It seems like one of the only viable ways to make money was to work in the city and commute from the surrounding area which is hours of your life wasted and not spent working or making money. \n\nBut even this is no longer as good of a plan because of thr housing crisis. Expensive rent and house prices in big cities like Toronto made a lot of people move out and the rents have risen in the surrounding area where there is less high paying jobs.

Whoevers getting parts of those billions of dollars better be spending it like water so it feeds into the other working canadians and canadian businesses. my two cents.\nand someone remind me..who owns these homes are being built? Are they government ones? Are the schools planning to build more 'residences' -mandate it per school population? And....anything to stop international investors? Though i think the cost of internationals is way too high - it should INCLUDE housing and food at that point.

Why can't Canada build new cities, opportunities for new services which will grow the economy. I see a poor economic model, improper planning, and mismanagement of a welfare state here. So, much opportunities since there is huge demand - a great place for thriving entrepreneurship.

Nobody talking about zero growth during 2021 and double growth in the following year. If your immigration plan is 500k and you skipped a year and doubled it a year later to catch up. Guess what 1 million isn’t too many.

The problem with academia is that leadership doesn't plan for long term future, all plans whether for growth or downsize are short term solutions that inevitably create unwanted outcomes in the long run... Have seen it in so many places and on so many issues :((

Going as planned?

Immigrants? I'm a citizen planning on leaving cuz this country is being destroyed by its leaders

I also Ieft last year.. If this is Canada's plan to drive immigrants away, it worked.

In our country, countless citizen children face daunting obstacles to education due to restrictive policies. The imperative lies in reevaluating seat allocation in educational institutions, prioritizing admission for all eligible citizens over enforcing impractical requirements. Presently, stringent conditions, demanding a 98% average across all classes, serve as formidable barriers, especially in prestigious programs like Computer Science at the University of Waterloo or Business at the University of Toronto.\n\nThese entry criteria demand a more pragmatic approach. The existing system seems to prioritize selling seats to international students, often at the expense of deserving local candidates, based on financial contributions. Moreover, dishonest practices, such as buying grades through online schools or bribing high school teachers, corrode the very integrity of our education system.\n\nAmidst these challenges, the lack of guidance from school counselors leaves Canadian students uninformed about strategic academic planning. Proactive counseling becomes crucial to enlighten students on the importance of enrolling in Grade 11 courses during Grade 10 and Grade 12 courses during Grade 11. This strategic approach empowers students to make informed decisions, strategically dropping courses for a better chance of success, aligning with the tactics employed by foreign students vying for available seats.\n\nThe current state of our education system is untenable, necessitating essential reforms. Every Canadian citizen student deserves the right to pursue higher education, liberated from the influence of financial gains for institutions. It is crucial to address these issues, highlighting the immorality and wrongness of pressuring kids to achieve a 98% for their future. Some achieving perfect scores may resort to dishonest means, taking cognitive-enhancing drugs, or being denied the opportunity to experience a normal childhood. This underscores the urgent need for a fair and accessible educational landscape prioritizing the well-being and ethical development of all citizens.

This country needs skilled immigrants who are going to positively contribute to the well being of the country not the open borders that we presently have. Any economic migrants who turn up at our borders and airports should be immediately turned around and sent back to apply through legal channels not taken to the nearest hotels and financed at the taxpayers expense. Once upon a time a person wanting to come here had to have a job lined up and a bank account before they were considered. The international students plan is rediculous and out of hand. Our own indigenous population and homeless should be at the front of the line before any others are considered.

Moved to Toronto 9 years ago, now planning to move out of Ontario due to high crime, crazy drivers who love to tailgate and expensive compared to my birth place, Montreal Quebec. Back in the early 80's Toronto was the place to reside in, but no longer.

This prince is so eloquent. I really admire him. He is not going to help the Israelis with their illegal plans of ethnic cleansing.

What are the Saudis doing about the current situation? I thought they had a plan but im beginning to doubt that.

The Trudeau government massively messed this up. Trudeau and his naive idealism without any downstream planning or collaborating with the Provinces and major Municipalities. Massive increase in immigration, and more significantly massive influx of refugees and temporary workers are all Federal responsibilities. The Trudeau government is using foreign students influx as a fault, because it deflects the issue of the lack of housing on students. Wagging the dog will not solve this problem.

