Been following your awesome journey since I first saw your vlogs in Moldova a few years back and this news is sad, but somewhat expected.\nWe'd love to have you in Australia but unfortunately we're experiencing almost all of these issues in the major cities too.\nSome of our states are better than others, and you can get more affordable living conditions the further out from the cities you go.\n\nHere's hoping you get to settle somewhere great - Honestly could see you somewhere in Europe or Asia - A centralised location to continue your travels!\n\nBest of luck mate!

The first thing Canada needs to do to turn things around is to stop being a lapdog to the US. But it's almost impossible because the people don't have power in their hands anymore, the same as the Americans. The governments are infested with corrupt officials. You're making the right choice.

YES. US is far superior mainly because each state has at least some automony vs. provinces in Canada. Canada is now almost completely controlled by Globalist out of Davos (WEF, UN, WHO....). Canada's economy will fall much quicker than the US because of our overspending, underperforming economy (GDP/capital falling like a rock) and Actually more mass migration than the US.

10,000 homeless in Toronto and almost the same in Vancouver city and many in Montreal and Kingston. And the governments leave them in the street and judge them and thats why they have difficulty to find a job for some of them. i am convicne the government let it be like that. because they have they own political agenda and they want to bankcrupt the country

It is a great country but they are not business minded and thats why it is difficult to make money here in Canada. And the taxes on incomes and sales and on everything is huge and none sense and the cold winter is too long. and it is socialist , almost communist

I'm from Texas. As a young fool I married a Canadian woman in 79. I'm a military man, army strong. So, many deployments all over the world. Oh, wife was also military, Canadian military. Our time together was limited. She left the military in 1990, got sick with cancer in 93, died in 93. I moved to Canada then, to be with the kids. Kids grew up, and I moved away. I recently returned to Canada after roughly 30 years away. I'm also leaving. I can't stand this place. And I've learned that the insanity in Canada is worldwide. I don't recognize the UK, Italy, Poland, Germany. Everything has changed. Right now I'm in Texas panhandle, on the ranch my father and his father ran. Thousands of acres, horses and cattle and dogs. I almost never see the neighbors. I love it.

I almost moved to Canada in 2008. \nI got my deployment orders to go to Iraq.\nI can say with 100% certainty I dodged a bullet by not moving there.

This causes discrimination when looking for a tenants. If the law did its job people would allow almost anyone with a job to rent. \n\n\nInvestigate and potentially ARREST the tenant review board workers for being complicit in this crime. They or the politicians who allow this are probably ignoring cases related to friends and family. It is an easy decision, you don’t pay, you get kicked out. If you don’t pay for your groceries, you don’t get them. If you don’t pay for your car, they repossess it. I think there is something more deep going on here.

I am also leaving Canada this year. I was born here and have spent almost 4 decades living in Canada, but for now, I cannot stay. Will be moving to South East Asia in a few months. No immediate intention on returning any time soon. The spell that has taken over the country's politicians, elites and even many regular citizens has destroyed my home and I don't see it changing.

4th generation and we are now on our 6th generation we are considering leaving Canada too after almost 95 years here. Watching this county slowly plummet to the bottom of the pit has been very depressing. Our once amazing safe diverse cities are turning into cesspool of rampant drugs and crime. Even our small city of 100k, it's everywhere no escaping the circus this government has created. Unfortunately I really have no hope of Canada's return.

So sad to see that you’re leaving. It seems that the whole world is declining in almost every aspect, and it maybe an irresistible trend, too bad! Best luck to you, Alina, and we’ll all be missing your smiles!

Minorities are almost the majority so the racism is actually against Canadians not newly arrived people.

I'm planning on leaving but I'm not sad at all about it. More excited for an adventure. South America is my first choice, mainly Ecuador at this point. Almost 50 and abroad seems like the only early retirement option. At the rate of North American decline I doubt I will miss anything other than family. Good luck on your next adventure!

I am from Easter Europe, first time working abroad, place of work airline catering. The conditions of work, very bad, no rules, chaos with the approvel of management. Staff less than neccesary by purpose, they over work you with intention. Almost for sure I will return home.

I worked with a Pharmacist who Escaped Canada almost 20 years ago, now he wanted out for Tax Purposes , he definitely was not a Typical Canadian and he probably didn't see this Coming, he just wanted to keep a Much higher Percentage of his Check and knew from his Parents that would never happen in Canada

I worked for a Canadian company for 25 years living in the USA, California / Silicon Valley specifically and spent days in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver - great place but probably has been run-down by wrong Government policies just like the USA - first blame is always on immigrants even though majority of them (especially in the USA) do jobs that Americans or Canadians do not want to do - farm work, construction work and services while 50% do get proper education and find good jobs and build up the community\nPolitics in the USA and Canada has gone so bad in recent years almost everyone is thinking of moving back to native country or find other affordable places - easier decision at the age of 33 but not 66\nWherever you go, I am guessing it will be around Bali, good luck and may you have all the success you strive for and deserve!

