Canada is the only place where taxi drivers and pizza boys have medical and engineering degrees. If you have no better place to go, Canada is ok. If you have the option to go somewhere, where your education and experience is valued, then go there!
We're currently investigating this phenomenon and trying to understand why. What we're seeing is that they may have come here with rose glassess on without doing prior research, or perhaps got stuck as drivers of uber because they found comfort there. I've met a few uber drivers like that - they said they prefer working for themselves than study for 4 years, work for a Canadian and follow their rules. if thats a conscious decision they make - is that considered a failure or success?
You are absolutely right, I believed it was all the system's fault for years because this is what everyone says. But then, one of my friends came and he has an engineering degree in Morocco. I shared his experience of getting to the " Orde du Québec ". I don't feel it was too much, I believe that if we want something we need to work for it, it takes time and effort, this is normal, we will not be handed everything as soon as we land here. He is still young, in his early 30s, working in his field as a senior engineer, he likes his job, he bought a house with his wife ... I often admire him because he wasn't influenced by the negative advice we get from our community.@@MakeThatChange
@@MakeThatChangeThat's called "Defeatism" or just being stupid. Many qualified doctors moved to the US and are now working as doctors, not uber drivers. By stupid I mean taking 10 years to get a medical degree just to end up as a driver. Seriously, that's just plain dumb
I live in Canada. Grew up here. Came from Venezuela when I was 1.5 years. So this was basically home. I say was because it's not the Canada it used to be. It sucks now. Hurts my heart but it sucks. I have way too many friends that left and moved to different parts of the world and are thriving. if you expect to thrive in Canada, good luck. I sincerely mean it. I have a well paying, high demand career and still the cost of living is so high and for nothing. I live in Toronto where the hustle would get you ahead. Now the hustle just keeps your head above water. The roads are full of pot holes, crime and violent car-jacking are on the rise, home invasions, and we have no right to protect ourselves like the states does. Criminals have the most lenient sentences and are back on the streets in months maybe days, you need over $200K per household to be able to afford a house, when $100K used to be consider a very good income. Everyone is in a rush to get nowhere and drive like idiots. The lakes are nice but only swimmable three months out of the year. I know there are worst places but let me tell you, as someone that grew up in Old Canada, there are much much better places then New Canada. I'm working on paying off all my debts this year and moving somewhere else myself.
Well.. FIRST of all.. Toronto AND Vancouver are the *WORST* places to live in Canada. PERIOD. It is *EXTREMELY* expensive to live there and the crime is *RAMPANT* . If you move to a smaller town, and English is your first or only language, stay away from Quebec. There ARE affordable places to live in Canada, but you have to search for it.
I'm with you. Canada sucks these days. Everything about it sucks, from low wages, high taxes, ridiculous housing prices, obscene grocery prices, rampant homelessness, over-immigration from one country (which is drastically changing the social landscape), quickly rising crime rates, horrible health care, it's too expensive to do anything fun, there are 4 censorship laws in effect, it's winter more than half the year. It's miserable here. I could go on and on. I'm shocked to see a video actively advocating that people move here, because it's not a good or easy place to live. If anyone reading this is considering moving to Canada, I strongly suggest that you look at other countries. There are a lot of new immigrants here who are looking to leave because it's really not good.
@@davidgibson7615 I think you meant to address the OP. I'm not Venezuelan. I'm Canadian, born & bred. Pretty sure that nobody wants to go to Venezuela atm though.
This is a beautiful Video. I learn something new from you each time. I moved to Canada 7 years ago and though I am EU citizen Canada has helped me a lot! Anyway I still have to say here is not a place I would like to live for ever. However there's still so many opportunities for people who don't have it where they live. I've had a hard life here but I've learn so much and I'm grateful for everything I've done so far.
What do you have to do to apply to moving to Canada? Do you go to interviews, or how was the process? I am also EU citizen and seriously considering moving. Thanks!
I want to come to canada. Because i havent live there yet. I moved from poland to UK then to Australia. Now its time for canada since canadian lanscapes are so appealing. Im not planning to stay there forever but work and travel for 2 years. I like what you did in this video. Initially it looks like you want to scare people away but later on you make a point. But not everyone is moving for income reasons. Some people like me just always want to see the world and acclimate really easy. I will live a like as it suits me.
Oh yikes, if you enjoy country hopping, by all means try Canada. But to choose it for the landscapes... sheesh. Every country has some beautiful landscapes; but Canada is not a postcard, you have to go to specific places at specific times of the year. And those beautiful places are not necessarily places where you can get a job you like. I'm just sayin'...
There are a lot of conflicts among nations now and always, to enjoy life in Canada，one of the essential keypoint is to live peacefully and be friendly to each other, not to keep any bitterness against other ethnic group ,regardless of their ethnic background, they are all fellow Canadians : just like one big family
My wife and I recently moved to Toronto at the beginning of the year, coming from having fairly well paying jobs in finance and still maintaining those salary levels (and earning higher quantitatively) in Canada, and i absolutely agree with all points in this video. The cost of living is horrendously high (food, rent, insurance, etc), unless you get paid significantly more your disposable income could come out less than you had in your home country. the free medical care wait times and access to medical practitioners are not ideal if you previously could afford private healthcare and buying a home is unbelievably expensive compared to even Canada’s comparable countries (England, Australia, USA, Europe etc), but the salary expectation does not match though taxes are higher than the comparable countries. You would likely get better value from your investments elsewhere. That said, it is very safe, very clean and the people are generally nice… but i would not suggest it if you were financially comfortable in your home country and somewhat fairly safe… unless you are very very content with a significant downgrade in your lifestyle/quality of life. And please consider that moving “just because you can” is not a good enough reason to do it. Great video as always ladies. Very transparent, accurate and informative. 👌
I appreciate your last sentence, "And please consider that moving “just because you can” is not a good enough reason to do it." Just a question, based on your knowledge of economics, do you feel the country may improve on its cost of living matter after 5 years?, or is it very difficult to predict such an outcome?
@@Visionary-cx5dwI’m not an economic expert but from my knowledge it is difficult to predict, many factors to consider… but looking at historical trends, rental costs always increase generally. And housing prices can fluctuate somewhat but eventually they always go up. Unless there is an economic collapse like 2008 in the US…. But that is unlikely in Canada, banks have pretty decent lending controls and property is linked to things like pensions, government’s main financial instruments, etc so a housing collapse would be worse for the country than prices staying high. Plus…the demand for housing is far higher than supply possible and this won’t change for a while. My unqualified opinion🥲
Bruh life is expensive everywhere now lol. I mean rich countries ofc. And what's compassion to whole Europe as a country lol. U think someone from Poland or Bulgaria have same life as someone from Germany or Belgium?
🇨🇦 It all comes down to location, location, location. Canada is a large and diverse country. Some city centres are very expensive, while other towns in other provinces cost much less. Just as some areas are much more inclusive than others. As for our health care? I will still stand by it, flaws and all, over many other countries. Is it perfect? No, but still damn better than not having any. Good presentation, helping people to make informed decisions.
If your biggest concern is career and wealth potential, then you're going to be shopping countries; and Canada will only be a candidate. But if you feel an existential need to move from wherever you were born (war, poverty, politics, whatever) then you need to travel to experience the different ways of life in foreign countries. There is no place on Earth where you can simply arrive & blissfully thrive! Putting down foreign roots is _hard._ Canada is consistently rated within the top 15 happiest countries in the world (out of over 150 rated); and it features the world's current most useful language, English. But you'd need to experience Canada for a good while, to see if _you,_ personally, can adapt to Canadian society and conditions, and (after inevitably stressful adaptation) begin to thrive. And be aware that conditions vary widely across the country!
I moved here in 2002 with my Canadian Wife and our daughter. We prepared for having enough money to last 18 months and as we had been coming here on vacation since 98. We already had TD bank account and had been sending money to it for years before we moved. My wife was able to get a job straight away while I was waiting for residency. First job was working as a detailer in a body shop until I was able to secure a job with the GOA. Moved to Toronto in 2006 and been here since.
I enjoy your videos as you are direct and factual. I do however take a larger pleasure in reading the comments that so called Canadians post. The government of Canada is not anyone's insurance policy for housing, food, or health. If you want to be a Canadian, you best come with a solid high in demand professional qualifications. As a Canadian, I have lived and worked in Sweden, Germany and the USA.
As per immigration to any country, it helps a lot if you have a support network to help get you established. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. As a result many people have unrealistic expectations. Depending where you are coming from you may have to upgrade your education or skill sets. Anyhow before emigrating anywhere try to contact people that have already made the move so you get a realistic view before you relocate. Even Google or Facebook searches for expats groups can get a lot of information from people that have been through the process.
I came here in 2022 with a work permit for 2 years, I improved my English, I did some courses, I putted a lot of effort on it and the last week I was asked from my employer if I wanna start the process for the PR but I decided that I will go back to my country in October, all this situation is unaffordable and getting out of control and reading all the comments I realize that many people are doing the same and neither I see myself living here anymore. But…☝🏻 I’m very grateful with Canada for the opportunity of an amazing international experience, I will always remember your stunning landscapes and your incredible nature. You are so beautiful Canada, I hope that all these problems can be solved soon and you can rise up again as one of the best places to live in the world, thanks for everything 🫶🏻🇨🇦
@@MakeThatChange The U.S. is Going to turn into a Totalitarianism country. who would want to live in that kind of society? I would work as much as I could for the safety of my family.
currently in Canada for past 3 months , highly recommend everyonw not to come ! I came as student , it is way worse than I thought , no jobs , Healthcare is a joke , super racist ! I get discrimination on daily basia !! and no no matter what experience or degree or skill you have they will not even consider it !
Canada is a good fit - any country would be a good fit though. Depending on your overall motivation and desire to work hard, to work smart and persevere - Canada might be the best thing that ever happened to you.
You study the local culture, mechanics of job search, you also - network and seek feedback on what you could be doing differently. Learning the rules of the game, in order to win the game! It may sound silly but your resume just isn't the right format, or you don't do well in an interview - all that can be fixed, and reverse engineered. Since you're a newcomer, there are free newcomer services you can take advantage of. It's all listed in the paperwork and welcome package given to you during the process. They help you understand the job market, etc. If you prefer 1on1, we also provide consultations - however, I would recommend to check out newcomer services first. Job search is also a job.
In a nutshell if you are rich in your country don't move to Canada regardless of your job, instead go only in vacation time as a tourist, your wallet will thank you. Only move if you are poor in a 3rd world country and your current job is in demand in Canada. And I especially agree with the security situation, if you're exposed to extreme insecurity (like in my homecountry Mexico) you should move, no matter if you are rich or not.
Not only rich but once you have a good standard of living. If you have a trade and youre not getting paid for it in your home country that would be a good situation for considering a move too.
You gave the example of a web developer who worked for Western companies but lived and worked in Russia. Recently I had an interview as a backend developer with a company from the USA, this company closing all its offices in Russia and started hiring staff from another country (east Europe), and this is true not only for Russia but for all ex-USSR countries as Kazakhstan to. Today finding remote jobs in Western companies is hard.
I would say it depends, Western companies, especially the US, have figured out that Latin America and Eastern europe develoeprs are much cheaper than their own, so they do take advantage of the geo arbitrage. Having said that, it still takes networking and reputation to land a gig like that.
I was born in canada by American parents, moved to the us in 1979. Im 60 and thinking of moving back to Ontario for ages 60 to 65 until i get Medicare. Health insurance is very expensive in the us and canada healthcare is looking good. I would become an ontario resident and live there for 6months in the summer and live in florida during the winters, until i turn 65 and qualify for Medicare. I retired at age 55, travel in an rv full time, we are TH-camr nomads and technically work from anywhere. Larry
Im not an immigration expert but it doesn’t seem like you have qualify for immigration if you’re retired or are you a citizen by birth? I’d search your question on google and see if the government website answers you. I find it kind of shady coming to a country where you’ve never paid tax just take advantage of their free health care though…
@ i agree with you it is shady, but i didnt make the rules, and i have to think of staying alive first, and being a shady dude second. I lived in canada for 15 years and my parent lived, worked and paid taxes there their whole lives, but i figure if people can immigrate with no Canadian connection, get free health care, why cant I. But i appreciate the points you made.
I'm not earning huge amounts at home and my profession (urban planner) is in high demand in canada, but I'm worried if my langauge skills would be enough to get a job on the canadian market. I worked in canada for a year in 2014-2015 and I loved it. I miss Canada and have friends there, although it would be scary to leave my family now I actually cried when I had to return home in 2015 because I loved canada so much. I live in an nordic country, and find it boring and don't like the culture, people are not friendly and open in sweden like they are in canada, so Imo my standard of living socially really improved in canada, easy to make good friends
I dont care for the money I CARE FOR LOVE AND FRIENDS I will come to canada no matter what I like the natural and canada has more to give you than europe
I just looked into moving to Canada. I looked at the Canadian dollar continued decline against the US dollar, the problem with medical care, the high cost of housing, the high cost of groceries, the low productivity of the Canadian economy and finally the very high tax rate and decided against it.
I’m Canadian. I got the opportunity to go university in the states and was recruited in my senior year to go work for one of the largest financial companies in the world. I had a good career here, but I always thought about retiring “back home”. I’m ready to retire now and wanted to come back, but I found that there are a lot of problems in Canada that made such a move not feasible for me at this time. I have great memories of my youth living in Canada, but the country of my youth doesn’t exist anymore.
i think it worth since im going to be in the electrical trade, hopefully in the next 4-5 years i can move, that's when i finish my trade and get the experience.
I’m Canadian and I’ve made friends with many new comers to my country. What pisses me off the most is my friends who are Doctors or Engineers in their country having to come here and basically start from scratch and go back to school. That’s appalling and we have a medical crisis right now they need these people. And if you don’t have a family doctor you will be waiting a looong time to see a doctor. Hmm also the rent and food and everything exploded to astronomical proportions. So I’m not sure how they can exist, I would recommend applying for low income housing in the government system which will be oppressive for sometime but if you are diligent and pass all the schooling and hoops you may be able to create what you wish.
Your taking doctors and engineers from impoverished countries, a brain drain. Do you feel bad for advocating for that, creating a medical crisis in the countries that invested money into making those doctors and engineers. society pays a cost for each doctor it produces.
We are considering moving to canada from germany. Many people are commenting about the taxes and living costs being high. But the situation in Germany is currently much worse. We have much higher taxes and the living costs are skyrocketing. Canada may not be the cheapest country but with the social system and nature etc the best alternative and cheaper than Germany. What do you think?
@@MakeThatChange I don’t know it is Teer 2 but I don’t know if my current jobexperience would be acknowledged in canada. I am originally a certified insurance salesman but currently I am working as a rail traffic controller since 2020.
you might want to consider to do some research on what field/profession is in higher REAL demand in Canada. Start by studying the job market and even sending out resumes to positions. Based on our experience, insurance has plenty of postings, but also many people competing for it - it might be challenging as the outlook for this profession in Canada is fairly moderate, license would be an asset, but you'd also need to gain an understanding of specifics of insurance market in Canada. Rail traffic control might require some certification as well, and there are very few positions open at any given time - but worth a try!
My girlfriend is Canadian, I am a Dutch (the Netherlands) citizen. Interesting journey to find out were is the best future for us. She has a good career in education and she will have options to work in europe as well (as teachers are very in demand).
So basically save up a lot of money and have tons of work experience then move to then rely on pure shear luck and just mayhe you might make it thru living there in Canada. Ok, cool. Sounds just like moving to anywhere else. At this point just go to jail n live there for the rest of ur life and chill.
What I like about this channel is transparency. Everything I just heard from the video is the reflection of what I see people feel when the come to Canada. Immigration has never been easy. but even me started to think why I’d made this step. If you have nothing to lose in your own country , I say GO for it buddy
I appreciate you talked about " safety " because this is the main reason I came to Canada and it has no price. Being gay from a Muslim country and from a Muslim family. I was a victim of physical abuse all my childhood and adulthood inside the house and outside. Just for not being straight. As soon as I got the opportunity to move to Canada, I didn't hesitate and I am very happy to be safe and not live in fear anymore. I don't care about all the difficulties, I work hard and I accept the fact that nowhere is perfect in the world, I appreciate the positive side and I accept the downsides. I am very happy every morning because I am here.
Gay marriage became legal in Canada 10 years ahead of the USA. That is because in Canada, if it is not about hockey, then no one cares what team you are on.☺
