Born and raised in Canada for 25 almost 26 years and I leave for Macedonia in May. Even countries in much different and not as good situations show better potential than this country.

2:40 ha ha!! That shd be your FIRST reason to leave Canada.\n\nWHY did you come to Canada in the first place. It’s NOT a Muslim country for you to compare it with, unless you have an AGENDA thru this video to ask Govt to make Canada Myslim country “If you don’t make it Myslim we are leaving….” …?

Far more people than we can ever think are truly leaving Canada. The world is very big for who can appreciate it.

I am living in Australia, great to hear you are leaving Canada. Yes Canada. I have visited Canada and love it. Great place for skying in winter, hopefully you found a country soon. Let me give you some suggestion of choice to got to 1. Afghan, Pakistan, Yeman and Gaza will be the best choice as you can help build the country back. Good luck.

Is this in the news lately? I didn't even know there are many people leaving Canada,??

I'm sorry to hear that you wish to leave Canada. I understand the problem with winters. I think inflation is a world problem that you can not escape. I don't believe that the government is doing anything more than trying to be inclusive to all of the 'others' of our society but then I am an old man living in a very isolated place. My children were raised Muslim but not of the 5 prayers a day. My disappointment with the Canadian government's and opposition's stance regarding the genocide in Gaza is huge and it is the best reason you have given. Canada as with Germany in Namibia has its own problems living up to the genocides we have committed in the past. If you go to Malaysia I hope you become sensitive to the 'others' that live in that country.

Mr. & Mrs Saleh, Congratulations and I salute you for having the fortitude and courage to take a stand and for making this decision. I fully support you. I was born and raised in Canada (Montreal /Ottawa) to Haitian immigrants and I decided to permanently leave Canada in 2021 with my family for many of the same reasons you conveyed. I wish you all the best in shaping your own path. Unfortunately, Canada ceased being a country a long time ago. It is now nothing but a memory. ♥️

Hopefully many other Muslims leave Canada as well.

your kin destroyed canada, sucked the social services to the marrow and now you leave.

I was born in Toronto and bought a house in Ajax in 2013 (before the housing market exploded). \n\nEverything you said in your video is correct. As a new comer, I know it’s hard to advance your career, make friends or buy property. \nMy son is 23 and will probably never be able to own a home and he wants to leave Canada for a better quality of life. \nRaising taxes, high rent, the failing healthcare system, and poor quality of life (plus the cold weather) are all factors that should make immigrants NOT want to come here. \n\nAs far as making friends, you hit the nail on the head. People in Canada are polite, but not friendly. I find it the same here in Toronto. You’re most likely to build friendships with people you work or go to school with. I feel we lack the sense of “community” and don’t put in as much effort to maintain friendships. \nI blame the weather for this.

Trudeau is a good reason to leave that pig destroyed Canada

I have been in US for 20 years and can understand the experience that you are sharing. Frankly, countries like US and Canada are not for people who can’t do some basic things on their own. \nPeople leave their families and comfort of their home and come to these countries either to earn money, eventually have a good quality life or to provide a good quality education for their kids. If you don’t have a reason good enough to make that move and keep the option of running back home on facing little hardship then there is no way you can live in these countries. Forget about going and living in other countries you can’t even go and live in another state within India. Do you think it’s easy for a North Indian to go and live in South (or vice versa) where they encounter language and culture barriers? \nYou were in much much better situation as you already had PR and didn’t have to go through stress of handling uncertainty on your visa situation based on job.\nTrust me it takes few years for you to get adjusted to new environment, culture, people, food etc. But, as you spend more and more time in these countries you get more accustomed to way of living here and then you become so comfortable with it that you don’t want to go back at all.\nDon’t want to judge anyone but I guess in your case at your age with family already settled in India you didn’t have a solid enough reason to get out of your comfort zone and give time to get used to such big transition in your life

One of the big problems is that Canada is bringing in more people when we are not equipped to handle it( housing etc). So Please , convince another 5 million people to leave.

