You moved here and we all want to move there. the weather is better less crime less homeless you do not have to worry about your kids on drugs. Way to go on your choice. we have tent cities growing across the country and less people can afford to even rent a basement suite every year. Our currency is in a full collapse most Canadians I know are buying gold and silver as fast as possible, you can barely get any groceries for $100 any more used to be 5-6 bags for $100 and now it is 1-2.

In two months you can not say anything because too less time sapped there Canada very good country clean and laws power good

GDP per capita in Singapore is 82K. In Canada it's 54K. Well, the fact that salaries will be lower in Canada is not surprising. Even in US GDP per capita is less than in Singapore.

I worked in Taiwan before. Even a minimum wage convenience store clerk can earn more than in Canada. I can buy more McDonald's hamburger, eating out 3 meals everyday, fewer days of salary to pay rent.(almost half)for example, Any minimum wage workers in Taiwan can rent a room by working less than 3 days, but in Canada a room is $600 which needs 6 days wage to pay the rent. And TTC bus and subway monthly fee is $155/. It needs 1.5 days' salary to buy it. Comparing to Taipei, it costs only less than 1 days' salary to buy the bus and subway monthly card.

Luk you people r staying in Canada which is very cold country and if u decide to go to any arab countries u have to face very haarash hot climate there plz choose that country which modrate climate so that it will take less efforts to get adjust into that place. Allthe very best for your new journey may Allah help you to find best place for your family which will b good for your health and wealth Ameen

I would personally avoid the USA or most of the Western world ,and choose a Muslim country ,as I feel the West is becoming less tolerant towards Muslims and their way of life.

For the sake of Canadian children, I hope less and less of you come here.

Interesting video! Here's my perspective:\n\nI'm from Quebec City, of Chinese descent, born and raised in Montreal, where I lived for 21 years. I've also lived in Vancouver for 3 years, Toronto for 5 years, returned to Montreal for another 3 years, and have now been in Quebec City for 15 years.\n\nAs a Quebec City resident and business owner, I find the city amazing. During the pandemic, there were many programs and subsidies available. I even wrote to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding the CEBA program for businesses, suggesting some changes to the eligibility criteria. They followed through, and Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau sent a detailed response, signed by him but likely written by his staff, explaining the revised criteria and suggesting other potential programs. Provincially, my MP's staff guided me through various programs. Ultimately, I received nearly everything I needed to survive and potentially thrive through the pandemic (to be confirmed in 2024).\n\nTaxes are high, but I feel safe in Quebec City. Crime rates are low, and I've experienced little racism, possibly due to my fluency in French. Starting a business here has been easy, with minimal costs and bureaucracy.\n\nAs a gay man, I've never felt endangered. I can comfortably express affection for my spouse in public without feeling judged.\n\nHealthcare, including access to medication and doctor consultations, is extremely affordable. Super Clinics offer next-day appointments at no cost.\n\nI own a commercial condo for my business, which cost significantly less than it would have in Toronto or Vancouver. My rent for a one-bedroom apartment is CAD 755, and electricity bills are remarkably low.\n\nWith the shift to online business, I've accessed international markets while benefiting from a low-cost, safe environment. I received a CAD 2400 subsidy from the Canada Digital Adoption Program, among other government-funded programs, to expand internationally.\n\nAlthough homelessness exists in Quebec City, many supportive programs are available, and most homeless individuals here are polite, likely because they face less stigma.\n\nI believe it's crucial to explore different locations when moving to Canada. Many smaller cities offer great opportunities, which works to my advantage.\n\nRegarding the judiciary system, it's not perfect but feels less biased compared to the Supreme Court of the United States, such as in cases like Roe v. Wade.\n\nMy advice to immigrants is to learn the local language fluently for effective communication. Utilize all available federal and provincial tools, like legal aid, and don't hesitate to contact your MP. In my experience, they've been very helpful.\n\nAll the best, Febby!

