I am moving to Canada and will make 100k! it makes me happy!

This country Canada is sad pure sad

Canada is a country wanting to pay cheap immigrants with cheap job salaries.

I want to move to Canada ❤

If I had to listen to the noise from a mosque every day I'd leave Canada. That's not the Canadian culture. Immigrants need to fit in and embrace the Canadian culture and laws. If they are willing to do that they will be integrated with open arms. If they expect Canada change to the culture they came from that's not going to happen. Don't let the door hit your a$$ on the way out.

Im Brazilian, I was about to imigrate to Canada, and I'm againts imigration too.\n\nNow I'm going to Spain because I have double citzenship

I will move our of canada when canadian companies move out of my Country.

Canada is on its way to become CANDADISTAN

Wherever you go, there you are, I have family in Bolivia. I have family in Vietnam I have family in canada.I do not look at any single place as a singular home anymore. To fit the cliche, I am of retirement age but not retired. I work wherever I go and whatever way I can. Yeah, and my son in Vietnam has things going On he teaches and he works and he studies. So these comments about Canada are nice to hear and the negativity about politics and people's Denial of climate CHANGE. (One comment in particular,) I find hard to stomach. You know it depends on what side of the coin you are looking at, it is your choice.

Canada is really still not that bad of a place to live. I am 38 years old suffer with epilepsy own my own house, I am married. My job is Medicore paying and very hard work. Me and my wife have plenty of disposable income at the end of the month to do what we want with or save it. A lot of people need to learn how to budget money. Stay away from credit cards, personal loans , expensive cars basically useless shit. Yes canada is expensive but there ways around it. Example stop living in expensive cities. Find skill sets around your job if you want extra money trust me there many of them. I make more money just on my hobbies then I do working, guess what tax free. Health care not the best but it is still really not that bad yet. Point being if I can handle Canada you can to trust me I am nobody special. I just live within my means and have hustles on the side with just high school education.

The things that bother you about Canada will follow where you go. That being said, it's still worthwhile to try your luck abroad. The 8 years I spent in Russia were wonderful and life changing. I still can't escape America and our bullshit. Somehow I have to be a part of the solution. Ugh

Alina, if you were born in Sovet Uninion (dismantled in 1991), you are at least 33 years old at the moment. You said that you begun travelling 15 years ago, so you were at least 18. With that, I can guess that you likely haven't got a college degree in a profession in demand. If you've got a proper education at McGill or UoT, your income would be in sx digits. You would likely have bought a house somewhere (not in Toronto or Van, let's say in Montreal) before covid, paying 2% interest rate, got married and have kids and a husband making six digits. So, you would be totally fine in Canada even considering increased living costs. Juat my 2 cents

canada has been sold to realestate investors and their wheel greasers (the banks). all investments are going toward realestate investements and hardly anything toward technology. canadians need to look outside the box and create a new political party that is on the side of citizens and not investors. with current political system the impovrishment of canadian socitey will stay intact

Canada is falling hard nation of the west, are you planning to move back to either Russia or Ukraine? Or China or the UK?

I know how you feel,Canada has gone way downhill

Why? because Canada, like every white country, is being invaded

grew up in SYDNEY \nwent to a smaller town in AUSTRALIA \n\neverything revolves around the regional large HOSPITAL\nFARMING is becoming industrial \n\ntraveled to CANADA hand full of times from early 2000's to pre covid\nVANCOUVER TO GOLDEN KICKING HORSE\n\nlook if you have the money buying a holiday home in remote \nGOLDEN OR REVELSTOKE - YES\n\nbut food was fucking expensive 10 years ago\nand I seen CANADA go down hill with drugs pot and seeing pot around just light use\nearly 2000's did a SKI SCHOOL stint and was a great time fun times but MELBOURNE AND SYDNEY where next level \nthen on revisiting WHISTLER notice NOT POT but ICE ADDICTION the manufactured stuff \nand many LOCALS LEAVING WHISTLER FOR SWITZERLAND \n\nCANADA is beautiful but there is a sad underbelly

I like how well balanced and reasoned your video was. Canada certainly isn't the same country it was barely 10 years ago - many, many, many people are saying this. Like yourself, I too am planning on leaving, and like you, am awaiting processing of paperwork by a foreign bureaucracy. All the best to you. I look forward to hearing where you will be moving to, and based on your vids that I have seen, I suspect that you will make a success of things wherever you end up.

if daughter of Canada is not happy in Canada \nthat means this country has lost it's charm

The Lauren Southern delusion. It's not sad that you're leaving Canada. It's sad that you came here at a good time, at a young age, and didn't take advantage of all the of the opportunities here. There are plenty of women your age that are doing well in this country, but these women went to university, got a decent job right after, worked hard, saved their money, didn't spend it traveling the world, got married, bought a home, have one or two kids, etc, and are doing fine. Putting any blame on the government for your own situation, at the age of 33, is ridiculous.

I also am looking to leave Canada. No opportunity remains in my home.

you were lucky you grew up at a time of big spending and easy living. Well time to pay the piper. leave it you want but I doubt you will find your utopia. we have been spoiled the last 50 years in Canada, all living with debt...good luck

This is what happens when we don't have unhampered market system (Capitalism). We need to free the country from the government. The immigrants will thrive, the existing citizens will thrive. Canada will thrive.

