You are the kind of immigrant Canada loves. Your videos are wonderful so is your energy. Keep up the great work you make Canada proud to have you as one of her many sons.
I went threw the same thing , started at the bottom with a degree... But ! It really helped me by doing that and did not take me long to get to were I wanted to be In Canada, something I could not do In my old Country, I have no regrets at all, even when I worked at low paying jobs I survived just fine , In fact I met some of my best friends at these low paying jobs that I have to day, great people, a Great Country...I know now why Canadians are so proud... and they should be , we are all equal which I love, your not were I came from...God Bless Canada. This Is were I will Die , and I would die to defend this Great Country any time I had to..Thx for the vid...And YES it was worth the struggle. I struggled for 25 year's In my old Country and got no were, I struggled for 4 year's In Canada and I have everything I have ever wanted...It's not perfect..No Country Is, But I have come as close to It...and that Is fine by me.
You are so real in your struggles.some people sugar coat their experience in Canada.what they did to be where they are, but you don't.Continue being real to your information .
I just love the way you speak the Truth about things which others even dont want to. You talk in a very relaxed and friendly way. Got to know lots and lots more about Canada from you than everybody put together!! Regards from India.
Igor is as truthful as one gets. I first landed in Canada back in 2008 after having spent 4 yrs prior to waiting for my PR application approval. I have a BSc Business from the UK and over 15 solid years of corporate experience back in SE Asia. My last job was a Senior Manager position but I had to literally start from ground zero when I began to search for my first job(one can't really apply for jobs while you are back in your home country). It wasn't pretty but I took it to the chin. I once had a Director in my previous workplace only had Grade 12 and was a wash bay attendant...you go figure lol! To cut long story short, it is not what you know but who you know. One has to lower(go rock-bottom) your expectations and keep grinding and eventually you will make it...on your own merit. I may be a Canadian citizen now but life is bittersweet. And remember this, being a visible-minority is a disadvantage like it or not - but don't let that deter you! All the best!
There is also this thing called "Canadian Experience" that companies in canada have which is just one more excuse that they've been using for years now to exploit people as cheap semi-slavery labor force and to isolate people even more, to increase even more the division among immigrants. What they do not realize is that by doing this they only increase the incentive for people to becoming illegal immigrants even more, since this whole system makes it way harder for people to follow the rules "legally". I feel so sad that talented and good-willed immigrants have to deal with stuff like this. Canada is not so "open and friendly" as they say. They should learn a lesson or two from their bigger neighbor USA. USA is still the most open and friendly place on earth, they really have a good spirit there, and that spirit attracts people of the same kind to their country. Canada loses with all of this. Authorities, take notes. Ruling by force will never work. Exactly because of this we also see lots of native born and raised canadians migrating down to USA, they feel isolated by the bureaucracy of their own country. This serves no one.
Thanks for your report, it's very important because it teaches us that canadians - even when you follow all the rules and do everything within the limits of the "law" - they are still complaining about you. One of the most racist and xenophobic countries on earth right now. Very different mindset than USA, that's why USA is still number 1.
So much true in your words Igor, from a former teacher who did all the process to get the license in Ontario and after 4 years I got it but I realized the bad working conditions for teachers here and having to change career here, I can identify in your reflections and I wish someone had told me about this before. I could have saved a lot of money and time. Congrats on your new house!
Oh my goodness, Igor, this video was REALLY good! I enjoyed this so much. Huge congrats on you and your wife's upcoming baby. Congrats on the beautiful house, and I'm so glad that you're enjoying yourself here in Canada. :)
Great Video Igor. You are spot-on. Very well said. "it's not what you know, but who you know". After living 20 years in Canada . I have experienced everything. It's easy to assimilate to Canada and nice place.
I am not sure about this area of expertise. There should be many openings in this area.First, you need to be in Canada to apply for most jobs. Most employers don't want to go through the paperwork of sponsoring applicants.
Hey Igor, I lived in Toronto for 14 years and moved back to Eastern Europe a couple years ago. Honestly, I'm making way more money in Romania as a factory owner than I ever did in Canada. I realize every persons situation is different but you can definitely live decently in Eastern Europe if you're a business owner/investor. Your videos are pretty cool, keep up the good work!
that’s cool that you opened a factory here. It’s hard to save any money if you just work here in Romania. I’m from Romania too, computer science engineer and I dont see a bright future here, in romania, just make enough money to survive from one month to another. I dont smoke/drink do drugs, nothing that can vanish my budget and still I dont have money. I read books every day, about saving, investing, hopefully I’ll do better
@@andreeav1082 I got pretty lucky, tbh. I got approved for a bank loan a couple years ago, but I still had to put a down payment of 20%. It's not easy to run a business in Romania but I wasn't making much progress career wise in Canada, either. The competition was insane in Toronto.

