I'll bet that the few Americans moving to Canada end up coming back to the good old USA.

From America to Canada? Canada is part of America. You mean the US. Words matter

i wish I can leave Canada. I really don't like it and depresses me to no end. I have been here for over 15 yrs

Brother I am an engineering student. I want to go to Canada for job. How to live please brother give some idea.

The main attraction to students of India in Canada: Money, odd jobs & making curry.

This is such a heartfelt and honest video. Good job man! But I would expect immigrants from the UK or Asia in Australia to strongly defend their choice ? Weather-wise, Australia beats Canada — maternity leave-wise, Canada beats Australia hands down. Australia is pretty isolated compared to Canada …mostly because Canada is next to the USA. Australia is overpriced in terms of groceries etc. and the extreme weather in Canada makes life expensive. Many Canadians move to the US for a reason. Australia is terrible with family reunions and visas for parents etc. There is a reason over 1 million Aussies prefer to live and work elsewhere — including myself — I was fortunate enough to get my PR in the US.

Ok thats all nice and good, but you talk like Canada is synonymous with Vancouver. Canada is NOT Vancouver, we all know that Vancouver is a shit hole, but ever even been in Canada outside of Vancouver? To be fair though, yes, Canada as a whole, not just Vancouver, is becoming a narcissistic woke authoritarian society. Vancouver is isolated yes but isolated from languages other than English? Vancouver is like half Asian immigrants lol, tons of languages just in Vancouver itself lol

That's so funny and true at the same time. Sadly, I was born in the falsely advertised 'Best place on Earth, 'Canada' and therefore, cannot claim asylum in any other country, so I will pass away alone in hospice with 5 other dying strangers. Luckily, I moved away just in time through the UK ancestry scheme and live my dreams with my partner I met in a home we bought in a city where I don't have to look at the price tags as I know it's already 6x cheaper than Canada! However, there's a catch in that you can only go back as far as your grandparents to use the Ancestry Escape Pod, so if your grandparents were born in Canada I wish you all the luck and who knows, maybe you'll eventually merge with the USA and freedom and happiness is yours. Life is better on the outside. I moved 15yrs ago and never look back. I calculated a week to visit my siblings in Canada costs the same as 6 months worth of mortgage payments (my share).

How long hv you lived in canada?

I feel like there's a certain segment of people in each country who grow disillusioned with their home country and want to move. I've never been to Canada, nor do I know anyone who lives there. Would I move there? I don't know maybe. Every country has good and bad things. Though the US where I am from is very segmented in it of itself with good things and bad things

I’m from Canada. A ethnic Canadian even though I’m denied that concept. Canada is not Canada anymore

Not sure I agree with Quebec being no 1. Being born and raised in that province, and able to speak French fluently. I had no problem moving to Ontario. Quebec is for sure a beautiful province, but that said, has the worst health care system, the political structure is definitely anti English. Any immigrant must go to French school, unless you pay privately. Taxes are the highest in the all of Canada, and you get very little in return. Personally, I would creep over the border into Ontario, and if you are working in a Quebec, pay a hell of a lot less in taxes, have a more liberal education system, both in English or French, and healthcare is much more accesible.

Canada is the Water Nation <3

Za female ym za Canada ta apply kol ghwarm job dpara

I agree, I was born and raised here, unless you speak the language, have a good education, its puts you behind the 8 ball if you want to stay here. Why? Because the cost of living is too high, Why? Because our gov. let foreign powers come into out country and flip our real estate to make fast profits and that drives up the rents and costs of housing to the point that you cannot afford to live here, period. The only way that you can do it is to team up with other families and all live in the same place and slowly build up your education, job skills and income to a point where you can afford to live and get a place of your own, thats the way they did it in my parents time and it seemed to work, but when you have a gov. that all they can think about is their climate control BS and to raise the carbon taxes, interest rates causing inflation, causing prices to go up on everything it becomes a losing battle. So unless you are prepared to work two or three jobs, don't even think about it, because now its next to impossible to do unless you have someone supporting you on your climb to the top. In Canada we need health care workers and that could be nurses, doctors, health care aids, psw's, dsw's and physiotherapists, in some provinces they give free courses to get these jobs and you end up getting good wages like min. 25.00 per hour to start and all the hours you can handle, that means if you work 60 hours a week, you make 1500 a week, now that you can survive on, I know this for a fact because a friend of mine just went through the course and now she is set for life, that was a PSW course, its all up to you, if you want it bad enough, you can have it all. Welcome to Canada.

When moving to Canada, you also need to adapt yourself and change your habits. I'm an immigrant myself and I dislike when other immigrants compare everything to their life before, they live in the past and try to export their old life in Canada. Big mistake

Sadly said CANADA is a huge mess and no longer ranked as a favorable country to live in, let alone a favorite a province. I would now call Alberta #1

speaking of Canada did you know that the national sport of Canada ISENT HOCKEY? ITS ####ING LACROSSE

Canada has gotten so bad Africans are leaving. Lmao. I hate this country.

