takes a very cold heart to leave parents who are also old and rarely visit them once every two years. Just imagine yourself leaving your parents and going and living in a far away country. I am in IT, and I am earning on the high end. I can come to Canada and try to fulfill my wishes. I do wish for privacy. But the thought of leaving my parents when they are 53 and me being selfish for my own sake is more than Disgusting.

I feel that Canada not only does not have enough jobs, Canadians employers do not trust outsiders / immigrants with their varied and rich experience for local jobs. Canadian companies would have gained a lot from the varied experience of immigrants, (my opinion entirely). To summarise Canadian immigration system is broadly faulty
Canadians don’t trust Indians because of how Indians behave nothing else. People like these vloggers show an unrealistic image of the country to make money from TH-cam while setting up false expectations of others who come here. Indian TH-camrs are at fault here completely.

It was to see that finally someone in canada is talking about people moving out of canada....globally there is only one perspective... everyone moves to canada....whats a difficulty here is when even the healthcare system is slow for children and is damn expensive as some services are not covered ...example children with high tendencies of dental concerns would need dental help for a prolonged period of time...and it becomes a challenge to have it covered under a limited cap by the insurance companies.
Second of all children with special needs or diagnosis of any developmental delay takes very long...from what i know even diagnosis that need the child to perform some physical activities are being conducted online....which is chargeable....this has been disappointing us terribly here.
@@Shaylas My friend who is considered low income have child who need some special dental work done but is not covered by healthy smiles. The poor child will probably grow up toothless. We tried everything and kept calling the Ontario Government for financial coverage. I had premium dental insurance and normal dental insurance before and there is always a capped amount unless you are super high up in a corporation. Our dental system is brutal and I know when I travel elsewhere, I will get all my work done overseas for cheap and even better technology.
@@Shaylas That's so true. I will keep that in mind. Thank you.
I'm a canadian in my fifties and Canada has the worst dental coverage of any G8 country. I volunteer at a food bank and the number of people coming through who are toothless is staggering.
These things USED to be much better in Canada. The govermnment used to pay for yearly eye exams, not anymore. The federal government used to pay more into housing and education, not anymore. Most of these issues are getting WORSE in Canada as they are getting better in many states.
@@mikearchibald744 Absolutely true. What you are describing is 100% accurate. Most people in my age cohort is feeling the same.
@@Shaylas thanks shaila for giving your feedback on my experience with dental expenses
...however i will definitely go back to my son's pedodontist and ask him if he can consider the prolonged dental help part
...from the insurance company we are tied up with the dental centre doesn't seem to be negotiating what is priority treatment....and i am completely on the same page with u about dental facilities in govt hospitals in India is way below expectations and i did spend a lot for my son there
...but the packages here with tax slab aren't the same and m sure everyone navigates their finances tightly especially wen one is new.... It will be great if u share ur dental centre details and i can contact
Happy that I am not the only person that is starting to wonder about what the future holds in Canada. Between overpriced eduction, extremely poor healthcare ( for a well developed country) and now poor politics, I am debating going back to Western Europe after 25 years.
Nothing wrong with the healthcare in Canada. It is a 100% UNIONIZED workforce ....as are ALL public sectors across Canada in the federal, provincial, and civic levels. UNIONS in the public sectors represent 25% of the entire working people in Canada. ONE IN FOUR WORKERS WORK IN THE UNIONIZED PUBLIC SECTOR. EVERY ONE OF THEM GETS PAID WELL, HAVE EXCELLENT BENEFITS, HAVE A TOP LEVEL PENSION PLAN, HAVE TOP LEVEL PENSION BENEFITS. Every minute they work any OVERTIME, ....they get paid. Every time a UNION COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT EXPIRES .....EVERY ONE OF THESE WORKERS WANTS MORE THAN THE LAST COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT.
Just to use ONE example ....ordinary teachers in British Columbia are paid $100,000 annually ...for working NINE MONTHS OF THE YEAR. Their contract is up this year and they are already complaining their wages are NOT keeping up with "inflation" ....which is high this ONE year. They will get a huge raise to address this high inflation, and they will KEEP this huge raise even if/when inflation drops back down for the next TEN YEARS. Also, this raise will be based on PERCENTAGE OF ALREADY HIGH WAGES .....TRANSLATING TO BIG REAL DOLLARS. When they get this "NEW COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT" ......CANADIAN TAXES WILL GO UP FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
Is it expensive to live in Canada? YOU BET IT IS .......THANKS TO ONE ASPECT OF THE CANADIAN SYSTEM ......THE UNIONIZED PUBLIC SECTOR.

