It's powerful until you ACTUALLY need help from the Canadian government in ANY international situation!!!!!!!
Why? I’m a Canadian abroad since 2011, Canadian Consulates around the world are quite good
@@ytzpilotask the two Canadians abducted in south phillipines . Tortured for months then beheaded .
Canada did this for them NOTHING !
No opposition raised a hand either !
Better take a better look in our own yard before spewing off how perfect canada pretends to be to the world .
@@jacobuszwanenburg1629 Rule#1 Never negotiate with terrorists. Rule#2 Never break rule#1
Very sad situation, but pay ransom to terrorists would only encourage more of the same. It’s likely more lives were saved
Canada is a great Country. Don’t like it?.....leave
@@jacobuszwanenburg1629 Everyone has to take responsibility for where they go in this world, not your government, the Canadian Government issued a Travel Advisory not to go to that region,, so yea I don't expect the Canadian Government or any other Government to help you when you intentionally put yourself in harms way and go against the advice of your government. Go in a region like that you are on your own

Too bad our money value sucks
But we live in the best country in the world - Jean Chretien.
Yea most of them r just trying to get Canadian passport and then move to US.
that makes no sense
Most of them came to Canada as a second option if they can’t stay in the U.S. lol. Meanwhile, Canada thinks they are so great and everybody wants to go there, not knowing they are only a second or even third choice.
@@quacklesuhthat’s the point. It makes no sense but people are doing it. Cuz Canada sucks
@@quacklesuh It does because Canadians can become Americans easier than other nationalities
Don't act like born and raised Canadians aren't trying to do the same brah.😂😂
Ya, and wonder why many new immigrants take Canadian citizenship and then go back to their home countries and not pay any income taxes in Canada. All this talk about reverse immigration, majority of them take PR or citizenship and then leave so they can come back when things get better in Canada, so much for loyalty to their new country. The citizenship fee should be triple the amount now.
Why would you pay income tax in Canada if you’re not working in Canada?
There ain't no free lunch anywhere in this world man. You live here and pay taxes to Canadian govt., and then get citizenship. And post that it's everyone's own right to live whereever they want. If there is reverse immigration, raising fee would solve nothing.
Oh brother 🙄😂😂
CRA treats the non resident differently.. most of countries tax by residency, not citizenship.. what you said about leaving and not paying tax based on citizenship is what IRS in the US does things.. not common in the world actually
You make it sound as if the immigrants are fooling Canadian government to take the passport and leave while actually many immigrants feel being misled by the advertisement of the government promising a better life and a strong passport, to find themselves paying a very high price for it and by paying high taxes, crazy expensive life, poor health care system and chasing to make a better income forever. So yeah it does make sense to leave this country
A world class marketing gimmick, is still a marketing gimmick.
This is an interesting story. As an American, who started traveling internationally in 2022, I didn’t pay attention to visas until I was blocked from going to another country because I had to have my visa in advance. I had traveled to 24 countries, in Africa, Asia and Middle East until that experience where I had to layover in another country while I rush that country’s visa. Now, I have to check to see whether there is visa in advance or on arrival. A very expensive lesson learned.
Which country was it?
@@martha.7416 New Delhi, India required a visa in advance, coming from Cairo, Egypt.
It needs to be that powerful so we can escape the rampant abuse of drugs everywhere and the dark depressive cold nights that go on for 8 months out of every year. At this point we don't even have a functioning healthcare system so it's nice to be able to see doctors in other countries without too much visa trouble.
@@hitmancontract01 wow you hit me with the "then leave!" comeback. Very original.
@@XDicer Everything you said was a lie so, yeah, if you hate Canada so much that you're willing to lie about our economy, our healthcare system, and even how long winter is (4months or less), then yes, leave.
@@tidbit1877He is absolutely right about everything he said. I should also add the unnafordable housing and rampant homelessnes. Trudeau really broke Canada.
It doesn't give you right live and work in another country just allows visit as a tourist!!! If you plan on overstaying you visa free visit you will be the reason why the Canadian passport will become weaker!!!
@@tidbit1877bro ur kidding, canadian economy so good people cant afford to live under a roof. I waited like 8 hours in an emergency room in victoria to get a cast for a broken leg. And i wouldn't say winter is 8 month at least in Toronto but there are many occasions where i have to pull out my winter coat in May
With housing/rents so expensive it's better to leave honestly.
