你確定要來美國？

Hello everyone, I'm Terry. I came to Canada alone in 2009. I went to college and university there. After working there for a while, I moved to the United States. I often share some things about North America on my channel. Many viewers asked me if they want to study abroad or work. They hope I can give some advice. Today I want to share some of my feelings about living in North America these years. And if you want to come, you need to think about or pay special attention to this point.

I am talking about some of the disadvantages of the United States compared to the United States. Of course, there are many advantages that are worth mentioning in the United States. I didn't mean to discredit this place. I just want to share my own opinion. It can be a reference. First of all, the first is the immigration system. I think the immigration system in the United States is quite unfair. There is a very important decision in immigration law. The time to remove your green card is the birthplace. Because they will limit the removal of the green card based on the birthplace.

The total total spending of each country's annual green card is not exceeding 7% of the total spending. This means that if you are born in a country with a relatively large population, such as China or India, the period will be several years. Especially in India, the estimated green card period is expected to be 11 years, and in other countries, the average is about 8 to 9 months.

As you can see, it says here that China has been disqualified for three years. This is for applicants from mainland China, not including Hong Kong and Taiwan. If you are from Hong Kong and Taiwan, it will be very fast. I personally think that it is not fair to decide the immigration system according to your birthplace.

Like Canada, you should give your age, work experience, and English level to Canada to decide whether you have permanent residence permit or not. Canada's Express Entry is relatively objective. But I think these are all just the beginning. The strangest thing is that there are now more than 10 million illegal immigrants in the United States.

The US government is very tolerant of illegal immigrants Many illegal immigrants can now apply for SSN, work visa, and driving license, and even get a green card Many even can do some illegal voting Compared to us who work hard, and pay a lot of international students' tuition, and then go back home without getting a lot of money, and then work hard to make money, and become a good alien resident, pay a lot of taxes, and wait for several years to get a green card

As long as there is a step in the middle, it is likely to be kicked out first. Many people don't even dare to change jobs because they are waiting for a green card. I think this is the most unfair thing. American immigration policies are against those who follow normal legal procedures and really contribute to American economic and cultural development. They are often inferior to some illegal immigrants.

I spent a few years in Canada, from nothing to a Canadian passport. I experienced a lot of suffering and delayed my progress. But I met some people from South America who applied for refugee status and got PR in a few months. I'm not saying they don't deserve PR, but they are more like normal people. I think immigration policy should focus on supporting those who have contributed to the country's economy.

So I often reply to my friends' messages that if you want to study abroad or work, the first step is not to think about which school or country you want to go to, but you have to arrange according to your immigration and visa plan, which program is best for you. Give yourself five to ten years to arrange a master plan.

The second is similar, which is the government's illegal actions. There is a term in the US called "Professional Renter" which refers to those who rely on legal work to live in other people's houses for free and refuse to pay any rent and those who don't want to move out. Because they know that some states have laws like California and Washington that are biased towards protecting residents.

The landlord usually has to go through a long legal process to execute legal expulsion And these tenants know the loopholes of these laws They have the right to legally occupy the landlord's property without paying rent The police will not care at all You need to have a legal expulsion order The police will execute expulsion

This person is a very famous professional renter in Seattle. Very shameless. Their husband and wife's income has exceeded $400,000. But because they know the law is leaking, they were repeatedly exposed on the Internet, saying they refused to pay rent and refused to move out. Free rent for several years. This is why the units downstairs have always been Airbnb rentals. To avoid such a situation,

You can get bored with just one And the entire expulsion process takes months And in the middle of this, you not only lose the income from the rent You also have to spend money to go to court And some will even revenge you before they leave Destroy the house until you don't know how much money you will have to pay to repair it It's very hard to get by I've met a lot of friends around me Of course, there are some other conservative states in the United States The law protects the landlord more

So it's not all states have this problem. In addition, there is a magical law in California called Prop 47. As long as you steal something at a retail store, it is not more than $950. It is considered a crime. In general, the law enforcement officers here do not investigate the crime. Even if they investigate, the prosecutor will not sue. So it caused many city and city centers in California to close down. Because it's too messy. A bunch of people stealing and stealing things. It happens every day. Basically, the police don't close down.

