As a naturalized Canada that moved to Japan as of last year, you're completely on point with all of your reasons. I hope that more Canadians, old & new, realize that they can and should use their resources to secure themselves as good of a life as they can, even if that means leaving.

The same thing is happening in Australia. Bring in hundreds of thousands of immigrants, don't built enough houses and then wonder why our young people are being forced out of the housing market. Our health care system is becoming overwhelmed. I believe that Australia and Canada are now in a massive Ponzi scheme and it'll end in tears.

Americans understand that Canada has a SANE healthcare system, as opposed to the United States system, which is strictly profit-driven. Those who live in Canada and the UK should count their blessings. I'm sure it is more expensive there but it may be worth it.

Canada is fckdup with immigrants...its as good as Afganistan ?????????

Dont come to canada really it sucks life sucks never consider moving in canada

India standard of living is not comparable to Canada

Enough is enough no more BBA diplomas... General 2 year diplomas.. Canada needs talent not broken punjabi English. Better have done your homework Canada doesnot have to find a canadian solution when we need housing for Canadians. Have a good one..\n One what? Always got time for Punjabi Hortons.

Who in their right mind wants to live in Canada????????????????????????

With all of these people who have commented about leaving Canada, hopefully, there'll be a lot more housing available for all the people who want to move here.

Canada was conceived by the British. They wanted to stop the Americans from taking over their holdings. Canada does not work geographically, politically or economically any longer, it never really did. Just look at the history of the west, Louis Riel, Quebec's submission, maritime poverty, etc. This 19th century British Imperialist experiment has failed. The Federal government is taxing and mishandling the billions of dollars it hoards. It doesn't seem to matter what party is in Ottawa, they all stay up late at night dreaming up ways to screw over the Canadian citizens.Housing? Why do people get shoved into these expensive and ugly mansions? What family needs more than 1800 sq. ft.?

The corporations have been running this countrty for decades;both the two main political parties are in their pocketbooks yet the people think there will be change at election time.Nothing ever changes after the election except a few names.Divide and conquer is working very well in Canada!

My family moved to Canada over 20 years ago... I ended off moving away in 2016. \n\nMy wife and I recently moved back to Canada 2 years ago to give it another chance and... Well... I doubt we'll stay.

Honestly it sucks for Canada.. I mean this country has probably everything any country could wish for. From surface to ressources to access on both side to the two main oceans, having a border with the first world power (it can be a problem but a good thing as well) and while climate isn't always the best, it should he a paradise living there.\nAs a French with what I believe is the best and most generous medical service in the world, to think that Canada spends MORE than us and have it a lot worse is crazy.. How did they manage that? France isn't renown for its efficiency..\n\nOne thing not mentioned though in the video which I find even worse than all of that, is how Canada slowly slipped down in freedom status.. More than any other country!\nCanada lost 6 spots in a single year in the human freedom index and got kicked out of the top 10 to land at the 13th spot.. At this rate they'll be out of top 20 in the 2023 report..\nAnd we all know you can easily lose freedom, but regaining any of it is close to impossible.\nGood luck Canada and Australia, you guys are in the same boat at this point

Dictator Trudeau destroyed Canada with illegal immigration and ridiculous climate change lies and carbon taxes.

I am Canadian and left in 2003 to learn Chinese. I now work in Asia and best decision I ever made. I now go back ever summer to see family. Canada is a-have-not economy compared to the rest of the world.

As a Canadian i decided to leave Canada because of the crappy government.

The dirty secret is that it's overpopulation that causes these problems. UN predicts 10 billion by 2050 a 25% increase from current 8 billion. That extra population is from high fertility countries that can't support the population they have right now let alone 20 years time, so these people have to migrate. However bad you think it is in Canada, or wherever, right now it's going to get much, much worse in the coming decades.

Born in Canada, I left Canada 10 years ago for SE Asia. Canadian Salary was good but after Tax and poor exchange rate, Purchasing power is no good, Work life balance feels like slavary. Weather is harsh. I wouldn't want my kids exposed to the school and social system. \n\nSocial justice and westeren guilt has gone wild.\n\nAlot of people seemed unhappy.\n\nMarriage laws made me SWARE to stay single / Marry abroad.\n\nThere are however plenty of good things about Canada too of course.\n\nI may return if we get a sensable goverment someday.