After they get Canadian first.
Still need an updated passport to get out, over 150 dollars and red tape to get one.
Good Luck! Globalism has ensured that housing is expensive all over the world
I have just got my Canadian passport and happy to travel to Europe this summer!
New comers see the Canadian passport for TN Visa's😂😂
It’s powerful passport but I haven’t travel anywhere since my passport got expired 2023 November since I got it 2013, cause I spend more money on mortgages and car insurance than food and working but didn’t travel anywhere, ticket airplanes too expensive and hotel with taxi
Good news for us .
But wait...i thought the country had no respect and was dying according to conservatives lol
It is. Immigration lawyers are too busy dealing with TN visas.
The fact that you don't need visas to visit other countries doesn't reflect the economic and social situation of the country.
Too bad our health care and economy isn’t even half as good.
They should rank by, how many time a password is falsified.
Thing is they hand them out like bus transfers only to be used for OAP and health care by non residents
As long as you are 65 and have lived in Canada for at least 20 years after your 18th birthday, you are eligible for OAS.
For anyone who is getting a new Canadian passport, be warned it quickly gets damaged. The quality of it is subpar. I got mine and within a few days it curled as if I had used it for many years.
How is that "powerful"? 😂😂 Toddlers can wander into any yard. They must be very powerful.
Which is why its counterfeited the most by criminals.
I'd rather stay in a free country.
Didnt the usa ban abortions, and have millions of people locked up, strict gambling and alcohol rules etc
Mars City welcomes you 🤗
TN visas♥️♥️😍😍
They're valuable given how effed up passport office got thus requiring all that extra staff to do less work.
I was born in Canada and raised in Canada live in Kuwait 🇰🇼 and I have the passport of Canada but I barely can go different countries because everywhere is expensive I need a lot of money to go different places so the money is important and having a strong passport
Holder of both Canadian and British passports. Not seeing my superhero cape yet!
Всё очень просто: приезжайте в Украину, сразу почувствуете себя сверхчеловеком
Good stuff. I feel very confident about my passport. Now if only they could put a chip in it to tell you that you've entered a troubled part of the world, that if you continue to stay and trouble breaks out, we won't be coming to get you.
Or you could read the travel advisories before you go.
My Canadian passport is my treasure
In now many countries you're free to work and live as a Canadian citizen?
All of my Canadian friends have though one in their lives to leave Canada forever. Canada isn't that good.
It’s not good, it’s the greatest
@@danielhouse1053It's the greatest if you like living in a country with a housing and healthcare crisis and surrounded by homeless drug addicts who act like zombies.
@danielhouse1053
Canada is so close to becoming a communist country. It's happening right before our eyes and most people can't even see it.
that canadians can afford to live outside canada and not in Canada :D
That's a narrow measure.
That’s not a achievement guys - Sorry
25 countries are having better stronger passport than we Canadians.
Our Foreign affairs department and Minister must try to bring our passport in the top 3.
We need to approach a lot of countries to allow enter those countries without visa, or at least VOA , or the least of least give a Visa online. Brazil has stopped giving visa on arrival to Canadians, Egypt has also done this to Canadians. We need to get more assertive in convincing a lot of countries to give us respect. C’ mon Poland and Malta have better passports than us. A lot of African countries do not give free entry into their countries or no VOA or no E- visa, why? Do we Canadians are a risk of illegal immigration in those countries?
Guys please let our concerned authorities know that we can do better
This is a comedy skit right?
Hmmm, I was happy to get a 10 year passport in 2017, but it was really a 5 year passport since the Canadian government made it impossible to travel anywhere with their Covid-19 restrictions.
Yeah. The government should have issued refunds on passports, seeing as how you couldn't travel for almost 2 years. Unless you were one of the majority who drank the covid koolaid and took the shot just so you could travel.
Did they implant microchips in the vaccines? tell us more@@-Ordinary-Average-Guy
Not for long Justin Trudeau made sure of it
Hold on.. there are 9 counties before Canada. That would put them in 10th place.
But only having a nexus card speeds things up as only the passport does not emit trust obviously
Being dual i can travel to 190 countries maybe more
spaniard here. and i love canada :)
Thanks, Never been to Spain but maybe some day.
Canadian should thank the US Israel for becoming their chihuahua
Unlimited International students and Refugee in Canada . Justin T need to resign
I just need money for travel then lol
Canadian citizenship is now something out of a cereal box.
