I live part time in the USA during winter. Absolutely enjoy the warm climate. It is certainly a different experience. English is somehow annoying since I am French but this is expected and can live with it. From my point of view, it's hard to say if the overall experience is better or worse. Will not consider moving in the US full time. Quebec is my home and I am deeply attached to it.

Loved the video. Thanks for sharing your experiences and talking about so many topics. Can you do a video comparing the cultural differences between collaborating in Canadian companies/jobs vs your experience in Singapore? I’m in the U.S. and considering moving to Canada but would like to know more about the general workplace work/life balance and if people work remote or are always in the office, etc. thanks!

I’m originally from Kazakhstan but have lived all my adult life in California (21-41) and now considering moving out of state or even country. I do have still another 10 years I need to live here to accomplish a few of my career goals to live more comfortably afterwards, but in a long run this is not a place to live anymore. Even in the past 20 years I’ve lived in California I’ve witnessed economy and the whole family values goes down the drain, more homelessness, less opportunities, people are more selfish, etc. I know it is happening all around the world too but as in this video it was stated, it is much harder for me to be a practicing Muslim in an environment surrounded by non Muslims (no offense) - just the lack of mosques in my vicinity, an Islamic environment for my child, halal foods, etc. There are mosques and halal food, but I have to drive for it. I have wonderful friends, coworkers and neighbors that are non Muslim and super nice and we have great relationships. But there are oftentimes situations when I wish they understood me better like with this situation about Palestine. I think Palestine is the last drop we needed to firmly make the decision to move.

If you want to move consider the following options: The Netherlands(northern part), Hungary, Romania(not so big incomes but friendly people and english speakers), russia(i know it is weird but take a closer look) , azerbaidjan (oil). It is about what you want to be and what are your skills.Good luck!

Great answer..\nThere's no way. it's like to leave our own house to the intruders and let them make our house as theirs..\n\n\nWhenever people criticizes the cruelty and evil and the wrongdoing of israel, they will be considered as anti-semitic, Jewish haters or whatever..\nIt's not about hating on Jewish but it's about a hundred thousand of innocent souls of the Palestinians that lost their lives to protect their own land, home, family and their right from the intruders and oppressor, Israel.\n\n\n\n\nIt's weird.. whoever support the German's Third Reich (Nazi) genocidal maniacal murderers is considered as lunatic Fascist and Anti-Semitic..\nBut whoever against the Zionist's genocidal maniacal murderers is considered as Anti-Semitic? \nWhat the hell??\n\nFor Palestinians, Don't you worry for the truth will prevailed. The Almighty never abandoned the believers of HIM.\nMay God The Almighty ease your heart with peace and love.. \nMay God The Almighty bless you with strength of heart, strength of mind and strengthen up your faith, for HIM is The Best Helper.\n\nMy heart and support always be with you, Palestinians. May The One and Only The Almighty protect all of your.

I look forward to seeing the top 10 places you are considering. This is a recurring thought I have lately to move to a Muslim country

Can yall please recommend books to help me learn about Islam? I understand I cannot hold the Quran because I'm not Muslim but I'm considering converting but I do not know enough to do that respectfully. My husband is, however, Muslim.

before considering moving to Canada, watch the new documentary here on youtube, called: Canada is dying

?, You can consider muslim countries like Malaysia, Indonesia. Singapore is not a muslim country but we are able to practice islam here.

True & Honest. You based it in a good higher ratio of salary & still fairly calculated disaster. Imagine if an average working class making only $ 35-40k per year single person. This is majority of single immigrants. Below poverty but no other choice but to keep going. \nRetired here & achieved good career but as soon you reach 65/ pensioner , Canada put you on poverty level receiving $1,700 / a month ( based on working full time for 35 years ) no private company pension. Luckily I have private company pension but still considered on poverty level as senior. \nDifferent story if you saved money etc rrsp… yeah right lol \nGo figure if you’re renting or have fully paid condo / house… can’t afford maintenance fee, bills etc. \nended up selling the place. Lol back to poverty level. ?

I am from the Middle East.\nI am so ashamed of our people who was Muslim by birth living in Canada or any country supports. The ge/noc/ide\nAlso I am so proud of you....... You bring tears to my eyes.... Don't don't go to the UAE Consider oman or Qatar or Turkey. Turkey is the best price Of food groceries And nature But Islamic activities.\nQatar, then Oman. May Allah protect you.

Considering your 5 reasons altogether, your best options are South Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Enjoy. \nSee you back in Canada when what it really means to be grateful will hit you like a ton of bricks.

