When my parents ask me why I’m moving to Canada\n\nMe: Tap Water

At least where I’m at sf it’s more compact but everytime I get out of sf and move to a less compact city it sucks so much. U NEEEEED A CAR coming from a place were no one cars that much about cars to if u wanna get a bag a chips prepare for a 20min drive

Canada taxes n healthcare is ?️! It's cold AF up there 10months out the year. Despite the shit people say, there's DEF racism up there. Only thing I like about parts of Canada are the mixed, beautiful women. O, and it's way cleaner!! Y'all niggas don't even have guns any more, FOH\nTo explain the segregation, remember, America is Old and made up of immigrants that came over the last 2 centuries. When a particular group got here, they moved into where their respective group lived. Some traditions n customs remain.

I was born in Cook County, Illinois. Lived in the burbs for first 8 years of life. Moved out to the country. Just moved to Iowa, this year. When I tell people where I came from, I pretty much say Chicago. Iowa's ok, but to be honest I miss the area I had been working at for like 6-1/2 years. Which was DeKalb. Just something about that area, that I called home.

Wow. This makes me want to move to Canada. How's the weather there? I love places that are cold for most of the year.

In defense of Preach, I lived in the states for most of my life on the east coast. Been through the entire thing multiple times, lived in various areas and recently I moved to cali for 6 months before finally heading overseas to Japan. From my personal experience and even talks with other men who have been to even just only the east and west coast who live in the states; east coast women tend to be “rougher” than west coast women. The femininity thing is one angle sure, I think the New York style of talk is it’s own unique angle. But simply from a look’s perspective you are FAR MORE LIKELY to find attractive women on the west coast then on the east. I think a major contribution to this is the diet unfortunately. The diet on the east coast, the daily selections and just general culture around not eating clean really lends itself here. Many more overweight women on the east coast then the west. Overseas both coasts get blown out the water imho. Again largely due to what I suspect are better eating habits. Also what women wear around here tends to show better. America is really heavy on the yoga pants, buns in hair, etc. I rarely see that around here and if I do….. it’s an American women.

im thinkig about moving to canada because I don't drive I'm car free, can you make a video on the visa process

Person living in South Korea here ??‍♀️and contemplating between moving to either USA or Canada! So this was interesting! I tested the waters and traveled to the USA last year! They both made good points, food isn’t that great but the people are so sweet and inviting. I was scared because of what I usually see on the news but I didn’t experience any of the horrible things I read, but then again I was very cautious.

I completely agree. This is why I moved to Latina America as well. Although safety can be a concern. great video.

I moved from the Bay Area to Montreal and I’m trippin…

Moving my family there when i get to 500k

As a native Buffalonian, I can attest that Canadians are definitely alot friendlier than Americans. That's one thing I missed after moving further south [to escape that lake effect snow].

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.

I am an American born in NY, raised in VA. I also lived in Van Nuys for a year, also lived in Texas before my job industry moved me to Canada. \ni have been in Canada for 7yrs, been to Vancouver, Toronto and MTL and to be honest i like a lot of things in Canada like the health care differences and of course the lower insulin cost for my husband but i still want to go back home. If anything i would stay in Toronto because it's the closest similarity to home but where Aba and Preach live, in Montreal, it's literally been my nightmare. I feel like the tap water at least in my area has gotten worse over time. \nOne thing i feel like they didn't mention that I have to tell people from America to watch out for is the credit card vs debit card thing. \nI grew up only having debit cards because i didn't want to get into debt. when i came to Canada i continued getting a debit card and realized the hard way that not everything accepts debit cards and you NEED to also have a credit card to access certain things.\nbut overall i do feel much safer in Canada even though the crazy trump lovers are showing up here and there it's significantly less than i see when I'm back home.

move back please.

Recently moved to US for career and building a foundation, hoping to move back once I got enough to make it easier back home. Build up down here, settle down up north.

You moved because Canada is superior to the USA. Everyone except Americans agree

My family moved to a suburb of Atlanta 15 years ago from LaSalle, QC. I am happy to be away from the language politics and snow, but the living areas here are so segregated. They call the US a melting pot, but from my perspective the individual parts aren't blending together. I was so used to seeing Italian, African, Irish, Indian, Caribbean, Native, Asian, Middle Eastern, you name it peoples everyday at work, shopping and at the gym. Based on where I live, I really only see African Americans. The funny thing is, if I travel just a few miles in a specific direction, the demographics change dramatically.

How’s New Orleans? I’m moving there in 2025 ?

Married me one of those Montreal ladies. Best move I ever made.

The way things are going here in Canada, I'm moving back to America.

I cried when he talked about Columbus Oh. Reason why it’s because moved here from Chicago and like wtf is this. ??

