This is what happens when we have a Leftist government in Ottawa. Socilism does not work and only makes everyone poor. Only a Conservative Majority can fix this country.

Well said Ma'am. I am also looking to leave what this country has turned into. Homelessness, rampant inflation and taxes, unaffordability of food and basic necessities, it's horrible what is happening in this country. I can't afford to retire here as housing costs are insane. Health care and welfare are overtaxed to the point of being useless. And it will take decades for this country to recover....immigrants who have come here are now leaving after not being able to survive here anymore. I can't trust the Canadian people to vote to get us out of this mess...

You shouldn’t have to explain why. Anyone who doesn’t see the obvious of what’s happening must be blind. Good for you. You’re doing the right thing. The key is choosing the right re-location.

3rd generation here, I can retire next year as long as I leave Canada. If I remain, I will work until dead because it is so very expensive and getting more so under the cult of climate change. It pains me to witness what our governments have allowed to happen in our communities. Drug abuse is rampant, mental health is staggering, youth are medicated, gender confused and climate terrified. A homeless shelter for drug addicts is being built less than a 4 minute walk from my home which is in a seniors park....we will all be victimized by theft and vandalism. We are also divided thanks to trudeau who has labelled and categorized us so deeply he ran elections based on divisions. We are no longer the kind polite people we once were. Churches burning epitomizes the moral or lack of moral ground we live and act upon. So I am moving next year to central America, Panama most likely...I can afford to retire there, never need to heat my home nor worry trudeau is going to ban my furnace and my car. It saddens me to no end for I have grandchildren, 5 generations, of investment in this country.

Makes me wonder, what happens 10 years ago that could tr@sh 0ut Canada? Oh, yeah! Justin Turd3au was elected!!!

Beautiful story and very sad, the same is happening here in the UK, the western world isn't great anymore but is the grass any greener? Curious to follow your journey!

You need to.plan for your old age, as it happens way quicker than you think

You ain't paid nuffin, when it comes to taxes, like I paid; but i also made millions after arriving here. In spite of all that, my most sincere assessment of Canada is: it is a true and genuine sh**thole country. I am also leaving. There is no hope for any systemic improvement. Canada lived a like a prostitute peddling its natural resources. This place should have been trashed decades ago. But it is happening at rapid pace. Time to move your monies into other places and get out, before it all goes into bin

I have lived in Canada for 65 yrs and agree with your assessment. I honestly never thought it could happen here \nBut it has really hit hard the last 10 years. Have applied for \nNon o visa in thailand , for a new life away from this

Allah says in Quran,” Before the day of Judge, Islam will rule the world and Everyone will be Muslim” and Its happening….

the speech is always the same in every country - I'm from Portugal, the same thing happens here, no one can buy a house or rent a house, the wages are barely enough to eat - I live on the minimum wage, I work to get it, and here immigrants receive the same or more than me without DOING ANYTHING!!!! WITHOUT EVER CONTRIBUTING ANYTHING TO PORTUGAL!!!!! It's unfair to those who work and pay taxes.

This is happening across the entire western world. They want us all poor and subservient.

This is exactly whats happening here in Ireland!\nour government is telling migrants to come for a better life while irish people struggle in a housing crisis...\nin October our govenment anounced it's plan was to give a tent and sleeping bag to any single male migrents at Dublin airport!!!\nwe clearly dont have room!!

They are escaping their Muslim law in their country....NOW they want to apply their same law in a Christian countries.???.... This will end up in a civil war.,.. They should go home....before it happen...think about their children life will be destroy...

Immigrants becoming expats. Happens all the time. Whats the big deal? Would these immigrants give up their German passports? I don’t think so…

The whole of Europe is becoming unwelcome time to ship out, just saw what happened in UK, they don't want immigrants anymore.

Commenting enabled on Guardian? I'm surprised. What happened to suppressing readers comments that you love so much?

you stand last in the competition but speaks great German then your chances to get selected is 100 times higher than the person with adequate degree and more years of experience in the related field. Only concern for them is whether candidate can speak good German or not .If your metric is limited to one measure then this is bound to happen. Immigrants skilled manpower in your country is compelled to work in restaurants, warehouses, bakeries, just because they don't speak the fluent German .

housing crisis is happening all over the world and the US printing money that caused the high inflation not the immigrants ....

I got deported from Canada for having an overstay on my visa tried to get it fixed but couldn’t was very expensive so came back to Europe which is going the same way as Canada mass emigration scary how quick it’s happening.

If you're honestly wondering why this is happening, you've been keeping your eyes shut very firmly for the last 20 years.

Its happening in america also the south americans mainly mexican in 1979 maybe 1 million now over 50 million and counting.

What i don't understand is how leaders of a country are unable to predict this outcome.\nAnyone whit some level of consequential thinking can see this from a mile away.\nKind of obvious that you can't let more people in than you can provide housing and job opportunity to.\nDoes not take a genius to figure that out.\nOr better yet, try and stop the water flow from your shower without turning the knobs and watch what happens to the water.\nIt goes all over the place uncontrollably.\nThat visual is pretty much exactly how the economic and welfare status looks like for a country who let too much immigration slip through in too short amount of time.

