Nothing surprising! The smart ones do not want citizenship in a hell hole. They prefer to leave Canada! Let the desperate illegal migrants from the southern border (U.S./Mexico) fill up Canada!

Whatever.Go and leave. Me? I will move to Canada?

Good leave, Canada needs to focus on its citizens. Not mostly immigrants.

Canada is now full of non Canadian citizens of convenience- chinese, indians, arabs, africans, latinos - all there for the benefits. Last visit to toronto and Vancouver saw and heard only non canadians. Glad to hear they're all leaving. Population replacement is never a good thing. For the next 60 years evety stays in their home country and improves it. Will be a more pleasant world.

I love Canada I don’t know what everybody is bitching about. Leave il help you pack?

We pay 40 to 45% in taxes aside from property tax, expensive housing, utiities and food. the current government ruling is the main reason people wanting to leave Canada. you can not blame them just when they think they have seen it all the government adds new taxes(Carbon) we pay all these taxes but we get our garbage picked up once a week!? when a thief steals from you here the police tells you report it yourself online!? there is many problems here but the government pushes to teach little kids sexual contents!? I guess dividing people is the key to rule without challenges.

I'm planning to leave Canada to reside in the States. Canada has gotten way too expensive for me.

As a natural born Canadian, it's turned into a corrupted shit show, and I too plan to leave. Not only is Trudeau and liberals corrupt, but the cost of living and stagnant wages is rediculous. This government has opened excessive immigration since 2016, and its hurt this country. Do not move to Canada.

immigrants are leaving Canada? last year we have The number of international students with active study permits in Canada rose to 1,028,850 in 2023,500,000 immigrants plus 300,000 illigal immigrants , there is too many people coming in every year

WHY ARE UKRAINIANS NOT LEAVING CANADA?

DISCRIMINATION IS NORMAL,ONCE YOU LEAVE THEY WILL BE MORE RACIST. IF YOU STAY THEY BECOME LESS RACIST. COME TO CANADA.

SEE MY COMMENT: DO NOT LEAVE CANADA,I AM A MIGRANT IN CANADA,EVERYTHING IS GOOD IN CANADA,LOL. DO NOT LEAVE,STAY.

I hope Punjabis leave Canada and go back to Punjab to make the great nation they are dreaming of. I wonder why they still live in Canada if they want Khalistan.

I am a Mexican living in Mexico, I have visited Canada on several occasions and I think it is an excellent place to live. The part I don't understand about this report is: if people are leaving Canada, why is the cost of housing still high? In my opinion, the people who are now leaving Canada realized too late that they cannot afford the standard of living in a country like Canada. The same would have happened if they had emigrated to England, France, the United States or Germany. The phenomenon has more to do with the value of work than with Canada. In the last two decades the value of unskilled work has plummeted, no one can live in a moderately developed country with an unskilled job, to make matters worse, now white collar jobs have also begun to disappear. Society is simply transformed again and the effects of this transformation begin to be noticed first in those countries where life is more expensive.

please those who feel that canada is not fulfilling what you expected please and please pack up your bags and leave free exit if you feel were you came from is better go back please.

Is there a perfect country on this earth? Capital NO. You cannot leave your country and demand perfection in another country. Stay in your country and demand perfection from your government. You are not forced to go to Canada.

Nobody is leaving Canada. Their is enough poverty in India. Go to Canadian embassy, you will see the people lining up.

I think its time there local student s pay as international.students..and when it does that..the rest of the citizens in canada would leave. ..

I am one of the victims who fell for it got a study permit spent $55000 to go there and got only a certificate and was asked to leave the country after an agency scammed me and messed up my paperwork plus I was living off credit cards for my last few months. Stay away from Canada too many of us have suffered it was a horrible experience the country is in-liveable even with my office job

Every one before getting passport every thing ok but after getting Canadian passport they have so many reasons to leave canada this is human nature

You must also tell to which those people went after leaving Canada. To India or some other developed country. I am sure that those folks must not have landed in India. Canadian immigrants are far far far far far better then Indians living in India.

it's even harder since 2 years ... even montreal is becoming very expensive - Finding a job is very difficult and I am a french national ! and have 25 years expérience in IT in financial mkts , worked in Paris and London - It is time to tell everyone , Canada is not worth it anymore. Canada has been luring people because they get lots of money from the immigration process ... they dont care about you staying or leaving