10:10 that's exactly why I'm thinking about immigrating to Canada! So, I'm a young romanian citizen(born&raised) and have fully benefited out of the EU laws of free movement and labour market, I lived& worked in the UK before Brexit, lived&worked in The Netherlands, in Spain and I have recently tried Finland. I have a in-demand job with more-then-average salary being a truck driver, I was well-paid in all of Europe's countries that I mentioned above but not integrated anywhere...at all. The UK was most welcoming for me, the Brits being very open-minded and well used to immigrants! So, after 13 years of living in Western Europe I can say that language barrier is a major turn-off, conservative menthality, discrimination and even rasism is still very present, especially towards people from eastern Europe. After all these years I feel used, everybody just pays you for your job and than dispose of you! It's all a big joke, millions of easterners are working in Western Europe, go to work, get paid and then go home in their own little communities that are well-tied with their home-country. You're treated fair, not nice, your life is good but not thriving, you're not culturally assimilated, nobody cares about your integration, in most cases they don't even want you to get too comfortable, some even try to make your life or job harder just to mess with you because they're mean and racist...So what the E.U. did, at least in my POV is they focused A LOT more on immigrants from outside the EU, mostly from Middle east, than on our own populations! Another important and scary factor for me is the war in Ukraine, of course....How and when will it end? How will Europe look then, or in 10 years or 15? Will we ever be more independent in the energy sector? How will the transport sector look like in Europe in the next 15 years? The European Comission highly neglected our trucking industry in the last 20 years, using cheap labour techniques on us(easterners) and now that they can't do it on us anymore they started importing people from Pakistan, India, Phillipines wich work half our wages, or even less, imperialism and slavery never really died in Europe! Remember that! Anyway, thinking that I spent 13 years in Europe makes me think why don't I spend the next 13 years in Canada and see how that goes...I mean, I've given a chance to Europe and didn't really payed off when it comes to social status, integration, cultural assimilation. So I would much rather move into a new country where there are immigrants everywhere, they're welcomed, the country is basically made out of immigrants, throw myself into the mix, invest my money made in Europe, set myself up with a small company, buy myself a truck and start truckin' in America(CA+US). Given the fact that I already was an immigrant at 22 in western Europe, I do have the experience with immigration, so that's another bonus! Canada is not doing very well? well, Europe is doing HORRIBLY, so I'm not really scared of that! Canada has to tough it the fck out! This is actually a test for Canada and immmigrants to canada! Who ever had a Canadian dream will not leave, will stiffen that upper lip and keep going, do some protest, overthrow the government, whatever, man! People who didn't really have a Canadian dream will be the first to move out! Those who will take the risks, will win....it was the same with the first europeans immmigrating to the US, or the Americans that start going West, they were fighters, risk takers, ambitious MEN and WOMEN that gained my respect! That's what America is all about! I've been testing my will with your videos, so THANK YOU for that! Nothing changed, challenge accepted, I will arrive in Canada in the next 6months to 2 years! Ohh, and you say some people are leaving??? That's great!!! More opportunities for me! That's a go-getter menthality! That's what you need to succesfully integrate in a new country and the road to citizenship! It's STIFF vs SOFT...America is all about STIFF! 40 years from now I will be an old but proud man, that little bits of 2064 Canada was built with goods that me and my truck carried all around this big beautiful country and I might build there my family too, as I never really could in the racist, segregated, un-federal, arrogant Europe! I think Canada needs me, and I need Canada! ;) got hick-ups? Level them! Let's try using a truck! :))) a joke, of course, it's infinitely more complex than that, but...I think we live in a scenario in wich history repeats itself, again there's a war in Europe, there's masses of people movin' around in the world, the world is re-setting itself, there's lots of pain and lots of opportunities! I hope by the time the re-setting is over and things are quiet again I'll be well-integrated in Canada!
Over the past several years Canada has let in way more immigrants than there are jobs or housing for. An election is over a year away at which time a conservative government will get elected resulting in less immigration, smaller government, less regulation, more housing being built and an increase in private sector investment in projects that currently require too much red tape to proceed.
I have watched a lot of those kinds of videos, but yours is the best ( duuh lol)... Especially with the four diagrams... Very clear way to make a final decision... But in my case, i dont feel safe in my country so it is a no brainer that i should move in....
Simple, I am from the Netherlands and I will not trade my country for another, maybe Danmark, Norway, Switzerland or Sud-Tirol ( North Italy ) as almost everything is well arranged here. Living quality, safety, facilities, work, insurances, infrastructure and the list is long....very long. Perfect? No, we have issues and living costs are not cheap but incredibly high standard on daily basis and very good acces to public facilities. Police, fire department, ambulance and intelligence services are working great. At some areas in the bigger cities I will not go ( same story all over the Globe ) but in terms of living, options, income, food, transport etc etc I will not change my country :) Will I visit Canada? Yes I will! I am about to plan a trip for 2024, latest 2025 ( expensive yes yes!) to discover some of natures extreme beauty and hopefully meet some new nice people. Lot of Dutch do have a special connection with Canada, so I must go, I have to experience some tiny bit of that giant country!
well as someone who came out of gaza with nothing on me and i wasn't even able to finish my last year in college...do you have any advice for me? thx to my canedian relative we got out but a new life with nothing to my name is scaring me immensely...
First, I am deeply sorry you had to leave your home, no one should ever be forced to leave home. Secondly, glad to hear you're safe. Our advice would be to stay strong, be open to learning how the new culture and society works. Pick up where you left off with studies, if you loved what you were studying. Canadian government and banks provide student loans at low to no interest rates that you don't have to repay until after several years after your graduation. Tap into your own community where you are, make friends. Don't be scared about having nothing on your name - you have relatives to say the least, you also have an opportunity to start your life from scratch, and hopefully maybe even make a positive change in this horrible world. Wishing you all the best! If you want to stay connected with other newcomers, make sure to join our facebook group!
I dont mind the challenges since i dont have any degrees etc my country far worse than Canada, what i want to aks is it possible to find minimum wage jobs or is it true that there are barley any jobs left😅?
Only if you really have to move to Canada. US is still way better choice. Many reasons not to. Forget about a house, having kids extremely hard, etc. I know the video shows a different picture, but trust me, bad idea. 10 years ago maybe, but not now.
I wouldn't recommend anyone move to the US. We are becoming a white-race, forced birth, no women or racial rights, and intolerance for anyone who isn't straight and white.
Very good video. People really do need to think carefully about their situations before moving to any other country Canada or even the USA. Your points are very clear and well thought out.
Also the most in demand skills are actually plumbers, welders trade skills type of people. Lots of Canadians are getting old and retired. We need trade skills and medical field say nurses and doctors the most. Getting certified for trade skills is very doable here with college certificates or training programs that would give you official canadian certificates. Tradesmen easily get jobs and their pay is decent. IT people should go to the USA or even stay home and work remote to save money.
This question is for everyone who can give me some perspective ❤ I currently live in Israel-Palestine, so there’s a war, insane Islamophobia and racism, political persecution, a fascist government and TLV is in the top 10 most expensive cities in the world (for reference - Toronto is 99 on the same list). I realize no place is perfect, but I’m willing to take the risk because things are grim here. Also, I freelance so I can work remotely. Do you think in my position it could be good to move to Canada?
Provided you can get a PR or a visa to Canada, it sounds like it's worth the try. Freelancing might be tricky from taxation perspective, but being able to freelance and work when you move - is a big advantage, provided you can afford it.
FIrst check for what immigration programs you could qualify for on www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.html Next, check out the Self-Employed section on that website - as a freelancer, you will likely be considered self-employed. You might want to consider incorporation as well. All details can be found there!
What about a Criteria in which someone is getting a real hard time getting a job in their current residing country & the Pros of Caanada (like Free Health Care , Free education till 12th Grade in Public Schools , Low Crime Rate & most importantly not getting your VISA cancelled due to getting fired) entice them...
Job market in Canada has been funky too lately. If it is hard for you to find a job in the country you're already familiar with, what makes you think it'll be easier in Canada?
@@MakeThatChange Interesting Point.I would like to add that: The residing country i am comparing with is a very small country.A rough comparison between the two is : > Residing Country Population - 2 Million Vs Canada - 40 Million.
*Low security country. *24 year's old. No high education degree. Will it be worth it to emigrate and study in Canada to build my life there? Good video, makes me think twice about making decisions. And thanks for the answer's for who will reply!
If you can afford education in Canada - absolutely worth giving it try. Make sure you do research in the most in demand and well paid professions, if you haven’t made a decision on what you want to study. Also be ready for some difficulties along the way, and stay strong, it will pass!
How about the case of a family.. My wife’s a care aid in Interior Health there but on leave since we just have our baby last year and im here in the US (a citizen) working, often visit them. What basis will be the case to consider, go here in the US or move to Canada?.
I'm moving to Canada soon on a work permit (1 year) and the reason why is because i want to gain both work and life experience. I have a very good life in my country and a stable income. Is it stupid of me to think this way?
I am considering moving to Canada from China as a marketer with over 8 years of work experience. The thing is it is totally impossible for a worker to afford an apartment in my city where a remote apartment of 100 square meters is worth US$828,000. And as a local, I am supposed to pay 30% of the full price as a downpayment and spend the rest of my 30-40 years to pay off the mortgage. The worst part is that companies here prefer fresh graduates over experienced and expensive workers, so losing your job or starting to drive Didi (similar to Uber) at 35 is a likely future for everyone. The way I see it, since I do international marketing, a lot of people in marketing from other countries are still loving what they are doing in their 50s or even 60s. That's why I am thinking of moving. China leaves me no choices. And I love choices.
Marketing is a fulfilling profession and can be well paid for experience professionals, but it’s also very competitive in Canada: there are a lot of marketers, and it’s one of the most popular bachelor degrees in business here. Be ready to network a lot, have a portfolio and hustle to land your dream job! Wishing you all the best!
Sure would be nice if some of your videos were about the Prairies or the Maritimes. There are so many different lifestyles available in Canada. Please don’t perpetuate the myth that Canada is just Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. This country is enormous!
Depends on the city. Toronto or Vancouver might be challenging, but not impossible - depending on whether you have a partner or live with roommates. Rent is expensice, do whatever you can to save on it.
it is a remote province, so we recommend making sure you can find a job there as opportunities may be limited. Housing, food and transportation are generally cheaper.
When you talked about nurses and trade people you forgot to mention that they would need Canadian diplomas to perform trade or nursing via tests or degree. Developers are not doing that bad in Canada.
I have a 5 year bachelor degree in medical laboratory science (a very high demand job in canada ) yet they have absolutely insane laws ! I got offered a job part-time ans they were willing to make it full time but they ended up withdrawing the offer because I couldn't get Canadian "driver license " for a job that is not related to driving at all !! Canada internationally wanna be crisis ! someone is benefiting from this lack of healthcare !!!
Sorry to hear that's happened to you. I do want to take a moment and celebrate that you landed a job in your field so soon, good job! Don't despair, it takes some time to adapt and understand the local laws, and then it will get better and easier. PREPARATION is everything - understanding the laws of the job market, building a resume and interviewing. Driving license is a standard requirement for jobs that require some degree of mobility and independence.
yup^ Australia is also moving to clean energy, so there are no oil & gas opportunities AT ALL - this makes a solid portion of Canadian economy ( and immigration)
Then, what afe the good countries to go to? I hate my actual country and i am searching for another country to go but all of them have people to say its bad to live in there
*24 years old *planning to do a MBA in Canada *moving with husband *living in a third world country *husband has some experience as a system support engineer (IT) and has a BSC in SE *I have a Bsc in International business management Will it be worth it to come to study and to build our lives there with the current situation in Canada. however, the situation in my country is much worse when comparing to Canada. Your opinion will be highly appreciated. TIA❤
* I cant even afford a house and a car here. Even if I get one here it will be really hard to achieve the other. And even if I achieve one it will be hard to maintain it with my countries current situation.
Hey! Ultimately it is your decision on whether you’re ready to make a big change. I’ve met many people coming to Canada for a masters degree and achieving a really successful life here. MBA is a great versatile degree, but I would recommend to specialize in something like finance or data. Take the best advantage of opportunities the university gives you - networking, student associations, applying for bursaries, extra projects etc. and you will be set for success.
My student visa has been approved also work permit for my husband and visas also for my children. I work at the airport as a supervisor in passenger service department. Salary is 900$ . What is your advice?
@@MakeThatChange I have just completed Diploma in CSE and would join a startup soon, in the mean time, I would be doing b-tech as a part time student. After that is completed, what could be my chances of getting eligible for PR? Please reply honestly. during that time, I would have 3 years work experience.
It's hard to tell without knowing more details, we also cannot evaluate your chances, since we are not immigration consultants. What I can tell is, looks like you're going after an in-demand future-proof profession ( computer science) and you plan on working as soon as you can. if you're successful on the job market, you'll have a good life set out for you.
You nailed it with social protection and safety and security. IMO, these are THE most important reasons to consider moving to Canada. Wealth and skills can be acquired and quantified and are secondary, assuming one can meet basic needs. Peace and stability cannot be quantified nor are they easily acquired. There are plenty of (born in Canada) Canadians who would not consider themselves wealthy or who are otherwise underemployed. That’s life. Newcomers need to face that reality (as do old stock Canadians) and set realistic expectations. If they think they will transition somehow from lower middle income status in their home country to living in Canada as part of the 1%, it ain’t gonna happen. Will they be looked after? Yes. Countries are literally like real estate on a Monopoly board. It’s location, location, location. Those with the most to offer, are generally more costly. It’s obviously a personal choice as you correctly point out but those who leave to places that offer far less than Canada does leave me shaking my head.
Greetings, I am currently pursuing my bachelor's in computer science (4th year) in india.I applied to uni of Ottawa and univ of windsor (concentration in AI and applied computing) . I wish to become either a full stack developer or a data scientist coz i already knew both of these . Is it a right time to move to canada ? Or should i need to look back other countries like Eg. Ireland,Uk? Currently I'm in a big confusion 🙂
Hi! AI is a great concentration to study with great opportunities and salary. It all depends on whether you can afford the cost of living and studying in Canada. UK and Ireland aren’t cheap either, if not more expensive. The biggest reason many criticize Canada is cost of living - the reality is, it’s about the same as most other developed metropolitans. Personally, we think the timing to move to Canada is as good as it’s ever been.
I work in cybersecurity in Singapore im not earning enough to support my family :( but i see wages in Calgary that range $30-50/h for a similar job with less years of experience is it worth moving?
It’s a complex question to answer. Is the salary and income the only reasons why you want to move? Are you ok with a potential drastic lifestyle and climate change? Singapore is a much more comfortable city than any city in Canada to be honest, and your lifestyle and even food quality will differ quite a lot. Think about whether you’re willing to make these adjustments just for the salary, if that’s the biggest reason to move. Overall, we recommend to study the job market in cybersecurity, start networking - connect with a few calgary-based cybersecurityprofrsssinals and get their insights on the job market.
@@MakeThatChange I find my upbringing and work life here extremely stressful. But when complaining to my colleagues, they think i'm spoiled i don't know if working 50hours a week is normal? for the IT sector? I'm seeing online listings on indeed for the similar positions paying way higher than what i'm earning here. I'm also not a fan of the stressful fast-paced life it feels like every day i'm just wasting away i come home with barely any time for myself. I'm the sole breadwinner i've got to support my mom and little sister. It's also very hot and crowded here it feels gross to inevitably make skin contact with people on public transport every day. My options are Canada, New zealand, australia but i've got great-relatives in canada so that's my only point of contact. I just want to settle in a town with a backyard for myself and commute to my workplace or work remotely (which a lot of companies in SG avoid despite it being perfectly reasonable to)
Depending on the company, it may be similarly stressful in Canada too, but generally speaking, Canadians value worklife balance a lot. It sounds like between the options youv'e described Canada might be the most suitable option, it will provide the best opportunities in your field, and having relatives around makes it A LOT easier to adapt to the new life. Begin by getting a feel of the job market in Calgary in cybersecurity, connect with a few department directors in IT/cybersec companies, connect with local recruiters. This will help you evaluate your chances and reduce the risk of being stuck in your job search.
I'm planning to do my ms in finance, Is it demanding job in Canada? Should I go study finance there? I confused between Canada and Germany, where should I go for my master? I will appreciate if anyone help me
what about doctors? im a general practitioner in Mexico, I´ve learn about a new wey to migrate to Nova Scotia with a new pathway to long-term licensure for international trained physicians.
Can you talk about people who leave a country like Australia to go to Canada? I’m Colombian with an student visa in Australia and I want to know if it’s a good decision, thank you!
It depends on what you do, what's the demand for your job on Canadian job market and your networking skills. Additionally it depends on where you see yourself in 5-10 years, what's your goal? Career success? Cheaper education? or a pretty blue passport? Also keep in mind that Canadian climate is different from Australia and Colombia. However, the US is right across the border. It's advantageous to have such an economically strong neighbor, depending on your job it might be useful to you