Maybe they should run a benefits Fraud patrol then there would be less moslems to be controlled by sharia ??

Canada is just like the US. The only difference is that racism is a little less in ur face. Moving from the US to Canada is like choosing the lesser of two evils.

there will be less refugees as long as israel open the blockade for humanitarian aid.

I'm so disappointed in you all. The irony is that I have a daughter who is constantly being targeted by young neighboring men here, kids whose folks came here as refugees from the Islamic world. They treat this modest, young woman --- and so many others--- like less than dogs. Muslim men in predominantly Muslim societies have no special mandate in treating women well. As we have been able to see in Gaza.

I am from Bosnia and while yes we had great opportunities here, we are really wanting to move back home, its so nice to hear ezan, eat halal, eat healthy food , less stress, more walking, but it is hard to make the decision to leave family here.

Good. Less problems

I have realized that the golden years are the retirement years. Make some money and move to a less expensive place to enjoy your golden years. Till then earn well, save what you can and limit your desires.

Still less dangerous than an unarmed Black Person as far as the police are concerned... ?

Less than 2 seconds and I already got irritated by her voice. I have heard normal everyday americans speaking. This was not normal speech. In fact, it was condescending. You hear it enough and you can pick it up straight away when someone starts talking and you hear that tone.

A, s, A I was living UK all my life but I decided to move out of UK I did it I have children because of the environment as you guys mentioned I moved to Nairobi although it not my country I hear atan everywhere I am living life I consider myself and my children happy less stress food are cheap

Salam! Does anyone have any suggestions as to whether or not to invest in the Canadian market for someone who is contemplating leaving Canada in the medium term? I don't know if it is worth investing money in stocks via Canadian institutions if that money might be withdrawn in less than 10 years from now as I move to another country.

That's called being concise, logical and to the point with your words. Nothing more and nothing less, truth and facts flow out of you easier than lies and deceit. ?????

I'm interested in your business plans. Dealing with the paperwork and setting up in a different country seems challenging. Also, considering the potential price differences and increased competition in less affluent markets, how do you plan to navigate these challenges?

I move from one country to another every five years because of the nature of my job. As a practising Muslim with children here are some of the countries I’ve lived in which you guys should consider :\n- Turkey is very developed and your family will have to make less adjustments in terms of quality of life. If you can speak Turkish then you are good to go.\n-Morocco has a very rich culture and the economy is relatively stable.\n- Malaysia is beautiful and has great community sense. Very helpful people. The main adjustment will be with the eastern culture which is very conservative. The cuisine is also very unique.\n- Qatar and UAE are both similar in the sense that finding jobs won’t be a problem and lots of people understand and speak english. Also these two countries are developed and the \n education standards are the highest I have seen in countries following sharia. Also these countries are less strict than Saudi Arabia which is my native country. I really hope you two \n aren’t considering it. Your girls will not grow up happy in Saudi. Trust a women who has done it. I love my religion but inshallah no child should go through that environment because her \n parents were attracted to the holy land.\n-Lastly this is a rather outlier in this list but you should consider India. There are mosques everywhere in almost every city and even the Hindus fondly wake up to the azaan. Most \ninclusive non-Muslim country I have lived in. My children loved it. We lived in one of the many Muslim communities near a mosque in a city called Hyderabad which was ruled by a Muslims for hundreds of years. Even though they have their own languages nearly everyone speaks english. The schools are great. The police create spaces for Muslims to worship on the roads so that traffic doesn’t disturb them. Very inclusive and the city itself is beautifully developed. The job market is great and it is a very affordable place to raise a family.\n\nI hope you guys check these places out. I’ve only listed the countries which I felt were the best options but I’ve lived in almost all the countries with a sizeable Muslim population. Best wishes to you folks from the Sayyid family. Allah be with you.