5:25 this is absolutely true, and I say this as someone born and raised in Canada. It is even worse than you say, and it affects Canadians too. Many organizations have a culture of meek compliance to rules, which may not make sense. Most Canadians try to avoid standing out, and standing out is likely to be seen by your boss and peers as threatening. No one wants to rock the boat.\n\nThese rules and expectations may differ substantially according to the politics and beliefs of the employer. For instance, overtime may be highly encouraged in one place and discouraged in another. But the veneer of handling things in a highly compliant and pleasant way is always there, with a hidden expectation that you will speak positively about the biases of your boss or owner. In other words, the common factor is that bosses often have fragile egos or are afraid of anything that challenges the status quo. This harms critical thinkers and innovators who often leave to the US or China, but also immigrants who have even larger barriers to working within the status quo. \n\nEven among better bosses I have had, I notice this tendency towards intense discomfort with ideas that come from outside of their direct experience. Though at least with my current boss and one other I had in the past, there is an intellectual curiosity and empathy which helps them gradually open up to unfamiliar things (and they're just awesome people in general). But I still notice this bias sometimes. It's definitely cultural.

Canada was a great country. Now it is approaching shithole country and people are leaving, including recent immigrants. Get rid of the super woke cheer leader Trudeau and get somebody who doesn’t want to be loved by anybody who might be a bit different and actually want to take on the big issues!

Really, they are leaving Canada? I still see them everywhere I go, in droves. When will they Leave!!!

The Canadian dream is now to leave Canada. Congratulations.\n\nAs someone who works in Finance, this is a logical decision to make... specially if you are rich.

Yes please go back to indian paradise and stay there. For every one who leaves 4 come to Canada. God bless Canada, my beautiful home.

We also look to leave. With education and experience of 10 years in Canada, still cannot get jobs in my fields. Health care is terrible, food is super expensive, one salary covers rent, the other expenses. No future without saving.

You have to see what happened around the world,without going too far , the USA have a big problem with homelessness, 100 times more than Canada , obviously Canada is only 10% of the American population, our system in the hospital are treated in accordance to the grade of injuries the more severe are look after before your broken arm, over someone hurt in a car accident , so the attention goes to the more serious issues, but still you get care regardless how long you been waiting , unlike the USA sent you home if you don’t have health insurance,credit card , or cash to look after your problem , they will direct you to the emergency were you can wait for hours behind dozens of people waiting to see a doctor, some people had died waiting to see a doctor, our system is not perfect but nobody will let you died because you have no insurance ,money , or credit card , \nWhy people are leaving the country , is because the cost of living has skyrocketing to the point of no return , if you can only work to pay your rent and eat poorly, but with no possibility to save for the future it’s a wasting time to stick around ,and the people coming to Canada will find our system is not perfect and the image of Canada is tannish , but only people with highly educated will find they pathway to a high standards of living if you can make over 90.000 dollars and 180.000 for working couples in high demand

Why does this happen is simple to explain. Newcomers to Canada won't leave their customs behind and many will try to fool the Canadian Government into free handouts ect...ect. Canada is not all about oneself as many Newcomers would like it to be. Most Canadians worked dam hard for years to achieve what we have today. We did not beg our Government for handouts or cry because money was sometimes short, no we did not....we worked harder and showed determination. Unlike many Newcomers to Canada.

They’re leaving because they have to, because they’re on student visas. And government of Canada change the rules for them. And they’re not applying for pr or citizenship because they can’t. Not because they don’t want to.

The headline is wrong. These people they interviewed are not permanent residents. Therefore they can’t apply for citizenships. They interviewed these Indians who were international students. Who come here misrepresenting themselves in their visa applications. Pretending to be students but come here to work and stay. Canadian government put stricter rules on them to crack down on bogus immigration consultancy and colleges that exploit these students. This news segment is not 100 percent clear. It is true there are pr or naturalized citizens of Canada that leave the country to move back to their home country or move to another country but not all are Indians.