@@MakeThatChange My pleasure Anna. I’m also a resident of Toronto and I can appreciate your comments and recent video on the many challenges of living here. Dan. 👍
This video is so wrong, all criteria is about income and job demand. The only outlier is people in war torn places, but if your only motivation for moving is earning more or getting an in demand job, then you will really fail.
How would you like to be a 56 year old physical therapist with a doctoral degree and Canadian immigration tells you the cutoff point to get permanent residency here is 55. Dear Canada, if you think I'm too old for you then I will find another place to live.
Canada is the only place where taxi drivers and pizza boys have medical and engineering degrees. If you have no better place to go, Canada is ok. If you have the option to go somewhere, where your education and experience is valued, then go there!
We're currently investigating this phenomenon and trying to understand why. What we're seeing is that they may have come here with rose glassess on without doing prior research, or perhaps got stuck as drivers of uber because they found comfort there. I've met a few uber drivers like that - they said they prefer working for themselves than study for 4 years, work for a Canadian and follow their rules.
if thats a conscious decision they make - is that considered a failure or success?
You are absolutely right, I believed it was all the system's fault for years because this is what everyone says. But then, one of my friends came and he has an engineering degree in Morocco. I shared his experience of getting to the " Orde du Québec ". I don't feel it was too much, I believe that if we want something we need to work for it, it takes time and effort, this is normal, we will not be handed everything as soon as we land here. He is still young, in his early 30s, working in his field as a senior engineer, he likes his job, he bought a house with his wife ... I often admire him because he wasn't influenced by the negative advice we get from our community.@@MakeThatChange
Sounds like he’s found his success!
@@MakeThatChangeThat's called "Defeatism" or just being stupid. Many qualified doctors moved to the US and are now working as doctors, not uber drivers. By stupid I mean taking 10 years to get a medical degree just to end up as a driver. Seriously, that's just plain dumb
That’s your opinion and we respect it.
I live in Canada. Grew up here. Came from Venezuela when I was 1.5 years. So this was basically home. I say was because it's not the Canada it used to be. It sucks now. Hurts my heart but it sucks. I have way too many friends that left and moved to different parts of the world and are thriving. if you expect to thrive in Canada, good luck. I sincerely mean it. I have a well paying, high demand career and still the cost of living is so high and for nothing. I live in Toronto where the hustle would get you ahead. Now the hustle just keeps your head above water. The roads are full of pot holes, crime and violent car-jacking are on the rise, home invasions, and we have no right to protect ourselves like the states does. Criminals have the most lenient sentences and are back on the streets in months maybe days, you need over $200K per household to be able to afford a house, when $100K used to be consider a very good income. Everyone is in a rush to get nowhere and drive like idiots. The lakes are nice but only swimmable three months out of the year. I know there are worst places but let me tell you, as someone that grew up in Old Canada, there are much much better places then New Canada. I'm working on paying off all my debts this year and moving somewhere else myself.
In the other hands is people have no way to moving out in The US so Canada is a better choose than the third world country you know
Well.. FIRST of all.. Toronto AND Vancouver are the *WORST* places to live in Canada. PERIOD.
It is *EXTREMELY* expensive to live there and the crime is *RAMPANT* .
If you move to a smaller town, and English is your first or only language, stay away from Quebec.
There ARE affordable places to live in Canada, but you have to search for it.
I'm with you. Canada sucks these days. Everything about it sucks, from low wages, high taxes, ridiculous housing prices, obscene grocery prices, rampant homelessness, over-immigration from one country (which is drastically changing the social landscape), quickly rising crime rates, horrible health care, it's too expensive to do anything fun, there are 4 censorship laws in effect, it's winter more than half the year. It's miserable here. I could go on and on.
I'm shocked to see a video actively advocating that people move here, because it's not a good or easy place to live.
If anyone reading this is considering moving to Canada, I strongly suggest that you look at other countries. There are a lot of new immigrants here who are looking to leave because it's really not good.
@@jodibraun6383well you can go back to Venezuela but US is not an option either

