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

So sad to see, can remember Canada was the place most wants to emigrate to, democracy has failed spectacularly and there is nothing the normal folks can do about it, the ones with capitol now controls the political parties and MEDIA. The citizens only get pre selected candidates to vote for and they don't have your interest at heart.

Canadians use to be able to move from job to job and City to City with relative ease. Now?! Myself and a lot of people I know have locked ourselves down to 1 location afraid to make any career moves to avoid the financial stress, especially going from a smaller town to a big City. Long gone are the days of renting a uhaul and moving on for better. Where is it better in Canada at the moment?

Sounds Like she's going to Costa Rica or Thailand.\n\nThat's where most of them are going to that has some perks in lifestyle which they feel Canada has lost

Is it possible the world in general has become a less enjoyable place to live in? Climatic changes, the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer, governments not able to cope because they just don’t have the resources anymore, right wing movements popping up everywhere, democracy being challenged … the list goes on and on. But you know what? I would still pick Canada over most countries in the world. Just saying. Nevertheless Alina … goog luck to you in your endeavours and choosing a new country. Hope it all works out for you.❤

Anyone coming to Canada now has to know they're coming to run a hotel. Doesn't matter what your education or passion is, you WILL be running a hotel. It's the only way to deal with not only extreme property overvaluation, but also the absolutely massive property taxes that are now HIGHER than RENT was in the 90s. It's sad that after 40 years here I'll never earn enough to keep up with these extreme tax hikes and will be moving in a couple years because I do NOT want to run a hotel and I do NOT want to live in a tent or a van. Between property tax and $800 an hour dentists this place has become unlivable.

Try London England, you’ll find it’s 3-4 times more expensive than Toronto. Or try living in Congo or Palestine, it’s a lot safer than Canada. \n\nSeeing fellow Canadians complain like babies when we have it so good compared to other places makes me EMBARRASSED. Life in Canada isn’t that bad! The cost of food is the same as England £4.50 for strawberries ($8.00), £3.00 ($6) for milk, and £5.50 ($9) for cheese but gas £2.90/L ($4.10/Litr) way more costly in England. It seems like it’s mostly Canadians who ONLY know Canada and immigrants who expected life to be magically easy and handed to them… ? ?‍♂️ I had to learn to be grateful living outside of Canada, the whole world is facing inflation right now! Europe and North America. But Canada isn’t as bad as many places. But then again, I’m not a quitter. The best way to survive is getting a good education and a stable and high in demand career. Nurse, doctor, teacher, lawyer, dentist, psychiatrist, etc etc. Then you will find you might complain a bit less ?

I'm in LatAm and I can say that the difference in quality of life compared to Canada is getting smaller and smaller very fast. Not because it's getting better here. It's Canada getting worse. Anyway, life here is way cheaper, simpler and more fun. And pretty safe if you are not in big cities.\nGood luck, Alina. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

Trudeau made Canada below standard,complicated citizens lives.Trudeau,his family completely bogus.Nt leave, Canadians should follow Bangladeshi citizens foot step & made remove from power chair & jail him soon

At this point, Canada and anybody, including the drivers who bring those illegals over here, are America's enemy.

You enriched Canada with your presence and you will be missed. Good luck in whatever decision you make for the future.

Trudeau + Singh have ruined Canada ??

Just step over the border into Montana and you're all set. It's a short distance from family and its vaaastly better than Canada (I'm originally from SK).

Hi Alina, well done on your decision. This is not an easy thing to do. As well as Canada, i have lived in the uk and Greece. I don't want to make things harder for you but i want to warn you that the grass is never greener on the other side. I am very disappointed with Canada to be honest. My wife and i are moving from Alberta to New Brunswick next week in search of a quieter, calmer, cheaper life. Let's see what happens. I completely agree with all of your points. I could easily get political but i won't. Suffice to say, keep doing what you love. Screw the system that is forced on us. We work for no return. Work doesn't pay anymore. Focus on what fills you up no matter where!

There is no other country in the world is better than CANADA ..sorry you feel this way

Because cultures that are incompatible with the traditional culture for the last century or so are coming in numbers that will eventually swamp that traditional culture. Once that happens, western cultures like Canada turn into the same poverty stricken dictatorship disaster just like the countries they came from. Which is the goal of WEF criminal terrorist organizations.

Hi Anna. Sorry to hear that.? Canada is like a home to you. Hope you’re doing ok. Sending hugs and love to you.❤️?

No support student specialy indian people go back home pls.....canada is full already

Same problem like in Canada, high inflation, housing shortage due to mass immigration, high taxes, bad school system and healthcare.

This world is doomed. Canada is becoming the land of no Canadian and it is happening across the world.

I came to this country with a very selective immigration program and I chose Canada because of this. And my surprise is that now they come only by paying for their studies and these people do not have the financial capacity to support themselves and they are a tragedy for their families and themselves. And they are given jobs that belong to Canadians and health care is paid for by our taxes.

I haven't been to Canada, so I wonder why there is a housing problem in such a huge country.