Canada is so garbage now. I been here for a very long time and even I want to leave this garbage place

cheaper to live in the philippines then all canada with nasty prices !, rent will never go down , even if all the students lets say leave , nothing is going change that , no matter what government does any more , your going to see higher taxes , high inflation in food , and people living on the street ,, this what the government did , rich stay rich , middle class stays very poor , this your so called canada of the year !

I am an Arab Canadian and I am going to leave Canada this year back to the Middle East

Even Canadian leaving Canada man.. because of unemployment, deteriorating law and order..and everything is so expansive

Canada has become such a bad country that it's better to choose another country and leave ASAP. Canada is a scam!

Plan to leaving this country, 99% immigration from third world countries and not well educated peoples from Third world countries completely illiterate, fake marriage, fake Lmia , Fake student, Fake contract marriage, Justin Trudeau and His father both are son of b**** they almost destroyed Canada

Canada is now a much different place than in 1996 when I moved to this country which I called home since. Cost of leaving is really punishing for many and retiring here while maintaining a decent life style is almost impossible for regular people. I'm already planning my retirement in other places and I'm well on my way of achieving it. This is the unfortunate situation which many Canadians are currently facing. Gone are the proverbial good old days.

I will be leaving Canada this October. A country where its citizens cant afford home, food, or basic necessaties should not be called developed country anymore.

Ye they should leave. It's too crowded in Canada and infested with immigrants. Canada needs to breathe a bit and go through a cleansing it's too crazy right now! I'm glad they are leaving

Born and raised in Canada as expensive as it is in glad there's negatives get the immigrants outta here leave and don't come.back

No surprise there, \n\nCanada is NOT attractive to migrants anymore due to multiple reasons.\n\nSoon a 1 bedroom apartment will probably cost 5000$/month for rent in the Major Cities making it impossible to settle here for newcomers.\n\nThe healthcare system has serious problems due to a lack of Doctors and Nurses who left for better paying jobs in US or Europe.\n\nIf you need immediate Specialist care you will probably have to pay hundreds of dollars just to see someone in the Private sector because the Public Health System has huge waiting lists and is understaffed.\n\nYou won’t be able to get a Government Family Doctor because the remaining ones have thousands of patients already so they’re swamped.\n\nYou can wait even 10 years for a Family Doctor and still won’t get one.\n\nYou can’t be bumped up on waiting lists for Doctors or Specialists even if you are in a critical condition because you aren’t a Celebrity / Politician / Millionaire.\n\nOnly those with a lot of money, status, power get immediate medical attention in case of an emergency.\n\nMost of the traditional medical costs like and eye exam, treating an ingrown toe nail, Physiatrie treatment are NOT covered by the Provinces anymore so you will have to pay out of pocket hundreds of dollars again.\n\nSome Provinces are already copying the US healthcare system which is 100% Private and for profit so don’t be surprised if you you’re gonna have to pay even for an infusion.\n\nThe minimum wage is only 15$/hour in most provinces when in reality you need at least 40$/hour to survive the ridiculous cost of living.\n\nYour typical salary will go 45% to taxes and 45% to rent leaving almost nothing for food / bills / gas / insurance etc. \n\nYou will struggle to make ends meet and possibly starve a week or two every month just to say that you’re “Canadian” \n\nThat is the sad reality but Canada is in a deep hole right now.\n\nUK is in a similar situation too.

born here but my family comes from Jamaica. i plan on working my ass off and buying some land there and leaving Canada. ill have a small farm i dont care atleast ill be able to own a home and land.

Somehow people say they left Canada, or they planning to leave. But never say where to. Obviously, the grass is greener somewhere, but where exactly? I hear the same stories (expensive real estate, bad infrastructure, inadequate healthcare, rising crime, etc.) about almost any country.

Even the citizens are leaving Canada !!

As a former military officer in the RCN, Canada has become a dump. My native Iraq is a better place to live. And I will be leaving after 30 years in Canada. If you're a recent immigrant, save yourself the trouble and head back home. Believe me you will thank me 10 years down the road.

Cause the new Canadian dream is to leave Canada.

Canada is a vast country, but its population is based in a handful of metro regions. All the immigrants and students are coming to these highly populated areas where there is a lack of housing and jobs. Everything is a lot more expensive these days. No wonder many people are thinking about leaving this country.