I am from Pakistan and all my friends and relatives moved to UK, US, Australia and Canada. When I say all I mean 18 out of 20 left Pakistan and they don't want to come back to Pakistan ever because who doesn't want a better lifestyle for themselves and for their future generations but my father advised me never to leave your country because no matter what other countries will never accept you as their own citizens. Instead of leaving your country try to make it better. \n\nToday I see exactly that happening throughout the world. They want their countries back and you see their hearts filled with hatred against these immigrants. Sooner or later these immigrants will have to sell everything and come back to their countries. What a wise man my father was!

this happen in every countries ??canadians go up the living cost in other countries and vice vers.

This great migration that’s happening in Canada, USA and Europe, is very much planned and orchestrated by the world elites, to have the world under one central government. Don’t believe me? It’s happening right in front of your eyes.

Everyone is talking nonsense here....\n Not a single comment is of useful here.......\n By the way,\n "Can anyone explain,what did just happen .....\n Y security,did't allow the translater to with xi xingping....\n How will the conversation take place withouT him.....\n I think,the security had done a bad joB here .....\n ToO muCh unprofessionalism......

I guess I’ll be having to move to the US if I want any chance of getting housing or work. People who haven’t physically seen the stuff that’s happening here only know the bare minimum. Everything is too expensive, there’s no “Canadian culture” anymore, you can’t get a job, you can’t find a decently priced apartment, rooms for rent (private) are going for 1200$ a month in Toronto (and I’ve seen more expensive). I’m not excited to grow old in the country where I was born as it’s being run straight to the ground. It’s very sad.

Why do you think ? ... this is happening in every weestern nation ... the left destroyed the world .\n. Saying nice words , but destroying nations that aren't yours to give away

Why is anti immigration sentiment on the rise EVERYWHERE in the Western countries ? One would have to live under a rock for not understanding why this is happening !

Well, this keeps happening, it's just a work colony after all

Ok, Canada should study Sweden, especially post-2015 to see what happens when a toxic mixture of naivety and political cowardice takes over. All the problems have been visible for decades but we chose to kick the can down the road hoping it would become someone else's problem.\n\nThe latest move is that Denmark now wants to impose border checks with Sweden.

Great you somehow found a Pic for a thumbnail that includes women and children. It's nice pr but it never happens. They're all military age males

I think all we need to do is pay more attention to what’s happening throughout Europe! Mass migration is destroying everything in its wake, it should and must be stopped immediately, this country is not prepared nor able to support any more immigrants, what we need is to take care of and create security for the Canadians born in this country, the natural population, not immigrant population, extend our hand when we are certain that our own future security is firmly rooted! Including our laws, and ideologies,First Nations and generational Canadian before immigrants.

import 3rd world become the 3rd world happening all over the 1st world

this is happening all over the west

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.

It’s not hard to grasp, Canada makes millions off immigration. They don’t care what happens after these immigrants arrive ,they only care that they pay. So the citizens have to suffer in the end. It’s a loose loose and it comes down to greed

It's about time. Should never happen.

I believe the government should take a more proactive approach to managing the number of people admitted into Canada, ensuring a balanced and equitable distribution. It's important to avoid scenarios where larger groups overshadow smaller ones, which could lead to future challenges. Additionally, we should aim to prevent issues similar to the riots currently happening in the UK.

This is happening throughout the developed world: US, UK, Canada, Australia. Even Norway, one of the most open bordered countries is saying no more. When are people going to accept this is not a race issue?

Comes.around go a round...the west spent centuries colonizing other taking ressources and building theirs beautiful nations then like it was not enougg they establish sistema war sistema political sistema to make the third courntries lides very bad now they need more ressources só they Open border as partnership but their tour chilrldren dont understand the deal behind now the karma is happening

This is happening in Australia too! It’s disgusting.

These politicians go on n on about democracy this,democracy that. Who in the west voted for this ? It’s about time ppl start talking about this. This conversation should of happened many years ago !

From Australia. This is the exact same thing happening here. The first remedy is to vote the current government OUT ! It’s even worse when you bring in people who want you to adjust your culture to suit theirs being the host !?

If being far right against uncontrolled immigration so be it notice this dont happen in poland canada uk have got weak leaders it needs to stop

Why not Traedu and Doug Ford hiring more judges to speed up . Tenancy board is one year behind. Bearocracy enjoying huge salaries. They don't care what is happening with real estate market and tenants are taking advantage

Its happening all over the world. the UK is currently having riots because of this very problem and also religion differences.. its tragic. perhapes everyone needs to stay in intheir own countries and fight like Zapata did for mexico not run away from it

The same is happening here in Europe. All at once. Invasion of the western societies. It will change the wold we know and not for good. It night be the Great Reset thst done people have been mentioning for some time. All those migration floods seem to be organized wnd part of a global scheme. All politicians allow it ir even support it

Makes zero sense that this can happen with no consequence
