What Research About Canada Won't Show You 

Annecdotally, the Canadians that I know who left Canada don't leave for education (our schools are decent) but because you can get paid noticeable more outside of the country for equivalent work and the cost of living is generally significantly lower

As a native Canadian, I would say this politeness thing is way overstated. The point made that Canadians don't ever protest isn't true, what about the trucker convoy in Ottawa? You got the banks right.

One year in university so far made zero friends , Canadians are nice but international students especially from south asia they don't wanna be friends with anyone but their own

This reminds me of the proverbial iceberg, where what is above the waterline (ie. what is researchable) is visible but 90% lies below the surface and is unknowable without lived experience. Canada is not unique in this regard.

I also always thought that the candians were laid back people, not the kind to go a protest and cause trouble. But the freedom movment started by the truckers when the covid jab was been forced on the population was one of kind. No one else in the world protested like that. It made world news and millilns of dollars was donnated to the cause. That was a heck of a protest. And the proestestors really did endure a lot. It change my mind about the canadians big time, respect, and happy to be here. Particulalrly Alberta, more free thinkers i think.

Thanks for your kind information.

Someone tried to use my Credit card I have to cancel it. The bank has two options either send a new credit card via mail or collect it from the bank. I choose to collect from bank cause it is the fastest way, then I got an email from the bank to come and collect the card but when I arrived to the bank they said my card does not arrive yet and their email system sucked. I used to work in the banking system back in my home country so I am familiar with the system. But when I saw the amount of time the teller took for a just small deposit OMG. This is unacceptable.

The banks are absolutely terrible in Canada. Even if you do business with BMO in the US, it's much better than BMO in Canada.

I totally agree with your first point. I have been in Canada for like an year now and its really hard to actually make them friends or to actually win their trust about us. I still remember that once I asked one of my colleagues to go out with me and to that she said I don't know you. I was shocked to hear that because 3 months is a long time and if she doesn't wanna go out then how can we know eachother better? Whereas the part of the world where I am from people become friends the very moment you meet them by just having some nice chit chat with them for a while. It doesn't take 6 months or an year of time to invest on a single person Other thing which I remember is an unsuccessful attempt to go out on a movie with a bunch of my Canadian colleagues. So, I asked them about the date for watching the movie. In person they all agreed and looked very excited. To me it seemed like they will make it to the movie night but when the date arrived to watch the movie nearly all of them apologised. Now, I don't know what was that but in my culture cancelling plans and that too at the very last moment after agreeing to it is considered super rude. The lesson which I got from it was that in future never ask Canadians out.

No, in the US competition is encouraged, you can skip grades if you are good enough. You can be a doctor as a teenager, if you pass the requirements. I prefer the US. You cannot tell children everyone is equal and no one fails in elementary school. Fail the ones stuck behind.

Another challenging aspect is the difficulty in finding reliable information online for Canada. It seems like uncovering essential guidelines or instructions often leads to only official websites or Reddit threads, leaving little room for other sources.

I'm not even sure why I'm watching this since I've lived in Canada for decades haha... but great video!! I agree with everything you said.

Hard to generalize what Canadians are like because Canada is a multicultural place and the people actually aren't that simular. These days I dont think its accurate to say Canadians are polite..depends on what type of Canadian

The Canadian job market can be very challenging for several reasons: (1) Canada is a small economy compared to other G7 countries, so there aren't that many jobs to begin with. (2) Being right beside the US, and being in NAFTA (now USMCA or CUSMA, depending on which country you're in), many many corporate jobs are in the US, and Canada is simply a branch operation of a US company. (The only exceptions I can think to this are Canadian bank jobs because Cdn bank HQs are in Canada.) (3) The job mkt in Canada is very opaque compared to other countries. A lot of jobs connections are made through people you know. (4) If you're new to this country, employers essentially discriminate against you by telling you that you do not have 'Canadian experience'. This is really quite ridiculous because Canadians love to think of themselves as inclusive, non-discriminatory, but this practice is totally discriminatory and has been going on for decades. Successive govts in Canada have talked about changing this, but that's all it's been - talk. Essentially, therefore, you either have to come to Canada with a job already lined up, or you're going to be screwed when you get here. Scams and fraud aren't a Canadian thing. They happen in the US as well, and in fact probably starts there and then spreads to Canada. As for your comments about Cdn banks, I personally find banking in Canada fairly easy. The experiences you have had sound to me like what I experienced in the UK. Finally, your comment about Canadians not speaking their minds.. it hasn't always been like this. The woke ideology that has been pushed by governments and schools in Canada probably in the last 10 or so years have created a society where no one can speak their mind or make jokes even or they'll be called racist.

Этот рассказ про скам и фрод дал мне очень московские вайбы, все время на чеку, все время ждешь где тебя обманут. Про свободу слова конечно да, это все странно, самоцензура какая-то. Понятно что это лучше чем Оруэлловская цензура как в РФ, но все равно...

Ohhh that 😱 scares me now. Living in New Zealand everything is digital

I feel people should not just improve their English but learn French if they can for it’ll open many more doors. I absolutely hate the oligopoly in Canada.

As a Canadian, I'd say that your observations are accurate and reveals deep flaws in the Canadian way of life. I'm glad that you pointed out the problem of monopolies in Canada (but they're really oligopolies). The oligopolies have a stranglehold on the Canadian economy and the time has come to abolish these "gatekeepers" from our collective good. Canada is a country that felt safe in its relative isolation and fears being abandoned from the decades old nanny state. Trudeau has abused the trust that Canada had towards the government and Canadians are feeling very insecure about their future for probably the first time. I think this may be the catalyst for change that has been decades in the making.

I am moving to Canada soon. Please recommend which bank is the fastest wth better customer service

In short Canada is hell also.

Sports leagues like JAM sports and average Joe's are great leagues to make friends in

As for education, private schools are booming in Canada now. I work in the sector and I see that.

Its funny how I watched this video about moving to Canada to learn something new, but it turns out I currently live in a country that operates exactly the same way... I guess it won't be a shock to me when I move to CA 😂 btw, difficulty in making friends its not a Canadian thing. Its a human thing. Making friends when you are 30+ is inifintely harder than when you are younger. Everywhere in the world. People that age, in most cases, already have established families and friend circles, so they don't 'need' to make new friends.

I wish more canadians make videos on what they really are concerned about instead of propagating this picture of a eutopia, it might be true for them but not for newcomers, yes by the way of newcomers coming they have benefitted but they are dissing the immigrants when real estate prices were complained on, instead of being racist , make videos on what they really want from immigrants what they dont.

She though that you're poor😢