Good job IGOR, thank you for putting this important topic on the table and educate Canadians including me. I arrived to this beautiful country 5 years ago and it is truly an opportunity to start life here. I have met bad people like the part where u describe u were smiling to random people and they be like "do you have a problem" haha and ive met good people who taught me the beauty of appreciating many things that i dislike in the beggining. Canada is beautiful country to live.
Hi Igor, how’s everything? I’m from Brazil, congratulations for your channel, My son and his wife they live in Ontario about 4 years, and soon he’ll can sponsor my family to move to Canada, I have been there twice, I loved everything, culture, the people, the lifestyle, so, that’s my short history about Canada.bye
Native Polish here. Left my country when I was 21 and moved to England. Lived there 13years and that country has changed my entire mentality, did open my mind and took that negativity and criticism away.. Then, two years ago I moved with my family to France. It is hard to be back in closed minded society, surrounded by people who only think their way is the only way.. I miss the multiculturalism that English speaking countries have.. I miss open culture and positive attitude.. I gave a go here in France, got the language to à decent level but.. My heart is not here.. So I will be moving myself and my family on 3years time, and Canada is on the top of my list.. Thank you for your channel, you have a new subscriber in me ❤️😊
@@TranceElevation Sometimes this happens, we have everything we possibly need but we still feel that "urge" to move somewhere else, or to at least try it. Then we arrive at the new place and we realize that what we had back home was better. There's nothing wrong with this. That's why you should always visit first before making such big decisions.
It's not all negative like you say in my opinion this sounds like your experience and not everyone has had your negative experience? Hard work willing to integrate then you will get what you want in life! nothing comes easy especially if you move to a completely different country! Think positive, work as hard as you can that's all you got to do
Wow! That's awesome! I've been following you since the beginning of your channel, and I'm really happy with your success! I hope to live in Canada very soon... Thanks for the videos!
You asked what our stories are. My story, Although I am not in Canada yet, is about emigrating from South Africa to Canada starting as an international student, getting Canadian work experience, drivers license, friends, cars, and eventually a couple of houses or apartments and rent them out. I'll work as hard as required of me to achieve this. I'll be escaping the corruption, poverty, racial inequality and low quality of life that's prevalent in South Africa. It's not that each of these things happened to me personally, but it's the effects of all of it adding up over 19 years that makes me want to leave here with a desperate heart. Your story is very motivational and I'm so glad I found your channel to make my move and the adjustment much easier. Your positive attitude is contagious! Keep doing what you're doing Igor ❤️👍🏻
Hi Flash. Best of luck. I'm also from SA and hoping to move my family there for the same reasons, SA is just getting too dangerous and there's hardly work. I hope you get there soon.
Flash 🇿🇦 Totally agree with you Flash! I’m also a south africa (living in Pretoria) and the amount of discrimination and hate that we as white minority have to deal with in this God forsaken s!ht hole africa is unbelievable! Next year I’ll be starting my immigration process to Canada! Keep strong the time has come to leave this scorched africa continent behind with all it’s troubles for a far better future in Canada!
Muchie It is one of the few countries where you don’t have to repeat your residency to work. If you are from most countries it will be almost impossible to get licensed to work as an MD in Canada.
I'm Canadian, I don't actually agree about being fake when you say "sorry" when bumping into someone, I think most of us actually are concerned about bumping into another person and are genuine when saying "sorry." I guess people just assume it's being fake because they find it different than what they are used to and think it must be fake because it's strange to them but I'd say no from my experience growing up in this culture. I also hold doors for others and they do for me and I am pleased to do it, makes me happy to have good feelings between myself and other Canadians! Another thing that is common is saying "excuse me/pardon me" when passing directly in front of someone as they are standing in front of a counter, shelf, or something/someone, etc. It's just a small gesture of showing respect but it's the small gestures that support a polite and pleasant environment for everyone. I even had a young, rebellious-looking teenager pass in front of me one time as I was standing at a shelf in a store and I thought he would forego this nicety and THEN I HEARD HIM WHISPER "sorry!" as he walked away, so even he couldn't completely stop himself! haha ;) P.S. My advice to immigrants, visa students, etc. is this... Yes, enjoy meeting other people from the same community BUT DO MIX WITH ALL CANADIANS, DON'T RESTRICT YOURSELF TO JUST YOUR GROUP! This is a big part of what leads to feelings of loneliness and separation and it also works against the benefits of even moving to a new country. You can't possibly enjoy the country and all it has to offer if you try to live a restricted existence and cut off other people. You will find that you will integrate yourself into the country and become much happier if you are open to meeting and talking to everyone.