More or less understand and respect all your points. Welcome to wherever you are going. I would have done it slightly differently. I would rather work within the system and spread the light. Would recommend to keep your citizenship and ties. That said, each to his own. You will realise there is no heaven on earth ….. I’ve lived in 8 countries in 3 continents. Haven’t found it although some come close

You should do what is best for your family. But I don't really understand your first reason. As much as Western countries are complicit in what is happening, so are many Muslim countries like UAE, Saudi, Bahrain. And I assume you are definitely planning to move to one of the countries in the Gulf. Leaving aside the government, I have seen more support for the Palestinian cause among the general population in the West that in my whole life in a Middle East country. I was born and brought up in the Middle East. I learnt more about the Palestinian cause infact living in a Western country now. Living in a gulf country, I have infact seen less regards for the underprivileged amongst my Arab friends that I see amongst western people. It is true I am a good Muslim living in a Middle East country, but I realise I am a better human being because I live now in a Western country.

May Allah Subhaanahu Wa Taala protect you guys, may He make this hijra easy for you, may He grant you what you seek, may He make you and your chilren from the ones He loves, Aameen! I am from Pakistan and can't ever imagine leaving my country to go live in foreign lands. Alhamdullilah, I feel very safe here. It is a Muslim country, alhamdullilah, although there is a major class of citizen coming up here who'd like it to be more 'open minded' like the West. May Allah protect us from that day. I would suggest that you move to Saudi Arabia, preferably into or around Makkah or Madinah. I believe that these two are the best cities in the world for Muslims. Imagine saying your five daily prayers in Masjid-e-Haraam or Masjid-e-Nabawi! You kids could study there and grow up speaking and understanding Arabic like Arabs. Imagine the understanding and appreciation they'd have of the Quran and Hadith moreover, they'd be able to reap benefits from the work of all major scholars. InshaaAllah. BUT, on the other hand, you guys are Allah's workers there in Canada. You could do dawah, spread Allah's word (you're doing that beautifully already). You'd be doing what the messengers of Allah did. Think of it this way, if you leave, there'll be one less family supporting Palestine and the Islamic way of life in Canada. Maybe, Allah wants someone like you to represent Him there. Allahu Aalam. There's this beautiful piece of Urdu poetry by Syed Sadiq Hussain, it goes something like this ' Tundi-e-baad-e mukhalif se na ghabraa ae uqaab --- Yeh to chalti hai tujhay ooncha uranay ke liye!' translation:- Do not fear the strength of the head-winds (opposing wind) O' eagle -- it but blows only to help you soar higher! All I'm saying is that there's another way of looking at your dilemma. You guys are like a small, bright light in a dark night and can help lost travelers reach safety. Cheesy, I know. Do Istikhara, let Allah give you His suggestion. Follow it and you can never go wrong innshaaAllah. What ever you decide, our dua'a are with you, uhhibukum fi'llah. Wassalam Wa Rahmah!!

one of the reason God blocked my idea of working in canada —-less islamc environment

I live in Canada I recommend you to visit Surrey BC in Canada once again if you see the crowd of Surrey and all people there are Punjabi you will be shocked because in Surrey there are really less Canadians in my school also 80% of the people are immigrants and the less 20% are Canadians

Israel has made no less than 4 offers of peace with the Palestinians of Gaza, they have turned them all down and decided to just continue terrorizing Israel with rockets and bombs for decades - the Muslim extremists do not want peace, have you just tuned into this now?!

A rich country is where everything is affordable, houses, food, healthcare, schools, less taxes, less stress and family oriented community. No matter if their currency is lower than 1st world countries. I love living in my 3rd world country, such a paradise on earth.... where people stay in tents in the weekends in the mountains or beaches for chilling out.

First there is no so call palestinians less their land period

Toronto votes Liberal so it drags itself along with the rest of Canada nto decline. Trouble is that the Toronto Liberals move to less Liberal areas and keep voting Liberal and bringing those areas into decline. \nYears ago i visited Toronto and was surprised to see an elderly man sleeping in a cardboard box in the rich financial district. Was surprised to see but I helped a blind man to a bus stop when the Toronto crowd ignored him.now you say it is worse.

