Hola friends ??\nWe left Canada ?? Oct 2021 for Mexico. ??\nIt was our dream to retire here in Mexico for 12 years prior to moving here. The wife went to university in Guadalajara many years ago and Mexico stole her heart. ❤??\nThe last 2 years prior to moving made us fast track our move. Viva Mexico baby. ✌???\nBest of luck to everyone. ?❤️

Some parents are idiots they literally think there kids are Prince and princess and let them do whatever they want to...most of the time i have seen cranky kids and over aggressive parents who will defend kids garbage.Recently I was travelling via train , it was night time past 11 , one parents they put baby jingles on phone in full volume and gave to kid ,when requested mother said we can't put volume down as baby is enjoying.I patiently waited till 12 ,then had to shout at them.Only then other people supported me.

They could encourage Canadians to have more babies as opposed bringing in foreigners who often aren’t interested in Canadian values. Diversity doesn’t seem to be making us stronger.

Oh no!!! Canada is full. No more babies.?\nWe need people to survive as a country and move forward. Fix the darn housing problem. We don't have an immigration problem.

Prioritization of patient is followed universally, not in Canada only. Even in india if doctor has patient with heart attack and you bring your baby with arm fracture, then doctor will give priority to heart attack patient.

These videos are SO funny. All those youtubers who whine like children about living in Canada are still there. Baby cryers. Canada is NOT a prison. It is not like the former Soviet Union that people were not allowed to leave or North Korea now. If you don't like what you have , then move to another country. Plain and simple and stop whining.

Welcome to Canada baby !!!! thanks Justin ???

My grandad was just a baby when he moved to Pakistan during partition with his family!!!

100% bang on.. I've lived in Dubai (traveled to many other countries).. this is nowhere near being considered as developed anymore (GDP criteria is outdated)..Canada got developed and they forgot to update and even upgrade..!! The drug situation is so bad that I really hope that you didn't come across crackheads/homeless who are under the influence of drugs at all times.. No doubt there are way more homeless people in India, but they are working or at least trying in some way to make their life better and they never hurt you at least, here, it's the opposite, as they literally can do anything.. you can find them roaming all over on the streets of Old Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa.. You can literally find them everywhere.. someone commented earlier that you should give 2 years.. Bro or sis.. it's a complete waste as I am at the same point.. and on top of it when you invested 2 years, it even becomes tougher as it becomes even harder to go back as you have spent so much on furniture, house, car, tools, n all and most importantly - 2 YEARS of life. I left my pregnant wife and have been staying away from her and a 1-and-a-half-year-old baby boy hoping that we'll create a better future and can afford to struggle right now.. its been 2+ years.. Honestly.. I am still not able to figure out whether there is any future or I have spoiled my present looking for a future.. its a dilemma beyond explanation in words, with no relatives or anyone based here.. I've a lot at stake currently and that's the only reason I am stuck otherwise leaving this place seems to be inevitable.. \n\nI travel extensively all throughout and forget about expressways anywhere in Canada (Except 407 which has an insane toll rate) it's a 4-lane highway just 80 km from Toronto to the rest of 450+ kms to Montreal which are 2 major cities of this so-called developed country.. same is for Ottawa, the same hold true from Calgary to Edmonton, and any other major town/city!! on top of it, they are struggling to even maintain those (always under construction - even construction is a wrong word to use as they aren't adding anything new.... it is just being repaired in true words) Same is true with adding new infra in terms of hospitals or any other facility... Banking sucks.. Still dealing through the mail (Postal mail).. (Mails not e-mails). I simply can't get that.. the tax agency - CRA sends communications through the mail, and the same with any other agency.. Comon.. grow up is what I feel at times..!! People are literally not willing to work (Except hard-working immigrants), Govt. doesn't have any plans for the future regarding the economy and development... just bringing in immigrants.. that's it..\n\nYou've made a very smart decision and really at a very good time.. wish you, and your family all the best..!!

Canada .. it seems how good u speak English seems to be a yardstick a phobia to skill talent productivity good job . Etc etc\n\nFact is in today's world top 10 economy only 3-4 speak or care for English!\n\n\nAll that is in focus is English speaking international student to do menial labor jobs....to serve baby boomers is focus.\n\n\n\nAll the industrial investment are geared to packaging warehouse and transportation\n\n\nAnd ofcourse real estate based economic target.. so once interest rate up.. the country is doomed...\n\n\nEven the talent immigrant soon leaves the country as they figure out the economy is hollow optics based ...\n\n\n No depth

Most Chinese international students choose to go back to China because Canada is undevelopped compare to the cities they came from. But for people from poor countries, Canada is heaven, have many babies and the government pays for it.