We are facing similar issues here in NZ. Our current prime minister is pushing those who are on Welfare to seek and find work, but here in our country, is where are the jobs to get people into work?? There are businesses at present and we are in a Recession, but businesses are closing because there isn't people to fill those positions?? Just wondering if Canada are facing these issues too???\n\nMatt

Canada is racist this entire time of course

Because immigration numbers have been extremely high in Canada, US, UK, EU/EEA.

It's the Gov't, the weak, non-enforcing Gov't of Canada. I reflect back to highschool, we had teachers we knew we could push..... goof off and talk back to and then there were teachers, everyone knew, don't mess with, that had a zero tolerance policy. Our country is obviously the 1st example, you'll never see this happen in China, anyone/everyone that goes there knows, don't try and play the system, don't push or they will push back....AS IT SHOULD BE.

Canada needs to massively deport

There are so many Khalistani, Living in Canada with support of Trudo?? If you Dig a pit for somebody else..later or sooner You will fall in ?????????????????????

Legal Immigration is Canada's business.

In Canada we bring in rich people who just make it harder for everyone else..

Canada will appear on the list of Third World countries very soon.

Because they don't want Canada to become like the U.S. and Great Britain. Multiculturalism breeds social problems.

Sir is ielts academic ukvi accepted in Canada?

I wished to move to Canada 12 years ago. I am American. I was told that I needed a job and that job NEEDED to be filled. This would allow me to move there. I didn't move. Now with the migration crisis, too many immigrants at one time will overload the system and overpopulate a country. I fear with the climate crisis constantly reshaping our futures, that immigration will be an ongoing problem for the entire world. I believe countries must plan for even more immigration waves due to climate change. The Earth is changing...people will be moving to save their lives, to have a future. As human beings we must adapt to these pressures and changes in our planet. Make it livable, or else face the consequences of seeing millions of people die because you were unwilling to open your borders. There is room, just get rid of the greed. This planet , its peoples,must find ways to live together. Education, to keep the planet healthy, stop overpopulation, keep the air and water clean...stop the greed are the goals we must strive to follow.

I think people are missing the big picture. Canada does not want private citizens to be property owners,and especially not landlords who are earning income from property ownership. The struggle around landlord rights is specifically targeted to discourage property investment. As Canada does so well, the punishment is the process. This will not change regardless of how many 5min news bites are published.

Canada is set to take 1 million immigrants per year and has only a total of 40 million citizens with a housing crisis. Canada’s population surpassed 41 million in April, just 10 months after it hit 40 million in June 2023. Nothing of it is due to birthrates, it's only immigration that makes the country grow. There's real issues coming with this much immigration ( housing market, stagnant wages, assimiliation of newcomers).

canada was 80% white in 1980, so no, its not always who theyve been

Canada is broken ??

Immigration is a big problem in Canada. They all come here to live like kings with the help of government funding, incentives and subsidy’s. While Canadian citizens are suffering. Imagine how we would be treated going over to the western country’s.

This should not be right because why are we not OK? I understand different parts of the world has things I’m born Canadian as far as my family and millennia and Canada were third generation here in Canada with Caribbean European and American descent all that being said I don’t care how people comes to Canada ?? but we should get the best of the best and I feel like Since they have a job since I work with the airline, why can’t they just apply for a transfer? Why can’t they why everybody else has to have a passport to travel? Why can’t they? Why can’t they have a passport? Why should they be or have a passport stuff like that I’m just saying, why would they abandon your job and you can transfer your job or get you know I don’t know I’m just to me. I don’t think it’s right I don’t think it’s right because, is there enough job for people who already live here housing stuff all these kind of things people do not think about

I come to Canada every year from EU and stay for a few months. Every year it's getting worse. You are becoming third world country.

Immigration is crazy in canada i live in a small town where east indians have taken over most businesses and only hire their own family leaving almost no jobs. Cant even afford to go through school for a better job cause I cant aford anything. Fuck you Justin.

He’s not a first victim. Tenants are exploiting, F**** Up the law because in Canada there’s no such law. Govt. of Ontario (Conservative), Govt of Canada (Liberals and NDP) all by purpose shut their eyes therefore local investors are running away from Canada, and foreign investors is not even looking to Canada. There’s no protection for homeowners and investors in Canada.

I would like to remind people in my opinion. It's not immigrants fault its fault of government for telling them they can get work and support. Apparently, 40 percent are trying to get back home and leave canada because they cant get jobs either.

Not just Canada. A lot of European countries just want to be left alone in their home country.

Influx of Indians ruined Canada.

Earning in dollars in Canada means you also spending in dollars ??.

Canada is a cold country, not enough housing, too many immigrants, hence encampments, enjoy.

Mexicans need visa to travel to Canada since February 2024...

They allow immigrants....immigrants work hard like in two shifts, they just work and sleep for a decade and then dump people say immigrants are problem.... you vote for govt. Which make policies...and why can't these countries accommodate more people if india and China can accommodate 1.5 billion people....in india on Himalayan region only has more population than Canada...
