I'm a retired Canadian and moved to Colombia 6 years ago and life couldn't be better. My sister lived north of Toronto, sold, and moved to New Brunswick 2 years, but finds the cost of living unbearable, and is now moving down here as well in September. If you are considering such a move or are curious about it, drop me a line and I'll be glad to help.

I am curious. Canada's population has grown every year, including 2023. So, are there more people coming than going? Or, is this premise wrong in fact?

I am curious to know how many people under 30, who are from Canada, still see their future here? or are planning to move to another country. I am in my 40s, and watch every day as justin gives away everything I have worked for in my life. I will be selling my home soon, most probably to an immigrant family, because the cost of existing here has become way too high. FYI.... as a CANADIAN I dont have another country I call home and can go back to once Canada is completely fucked.

Been curious about how Masjidil Aqsa looks like close-up.. Palestinian have been protecting it for years??????

This is missing SOOOO much of the actual story of what is going on over here. There is a lot of corruption in our housing market fueled by faked incomes just for starters. That's not including the massive supply and demand crunch we are facing on multiple fronts from having too much people suddenly, to having not enough housing suddenly. For those curious, you can find some CBC marketplace videos that cover some of this from a couple years back. The banks have been caught f'ing around as well, what with pushing through mortgage requests that should never have been allowed to occur; and that's just what we know about. \n\nNo offense to anyone in this video, or anyone else like them. We know that a good large chunk of most of you are not at fault here with what's going on. But there are some people from all sorts who are all doing their own dirty little deeds, and they are culminating into the gigantic pile of BS that the rest of us now get to deal with. \n\nAnd make no mistake, what I am saying is not even close to the full extent of the BS going on. This is just one facet of it. There still is the universities mentioned that we need to talk about, whom have been fleecing internationals for years now. Or our employers who have gotten real used to having access to basically almost slave labor by comparison the wages and employees they would have to normally deal with. \n\nAnd again, none of this is being said to blame those who come here looking for a better life. If anything, I want to apologize for the BS you found here as well, that was well hidden by the BS masters who got you to come here. \n\nBut just like how oxygen feeds a fire without necessarily meaning to... well... let's just say that a downturn in applications is a really good thing for us right now. \n\nCome if you want, but don't come unprepared. You will regret it. Sorry, seriously.

Just curious, what are the statistics of those immigrating to India? Mind you, I know Canada is messed up big time, but not being honest doesn't help.

Curious where you will go, when Saudi and UAE team up on Qatar, what ME country is aligned and true?

Just a curious thought on the housing crisis. Why isn't anyone bringing up foreign and multi-home ownership as part of the supply problem?

I'm curious, where are you intending on going?

It definitely sounds like that is a good decision for you and your family. \nThings have taken a huge down turn almost everywhere. Soooo much war and anger in the world now. Many countries are moving more and more to the far right and with that comes alot of corruption and abuses of human rights. Just be wary of the grass is greener on the other side mentality. I wish you the best in your journey thru life and very curious about where you will decide to go.

Actually inflation in Canada is one on the lowest rates among OECD countires. The US rate is lower, but we have national health care and subsided child care which are big money savers.\nAddiction and homelessness are issues in most countries.\n\nI am curious as to which countries you are considering moving to.

Evidently you are very unhappy. Just move! I am very curious as to where you will go. good luck.

I support your decision and hope all works out well for you. Keep us posted how al goes. I'am curious. Greetings from Belgium.

Canada then isn’t the appropriate country for a cheerful Muslim family to reside in for these essential reasons— aside from the extreme weather conditions. and the rocketing inflation. For more or less the same reasons, my niece who is a Canadian by nationality left Canada to return and live in Egypt— her motherland. I’m really curious to know where about will you be heading to! I sincerely wish you the peace you deserve, warmth, and a prosperous life. \n\np.s. ?Put Sharm El-Sheikh by the Red Sea in your travel plan!

Curious about where they are going and how they will feel about their lives once they get there.

Was this video shared somewhere, because these comments took a turn. I'm genuinely curious.

Why do your women wear make up and lip stick but cover their hair? Just curious.

Just curious where will you move too , thanks guy for a nice video

Curious to see where guys end up settling! ?

Salam and thank you for the update. I am curious to know which country your planning on emigrating to?

In these trying times, one question is on my mind. \nWhat would homelander do?\nAnd is anyone else curious why these mass migrations spike when its election year coming up?

There are at least 18 Islamic countries. I have always been curious as to why Muslims choose Christian western nations.

Im curious to know where people are moving to

Just curious, how your parents / families feel about this?

Very curious to see how this will go. Libanon and Turkey is alright. Once you are gone for longer you will miss the privileged society you left behind.

As an indian who suddenly grew curious about Canadian politics and society in recent times (thanks to JT and his credible allegations), it seems like canada is fast turning into a socialist/communist economy like Russia but without the strong control of the centre. Without a strong centre or a central figure handling things at the top in such an economy, Canadian policies regarding immigration, internal security, trade and economy etc are all in doldrums. Add to that, canada is harboring serious anti social elements within it's border who will strike back at canada itself if the things remains out of control. Being a homogenous society, I don't except canada to follow the fate of USSR, but definitely it is on the way to become the first world Syria.

