Ok I live Canada. HELP HELP GET ME OUT!!!

Canada won't be sorry when you leave. Don't come here!

I live in Canada and it's a strange place. You work so hard and never seem to get ahead. Wages are low and cost of living is really high it's so hard to save and build towards a future. Not to mention the cost of housing is crazy. Two bedroom one story house in Toronto will cost 1.5 million. Cost of living is out of control.

I came to Canada for fresh air only. 23 years has passed very fast. Now I feel Canada is much different from what it was 23 years ago. sad... but it is the world trend.

Back in 2014, I was already seeing Canada becoming increasingly intolerant and Islamophobic, down to governmental level. On the other hand, Muslim communities were supporting Liberals, and I knew this would backfire. It did for me, but now more people are seeing it

People are moving back to India as people say it is easier in India to find out the opposite reasons are prices are too high and costs are unaffordable to maintain. While Canadians here for generations can not afford to live in Canada for 3 generations.

Wise decision. I left Canada with my child.

I went to Canada for a holiday and a rude person abused me because I addressed them as a he and it was a trans. I could not tell as they appeared to be 6'4 solid muscle. They threatened to call the police as it's against the law to use the wrong pronouns. I tried to run away but the person kicked me hard in the groin and I had to pay for expensive surgery.

Yes please leave Canada, U.S. and Europe! Our countries will give you stipends to support your decision.

So if Canada supported hum mus and mosques were blasting the call to prayer 5 times a time across Canadian cities, you would consider staying?

Yes Please Leave Canada, You will not be missed, and take as much family as possible.

Toronto and Vancouver is not Canada! Only a small tiny part of it. \nStop the BS.\nWealth Simple.

Best of luck to you. Sorry to see you leave. Let us know how your life is in your new country. Most of what you say I agree with about the changes in Canada. I worked where the population was over 95% Muslim but never once saw ..... but they were great people.

Come out and join those of us who have decided that the world is bigger than Canada, UK, US etc. Be an Expat teacher like me, or an Expat doctor etc. I have just started chronicling my Expat journey around the world on my channel and it might inspire you.?

I understand why you don't like Canada but your hat is idiotic.

I agree with all your points but also I somewhat think this is a defeatist mentality , I think you should stay regardless I'm an immigrant to Canada and I am staying here till the end. Doesn't mean I won't move around and do projects abroad if I can for business, or for Islam, but I am not leaving definitively because my goal is to take advantage of all the opportunities at my disposal to achieve my goals.

I was born in canada

Palestinians are actively trying to harm the jewish community in Canada. Jews have done nothing to you in Canada, and you are the one complaining? I'm glad you are leaving

I think it's important to mention that we in Canada swings ridiculously left wing. It's important to note the government froze people's banks account during the trucker protest simply because they didn't agree with their viewpoints. It's disgraceful and shows a lack of sever civic integrity. It's also progressive policies in place that have worsened homelessness and drug crisis.

Born and raised in Canada but I'm investigating leaving. An absolute mistake for anyone to move here. If I stay in Canada, I would fully expect to die on a gurney in a hospital hallway. Terrible health service, awful traffic and road rage, ridiculous food costs and restaurant prices, mean rude anti-social people, crappy weather, and bad government. Canada is not close to what it was or hoped it would be.

Don't know about Canada,,,but ur beautiful ❤️

I make more than twice the average annual income in Canada. I still struggle to save despite not spending on nice things or taking vacations. Car Insurance costs are higher than the US. Healthcare situation is horrifyingly bad. Groceries are 15% higher. Childcare costs are higher if you are even lucky to find a spot in one. Cars cost more and so does gas. Taxes are higher than the US while salaries are almost 30% lower. On top of that, you can't really claim a lot of tax credits like in the US for being married or having work related expenses. It's a punishment to live in canada these days. Unless you have inheritance from your parents, forget about ever owning a home in GTA, Ottawa, Vancouver, Montreal. There are other cities in canada too but job prospects for most educated folks are sparse and the weather is worse. Leave Canada if you can.

I’m so glad I came across this video. I will never go to Canada. I didn’t know it’s so rough out there.

I came to Canada for fresh air only. 23 years has passed very fast. Now I feel Canada is much different from what it was 23 years ago. sad... but it is the world trend.

Sorry, I still love Canada, look at what is going on around the world, and quite fine to be here, Most industrialized countries are expensive to live in, no matter where you’re at today, inflation, high accommodation rates, and food increases, are everywhere. Maybe we’re just lucky, but our healthcare around us is quite good, and when I compare to what people pay in the United States for healthcare premiums for average to decent healthcare. It’s a bargain. Never understand people crying about the weather who immigrate here, for Gosh sakes, you moved to a northern climate. What do you expect? Do you really expect the world climate to change for you and to be more like the southern hemisphere country you came from? Weather doesn’t work that way. Why did people leave their original country if they were just so wonderful in the first place? A ton of political instability where they came from and few jobs.