Basically one of the main reasons why Toronto is so expensive is because, of huge amounts of both domestic and foreign immigrants moving into the city. Same thing is happening in every big westurn city in the world. In other words, the only wat to bring down rents, would be if new foreign immigrants went to the towns, instead of just going to Toronto and Vancouver. Perhaps Toronto should figure out a way to make it's self less cool and less appealing haha.

Same is happening here in Australia. Cost of living is unbearable even if you are earning six figures it’s pointless, and worse is housing, you need a minimum $1.3 million to buy any house even 50KM away from city with no infrastructure, There is no chance you can afford it. Government has imported 1.5 million immigrants in less than 2 years it’s ruined our country

The Arabs just want to colonize. They could care less who dies

They also placed Hamas in charge so while what is happening to them now is gut wrenching and horrific, you can’t expect anything less when the leaders you elect attack a neighboring country and hide behind its citizens during a war they started

They could clearly care less about the Palestinians.

Humanitarian aid that is being stolen by Hamas. Hamas is the true enemy of the Palestinians. The Saudis couldn't care less about their supposed Muslim brothers and sisters.

So why doesn’t he use his influence with oil and force America to stop the war by putting pressure on Isreal. This guy couldn’t care less for Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine. What a cop out answer he just gave while swimming in the dollars he receives

In other words he couldn't care less about the Palestinians. No other Arab country has offered to take them either lol.

You can not carry a weapon in public. Doesn't matter its religious or not. Just because its religious doesn't make it less dangerous.

Saudi Arabia couldn't care less about Palestinians, its all lyp service.

As someone in his late twenties living in Quebec, I got to say this is very accurate. I won't say things are as bad as some other people are saying in the comments, but I do feel like the country is going downhill. For me, these are the main three things that feels wrong:\n\n1. We, as citizen, tend to offload every responsibility to the governments. Each election, they promise to handle more, but fail times and times again to deliver on their existing responsibilities. But we still vote for them, because we fear personal responsibilities. They created these immovable bureaucratic monsters and they lost control. They promise new shiny things instead of fixing what is already in place.\n2. We lost all notion of what is necessary. People gets more and more entitled which leads to overconsumption and frustation. Quebecers used to be proud peoples who survived with the little they had. Now greed has consumed our identity and nothing is holder us together.\n3. I feel that jobs are less and less useful to the society. Even I, as an electronic/software engineer, wonder if my job as meaning. I feel we lost touch with the concrete world. Some people have 0 contribution to anything useful and have really good salary and work conditions, while others bust their ass in shitty conditions. I feel like everything that we need is produced/done by a frighteningly small amount of individuals.\n\nBut from what I heard Canada isn't the only country to feel these. It maybe just hit us harder.\n\nP.S: It came out way worst than I initially intended. Maybe it is that bad...

Let this digest... The population of Canada is less then that of California.. you cannot compare them to the USA

Just for context, during conflicts in Sudan, Syria, Ukraine ect the whole world unites to take them in more or less. \nHow Arab countries support Palestinians:\n1) Don't give them shelter in their darkest hour.\n2) Won't use their armies to support them. \n3) Won't push for other Arab countries to dismantle their Palestinian refugee camps.\n3) Use state media like Al Jazeera to lay all the blame on Israel and go back to chilling in palaces. \nDEFLECTION: Strategy to keep Palestinians refugees for 75yrs also works to feed my fussy 3yr old.

