I’m leaving Canada as well, retiring to Thailand. Lower cost, good health care, warm weather. Lots of people, not just immigrants are leaving.

I’m okay with this. Cya later

We’ve got high unemployment, and rather than employ our own, we wanna bring it more people,\n\nAnd make other countries people’s lives easier and better, but not those of our own country?\n\nI’m tired of invaders and invader talking points

I love these and I loved the one you made in Spain!! (I'm Spanish)

I’m Canadian and I work with lots of immigrants because the government pays half their wage. My boss gets cheap labour and we work them hard. Most quit in less than a month but there are always lots more!! I love it.

Great... Nice to hear.\nJust a quick question.. I'm 43 years old. Kindly inform me ages an issue to find the job or settle in Canada ? \n\nKindly update with regards that...\nThank you in advance... have a great day ?

Hell, I'm a 4th generation Canadian, and I'm thinking of leaving.

Trudeau has turned Canada into a 3rd world! I’m planning on leaving too!

This has been building for at least two decades and I'm surprised that only now people are talking about this. There are few reasons anymore for quality immigrants to come to Canada. The only people coming here and staying are people coming from God-forsaken places that make Canada look like paradise, or wealthy investor immigrants who buy property here and maybe only live here for six months of the year.

The housing pricing in Canada are pretty insane. The value of my 900 SF condo in Victoria has doubled in the past 10 years. I don't know how anyone gets into the market today when you add in inflation for regular goods over the past couple years. I know it's become a hot button in parliament of late, and the government seems to be trying to spearhead more housing, but they are pretty late.\n\nI'm also a little surprised that a majority of conservatives don't think the immigration levels are too high. But I suspect that has gone down of late with the said housing issues. More skilled workers is better for Canada overall, and will generally drag wages up, but housing has to keep pace so costs don't escalate more than wages.

I love Canada, especially Toronto, my home for 20+ years. But I totally agree, in the past 5+ years, since 2015/2016, I noticed lots of changes to terrible, and never the same anymore. Although, I'm still very positive, there are still things that are amazing (i.e. events, volunteer opportunities), with extra caution, and visit other cities. Just living day-by-day, count blessings, focus on positivity, appreciate, and be thankful.

The Liberal feds are insane. I’m Canadian and if they win the next election I’m leaving Canada too. I don’t want to but I can’t take Trudeau any more.

You are true man. I lived in Europe and the first month I landed there, I knew that I will never be able to set big goals and achieve them. When I decided to move in Canada, everything changed. having citizenship seems normal, but thinking about Europe (Italy) where i had to wake up at 4 AM to be able to find a spot in the line to renew my documents, I only had to worry about my personal growth. Nowadays, thank you my Lord I am a M. I do not want to say it, but it is true. IO am ready to set new goals. Good luck to everyone who wants to come in Canada, but you have to be very good in order to accomplish great achievements (discipline). Only the sky is the limit in North America.

I chose Canada for being safe and health services. but now I'm thinking about leaving Canada. I think I won't be able to buy a house in the future due to prices, also Canada is not safe as before.

I’m retiring to Thailand, lower cost, beautiful weather and fantastic food. Leaving the ice and cold for warmth.

I'm so sorry for all these immigrants who can't find a lovely house to buy, while collecting welfare, abusing our social services and ruining our cities.

A couple from ......i'm not really sure, but they wear turbons, moved above me a month ago....i was so relieved when i saw them moving in....i knew they were'nt gonna party all night, fight, and put holes in the walls..like the tenants before....they work every day, and are respectful to other tenants at night....for that i am very thankful...mabe they should stay, send the druggies, welfare bums, lazy asses out of the country....Canada is a melting pot, and we need more like them.....

I can't blame them. I'm thinking of leaving too. Canada has lost the plot.

Living in Toronto is the worst part of my life. It has made me extremely negative - I just hate being there and constantly\nComplain. I have been lucky enough to travel for months at a time, and get to see how amazing other countries and cities are. But it has just opened my eyes to how awful Toronto is, and I dread the last few days of vacation because I know I have to go back to my downtown shoebox, listen to sirens and hate my existence again. Desperately want to leave, and hoping to this year, but the day to day is just so bad. I make decent money but haven’t been able to save a thing due to the high cost of living. The winter is coming and I dread that so so so deeply. F this city, I’m sorry.

After getting a PhD degree from University of Alberta, I’m moving to USA. I have nothing to do in Canada. This country is running by some clowns.

My family moved to Canada and now I’m moving out. It’s because the idiots in Ottawa screwed up the whole country.

Hell, I’m a citizen & I’m going to do the same. ?

