Just say the truth instead talking around so much and said only one thing, that you are moving from Canada. Just say, everything is to expensive. The life became running after expenses. At the same time there is less and less opportunities. After you add to all that, the fact that the life style in 6 to 7 months long winter is limited, boring, monotone, mainly in closed environment. Even people who have a lot of money cannot change this life style much. There is a lots of more details, but these are the most obvious once.

Being born in Saskatchewan as well I agree that Canada has suffered immensely in the last decade. I spent the majority of my adult life in Vancouver back when you felt safe everywhere you ventured. Not now, I'm socked at the decline especially the violence and drugs. I've lived in a few other countries over the past 30 years none have surpassed what has happen in Canada. I currently live in the middle east and have never felt safer. The taxation is crazy, the health care system is substandard and getting worse. For those who want to retire, Canada is not very friendly and typically way overpriced. I'm seeing a trend over the last 10 years of people opting for a warmer more friendly climate to spend what should be your years to enjoy life. Something I fear impossible in Canada's current climate!

While watching this video, an ad popped up saying 'Apply to become an immigrant to Canada.' Lol, is this a sign I should move? ?

Canada is hell

@ 9:48 , “10 great things living in Canada and 10 not so great things living in Canada….”\n\nYour internal conflict is palpable. YouTuber Andrew Henderson , “ The Nomad Capitalist “ experienced the same feelings but left Midwest USA over a decade ago. His motto, “ Go Where You’re Treated Best” is his personal guiding principle as well as his business mantra. Unfortunately for you, Henderson’s service is tailored for wealthy clients with 7-8 digit assets.

Yeahh. I am with you o that!\nI too have left, must say now forsightedly, 20 years ago. Canada used to be the most magnificent country on the planet. But that's all gone now. All what's still renains deep in my heart are the endless Alberta blue skies.

The West is being destroyed by design, on purpose. I'm an Aussie, and whilst things aren't exactly great here anymore, it's arguably better than Canada, UK, USA and much of Europe.

Migration has always been a thing. Even more so today, with all the wealth and easy transportation we have. Announcing it on the internet is something new. Look at me? Personally, I think you're just being a self-righteous Karen. It's always greener on the other side of the fence...until it's not. Canada shouldn't let you back in when you miss your home. You're renouncing your citizenship, right? No?

You probably voted fro mass immigrants and said refugees welcomed, and when it was getting you uplikes, no problem, now that its gone too far, you wanna leave? most white women in Canada are to blame for these problems.

Canada is better than USA the reason is lowest cost of living and good health care

Canada's becoming far too expensive. I'm retired now and will be putting my house on the market in September. As soon as it's sold, I'll be off for where I can have access to a good health care system, something that's become more and more important for me as I age.

I meet many immigrants to Canada... the first thing they talk about is.the benefits they can get for free from the state.

Honestly I can't stand whiny jerks complaining about how they hate Canada. Folks I was born in the US and married a Canadian and I can tell you that if you're a whiny little complainer in Canada, THE #3 BEST COUNTRY TO LIVE IN IN THE WORLD according to US News and World Reports, then you need to GTFO of wonderful Canada and go get your ass whooped by anywhere else. And DON'T EVER EVER EVER COME BACK! SLAM!

Just a reminder that Canada is only 38 million people, along a thin strip, right next to the U.S. If we holler for help, you guys are way closer than we are to each other.

Canada doesn't manufacture anything anymore. The only paid work seems to be within the bloated government.

You should have moved to the absolute coldest part of Canada. Most third world immigrants absolutely hate cold. ?

Canada lectures other countries about human rights ???

They’re illegal migrants or refugee claimants entering Canada. JT and Freeland have officially made Canada a third world country.

Canada should’ve put a cap on housing prices during the 90’s. Houses should not be more than 500000.

Canadas prime minister does not care about his people. A terrible prime minister and deserves to be voted out bc he’s done nothing but make it worse there

please just never look at dark sides, Canada still have some aspect to be happy for

No more Canada we live in India ?

Bramton is Canada's Shithole

I have moved away from Vancouver BC, It has turned into a hell hole. Moved to another province and if it doesn’t work out and Trudeau and the Liberals are still in power . I will be leaving Canada what was once a great place to live.

I came back to Canada in 2022 after 20 years living abroad, and it's been a mixed bag. Getting a good job is extremely difficult as international experience is rarely factored into potential employers decisions to hire - even if the companies you've worked for are Fortune 500. If you didn't work for that company in Canada, good luck getting the same position. You'll be working in a junior position despite your previous job title. My wife is currently going through this. She went from Project Manager at one for largest companies in the world to junior developer at a small company. Pay is.......not great.\n\nI've been lucky with having a lot of support of family and friends. A lot of the clients I've started to work with in my profession came through people I know. I never would have got these opportunities on my own in that amount of time. It would have taken years. Nepotism played a big part.\n\nTo come to Canada, and start a new life without a solid support system would be absolutely brutal right now. I got really lucky, but my situation isn't normal. I wouldn't recommend anyone (Canadian or immigrant) to come back right now if they're been gone for a long time. The rent alone is enough to turn anyone away.