I am a dual USA and Turkish citizen. I highly recommend migration to Turkiye. I don't recommend Istanbul because it is too crowded, costly, and inflationary. Have you considered fight instead of flight? Any government support for isNOTreal is top down tyranny. Most of the Canadian population, and sizeable number of Jews, are against isNOTreal, and if not so, can easily be swayed in that direction. The isNOTreal lobby can afford to buy the politicians in both parties but obviously cannot afford to buy the majority of Canadians themselves. If you start or participate in a grass roots political and economic movement to boycott and sanction the Canadian government, and the companies and organizations that support isNOTreal, Allah sbtl will be on your side. Hasbin Allah wa enaeymal wakeel (Allah sbtl is all we need). Stuggle against the enemies of Islam with all your means.

Your number one reason is SO UNDERSTANDABLE. Thank GOD I'm in AU ; AU DEMANDED an immediate ceasefire. We are horrified and disgusted at the morally bankrupt horrifying stance of the U.S., Canada & much of the EU to this horrifying genocide. I'd consider Finland or Sweden ...they are the countries with the least disparity btwn the least and most privileged. However, there are the winters! Travel safely.

I am not Muslim and I therefore do not have the same experiences as you but I am a second generation U.S. immigrant and I wanted to say I am considering leaving as well for many of the same reasons you gave. And I think you are very brave to stand up for your beliefs regardless of what happens.

Have you guys considered Ireland?

Dear cute couple, why aren’t you considering Qatar as an option ?

Dear Saleh & Family!\n\nI respect your thoughts BUT I strongly suggest you to consider the following points before you make your decision:\n\n1. Is your current place not at all allowing you to practice your Deen \n\n2. What about your earnings, job or business because its not easy to start in a new place.\n\n3. If you have even few close friends or real social network in your current place then remember that you will not find the same in new place\n\n4. For extreme winter case you could move to another city during worst winter.\n\n5. The Grass looks greener at the other side BUT is it really green

Maybe you consider to move to Indonesia.

Have you considered Bosnia? It's cheap place to live and you have mosques everywhere. You can express your religion freely and yet again living in Europe.

Hi Brother and Sister... if you guys are still looking a country for your family, you might want consider to stay in Indonesia? ?

Please consider friendly comment : Since most CA contents here are consumed abroad, when you throw # or ranking, please put something to compare/reference. Eg.\n1. Homicide rate 2/100k/yr.. is that high? low? Compare to your home country? Easier is just to flash static plot for different countries... That also goes for income #, housing, etc...\n2. When saying $, I assumed USD(since I am from US, you know. stereotypical american .lol). Labeling CAD or USD instead of $ would be great... \nLove seeing closing summary.. hope you successful...

Mr. Saleh,\n\nI recommend that you consider immigrating to the Emirate of Sharjah, situated within the United Arab Emirates. The city is characterized by its exceptional security and safety. Additionally, this location provides a secure environment for families, as there is a plentiful availability of employment opportunities across all fields of expertise. Simultaneously, it is a traditional emirate and aligns perfectly with every part of your proposal. To the esteemed family:\n\nGreetings,

I am considering moving for the same reasons as well. ❤

I also have plan to move from USA to any muslim country within next 4/5 years when our kids will go to school. Just one thing its Assalamualikum. Not slamalikum. Please not a hate comment i think its my duty to teach something i know correct way in Islam. Best of luck with moving. We will follow you as consider you as a guide.

when i can't make friends what would i want to the in the country??? consider i may don't like people of my nation

anyone who tries to push the narrative that neighboring states don't like or want to help the palestinians, doesn't fully grasp one of the main concepts of this conflict. they consider this their homeland and they know if they leave, israel will not let them return. just like the millions of other palestinian refugees that currently live in neighboring states.

Um, you might want to consider the possibility that most, maybe all of the problems you list were created by naive leftists like yourself. Millions of people like you, voting like you, put this idiocy in charge. Everything you describe is the inevitable endgame of liberalism. You voted for it, you got it, now STFU and live in it.

Uou should consider Indonesia as the place for the moslem Environment fo you guys to live.. Since we are the biggest Moslem country in the world.. And another one, we known as the friendliest and the nicest people.. We live in tolerant each other

Mashallah I totally support your plan may allah make it easy for you. \nI also hone school my kids a decision which was made to protect their imaan from the vice in schools today. We are now also now strongly considering leaving the country as I can't bare to see how the society is breaking down with little or no freedom of speech. \nI wish you well in your journey and hope to learn more of your relocation. ( who knows we may copy cat you ?) \nbless you and your beutiful family. x

Even I am considering Hijra to a Muslim country where our iman will not be as interrupted as the way its in a Non-Muslim country and I wish to have a Muslim friendly environment for me and my family. So i am eagerly waiting for your video upon top countries to settle ❤

Remember the Arab world considers the Palestinians as the Gypsies of the Middle East. Hence why Arab countries are refusing any refugees

Don't even consider U.S.A. Or Great Britain....unfortunately, they both check all the same boxes that Canada did, especially your #1 reason.