I see some racist comments\nBut here is the thing, why are u mad? Were you ambitious enough to start a business? Work very low paying jobs? Are u hustling? \n\nHow can u be mad at proactive people. Brampton tons of Indians.. ok.. so u have Indians who want to make a good life for themselves and their families? They invested and started businesses bringing money into the city and country?\n\nHow can u complain about them taking ur jobs, when u don’t want those jobs in the first place.. do I want to serve Indian food? Work at an Indian job recruiting office?\n\nI’m sorry.. but I really hate seeing blind racism assuming everyone is a freeloader. Starting business in Canada is beyond expensive. Don’t be mad that people are willing to grind.\n\nYou be busy putting up rainbow flags and yelling at each other about pronouns, vs others keep their head down and work hard open businesses and just hustle.

Mexico is getting a lot people from US and Canada is just insane.

I'm a 70-year-old Canadian man, Born and raised in Vancouver BC and back living here now...I'm happy being a Canadian and Just wondering why all these snivelling, complaining people who hate my country don't just pack up and go live in another country..The population of Greater Vancouver has probably increased by 500% in the last 30 years even though it's one of the most expensive cities in Canada. A lot of the ruSSian bot farmers are commenting and liking the BS comments on this thread..I love Canada, My dad served in our RCN during WW2 Helping to preserve our freedom and way of life ...All you Haters please leave Canada and don't come back....

Smfh black folk love feeling sorry for themselves, even in Canada, were a crazy race , i love being black in America, i dont let the media tell me how to feel!

Canada is a scam the biggest scam of the century. All these states created recently have an enterprise status rather than an actual country

Born and raised in Canada. in my 50s and cant take it anymore. 2 years to my retirement and then I am moving away. I'm in Montreal and its negative 5 today. Basically from November to April the weather is sh@t. Taxes are very high, healthcare is garbage now, housing prices and rents are crazy expensive.

60 y.o. born and raised in Canada. My wife and I left to live in Turkey to retire becausr we would have been living in poverty. If you don't have a unionized job or government job in Canada, your life will end up in a dead end like ours did. If you are afraid of the future in Canada's dying economy, it may be time to look elsewhere.

Salaam everyone, I just wanna say, I know 15 family muslims and not muslims who's living canada in just last 2023

Who are the idiots controlling immigration into Canada? Not the general Canadian public for sure. The fascist corporations want to lower the standard of living around the world to condition the slaves into living with less. Once this is set in place we'll be even easier to control. F**k the global corporate and the WEF.

I’m a Canadian born Punjabi Sikh - lived in Dubai and india and Canada and UK. Your making a good decision. But your gonna fall into same issue as me and just do it - come back to make dollars and return to the new country. Dollars rule.

Where are going, after leaving Canada?

Just the view of a tourist: we traveled through Canada twice in the last two years. Calgary was definitely worse than Toronto with all its drug-zombies and yelling homeless people on the streets and in the tram. It was disgusting and we really fled out of the city. \nVancouver has also those issues but it seems it's concentrated in the Hasting Street. Beside this it felt like the safest and prettiest City of Canada.

If you immigrate to Canada, you might wanna start picking a area or city that isn’t the most expensive ones in the nation, what would you expect, many of us fellow Canadians would never even dream of moving to Toronto in the first place. Yet immigrants for some strange reason expect to move to the largest areas and by far the most expensive and have a wonderful life there. Life doesn’t work that way Unfortunately.

which place do you recommand to live in canada ? (Alberta ?)

alhamdulillah. yes we have lost canada to the lgbt movement and i thought of leaving also. but i also think its good to stay and show people we still here that think differently. may allah guide and bless you.

??\nAs a Canadian I don't blame anyone leaving Canada .\nIT'S BROKEN ! \n2024 big Tax Year coming !\nWas a great Country years ago \nNow 3rd World ! \nNo Doctors, nurses, police, etc etc \nBUT MUCH Drugs ! Gangs ! Homelessness ! GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION ! !!!!!!!!

Because Canada became clown country.

I often visit Western Canada but not the large cities. Canadians I've meet there are very proud of their Country and neighbors and happy with their life. I hope they wake up to the fact that uncontrolled immigration will distroy any country.

Was once proud of Canada. It isn’t Canada anymore it’s a disaster with zero morals at any level

Canada sucks and the government is xenophobic! Waste of time, money and energy.

I am in Canada since 19 years ago , i am leaving definitively Canada in 2024

US rejected me twice, Canada rejected my Study Visa but it approved my Visit Visa just after a year..So dont give up even if you have been denied before.._

Now I am really second guessing moving to Canada...

Sad to hear that but not surprised. Canada had too many over qualified immigrants and not enough good jobs.

You forgot about the MOST IMPORTANT REASON. Canada is a Woke authoritarian state. The bureaucrats CONTROL EVERYTHING.
