Life has to be rock bottom to leave a country that’s 80 and sunny year round to a country that gets -50 in the winter and lots of snow and cloudy days

I mean I get it, they’re leaving a shit hole country

I'm glad they are leaving us for Canada.

Lol usa is still better than canada, many my countrymen leaving canada and go to us or australia

As long as They leave Mexico, I am happy.

Stay in Australia \nAs a canadian I am leaving canada

Bieber is not ever human, leave Canadian

So I cannot go to the US on vacation and leave my money there, since I am not vaccinated, but thousands of people can simply go like this cross the Mexican border illegally? It's a smart move America!

Biden screwing up so bad that now the illegals are leaving us for Canada? If he keeps it up maybe they will just stay in Mexico

Cowards leave

I'll never leave my country like that I was born here I will die here rich or poor, in my country I can drink water from any river eat fruits from the trees cant do that in us or Canada.

While immigrants are coming into a country that is poorly managed by a government us citizens are trying to leave and go to Mexico or Cuba away from it…

People just want a better life. Leave them alone!

I’m sorry but they need to leave! I can’t afford to pay anymore taxes!

Why are there leaving the USA for Canada ???

Some negative things about Canada which forces immigrants to leave Canada \n1) lack of corporate jobs \n2) harsh weather \n3) poor and complicated health care system \n4) high cost of living \n5) exorbitantly high housing prices .\n6) high taxes

Hahahaha. They want to leave the greatest country in the world, America???? Hahahaha. Let them then. It’s technically their loss. America is free.

I don’t understand. Why are people leaving the US? Is Canada even safer or better?

What the heck is going on? In the last few days there's been news of migrants leaving Canada to come to the US, and now the opposite. I'm willing to bet this is economy related. Migrants, I suggest you just go home or whereever the nearest land is that actually fits your traditions and values. As the economy gets closer to collapse, you're going to wish you had anyways. Once it fully crashes, you're going to discover that all that philanthropy is going to drop and each country is only going to be able to look after it's own citizens. If even that.

Haha, you gotta see the swiss - they sell themselves as the paradise on earth and everyone who works there will tell you the truth - it has nothing to do with paradise...\nChauvinistic country with extremely high staff turnover rates due to bad working conditions and if you have to use some social welfare - your residence permit / visa gets cancelled, so you have to leave.

It is funny in a way that those people are leaving their homes for a better life in the US. Kind of ironic. Their country is so bad and go to the US border and get treated so humanely and with all the kindness they can muster. Only the few can make the trip to the Canadian border. And their first experience is what the US is known for, Racism.

meanwhile Canadians could leave the country

We don't mind taking in foreigners from places like Switzerland, America, Germany, Sweden, Iceland, Finland, Ireland, Scotland but we draw the line there and if you're 3rd world bucket sludge don't even think of coming here. Everyone is leaving Canada due to the garbage coming to or infesting our country. I have spoken. For the record my great grandparents on both sides of my family were born in Canada in the 1850's and 1860's. I am also a 6 time world pinball champion yet few ask for my autograph anymore?

You go back to france leave Canada

You feel for them but everybody got their own country so no-win situation type of thing everybody leaving their own country God help us.

So mexicans are leaving America and going to Canada now?? ?

?worked in CDN 47 years. Retired now no family Dr. Gov't here sucks up to all groups but me. Taxed high all my life, except in military(very low pay). 400,000 foreigners per year into country. Why??? To keep working peoples wages low. So called professional groups keep outsiders out. So they have to compete with people like me to keep wages low again. Trudeau wants our living standard on par with Africa. I'd leave if possible.?

Why are the Mexicans leaving Canada for the US, when everyone else it seems is going the other way?

Of the democrat presidential candidates, those who are not Methuselahs are full-blown morons or towering mediocrities, and some are all three. Joe is teetering, and every time Kamala sees Joe is going on a trip, literally, where he has to climb steps into Air Force 1, she hustles down to the Oval Office and starts measuring the drapes. No one wishes ill on the President, except all the democrat contenders in secret. He just keeps going and going, incoherently and corruptly, but he refuses to stop and you know his wife, whose doctorate you should take very seriously because it is super impressive according to her, will Weekend at Bernie’s her desiccated husk of a hubby through Inauguration Day 2029 if she has to to stay parked at 1600 PA.\n\nIt's got to be frustrating for Kamala, who knows that her path to the presidency lies through a cruel twist of fate. But gay Pete Buttigieg is there too, circling, calculating, unaccountable, hoping to take a shot if the path gets cleared by destiny. And then there’s Gavin Newsom, who hopes to spread California’s promise of a hobo squatting on every porch to all of America. Hillary, who is turning 137, might get in – I hear it’s her turn. And people worry about Michelle being unbeatable if she decides to leave her shorefront, climate change-defying mansion to run, and that concern is proof that Americans have lost their faith in their fellow Americans.\n\nAnd we should lose our faith in our fellow Americans because there are a substantial number of them who will vote for any mutant, commie, weirdo, or clinical imbecile with a (D) after his/her/their/xir name. They elected John Fetterman knowing he was a barely cognizant ogre and then were stunned that he stopped doing the senator thing about a month in exactly as they were warned. But hey, he was open to killing babies and that’s what mattered !@!@!