This is a beautiful Video. I learn something new from you each time. I moved to Canada 7 years ago and though I am EU citizen Canada has helped me a lot! Anyway I still have to say here is not a place I would like to live for ever. However there's still so many opportunities for people who don't have it where they live.
I've had a hard life here but I've learn so much and I'm grateful for everything I've done so far.
What do you have to do to apply to moving to Canada? Do you go to interviews, or how was the process? I am also EU citizen and seriously considering moving. Thanks!
I want to come to canada. Because i havent live there yet. I moved from poland to UK then to Australia. Now its time for canada since canadian lanscapes are so appealing. Im not planning to stay there forever but work and travel for 2 years. I like what you did in this video. Initially it looks like you want to scare people away but later on you make a point. But not everyone is moving for income reasons. Some people like me just always want to see the world and acclimate really easy. I will live a like as it suits me.
Don't move here while Trudeau is P.M.
Oh yikes, if you enjoy country hopping, by all means try Canada. But to choose it for the landscapes... sheesh. Every country has some beautiful landscapes; but Canada is not a postcard, you have to go to specific places at specific times of the year. And those beautiful places are not necessarily places where you can get a job you like. I'm just sayin'...
There are a lot of conflicts among nations now and always, to enjoy life in Canada，one of the essential keypoint is to live peacefully and be friendly to each other, not to keep any bitterness against other ethnic group ,regardless of their ethnic background, they are all fellow Canadians : just like one big family
Thank you for saying that 🥰
My wife and I recently moved to Toronto at the beginning of the year, coming from having fairly well paying jobs in finance and still maintaining those salary levels (and earning higher quantitatively) in Canada, and i absolutely agree with all points in this video. The cost of living is horrendously high (food, rent, insurance, etc), unless you get paid significantly more your disposable income could come out less than you had in your home country. the free medical care wait times and access to medical practitioners are not ideal if you previously could afford private healthcare and buying a home is unbelievably expensive compared to even Canada’s comparable countries (England, Australia, USA, Europe etc), but the salary expectation does not match though taxes are higher than the comparable countries. You would likely get better value from your investments elsewhere. That said, it is very safe, very clean and the people are generally nice… but i would not suggest it if you were financially comfortable in your home country and somewhat fairly safe… unless you are very very content with a significant downgrade in your lifestyle/quality of life. And please consider that moving “just because you can” is not a good enough reason to do it.
Great video as always ladies. Very transparent, accurate and informative. 👌
I appreciate your last sentence, "And please consider that moving “just because you can” is not a good enough reason to do it."
Just a question, based on your knowledge of economics, do you feel the country may improve on its cost of living matter after 5 years?, or is it very difficult to predict such an outcome?
@@Visionary-cx5dwI’m not an economic expert but from my knowledge it is difficult to predict, many factors to consider… but looking at historical trends, rental costs always increase generally. And housing prices can fluctuate somewhat but eventually they always go up. Unless there is an economic collapse like 2008 in the US…. But that is unlikely in Canada, banks have pretty decent lending controls and property is linked to things like pensions, government’s main financial instruments, etc so a housing collapse would be worse for the country than prices staying high. Plus…the demand for housing is far higher than supply possible and this won’t change for a while. My unqualified opinion🥲
thank you for sharing your personal insights too!
Indians ruined canada😢
Bruh life is expensive everywhere now lol. I mean rich countries ofc. And what's compassion to whole Europe as a country lol. U think someone from Poland or Bulgaria have same life as someone from Germany or Belgium?
🇨🇦 It all comes down to location, location, location. Canada is a large and diverse country. Some city centres are very expensive, while other towns in other provinces cost much less. Just as some areas are much more inclusive than others. As for our health care? I will still stand by it, flaws and all, over many other countries. Is it perfect? No, but still damn better than not having any.
Good presentation, helping people to make informed decisions.
If your biggest concern is career and wealth potential, then you're going to be shopping countries; and Canada will only be a candidate. But if you feel an existential need to move from wherever you were born (war, poverty, politics, whatever) then you need to travel to experience the different ways of life in foreign countries. There is no place on Earth where you can simply arrive & blissfully thrive! Putting down foreign roots is _hard._ Canada is consistently rated within the top 15 happiest countries in the world (out of over 150 rated); and it features the world's current most useful language, English. But you'd need to experience Canada for a good while, to see if _you,_ personally, can adapt to Canadian society and conditions, and (after inevitably stressful adaptation) begin to thrive. And be aware that conditions vary widely across the country!
I moved here in 2002 with my Canadian Wife and our daughter. We prepared for having enough money to last 18 months and as we had been coming here on vacation since 98. We already had TD bank account and had been sending money to it for years before we moved.
My wife was able to get a job straight away while I was waiting for residency. First job was working as a detailer in a body shop until I was able to secure a job with the GOA.
Moved to Toronto in 2006 and been here since.
Is it bad or hard to maintain financial stability..I wanna move her so bad but I’m scared bkuz of the reviews…I wanna live in Calgary
I enjoy your videos as you are direct and factual. I do however take a larger pleasure in reading the comments that so called Canadians post.
The government of Canada is not anyone's insurance policy for housing, food, or health.
If you want to be a Canadian, you best come with a solid high in demand professional qualifications.
As a Canadian, I have lived and worked in Sweden, Germany and the USA.
As per immigration to any country, it helps a lot if you have a support network to help get you established. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. As a result many people have unrealistic expectations. Depending where you are coming from you may have to upgrade your education or skill sets. Anyhow before emigrating anywhere try to contact people that have already made the move so you get a realistic view before you relocate. Even Google or Facebook searches for expats groups can get a lot of information from people that have been through the process.
Finally an objective video about Canada with pros and cons, not just negativity and complaints
Glad you found it!
you discussed it well. Great vid! 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
I came here in 2022 with a work permit for 2 years, I improved my English, I did some courses, I putted a lot of effort on it and the last week I was asked from my employer if I wanna start the process for the PR but I decided that I will go back to my country in October, all this situation is unaffordable and getting out of control and reading all the comments I realize that many people are doing the same and neither I see myself living here anymore.
But…☝🏻 I’m very grateful with Canada for the opportunity of an amazing international experience, I will always remember your stunning landscapes and your incredible nature. You are so beautiful Canada, I hope that all these problems can be solved soon and you can rise up again as one of the best places to live in the world, thanks for everything 🫶🏻🇨🇦