@@taxicamel if that wasn’t enough to see were Canada is heading after this plandemic joke - you are doomed
Its the taxes! Seriously..
Totally agree
I have been here 41 years from Holland, and Canada is no longer what it used to be when I first came here. I am living in EXTREME poverty now and can’t get my bills paid. The politics is a farce, biggest liars and puppets around. I have tried to get retraining to get out of this desperate pit, but the government doesn’t help with that ar all. Poor, people who are afraid are much easier to control. And big bucks are being made on the poor.
Healthcare is pathetic, if you have chronic conditions it’s horrific now. My son left to live in Lithuania and was able to build up a business there, which they wouldn’t have been able to do here, because all costs and all restrictions would have made that impossible. He loves Lithuania, he walks everywhere eats good.
The cost of food is utterly ridiculous. Fresh produce is soo expensive, even more expensive then all meat and diary people can’t afford to eat a healthy diet. So they burn out, get sick, go on welfare, and then IF they are lucky they might be able to rent a little room in a house that they don’t own in their retirement. If you don’t have family who helps you, you are f$&/-d! Thanks Canada, for absolutely nothing! If they would help people get back on their feet again, they could build themselves up again, but the idiots aren’t interested in that!
My friend also moved to USA n got job easily there as he want in hotel

Yes brother. *PLEASE* share this info with Indians in India, so that they are not misled by the fake sugar coated social media posts and pics about life in Canada, and they don't waste their precious time, money and life by moving to Canada, in search of a better life. Not only that, but the racist Caucasians, (ofcorse not all but there is racism) also tell them "Go back to your fudging country" they look open them with with anger and say that jobs are being taken up by immigrants and along the same line will also say that immigrants milk the system that they use the social system (Once again, not coloring all Canadians and Caucasians with the same colour, ofcorse not all, but there is racism ).
Tim Hortons wants to expand and operate in India, but we all know how unhealthy the food is, and how bad it is for the health. India already has obesity and diabetes problem, and also instead of promoting Timz, India should promote it's own citizens business effort, it's own start ups, and the entrepreneurs and talent of the country, and be as healthy conscious and self sufficient as possible. India should focus on being self dependent because as we know one of the economic lessons we learnt from COVID (supply chain and import problems) is that countries need to be self-dependent.
So why not they live in India where they actually already have a good life, have good social life and support, and try to help India (the mother land).
Canada's immigration system has been easier then other countries, because they need immigrants to sustain the country. Canada has land but not enough population to support and sustain. The aging baby boomers need help, to be taken care of, and the country needs younger human resource and the capital/money they bring.
So, India thinks that Canada is doing favor to Indians by letting them immigrate, but it is actually the other way around.
Indians are doing Canada a favor by coming to the country, starting small business, hiring employees, purchasing cars and real estate, paying property taxes, and boosting the economy.
PLEASE spread the awareness to your friends, relatives, and people of India in India, so Indians don't come to Canada and become frustrated and deeply depressed.
You're not an Indian. You're a troll.