Canada has been the good neighbor to the US for since the border was erected, rather than penalizing the people crossing from countries that are dictated to, perhaps they could help our drug addicts, our over worked parents, help our over worked nurses and doctors, if we can't fix other countries best we can do is help who wants to leave them for improved lifestyle choices.

Leave them alone and mind your business if they come here people here want to kill them and take their kids.

This is terrible. Why can’t our government simply hire more people to process migrant applications? And why can’t the US do a better job of pushing back on dictators that ruin their own countries, like Venezuela? Or provide processing stations in other states and encourage migrants to travel their, or provide transport? I doubt that most people want to leave their own country if it was safe for them and their children. Surely better minds than Mine could find humane solutions. Maybe fast tracks no migrants with established relatives already in the US? Or migrants with skills (not necessarily money) but skills?

Perhaps we should address our policies about Venezuela and this crap would stop. We economically strangle their nation and then don't get why they want to leave.

How about this one I was born and raised in Canada I’m 80 years old and have no family Dr I tried for years to get one I finally got one when I ended up in hospital and a kind nurse got me one who went on maternity leave and didn’t come back I asked if someone else could take me I was told no and yet they were new doctors they I came to the conclusion I was the wrong colour for the place !!! I’m white I guess I will have to get me one of those race card that are played by so many in this once great country Canada !!!! Just Saying

I am born Canadadian and left Canada with my parents as a small child. My whole life I dreamed about returning to Canada. In 2014 I finally did it and returned to Vancouver, BC, After 8 years and spending $200,000+ on rent I decided to leave. Now I live and vlog from Mexico. Always warm, cheap rent, life is great.

I'm considering leaving Canada in 2027 and moving to an African country.

Great video very in point with Why people leave.

All the black Africans leave there country saying they are not happy, come to us in the north who are suffering more then they are because of our limited resources, then cal us racist because we don’t have THE ability to hold millions of illegal immigrants.

Not gonna lie - all these things are true. However, you would be hard put to find a better place to live in today's world. America is not better (in fact, it can be way worse). Many European cities/countries are not better. Life in certain other continents is extremely difficult and dangerous. And, you are always free to leave. We won't stop you.

i don t really know where you from,althought, enjoy your video though but i wonder what foreigners thinks about it cause as far as know , Canada overall, a lovely place to be even if consedering health care system as well homeless which is gettin worse and worse but don gt you think any other contry as their own issue? i am not judging you but you need to leave here to understand the canadian mentality. i get frustrated as well about ppverty and all others stuff but tell me any country that don t have any problem these days! poverty is everywhere and i m glad leaving in Montreal, we got everything we want except for health system which is a nightmare!

The number 1 reason not to go to Canada is that after a person spends their whole life paying off their home, in case of death the goverment is charging 25 % of the worth of the house. \nFor example: if you own a business and if you sponsor some gay or transgender group you have tax deduction, but if you leave something to your own kids they have to pay 25 % or a quarter of the value of the home they inherit or accept as a gift. Oh by the way, if you do not leave a will they might end up with nothing.

Canada has become a very socialist country under totalitarian ruler, Trudeau. Everyone wants to leave this hell hole. The healthcare system and really all of our infrastructure cannot support the population as it is. As more and more people are let into the country, all of our systems are on the verge of collapse. It’s a disaster.

If you have a case, you stay; if you don't, you have to leave. These are called immigration laws. If you don't have a case, don't waste your money and time in Canada, stay where you are

Baseball Season. We are heading to Roxham road to get our batting practice this spring for the upcoming season. Me and 6 other Canadian loving ball players are all leaving our homes in Canada to arrive at Roxham road on March 8. Any of you other Canadian loving ball players need some batting practice too. Meet us there on Morning of March 8th. I am the midnight rider,,,Roxham road march 8th

when theres such an oversized , corrupt self serving fed govt there will be mental iillness and division, talk about racism, try living in any of the countries you describe cdns are racist against, its a country has been infiltrated by corrupt and power seeking globalists, the quality of life is not great and many people are leaving

Very true. I moved to Canada at the age of 20 going on 21 in 1990 and in a few months, I am turning 54. I've been to college twice and I could not get a job in the fields I studied for; instead I am working in a factory and I've worked hard. I'm on medical leave, but I'm now waiting to return to work and my employer has not been making it easy to return. I plan to return to my home country once I retire, because I hate winter weather and when it gets cold, my arthritis flares up and it will get worse as I age. It's very expensive here, car insurance, house insurance, phone bills, grocery bills, property taxes, and federal taxes. You work and work and you get 2 weeks vacation and sometimes, you don't even get to enjoy it. I remember getting sick when I took my holidays. You work long and crappy hours for just enough money to pay expenses and you don't really get to enjoy life. Canada is a beautiful country, but when do you get time to explore and enjoy it? Right now for me, it seems to be when I retire I'll be able to do that, if I can afford it (remember, taxes are high).

Their country their rule..don't like it ? Leave...you were never invited...if your religion is important go back to your country and follow it... don't be hypocrite

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

You should leave!

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.