@@MakeThatChange The U.S. is Going to turn into a Totalitarianism country. who would want to live in that kind of society? I would work as much as I could for the safety of my family.
currently in Canada for past 3 months , highly recommend everyonw not to come ! I came as student , it is way worse than I thought , no jobs , Healthcare is a joke , super racist ! I get discrimination on daily basia !! and no no matter what experience or degree or skill you have they will not even consider it !
What if I’m leaving in a conflict zone with political persecution? Asking for real..
Canada is a good fit - any country would be a good fit though. Depending on your overall motivation and desire to work hard, to work smart and persevere - Canada might be the best thing that ever happened to you.
@@bdidimful then yes it will
worth it
@@MakeThatChange and how do you do hard work when no one is willing to give you an opportunity to show your work ethics ?
You study the local culture, mechanics of job search, you also - network and seek feedback on what you could be doing differently. Learning the rules of the game, in order to win the game! It may sound silly but your resume just isn't the right format, or you don't do well in an interview - all that can be fixed, and reverse engineered.
Since you're a newcomer, there are free newcomer services you can take advantage of. It's all listed in the paperwork and welcome package given to you during the process. They help you understand the job market, etc. If you prefer 1on1, we also provide consultations - however, I would recommend to check out newcomer services first.
Job search is also a job.
In a nutshell if you are rich in your country don't move to Canada regardless of your job, instead go only in vacation time as a tourist, your wallet will thank you.
Only move if you are poor in a 3rd world country and your current job is in demand in Canada.
And I especially agree with the security situation, if you're exposed to extreme insecurity (like in my homecountry Mexico) you should move, no matter if you are rich or not.
Well summarized!
If you are poor in the 3rd world, most likely you can't afford moving to Canada, let alone buying a flight ticket 😂.
Well...my(Anastasia's) family saved for 5 years just to afford the funds necessary to move to Canada.
@@MakeThatChange It is a really long term goal
Not only rich but once you have a good standard of living. If you have a trade and youre not getting paid for it in your home country that would be a good situation for considering a move too.
You gave the example of a web developer who worked for Western companies but lived and worked in Russia. Recently I had an interview as a backend developer with a company from the USA, this company closing all its offices in Russia and started hiring staff from another country (east Europe), and this is true not only for Russia but for all ex-USSR countries as Kazakhstan to. Today finding remote jobs in Western companies is hard.
I would say it depends, Western companies, especially the US, have figured out that Latin America and Eastern europe develoeprs are much cheaper than their own, so they do take advantage of the geo arbitrage. Having said that, it still takes networking and reputation to land a gig like that.
Get out from Ukraine! And maybe you will get a job again.
I was born in canada by American parents, moved to the us in 1979. Im 60 and thinking of moving back to Ontario for ages 60 to 65 until i get Medicare.

