So true! I have lived here for the past twenty years... and it could have been a great country.. It is such a gorgeous country, peaceful country and for a nature loving guy like me who wants to live in a peaceful community, free of pollution and nice breathable air, clean water , healthy foods with a very simple life this is heaven and iam extremely happy !!!! But then that's just me, you put me on any land and i will make myself happy and heathy as much as possible and try to spread the same positivity around ! But it has to be said, corrupted selfish self centered egotistical narcissistic leaders like Trudeau and other elites have cheated people, taken away their basic freedom, made stupid immigration laws, and never cared about people or their affordable housing, physical health or mental health. Iam not saying this from my state of mind , but i see so many depressed, unfulfilled, stressed, disillusioned, demotivated immigrants and they don't know where to go or what to do because life has come to a stage where returning to home countries is an almost impossible thought . This is hard to see, i wish they had some kind of happiness to look forward with hope continuing to live in this country. And for that to that to happen people have to start with getting rid of that dictator Trudeau, really stop or cutoff the immigration completely till issues are resolved , refugees be not given PR status and set agreement to return to their countries once the situation in their home countries improve ( failing so would make them illegal with serious consequences ) , foreign students be not given extended work permits and subsequent PR , prioritize jobs and housing for existing citizens and longterm residents and take care of crisis in the health sector! This has to be done with immediate effect, or it is going down the drain just like UK and Europe!!!! Facebook link : @iamsurdas

100% agree I'm 4th generation and it seems like they are just luring people in to scam them these days. Immigrants coming in have little chance of obtaining high end jobs due to lack of Canadian education/work experience and the cost of housing here is so absurd even locals can't afford it. I honestly can't say what our government is thinking any more. The economy is growing at barely over 1% and the population is growing at about 3%. Obviously this means per capita income is falling drastically.

In 1995, we, Quebeckers, were feeling freedom at the tip of our fingers. Of course, Canada cheated and loaded the referedum with votes from recent immigrants so that the result was 49,4% Yes instead. This time, we will not take it. Canada is hypocrite and manipulative, a scam for immigrants and they will use you against us again. Don't get between our people and independence. Canada is crazy and we, Quebeckers just want to become a normal country : not a country of immigration, a normal country with sustainable number of immigrants and one language, French, while knowledge of English will never be a requirement for most jobs. A normal, fair country. This is what we want and Canada denies us this.

Bro wow I just watched a few of your videos. I am a 35 year old Canadian. Between an online business and a seasonal construction job, I am able to travel outside Canada during the winters for the last several years. People always ask me how is Canada and I try to explain to them that it's not actually that great, only the nature is nice. But your videos articulate the problem extremely well. I can never recommend to anyone to move to Canada but couldn't explain so well as to why. I knew something weird was going on with real estate and immigration but now it is much more clear. Even for myself, I have two bachelors degrees (science and engineering) from Canadian universities, but I work a trades apprentice job. And when I come in for the summers, the rents have increased so much in Alberta since I started this pattern 6 years ago. I used to just find a room online for $500-$600/mo and be good to go, but now rents for a single room are minimum $1000, or a private flat $1500 or more. So now for this year and the previous one I am living at my parent's house. My online business makes a steady $22k CAD per year after tax (it's a YT channel), and when I come to Canada, my hourly rate from my job is $25/h, so my income jumps by about $3,200 per month after tax while I'm here. But if I pay for the regular cost of living in Alberta (rent:$1500, car insurance/gas:$400, groceries:$500, phone:$50, WiFi:$50, socializing:$200, timmies etc.:$100, miscellaneous purchases (tools for work, things for house):$150 = $2,950. So if I did all that, $3,200 - $2,950 = $250. It's a net increase of about $250 per month, in exchange for working 40 more hours per week of hard labour. What about saving for retirement, or occasionally buying new things like a future vehicle, furniture, electronics, down payment for a house, a plane ticket, etc... It's impossible. Only by living with family in my particular situation does my net income jump by about $1,000 per month, which is barely worth it for the effort. I am so lucky to have my online income to supplement the actual employment income here if I choose to stay. But for me now I see that it's probably better to stay outside of Canada and enjoy life on my online earnings rather than all this BS.

