10 Things to Know BEFORE Moving to Canada in 2023 🇨🇦 ft. JJ McCullough

[@JJMcCullough]

Adam is providing a great public service with these videos! Flattered that I got to be part of one!

[@limaalphanovemberzulu]

Unfortunately, for me It is development hell to move to Canada due to inflating prices. Atleast the immigration service tried.

[@nesscreatess]

Its amazing how respectful you are that you take into account the ethics of filming homeless people in Vancouver!

[@AllycatlovesAG]

Definitely not the target audience for this video as I’ve lived here all my life as well, but you covered so many great points and very thorough! Because of my degree many of these topics come up daily in lectures such as government, immigration etc and you did a great job giving an overview!

[@WillBowers]

Incredible video as always bro! As someone who moved to the Vancouver area from the US recently these are spot on.

[@sonderous4115]

Let's go!!! Adam and JJ in one video, great collab!

[@Marylandbrony]

I live in Canada and i do live in an Igloo and ride a domesticated Moose around to get to places. Along with the only Black guy i ever knew frozen to death instantly when he stepped outside in November.

[@ronjohnson4059]

[@miticism]

A very misleading statement at 8:25 (the whole work permit sections is such a mess, actually). There’s no requirement to have lived in Canada for 3 out of 5 years to get a PR. That is a rule to become eligible for citizenship. For PR, there’s no requirement to stay in Canada BEFORE getting it, but there’s 2 years out of last 5 rule to maintain your PR status.

[@gmoralesc]

Great summary Adam, your videos are always accurate and very informative!!

[@AdamJBell]

Thanks a ton! Really appreciate it, that's what I aim for 😄

[@taisiia7802]

Thanks for a video, Adam! I’ve been living in Vancouver for 3 months now, and I had no idea it would be so hard to find a local job in my field (as graphic designer/illustrator) 🥲 Everyone says I need to get any Canadian experience first and it’s going to be easier then. And that networking is really important. It has been a struggle for me( That emblem of Ukraine on JJ’s wall😍

[@AdamJBell]

Thanks for sharing this, I'll be better able to let people know this who ask questions about job searching (especially in your specific industry) :// It is true once you have that one job here things get a little easier for getting others down the road, but the first one.. is the toughest one.

[@taisiia7802]

[@KaterynaGondarenko]

Thank you for the video! It's pretty informative and easy to watch and comprehend :)

[@themothman3726]

Canada adjusted to a 1:1 scale to other countries is one of the most expensive countries in the world to live in. Our housing market alone is absurdly hyper inflated, any good or service that crosses a boarder is through the roof because of taxation and outsourcing, etc. A more accurate statement would be "if you're living comfortably where you are then you will live comfortably here".

[@tylerrood6643]

Thank you guys for this video. Can you do a comparison between Canada & USA?

[@AdamJBell]

An interesting idea! I'm sure JJ or I will cover this in a video upcoming! 😄

[@BetsyBigNose]

I think J.J is the first Canadian I have heard pronounce "about" more as "a-boot". An informative video.

[@thomaslee229]

Pretty sure he chose to pronounce it that way :)😊

[@mmmarcoszzz]

I learnd very important things watching this. I hope I make to canada asap, i really love this country.

[@postpunkpastor]

Oh hey, it's JJ! Greetings from across the border in WA! Vancouver, to me, is like if Seattle were more international and a tad nicer. I also used to live near Osooyos in Okanagan, and was amused that Canada has a wine country. talking about size: I also forget how big BC actually is, and Washington isn't a small state. The western provinces are wide and go a long way up.

[@Klasik489]

Great content! I learn so much about Canada on this channel🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@Brick-Life]

Awesome Vancouver!

[@eliasarches2575]

I live in the Lower Mainland of BC. I do not recommend living here. If you ever want to buy a home and if you want to raise a family with a good standard of living I do not recommend. Wages are not keeping pace with the cost of living. If you are young and don’t mind living in a tiny apartment/basement suite, it’s a great city.

[@JJMcCullough]

Are you an immigrant?

[@SylviusTheMad]

I moved from Vancouver to Edmonton in 2014, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

[@eliasarches2575]

@@JJMcCullough Yes, I’m from Australia (so maybe I’m used to a higher standard of living than other immigrants in fairness).

[@viraajbhinda7883]

[@claypill]

i like this video a lot, and i'm considering moving to canada to study. the only thing that has thrown me off is the tax amount. ~28% rate of income tax is insane.

[@stay_puft]

People with a lower income pay a lower tax rate than people with a higher income.