moving back next year
Thanks for putting this up so well. I have been living in Canada for 3 years now and I would potentially leave Canada once I have Citizenship and get a job offer in a warmer place in the US.
Also, my wife and I have had to travel back home for dental surgery. The surgery was so costly and it would take so long to be done that it was cheaper to buy airplane tickets and go back to Brazil to do it.
In regard to the USA, people often compare health care, saying how expensive it is, but at least you have the option to go and pay for it. Here, if you have an emergency you sit and cry, the emergency takes hours and, unfortunately, the government totally neglects the problem and every day gets worse.
I have to be honest. I HATE people like you. You use my country as a bolt hole when things get tough. This is why I think Canada should be barring duo citizenship.
But the crime is much worse in the U.S and dental treatments are ridiculously expensive in U.S too.
@@lululemonbar9110 crime is only happening in Blk neighborhoods…u heard about Chicago but, it’s only happening in few neighborhoods and,they’re predominantly blks neighborhoods…I’m from Maryland & almost no crime wher I’m at but,there’s a crime in DC,Baltimore areas ….the US too big …it’s hard to believe it until u travel here …
As someone born here, thank you. This is important for Canadians to hear this as well. ❤️
Thank you for making this video, i think you didn't motivated me but showed the actual picture, really great
Alright lets make this clear, I was born in India raised up half of life in Canada surprisingly at two cities in Ontario. My parents came here as immigrant and they were stuck with survival job at first 3 years in this country, at that time we were living in Toronto and afterwards we moved to London ON where we brought our first house and build another one while keeping the old house. Since I know the situations in India, I would say it aint worth this life to get a good life in Canada. Before I turn 25, I would be fully planning to move to Southern US states as life is cheaper (cheaper house, better job stability, cheap gas/grocery.. or everything in general) and affordable (less tax less than 30%)there. Single life and brining a new live is much better in US and shit getting worse in Canada each day. In order to have a good life in Canada, you need a good stable house (a modern house in any cities in Ontario is 800k, higher in Toronto), getting a house loan aka mortgage for such needed a high paying job (100k per year) if you want to have kids in Canada and follow Indian culture, Canada is your not to place (political situations in Canada aint lookin promising). Limited freedom and more govt involvement is driving the economy to worse than ever. The country will keep brining immigrants from worldwide, putting them in survival work and making them contribute to all factory work. Nothing to say about climate (climate has always been worse in Canada, especially winter that are longer in some years).Yes, Canada was great during my elementary year everything was cheap, youngsters were happy and motivate to building something here. After 2016, everything started to fall apart, the gap for any immigrant to reach the CANADIAN DREAM is bigger than ever. So if you are planning to come to Canada, you would able to learn life (things can get challenging), trust me if you didn't make any progress in your life situation for the first 4 years in the country, your life ain't gonna get better, your situation gonna be the same for the next 25 years.
Thats great insight..

can you pay more to get privately insured to get faster services ?
Thank you for sharing that real life experience.
I shared my opinion, in a comment above (starts with "Thank you. I really appreciate you showing both sides of the coin..."), where I said that I feel that for people who own their own residence, are well-to-do, and living a nice comfortable life in India, for them it does not make sense to leave that good life and come struggle in Canada, and someone, "lucky dhiman", commented saying that I am being negative, for the reasons I listed (one of the reasons being slow poor quality health care) why it does not make sense. I wish he would read your real life experience and learn the truth. People sometimes think we are being negative and discouraging when we are being honest. Experience is definitely the best teacher, it is a tough teacher, but the most convincing teacher.
I hope your baby has recuperated, and you can always pay for private insurance for your family, and get private treatment in Canada or america,
true
@@zoeyanaqvi-zn7482 this is 100% not true, the healthcare system in Canada is respected worldwide! The problem is Indians who abuse the healthcare system who don't take preventive care. Indians flood the emergency room with non-emergencies. This is not how healthcare works in a modern world. Look at these messages saying that somebody came into the emergency room for stitches, waited 5 hours and they're bleeding stopped and they went home. So they didn't need stitches that's why they were waiting

Super profesional video, keep up the great job guys!
Not only immigrants leave Canada. Those who were born in Canada, like me, leave as well. I left in 2006 due to one of the reasons you mentioned: health care. I simply wanted to get access to private health care coverage, something that is banned in Canada (along with North Korea and Cuba, so Canada is in good company there!), so that I have full control over what I want done health-wise to my body, not some govt authority trying to cut corners. And, at the time I was still in my 30s so I was young enough to get it so that I could build up a track record so my monthly premiums don't rise. I ended moving to a Latin American country, which most Canadians would still consider the 3rd world. But it's a helluva lot better than paying 53% taxes to the Canadian system that barely functions. And now that we see that the Canadian govt can seize all your assets just because they don't agree with what you are saying ... well, that's scary. I'm glad I live in this so-called "3rd world" country and not in Canada anymore.
Lived for 5 yrs in Canada, masters + working. Did not take PR & moved back to India in 1995. Took decision to come back before we had kids. Never regretted the decision. Funnily enough my father in law was offered PR in early 70s and he had refused it! While leaving a friend said, you are taking a decision we want to take but cannot take. Did not want to be known as visible minority plus could never trade in my Indian citizenship, no divided loyalties (at least for me).
Absolutely the right decision you made. If I knew this perspective I would’ve never moved here. The amount of money I’ve spent to come here I could’ve spent it in investing in something good, maybe a small business and could’ve lived a satisfied with my parents, friends and most importantly my own soil. Sorry to say I’ve seen people abusing India and everything about India after coming here, it boils my blood. I mean how ungrateful you can be. If that’s how they feel India is they can fuckin leave completely, isn’t it.?
@@Ashhhh688 even I came back to India after seeing Canada.