I feel your frustration. Canada is a great place to come if you have a university education and you can buy a home cash, no mortgage. Even then , you will need to be gainfully employed because the maintenance and cost of living add up quickly.

No life is not so affordable in smaller towns , this housing shortage is also driving prices and rents sky high and not only do immigrants get scammed but people who lived whole lives here are getting screwed. Especially older people who can no longer work like they are 20.

When I came to Canada with my parents I spent 8 hours doing health inspection and waited three years for the process. When we came here we struggled for a decade with my dad working three part-time jobs and my mom working two. I wore the same pair of shoes for three years until the soles fell out. Then I bought another pair for $17 from Zellars with the money I made delivering newspaper. I didn’t eat lunch three days of the week at school. A pizza from Pizza Hut was luxury to me. My mom would tell me two weeks ahead that we were having pizza for dinner and I would look forward to it for the whole time. My parents worked their asses off for the life that they have today. Until this day I still love pizzas from Pizza Hut because of their special place in my heart. We never asked for any handouts. Never lined up for any free toys or food. No one helped us and we made it. Now I am planning to go to Texas to go back to school so I can try to stay there after. I had more hope 20 years ago than now.

Canada is definitely a beautiful place, but immigration has seriously gotten out of control. It's not that we don't have space, it's that they keep coming into Vancouver and Toronto. The cities are already crowded and they're not building near enough affordable housing because that doesn't seem to be a priority. We have tons of empty space, just not in Vancouver and Toronto.

I´m a software engineer as well, and I moved to another country just like you. I think the only problem with your logic here is to assume that a family of 5 should be able to live comfortably with just one salary and be able to travel and/or save money as well. If your wife worked and made even just half of what you make, you would be saving at least 40k every year. With just the first 40k you could make the downpayment for that house in Calgary or wherever. Stop making excuses and your life will improve drastically. Or, option B, return to your country, and let us know how that goes.

And jobs in Canada are about to start vanishing en masse. Good luck surviving Canada cleaning wealthy Canadian's toilets & cutting their lawns while earning $15 hr but paying $3000+ per month to rent an apartment or $1 Million to buy even the cheapest house in Toronto, Vancouver & Calgary then there will be $500/month in property tax $500/month in utilities, $500/month for insurance +massive taxes & fees & if you have anything left over for food it will be $Hundreds per month. There are better places to build a future. Also your kids will be brainwashed & indoctrinated daily, surrounded by pedophiles, provided free street drugs in some provinces & told they should change their gender. When they become depressed, the govt will offer them assisted suicide all without your input or approval. THIS IS CANADA TODAY. Still want to move here?

Blablabla let me tell you the heart of the problem. Canada has a systemic problem of people using "appearances" to lie and cheat and rip people off. On the "smaller" scale it's fake friends left, right and center and women taking advantage of the false expectations of the mother or lady appearance that they're sweet and honest so they can lie and abuse people. And there's no better "appearance" than when people become officials, cops, bankers, doctors, government employees etc etc. End of story. It's the lost cousin from Canada telling the rich Brits to welcome him back. And it's an age old story. The weasels just claim it's a henhouse. And sorry but Alberta's cheaper living doesn't equate to living among honest people who won't rip you off. The Calgary officials will bootstomp you and rip your pockets right off your pants. And BC is a super expensive place but compared to Alberta it's socially superior like maybe Pinnochio compared to Honest John. I mean BC is still a social shame compared to something like Sweden but it's probably within the same ballpark as Britain, which isn't very good but that's better than some corrupt Texan town pulling up their bloodstained gloves every day which is basically what Calgary is.

The video presenter references housing, health care, and infrastructure. I'll just point out that none of those are the responsibility of the federal government. Health care is a provincial responsibility, housing and infrastructure are provincial and municipal responsibilities. The role of the federal government is limited to providing funding. As far as GDP per capita, there is a measure of GDP that takes into account purchasing power parity. In other words, comparable levels of purchasing power in different economies. On that scale, Canada ranks about 25th in the world (out of 190 countries), and has a higher PPP per capita that the countries of the European Union, France, Japan, and the United Kingdom (figures from the IMF). If you're going to call Canada a poor country, you're going to have to extend that to all those others.