I would become an ontario resident and live there for 6months in the summer and live in florida during the winters, until i turn 65 and qualify for Medicare. I retired at age 55, travel in an rv full time, we are TH-camr nomads and technically work from anywhere. Larry
Im not an immigration expert but it doesn’t seem like you have qualify for immigration if you’re retired or are you a citizen by birth? I’d search your question on google and see if the government website answers you. I find it kind of shady coming to a country where you’ve never paid tax just take advantage of their free health care though…
@ i agree with you it is shady, but i didnt make the rules, and i have to think of staying alive first, and being a shady dude second. I lived in canada for 15 years and my parent lived, worked and paid taxes there their whole lives, but i figure if people can immigrate with no Canadian connection, get free health care, why cant I. But i appreciate the points you made.
I'm not earning huge amounts at home and my profession (urban planner) is in high demand in canada, but I'm worried if my langauge skills would be enough to get a job on the canadian market. I worked in canada for a year in 2014-2015 and I loved it. I miss Canada and have friends there, although it would be scary to leave my family now I actually cried when I had to return home in 2015 because I loved canada so much. I live in an nordic country, and find it boring and don't like the culture, people are not friendly and open in sweden like they are in canada, so Imo my standard of living socially really improved in canada, easy to make good friends

I dont care for the money I CARE FOR LOVE AND FRIENDS I will come to canada no matter what I like the natural and canada has more to give you than europe
I just looked into moving to Canada. I looked at the Canadian dollar continued decline against the US dollar, the problem with medical care, the high cost of housing, the high cost of groceries, the low productivity of the Canadian economy and finally the very high tax rate and decided against it.
Have you compared Canada to other options or did you decide to stay back in your home country?
I’m Canadian. I got the opportunity to go university in the states and was recruited in my senior year to go work for one of the largest financial companies in the world. I had a good career here, but I always thought about retiring “back home”. I’m ready to retire now and wanted to come back, but I found that there are a lot of problems in Canada that made such a move not feasible for me at this time. I have great memories of my youth living in Canada, but the country of my youth doesn’t exist anymore.
We hear you. Where in the US did you decide to retire?
I’m in the San Joaquin valley between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Wonderful geography to be in. All the best!
As someone who wants to work in animation industry, Canada is a great point to start if you don't have job experience. Thats why I want to live there
i think it worth since im going to be in the electrical trade, hopefully in the next 4-5 years i can move, that's when i finish my trade and get the experience.
good decision. tradesmen are desperately needed.
I’m Canadian and I’ve made friends with many new comers to my country. What pisses me off the most is my friends who are Doctors or Engineers in their country having to come here and basically start from scratch and go back to school. That’s appalling and we have a medical crisis right now they need these people. And if you don’t have a family doctor you will be waiting a looong time to see a doctor. Hmm also the rent and food and everything exploded to astronomical proportions. So I’m not sure how they can exist, I would recommend applying for low income housing in the government system which will be oppressive for sometime but if you are diligent and pass all the schooling and hoops you may be able to create what you wish.
Ya have educated immigrants compete for public housing while Canadians live in tents.
Your taking doctors and engineers from impoverished countries, a brain drain. Do you feel bad for advocating for that, creating a medical crisis in the countries that invested money into making those doctors and engineers. society pays a cost for each doctor it produces.
We are considering moving to canada from germany. Many people are commenting about the taxes and living costs being high. But the situation in Germany is currently much worse. We have much higher taxes and the living costs are skyrocketing. Canada may not be the cheapest country but with the social system and nature etc the best alternative and cheaper than Germany. What do you think?
That sounds reasonable. In your profession in high demand in Canada?
@@MakeThatChange I don’t know it is Teer 2 but I don’t know if my current jobexperience would be acknowledged in canada. I am originally a certified insurance salesman but currently I am working as a rail traffic controller since 2020.
you might want to consider to do some research on what field/profession is in higher REAL demand in Canada. Start by studying the job market and even sending out resumes to positions.
Based on our experience, insurance has plenty of postings, but also many people competing for it - it might be challenging as the outlook for this profession in Canada is fairly moderate, license would be an asset, but you'd also need to gain an understanding of specifics of insurance market in Canada.
Rail traffic control might require some certification as well, and there are very few positions open at any given time - but worth a try!
I found Germany relatively inexpensive. Unless you’re in Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart or Hamburg that is.
Dont do it. It sucks here. Seriously.
My girlfriend is Canadian, I am a Dutch (the Netherlands) citizen. Interesting journey to find out were is the best future for us. She has a good career in education and she will have options to work in europe as well (as teachers are very in demand).