If you listen again, you'll understand the context in which he says people in Canada are being fake. He made the example of someone being rude and slamming into another person and that person would still say "sorry" or "excuse me" while not really meaning it but just being nice. I think he was spot on there.
Sounds kinda too complicated for what Canada has to offer. Huge thank you for diving into all these topics in one video! It was very interesting inside view on life there
Canadians will complain about immigrants even when they follow all the rules and do everything by the law. Very different mindset than USA, which is still number 1 in the world when it comes to something called Human Empathy. Nothing compares to the American spirit. That's why there's a lot of canadians immigrating to USA too. Bitter people.
Plain and simple.. At the end.. What it really matters.. How peaceful we lived and how happy we made our loved ones.. If this promised by a country like Canada.. Its worth the move..
Canada does not promise anything, you will make things work here if your try, but don't come here expecting gold paved streets, you must work very hard, if you don't have a good education or a trade, don't bother, you will only get a minimum wage job and never succeed
@@richardrogers7479 If you are mad and feel betrayed by your bureaucratic government, go direct your anger and "bravery" at them, not towards immigrants. People who have real courage go fight the Big enemies, not the small desperate ones.
I am current a 4th year social work student and my dream is to work in Canada, however after watching your videos it is kind of scaring me since i have high expectation about Canada.
I’m open mindet. My wife have more papers than me here in the netherlands. I’m a industrial machine operator in the harbor in Rotterdam . My wife is accountant. So nothing change for me. Only gas prices. Way cheaper in canada
I know what canada wants. They already have thinkers. Students. People with educations. Canada wants workers. Hard workers with them hands! No talkers no thinkers. Just hard working man!
No, Canada is not for you if you want to make money. As a Canadian I can tell you we are heavily taxed to pay for all the services and benefits that we receive. Trouble is it is a horizontal system, were the government taxes the richest people to keep them within a certain living standard. If you "make" 80K/year after taxes you are only making about 2 to 2,5 times as much as someone working for the minimum wage. We do not get "free healthcare" as many Americans think, we pay for it through heavy taxation.
@@DS-jh4qk You can if you live a frugal life. However, most people choose to have the latest phone, bigger house, bigger car etc. Some Canadians live heavily indebted as a result, others live paycheck to paycheck. It depends on how you manage spending/saving your income. For example: 1- James making the minimum wage in Ontario (14/h pre tax) - makes about $2.000/month (net). 2 - Corey making $60.000/year pre tax (which is a good salary here). Actually makes about $3.800/month (net). So Corey is only 1,9 times richer than James. With a minimum wage in this range, you can expect housing, food, transportation, entertainment etc to be more expensive than in other countries. But the advantage of this horizontal system is that both James and Corey can afford to eat at the same restaurants, buy the same kind of services, roughly afford the same kind of entertainment etc.... So James is not really interested in stealing anything from Corey, he can simply go to work and afford almost the same kind of lifestyle.
@@IgorRyltsev Thanks Igor, I meant the Time you need to wait for the banks to lend you money, because as immigrants we dont have any credit record in Canada.
Hi thanks for posting. Very nice piece on Canada. You bring may true and valid points. I moved to Canada over 30 years ago and as a young man and it was a culture shock. After 10 years I moved to US. I returned to Canada three years ago and find here a lot of changes. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Any examples? What are the biggest things that come to your mind? Just curious. For me seems like Canada is a bureaucratic nightmare and that they did not learn any lessons from USA, that's my impression but it's possible that I am mistaken. That's why I'm asking.
Hello, thank you for your videos! I’m preparing my documents for migration but when I found out your channel and the reality that everyone tries to hide I started to doubt. Overall do you regret about moving to Canada? What about if you don’t have family, have no support, don’t have car drive experience? Im in a big doubt now... The most thing that bothers me is loneliness and poverty.
This sounds partially similar to me. Although I will have my mother's financial support from back home while I am there. I wish you the best for your journey, maybe see you in Canada in future 😬
Moving to another country is a HUGE step in everyones life for sure!! And to be honest everything is life have pros and cons. But, this is how i see it: I just breakdown all the pros and cons, along with my goals in life. i moved to Canada without having any family here. It was just me and 3 other friends. I came here without knowing how to cook, how to drive, and literally i was even afraid of speaking another language. But i have something 200% clear, I wanted to built a good life for myself and my future family. Once you're here, you will overcome every struggle, believe me. Its been almost 3 year of me living here, I marry the loved of my life and his family is the best family i could ever find here, and I DRIVE !!! lol We have been designed to take risks. Hope this helped!!