WEF. Plan. Simple. RESIST.

Have you guys decided yet where you y'all moving to? I am planning to move out of the US as well. Have you looked into Oman & Madinah ?

I went to Canada in 1993, to Montreal. And after 30 years I was more happy to leave and don't plan to come back. Not the same country anymore. Too much immigration, to expensive, too much taxes ans many others to come, not a good infrastructure (they have no money left ), not good services, crazy gouvernement. And from my point of view the bad is about to come. Bad politics, covid was crazy, it don't worth my time, presence and money.

it would be okay if Canada had housing but there's a shortage of places for these students to live and no obvious plan how to fix this problem

How on earth is there no cap on international student intake? Why is Canadian govt so very poor with planning?

Is it really realistic for the handful of European created societies to absorb, and take care of every other culture to the point of being minorities themselves? Who the hell is running these shows? Clearly theres no plan to slow or stop this process. I, for one, predict major civil unrest in the near future. I hope Im wrong.

For a government sponsored money grab they have totally mismanaged this without much thought or planning.

Well we are planning to move Dubai or india

BIG RESET? its all planned and orchestrated to bring CHAOS And COLLAPSE, look at the timing, same Bs Is happening in the US, Europe, food for thought...

Turkey already opened up places for them. Is there a plan behind it? Is Saudi blind for it? Turkey will stand agianst you. The king of th north will fight the king of the south and have victory.

400,000 foreign peoples.students.seems like alot of them aren't planning on leaving after their studies are completed.legally of course.The basic issue is a civilians right to a standard of treatment from healthcare,policing,schools,housing.We are being treated less than fair as citizens who have contributed for generations this is not an unreasonable issue.who greenlighted this chaos?anyone?

Anyone with the means is planning an exit from Canada. The great nation it once was has been ruined by the liberal virus. I’ve made my exit, but will still be voting for Pierre who will finally defund the propaganda wing of the liberal government…the cbc. If you actually care about Canada and plan a future there, you’d better be voting conservative.

Canada is no longer a country but an economic zone. Just a bunch of people living in the same place. Every study on the issue says the same thing. The more homogeneous the population, the more cohesive the society.Just look at Japan and Korea. This is all part of the WEF plan to destabilize the West. Cause the fall of the nation state and place us under the control of the globalist cabal.

On top of the international students taking up the housing market, the country will taking more refugees from Ukraine this year. So where are they planning to house them?

Canada ruined essentially with poor immigration planning by political parties and politicians

Hey Tyler i love your work. I am a savagely loyal Albertan. \nAlberta is the best province. Change my mind. \nBut if Alberta starts slipping to the Left with another NDP/Socialist government, i would move to the US no question. Not just anywhere though. The 2 coasts are dumpster fires. (No offense if you live there) Canada is messed up like the 2 coasts. Trudeaus MO has been to systematically dismantle this once great, thriving, proud country for 8 long years. With election fraud and more seats in the Maritime provinces than all the Western provinces, and the Federal government bribing those poorer provinces for votes, it may be a long time before the Liberals are removed. And we will eat Crickets in trudeaus dystopian plans for Canadians. This is not a joke. The individual States have much more power than the provinces. Look up Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, she has done great things in a short time. Mostly fighting Trudeau against his attempts to shut down our provinces oil and gas and farming to save the planet from climate change. ?

480,000 people have immigrated to Canada in the last 90 days. These are the poorest of the poor, people that are considered low skill in Punjab. Canada is taking them all, with no plan to feed or house them.

Dubai or qatar sounds good saudi sounds good aswell for there future plans

I'm planning to leave to . Mainly rent costs, and food is crazy high.

Canada hasn't always been this expensive, no. On a single, very average, middle-class salary, my Grandparents bought a detached home in the GTA, raised 6 kids and still managed to save around $350,000 for retirement despite the fact my Grandfather's job (as many jobs did in those days) provided him with a defined-benefit pension plan, which has been entirely stripped away from modern workers.\n\nThat was a mere 60 years ago. Canada used to be a paradise. All you needed was a willingness to work.

Canada is a woke frozen hell hole now. I am retiring in 4 years and already am planning my escape.