Sounds just like moving to anywhere else. At this point just go to jail n live there for the rest of ur life and chill.
try living in jail and let us know how it goes. We will interview you.
What I like about this channel is transparency. Everything I just heard from the video is the reflection of what I see people feel when the come to Canada. Immigration has never been easy. but even me started to think why I’d made this step. If you have nothing to lose in your own country , I say GO for it buddy
🙌🙌
For those of us in the USA losing our rights, it’s still looking appealing.
I appreciate you talked about " safety " because this is the main reason I came to Canada and it has no price. Being gay from a Muslim country and from a Muslim family. I was a victim of physical abuse all my childhood and adulthood inside the house and outside. Just for not being straight. As soon as I got the opportunity to move to Canada, I didn't hesitate and I am very happy to be safe and not live in fear anymore. I don't care about all the difficulties, I work hard and I accept the fact that nowhere is perfect in the world, I appreciate the positive side and I accept the downsides. I am very happy every morning because I am here.
This 👆🏻👆🏻so glad you’ve made the move and you’re safe now 💕
Gay marriage became legal in Canada 10 years ahead of the USA. That is because in Canada, if it is not about hockey, then no one cares what team you are on.☺
10:10 that's exactly why I'm thinking about immigrating to Canada! So, I'm a young romanian citizen(born&raised) and have fully benefited out of the EU laws of free movement and labour market, I lived& worked in the UK before Brexit, lived&worked in The Netherlands, in Spain and I have recently tried Finland. I have a in-demand job with more-then-average salary being a truck driver, I was well-paid in all of Europe's countries that I mentioned above but not integrated anywhere...at all. The UK was most welcoming for me, the Brits being very open-minded and well used to immigrants! So, after 13 years of living in Western Europe I can say that language barrier is a major turn-off, conservative menthality, discrimination and even rasism is still very present, especially towards people from eastern Europe. After all these years I feel used, everybody just pays you for your job and than dispose of you! It's all a big joke, millions of easterners are working in Western Europe, go to work, get paid and then go home in their own little communities that are well-tied with their home-country. You're treated fair, not nice, your life is good but not thriving, you're not culturally assimilated, nobody cares about your integration, in most cases they don't even want you to get too comfortable, some even try to make your life or job harder just to mess with you because they're mean and racist...So what the E.U. did, at least in my POV is they focused A LOT more on immigrants from outside the EU, mostly from Middle east, than on our own populations! Another important and scary factor for me is the war in Ukraine, of course....How and when will it end? How will Europe look then, or in 10 years or 15? Will we ever be more independent in the energy sector? How will the transport sector look like in Europe in the next 15 years? The European Comission highly neglected our trucking industry in the last 20 years, using cheap labour techniques on us(easterners) and now that they can't do it on us anymore they started importing people from Pakistan, India, Phillipines wich work half our wages, or even less, imperialism and slavery never really died in Europe! Remember that! Anyway, thinking that I spent 13 years in Europe makes me think why don't I spend the next 13 years in Canada and see how that goes...I mean, I've given a chance to Europe and didn't really payed off when it comes to social status, integration, cultural assimilation. So I would much rather move into a new country where there are immigrants everywhere, they're welcomed, the country is basically made out of immigrants, throw myself into the mix, invest my money made in Europe, set myself up with a small company, buy myself a truck and start truckin' in America(CA+US). Given the fact that I already was an immigrant at 22 in western Europe, I do have the experience with immigration, so that's another bonus! Canada is not doing very well? well, Europe is doing HORRIBLY, so I'm not really scared of that! Canada has to tough it the fck out! This is actually a test for Canada and immmigrants to canada! Who ever had a Canadian dream will not leave, will stiffen that upper lip and keep going, do some protest, overthrow the government, whatever, man! People who didn't really have a Canadian dream will be the first to move out! Those who will take the risks, will win....it was the same with the first europeans immmigrating to the US, or the Americans that start going West, they were fighters, risk takers, ambitious MEN and WOMEN that gained my respect! That's what America is all about! I've been testing my will with your videos, so THANK YOU for that! Nothing changed, challenge accepted, I will arrive in Canada in the next 6months to 2 years! Ohh, and you say some people are leaving??? That's great!!! More opportunities for me! That's a go-getter menthality! That's what you need to succesfully integrate in a new country and the road to citizenship! It's STIFF vs SOFT...America is all about STIFF! 40 years from now I will be an old but proud man, that little bits of 2064 Canada was built with goods that me and my truck carried all around this big beautiful country and I might build there my family too, as I never really could in the racist, segregated, un-federal, arrogant Europe! I think Canada needs me, and I need Canada! ;) got hick-ups? Level them! Let's try using a truck! :))) a joke, of course, it's infinitely more complex than that, but...I think we live in a scenario in wich history repeats itself, again there's a war in Europe, there's masses of people movin' around in the world, the world is re-setting itself, there's lots of pain and lots of opportunities! I hope by the time the re-setting is over and things are quiet again I'll be well-integrated in Canada!
Over the past several years Canada has let in way more immigrants than there are jobs or housing for. An election is over a year away at which time a conservative government will get elected resulting in less immigration, smaller government, less regulation, more housing being built and an increase in private sector investment in projects that currently require too much red tape to proceed.
Very Amazing Video. One of the best out there.
thank you - glad you appreciated it!
Those were some sensible graphs...
☺️
I have watched a lot of those kinds of videos, but yours is the best ( duuh lol)... Especially with the four diagrams... Very clear way to make a final decision... But in my case, i dont feel safe in my country so it is a no brainer that i should move in....
Amazing breakdown. Loved it ❤❤❤. Thanks a lot.
Glad you liked it!
wow really good explanation, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
My coming to Canada is just to get the passport
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Then you are really not welcome here. Go home.
Simple, I am from the Netherlands and I will not trade my country for another, maybe Danmark, Norway, Switzerland or Sud-Tirol ( North Italy ) as almost everything is well arranged here. Living quality, safety, facilities, work, insurances, infrastructure and the list is long....very long. Perfect? No, we have issues and living costs are not cheap but incredibly high standard on daily basis and very good acces to public facilities. Police, fire department, ambulance and intelligence services are working great. At some areas in the bigger cities I will not go ( same story all over the Globe ) but in terms of living, options, income, food, transport etc etc I will not change my country :) Will I visit Canada? Yes I will! I am about to plan a trip for 2024, latest 2025 ( expensive yes yes!) to discover some of natures extreme beauty and hopefully meet some new nice people. Lot of Dutch do have a special connection with Canada, so I must go, I have to experience some tiny bit of that giant country!
Holland is a great country!
sweden, norway, finland have the same nature as canada and perhaps more beautiful
well as someone who came out of gaza with nothing on me and i wasn't even able to finish my last year in college...do you have any advice for me? thx to my canedian relative we got out but a new life with nothing to my name is scaring me immensely...
First, I am deeply sorry you had to leave your home, no one should ever be forced to leave home. Secondly, glad to hear you're safe. Our advice would be to stay strong, be open to learning how the new culture and society works. Pick up where you left off with studies, if you loved what you were studying. Canadian government and banks provide student loans at low to no interest rates that you don't have to repay until after several years after your graduation. Tap into your own community where you are, make friends.
Don't be scared about having nothing on your name - you have relatives to say the least, you also have an opportunity to start your life from scratch, and hopefully maybe even make a positive change in this horrible world.
Wishing you all the best! If you want to stay connected with other newcomers, make sure to join our facebook group!
Thank you for the quadrants, I definitely fit in the red cross third quadrant. I won’t move to Canada but I will get my PR card already.
Right on!
I dont mind the challenges since i dont have any degrees etc my country far worse than Canada, what i want to aks is it possible to find minimum wage jobs or is it true that there are barley any jobs left😅?
There’s a ton of minimum and average wage jobs in Canada. Whoever says there are no jobs are just doing it for the hype of bashing Canada.
Only if you really have to move to Canada. US is still way better choice. Many reasons not to. Forget about a house, having kids extremely hard, etc. I know the video shows a different picture, but trust me, bad idea. 10 years ago maybe, but not now.
I think it depends on the lifestyle you want to have. Even for us, there's pros and cons for both as we think about - our next 10 years.
I wouldn't recommend anyone move to the US. We are becoming a white-race, forced birth, no women or racial rights, and intolerance for anyone who isn't straight and white.
Very good video. People really do need to think carefully about their situations before moving to any other country Canada or even the USA. Your points are very clear and well thought out.
Also the most in demand skills are actually plumbers, welders trade skills type of people. Lots of Canadians are getting old and retired. We need trade skills and medical field say nurses and doctors the most. Getting certified for trade skills is very doable here with college certificates or training programs that would give you official canadian certificates. Tradesmen easily get jobs and their pay is decent. IT people should go to the USA or even stay home and work remote to save money.
thank you for an eloquent summary!
I’ll visit first before I would make my decision
Good call
This question is for everyone who can give me some perspective ❤ I currently live in Israel-Palestine, so there’s a war, insane Islamophobia and racism, political persecution, a fascist government and TLV is in the top 10 most expensive cities in the world (for reference - Toronto is 99 on the same list). I realize no place is perfect, but I’m willing to take the risk because things are grim here. Also, I freelance so I can work remotely. Do you think in my position it could be good to move to Canada?
Provided you can get a PR or a visa to Canada, it sounds like it's worth the try. Freelancing might be tricky from taxation perspective, but being able to freelance and work when you move - is a big advantage, provided you can afford it.
Thank you so much! I pay very high taxes here as well as a freelancer.. do you know where I should look for info about freelancing in Canada?
FIrst check for what immigration programs you could qualify for on www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.html
Next, check out the Self-Employed section on that website - as a freelancer, you will likely be considered self-employed. You might want to consider incorporation as well. All details can be found there!
Thanks 😊

I really appreciate and love the way you guys present a reality check to people whom looking to immigrate to Canada.
Thank you! 🙏
What about a Criteria in which someone is getting a real hard time getting a job in their current residing country & the Pros of Caanada (like Free Health Care , Free education till 12th Grade in Public Schools , Low Crime Rate & most importantly not getting your VISA cancelled due to getting fired) entice them...
Job market in Canada has been funky too lately. If it is hard for you to find a job in the country you're already familiar with, what makes you think it'll be easier in Canada?
@@MakeThatChange Interesting Point.I would like to add that: The residing country i am comparing with is a very small country.A rough comparison between the two is : > Residing Country Population - 2 Million Vs Canada - 40 Million.
I suspect if you asked Americans who moved there if they would move back to the USA - right now - I would guess most would say no.
*Low security country.
*24 year's old. No high education degree.
Will it be worth it to emigrate and study in Canada to build my life there?
Good video, makes me think twice about making decisions.
And thanks for the answer's for who will reply!
If you can afford education in Canada - absolutely worth giving it try. Make sure you do research in the most in demand and well paid professions, if you haven’t made a decision on what you want to study. Also be ready for some difficulties along the way, and stay strong, it will pass!
@@MakeThatChange спасибо вам