I left Canada at the end of last year. After years of busting my butt and trying to get ahead, i wasn't going anywhere. \nThe job that i had worked at for years decided to outsource my entire team to another country and i was left with a decision to try and atart from scratch or atart fresh elsewhere. \nSo i booked a flight to Thailand and i spent three months there. While going on a border run to get a visa extension, i went to Cambodia. It was just a short trip, but it keftnits mark on me and ive been here for almost six months now. \nI didnt like how i felt back in Canada and i didnt like what i was seeing the countey become. Instead i ended up in a country that had been through one if the worst thjngs imaginable and the people were the most lively and welcoming that I've ever met. They decide to put light into the world and that resonates with me. \nGood luck with your next chapter. Change can be great. Its also easier to adapt when you find a place you love

CANADA SUCKS thanks to Trudeau. Almost time for me to leave as well.

So what your saying is that canada is a horrible place? And anywhere almost is better.

I left Canada in 2021 and came back this week for the first time. I am in complete shock I honestly don’t know how people survive. I bought a TRAVEL SIZE conditioner, soap, eyebrow pencil and toothpaste and the total was $47 at shoppers ??. I went to a restaurant with a friend. we shared a meal and got two kid size meals for her kids and 2 glasses of wines . The total was almost $200. Since I’ve been abroad for a while I wanted to go to the doctors and utilize my work insurance. Impossible! Wait time is 3-4 weeks just for an initial meeting. It would be easier for me to pay out of pocket abroad than use the “free” services Canada ( and my job) offers. I have no children and work in tech and I’m grateful but even working in this field I wouldn’t be able to have a quality life living here. It’s so sad I was born and raised here but I see no future for myself in Canada.

Nice video! I totally understand your feelings, I’m an immigrant in Canada and have been living here for almost a decade but unfortunately my wife and I are planning to go back to our country. We think Canada is going to the wrong direction and is no longer a nice and safe place to raise our kid.?

Education is free, but their school system is almost two hundred years old (Prussia/Kaiserzeit). If your kids are not well integrated, you risk that they won't make it to the Gymnasium and, therefore, to university. I was teaching physics in their universities. These are sick places with very unmotivated joung teachers (it's difficult to become a professor there).

Good day maam, im from philippines, gradaute in agriculture major in animal science, 4year course and i have 2years experience in dairy farm and i have already a COE and also i have experience in pig farm almost 2yrs and i have also COE and right now i am a, super visor in poultry farm.\n\nAnd i hope i am qualify for the position that PEI needs.

It's almost like our standards are more closely reflecting to the destabilized countries we provide immigration to. Who could have possibly foreseen this?

I FEEL SORRY for all Canadians because of their WEAK CURRENCY\nCompared to the US dollar, their dollar is only worth 73 cents\nSome 15 years ago they were almost equal for a short time\nA Canadian explained to me that was based on the worldwide sale of Canadian oil

I am also from turkiye, and just completed my 3 years in germany. I won't wait to get permanent residency(which is taking almost 1 year these days) and looking for another role in other countries.

I came to Berlin, Germany ?? from India with my family in 2021 on EU Blue card. I work here as a Software Engineer and last month I got my PR. Below are my observations \n1) Not expat friendly at all - Most of Govt departments doesn’t want to speak English at all making us feel we are useless. Esp at initial level it is next to impossible \n2) Taxes are too high I have lots of friends in Netherlands in HSM visa and they have 30 percent off in total salary meaning taxes are charged on remaining 70 percent.\n3) Difficult to buy home in Germany ?? whereas in Netherlands it is super easy and banks easily give 100 percent mortgage. Many friends of mine took their own house on the very first year and their emi is almost equivalent to the rent.\n4) Openess to English is still an issue if Germany ?? needs more skilled workers which I feel they desperately need it they would need to be more open towards English which is a common linked language.\n5) People are not at all friendly and avoid small talks.

13:49 almost free health care... yeah, right. Health care in this country is a joke & a huge scam ?‍?

My Danish husband with danish degree as pharmaceutical assistant is waiting already 10 months for recognition of his diploma. He cannot work without it. It’s an EU degree yet Germany has to be always different. At least he learned German while still waiting but I think we will leave soon. Weather in Munich is almost like in Copenhagen. ?

I would love to live in Germany, I speak some German. But it doesn't make sense for me since wages are low compared to the United States. Its a shame too since I am an IT expert and from what I hear its extremely easy to get in, and most jobs don't require ANY German. But the pay is almost half. Sure, I'd probably make up for this in quality of life improvements versus the United States, but I'd be broke, in a small apartment in a major city, unable to do the things I enjoy in life. Maybe suitable for someone in their 20s-30s, not me.

One think Germany could start and do is to fix the university application for international students. in theory they are super attractive with almost no tuition (ok 99% of courses are in German). But it runs on a German cycle months later than most other countries.... You can't start applying before May 15th for the next school year. that is 7 months later than the UK, Netherlands, Belgium etc, Meaning that by the time applications start in Germany, if you applied in those others countries you most likely got an offer already. In fact, my son applied also in Germany and only today got his high school diploma certified. took Uni-assist the government portal 5 weeks to do that. now he can submit that to the uni where he applied and who knows when they will make a decision. meanwhile he has other offers in equally good schools.