I was thinking about back to my homeland also, somehow living in canada getting bad… the value of family decreasing, anti babies bias… downgrading man, woman not real one anymore, sex education already introduce and force by government start the age of 4 years,, genders become so many… education ended produce WOKE, …life become confusing in here

?????????... The angry young man father should have made his child sit with him, rather than taking a separate window seat for himself like a baby

Omg we can't even house are born and raised and yet we still keep taking refugees ??? VOTE BLUE BABY. I used to be a liberal and because of who the blue have runing for office he's got my vote ? Conservatives

Mass Immigration is not the answer, if that's all they're pushing it's to force more home building to line the banks pockets. That's all I see. It's driving the cost of everything up to the detriment of people who were born here and lived here their whole lives. Smart immigration (skilled workers) and more incentives to have babies and building up and not out with endless suburbs is the way to go.

Are they citizens with citizenship and the good Canadian babies, people didn’t know this? Talk to people, benefits galore they take with them

If he was trained in Botswana as a doctor why can't he come here and prescribe vaccines for babies?

Cus trump is coming to a border near you baby

That’s happened WEN the president BIDEN LET THIS HAPPEN AND THIS IS NO WAY TO STOP THIS NOW PERIOD AND LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING LIKE IT OR NOT IS MY OPINION,and this reality of life baby.??‍♂️

Total bill 4 c section in USA is $25,000 in 2005. I know personally, luckily I had a mother's insurance pay all but $500. Otherwise I couldn't afford to have a baby in California

You can see some of them smiling as the chaos ensues… \nHolding the babies over their heads as shields…

Lol, my jaw literally dropped when you said it cost your friends $3000 USD to have a baby. And that is WITH insurance??? That is so crazy.

YAY!! Cool... you made it over the border. Now what are you going to do bro. Good luck with being homeless or getting shipped to an overcrowded sanctuary city. What are you feeding your babies tonight?

I lived in the US for 30 years. I hated every year, except for having my sons there. My American husband is a staunch NRA supporter. At the 30 year mark, when I gave him an ultimatum. I gave him 30 years down there, and the time had come where he needed to do 30 years in Canada. We've been in Canada for 6 years, and he doesn't ever want to go back.\nI feel for the new mothers, who only get 6 weeks maternity leave (8 weeks for C-Section).\nCanadian Mums get a full year. Nurturing your new baby is necessary for a well-balanced child. You can't bond in 6 weeks. \nYour health insurance is nuts. We paid $1500/mo. just for our family. Then you have a $5k deductible first! Just walking into the ER is $500 and THEN add on labs, x-rays, meds, etc. My son was in mental health treatment and our insurance capped mental health at $25k for life. \nThe biggest slap up my head, was when I found out I CAN'T collect my SSI. I paid a lot of taxes, since we made 6 figures/year. So, now I'm screwed, since they won't pay a former Permanent Resident. Had I been a citizen, I could get it. My husband is a PR in Canada, waiting to take his citizenship test. If he applies for SSI, he needs to go down to the States for 30 days and nights, annually. \nI'm from Toronto, born and raised and I am so happy to have my feet back in my own country. My boys are still there, as well as my grandchildren. Thankfully, they fly up twice a year. You couldn't pay me to move back.

Candian here just had a baby 2 years ago. Our out of pocket costs were about $30 for parking and we paid a $200 fee to upgrade to a private room for recovery. Of course its not free as my wife and I pay a significant portion of our income in taxes but I don't mind pitching in for the good of everybody.

My husband and I lived in Columbus, Ohio for 12 years. During that time we had two babies, but we had insurance so the price tag wasn't too bad, overall. We made good friends there, all different political views but we got along well and it was great. We lived in Ohio both pre and post 9-11. I definitely noticed a difference in the growing patriotism around us. Even pre-9-11 there was a higher level of overt patriotism than I was used to in Canada. For instance, more people had flags in their yards or America-themed bumper stickers than I was used to in Canada. But post 9-11 patriotism grew immensely, and we started to feel like political views were starting to have an effect on friendships. Also, Ohio passed a conceal carry law (firearms), and I found my awareness that anyone around me might have a concealed weapon unsettling. In Canada the only guns anyone I knew owned were hunting rifles, locked up. But suddenly I had to worry about if there were guns in the houses that my children were visiting. As a Canadian, I just wasn't used to the idea of everyone having guns around. Anyway, we overall enjoyed living in Ohio. The cost of living there was reasonable, the people were friendly, and we only moved when the real estate bubble burst and my husband lost his job. We went back to Canada and, honestly, I've been relieved to be back as I watch the news and see how divided the American people have become. Even some of the friends that I had in Ohio have changed and become a lot less accepting of different opinions. It makes me scared for the future of the US, and the effect it all will have on the rest of the world.

Glad Im in Canada. My son came 3 weeks early. I had chosen to use a midwife and have a home birth. After 30 hours of intese labour and no baby coming, we went to the hospital. When I asked for drugs, transfer of care. They noticed the baby was breach. In rushed the top 3 OBGYN and I had an emergency csection. Followed up by a week stay in the hospital while my premature baby was under a lamp for jaundice. They let my husband stay in the hospital room for us so gave us a private room. Total cost? Nothing

That 10K co-pay for birth could easily have been a complicated birth or a stay in the NICU. The 3500$ co-pay is a simple uncomplicated vaginal birth. So yup. Have a baby in the NICU for a while and the total before insurance bills get up to the hundreds of thousands very very quickly.