I am a Canadian on pension and I left Canada for the Philippines . I now have 50 % more money left over every month . Rent is $300 vs $1200 per month . Haircut is $2.40 , beer is $1.15 , Internet plan $ 19.00 per month . Food is cheaper and Restaurants also . Pick a cooler city such as Baguio or do your homework . Women here are feminine . People are good . Choose to live in the Province over the big cities . Immigration is killing Canada and Trudeau is the culprit !

I am from Manitoba and I TOTALLY AGREE with you. Such a bad province with very few good things about it. Although there are a couple of gems and good things but it is not worth moving here.I plan to move out sometime.

Planning to move to Toronto as a single person. You need a job paying minimum 65-70k just to pay your rent/ bills. As couple it’s easier, combine income 100k with less tax deductions. Now for each kid add 20k. You won’t grow but you will survive. If you want to flex in this city 250k or better is needed.

If you believe, as I do, that the CPC has an excellent shot to carry the next federal election, start asking your CPC riding association about their gun law plans. The NRA-funded CCFR and NFA meet weekly with the CPC leadership and policy people. The CPC is on the record as seeking to significantly relax gun control in Canada. The CCFR and NFA seek open and concealed carry of handguns, getting rid of background checks, getting rid of protections for battered women and ex-es. \nFrankly, the people in Canada who want less gun control have no choice but to vote CPC. (They can’t vote Liberal, Green, NDP, BQ.) Thus The CPC gains no vote by appealing to this demographic. By enacting USA gun laws, the CPC can only increase the murder rate, not their vote.

I hope people realize that these issues are not coming from the average person or the homeless themselves. The rich and your lazy politicians are helping to create these conditions. No one with a steady job should be homeless in any city. That makes no sense. Why is housing becoming so expensive in every major city in the western world? Sounds like a plan to me

433000 immigrants in the last 3 months of last year, govt planned 1 million units of housing to be built over the next 10 years. Month of December Canada gained 100 jobs. Surging inflation, do the math before you come here?

I am born in Canada and i lived in Montreal's suburb(South Shore like we say here) all my life and i love it but i would never live in big major cities because of increases of crimes, high prices of houses/condo, traffic jam, pollution. \nMy girlfriend from Beijing came here last september for 2 months and she really loved it. She enjoyed the freedom, the many different foods from other countries in restaurants, our culture , the people kindness, beautiful nature and easy living.\nYes we have too free medical health care here in Quebec's province(Sun card ) and i have an excellent medical plan with my employer so i can have acess to private clinics free of charges when it's too long in public hospitals.\nI hate snow and cold long winters since the age of 18 when i had to go out for work or school and i dont like our corrupt goverment but we can vote for a less worst one every 4 years. ?

Hijab planned for your daughters in Canada. Glad you're moving

If you are planning to leave then atleast go to Saudi Arabia, you won't need to save money your whole life for Hajj

The entire Western world is experiencing this. All part of the plan. Brace yourself folks, it’s going to get worse, not linearly, but with ups and downs, gradually trending downwards.

This is sad but I think this is happening all over the western world I’d say. There’s an explosion in migrant population. In some ways it’s good as it helps fund the economies of the countries as they are typically comprised of aging populations. But on the other hand, a lack of planning and forethought has meant that already faltering housing situations have turned into full blown crises. It’s just such an avoidable tragedy playing out in front of our eyes.

The residents of the sh**hole you are planning to move must be desperate to move to Canada

I moved from a third world country 3 years ago and planning to move back because somehow as crazy as it sounds Canada seems like a downgrade. No matter how Poor I was in South America I was always able to afford rent and groceries. Here, it’s one or the other.

Well done guys for sharing your thoughts and plans…please be a doer of what you preach. And keep us posted!

Canada then isn’t the appropriate country for a cheerful Muslim family to reside in for these essential reasons— aside from the extreme weather conditions. and the rocketing inflation. For more or less the same reasons, my niece who is a Canadian by nationality left Canada to return and live in Egypt— her motherland. I’m really curious to know where about will you be heading to! I sincerely wish you the peace you deserve, warmth, and a prosperous life. \n\np.s. ?Put Sharm El-Sheikh by the Red Sea in your travel plan!