It takes seven years on average to earn. You must eat some special cereal.
You are kidding, right?
as a canadian i thought american passport would be #1 by a mile
It was at one time, its been going down steadily over the past ten years.
France 🇫🇷 rank 1 💪
It's so powerful, that when I walk down a street in Bangkok flashing my passport, I get free blows.
From ladyboys 😂
Не ходите там, где Вас знают))
Really ? Look what happed to the 2 michels
Having the money to travel to make full use of the Canadian passport's power is another thing.
Needs to be the 51st State of America!
Gross. No thanks
@@JodyDWardNo future here for young people. There is still a future even if it's "gross."
You don’t want more liberal, Palestine supporters and gay activists in USA…
Yea we need more importing of their survival of the fittest and unfettered capitalism and don’t forget their lovely gun culture.🙄 no thanx.🇨🇦
@@martinjackson2431 If "unfettered capitalism" means lower grocery prices, lower cell phone plans, higher salaries and lower cost of living then it sure sounds way better than Canada's "crony capitalism" run by oligopolies and monopolies. Crony capitalism in Canada is the reason why we have no competition, higher grocery prices, higher cell phone plans, lower worker productivity, and lower wages followed by the sky-high cost of living.
Canada ❤️ 🇨🇦 🍁
What a JOKE 😂
Trudeu will get to them soon too
Just paper… what about our military?
lol what are you talking about , we rank below 25 countries . we dont rank high
But they give them to FOBs within 3 years
As if Canadians could afford to travel abroad in Trudeau's economy. Maybe the taxpayer can front me 3 trips to Jamaica a year, like Justin gets. 😂
Not everything is about your jealousy of Trudeau.
@@patricktruelove464 who gets jealous of a thief?
Canadian 🇨🇦 passport is ranked 7th and is *recognized* for visa-free access to 188 countries.
- Taiwan 🇹🇼 passport ranking is 33rd. It's *recognized* by 146 countries.
While China🇨🇳 passport is ranked 71st, recognized only by 74 countries, *half of Taiwan.*
and your point is? hahaha. meaning canada has nothing to offer and no threat to other countries. hahaha.
we all know you hate china, but think with your brain. who are the strongest countries now? we, as canadian, should make harmony and allies, not enemies...
if conservatives want to leave, they have the power to do so...
This place is fuct. When you run out of free money then what’s your plan?
No they don't. The Canadian passport doesn't allow you to live and work in any other country than Canada. Thank God for my EU passport.
Never mind Conservative. Canada isn't even Liberal anymore.
When's the last time any leader before Dustbin Trudouche censored free speech? Or raised taxes while giving us less services and less freedoms?
I can't recall any previous government ever doing that.
ACTUALLY 24TH
Only Global thinks 7th place is good.
Not for long.....
This has to be a joke😂.lots of people just come over here for passport anyway then they run away to another countries.
Seems anyone with a pulse can have a passport these days.
It's not true
Clickbait.
Breaking news. CANADIAN government is biggest JOKE on world stage
1 minute silence for all the andhbhakts. 🤫🤭🙈🙉🙊😝😂🤣😂☕👍
ask modi how many countries can indians visit visa free with indian passport.. 🤔☕👍 🙈🙉🙊😝😂🤣
Average abdooo crying as always
Punjabi Sikhs 👳🏽♂️👳🏽♂️👳🏽♂️ would do anything for one.
I have a Spanish passport honey... You don't even have a fraction of my power.
The power to live and work in all the EU and EEA countries.
Well … I guess Canada’s not as “broken” as Polly thinks it is.
its still pretty broken
Im not for right or left wing but even centrists understand that trudeau has been trashing this country
@@ExplosiveLandmine Everyone thinks they’re centre. Like him or not, Trudeau actually is in the centre. Fundamentally Canadian.
@@patricktruelove464 The WEF puppet Truedeau is 'fundamentally Canadian' LOL EDIT: You also contradict yourself
@@mickjameson519 No … read my post again. Also, maybe you should learn something about what the World Economic Forum is, and who attends. It’s literally every world leader. Harper never missed it, nor would Polievre if he gets to be PM.
