Typical city talk. Canada ugly? Get real. Not everybody is that foolish live in cities where you look at concrete all day, and have to deal with pollution, crime, traffic, etc. There are tons of beautiful smaller places in Canada where it's great living. Stop generalizing.\n\nThe weather? That's so lame, since you knew that beforehand, and to spend 10 minutes on that.... again, lame. \n\nCovid? You gotta be kidding me! There is a reason why Canada performed way better than many other countries. We all saw what happened in the USA where they weren't so strict. Again... ridiculous comment.\n\nThe rules? OMG... go to the USA! ???\n\nIsolation? It's pretty sad when you feel the need to live in a major metropolitan to feel happy... ~sigh~

the whole country has become a third world sh^thole run by a man-child dictator and after 8+ years of this sociopath in charge a frankly don't think it will ever recover if your a young person thinking of starting a family time to apply to immigrate to the US as you will never afford a home in Canada and your going to be living under a government that gets more authoritarian with every passing day they will not be happy until they control every aspect of peoples lives they now control what info goes on the internet they have bought and paid for all the mainstream media and are now waging war on any independent media that dares to speak out against the regime the police treat citizens as if they are enemy combatants in a war zone the country gets one step closer to a communist dictatorship with every day that Trudeau is in power

Not all religious cultures mix well, it's better to go where you feel happy.

As an African who immigrated to Canada and became a Canadian citizen, I am so happy I don’t live and work in Canada anymore. I left that hellhole 15 years ago and I’ll never go back!

I am happy for Canada by your decision! ?

It's only the ' dark side ' to those who don't realize what a great country this is. If you're not happy where you are, moving to another location will not make anything better. Be happy in your heart before you move anywhere. In comparison to the U.S., we have a pretty layed back life.

Listening to your reasons for leaving Canada, it's abundantly clear to me (as a 76 year old who's travelled the world) that you're not going to be particularly happy wherever you live.

Some non-muslims are happy that you guys are leaving. They don't realize that the brown people they hate who collect welfare benefits won't leave. They will stay. ??\nIt's the talented muslims with resources who are moving and taking their wealth with them.

And the English are happy they have no guns for self defense how stupid

Never heard of this family, but decided to watch the video and it actually makes me support their decision to leave. They are critical about everything. I think perhaps they will never find happiness in any western country. But, I also think in a dominantly muslim country they will miss the western culture...farewell

Sounds like you want to live in a Muslim country. Canada is a secular country, so this is not a good fit for you. I wish you peace and happiness wherever you go.

Why don't take everyone else that has your mindset with you? I am happy to support your gofund.

Not all provinces are as expensive as BC. The old expresion of BC-bring cash . On the other side of the rockies there,s something called Chinook winds , which deposits warm air from ,yup from ,BC and it,s dry as well . Also you,d be giving up free heath care ,stable policing ,stable goverment ( no revolutions ), US included . Before you give up you,re Canadian citizenship ,you may want to test fit other places first,just saying . But lucky for you getting to make multible U-tube videos to finance for wherever you land up . And when you land in another country you can make more videos about how you,l , Return , back to one of the best places ,on the planet . If only you were a little older then you may have a better sense of world history under you,re belt . Happy travels .

Is this for real happening in this big country like Canada?? But why?? And why the government not doing anything to solve these issues?? When i ask Canadian people they just show how they're happy to living there?? Im really confusing now and i will come soon

Another click bate from a sponsored video! I am a very happy immigrant for more than 25 years now and my child have grown and worked hard to where he is very economically stable now. And yes, my child just started working 3 years ago and now owns his own condo which he bought with his own money. All this was achieved coming to Canada with just rent money. I had heart surgery and my wife is a cancer survivor. We had excellent health service where in the most expensive thing I spent for was for parking in the hospital!

The crime rate and violence are much higher in the USA than in Canada. I was born and I live in Montréal very happy and feeling very safe in my city and all over Québec. I don't know to who the Canada bashing is serving. Pretty sad, so much negativity that our country does not deserve.

