My Canadian immigrant application being denied years ago was a blessing in disguise. I now live in the USA, and I can't imagine my life if I was in Canada.

if you get fired in u.s you have basicly no protection in canada BY LAW you have to give severance and notice u.s has none of that severance is on employer

Toronto does not represent the best of Canada. Too big and not friendly. And if you are Jewish like myself, there is ongoing antisemitism coupled with an antisemitic mayor. Plus there have been attacks and a Jewish business which was firebombed. I would suggest anyone contemplating moving there, don't.

Trudeau had messed Canada in all aspects like economy, culture, social, safety, education, cleanliness etc…you name it..people don’t know that now corruption is part of Canada politicians daily job.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to take Canada back, and I am a child of immigrants.

In Canada, there used to be a difference between ‘immigrant’ & ‘refugee’. Trudeau and his government have made these two groups into one. My family immigrated from England in the 1950s. My father had to have a job waiting for him when we arrived. We had to go through health checks. My parents had to prove that we had a specific amount of money so that we would not be a drain on Canada. Trudeau has opened the border to anyone wanting to come no matter if they have anything to offer Canada.

You are blaming Canada on what you called “mass immigration”! Are you blaming Canada for bringing in lots of people from your country or you’re blaming her for bringing in lots of people who don’t resemble you?

Interesting ranking. As a Quebecer, Quebec has the highest taxes on all of Canada. You pay a lot of taxes off your income. Prince Edward Island is ranked after Quebec for heavy taxation. Food for thought, as of August 2024.

Blacks anywhere in USA or Canada are same it's not about race it's about culture

As a Canadian I enjoy your videos! Although when you said canada is a smaller better version of what the united states is trying to do, I thought that was somewhat funny as Canada is larger then the USA

You took CERB a Canadian tax payers money.... No country in the world had programs like CERB, CEBA and HASCAP like Canada had to support the Canadians... Canada is still the best country in the world to live.

That one dude is delusional. Yeah immigration bolsters the economy and is beneficial WHEN you have the infrastructure to support it. Canada, at the moment clearly does not, and they think that, instead of fixing infrastructure, this is somehow going to help?

canada isn't the place it used to be, a spoiled girl doesn't feel safe and comfy. What a drama. Move to US what else you Canadians can do. True hero......to much bla bla

canada is a sh1thole just like usa not a good place to live family life!

Enough disclaimer, we are half-way through the movie and you keep only telling us how great Canada is.

Compared to Vietnam, the average salary in USD is 400$/month, the average house price is 200,000USD. Being able to come to Canada is already luckier than many people.

It started when Canada govt wants all cheap labor truck driver, mechanics, carpenters, ets that they call trade field and gave PR to them, govt could have called them on temporary work visa can gave PR to only with cream part of people from all over as even pakisthani , bangladeshi, other south asian and other tropical people who look like Indias are normally blamed as bad people.

Thank you, Alina, for sharing your story. As a fellow Canadian citizen, I too am grateful for all that Canada has positively given me, despite all its struggles today. Whatever you feel is right for you, I wish you all the best. ❤️&☮️

We moved from Brampton 7 years ago we felt it was getting dangerous and over way over populated. We live in London now (which has its only big issues) But i feel Canada’s loosing our identity. \nI love culture but like some have said already this is just too much. \nMay your higher source bless you ?

Love Canada

I would never live in the states i wont visit there anymore either. The USA is for the rich. Not the average person. I dont like the fact your country is so politically screwed up. So divided and has turned into a 3 ring circus.\nI have kidney disease i would not be able to survive doing dialysis. In canada my disease is under control

Wow Alina, so many complaints about Canada that I don't know where to begin. Let me just say this. The grass is not always greener on the other lawn as it appears to be from afar. I do hope you can find your paradise but the wisdom of life (I'm 67) tells me that you'll likely be trading one set of problems of another equally annoying set. Good luck!

Nobody is mentioning this is a governmental problem, with the Invitation to LMIA workers and other new people and Illegals Canada has become this way since we voted the government to do this.

But for some Chinese who have been brainwashed by Western media, they think Canada and the United States are simply paradise. If possible, they would even like to exchange nationality with you.?

Canada is just as backward as the United States! Who knew?!

As a new immigrant to Canada, it was a dream of mine since childhood to come here. But after arriving here, I realized what a mirage this place is. I still love the country because its much better than where im from, but this is not the dream that was sold to me. This is not reality.

Thank you for making this video. I have heard these exact words from so many people lately you are not alone. The Canada we once knew and grew up in has changed significantly, not for the better I fear. Were I your age I would consider leaving but I am aging and picking up and leaving is a little more daunting than it may have been 30 years ago. Follow your heart and I look forward to your commentary and wish you luck and good fortune wherever you land. I follow your travels on Instagram and I admire your tenacity and sense of adventure.

Canada was 1000% better when it was over 90% white.\n3rd world Diversity Sucks !!!