After 15yrs of stable job, good salary, investments, decent lifestyle, happiness and contentment with my career, established friendship with my colleagues, a very happy family of my own, I am about to leave the Philippines to try a new life in Canada and hopefully be able to bring my wife and kids there soon, after testing the waters.. You're right Igor, politics is a damn thing if run by damn persons making promises that sooner or later after taking their seats transforms into someone I haven't imagine them being like that.. I trusted and have learned enough, politicians will always be politicians..thanks for all these videos man.. I'm learning so much from you.. keep it up, you're helping thousands of people hoping to start a new life..God bless you and your family.
Keith, wow! Big step. When do you come to Canada? My wife and I have a live-in caregiver from the Phillipines... and we LOVE her. She is like part of the family. We are encouraging her to stay in Canada, go back to school, and bring over her family. I hope she stays! What type of work will you be doing here? Did you have to get a LMIA? Work permit?
Hello Igor. I really appreciate your channel and the work you put into it. I would really like to chat to you about how safe Canada is. I live in South Africa where it is really dangerous and we are planning on immigrating in next few years because of safety.
My Physio is from SA, the receptionist at the Physio clinic is also from SA and her husband is a farmer. One of the doctors in the health clinic is also from SA. They are very good people.
Yup its actuallyhell for white sa people living in sa i know whats going on there .sa people are denied asylum in many different countries is that true?
@@TheShiraz92 hi Shiraz. It is extremely difficult to get out of SA as a refugee even though it's becoming almost impossible to live here with any real quality of life. When my husband is out working I am literally too scared to leave the house because there is so much crime and I'm not even in one of the worst areas. It's getting so bad and it's really sad because the majority of people you meet are good people here, but the bad ones are really bad and they seem to be all over the place 😢
@@mzee5533 We would literally leave tomorrow if it were possible. We have a lot of expensive paperwork to do with limited funding at the moment, but yes, we need to leave ASAP
For me it's worth it to immigrate to Canada from Japan. First I am an artist so I can work in Japan and in Canada. Second Canadian banks have high interest rate. In Japan interest rate is 0% while in Canada 2.8% (it depends on the bank). I can get enough interest to pay for the apartment. Third health card is good. I had heart attack this summer. I had anjiogram and spent one night at ICU and for a week regular room. but I had to pay nothing.
The banks do not allow you to rent your mortgaged home here. Its usually in the fine print. However its rarely enforced as long as they get paid. The banks only care about the money flow. Without this rule everyone with a house would be landlords.
IgorRyltsev Yes normally they count a conservative rental rate accounting for not full occupancy and add it to your current income. Being a landlord can seem like easy money but can be a big pain sometimes. Tenants lack common sense often and some can’t do the most basic tasks.
Do people with business/marketing degrees (bachelors) (American degree) make money in Canada? I fell In love with Canada when I first stepped foot in. I’ll never forget that road trip from nyc to Toronto. I know there’s that American stigma over there but who cares.. you guys got a lot of cool stuff going on. I felt pretty welcomed there.
I’m in Canada now on a temporary resident visa and still thinking about permanently staying here. You mentioned good points with comparing life back home and starting all over again in a new place. What do you think about health care in 🇨🇦?
Hello Igor, your videos are really helpful. It really makes us thing from all prospective before making the big move. Just wanna know if you can help out in deciding which province is better other than BC and Toronto, where there are opportunities for newcomers.
Hi Igor ! Tell me is it easy to get contract on the companies if you got your own truck ? what type of truck is needed for delivary is it 6 tons , 8tons or 10 tons ? I want to move to Canada in a purpose of beeing an entrepreneur , so any ideas with companies that need truck ? How much can cost 6, 8 or tons truck close body second hand .
It's not like that everywhere? Of course a women with a better job than her man makes more money . If you divorce in Canada everything is split 50/50. The person who makes the most money will pay monthly support to the other after a divorce be it the man or woman.. Also the law applies even if you do not marry but live together, the separation will be treated just like a marriage divorce under the law.
Hi igor, i have a question, im a biologist and i'm planning to do a master degree in Canada related to environmental stuff, but do you know if there are oportunities in that area in Canada, specifically in Calgary and surroundings?
You would do better if you do the master's degree here if possible, that way you will be able to put a Canadian degree on your resume AND get possibly some opportunities to get to know employers more easily. Plus it helps with immigration if you have been a student in Canada.
Canada needs immigrants to help maintain and grow it population. We have an aging population that is putting a strain on the Canadian economy and social services. These immigrants are filling the employment gap and demands that Canadians are currently unable to fill. Please educate yourself and understand how the immigration system in Canada works. Without immigrants the Canadian economy would suffer.