Things are so expensive were are people going to travel. Unless both couples make crazy salaries. Come to Canada if you know you will land a high paying job if you are going to come to be a Uber driver good luck that’s what most students coming from India to Canada are doing they are Uber drivers 😅😅😅. I know a guy who got his Canadian passport then moved to Florida for a job in Florida people just us Canada as a way to get experience working then they move to the states . I have another friend he got his Canadian citizenship then he got a job in the California he never came back to Canada once he moved still has his Canadian passport as a back up plan 😅😅
They are also skip the dishes drivers and Amazon delivery guys.
Go to school. Learn oral and written language skills. Your life will improve.
once etias goes into effect canada australia usa etc lose visa free travel to most and especially popular european countries like spain italy germany france norway belgium sweden denmark greece austria holland switzerland among others. serbia macedonia albania might still remain visa free
All those European countries already need ETA to visit Canada.
just means visa is required, loses freedom to travel. @@Flavor_Flav
so all those european countries cannot visit canada? @@Flavor_Flav
etias means canadians, australians, americans, etc just will not be allowed to visit europe. whereas europeans can apply for the eta to visit canada, usa etc, canadians etc cannot unless they have 600 million dollars a month income@@Flavor_Flav
That’s a lie lol. We get laughed at
Sure but Canadians have no money to international travel 😂
If you like Trudeau’s totalitarianism come on down!
I hold two in the top 10.
Hero!
Also the most costly went it comes to Canadians and the amount of taxes the government gets to charge them.💰💰💰
Why don't You look to see how much taxes people in Finland pay, or France, or many others in Europe? Just so You are not clueless forever.
I just checked the latest (2023) median wealth stats and for Canada in USD it was $137K and for the US it was $107K overall Canada was ranked 11th in median wealth with the UK being the only country with a larger population and ranked higher. Yes, Canadians pay a higher tax rate than Americans but we also get value for our money.
yes but many of my friends unable to do their own passports becouse THE BRAINLESS GARANTEUR THING mainwhile others who has mental problems got the passport and lost it abroad...
Families of top Chinese 🇨🇳 officials, including Xi Jinping's, possess Canadian passports.
- Ms. Meng Wanzhou said her time in Canada 🇨🇦 was the best time of her life.
- even she was wearing an ankle bracelet.
Also, Trudeau trained Chinese troops outside Ottawa in winter warfare 🇨🇦🇨🇳
Oh look who's here. How much did the CCP pay you?
This is predictive programming, the cost of a passport is definitely going up soon.
Probably also spin after the passport office debacles post-covid
My question is why Canada is in the first place? Canada is far better than Italy , Ireland , usa , japan etc
Someone truly loves you!
You are LOVED! Jeremiah 31:3.
You are so precious to God!
He doesn't care how old are, or what you've done. He wants you to come to Him through His dear Son - Jesus Christ.
We were made to know God, love Him, worship Him and belong to Him.
Repent! Turn from your sins and let God Almighty in. The world's biggest sin is the rejection of Jesus! You might not see yourself as a sinner, but rejecting God and His love is automatically sin. Again, God loves you and wants a relationship with you. He died to save you from death, hell and destruction.
Respond to God's love by letting Him into your heart ❤️ 🙏.
Amen

Maybe it would help if Canadians could apply for a renewal passport and not take 8 months to show up in the mail Canada is a joke
But those Public Servants work so hard. Let me roll my eyes.
Public sector employees have a job for life. Why would they bother being productive?
@@-Ordinary-Average-Guy How true and with a salary and benefits to die for.
got mine in 2 weeks and they sent me a cheque for taking longer than they said they would.
lol…what?
powerful enough for me to leave the country. lol.
Canadian passport will cost you $700 000 (CAD) in taxes, and cost of living + immigration layers. In addition to this you need to invest 5-7 years of live to get it. Does it worth?
it must be, we just took in 500,000 new immigrants and my building is full of them..all very happy to be here. Not online 24/7 like the miserable people here lol.
Absolutely worth it!
@@everydayfun9531 I don't think so. There are a lot of other opportunities to do something with your money and time. But, lets believe in Canadian Disney land
Pasaport ranking is improving but what about commanan lives are depriving day by day 😢
truth is, I don't want to be a Canadian, this country really isn't that good
good bye then , nobody is stopping you
@@Flavor_Flav EU doesnt mean europe bro
😂depends on your ancestors if your ethnic background not linked to alqaeda group and taliban or hamas i quess the passport itself it’s not extra ordinary 😂😂