I'm tired of people living rent free in Canada costing us an arm and a leg in taxes. We can't get rid of them either. I feel your pain

We left sweden for canada because if all rapes,shootings and gangs. Gangs decide when you are allowed to be outside, a guy got shot outside our door, another got shot very close and he was the wrong guy who just looked like someone else. One weekend we had 2 rape attemps on our Street and there was a gang shooting one station away from us at kids playgroynd when a kid got ahot by accident too. Its sick. \n\nOne year in canada we left because the schools were brainwashing our kids with nonsens gender stuff. Even our kids though it was super strange and did not feel good when teachers said you can be anything you want when you grow up (gender, not what you work with).

We would travel to Canada a couple times a year, we would see down ward trends, the last time in Toronto, to see the Monet show the city smelled bad. Not back since.

I am a small town Saskatchewan boy that married a Philippine lady and have 2 kids. In 2023 we decided to sell both are houses and moved to the Philippines with are kids still in elementary school and best decision we have ever made. Canada is not the same country i grew up in the 80s

Ive had ads to move to Canada. And im from Australia. They are solving the first word fertility decline through immigration. I wish they would support people born in the country having children. Im pregnant now and it seems like i missed the golden days when having kids cost less and ill always struggle. Hitting the milestones such as first house, education, and having children cost soooo much more now. So people aren't doing it. And immigrants are needed.

Hi Alina. Can I speak with you? I believe you shouldn’t leave Canada. I can suggest a few good business options for you.

Wrong information once again. They obtain visitors visa to be allowed to enter Canada. Anyone can apply for asylum but they need to proof their case to a judge.

We have immigrants coming to Canada from all over the world and there are a lot of students too, but there is something terribly wrong with people from India. When coming to a new country, you have to come to a point where you respect that country's law and your values too. You cannot impose your laws and values on them. Freedom is given here but don't abuse it. Lastly, live for a little bit under the sun and stop this race mentality.

I'm Canadian born and raised. My grandparents came from England after WW2 for a better life and sadly the Canada that they immigrated to is long dead. \n\nThe lack of opportunity and the insane policies of the federal government has severely decimated the quality of life in Canada. I wanted to start a family and own a home, nothing huge or extravagant, just something to call my own and all of that seemed impossibly out of reach to me. I had a somewhat well-paying job and lived within my means and I could not seem to get ahead. I didn't own a large or new vehicle, rarely ate out and would always try to buy used. Still, I could barely save or invest anything. \n\nNot wanting to live in a place that just wants me to be poor, lonely and unhealthy I pulled the trigger and left for Eastern Europe. I have no regrets and while it has been a difficult and stressful process, it has been well worth it.

Hmmm modern day slavery in Canada? Middle East is worst???

I've been in Canada for 13 years and loved the experience until I needed medical attention. Long story but its the worst thing that ever happened to me, it left me witn physical and emotional trauma, I just can't understand how is this a developped country. I barely used any public services until then and it was such a disappointment I don't know where the 50% of my salary is going to ?

To stop the inflow of immigrants to canada the canada govt should adopt the policy of skilled workers contractual only in which a skilled worker is hired for 1yr or 2yrs contract with free airfare n paid one month vacation free lodging and their families are not allowed to be with them that is what middle east countries are doing that is they are allowed to be recontracted same as in saudi arabia they have developed without the problem of immigration

The first Canadian family I met, were refugees from Canada to California in the 60s.

She talks for 10 mins telling us how wonderful Canada is. She then admits that in spite of all these advantages she wants to leave Canada and live in another country. Having captured our attention for more than 10 mins, we become curious to know where she would like to move to ! Unfortunately she doesn't tell us - as this may compromise her efforts to obtain a visa for this earthly paradise. We will have to wait for a future video !

Daniel Bernhard from the Institute for Canadian Citizenship totally blew off the infrastructure problem and therefore is a contributor to the hardship all Canadians including newcomers will be facing for many years. Saying we need immigration and ignoring the needs of all in Canada to have a job and a place to live is a big problem. HUGE.

Landed tenant law sucks in Canada

The left liberals alongwith their islamic allies are killing Canada

Exactly. Just because YOU have a good salary or job, if everyone around you is collapsing economically then there is ZERO point in staying in that country. I was a PR of Canada until 2017 when I let my PR card lapse and I let go of my PR status. No reason to move to Canada anymore. I have seen too much destruction from drugs and addiction in Canada. The society has rotted from within and the foundation of it has collapsed socially. Doing well for yourself does not help when everyone else around you is on a death spiral morally, spiritually, socially and economically.

I left Canada 3 days after graduating from Queen's. It was a s**t show then and it is even worse now. The top down socialist government lead by comrade Trudeau has destroyed EVERYTHING our ancestors built together.

Hungary is a great place to be. The United Staes and especially Canada is far too liberal. Serbia and Poland are good options as well. Leave the West

Canada is a totaled vehicle. Courtesy of Justin & Friends.\n\nWe need to Defederate this mess.

In the future other civilizations will look at Canada and America of today as a cautionary tale of what not to do.
