I used to teach and coordinate programs for international nurse, this is spot on - and I have always wondered about Canadian students getting into programs - we need Canadian students who are talented and want to study but cannot afford it. There is so much i could unpack. In general, most of the students are lovely and hard-working, but the intent in most cases is to get a PR status - so most of them stay. Many also are disappointed with Canada - as they may come from a place where they were in a different social class. I know many of my students now are productive members of Canadian society working in their chosen fields. I am proud of them - as the move was not easy and they left their families behind. Considering that most of the world is a collectivist culture versus our individualist culture of the West, there is much to adjust to. Good piece.

No wonder there more tents popping up on Toronto streets.\nStop selling foreign investors homes.

I wonder how many Canadians are fleeing Canada….

And then they wonder why civilians die in a war zone, same thing happened in the battle of Berlin, it’s always the urban areas that have civilian casualties when it’s a war zone, Gaza Strip is nothing but cramped up urbanized areas filled with humans shields.

It was wonderful to have international students in my classes at university. Remember, the government and the scam schools are the ones who let in unsustainable numbers. They screwed up, not the international students.

I wonder how canadian the host looks ???

So faculty greed is destroying Canada with the lack of affordable housing, rising homelessness, lack of care for its citizens, etc.? They want the students high tuition money because they pay more. I wonder if it's the same in the US. I guess this is called selling out? No wonder China has caught up so quickly as there is a ton of Chinese students that come here.

I wonder how they wear head bands.Looks very elegant ❤?

I saw many times the ads about Canadian Dream here in YouTube. It looks beautiful and promising, but turned out the reality is not like that. I wonder why their government encouraging people to immigrate to Canada but not really ready to accept them.

Canada is a mess, only one political party to blame ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️. This is what happens when you let too many unskilled people in and not enough housing or work for them to do. Then you allow everyone to get stoned legally then you allow harder drugs to be used legally. Then you wonder why the vulnerable are taken advantage of by all the drug dealers…

Canada is not an attractive country anymore. I told my friends in my orgin country like even don't take a trip here to spend your valuable money for these stupid axxhxxx Canadians. In stead, trip to the states we can call beautiful and wonderful country in the world!

And there is no way that ALL SAUDIS feel this way. The minister expressed his opinion, eloquently, and it is still just his opinion, not the message of the Saudi government. Let’s see what they’re going to do, if and when Iran attacks them who is going to be their ally? It sure is not going to be Hamas, Hezbollah. Apparently they have not seen the Israeli evidence yet, but when the savages go on trial, they will hear the evidence against them. I wonder what they would do if their nation was attacked, they would spare no expense any eliminating their enemy. They know that Israel is not their enemy.

Great video ,makes you wonder what is going to happen next.?!?

We all like to push this narrative about how wonderful multiculturism is, but is it actually a good thing, or are we simply saying this cos we want to sound very open minded and inclusive? \n\nCountries need to retain their own identity. So if we want to move abroad, we should be willing to integrate in to their society (even if we do have some different beliefs from them in other ways). Moving to another country, not integrating and just hanging out with people from your own country isn't really good for anyone. We just create divides within that society and thus become more detached and distant from one another. \n\nAlso, living in high rise buildings seems quite dehumanizing to me. Sure, it must be cool to have a good view, but that's not how humans should live and exist- stacking thousands of people on top of one another.

Excellent explanation, it’s good that you and your husband are working together to minimize the coast, but oh my God how old are you? You look very young but still, you lived in so many places around the world from Germany to Indoneasia, and now, you are five years in Canada, but you look, of course, from the far east, so that’s another probably four country, oh my God, you lived everywhere in this world, I wonder how many languages you speak by now, good luck for you you are very good explainer, I love cold, lovely, snowy weather, but just enjoy it, but not to live in it. I am happy that I live in Florida, it is true you might not want to get into politic, or your program is not about politic, but it is politician, who makes the rules that affect everything, so one way or another we are a result of political decision

However, five times negotiators since 1947 have offered Palestinians and Israel a two state option and every time the Palestinians have turned it down. Something wrong one wonders when no Arab state are supporting or joining the Palestinians in their cause?

Do they also have they right to terror attack Israel too? I wonder

US family here. We were a big downhill skiing family, and often spent our winter vacations in the Laurentians. The exchange rate was great back in the 1990s and early 2000s. So when the time came to start looking at colleges, our daughter already associated Canada with fun, and fell in love with the University of Toronto. She was accepted. But before Canada would issue her a student visa, we had to provide evidence that we could pay full tuition, room, and board out of pocket. For all four years! They wanted an iron guarantee that she would never become a ‘ward of the state’ or consume public assistance services. We had to jump through soooo many logistical hoops for her to attend, it was exhausting to facilitate. But she graduated with honors in four years. All that time, the city was beautiful, clean, and vibrant, though not inexpensive. The St. George main campus, Queen’s Park, Bloor, Yongue Street, more. Everyone we met was friendly and respectful. We very rarely saw homeless and never tent communities. And crime seemed almost nonexistent except for bicycle thefts. Our daughter made many international friends and forged great relationships she carries to this day. So many wonderful memories. So it’s heartbreaking to hear how downhill the city has become. And the US is no different. It’s all in the politics, and neither Trudeau’s nor Biden’s policies are helping.

Sadly, no one wants to give these Gazans any refuge. Wonder why?