[@jrmcdonald7510]

Um that's a similar middle class tax rate here in the United States, but no covered basic healthcare. Hmm why do I live here again? ;)

[@Bc1996fl]

@@jrmcdonald7510my husband and I were just saying this. The more money you make here it’s like you get punished for it when you file taxes. And to top it off you get no help from the government.

[@eduard289]

Thx for the vid dude

[@sophieshepherd1573]

Just moved to Vancouver from England, didn't know about the foreign buyers ban :') great video, thanks for all the info!

[@alexteixeira8211]

If you have a work permit or become a PR you’re exempt.

[@sophieshepherd1573]

@Alex Teixeira ooh thanks! Yeah I have work permit, okay thats good then :)

[@AdamJBell]

Yes what Alex said is true! You just need to be able to prove that you have the intent of getting PR and settling in Canada for long term. So they are still wanting to stop people with work permits from just investing, then leaving the country. In the case of buying a property while having a work permit, you will need to speak with a lawyer to be safe :) Which any real estate advisor you use should be able to connect you with a good one! 🏡

[@AyselMehmet]

The high rate of living presently a new dimension of earnings, despite the drop in Bitcoin price will not stop me from investing

[@FatimaHassan773]

What could be the most secure and efficient way to invest in cryptocurrencies? I've done some research but am still unsure; advise please!

[@mrdante4665]

The idea is to buy low and sell high. Buying low, however, is only half the battle; you must also know when to sell

[@AziziJoeStowell]

Knowing what you're doing is also essential. You don't invest in cryptos unless you have a solid understanding of how the market works.

[@Alejandro-wr]

Hodling crypto has cost me a lot, which is frustrating. How can I improve my situation??

[@JamesSalas-il8rrw]

@@Alejandro-wr If you're holding crypto, you should already be aware that you will only win/profit if the price of the cryptocurrency rises. On the other hand, you might want to consult with a professional to diversify your holdings and increase your earnings.

[@SergeyBatishchev]

Awesome video as usual! Adam, I have a minor point of feedback. This is not the first time you casually mention you need to spend 3 out 5 years to apply for a PR status. This is a common misconception. You are likely confusing it with Canadian naturalization/citizenship requirement. In fact most of the FSW/Express Entry applilcants apply "outland", and come to Canada for the first time in their life with "confirmation of permanent residency" paperwork on their hands. Immediately after landing they become full-blown permanent residents. Canada's immigration system is very different from EU/USA in this aspect.

[@lucyalderman422]

Painters usually get paid more then service workers so tipping them is not needed

[@DSTaveras]

Hey Adam, great video, question can you make a video for returning Canadians to Canada? as i am planning my reture to Canada after more then 17 years outside

[@cronusradonsystems2036]

Given the current state of mass psychosis is the US, we're very seriously looking at moving to Canada. As a real estate agent, and being "in the know", tell me this. What is the demand for appraisers in Canada? My wife is a nurse and also an appraiser, and she really does like to do the appraisal work. I've got a manufacturing company that makes components for radon mitigation systems. I would hope that bringing a nurse and a company into the country should help our chances of getting residency. We live in Colorado now, in the snowiest, coldest county here. I dont think the winters there will be worse than the current ones. It comes down to wanting to live somewhere where we can more peacefully live, without this weird, polarized, uneducated, angry half of the population. Yes, they exist everywhere, but most places sit them down at the kiddie table, here in the US, we hand them the mic. The consequences of that are going to be felt for decades, and I think we would rather spend those decades around more civilized people and societies.

I got a question 😊 I thought there was also an exemption for people who are going to college you could buy an apartment for a certain amount also hi 😊 I have Ben at the process of moving to Canada it’s not easy 😅

[@WhatAboutZoidberg]

The taxes may be higher, but when I'm paying almost $400 a month for my wife and my healthcare, its probably closer to even, not to mention all the costs of actually seeing a doctor or specialist.

[@KyleRoth]

This video is a little bit misleading about the healthcare---it's not just "basic stuff" that's covered; it's also surgeries, ER visits, pregnancy and birth, etc. Specifics will depend on the province, but there are federally mandated standards that provincial health insurance must meet. Otherwise, great video!

[@Glowtrey]

Truth with credit score is it cajt really go up until you actually have a few loans or a big one. So from 18yo until you'll have your first major loan it will probably go down, since it will go down if there aint enough money in your accounts (wich will happen if you go to college). Also, good Quebec pronounciation! :D Finally : Winter is the best season !

I've known several immigrants to Canada who all said that they ended up in Canada because it was easier to get into than the USA, because they were rejected from their original goal of living in the USA, or that they even had a long-term plan of immigrating to the USA once they had Canadian citizenship. So, is Canada a good backup plan for anybody that can't make it to America? Probably.