WOW I’m a dual citizen (born Hamilton living in nyc) and am planning in moving to QC- this is so weirdly timed!!! Salut mes amis, sante!!

Moving to montreal from vermont when I graduate this year

If you've only been to large cities, you haven't seen it all. Living in a town versus a city is so much calmer, safer, and personable. That being said, I would LOVE to move back to Germany. Loved my families time there and so many other places around the world.

Okay I’m moving to Canada lol ?\n\nAnd Hey hey hey , NEW YORk is the land of beautiful people ? so many nations here and mixing here ?\nBrooklyn and queens women are the prettiest ❤

I’m from Miami and moved up to Toronto in 2012. I’ve slowly watched this city decline in every way possible. Gun crime, drugs, prostitution etc. The whole gay and trans movement is outta control too. That being said the violence isn’t even close to what I grew up around back home. There’s a lot of wannabe gangs out here. I used be gang affiliated and I’ve met ALOT of fake thugs out here. Claiming crip and rocking 6 point starts and bloods rocking 5 point starts and so forth. It’s ridiculous. That being said the city and country is going to straight shit

Columbus Ohio ?. yeah I def gotta move LMAOO

Im fine with that notion, it keeps the safe places in America unkown and underpopulated if you dont think they exist, prolly best if people move out instead of raising the property value in places still doing alright.

I chose to raise my kids in Canada in the 90’s and I’m grateful. My Son never had an NBomb thrown at him until he visited the University of Washington campus for a summer course. \n\nI’m from the South (Jim Crow South) and I never felt the absence of racism and hate for Black people until I moved to Canada. Taxes, housing and cost of food is a hurdle however the way of life makes of for it all. Every last bit as a Black man. \n\nAmeriKKKans used Black babies as gator bait. The damage to the society is done and irreparable. Wickkked to the core. \n\nInstead of strengthening the country within; they allow the southern border to be open so more people compete with Black people from establishing stability and progress by in large. Racism is a system. CDNSROCK

Yea you are not wrong. City living is rough out here. I was born and raised in L.A. but moved 2 hours into the desert and it's like a different country. Rent is cheap, people reply back and don't look at you weird when you greet them. L.A. looks great but the social interactions compared to other places aren't.

We don't need more Americans moving here. We don't need anyone moving here, mass immigration is ruining Canada.

I would move to Canada in a heartbeat if I didn't hate the cold.

If Im an East Asian dude that wants to move from my home country to the US or Canada, which areas are the best for dating and why?

I moved to Mexico from san francisco when i was 16 (born and raised in the bay) and came back as an actual adult and I was horrified.

Fun to hear you Talk about the Valley, that's a different world then most of L.A. . I left the Valley and moved to a beach city, the differences even 50 miles makes in Cali alone is wild for how people are.

Canada is in America loool That's like saying I moved from from Europe to Germany lol

Being a SoCal native everything said about it was true. That last point was crazy true too and I experienced that personally too as I am Mexican but I am also Irish and I do not look Mexican at all so I was an outcast with Mexicans and with whites. It was crazy too how you had to grow up knowing things and dangers others didn’t know. I moved to Portland and it opened my eyes to how dangerous my home area was

Glad for this video. I’m from South Africa and I’ve been considering moving to Canada ? informative. Thank you.

Guess I’m moving to Canada

I went to California the first time last November and I never realized how far apart all these places are. If you don’t have a car in California, moving around is a MYTH

i’m moving to canada soon

As someone who lived in every continent except for Africa, I'd never go back to the U.S.A except if I got like a 200k+ salary in NYC or Chicago. Hell, I'd rather move to Mexico again cus of the culture and lifestyle. But Montreal is definitely the only city in Canada where I'd evne consider staying, but it's as always depedant of the salary (Vancouver but only downtown would also be an option).

Aba stop the cap lmao ? You didn’t move from America, we didn’t extend citizenship or residency bruh we let a Canadian chill for a bit ?

I have been thinking of moving to Toronto for some time. I love the diversity, 4 hours from my family, BUT the cold weather is a huge obstacle.

I used to literally cry because my dream was to be an expat outside the US, but ever since 2020 and how other Western countries handled freedom and human rights, I lost the desire to move to Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand or any other Western country that suppresses medical freedom.

I was literally thinking about moving to Canada yesterday

I wanna go to Canada at least for a trip but honestly getting over the fear is hard. I wanna move elsewhere but cost of living here is okay compared to other places. Not to mention getting another job

Move to Alaska:\n+Better tap water\n+No taxes\n+It's basically Canadian Texas (Guns)\n+Government pays you

God damn Aba looking fresh as fuck is the barber the reason you moved.