Montreal rents in pretty good and in Quebec in general. Ontario is a fair bit more expensive. However even Ontario rents aren't that bad compared big US cities. Where Canada is really expensive is the cost of *owning* housing. I also don't really agree about food being more expensive in the US, I'd say it's pretty close, maybe even slightly cheaper in the US.\n\nAnd I don't think Columbus, OH would be that bad to live in. Sure, it doesn't have the big city life like Montreal or Toronto or even Vancouver, but it's probably on par with Edmonton, Winnipeg or London, ON or Kitchener-Waterloo? Maybe even like Ottawa, Hamilton or Calgary? (but warmer than all of the above).

Religion , Canada is Christian. Politics , only the mentally ill are liberal. Race , go home.

Lived in Edmonton, Canada for 18 years and it ain't anything at all like you guys described Monetreal ??

You guys talk as if GTA is not part of Canada. Or you are not mentioning the cost of living in Vancouver...

NY has the best tap water ever. And if you want to eat junk only in the US then that's you. We have some of the best food in the world. The best restaurants (not fast food chains) in the world.\n\nFYI I go to Canada at least every year and travel to other countries and states often

Isn’t your healthcare better in Canada? Cause in the states it’s terrible.

Sorry Aba Canada sucks ass you know it does lol

How you compare a country of 30 million to a country of 400 million? Seriously. Canada don’t have the infrastructural planning and structure of the US. And Major Canadian cities are on US borders !

Y'all have more fresh water then we do here. Start selling Canada bottle water ?

Canada is fucked up.. i'm good lol. I'd pick gang violence and the left over canada any day.. Justin is as simp as it gets..

I thought you'd forget about integration, but you covered it at the end there. This is one of the main reasons why I moved from Europe to Canada. Obviously, I can't speak for the whole country but my impression is that Canada is less segregated than a lot of other countries.

America is still probably the best place in the world to make money even without an education n why so many people want to go - unfortunately due to woke culture even the nicest places in Europe (n Canada) are no longer safe which is why I'll never leave Texas n give up my guns - when I get old n retire I'll do so in a holy place in India however

couple notes from an American perspective: canadians aren’t as polite and nice as the stereotypes. folks in montreal really think they in europe and not canada. canadian cities are diverse but there’s a “dryness” in the culture and atmosphere. canada is safer but also boring compared to the states

Canada might be bigger, but 90% of the population lives in a line close to the southern border. The rest is mostly undeveloped nature. But yeah, 10x more people will account for more of the danger associated with density

I guess this kind of goes with the whole everything being incredibly spread out, but public transit in most major cities in Canada is far more reliable than in the US.

California is like a shitty Canada with better weather.

When I hear, “the worse parts of Canada are the best parts of America” it says ALOT. Safety is my biggest thing when it comes to where I live.

I lived in Canada for 20 years now and recently I went to NY city to explore and watch a ball game. The biggest difference I noticed is how huge the food portions are! Like a small pop drink in NY is equivalent to a large pop drink in Canada lol. Also I remember trying to get a medium sized pizza, and then finding out there’s only 1 size and it’s enormous, by far bigger than any sized pizza I’ve seen ?

Canada is the Slovenia of North America. The border between civilization and the wilderness beneath it.

Canada runs on either Air Canada or Westjet and that's a whole other conversation

Aba nailed the point about LA being racially segregated. Absolutely correct. One thing the US has over Canada is the 2a. That’s proving to be more important than people want to give credit for.

Crime is lower in Canada? Blacks also only account for 3.5% of the population. But I’m sure that has nothing to do with it..

Because there's hardly any black people in Canada crime is so low

I agree with your takes if you're coming to the U.S to visit. To settle down and stay long term you have to find a nice suburb. You'll have everything you need. Safety (plus you can own a gun) Green fields and parks, mix of Big restaurant & mall family restaurants. Cost of living is more manageable, specially if you have a remote job like I do. Then again, I come from Mexico and have only seen Niagra falls from Canada soo.. ?

Canada will offer to kill you if you need a surgery and their prime minister wears black face

All the pros you mentioned for Canada used to be true of America not even that long ago 80s/90s some cities like San Francisco were considered safe and super clean places imagine that ?

2:03 bro stop the cap. The population of all of Canada is 38.5 million people the United States has 331.9 million people \nBruh New York City has a population of 8.5 million people. Canada has the population of 10x LA come on now seriously ???

Sorry but Canada has Criminalized thought so you will never convince me that Canada is better, also what happened to the Truckers in Canada... No US>Canada.

Y’all better be safe ? because this remembers me of when top G hyped up romenia and they came for him ?? y’all hyping canada But it’s all love

I would go to Canada but I heard majority or lot more ppl speak a different language there (can't remember what the language their)

Canada is a biofascist medical state now and you have no freedom. \n\nThe PM has ruined the country for most.\n\nI’ll take my chances in a free state in America like MT or FL.