No one wants to be poor by going to work I'm a framing carpenter and I will never A Afford tobuild a house for myself

Helpful video. Please i have a question. I will be moving with my family, spouse and two children. Please sir, 1.what is the exact amount for proof of fund for the family? 2. My spouse is my sponsor and intend paying my tuition fee, what will be my home tie since I'm moving with my family? Though my husband is not staying for long just to follow us there so that we can be fully settled before going back to work? We have landed properties and building. Can I use that as home tie or use my extended family since?

M from Michigan. M also new in America. India apnasa lagta hai.Abroad paraya sa lagta hai.Its my opinion.Himmat jaruri if you are coming to abroad plus we have to accept new changes in life in positive way. First 1 month we all enjoy later on the real life start...kabhi kabhi apne comfort zone se bahar aana bhi bahut jaruri hai.than only we come to know where we stand actual

Hello bro, thank you for your video, I'm living in Spain but things are not good.

I'm in Europe, and it's pure truth you just shared. I've never heard of any Ghanaian relocating from US or Canada to Europe, but it's always the other way round

I'm a Canadian and I would never move to America their Healthcare System for one is the pits

The difficult part is gelling with people. That is difficult, because we are not raised that way, but my son has no issues, because he was raised here. Moreover we also need to change a bit ourselves. Talking in Hindi in public places loudly, no one likes that. Throwing garbage the way we do in India, who would like that? Many people won't like what I'm writing, but that is the fact. Smoking in smoke free zones, spitting on the road, screaming in your balconies. No one likes that. \nYou need to merge in the society, not to stand out differently.

Why not allo?w others to come for their children ???you people just let them to come and see if they can't then go back, ???they will also cope ?????people ooooo???, before I came to dubai ?? alot of discourage about Africans in dubai yet they're are buying big cars and building Palaces at in Africa, ??I didn't care!!!! I'm unstoppable I came and almost 4yrs ???and planning to move to London or Canada ???I don't care!!!!

I m punjabi, we dnt ask for khalistan. Yet the dirty politicians across the borders are brainwashing the uneducated & unemployed youth to make them redicals. Also there are some singers are promoting the violence and some radicals in their songs , they also promote the fake canadian life in their songs i.e why youth is in favour of canada. Most of the khalistan issue is on social media only , the educated and working sikh does nt promote it

I'm scared to face the comparison!

Hello choco, please I want to know how long it takes for ircc to approve a work visa after doing biometric? I application for work visa and it been 15 weeks after my biometric and I'm still waiting for my visa to be approved. What should I do?

A knife is a knife, I'm sorry but rules for we rules for thee.\nRegardless of what you're homeland heritage customs and culture say is ok.\nAdapt to where you live and follow the common laws of all citizens.\nWhen exceptions are made it always causes problems.\nMulticulturalism should stay in fashion, food, and entertainment and remain from interfering with national culture as a whole.

Certainly, she is not being fair when it comes to presenting the facts. Her honesty is quite questionable. If someone secures a job like the one she's discussing, undoubtedly, very few would choose to remain in such a place.\n\n\nA message to the author: Please refrain from misleading young individuals for the sake of views. It's not advisable to continue creating videos when you can't truly understand the challenges of Canadian life and employment in just a few months.\nI strongly advise young people and families to reconsider their plans of moving to Canada. Invest a bit more effort and consider going to the United States instead. You can establish yourself in the USA, and don't assume that it's necessarily expensive. While it might be costly in larger cities, Indian students often share apartments to split the rent. In smaller towns like Kalamazoo, MI, the cost of living can be very affordable. Additionally, you'll likely find Indian employers who can provide you with cash jobs.\n\n\nWho am I? I'm someone who immigrated to Canada 22 years ago with a master's degree from a prestigious institute and a B.Ed. certification. I'm a certified teacher in Los Angeles and Ontario, Canada, but I never managed to secure a proper job in Canada. Later on, I earned a Master's degree in statistics from McMaster University, but I still couldn't find a suitable job, not even a laborer's job at that time.\nToday, you might be able to find a laborer's job, but you'd likely be stuck in such roles for the entirety of your working life, struggling to make a decent living. That's the reality of Canada. Moreover, don't assume that you can easily move from Canada to the USA; it's quite challenging to do so. Instead, consider the option of moving directly from India to the USA, which is a much more feasible path.\nMy sincere request is this: If you wish to pursue your dreams, seriously consider the USA. If, like me, you want to face the kind of challenging circumstances I've experienced, then you can come to Canada.\nCheers.

This is just my little 2-cent opinion. Feel free to disagree with me or not, I don't care. But all this crap began to escalate since 2007 when smartphones became a thing, and then shifted into a speedrun around 2014 when all this woke social media activism bullshit came along. People stuck in their goddamn phones lost all social ques and etiquette and became more mentally ill. I'm not saying this is the only reason, but it is a large chunk of the problem. \nEdit: and this is not just for Toronto, but all around the world I'm seeing this.