We came back home from UK after 9 years there. Absolutely love it here. One advice for those who come back is to make sure you are financially sound. That decides whether India is heavenly or a nightmare.
@@kashifaziz5272 thing is you, you're doing the average Canadian a favour by leaving.
Regarding coming to Canada and not finding a job in your profession. I cannot understand why people emigrate to Canada when the need for the profession is oversaturated or non existent. If three thousand local people graduate annually and there are nine hundred positions created annually, I am stumped why you wouldn't know this and attempt to move to Canada knowing there are no available jobs.
If there are available jobs and your profession is oversaturated, the pay won't be as high as what it could have been. Supply and demand. Too much supply and not enough demand. If the industry becomes regulated, people will get more money, they will eliminate jobs to pay the people more money and it will become impossible to get a job unless someone dies.
If your job isn't about essential services, public services or the growth of Canada, there are no jobs. Canada needs to get back to developing products and our government has been selling houses and education for income instead of developing the economic growth with a sustainable business plan.
I was born here. I chose to stay away from oversaturated education paths. I don't buy into the "I need one of everything" mentality (I see a whole bunch of people driving new cars and shopping and eating out and I have a way better job and way more investments and most importantly, self control). I do not engage in social media and I am disgusted by people taking real or fake selfies of them having a good time and then sending the pics to their friends and family, near or abroad. You people are part of the reason that people come to Canada unprepared. You don't just show up get a job, a new house , a car, go shopping and eat out all the time. Your friends and family are in debt and lying to you with every smiling photo they send. Yesterday I watched a immigrant Canadian family stage photos in front of the house they live in. They made sure their kids were dressed up and that every photo contained their car and the kids toys and a bunch of fake smiles. I actually thought they were going somewhere until they went back in the house. Fake.
Can it be good? Sure, but you are going to have to work for it. Spend only 80% of what you make and invest the rest. Don't buy new cars. Don't eat out all the time. Don't order in food al the time either. Don't fall into the fast fashion trap (all the name brand luxury stuff available in discount malls is crap. A real Gucci purse would be $6k not $400, a real Hugo Boss suit is $12-$15k, not $2k) If there is an extra work opportunity, take it and bank the extra money. Don't take vacations all the time. I've made $5k in a day by working a Saturday and I saved it all.
If you did the above, in time you will have secondary income from investments and be able to weather economic uncertainty. If the economy is good, you can still save, invest and treat yourself because you have cash flow. If you don't understand money or the economy, you will become an economic slave. Monthly payments on education loans, housing, car payments, credit card balances etc and it will feel like a noose around your neck. A lot of people do this and blame Canada, but you need to accept responsibility for expecting the country to take care of you for no reason.
Do your homework. Your friend's photos and lives are fake. The more you know the more complicated life is and the more mental stress you are under, so maybe Canada isn't the place for you if you want the simple life.
I just recently moved to Canada and also have opened my youtube channel and I agree with the things you pointed. First yes, competition on the job market here is extremely high also it is extremely cold and windy! I am from Eastern Europe and I thought that I know what cold does mean but not, Canada is a way more colder 😅
Interesting that even i saw on youtube clip where this retired old man who were a native canadian were also prefer drier and less colder area and he picked Arizona. And already in process of immigration

Yeah, cold is problem in Canada and I am not talking about weather. Many people leaving because of it.
As a Canadian born and raised now living abroad, I'll tell you the number one reason not to come to Canada: it's most likely will fall within 10 years. Taxes will go sky high because of every stupid decision the government did with the covid free money scam. In my former province, most businesses were struggling to find workers as people would rather stay at home collecting their checks.
I'll say this to potential immigrants, Canada used to be a nice place but that's was before 2000-2010. You are getting sold a lie. Now the #1 concern of the government is which pronouns you want to be refer to. If this insanity is appealing, have at it but I'm never going back. They'll have to get me deported from where I live!
If you don't mind sharing, where do you live now?
you're right. they just printed money and giving to everybody. soon time is coming we will have to pay for that. already prices are rising. there will be high inflation, high taxes, your money in the bank is worth nothing. house prices will fall and god know how things will turn out.
What is the possibility to move to bigger job market: USA?