I think everyone should be able to live in the society that fits their lifestyle and beliefs and raise their families as they wish , I live in a small southern town and would never be happy in a large city.

yeah i think is a great idea, just go and be happy

Just return stolen land back to the Native people. Big country white colour doesn’t guarantee happiness. Don’t be enslaved and die unhappy. Be authentic and be contented with simple living within one’s cultural heritage. Don’t try to be white just be what you are in your original identity

Kudos to all Indians who r living happy nd jolly life in Canada here in India is Miserable to live..i hope ur children's also do well in future.??

I am very happy that people who dont like Canada are deciding to go back to India, its good for us immigrants who are able to live in peace because we are ready to go through struggle and we like the country. Couple of years ago, people were randomly and blindly coming to Canada without knowing ANYTHING about the country and unfortunately everything was crowded.

I can understand your frustration with Canada, but honestly it sounds like you won't be happy anywhere in the west. Good luck.

Good luck in your move. Very happy to hear this.

makes me happy..good luck

Happy trails glad you're leaving we don't need islam here

As an American I am pleased that you've made this decision. Islamic values are TOTALLY incompatible with the West and I'm sure you'll be happy in any Muslim country. Muslims always had assimilation issues with the west and will continue to have, no matter how much a muslim tries to adjust to western values (which muslims actually don’t try anyways). We all can understand your plight Muslims. Your support for Palestine tells it all. I've heard the azaan go off in Dubia on the same street as a Discotheque, meaning they are adjacent to each other. I'm sure this isn’t hypocrisy.

I haven't been to Toronto since 2019. Now, I'm not sure I'll come back. I was always happy to take the TTC, but now hearing this, no.

I love living in Canada. I own my >$1.5 million condo with an ocean. I make a 6-figure annual salary from my job. I also have saved a large sum of money which provides me a consistent stream of taxable interest income. Frankly, I hardly care about how other Canadians live their lives as long as I am happy with mine.

I like your commentary hate your free Palestine hat so happy you are leaving

Saleh Family,\n\nSo many posts wishing you 'well' on your planned move but not one speaking out about your reasons or the discrimination you faced for wearing a Hijab or that Canada is supporting a Genocide.\n\nIt is almost like they are happy to see you leave because you are Muslim. Sorry to say that many of these 'wishing you well' posts are in fact clear proof of racist mindsets.\n\nIf they cared, they would have been sad that someone is leaving because they faced inhumanity.

Hi Brother / Sister ( SALEH's Family ) Well, your decision to leave Canada is good & courageous ... specially for the sake of your children. Your story is absolutely true , because you are not alone to face this facts. Many other families also are preparing / or are already left this country for some reasons as yours.....But now my very QUESTION to you , may looks quite embarasing & difficult ....Where are you going to find really a GOOD place ( a Paradise Country ) to live a happy life ? .... well by now, in this year 2024, there are WARs everywhere. There are MAD / CRAZY people everywhere. Our planet Earth is full of EVILS .... Well, I mean , You & me / everybody are living in the same boat ....sailing on a very BAD sea. The Evil Spirits are now present in almost all societies ( The Corrupt Governments / bad Politicians / bad Educations / attacking Churches or bad Health care system . No security & dangerous people everywhere) etc .....By now, the only place, You can find a little happiness to live a Safe & peaceful life, is in CHINA . Bye & God bless you all .....( John NG )

I mean, you will make everyone happy with this decision! Well done. Hope more of you leave ?

So happy to hear you have finally made this decision! If you're still considering exactly where to relocate to, I would recommend Gaza. I've heard Khan Younis is quite warm in the winter.

Super happy you are leaving. Canadian's fought and died, fighting a Nazi alliance that wanted the genocide of Jews. Why don't you go to an Arab country, with a democracy that is Muslim and will allow your daughters to have the choices they want? Oh right. There is none.

Come to China. It's amazing! I moved to China from Canada 7 years ago. I am so happy I made the decision to leave. ?