Hey Igor is your guy Nivash from South Africa ...one question... "I would like to open my own business in Canada, what is the rental prices like for business premises in the restaurant business ect. " may be a video on commercial rental places in the area ?
yes true, choosing to immigrate to another country, i think it is _us_ that should accept and appreciate the existing culture instead of trying to enforce our own.
@Flav C I read somewhere that it's like 15% for the first 45k you make, then 20% for the next 50k. Or something along those lines ? Now this was in Toronto.. or is that just lies and it's around the 30% bracket?
Am so obsessed with this channel...I LIKE HOW YOU SAY THINGS NO SUGAR COATING OR BEATING AROUND THE BUSH..KEEP IT UP

Think positive, work as hard as you can that's all you got to do
Wow! That's awesome! I've been following you since the beginning of your channel, and I'm really happy with your success! I hope to live in Canada very soon... Thanks for the videos!
Great video. As a Canadian I think this is awesome info. 🇨🇦👌
i love igor's videos they are, totally genuine and incredibly honest with no sugar coating the truth.
Igor, once again you have nailed it👍...Damn good you are Igor, keep em coming. I'm a Fan
You asked what our stories are. My story, Although I am not in Canada yet, is about emigrating from South Africa to Canada starting as an international student, getting Canadian work experience, drivers license, friends, cars, and eventually a couple of houses or apartments and rent them out. I'll work as hard as required of me to achieve this. I'll be escaping the corruption, poverty, racial inequality and low quality of life that's prevalent in South Africa. It's not that each of these things happened to me personally, but it's the effects of all of it adding up over 19 years that makes me want to leave here with a desperate heart. Your story is very motivational and I'm so glad I found your channel to make my move and the adjustment much easier. Your positive attitude is contagious! Keep doing what you're doing Igor ❤️👍🏻
Hi Flash. Best of luck. I'm also from SA and hoping to move my family there for the same reasons, SA is just getting too dangerous and there's hardly work. I hope you get there soon.
Flash 🇿🇦
Are you a white SA, then I understand that you need to leave...
@@cassandrasheasby2705 Welcome guys we've a lot of SA doctors all over Canada
Flash 🇿🇦 Totally agree with you Flash! I’m also a south africa (living in Pretoria) and the amount of discrimination and hate that we as white minority have to deal with in this God forsaken s!ht hole africa is unbelievable! Next year I’ll be starting my immigration process to Canada!
Keep strong the time has come to leave this scorched africa continent behind with all it’s troubles for a far better future in Canada!
Muchie It is one of the few countries where you don’t have to repeat your residency to work. If you are from most countries it will be almost impossible to get licensed to work as an MD in Canada.
congratulations man! You deserve it! I've been watching your videos from the beginning and it's inspiring me too :)
Started watching you this week love the information and content of channel
I'm Canadian, I don't actually agree about being fake when you say "sorry" when bumping into someone, I think most of us actually are concerned about bumping into another person and are genuine when saying "sorry." I guess people just assume it's being fake because they find it different than what they are used to and think it must be fake because it's strange to them but I'd say no from my experience growing up in this culture. I also hold doors for others and they do for me and I am pleased to do it, makes me happy to have good feelings between myself and other Canadians! Another thing that is common is saying "excuse me/pardon me" when passing directly in front of someone as they are standing in front of a counter, shelf, or something/someone, etc. It's just a small gesture of showing respect but it's the small gestures that support a polite and pleasant environment for everyone. I even had a young, rebellious-looking teenager pass in front of me one time as I was standing at a shelf in a store and I thought he would forego this nicety and THEN I HEARD HIM WHISPER "sorry!" as he walked away, so even he couldn't completely stop himself! haha ;)
P.S. My advice to immigrants, visa students, etc. is this... Yes, enjoy meeting other people from the same community BUT DO MIX WITH ALL CANADIANS, DON'T RESTRICT YOURSELF TO JUST YOUR GROUP! This is a big part of what leads to feelings of loneliness and separation and it also works against the benefits of even moving to a new country. You can't possibly enjoy the country and all it has to offer if you try to live a restricted existence and cut off other people. You will find that you will integrate yourself into the country and become much happier if you are open to meeting and talking to everyone.
If you listen again, you'll understand the context in which he says people in Canada are being fake. He made the example of someone being rude and slamming into another person and that person would still say "sorry" or "excuse me" while not really meaning it but just being nice. I think he was spot on there.
Congratulations in advance, Angel is arriving right to your home.. Love from India
Sounds kinda too complicated for what Canada has to offer. Huge thank you for diving into all these topics in one video! It was very interesting inside view on life there
Canadians will complain about immigrants even when they follow all the rules and do everything by the law. Very different mindset than USA, which is still number 1 in the world when it comes to something called Human Empathy. Nothing compares to the American spirit. That's why there's a lot of canadians immigrating to USA too. Bitter people.