I’m sorry to hear you will be leaving Canada Alina ? But I fully understand as cost of living is quite expensive here in Canada and I believe it is only going to continue to get worse. I wish you all zzzbest in your future endeavours. I am excited for you on your future adventures.

Canada's GDP per capita has been decreasing for quite a while now. The only thing keeping Canada's GDP up is the very high immigration. Without it, Canada would be in a recession right now. This is why, even though the stock market might show growth, most Canadians (and Americans) don't feel it -- because the economy isn't doing great for most people in reality. At least there is some solace in the fact that, once the recession really hits, there is bound to be a recovery.

Cant believe this is happening in Canada but its the ones in power are doing this over the west making this happen for a reason to get us fighting each other so they can control us for the bigger plan of the 1984 film,everybody watch out !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best of luck to you, Alina. I hope you'll have a better life outside Canada.

I grew up in Canada..Calgary to be more specific. I have now been away for 10 years, living in Chile. I go visit every couple of years and I understand completely, id have a hard time moving back. Maybe for people who have arrived in the last few years it seems fine, but for the rest of us that remeber how it was 15, 20 or 30 years ago..its a shocking change. The big cities are full of drugs and homeless, which increases crime. Its expensive and good jobs are hard to come by. It seems to me 2015 was the turning point and only these last 2 or 3 years are Canadians realizing the mess that has been created.

If you or anyone inn the same situation have enough (A lot) of money, of course it's the smart choice to move abroad. You are still super young. But someone close to retirement and after living in Canada for a long time, Its not that smart. Canadian goverment wont pay you full pension if yu don't live for a minimum amount of time a year inside Canada. So giving away your money to the Canadian gov is not something that a lot of people are willing to do. Not after living years here and paying huge tax. But again you are lucky that you are young.

Nobody asked the citizens if they want an open borders policy. Radical mosques will turn Canada into something else.

I worked for a Canadian company for 25 years living in the USA, California / Silicon Valley specifically and spent days in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver - great place but probably has been run-down by wrong Government policies just like the USA - first blame is always on immigrants even though majority of them (especially in the USA) do jobs that Americans or Canadians do not want to do - farm work, construction work and services while 50% do get proper education and find good jobs and build up the community\nPolitics in the USA and Canada has gone so bad in recent years almost everyone is thinking of moving back to native country or find other affordable places - easier decision at the age of 33 but not 66\nWherever you go, I am guessing it will be around Bali, good luck and may you have all the success you strive for and deserve!

Canada and the most of the western world are pushing socialism very hard not realizing that capitalism is what made those countries great and attractive to immigrants. Now even immigrants are leaving. Leftist ideology does not work once again.

Immigrants want to move here because it is very easy to get PR and then passport otherwise Immigrants would move to Australia or US. Most of the Immigrants who come here are for East Asia and Africa and they can't stand cold but they don't have options to go and settle in US and Australia. So Canada is banana Republic under liberal and they come and get the citizenship and then go and work in US and the ones who are villagers and not professional stay here because they can't move. Canada passport is not third world passport and eventhough I moved from third world country don't like to stay here and looking my options.

These issues are prevalent in the EU, US and Canada. All these countries are experiencing inflation, homelessness and related problems with health care access. If you think Poilievre can wave a magic wand and solve lack of affordable housing and inflation you are not very bright.

Good Canada is a shithole!

Stop taking people to move in to Canada. Pass a law. Plain and simple. It not that hard to pass a law.

Hi Alina, Canada will always welcome you back as your safety net. But until then, good luck wherever your adventure lead you.\n\nI would also mention that some countries allow dual citizenship while many don't. Canada is one that allows dual.

I moved from the UK to Canada 28 years ago. It was great for 26 years to Mr. Trudeau ruined Canada. I could see it go downhill exactly the same as Britain so I’ve got out apply your government letting too many people in everything is so expensive Now I’m living the dream in Thailand and by the way, Canada is still texting me taxes on taxes

yes go to Canada stay out the USA

The Canadian dollar needs to increase its value and be recognized outside its borders. It can only be used in Canada. No other country will accept it

Wish I could fly 747, I will leave Canada and take that Plane to Pakistan.

luring again in benifits to immigrants same as Canada ...but OFW facing too much taxes !...

Canada thinks they have an “immigrant” problem; but America is worse: we have an “illegal immigrant” problem - especially when the government agencies do not enforce the existing laws against illegal aliens, but go out of their way to aid with taxpayer dollars! A slap in the face of American citizens!

Canada does not have a functioning government and hasn't for decades. That's where it needs to start.

Not to mention Canada makes it so difficult to leave, with heavy penalties…

Canada the new india sadly..

I’m an American who spends time in Canada doing cyber engineering work in Alberta.. I’d estimate Edmonton is 70% Indian immigrants. \n90% in the engineering fields.

When my parents came to canada 25yrs ago from Korea, they had to bring in millions of dollars and create at least two full time jobs. The whole process took a bit over 3 yrs. I don’t get how new comers are so easily accepted.

The programme presenter says his home country is Canada, well mate your home country is somewhere in Europe. It's definitely not Canada