I guess wherever you want to move to, it has to be a muslim-majority country. I'm a Singaporean but currently living in Amman for the past 16 years. I won't advise you to come here though raising your kids here would be wonderful. One obvious factor that makes me not recommend you is the economy of the country. Many graduates here can't find a good job.. pay is low, high cost of living and so many would rather work in the gulf countries. But moving to an islamic country and raising my kids here, where they learn the deen and speak Arabic as the first language is ultimately the reward. Especially that we are very close to Palestine makes my kids be more aware of their deen and inshaAllah remain steadfast. Alhamdulillah

Hi kemi, thanks for the wonderful video. You mentioned at the last part of the video that my husband have to provide same document as I, does that include the wes and IELTS If am the principal applicant. Must he do Wes and IELTS as you mentioned , your husband didn't do this two.

Hmmm...I wonder whose political agenda benefits from sending the message that Canada sucks today?\nThere's more going on with this video than what's on the surface here. Smells plenty dishonest. Come clean.

Am I the only one here glad to hear people are leaving? These two are going home where they are the majority and they wonder why the majority in Canada don't want to change.

The problem with the youth of today is that they have everything but still think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence... Just because it's Palestine it's a big deal, i wonder if it was Dominica being hit would that have the same affect.

I really hope more Pro-Palestine people leave the Western world. It's a wonderful idea and I hope more follow your lead. Thank you!

Wonderful! You can buy all the empty houses and make a ton of money as a landlord. As people leave, real estate prices in Canada should be falling. Don't complain about Canada's taxes; they are half of that of Europe and Australia/NZ. And you must love the national healthcare!

In Canada ?? broken families. ? ?not love in society. You not see that in México. Wonder why? People live as families and not drugs and mental health ???

You can't go wrong in Dubai. I'm a non Muslim living here and it's the safest country I've ever lived in (as well as Bahrain), wonderful community, so much to do...and oodles of sunshine! It's not all Dubai bling, there are beautiful mountains, deserts, beaches. We never want to leave!

Wonderful. It would be great if all Muslims leave the West and move to the Middle East. I think the Middle East is truly the place for Muslims.

The question itself is malicious. Wonder what news outlet this reporter works for

Keep voting for liberals and keep on wondering why your city and nation is going down the tubes. here's a hint: Multi culturalism is a death sentence for any nation.

Wonderful response to an absolutely stupid and asinine question.

What a stupid question. It's unbelievable that some western journalists actually believe that is a legitimate question. It's quite actually baffling that you begin to wonder whether it's a lack of understanding of the situation or simply a racist mindset that engenders all this

Canada is wonderful depends on what time of circle or company you are living with . In last 8 years i haven’t encountered 1 single issue related to religion , ethnicity, racism, job, finance etc . \n\nEarning & Paying taxes in Canada is far better than living in India ?

You should transfer to any Arabic country to show the world how wonderful it is to live in an Islamic country. You seem to be a level-headed couple so you will be a good influence to other muslim people. Wonderful decision.

Just out of interest which is the wonderful country you plan to move to?

No country is a utopia. We typically hear about what all the wonderful things a place supposedly has, then you learn the whole story. The best way to really learn about a country is to read or watch books or movies meant for the locals, where they typically describe problems that occur, such as crime, corruption, social mores and such.

It sounds like he is saying to “lift the weight” there needs to be a ceasefire. I wonder why Hamas don’t want one?

Sick reporter... I wonder if she'll leave her house if there's an intruder

COME TO EL SALVADOR\nTHE ONLY FREE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD\nAnd our wonderful President is PALESTINIAN

I wonder why you didn't just move to another province as opposed to leaving the country

Also please do consider Oman. It’s a beautiful truly Islamic country. The Omani Arabs are most respectful and calm people. I loved living there. \nYou can drive and visit dubai in 4 hours. Believe me you don’t want to live there. It’s like Disney land. Visit have loads of fun then return home to wonderful Oman. If you work there as an expat you are provided lovely accommodation, tax free income and a tickets to your home country every year during your month off. \nIt’s super clean and many US, Canadian, European expats extend their contracts to stay longer because of the luxurious lifestyle.

Islamic environment don't quite understand that one wonder if saud Arabia has a Christian environment

I think Malaysia is a wonderful country to live.what you say is really true.

As a born and raised Canadian I made the decision to flee my homeland of 42 years the moment that the current regime came to power in 2015. I ended a highly successful, well-paid 20+ year career, sold everything I owned and was gone within six months. I am not a religious person, so that did not factor into my decision, though I knew what was coming since I had lived for years as a member of a minority that was constantly demonized by former Liberal rulers for decades.\n\nI completely understand your reasons for leaving and wish you all the best. Canada was a great place to grow up in and I wouldn't trade that experience for the world, but to say that it is now going through a process of state-funded and engineered societal decay would be an extreme understatement. It breaks my heart to see what's become of my once wonderful nation, but I've resolved to treat it like a deceased parent who lives on in fond memories, but is never coming back.\n\nI hope you find the ideal sanctuary for you and your children away from the madness plaguing the world these days and I am eager to see where your journey takes you. Best wishes.

I'm assuming that they will move to a Muslim/Arab country and not to any Western country. In fact, I wonder why muslims move to non-muslim countries and then complain about how they are treated. I wish most muslims were so peaceful and tolerant like this couple.

just wondering, free palestine from.........? and who was celebrating on the streets the day after 9/11?

As a Canadian I agree with everything you said. I myself am looking at our once amazing country wondering what went wrong. ?

I suggest you move to Afghanistan... wonderful place for muslims

9 years ago I stayed in Malaysia on two occasions as a workaway volunteer, each time for about two months. As I'm sure you know it's Muslim majority but with large Chinese and Indian minorities. I found it a wonderful place for people and still keep in contact with a Chinese and Indian friend.\nIf I were your age (I'm 79) I would definitely leave UK for your no's 1,2,3. Good luck.