@@FeelingShred False.
Congratulations! for the house. Looks beautiful from here.
Svaka cast Igore na realnoj i zivotnoj prici za Canadu.
Postupak imigracije moze inbox.
Thank you, Igor! Keep it up!
Plain and simple.. At the end.. What it really matters.. How peaceful we lived and how happy we made our loved ones.. If this promised by a country like Canada.. Its worth the move..
Canada does not promise anything, you will make things work here if your try, but don't come here expecting gold paved streets, you must work very hard, if you don't have a good education or a trade, don't bother, you will only get a minimum wage job and never succeed
@@richardrogers7479 If you are mad and feel betrayed by your bureaucratic government, go direct your anger and "bravery" at them, not towards immigrants. People who have real courage go fight the Big enemies, not the small desperate ones.
I am current a 4th year social work student and my dream is to work in Canada, however after watching your videos it is kind of scaring me since i have high expectation about Canada.
It's a useful video for new comers and who wants to move to Canada. Thanks for this video.
Keep your sincere experiences thank you fr your efforts
IM MOVING TO OTTAWA ONTARIO 2020 FROM SOUTH AFRICA LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
fuck man. im broke, i aint gonna be able to move here for another 10 years
Enjoy and welcome. Check out this Canadian song

It's all about who you know here in Canada. Facts
It helps to know people in ANY country but it's certainly not all about who you know. FACTS.
I’m open mindet. My wife have more papers than me here in the netherlands. I’m a industrial machine operator in the harbor in Rotterdam . My wife is accountant. So nothing change for me. Only gas prices. Way cheaper in canada
I know what canada wants. They already have thinkers. Students. People with educations. Canada wants workers. Hard workers with them hands! No talkers no thinkers. Just hard working man!
No, Canada is not for you if you want to make money. As a Canadian I can tell you we are heavily taxed to pay for all the services and benefits that we receive. Trouble is it is a horizontal system, were the government taxes the richest people to keep them within a certain living standard. If you "make" 80K/year after taxes you are only making about 2 to 2,5 times as much as someone working for the minimum wage. We do not get "free healthcare" as many Americans think, we pay for it through heavy taxation.
Can u tell me can u save money
@@DS-jh4qk You can if you live a frugal life. However, most people choose to have the latest phone, bigger house, bigger car etc. Some Canadians live heavily indebted as a result, others live paycheck to paycheck. It depends on how you manage spending/saving your income.
For example:
1- James making the minimum wage in Ontario (14/h pre tax) - makes about $2.000/month (net).
2 - Corey making $60.000/year pre tax (which is a good salary here). Actually makes about $3.800/month (net). So Corey is only 1,9 times richer than James.
With a minimum wage in this range, you can expect housing, food, transportation, entertainment etc to be more expensive than in other countries. But the advantage of this horizontal system is that both James and Corey can afford to eat at the same restaurants, buy the same kind of services, roughly afford the same kind of entertainment etc....
So James is not really interested in stealing anything from Corey, he can simply go to work and afford almost the same kind of lifestyle.
I loved this video, that is what i needed !!
Glad you liked it! :))
The way you explain is easy to understand for every country people. Please start making vlogs we would love to watch.
Hey, thanks for sharing your experience. How much time does it take you to buy your house?
5% Down-payment
@@IgorRyltsev Thanks Igor, I meant the Time you need to wait for the banks to lend you money, because as immigrants we dont have any credit record in Canada.
Hi thanks for posting. Very nice piece on Canada. You bring may true and valid points. I moved to Canada over 30 years ago and as a young man and it was a culture shock. After 10 years I moved to US. I returned to Canada three years ago and find here a lot of changes. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Any examples? What are the biggest things that come to your mind? Just curious. For me seems like Canada is a bureaucratic nightmare and that they did not learn any lessons from USA, that's my impression but it's possible that I am mistaken. That's why I'm asking.
Hope next year I will move Canada as a automotive technician 👩🔧
Jamaican here🇯🇲🇯🇲.
Hello, thank you for your videos! I’m preparing my documents for migration but when I found out your channel and the reality that everyone tries to hide I started to doubt. Overall do you regret about moving to Canada? What about if you don’t have family, have no support, don’t have car drive experience? Im in a big doubt now... The most thing that bothers me is loneliness and poverty.