How about the case of a family..
My wife’s a care aid in Interior Health there but on leave since we just have our baby last year and im here in the US (a citizen) working, often visit them.
What basis will be the case to consider, go here in the US or move to Canada?.
Hiiii, im looking health insurance for my working holiday visa, any recommendation?
A living wage in Canada for a single person is $50,000 a year. This is a basic entry level requirement.
I'm moving to Canada soon on a work permit (1 year) and the reason why is because i want to gain both work and life experience. I have a very good life in my country and a stable income. Is it stupid of me to think this way?
I'm from Spain I'm kitchen helper is it worth it to move and how much they pay I'm solo I don't have family
Ye do it !!
I am considering moving to Canada from China as a marketer with over 8 years of work experience. The thing is it is totally impossible for a worker to afford an apartment in my city where a remote apartment of 100 square meters is worth US$828,000. And as a local, I am supposed to pay 30% of the full price as a downpayment and spend the rest of my 30-40 years to pay off the mortgage. The worst part is that companies here prefer fresh graduates over experienced and expensive workers, so losing your job or starting to drive Didi (similar to Uber) at 35 is a likely future for everyone.
The way I see it, since I do international marketing, a lot of people in marketing from other countries are still loving what they are doing in their 50s or even 60s. That's why I am thinking of moving. China leaves me no choices. And I love choices.
Marketing is a fulfilling profession and can be well paid for experience professionals, but it’s also very competitive in Canada: there are a lot of marketers, and it’s one of the most popular bachelor degrees in business here. Be ready to network a lot, have a portfolio and hustle to land your dream job! Wishing you all the best!

Sure would be nice if some of your videos were about the Prairies or the Maritimes. There are so many different lifestyles available in Canada. Please don’t perpetuate the myth that Canada is just Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. This country is enormous!

Hello, what do you think about Hospitality field sector, does it have future in Canada?
lots of opportunities, but they aren't paid a lot
@@MakeThatChange Like what do you think about an average salary of 28 dollars per hour? do we meet ends?
Depends on the city. Toronto or Vancouver might be challenging, but not impossible - depending on whether you have a partner or live with roommates. Rent is expensice, do whatever you can to save on it.
@@MakeThatChange okay understood, ill be shifting to Newfoundland and labrador, as per your opinion is it really a cheap province to move into?
it is a remote province, so we recommend making sure you can find a job there as opportunities may be limited. Housing, food and transportation are generally cheaper.

When you talked about nurses and trade people you forgot to mention that they would need Canadian diplomas to perform trade or nursing via tests or degree. Developers are not doing that bad in Canada.
Great point, there are some changes happening next year making it easier for some professions( including nursing) to get licensed sooner.
I have a 5 year bachelor degree in medical laboratory science (a very high demand job in canada ) yet they have absolutely insane laws ! I got offered a job part-time ans they were willing to make it full time but they ended up withdrawing the offer because I couldn't get Canadian "driver license " for a job that is not related to driving at all !! Canada internationally wanna be crisis ! someone is benefiting from this lack of healthcare !!!
Sorry to hear that's happened to you. I do want to take a moment and celebrate that you landed a job in your field so soon, good job! Don't despair, it takes some time to adapt and understand the local laws, and then it will get better and easier. PREPARATION is everything - understanding the laws of the job market, building a resume and interviewing.
Driving license is a standard requirement for jobs that require some degree of mobility and independence.
Yup only IT people have an easier transition
Engineers can have a smooth transition too, if they do their homework ahead of arrival.
Same for logistics/supply chain and trades.
Can you do a video comparing Canada with Australia please?

* I cant even afford a house and a car here. Even if I get one here it will be really hard to achieve the other. And even if I achieve one it will be hard to maintain it with my countries current situation.
Hey! Ultimately it is your decision on whether you’re ready to make a big change. I’ve met many people coming to Canada for a masters degree and achieving a really successful life here. MBA is a great versatile degree, but I would recommend to specialize in something like finance or data. Take the best advantage of opportunities the university gives you - networking, student associations, applying for bursaries, extra projects etc. and you will be set for success.
It sounds like you’re making a well weighted decision to move to and study in Canada. We’re wishing you all the best.
Is it worth moving as a vet with a good degree, no student loans or debt and still at a young age?
Vets are in rather high demand in Canada, but the work can also be challenging since some places experience a vet shortage.
If you're a military Veteran please come to Canada. You will have opportunities because you are a Veteran.
please you talk about which is better move Canada or UK.
Depends on your profession, your financial situation and overall lifestyle you want to have. Can you share a little more about yourself?
Currently the situation in both countries is similar.
But the cost of living in UK is cheaper than Canada
Still way better to move to Canada, than to suffer in India.
My student visa has been approved also work permit for my husband and visas also for my children. I work at the airport as a supervisor in passenger service department. Salary is 900$ . What is your advice?

It's hard to tell without knowing more details, we also cannot evaluate your chances, since we are not immigration consultants.

Hi great video, I'm a 23 year old Electronics Engineer in South Africa would it be wise to move to canada alone.
no, don't do it
You nailed it with social protection and safety and security. IMO, these are THE most important reasons to consider moving to Canada. Wealth and skills can be acquired and quantified and are secondary, assuming one can meet basic needs. Peace and stability cannot be quantified nor are they easily acquired. There are plenty of (born in Canada) Canadians who would not consider themselves wealthy or who are otherwise underemployed. That’s life. Newcomers need to face that reality (as do old stock Canadians) and set realistic expectations. If they think they will transition somehow from lower middle income status in their home country to living in Canada as part of the 1%, it ain’t gonna happen. Will they be looked after? Yes. Countries are literally like real estate on a Monopoly board. It’s location, location, location. Those with the most to offer, are generally more costly. It’s obviously a personal choice as you correctly point out but those who leave to places that offer far less than Canada does leave me shaking my head.
So well said! Thank you for articulating it so well🙏🙌
Greetings, I am currently pursuing my bachelor's in computer science (4th year) in india.I applied to uni of Ottawa and univ of windsor (concentration in AI and applied computing) . I wish to become either a full stack developer or a data scientist coz i already knew both of these . Is it a right time to move to canada ? Or should i need to look back other countries like Eg. Ireland,Uk? Currently I'm in a big confusion 🙂
Hi! AI is a great concentration to study with great opportunities and salary. It all depends on whether you can afford the cost of living and studying in Canada. UK and Ireland aren’t cheap either, if not more expensive. The biggest reason many criticize Canada is cost of living - the reality is, it’s about the same as most other developed metropolitans. Personally, we think the timing to move to Canada is as good as it’s ever been.
I work in cybersecurity in Singapore im not earning enough to support my family :( but i see wages in Calgary that range $30-50/h for a similar job with less years of experience is it worth moving?
It’s a complex question to answer. Is the salary and income the only reasons why you want to move? Are you ok with a potential drastic lifestyle and climate change?
Singapore is a much more comfortable city than any city in Canada to be honest, and your lifestyle and even food quality will differ quite a lot. Think about whether you’re willing to make these adjustments just for the salary, if that’s the biggest reason to move.
Overall, we recommend to study the job market in cybersecurity, start networking - connect with a few calgary-based cybersecurityprofrsssinals and get their insights on the job market.
@@MakeThatChange I find my upbringing and work life here extremely stressful. But when complaining to my colleagues, they think i'm spoiled i don't know if working 50hours a week is normal? for the IT sector? I'm seeing online listings on indeed for the similar positions paying way higher than what i'm earning here. I'm also not a fan of the stressful fast-paced life it feels like every day i'm just wasting away i come home with barely any time for myself. I'm the sole breadwinner i've got to support my mom and little sister. It's also very hot and crowded here it feels gross to inevitably make skin contact with people on public transport every day. My options are Canada, New zealand, australia but i've got great-relatives in canada so that's my only point of contact. I just want to settle in a town with a backyard for myself and commute to my workplace or work remotely (which a lot of companies in SG avoid despite it being perfectly reasonable to)
Depending on the company, it may be similarly stressful in Canada too, but generally speaking, Canadians value worklife balance a lot. It sounds like between the options youv'e described Canada might be the most suitable option, it will provide the best opportunities in your field, and having relatives around makes it A LOT easier to adapt to the new life.
Begin by getting a feel of the job market in Calgary in cybersecurity, connect with a few department directors in IT/cybersec companies, connect with local recruiters. This will help you evaluate your chances and reduce the risk of being stuck in your job search.
I'm planning to do my ms in finance, Is it demanding job in Canada? Should I go study finance there? I confused between Canada and Germany, where should I go for my master? I will appreciate if anyone help me

Can you talk about people who leave a country like Australia to go to Canada? I’m Colombian with an student visa in Australia and I want to know if it’s a good decision, thank you!
It depends on what you do, what's the demand for your job on Canadian job market and your networking skills.
Additionally it depends on where you see yourself in 5-10 years, what's your goal? Career success? Cheaper education? or a pretty blue passport?
Also keep in mind that Canadian climate is different from Australia and Colombia. However, the US is right across the border. It's advantageous to have such an economically strong neighbor, depending on your job it might be useful to you
Australia is way better
