Canada PR seems like easy way but getting Canada PR from India or Pakistan is actually the easiest part. The actual hardships start after getting a PR in Canada, when your moving to Canada journey starts and you enter this country as a new immigrant.
New immigrants to Canada have to face a lot of challenges in this country because a new immigrant life in Canada is exactly that, new! There is so much to learn and understand that it gets frustrating and at some point you may even ask yourself is Canada worth migrating to?
Trust me I also asked myself this and still do sometimes, in addition to asking is Canada safe or is Canada dying or is Canada going into a recession because a lot is happening here and being a Canadian PR is not sufficient at times. The journey doesn't end there, it starts.
So here is my honest review about life in Canada as a PR or more precisely, life in Toronto. There is so much in Canada PR process that you forget about thinking what's happening next but hopefully this video will help you understanding what to expect from this country and ultimately whether moving to Canada is worth it or not because moving here is expensive.

I was in Australia for 3.5 years, it definitely has it's pros and cons. I just left and returned to the UK. Glad to be back with family, but I miss parts of Australia, it's a shame about the distance from Eu to Aus. The truth is, no country is perfect, and all western nations are struggling post pandemic. Best to figure out what's more important to you. If it's history, the arts, beautiful architecture and free healthcare go with the UK. If it's warm climate, low crime, lots of space and high income basic wage, Australia is the way. I've never been to Canada...would like to visit but don't think I would move there permanently. Another place to consider would be the UAE.

I am from a healthcare background and will be moving to Ottawa soon (in just 1 week!) to pursue my masters. Based on my research so far I think Ottawa might be a good fit for me. I love watching your content since you cover the good, the bad and the ugly! Videos like these help me take off my rose coloured glasses lol and get a more realistic view of what to expect. Like you mentioned the winter is brutal and I have heard a lot of people complain about that but a couple of people I have spoken to really enjoyed it. So it’s a very subjective opinion I feel, but majority do seem to dislike it. Coming from Mumbai, having never experienced a winter per say, I am really excited to experience it tbh!

I experienced every bad thing you said about Australia in Canada plus the weather and the higher living expenses ( I was laughing and was waiting to see how frustrated you will get to see Canada😂😂😂😂, after I found out you were going to Canada) Thank you for confirming that Canada is not a place to live permanently 🤦♂️I am sure you wished many times you did not come to Canada (from Australia)😅😅

Great video!! I'm a Canadian living in New Zealand and it's really interesting to hear about your experience. I'm originally from Ottawa and 100% agree with you that Toronto is dirty, smelly and unsafe. In my opinion, it's Canada's worst city and a total shithole. I don't know why so many immigrants still choose Toronto when they move here. Montreal, Ottawa, Guelph, Halifax, Quebec city - all better options if you want to be eastern. The winters are definitely brutal and we struggle to get through it every year too (unless you're in BC). It gets down to -45 where I live in Calgary. That's the biggest detractor to living in Canada for sure. If you can acclimatise to the harsh winters, Calgary is the best! Vancouver is the nicest city in Canada though and it earns how expensive it is. Victoria would be an amazing place to live too. Canada is so massive and there's so many options! One thing I know for sure is that I would never return to Ontario. The tax rate is almost triple what it is in Alberta (13% vs 5%) and the jobs pay less. I wish Canada would get rid of tipping culture too, I absolutely hate it.

Oh and I forgot to add that you should be able to go into any walk-in clinic to see a doctor. I haven't had a family doctor in Canada since I was a little kid. I always go to the same doctor at a walk-in clinic and it's the quickest and easiest way to get medical care. Not sure how busy walk-ins are in the GTA though but it's worth a shot if you need a doctor!

She is here in Canada because Australia did not grant her immigration. Her choices were to live in India or move to Canada as an immigrant. I have no idea why she has to show this much of frustration. I think she can always leave. Nobody is holding her back here and there are thousands waiting to take up her position in Canada. We have no shortage of prospective immigrants.

When Trudeau government took office in 2015, Canadian population was 35.7 million. It is 40 million today, an increase of 4.3 million people in 8 years. With 3 years of COVID (inactivity) in between, the rate of increase was too much for Canada to handle. I can see a push-back in immigration in 2025 federal election.

If you compare it with Canada, even though this country doesn’t need to import anything, the prices are as high as Australia. And then you pay taxes on top of the prices so ultimately it becomes more expensive. So what’s the point of home growing/producing consumerable items when the prices are exactly the same.