This sounds partially similar to me. Although I will have my mother's financial support from back home while I am there. I wish you the best for your journey, maybe see you in Canada in future 😬
Flash 🇿🇦 thank you man! Wish you good too, it would be great to support and encourage each other at foreign country)
Trust me it's not worthed I've been here for almost 9 years now and looking for a way out
Moving to another country is a HUGE step in everyones life for sure!! And to be honest everything is life have pros and cons. But, this is how i see it: I just breakdown all the pros and cons, along with my goals in life. i moved to Canada without having any family here. It was just me and 3 other friends. I came here without knowing how to cook, how to drive, and literally i was even afraid of speaking another language. But i have something 200% clear, I wanted to built a good life for myself and my future family. Once you're here, you will overcome every struggle, believe me. Its been almost 3 year of me living here, I marry the loved of my life and his family is the best family i could ever find here, and I DRIVE !!! lol We have been designed to take risks. Hope this helped!!
Next Stop: Canada Wow thats great! Happy for you))) Thank you for inspiring me!
After 15yrs of stable job, good salary, investments, decent lifestyle, happiness and contentment with my career, established friendship with my colleagues, a very happy family of my own, I am about to leave the Philippines to try a new life in Canada and hopefully be able to bring my wife and kids there soon, after testing the waters.. You're right Igor, politics is a damn thing if run by damn persons making promises that sooner or later after taking their seats transforms into someone I haven't imagine them being like that.. I trusted and have learned enough, politicians will always be politicians..thanks for all these videos man.. I'm learning so much from you.. keep it up, you're helping thousands of people hoping to start a new life..God bless you and your family.
Keith, wow! Big step. When do you come to Canada? My wife and I have a live-in caregiver from the Phillipines... and we LOVE her. She is like part of the family. We are encouraging her to stay in Canada, go back to school, and bring over her family. I hope she stays! What type of work will you be doing here? Did you have to get a LMIA? Work permit?
I like the fact that you are soo truthful and educative. I like your channel.
Please keep it up.
Hello Igor. I really appreciate your channel and the work you put into it. I would really like to chat to you about how safe Canada is. I live in South Africa where it is really dangerous and we are planning on immigrating in next few years because of safety.
Do it Asap not years to come broer
My Physio is from SA, the receptionist at the Physio clinic is also from SA and her husband is a farmer. One of the doctors in the health clinic is also from SA. They are very good people.
Yup its actuallyhell for white sa people living in sa i know whats going on there .sa people are denied asylum in many different countries is that true?
@@TheShiraz92 hi Shiraz. It is extremely difficult to get out of SA as a refugee even though it's becoming almost impossible to live here with any real quality of life. When my husband is out working I am literally too scared to leave the house because there is so much crime and I'm not even in one of the worst areas. It's getting so bad and it's really sad because the majority of people you meet are good people here, but the bad ones are really bad and they seem to be all over the place 😢
@@mzee5533 We would literally leave tomorrow if it were possible. We have a lot of expensive paperwork to do with limited funding at the moment, but yes, we need to leave ASAP
For me it's worth it to immigrate to Canada from Japan.
First I am an artist so I can work in Japan and in Canada.
Second Canadian banks have high interest rate. In Japan
interest rate is 0% while in Canada 2.8% (it depends on the bank).
I can get enough interest to pay for the apartment.
Third health card is good. I had heart attack this summer. I had
anjiogram and spent one night at ICU and for a week regular room.
but I had to pay nothing.
日本🇯🇵はいいと おもうよ
I HV been following you early last year
The banks do not allow you to rent your mortgaged home here. Its usually in the fine print. However its rarely enforced as long as they get paid. The banks only care about the money flow. Without this rule everyone with a house would be landlords.
Where do you have this kind of information from? How about investment properties?
IgorRyltsev Exactly. This sounds wrong. Clearly if you have 2 mortgages from one bank they know you aren’t living in 2 places.
@@amyseaden9069 , they gave me more money knowing that one is a rental property. :)
IgorRyltsev Yes normally they count a conservative rental rate accounting for not full occupancy and add it to your current income. Being a landlord can seem like easy money but can be a big pain sometimes. Tenants lack common sense often and some can’t do the most basic tasks.
well I am trying to get prepared for immigration to Canada 🇨🇦😍🥰
If you are happy its worth it but if you are not then its not worth it
You are realy amazing Igor .....ukrain best people 😀.
Thanks a lot for this video......this should be 10 Milion view at least 👍.

Good one Igor!
Love your videos
Do people with business/marketing degrees (bachelors) (American degree) make money in Canada? I fell In love with Canada when I first stepped foot in. I’ll never forget that road trip from nyc to Toronto. I know there’s that American stigma over there but who cares.. you guys got a lot of cool stuff going on. I felt pretty welcomed there.
Are you saying Canada is better than USA? How many years/months or rather say weeks have you been there?
Thank you. You make think Canada 2020.
I’m in Canada now on a temporary resident visa and still thinking about permanently staying here. You mentioned good points with comparing life back home and starting all over again in a new place. What do you think about health care in 🇨🇦?