If the business wants to continue to operate, especially if the price of the products in the store is higher, you need to hire a private insurance company. This is the chaos in California now. You have to buy a toothpaste at the pharmacy, you have to ask the clerk to open the glass door. It's not exaggeration, it's a very common phenomenon now. Seattle is not good either. I went to buy a eye drops last time, I have to ask the clerk to unlock. This is an iPhone live broadcast in an Apple physical store in Oakland, California.

so

There are so many videos like this on TikTok This is the most real situation in the United States, a democratically developed country In fact, this kind of thing is seen by many Americans No wonder No one will stop them if they meet them The recommendation of the store is also not to interfere Because interference may cause the risk of being attacked It's better to let them finish it and it's okay Since we are talking about the United States, I have to mention the English thing I have lived in North America for more than ten years The feeling is that English ability is still the most important

Whether it's communication or the integration of this society, I used to be in Canada because of my poor English skills. I suffered a lot of losses. Today I'm going to introduce Lingoda's online language learning platform. Thank you for sponsoring this video. Lingoda has more than 100,000 students worldwide. It's a 24-hour online online language learning platform for real people. If you're as busy as I am,

But I want to be able to improve my English skills in a short time. You can take a look at Lingoda's 60-day language challenge. In my experience, the main reason why I can't learn a language is that there is no environment. Plus, no one is there to encourage me every day. I have to spend some time to practice. It's like going to the gym. Is there a fitness coach? It's really a lot of difference. In this 60-day language challenge, you can choose 30 or 60 grams.

Every day, one class, one hour If you don't lack of time and successfully complete the challenge They will return half of the cost of the course to you as a reward It means that an average class costs only 6 euros Or you can choose to return 100% of the course fee to your account and continue to learn I think this challenge will be a very efficient learning opportunity Like my own dissatisfaction mentality Will force myself to complete the challenge of 60 days of class every day

And 60 days is also a new habit of learning. Now use the exclusive link below the video to participate in Lingoda 60 days language sprint challenge You can get an additional 20 euros discount You can really see the results of learning in a short time I think it's perfect for people like us who lack a little bit of motivation But I want to learn English again

Let's go back to the content of the video. In the United States, in addition to the legal release of these actions, another serious problem is that there are too many black businessmen who want to steal your money. Because there are too many people in the United States, and there are more people who are money-saving, so many businessmen who provide services, such as water-fueling, decoration, and car repair, they will not let go of the opportunity to steal your money.

I shared in the previous video that there was a little bit of water in the house and then there was a repair bill for the sky. In addition to this, I took the car to the car factory to repair a small component. I bought a car when I bought a treasure.

So in theory, it doesn't need to be spent So I called a BMW dealer at that time I think many dealers here are all black market manufacturers with big companies They started to tell me what parts to change and check first The cost of checking a car is $260 per hour Then they started to tell me that the insurance I bought would not be used Because it takes too long to approve Anyway, it's a bunch of bastards, obviously they want to steal my money

I also encountered some car dealers who lied to me. They looked at my eyes and lied. I took this paper in my hand and I had the evidence to prove that he was lying. I've encountered too many of these things. You can only spend time slowly looking for reliable merchants or by friend introduction. I think there are still honest and reliable merchants. It's just not a lot. Another is the uncontrolled consumer culture in the United States. You go to a milk tea shop and line up to buy a cup of milk tea.

After paying the bill, the tax will be about $8-9. Then the machine will remind you that the cost starts from 15% and the highest is 35%. This kind of consumption has no service at all. Although they don't have a rule that you must give, but maybe many people are more thin-skinned or just came to the United States and don't understand.

will be forced to press the 15% fee anyway, I can't give it to you as long as it's not a restaurant that you can sit down and eat you don't need to pay the fee for these foreign-branded food I would also recommend if you just came to the US don't press the fee because there is a fee on it you just press it as long as you feel that you are not served you can confidently press the skip or custom and write a zero don't have any pressure but if you go to a restaurant to eat today there is no way to give the fee is the culture here

I support myself to work hard and earn money. If I say that the restaurant service is good,

I hate the idea of having to spend money on haircuts. I don't know why people spend so much on haircuts. But I usually spend a lot on haircuts. Because I think it's a very hard job. But I hate the idea of having to spend money on haircuts. Alright, that's all for today. I know there will be some people who will comment below saying, Why do you hate America so much? Why do you still live in America?

As I said before, these are all the shortcomings But the United States has many advantages that are worth your time You can find its advantages and disadvantages in any country You are also welcome to comment below the video and share with everyone What do you think you should consider before coming to the United States? See you next time