Calgary is also sunniest ☀️ city in canada 🇨🇦 with lots of festivals like calgary Stempede- The greatest outdoor show on earth 🌎 close to world’s best national parks and towns like Banff, Lake Louise, Canmore, Kananaskis, Drum heller, Jasper. Best quality of life with work life balance.
I would like to know more please. Where can I send you a message please ?
I live in Switzerland , which may or may not be regarded as a wintery country (though the climate in the lower regions is formally oceanic, like Vancouver climate). If its drops to -5C I am ready to riot and if it's -10C it's a winter I still remember bitterly years later. I was stunned when you started talking about those -25C temps, but it was expected, and I was left speechless when you said even -40C temps are possible in some very inhabited places. I didn't know this, and I am a geography nerd.
I couldn't live somewhere that essentially deletes most of the year from your life, outside a building.
I’m a adult child of immigrants to Canada and I would give anything to not have been born here. If you are thinking of moving to Canada, think extremely carefully about the negatives of being Canadian; there are many!… and more every day. This country is no longer the Canada of decades ago. Today there are many better countries that offer better quality of life, more freedoms, lower taxes, and health care. I wish every day my parents had not immigrated here.
Which country would you suggest?
Try South America.
One where you have freedom to leave, have freedom to choose your own health care treatment where procedures are not limited to what the government covers and nothing else, diagnostic tests included, one where I can own my land and not rent it from a monarch, one where my income tax rate is not over 50%, one where I am free to make choices. Canada is not a free country. Don’t get me wrong, I am well aware that it is not the worst, but as for basic personal freedoms of what you can and can’t do with your body, do with your money, your freedom of movement and travel it is so far from free it doesn’t even qualify. Even the country my parents left to move here was more free (not at the time, but it is now). I don’t care how much money one can make in a given country (side note; if that’s what you’re after Canada is not where you want to live), personally I care about freedom (of civilized choice) for myself, my family, and my fellow countrymen.
@@manuellorenzo7042 thanks
@@MaioFourpaws thanks for the well put answer. It’s really sad to know such conditions exist today.
If you are a visible minority, you may feel uncomfortable because people could treat you differently from your home country. Some older immigrants may not speak English or French well and have difficulty adapting. In some suburban towns, you need a car just to go shopping instead of walking to the store.
LOL "visible minority"
You have any idea the demographics of major metro areas in Canada?
What part of India has cities that are 65% white people??
The amount victim mentality from Indian people is insane
@@cameronbell415 I was bullied in elementary school by European immigrant students because I looked and dressed differently. Racism exists even among immigrants.
@@smwk2017 so what, cry about. Toughen up
@@cameronbell415 Many school mass shootings in US came from bullying.
@@cameronbell415 Just because a place is "diverse" does not mean that racial politics does not exist. I have been a recipient of discrimination in this so-called "mosaic" of a country.
I immigrated to Australia 10 years ago and I am now an Australian citizen. I've been wanting to move to Canada as I thought that was a better country, but watching your video and reading the comments I don't believe making the move would be a wise decision. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I am in canada I will get citizenship if I wait for 2 yrs, but still I want to move to Australia or go back to India.
@@kumarm9221 why bro?I am planning to move Canada from bangladseh,Though I have my own MASHI(mother's sister) lives their and they are Canadian citizen since from 2012,
so I have a huge backup like living and food cost i dont have to pay for at least 1 year or more.
still should I go ? m confused after watching this video
Australia and Canada are similar in terms of cost of living, but our weather is worse and American media seeps across the border so the political mood has become very toxic.
Why want to leave Australia while many comment it's best
Having lived in both the countries and eventually moving back to India(best decision) I would recommend you stick with Australia 👍
Excellent video!! Please make videos about the high crime rate, homelessness, abject poverty, and social illnesses like same-sex sex marriage in Canada !!
Thank god i saw this video before moving to CANADA i saved my time 😓😓😓
I've lived in China for 16 years. I left Canada when I was 23. There's just very little growth or job opportunities (I'm in Education and have an MA), salaries are lower compared to China, and real estate is waaaaaaaaay too expensive. I also don't like the politicially correct, cancel culture. And police are everywhere....so many laws and bilaws, rules and regulations, high taxes...and it's winter half the year!
Interesting. But isn't China more totalitarian than Canada?
The sad reality is that in Canada media is only worried and sympathetic with transgender people problems.
But never addresses regular people's day to day issues like unaffordable housing and health care issues.
We are bombarded with LGBT flags everywhere, but no one talks about drug issues or lack of good jobs
Why do you think the government and news are pushing these LGBT issues all the time? It's so that all the people don't talk about the other thousands of bigger problems in their country.
All very good points ........ thank you!