As a canadian and québécoise living in Montréal... its even worst in our province then anywhere else in canada! I am also thinking about leaving for good.

sad to see some people leaving canada BUT it will ease the housing crisis our politicians did not see coming and still have difficulty to acknowledge.

*I'm not Canadian, but where are the people who are leaving Canada moving?*

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!

Muslims and arabs are not compatible to live in the west. Good decision to leave Canada and find a place where you could live happily after and good luck.

As a Canadian born Hindu Indian, who grew up in Australia…\n\nIm glad youre leaving Canada. Feel free to move to a Muslim Country

Where are some actual stats about people leaving Canada?

I think it's fair to say also that they are allegedly leaving Canada including their Canadian citizenship to be a fair statement....otherwise that's hypocrisy and just using the Canadian advantage.

I think it's fair to say also that you are leaving Canada including your Canadian citizenship to be a fair statement....otherwise that's hypocrisy and just using the Canadian advantage.

Lol! Here, many people comment on their decision to leave are also living in colonised Canada, which is the land of native American

I've lived in Canada most of my I agree with your video I'm leaving this country to it's not a good place to

You can be disillusioned or you can just accept the facts. I know a guy who's family moved from Spain to Argentina when Spain had a downturn in their economy. Now he has moved BACK to Spain when Argentina's economy took a downturn. Iran was nice for women in the 70's, now not so much. Countries go up and down throughout time. BTW, The Liberals have ruined Canada. So please, if any viewer has ever voted for the Liberals, please leave Canada.

People immigrate to Canada because they failed to succeed in their own countries. Many of them have fake degrees. . I have met many of them at work who know little about what they claim their degree is in. A wealthy businessperson in South America or Asia has no interest in relocating to Canada. Why would someone leave a tropical paradise and come to Canada unless they're a nobody in their own country.

Canada doesn't care that ur leaving.

All european people need to leave canada also. Canada belongs to the original inhabitants the natives

As an Indian Living in America. We Indian, make the country we live in as our Home. I mean Home.\nI support your decision to leave Canada. I hope all Mooslims do the same and only stick to izlamic countries. Where you can freely practice your faith. And there will no fighting in rest of the world. God Bless Us All.

I am a white conservative gun owner and I am leaving Canada for a constitutional permit less carry staye

Moved to Canada in 2017 and looking to leave in 2024. I was lucky to come here with a job and I’m making a six figure income even though I’m far from being successful. However, the problem with canada at the moment is even if you have a decent job and not too bad salary, you still can’t afford a home and the rent keeps going through the roof. Canada’s obsession with immigration is lazy and irresponsible. The politicians and elites see immigrants as cash cows and instead of creating companies that generate jobs and wealth, they speculate in the housing markets which are fuelled by immigrants. Immigration is not necessarily a bad thing but you do it with a plan, definitely not as radically as Canada did under the liberal government. The massive immigration only helps the rich, the already haves and the investors. Ask middle and lower classes how they feel about their life quality in Canada, do they really benefit from the immigration? They fight hard for jobs with minimum wages, pay for ridiculous rents, wait in the long line at the emergency rooms, get into bidding wars in the housing markets …. If you are not rich, simply don’t come to Canada. It’s not worth it unless you enjoy living from paycheck to paycheck and owning nothing.

Please leave Canada… No problem. Having visited most of the world myself … no problem and good luck where-ever you land.

All five reasons to leave Canada are kind of lame, but anyways, as a Canadian I am glad and support your decission. Not kind of people we want in Canada....

Good decision to leave Canada, not worth to stay there.

Being constantly worried about your kids Hibjabs being ripped off would be enough reason for me to leave, along with the unclean praying locations. Spread the word Canada is not Islamic. Your OK but Transgender People aren't. Bye

Interesting! Making an announcement that you're leaving a country and going to another country before you decided which country you want to go, looks a bit impetuous. Also leaving Canada and going to another Muslim country where literally 99.9% people are trying to go the opposite way makes me think this announcement is premature. \nAlso, I know lot of people that made an attempt to go to India from US/Canada for reasons of not wanting to raise the children in Western Culture. Among them about 90% came back to the West in less than two years. In my estimate it's even more difficult in the Islamic countries except Turkey and Dubai (which one may question if are even Islamic). \nAnyway, if you succeed and were actually able to settle, you're in the tiniest percentage of the people who were able do that; not a small feat! Anyway, best of luck!

