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

I came to this country as an immigrant in the 80’s. Back then, people were proud to be Canadian and they “advertised” it by wearing small maple leaf pins on their hats or backpacks when travelling. The Canada that I came to WAS a proud country, respectful of its veteran citizens, and WAS a beacon of western ideals. \n\nThis Canada DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE. This is not the country I immigrated to. It has regressed socially, economically, politically and militarily. If the Canada of today existed in the 80’s, I would not have come here.

Canada has been taken over by globalist shills and so is the US and most of Europe. Go further east.

You can thank woke yuppies and Liberals ideology for destroying Canada I truly believe that Alberta and Saskatchewan need to get out of confederation to make a better life for our children and grandchildren

Allow a 75 year old to advise you. 1. Listen to advice. At 33 we have often had a lot of experience and therefore confidence. However developing perspective that is really relevant takes a long time. 2. I notice some people who are commenting recommend Malaysia. They are correct.\nProbably at your age the digital nomad visa is easiest in the first instance. 3. I am familiar with Canada, US, and several other countries. I am Australian and have been retired in north Thailand for 16 years. Am happy here but will be moving to Malaysia shortly. 4. Space does not allow me to list all the reasons for giving you this advice. Understand that if you live there, moving on to Singapore for a more dynamic business environment. 5. The downside for you may be the full-time hot and humid weather. In addition the dating scene may be unsatisfactory, at least initially. I started this comment before I realised you had already selected a country, but am sending it anyway. It is unlikely you will want y ask me anything, but feel free if you do. Best wishes.

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?

Canada's immigration policy is a joke. As the CEO of a multi-national company employing hundreds of people in Canada and ready to invest millions into the Canadian economy, I was waiting for a work permit for three years, and my PR process has already taken two years without seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. \nCanada's IRCC prefers to bring the weak and the vulnerable, which will weaken the economy and the infrastructure even more. While those capable of creating wealth for this country would be looking for the opportunities in the more welcoming economies.

I applaud what you are doing. At 80 years old I recently drove 2100 miles to get a better rent price. It was a weeklong trip. I hope I can still to this in the future. Because my soul is still hungry and my wallet is still empty most of the time because of the same problem in the USA as you have experienced in Canada. I don't follow everything you post, but I'm still a loyal fan. Wax on, мій друг.

Thank you for sharing your story. There are so many Canadians who share your views and who are equally upset about the state of affairs in Canada, including me and my husband. We have recently started contemplating moving to Serbia (my home country). Compared to Canada, Serbia has very affordable housing, and a much better healthcare system. Moreover, the majority of the population also speaks English and for someone coming from an an English speaking country like Canada, this is a huge bonus. Good luck on your journey and you have made the right decision to move.

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

If you cant afford to moving the US,moving to Canada is choice better than others

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.

Trudeau's Librards destroyed Canada in under 10 years

Stephen Harper had set it up so Canada would be debt free within 2 years. Trudeau has ruined that in such a short time and gave us so much more debt, despite over charging us for BS climate control taxes that go into liberal pockets.

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

Alina, stay and fight to bring Canada back.

Just don't bring liberal socialist ideas to a new country to destroy it as well. CANADA is screwed!

Canada lectures other countries about human rights ???

Canada has no rule of low. This is THEFT plain and simple. Banana republic. Actually in a banana republic , you can get the police to evict.

Sad for Canada Australia Britain America or anything wèst that's why i love living in Thailand

I challenge you..can you show any Asian Indian immigrant homeless? No you wont. There are no homeless Asian Indians anywhere. They came to Canada to live in a house, not to live homeless.

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

The wealthy won't stop until they have everything! The US and Canada suffers from this because of EXTREME Capitalism! Your tax money goes to subsides for large corporations and not the people. This needs balance to improve the social contract. The rich buy everything up and charge the masses whatever they please, not what the market will bear! People go into huge debt just trying to live! (and they make more money from that!) And then they lobby to pay the least amount of tax when the common people pay more! It is all out of balance, there needs to be a better balance between Socialism and Capitalism.... not toward Oligarchy and Fascism! The age of the Robber Barons has returned!

@visaman - Canada. Planet Earth. Big country, not hard to find. I'm curious about the point of your question?

I've been to Canada several times as a tourist, visiting the country's biggest cities and always finding it a great vacation destination. But the last few times I've been there I've noticed the decline, especially in the bigger cities. Last year I was in Toronto and had to look down to avoid stepping in human feces and to the sides to avoid being attacked by some drug addict going crazy.

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

Progressive liberalism destroys every city and nation. There is only one way out of this mess, but Canada will not succeed because too many people still believe what they see on television instead of what is actually happening.

The West overall is going through same:\n - Very expensive housing in major cities.\n - Expensive groceries.\n - Declining population.\n - Shortage of workforce.\n - Faltering healthcare, long wait times.\n\nThis is pretty much the story from Canada, US, UK or anywhere in Europe especially in Germany, Netherlands. All is not gloom and doom though, certain trends might slow down and some might reverse because things can't stay the same forever and something has to give.

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

In the 80s and 90s Canada received thousands of immigrants who believed they were living the Canadian dream and obtaining nationality was a great honor, what happened to Canada to get to this point, every year I see dozens of farmers selling their land and emigrating to Brazil, and prospering in soybean plantations and raising cattle, when I ask a Canadian farmer why he came to Brazil, I only see a tear drop and answer Canada is in the past and he needs to guarantee the future of his family.

Canada is a great Country, Candians deseve better

Even so, I think there are few countries in the world better than Canada. Although, I only have memories of a trip to Canada from 15 years ago…

Canada is broken

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.

Come to Bangkok and enjoy South East Asia. Inexpensive, friendly and relatively easy to navigate visa work. Born Canadian in 55, left Canada in 02. Tried to move back a few times. Probably end here. ????✌??

I thought Canada ?? under Trudeau was just wonderful... ???

Born in Canada, moved to Poland...

Canada now turned Islamic terrorist and kalisthani terrorist safest country

Let me guess it's either Thailand or Vietnam your planning to move to , I am waiting for my 20 years staying here in Canada and planning to move abroad as well so that I can still recieve my pension abroad if I was on my retirement.

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

I recently visited Canada and thought I was in China or India??

I'm from Texas. As a young fool I married a Canadian woman in 79. I'm a military man, army strong. So, many deployments all over the world. Oh, wife was also military, Canadian military. Our time together was limited. She left the military in 1990, got sick with cancer in 93, died in 93. I moved to Canada then, to be with the kids. Kids grew up, and I moved away. I recently returned to Canada after roughly 30 years away. I'm also leaving. I can't stand this place. And I've learned that the insanity in Canada is worldwide. I don't recognize the UK, Italy, Poland, Germany. Everything has changed. Right now I'm in Texas panhandle, on the ranch my father and his father ran. Thousands of acres, horses and cattle and dogs. I almost never see the neighbors. I love it.

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.

It breaks my heart. I love Canada, and corruption and poor policies have destroyed the future for at least a generation here. There's no identity, unity, or hope for a better life here.

True save Canada ❤❤❤ these is disgusting. Canada is such a beautiful country now it's going down. ??

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

From international student to exploded employee? What’s their true intentions coming to Canada?

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.

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