ALMOST THE SAME IN GERMANY BUT WITH GOVERNMENT MONEY

I am a Filipino nurse and i am single. I've been working here since 2017. It's like i am not having that much or should i say enough. I am spending almost half of my salary just for monthly rent and common necessities. The living cost here are high and the wages are low and not mentioning the number of taxes that will drain you. But what i don't undertsand most is Germany currently rank as 3rd largest economy but it's not even included in Top 10 nations with highest salary for nurses. Now i recently passed the NCLEX exam for the US, and i know it's not just me there's a lot of us who's in the same boat and YES,..maybe it is time to leave Germany soon..

Appointments in German embassies are not available for almost a year

Germany does not need skilled workers, they are looking for cheap and German speaking workers, I have been looking for IT job for almost a year now, as soon as a new job post is on LinkedIn 100 post on it.

The Guardian almost joining the dots there, but... racism... xenophobia... blah... blah

5:22 Indian universities are full, that’s why they come to the West. It deprives nationals from university place,emits. 1:43 The demographic problem is not in the West, it’s in the rest of the World. It’s creating inflation and in turn creating poverty 4:00 This is the results of excessive demand from the influx if immigrants in every western country. 2:56 How do they get a visa if they have no skills? 7:25 This is deliberate by the WEF and Klaus Schwab. 8:27 The Left try to say this is Far Right and racist but it’s absolutely not. It’s clear that the West has helped enough, they need to fix the immigrant countries. 8:33 It’s nit Far Right or racist to be worried about the current immigration trajectory 10:36 The benefits of immigration only work with common sense levels of immigration because when there is too many they don’t integrate as well. 12:19 As an immigrant myself to London, I think there are too many immigrants now, it’s almost as if it’s being done for human trafficking money.

You guys are hilarious. Bet you’re happy to have almost free medical coverage. Your rite about the water it is good. As far as politics go Trudeau is boring, his father was not. He never got bullied by other world leaders he to them to get stuffed if he didn’t like they’re polices.

I grew up in the country since I was born (I turn 30 next year), and it's the most beautiful place I've ever seen. But I want to leave, because (as an employed electrical engineer), I will never be able to afford a house or a family. And the values of kindness and generosity that seemed an integral part of Canadian society have been replaced by apathy, indifference, and selfishness. People have given up, leadership is completely out of touch, and the general hate for humanity I encounter on a daily - DAILY - basis makes this place almost unliveable.

What almost a decade of Trudeau does to a country

I'm half Morrocan and half Palestinian, born and bred in Germany.\nIllegal immigration is a wide world issue now like Morroco for example is being overflooded with Negrian and Senegal Senegalese Illegal immigrants who set up camps in the middle of the roads, refuse to obey the local law, and almost form a No go zone, it's getting tragic in some parts in Morroco and the king of Morroco is allowing it to happen under the guise of tolerance and acceptance.\nSigh.

According to 'Statistica' between 2020-21 there were 236K immigrants, a lower than normal figure, which had probably averaged around 250K pa this century. The highest had been 2015-16 when it was 323K. Jump to 2021-22 and it is 493K immigrants, the next year almost 467K. Clearly unsustainable.

The system is extremely terrible and unfair for hardworking owners. Took me almost 3years, and 30k owed. And my crazy tenant started selling my appliances i provided and got away with all of that as well. The system never considers the undue hardships caused by tenants who don't leave nor pay.

Turkey has a longer land border with EU country, Bulgaria than Greece. Yet almost all illegal migrant flows from Turkey are deliberately directed towards Greece only. The journalist did NOT wobder or investigate why?\nBS Journalism.\nTurkey over the years has directly or indirectly earned billions and billions as an illegal international human trafficking hub. How cone illegal migrants from ALL OVER and all directions..from Bangladesh to Lebanon, from Morocco to Nigeria and Somalia, all sonehow end up in Turkey trying to cross over to Greece. Why they end up in Turkey to cross over to Greece and not another non-EU country, closer to their end destination in western Europe, i.e\nLet's say Albania, Bosnia etc. The Journalist did not wonder how come and investigate?\nBS Journalism...

as a candian immigrant i know so many people from ym country who become fake refugees. almost all refugees from my country are fake. also the worst immigration loophole in canada is the three year work visas theyre giving out

Learn from other countries. Singapore a small country have a public housing programme. Canada almost Nada.

Human race is and always has been for the most part a vile, violent and evil species. That is the definite constant throughout human history. It's almost fitting that the imminent environmental collapse will wipe most of us out, regardless if we are Christians, Muslims, rich or poor. Hopefully the few that will survive will be forced to re-imagine the human race as one entity away from tribalistic mentalities, which will lead to something significantly better.

It almost seems like the wealthy like increased competition to drive down wages... hmmm that sounds like a losing proposition for the average person. Enjoy that feelgood poverty...

Immigration is crazy in canada i live in a small town where east indians have taken over most businesses and only hire their own family leaving almost no jobs. Cant even afford to go through school for a better job cause I cant aford anything. Fuck you Justin.

It’s almost like our government has flooded our country with too many ppl from one specific country………….