I wish others that think like you would also move. Please leave and give up your Canadian Citizenship. The sooner you leave the better it is for Canada.

Please leave Canada. Move to Palestine and don't come back again.

Saleh Family,\n\nSo many posts wishing you 'well' on your planned move but not one speaking out about your reasons or the discrimination you faced for wearing a Hijab or that Canada is supporting a Genocide.\n\nIt is almost like they are happy to see you leave because you are Muslim. Sorry to say that many of these 'wishing you well' posts are in fact clear proof of racist mindsets.\n\nIf they cared, they would have been sad that someone is leaving because they faced inhumanity.

Hi Brother / Sister ( SALEH's Family ) Well, your decision to leave Canada is good & courageous ... specially for the sake of your children. Your story is absolutely true , because you are not alone to face this facts. Many other families also are preparing / or are already left this country for some reasons as yours.....But now my very QUESTION to you , may looks quite embarasing & difficult ....Where are you going to find really a GOOD place ( a Paradise Country ) to live a happy life ? .... well by now, in this year 2024, there are WARs everywhere. There are MAD / CRAZY people everywhere. Our planet Earth is full of EVILS .... Well, I mean , You & me / everybody are living in the same boat ....sailing on a very BAD sea. The Evil Spirits are now present in almost all societies ( The Corrupt Governments / bad Politicians / bad Educations / attacking Churches or bad Health care system . No security & dangerous people everywhere) etc .....By now, the only place, You can find a little happiness to live a Safe & peaceful life, is in CHINA . Bye & God bless you all .....( John NG )

Leaving the west is needed because it's so dangerous of BIPOCs. Europe, Canada, United States are just unsafe. The only safe bet is to move to a place with a future, like China or even Russia. There you will be safe and prosper. Everyone lives well in China.

the only reason you need to leave Canada - Trudeau

The main reason to leave Canada must be being this country promoting LGBT agenda...which is worse than people of prophet Lot peace be upon him...

Guess what I left Canada years ago, I became a Malaysian resident 8 years ago and I'm not leaving; by far a much better quality of life, you can have my spot.

Come to China. It's amazing! I moved to China from Canada 7 years ago. I am so happy I made the decision to leave. ?

It´s actually Christians that are subject to most religious hate crimes in the world. And Jews of course. I´ve heard alot about people leaving Canada and the US lately.

I’ll tell you why my family and I moved out of Canada and emigrated to the USA because of mainly one reason — RACISM!!! The racism in Canada was so so bad, the worst I’ve ever seen on 4 continents!!! I dusted off my shoes after leaving and never want to go back!!!

You will live well anywhere in the world if you have money or a good source of income. All the Canadian ex-pats living abroad have either money (they made here), real estate that they can sell or rent to have income from here, a Canadian pension or a willingness to live in the forest/off-grid, as many videos show. No place is affordable for the people living there, and that's why many immigrants still leave their countries and come here. For example, many Canadians move to Mexico, while many Mexicans are moving here. Canadians still have it good, believe me!! I travel and see. Yes, we have many challenges with housing and the high cost of living like BIG cities worldwide do. So, people saying they will leave Canada are still privileged people.

Leaving Canada for some 3rd world country for the sake of kids? Sorry guys, that sounds insane to me. And I’m a world traveler. You guys are exaggerating your childhood indoctrination, i.e. religion, to the extent of diverting reality. You’re screwing your kids’ future for your faith? That’s so selfish. What kind of parents are you?

The reason why canada is expensive to live or make a life and living is because of our narcissist of a prime minister Trudeau his popularity has plummeted downwards while perrier poilievre has jumped in popularity so its no joke that people r leaving canada cuz of housing costs, power tripping which includes that news reporter incident