The noun “Israel” occurs 2,507 times in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. Twice “Israel” has a verb in the feminine singular form: 1 Samuel 17:21 and 2 Samuel 24:9.The Land of Israel has been inhabited since 2000 B.C.E. Populated by the Jewish people. Here is the timeline in case you didn't know it is their homeland as designated by GOD.\n\n1900 B.C. 400 BC: Abraham is chosen by God to be the father of the Jewish nation.\n1900 B.C. 400 BC: Isaac, son of Abraham, rules over Israel.\n1850 B.C. BC: Jacob, son of Issac, rules over Israel.\n1400 B.C. BC: Moses leads the people from Egypt back to Israel.\n1010 B.C. BC: King David unites the 12 tribes into one nation.\n970 B.C. BC: King Solomon, son of David, builds the first temple building in Jerusalem\n930 B.C. 400 BC: Israel is divided into two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah. 800s B.C. BC: The rise of the prophets, God's messengers.\n722 B.C. BC: The Kingdom of Israel is conquered by the Assyrians.\n605 B.C. BC: The Kingdom of Judah is conquered by the Babylonians.\n586 B.C. 400 BC: Solomon's Temple is destroyed by the Babylonians.\n539 B.C. 400 BC: Persians conquer the Babylonians and take control of Israel.\n538 B.C. BC: The Jews return from exile to Israel.\n520 B.C. BC: The temple is rebuilt.\n450 B.C. BC: Reforms by Ezra and Nehemiah.\n433 B.C. 400 BC: Malachi is the end of the prophetic age.\n432 B.C. BC: The last group of Jews returns from exile.\n333 B.C. BC: The Greeks conquer the Persian Empire.\n323 B.C. 400 BC: The Egyptian and Syrian empires take over Israel.\n167 B.C. 400 BC: The Hasmoneans recapture Israel and the Jews are ruled independently.\n70 B.C. BC: Romans conquer Israel.\n20 B.C. BC: King Herod builds the “third” temple\n6 B.C. BC: Jesus Christ is born in Bethlehem\n70 AD: Romans destroy the temple Afterwards the people were prisoners of the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and Crusaders. Despite all these events, the Jewish people continued to live in Israel. There were more or less of them depending on the century, but there was never a time when Jews did not live in the country. They stayed, they built their communities, they raised their families, they practiced their faith, and they suffered at the hands of many outside rulers, but they always kept their faith. It's what keeps her alive even now.\n\nIn 1948, the United Nations founded the State of Israel, the Nation of the Jews. Don't buy the Palestinians' lie that they are entitled to the land. It's simply not true. Yahweh will also provide His chosen people with an opportunity to live in Israel as He has for thousands of years. Pray for the people of Israel.

Canada is losing it's middle class in order to cater to the richest of the rich... diversify Canada damn...spread the wealth around to all levels of business. Canada has a high failure rate for small business...100k less are starting businesses then from th 70s.

He never mentions how. Seems like they support hamas who has even said themselves that it's the job of the UN to take care of the civilians. They couldn't care less about the people. Religion of peace they say...

My parents came from India to the US and eventually became professors at the University of Arizona in Tucson where the cost of living was relatively low. Being an only child made our living standard that much better. Had we lived in a city like New York or San Francisco, the cost of living would have been much higher and possibly we would not have lived as well. But then there are many places in the US where the cost of living is even less than where we lived in Arizona! Indeed, in the United States, the cost of living can substantially vary depending on where you live.

kamo mga canadian ba maka reklamo sa inyong quality of life..adto kaha mo magpuyo sa mga less fortunate na countries.\n\nand your king doesn't care.

Canadians have voted for services they can’t afford, mis-management of government, not caring for their grandchildren or children’ future, leaving them with debts impossible to pay off. It’s amazing how Canada, but not just Canada, is intent on national suicide. Such a shame! Canada survives by selling raw materials to Asia. (China) Now that China’s manufacturing is all leaving for other countries, Canada’s income (GDP) will continue to shrink, until other countries develop enough to take over from China. However, even with that, most all countries in the world, except African ones and some middle eastern ones, have shrinking populations, leaving the world with less and less consumers. Not a recipe for a successful future.