元気
Congratulations 🎊 to both of you. Immense love for soon to be new member of your family... From Mumbai 😊
Hello Igor, your videos are really helpful. It really makes us thing from all prospective before making the big move.
Just wanna know if you can help out in deciding which province is better other than BC and Toronto, where there are opportunities for newcomers.
Igor your house looks beautiful! You mentioned that you were doing work on it. What still needs to be done?
"what's up and welcome back...." I like how you start the video
Oooh your wife is Indian that’s why you know all about their culture ☺️ congratulations
I am a Canadian for half of my life i have lived in Canada I just moved to singapore
which one is better? life in singapore or canada? i am from indonesia btw
Why did u leave
Your house is looking beautiful. Can you do a house tour? How much it cost you.
You are so inspiring
Jezz Igor you're a survivor 😃. That's inspired me.
If a person moves to Canada for a job offer can there dependents move with them
Hi Igor !
Tell me is it easy to get contract on the companies if you got your own truck ? what type of truck is needed for delivary is it 6 tons , 8tons or 10 tons ? I want to move to Canada in a purpose of beeing an entrepreneur , so any ideas with companies that need truck ? How much can cost 6, 8 or tons truck close body second hand .
All the best.... 👍💞
It's not like that everywhere?
Of course a women with a better job than her man makes more money .
If you divorce in Canada everything is split 50/50. The person who makes the most money will pay monthly support to the other after a divorce be it the man or woman..
Also the law applies even if you do not marry but live together, the separation will be treated just like a marriage divorce under the law.
I am from Punjab ❤️🙏
Nice content Igor. I will be landing in Canada before the end of the year. Could you advise me on what site i can check for house renting?
Rentfaster.ca
In the end you succeeded and that's what's important, still it seems that canada helped you to. And that's why it's worth it for me.
When are you going to show us the house I mean that the walls are made of wood or bricks and from inside structures?
Hi igor, i have a question, im a biologist and i'm planning to do a master degree in Canada related to environmental stuff, but do you know if there are oportunities in that area in Canada, specifically in Calgary and surroundings?
You would do better if you do the master's degree here if possible, that way you will be able to put a Canadian degree on your resume AND get possibly some opportunities to get to know employers more easily. Plus it helps with immigration if you have been a student in Canada.
What if I’m a hairstylist/nail stylist/barber? Can I start a business in Canada?
No, already too many of that business in Canada
Спасибо Большое!
No, as a Canadian, stay where you are or move to the States.
True.. This guy is like selling out the coutry so people can come in..
What is the States pros & Canada cons?
@@mohamedfahad2936 dude savage😂
Canada needs immigrants to help maintain and grow it population. We have an aging population that is putting a strain on the Canadian economy and social services. These immigrants are filling the employment gap and demands that Canadians are currently unable to fill. Please educate yourself and understand how the immigration system in Canada works. Without immigrants the Canadian economy would suffer.
@@aarone18 maybe if our retarded government didn't tax us to poverty, Canadians would have more children.
Hey Igor is your guy Nivash from South Africa ...one question... "I would like to open my own business in Canada, what is the rental prices like for business premises in the restaurant business ect. " may be a video on commercial rental places in the area ?
Never knew you married an Indian. Congratulations brother.
He is so honest and humble

If you are from lebanon, Lebanese are every where lol that's true
Much love and blessings to you and your family. Keep up the good work effort is everything.
Your donation link is not working! Wanted to gift you!
You seem like a cool guy
There are companies in some countries in the world that won’t even look at you if you are an immigrant.
😔😔😔😔😫😫😫😫
WELL SAID! I LIKE THAT YOU SAID IMMIGRANTS NEED TO ADAPT TO US NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
yes true, choosing to immigrate to another country, i think it is _us_ that should accept and appreciate the existing culture instead of trying to enforce our own.
Jane J Dough absolutely otherwise you'll end up like us in the UK, a demonstration of the complete failure of multiculturalism
Anybody hear a high pitch noise in the video?
Can someone tell me what is the tax bracket in Canada? Is it 15% of your wage? Because that's exactly what it is here in Ireland
@Flav C I read somewhere that it's like 15% for the first 45k you make, then 20% for the next 50k. Or something along those lines ? Now this was in Toronto.. or is that just lies and it's around the 30% bracket?
@Flav C oh so its 35% from the start ? It doesn't go to 35% only after you earn the 45k??
I love your channel. I'm a new youtuber too here in Vancouver. Keep it up man
Nope our country sucks we have a corrupt government and high cost of living. If your a millionaire it’s a great place to live.
cool , I like ur Chanel bro