I was born in NYC but moved to Canada over 20 years ago, I now have dual citizenship. In the space of 1 year my retired father had a major stroke and my wife, pregnant with our first child had a full hemorrhage, was rushed to the hospital and gave birth to our premature son who required open heart surgery at 3 months of age. The quality of the health care was top notch, it didn't matter who I was or what I earned, we promptly received the best health care I can imagine. I was maxed out emotionally; I can't imagine worrying if I could afford the monies involved, was it covered under my current health care plan everything was 'just there'. There was no waiting for our legitimate emergencies. I don't know what the math would be on costs but I'm guessing I'd be broke for the rest of my life if this occurred in the States. \nOf course, what countries could afford universal health care except, maybe: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland. Italy, Israel, Greece and 22 other countries. Why is almost every other country paying less for drugs developed by American companies?\nYou pay slightly lower taxes... but what would your income look like if your employer paid you what they are paying for your insurance premiums?\nI'd say the richest country on earth has a little catching up to do...

I'm taken aback by the fact that even though they said they don't like the cold in canada, none said they miss the Nigerian weather

I'm from Edmonton and I definitely agree with her. Racism in Canada is much more worse out here than America cause its hidden.

I'm Canadian and live very close to the border. Like, really really close, in the rural area. I cross all the time to grab things I can save money on. But I wouldn't live in the US for all the money in the world. People I talk to down there are all crazy.

I’m still confused about the copay thing.

Grace ma! I'm on a journey to transitioning from naija to Canada... I'm hopeful it would work out. I just subscribed to your channel by the way

I lived in the US for 30 years. I hated every year, except for having my sons there. My American husband is a staunch NRA supporter. At the 30 year mark, when I gave him an ultimatum. I gave him 30 years down there, and the time had come where he needed to do 30 years in Canada. We've been in Canada for 6 years, and he doesn't ever want to go back.\nI feel for the new mothers, who only get 6 weeks maternity leave (8 weeks for C-Section).\nCanadian Mums get a full year. Nurturing your new baby is necessary for a well-balanced child. You can't bond in 6 weeks. \nYour health insurance is nuts. We paid $1500/mo. just for our family. Then you have a $5k deductible first! Just walking into the ER is $500 and THEN add on labs, x-rays, meds, etc. My son was in mental health treatment and our insurance capped mental health at $25k for life. \nThe biggest slap up my head, was when I found out I CAN'T collect my SSI. I paid a lot of taxes, since we made 6 figures/year. So, now I'm screwed, since they won't pay a former Permanent Resident. Had I been a citizen, I could get it. My husband is a PR in Canada, waiting to take his citizenship test. If he applies for SSI, he needs to go down to the States for 30 days and nights, annually. \nI'm from Toronto, born and raised and I am so happy to have my feet back in my own country. My boys are still there, as well as my grandchildren. Thankfully, they fly up twice a year. You couldn't pay me to move back.

I married my spouse and moved to the United States from Canada. Before, I didn't give the US much thought and merely loved travelling to a few of the locations. Having said that, even after spending five years there, I have never witnessed a country and a population as divided as the US. You proudly display your flag, yet you're so racist, illiterate, and a bible-thumper that it disgusts me. The United States is not the most free country in the world, despite what the public believes and thinks. In reality, it is also depressing to observe how the healthcare system handles people. The social safety net is completely missing, and by that I mean that most jobs don't pay for maternity leaves or vacations unless you work at a senior level or for a high-end company. The political system is so rigged that it is understandable why people are tired of voting every two years, and perhaps even every year. Most certainly, especially since your elections begin almost exactly when the previous one finished. I suppose I could go on forever, but I'll stop here. Although Canada is not perfect, is not free from controversy or problems, and is not the best at everything, we are able to concede defeat, acknowledge that someone was wrong or that we might have done better, work together with one another, and express that we are SORRY. Yes, it is a word that is never used in the US, and that is also the issue. I'm pleased to be back in Canada, where I belong, and I regret ever leaving. Yes, returning to Canada feels peaceful and inviting compared to travelling to the US, where every trip involves an interrogation to ensure that you don't remain too long. There is no need to worry because I won't be returning to stay, only visit, as previously.

I'm a dual citizen, born & raised in Canada; my mom was an American, my dad a Canadian, they met in Detroit. I'm very glad they chose to settle in Canada and raise their children here. (My American mom preferred Canada. She was a stage 3 cancer survivor who outlived all her American relatives and she believed she outlived them because of Canadian healthcare.) Although I'm eligible as a dual citizen, I would never live in the US because of the cost and lack of universal health care and the gun culture in some states. I also dislike the polarization in the USA and worry we be headed the same way. Sadly, many Americans the myth of American exceptionalism.