I figured this was coming eventually. Canadians were known my entire life up until the last few years as jolly, mind your own business folks who didn’t mind a hockey fight but it’s really been a drastic cultural shift. I’m sure we see more of the degeneracy via social media which makes it seem bigger than it is and brings the psychos out of the woodwork but you’re right—you see more needles and prostitutes and drag shows and things targeting kids who should just be kids all the time. I haven’t considered leaving the US but I’ve moved counties and I’m preparing to do it again and get farther out from the city. It takes guts, especially if you’re going over an ocean. I’m proud of you guys for being brave enough to start over!

Assalamu alaikum I live in the Island of Trinidad in the West Indies. We have poor political leadership and progress is slow. However, our religious tolerance is second to none. We have hundreds of masaajids and many Sunni islamic institutions. We are happy muslims here living side by side with Hindus and Christians, Jews etc. Our Government is neutral on the Palestinian issue but we are free to demonstrate and march and sign petitions. We do have a crime problem. I do hope you will consider our beautiful country with its warm weather and beautiful beaches. We are also halal food center for the region. Alhamdulillah hearing your plight has helped me to appreciate my country even more. Ameen.

I am a Christian in America so for your last issue I’m opposite from you politically because I believe that my God promised his people (the Jews) that land. With that said, your family is the type of Muslim that would be extremely welcome in America by the Christian community because of your views on LGBT+. There are Muslim YouTubers, have you considered reaching out to some of them like BakemydayMimo? It might be easier if you had someone who had your faith and unique job to introduce you to a new community. Even though I disagree with you on some things, I wish you the best of luck, and if you move to my community in Pennsylvania you will be welcomed (even though it’s still cold)

Consider Qatar

I’m Pakistani and I honestly would consider moving to Pakistan but one thing is that u gotta keep ur stuff with you at all cost because it might get stolen. Why you should move to Pakistan is because the Azan goes off when it’s time for prayer I’m pretty sure, and also just the beauty of Pakistan is amazing ❤

Man I think all Muslims in us should fallow your lead. Is like us here in USA we are Christian’s and would not consider to be in a Muslim country so we can practice with peace .

Malaysian Canadian here, living in Ottawa. My husband and I are also having these same thoughts esp since these recents events. Will love more thn anything to move back to Malaysia. Hope you consider it as your new home. May Allah make it easy for you.

00:01 We are leaving Canada due to the harsh winters.\n01:17 High cost of living and seasonal depression are the main reasons for leaving Canada.\n02:36 Lack of Islamic environment in Canada\n03:54 Concerns about safety for daughters wearing hijab\n05:03 Growing up in a place without visible Muslims to now being in a place with many visible Muslims and considering the impact on their children.\n06:22 Canada has deteriorated and is not safe for raising kids.\n07:40 Leaving Canada due to government support of genocide in Gaza and Palestine\n09:02 Leaving Canada for new opportunities

Consider tunisia it is one of the most beautiful, peaceful and superb country

Do consider Brunei. Its sunny year round just like Malaysia. it’s easy to find halal food, you will certainly enjoy our islamic environment where you have easy access to pray. We have zero to low crime rates, it’s pretty safe. The foundation of education is based on islamic values. No matter where you choose, I do hope you find what you are looking for.

Also considering the same, all the best to you inshahAllah. . Sadly many Muslim countries are also somewhat complicit in current war, or could definitely be doing much much more..

I 100% agree Canadian society is falling apart. So much rainbow propaganda *everywhere* and yep, here in BC its tents, needles and overdoses on the sidewalk. the government does nothing to help the tragic situation. Not an easy environment to parent in. I applaud you for your choice to make hijra masha Allah, i think anyone who can afford to should definitely at least consider it. ?

May Allah guide you to what's best for you, you will still be travelling with a Canadian passport and all the perks that it comes with. Plus, I don't think this is considered hijrah because you are allowed to practice your faith and your life is not in danger. You want some place different and that meets your needs and wants. Just thought to put this out there.

Considering half the population is Saudi’s I’d think he’d be a little nicer to his people

Wa'alaikumsalam Saleh fam. I am a Malaysian, specifically from Kuala Lumpur (KL), who has been living in the States for 25 years. I share your concerns and problems. For years, my American husband has been suggesting for our family to permanently relocate to KL. And for all those times, i ignore him, but this Isnotrael-Palestine war has made me consider it.\nMalaysia is very beautiful, people are friendly, food is amazing! Just wait til Ramadan, you'll love it. If you have any questions, let me know. I'll help the best i can.

U hv to consider malaysia.. ??

I am also considering leaving Canada after being here for almost 50 years.\nYou have to plan everything carefully, especially when it comes to selling your assets and transferring your hard earned savings to a foreign country.