This may have already been mentioned below: apart from healthcare (which nowadays is precarious in Canada), in Canada new parents have compensated parental leave (formerly was just 'maternity leave'). The duration and financial support has expanded over time, and there are some differences from province to province, but when I lived in the US the most shocking thing was women pushing out babies and then running back to work within a few weeks. They could technically take a brief period of unpaid leave, apparently, but that's it. Crazy.

The best time to immigrate out of country is when you are single or if you are married and have not planned a baby .. other thing is first find a job and then move out .

? so if you have twins in US irs 6,000.00 ?. Thats unreal. Here in Canada no charge having babies plus moms get up to 18 months to be home before going back to work.

Paying for anything other than parking when having a baby is outrageous.

I feel bad complaining about the cost of parking while I was having my babies 3K is insane

I am Canadian. In 1961 I had a baby girl. In those day you had to stay in the hospital for 5 days. It didn't cost me anything. Then in 1962 I had a baby boy. Same thing; 5 days, no cost. In the early 70's I had to be in hospital to have all of my wisdom teeth removed. No cost. Then in the mid 80's I had major surgery and several days in hospital. No charge. Now that I am in my 80's and very healthy, I get a yearly check up. No charge. I love Canada.

So what happens if you have a baby in the US and DON'T have insurance, or a way to pay?

$6.940 with silver health care is pretty average to pay in America for child birth .Also that's if its a normal birth no complications, even charge for SKIN ON SKIN contact with YOUR OWN BABY ?!?!?!?!? WTF are you doing ?????? Your way out with your thinking ? and easily cost $10.000 even with insurance cover . That's without the many hundreds you pay a month just to buy insurance! Crazy !! It's one big money making scheme !! You pay for insurance and still pay to see a doctor ??? What a con !!

That's insane $3000 to have a baby I remember when my son was born the only bill I had at the end was $200 for a circumcision which I thought was a bit expensive thank god I'm Canadian

I was surprised to find that an American who gave birth in Canada paid $10,000 to have a baby in Canada even though the Father was Canadian! Apparently if she had been Canadian and he was American there would be no charge….go figure!

My Nephew had to pay 8000 for childbirth 17 years ago. I hear they charge new moms a fee to hold their own baby

I can see why that one women who killed her baby did that. 3000 - 10000 for child birth is crazy.

Pretty sure the woman who was pregnant was mostly concerned about no mandantory maturity leave. Not health car so much.\nThat said it is common for Alaska couples with no health insurance to come to the whitehorse yukon hospital to have their babies. They pay for the services but save a lot compared to the cost in Alaska.

Canada has a 12 month maternity leave for new parents. Mom or dad get to stay home with their new baby. There is no charge for anyone to give birth.

I think there’s a possibility of it costing more to give birth in the USA depending on if you had a c-section or not, if your baby require more attention in the ICU for example, if you got an epidural or not.. ect many different circumstances!

It is okay to stop immigration if more babies were born as the average age in Canada is getting older,needs the young ones to come paying taxes to support the healthcare and education benifits,but of course though, more affordable houses needed to be built especially in Vancouver and Toronto as the housing price is already skyrocketed

You only get baby bonus in Canada based on your income

Nitish problem in 26:00 to 26:20 in video update your processor baby

Stop making babies, it's like if I had 7 kids and sent them to Sweden to take care of them

I'm in Ottawa and it is even worse. My 1 year old baby has physical developmental delay and we get rejected from all neurologists. There is absolutely no healthcare system in place. Only emergency care. The healthcare system is a bit better in Toronto. Basically there are no options. If you can move to USA

Blame TRUDEAU for bringing in all THE FAKE REFUGEES AND GIVING THEM THE SHELTERS AND GOVERNMENT FUNDED APARTMENTS, AND PRODUCING BABIES LIKE FACTORIES AND GETTING ALL THE FREE GOVT MONEY AND NEVER WORKED ONE DAY IN CANADA. THEY ARE LIVING THE RICH LIFE IN CANADA.\n\nCANADA SHOULD HAVE THEM SIGN A LEGAL DOCUMENT THAT THEY CANNOT RETURNED TO THEIR COUNTRIES THAT THEY APPLIED FOR FAKE REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS. AMERICA HAS THAT LAW. IN A AMERICA THEY HAVE TO PUT ALL THEM BABIES AND CHILDREN IN DAYCARE, GET WORK PERMITS ASAP AND FIND JOBS. AGE DOES NOT MATTER. STOP SUCKING MONEY FROM THE TAX PAYERS.\n\nEXTREMELY SAD