Sell your house, leave Canada, the your worldwide income will not apply. Buy you can still maintain your Canadian citizenship.

the price of housing is off the roof because everyone wants/need to move to cities and developers don't wanna build average housing because communist governments like Canada's make it expensive to start any business, so if they are going to build new homes they are going to be luxury homes because rich people don't complain about prices. Another reason is immigration, more people means more demand.

This is a great example of people without pride for their nation. This woman is not Canadian so of course she’s leaving Canada. I also notice most of these people are people without children. \n\nYou talk about Canada like it’s a state in a nation. Have respect for that great country and leave without trying to badmouth it. They took you in and you make videos like this to thank them. Get gone ?

People who *come to Canada* now are misguided, mislead, misinformed and mostly miserable!

The green is not greener in this side. I would not even consider as a foreigner to come ro canada. Our gov't is no longer democratic.

This is so sad: as a teenager, Canada seemed like the perfect country to me!?

I’m an immigrant of two years from the UK. I have to say at the time of moving due to Covid everything was expensive throughout the world and there was uncertainty in most things. Myself and my wife now have our own businesses as we found that the system here does not favour immigrants in getting the jobs Canada claims it needs to fill. The reality is the government and unions don’t want educated people to fill mid to high paying jobs and it’s impossible to get jobs in teaching, nursing, doctors etc if you are not educated here. The government wants immigrants to populate and work the low paid jobs even if they have a bachelor, mba or phd.

Low wages… high bills… high debt… high taxes…. No thanks…. I loved Canada but Can’t stand living here anymore. I’m so disillusioned…

Unfortunately I believe your summary of Canada is spot on. Canadian retiree here trying to survive.

My grandparents and aunt are Canadian. Canada made the same mistake we did in the US. Yes life was good but the wealth was a delicate balance. Once we opened the doors to the world, we found that ecosystem more delicate than we knew, which makes the Western world even more of a cultural miracle than we realized, given the degree of freedom we enjoy. No wonder the not-west thought that our societies were disasters in the making and not capable of coherent opinion or defense.

You did the best to move back to India!!\n\nI will never go back! \n\nI love Canada

Canada should take back justin bieber.

I have a friend with 2 jobs that could have a net pay of 6digits but unable to buy a house in Canada. And is now gonna migrate to the US.

Canada uses Newcomers to pay pensions of old Europeans through tax

Canada has turned into a giant ponzi scheme

Canada is love.. it might be going through a tough time but hey, if you love Canada, you would not start shitting on it the moment there is a difficulty. Lets not diss the beautiful Canada which accepted us with open arms when we needed it and remain faithful and loyal and contribute in nation building of this majestic land. Peace

I lived in Canada for 6 years and returned to India, trust me it's not a heaven. There is lot of struggle

NOT ONLY IN CANADA.. ITS everywhere..

Canada isn't a great country.

Your explanation of the current situation in Canada is quite appreciative. Thanks!

Am I lucky ? I allways wanted to live in Canada but it didnot happen. Somehow I never applied to live in Canada, I am happy in Europe and South America. I love to come to Canada and many other places in the world as a tourist.

good analysis. After living in Canada for 18 years, I want to move out of Canada and retire somewhere else . I don't like the weather, high taxes, and woke/liberal culture. People are also more down to earth and friendly in Asia/Mexico

As a Canadian, I would not move to the states. But that being said I would love to spend a lot more time visiting state side. My GF is a US citizen but she want to move here to Canada while her children want to stay state side.

This reporter who's talking about filling labours needs, don't believe him, there're no jobs in Canada, if there's a need and no enough workers pay rate should go up, actually salaries are going down, so what these reporters parrot don't make sense.

How can i get job in canada

Canada's cold and depressing why would you move there?

Thanks the video was realistic and relaxed.\nI’m worried about the future in Canada ??

Very good video and everything you said is absolute truth. This is exactly what my daughter says about Canada ?

Canada was the best country in the world 15 years ago, the mass immigration and progressive globalization that made it go downhill rapidly.

Genuine question for people who leave Canada, where do they go? I'm from Belgium, living in the UK and considering actually moving to Canada because I don't see myself living in Europe anymore... For some reason, I thought the general lifestyle in Canada was better than Belgium and the UK but after watching this video, it seems not to be the case :/

these were all city cost examples -- Canada is more diverse than just living in citys

Oh the f'ing irony of the dreaming immigrant and the current state of Canada.