I'm happy for this Dadi because she lives in Pakistan❤❤❤

Salamo alekom\n\nI hope you guys and ur family will be happy and successful wherever you go. U guys are talking about my dream. I am finishing my medical education and training in the next couple of years. I hope i will be able to do same and find a job in a muslim country where i can raise my kids in a real islamic environment.?????

Hang onto your passports folks just in case you're not happy in the 15th century!

As somebody who is a European and loves democracy and freedom, I wish you a happy travel to wherever you want to go. I hope it's not a Western country.

Word of caution, in regards to climate , too hot is worse than too cold.....if you end up somewhere without air-conditioning , it is going to be much worse then having access to heating in winter.....been there , so I know :) Another comment, try to separate religion from politics,. If you were born in Canada, you might not be fully aware of the difference between democratic and non-democratic societies. Religion only is not enough to make you happy, and having two girls and willing to risk their rights, require at least a conversation with someone that knows more about it. I have my own experiences and it seems to me that you idealize societies in which these rights are non-existent . You are right, Canada has become a very different country than it was when I first got here, but is still far cry from where you are planning to go. Beware of things that people are not saying , and have your due diligence done for the sake of your children.

One less a....le f . \nSo happy to hear that you decided to leave Canada

Canada please i think with $20 billion dallars you can give and Home to the homeless people with the factory Capsule houses the prices range from $28 .000 and above depend on the rooms ,Make the world ???? a better placeb,,, there are even simple ones that cost about $4.000:dallars with everything Kitchen etc toilet and baths, just clear some Land floor it and place the capsule houses there they will be happy

Why didn't you guys go back any earlier. Remember this is not a Muslim country and you cannot expect rest of Canada to follow Muslim. Please go back I will help you with your air-ticket if you are that broke. We are very happy in Canada and we are living a very comfortable life here. we don't live from pay cheque to cheque. We have enough money to enjoy Canada. We are not business owners or rich & famous people. We came here 20 years back and honestly thankful to God with our decision made to Migrate from Asia. Please go don't come back !

From my point of view you will not find a better country to live than Canada. But make you happy and try it.

Im happy for you guys to embark in new adventures and new life somehwere you guys will enjoy living for the sake of Allah and keeping your iman strong. Wishing you nothing but the best. \n\nAlot of these comments are so disgusting to say the least. I hope people will find peace and kindness before dying because what a painful punishment.

I would hope you could find happiness in Canada. One of my concerns about living in a theocratic country would always be, is this choice really your own? Can you ever be certain, if faced with violations of your rights, that the choice is really yours? And, if not, can you consider yourselves as choosing Islam, rather than being forced into it, even if in absence of theocratic rule, you would have chosen it anyways? Maybe I’m overthinking it. I have the tendency to do that. I think if I were Muslim, I might choose Tunisia. I’ve known people from Tunisia and it sounds like they’re pretty open-minded, but still obviously predominantly Muslim. I’ve been to Dubai, and while I see many people recommending it, I honestly thought it was the worst combination of East and West. All the commercialization of the West, but none of the democracy. Plus, if you are not native Emiratis, you will always be second class. I’m from the US in what I think is the mini-Canada (ok, the Twin Cities) and we have a big Muslim community, but I’m very concerned Trump will win again in 2024, and I don’t know what will come of it. My daughter is part Afghani, but raised Catholic because her father’s side is irreligious. But I still worry for her, looking like she does and carrying that last name. People are so awful.

Good on you go to a Muslim country where you are happy. Be happy.

I AM REALLY REALLY HAPPY THAT BOTH OF YOU are leaving. You should have immigrated to a MUSLIM FAITH based country ie. DUBAI, SAUDI ARABIA.\nWhy CANADA?????\nOUR culture, and majority of citizens are CHRISTIANS THUS it is foreign to you.

Comments section proves what you said. So much racism. I'm happy that I watched this even before making up my mind to go to Canada.

Great decision. We are wery happy for Canada.