Who did you guys vote for the few last elections? I'm curious.

Convert from The Netherlands here, and I have really struggled with this, mostly as 'muslims majority/arab countries' seem to have westernised very much and I fear that migrating there would lead fo a false senss of (islamic) security. \n\nSo I am very curious to see which countries you both are considering.\n\nMay Allah SWT grant you ease and goodness.

I'm rlc curious if the life in pakistan will be better for the kids. In terms of education and islam aswell bec of terrorist attacks in pakistan, etc.. just bec its a muslim country doesnt mean the muslims there are good bt i rly hope it will turn out good

Assalamu Alaikum WRWB, May Allah SWT bless you and your family with Risq and Barakah in all good ways. I am curious to know what country.

Qatar is in our minds. \nIslam, livable prices, good schools, modern technology with keeping with tradition.. \nit’s getting harder to live in the US when like you said your government isn’t choosing to be humane over power and money. It’s sad. This was my home my whole life and I love so much about it but different season in life. Alhemdulilah and may Allah guide us. Much luck to you guys and I’m curious where you go:)

Hello Saleh family, I have been following you for over two years now; I am not american or canadian but a physician and mother of two from a third world country in the Caribbean. I started following you because I was curious about the muslim faith and your way of life. I started following different muslim people (and jewish, vegan, homeless and more... basically anybody different than me) and after some time I saw that we were all humans in search of the same things in life. I completely agree with your decision of moving but was very disappointed in your comments towards the drag community. A person in drag reading a children's book is not indoctrination. A person in drag reading to kids is only teaching them acceptance and tolerance (exactly what you want the world to give to your girls who most likely wear a Hijab). A person in drag is an artist who finds joy and self worth in certain clothes, hairstyles and makeup... it is a person a human person with the same value as everyone else. It has nothing to do with sexuallity or sexual orientation... if we truly want freedom for Palestine, if we truly want to change the narrative and to prevent 75+ years of brutal occupation and racism ever happening again; we have to change the way we see our differences... is not enough to ignore and respect people who are different: we have to accept them and recognize their humanity and their worth; to value and foster acceptance and integration in the younger generations... that is the only way forward, that is the only way we will all secure a better future for our kids. Good luck in your search, I hope you find what you are looking for ❤

Inwas curious as to where ur thinking about moving to .? What would be your top 3 choices and how would I go about leaving as well lol xox

Is it really possible to just move to any country you want? I imagine most of them have stringent regulations regarding immigration--unless you are wealthy, of course. Anyway, just curious..... Good luck with your move!

Just wondering what things in schools that are being taught without parents knowledge that you're talking about ? I'm genuinely curious.

The arabes world didnt do shi....curious?

im curious why middle eastern fled to US and EU?

As an American, I'm just curious about how much government red tape a developer has to go through to get building permits in Canada. any clue?

Please tell me about the magical country that is better than Canada...just curious...anyone, please?

I see a lot of comments from Canadians saying Canada sucks and they want to move elsewhere. I'm curious to know where else you guys have lived and how it is better compared to Canada. I'm not a native Canadian. Thanks.

What is the cost of living like in Europe compared to Canada. I would be curious to see that comparison. Also what about inflation, health care, crime rate, etc… \nThis also talks about Toronto a lot, one of the most expensive place in the country to live in. Housing there is unaffordable for many of us. All other places aside from Vancouver are more affordable.

Would be curious as to the whole conversation. Did he say anything positive about Canada or was this bit cherry picked?

Just curious, as a Canadian citizen do you still pay taxes there while living abroad and doing remote jobs, like YouTube or any other careers?

Curious of how if the quality is so high the US life expectancy is so much lower than Canada even with all of Canadas faults?

I'm curious Alina, did you vote Liberal? \n Do you know what has caused this mess? \n If you don't, I recommend you start to learn. There are reasons that TO has become the hellscape it is today.

Wow ?.. well explained. I was reallly curious about Khalistan and punjab . Thank you ?

Thnx Lyn u really open my eyes I was curious to travel abroad for work but after watching your video I can see how hard other fellow Africans are going through its really bad

????? ok but im genuinely curious where the alternatives are. \nI live in Vancouver and can't see any other city in canada as an upgrade. US has alot of political and safety issues and housing is becoming just as bad. Australia's housing sucks. UK is having a housing and economic meltdown. Southern Europe has had a terrible economy for a while. That just leaves parts of South america/ asia and northern Europe. \nAnd south america or asia are only good with remote work. Im in Healthcare and cant work remotely. \nSeems like everywhere I look there is a problem. I might just van life it tbh

I'm curious what you think the better options are?\n\nI was born and raised in Canada, and I sort of feel trapped. I'm not sure what to do or where to go.

the Canadians are so adamant on protecting their citizens which i respect, however, are you not concerned that terrorists are able to live in your country so easily? i’m genuinely curious because i don’t get how you aren’t concerned.