I am a Canadian, born from immigrant parents, and I now actively tell potential immigrants NOT to move to Canada because of how bad things are here.

I am happy to hear people who have problems in Canada can leave. It is a relief that those staying here want to build a better country.

Born in Canada, moved to Poland...

We moving back to Canada next year from New Zealand, the reason is the f.....up Government here, the Maori culture, the cold houses in the winter and no job opportunities, including a not good health care. The drugs are everywhere, here we have 7 different gangs on a small island who run the show. I sometimes wished I didn't needed to give up my German citizenship, but that's how that went in 1992.

Canada now turned Islamic terrorist and kalisthani terrorist safest country

Canada is done.

You're from the Ukraine. I suggest you go back home. Reality check before you trash Canada. I live in Vancouver. Born here. I have travelled all over, and there is no better place than here. This is still one of the safest places on the planet. Go. We don't want you here if you don't appreciate what this country offers. Leave.

imagine how bad Pakistan must be for them to want to go to Canada ?

Canada has imported more sandwich artists than she needs.

I wish I could leave. I have stage 4 breast cancer so I’m stuck in Canada. Best wishes Alina on your move!

Bye bye. Having travelled the world Canada is the best country to live. Covid and the world was hit with financial issues etc. look at history and you will see the good and bad times come and go.

Canada is too close to America. when America is heading to hell Canada has to follow.

I moved to Canada 2.5 years ago and I already want out. I am kinda stuck here for a few years more. I don't see a future here and it's very boring imo.

We are gonna Leave Canada too it’s a lie the country I was better in Mexico ??

If we leave, we leave it to India and China. Not happening. I’m born and raised here, and staying to help Canada. Good luck on your journey

Thanks Alina for that fine video .Canada will always be home to you since your mom and dad are here and have friends here no matter where you live and i understand .I think the same way to .

Canada is trying to become pretty much like China! Trudeau is basically Hitler's descendant and probably the no.1 puppet of Klaus Schwab. In fact, Schwab has already expressed his admiration for China's control system. I guess that's how they imagine the world for their New World Order...

The politicians are ruining Canada and hundreds of other countries. They are parasites, liars and cheats.

8 years of liberal Goverment did this to Canada. It will get better after the next election.

I think you need to be patient. Canada is a good place and can be again with the Liberals being replaced. People in Canada are more centre politically than extreme left or right. From what I see with comments across the different podcasts I watch, people in Canada are fed up with the direction he has taken us. A more centre government be in place will bring us back to a more familiar country.

It was interesting hearing Alina's comments and reading the comments, because I recently visited with a Canadian family at a neighborhood function who moved here from the Toronto area, and they feel more at home here (Bentonville, Arkansas, home of Walmart) than they did in their actual home in Canada. They essentially said that Canada was awesome growing up but has changed so much that they felt they had to leave. I know we are seeing some of the same changes in parts of the US, particularly the areas that mirror Canada politically, but hopefully we will avoid those changes here. We cannot take all 30+ million Canadians, but based on my interactions with this family, if most other Canadians are like them, they would be more than welcome here.

My family goes back so many generations in Canada. I left for 15 years and was forced back during Covid. I am thinking omg ..what has happened to my country. .? I hear what you’re saying and I feel it too. I am sure I will leave again soon and hopefully for good …such a sad thing for me to say but it’s the truth .

You're a strong, brave and intelligent young woman. Well done for your decision. \nI'm going to say it - Canada is morally, ethically, politically and financially bankrupt. I left 15 years ago and have never any intention of returning, except perhaps in a box, tbd. This is what years of woke liberalism, bordering on socialism, does to a once thriving country that was safe, full of opportunity and prosperous. The last straw for me was my hometown decided to erase history. I don't recognize it anymore and I don't care. \nMs Alina, you will have plenty of opportunity and a better life, elsewhere. You're a digital nomad and there are plenty of countries that will welcome you with open arms and a visa/residence permit. Good luck and in the meantime I will keep tuning in.

I've been here (Canada) all of my life, and I would not want to live anywhere else on this planet. Everywhere has its pluses and minuses, and things will eventually turn around. As for you, this is great, you're young, the nature/definition of work has drastically changed since I was your age, so yes, I whole heartly agree, go out and make your mark, explore and enjoy what the world has to offer.

Canada is a dead country, and we killed it. At least you can leave. Some of us can't.
