I'm traveling to Tanzania in the summer. As a U.S. citizen, I'm looking forward to the openness of community and culture. I moved from a southern rural town to the country's capital Washington, D.C. I miss the kids playing basketball in the street, the block parties, the neighbors sitting on the porch, drinking beers outside. Here in the city, there's none of that. I've lived in my apartment for years and rarely if ever see my neighbors.

How about living in Europe? Does anyone have the experience to share? This video makes me contemplate my plan to study and live in Europe ?. I'm from Asia and no doubt life in Asia is full of color.

I'm American, and left the U.S. over 20 years ago and moved to southeast Asia where I'm much happier. Most Americans don't even know their neighbors, are slaves to a job they hate, and are brainwashed to worship money as the most important thing in life, by far. Add to that a massively corrupt political system and a propaganda media that constantly spews lies to the public - it's just an insane way to live.

As an American over 50, I remember being able to play out in the street when I was a kid, but because of the rising crime and evil in this country, everyone fears going out of their house. I always wonder why foreigners want to come to the US. It’s horrible here. A lot of Americans are looking to leave their home country. If you want a house and good money, you will be an underpaid slave to your job, and you will have to keep working harder and harder just to maintain what you have. I live completely alone now. No friends and no family. So, I keep dreaming of escaping this hellhole they call the American dream. They can have it, cause I’m done.

I'm a homebody too but I hate american and Canadian indoor culture! It's not a culture of trust!

I'm different . I like the life in US and Canada. I like western culture and its individual nature. I love family and friends too but I also like my space. I like the quietness and indoor life.

Love watching you guys! I live in Maryland USA and as a young Latina woman I have been followed in stores. I’m light skin, dark brown hair and I hate to feel like I’m doing something wrong. I hope this world is a little better when my daughter is older.

I stay in dubai I'm working with Amazon as a warehouse associate how can i migrate to canada

I'm leaving back to Europe...Canada is done. EXPENSIVE and nothing to offer a Entrepreneur or high producers.

Omg! That's exactly the lifestyle I like. I'm an introvert and apart from going to work or church or market, I usually stay indoor. Here in Cameroon, people look at me as a strange person.

I'm Canadian and I love my peace and quiet. \nIn most countries, where people are crawling over eachother this kind of life style is a luxury.

13. Iqaluit (not sure if I'm spelling this right. cold and expensive, whale blubber anyone?)\n12. Northwest Territories (just waaay too cold, wasteland)\n11. Yukon (too cold, least it's near alaska? )\n10. Saskatchewan (farmer/hick central)\n9. Manitoba (murder capital, too cold, not near anything...)\n8. New Brunswick (nothing there...some nice areas)\n7. Newfoundland (Waaaay out there, but friendly, talk funny, club a baby seal anyone?)\n6. Ontario (too expensive, America Jr., Toronto not that safe anymore, too many chinese..fake people)\n5. Alberta (beautiful, but too many cowboys/crackers, tar sands also terrible)\n4. Quebec (great culture and food, can be unfriendly towards outsiders)\n3. BC (forest fires, drugs everywhere, but very beautiful, too many chinese)\n2. Nova Scotia (beautiful, cool culture, not too expensive)\n1. Prince Edward Island (beautiful, scenic, picturesque, affordable, friendly)\n\n- from a Canadian expat in China

I'm from a crowded place so I will enjoy this kind of atmosphere

Hi, I've been following you on youtube for a while. \nI'm an architect from India with 3 years of experience. I'm looking for a job in the field of architecture globally. I'm ready to move to any location. \nBut I see that it's easier to get a job if an educational course is done from their country. \nBut i dont want to invest in masters degree as of now, and want to work and earn abroad. Please suggest the easiest & fastest way possible.\n\nAlso, is it possible to connect with you over mail or something?

So what are employees supposed to do, ? avoid them ? And then they would say ,nobody would help me because I'm black. I mean what the heck.

In case I get to go to Canada, I'm fine with these kind surroundings. The place I live now is also a quiet area.

7:20 with all due respect, I can't help but witness cultural superiority when I visit places like Bampton, Mississauga and Scarborough (unfortunately and gradually more and more of Toronto and GTA)! Don't get me even started on Toronto-Dubai flights! I'm not racist, but when I travel/immigrate/visit somewhere, I respect the host's culture and manners and try to mirror them as much as I can. I'd call myself rude too if I don't!

Hlw...Sir, i have a little confusion.

I'm 100 percent in favor of bringing in Ukraine citizens to Canada because we are a Christian country and welcome anyone who is from a Christian country.

I’m an American from the West Coast of the US and I think y’all live in a beautiful country. All of your ten provinces and three territories have a beauty that is specific to each area.

I'm from Ontario but live in Quebec for most of my life. I wonder where you got the cheap rents in Montreal, I always hear about how expensive the apartments are over there.

No way I'm going to kabec again awful awful awful

I'm partly an introvert, but I'll need to talk to other people

I’m from Manitoba and honestly some of these facts I never knew like almost everybody I’ve ever meet are really happy and a lot of people I know have great grandparents who lived to 100 even my own though a lot of it’s true like the cold and mosquitoes but they’re not bad every year just to know.

I would dispute the cost of living argument putting Quebec at #1. I'm from there, and in Quebec, you have extremely high tax rates, almost no social services (since the health care system started imploding in the 90s and has the only such system in Canada that is almost completely non-transportable across provinces as Quebec refuses to pay anyone else or delays payment for so long, other provinces give up). Daycare workers don't even make minimum wage, the education system is heavily politicized and extremely poor (far too many teachers who couldn't care less about their students and do little work), rents are quite high in most cities, especially when you couple them with the high tax rates and the infrastructure is among the worst in North America. There are good points about Quebec, but I put it about on par with Montana or Alabama for what it offers the population, compared to costs. And then there's the wonderfully racist and nationalist government that feels it's a crime to wear a scarf.

I'm from Canada I do not agree

Hi I am currently remotely working for a firm in Canada. They have already got an LMIA and shared it with me. Their lawyers are currently filing for a work permit.

Shoppers always ask me if I'm ok as soon as I enter the store where the fragrance is.

Any idea how long it takes nowadays (with covid) for they to send you an application number after you send your PR application? They sent me a temporary number like 2 months ago, but I'm still waiting for the real one.

I’m from Ontario, but I’ve been working outside of the country for over 4 years now. If I ever move to a different province, my top choices would be Alberta and British Columbia. Other possibilities would be Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and Quebec.

I've been obsessed with Quebec lately, I seriously wanna live in there. I'm so happy it's the best place to live in. In terms of French, I'm willing to take a language course because it's just too pretty to not be spoken ♥

Yes we are. We went to a thrift store where they insisted they take my moms bag and put it behind the counter. They didn't say anything about my much bigger bag. My mom is brown, I'm fairly light skinned.. as a kid I witnessed a driver telling her and my sister who is also dark skinned that there is no more room on the bus (when Cleary there was) I went to get off and he saw I was with them and he let them on. If I hadn't witnessed it myself I wouldn't have believed it. What's worse was this driver was also brown. I've seen this from people who have grown up here or lived here longer who believe they have more rights than newly arrived people or those with stronger accents.\nI'm lucky I have a group of very welcoming people around me, but I've seen it with bfs and new friends who haven't grown up here and how horrible some people are.\nWorse when you're in your home country and being cast out when this is your home. (Sadly my birth country is no different)
