Salam...Torontonian here. Last few years i have been in the same boat but cant decide where to move. With 3 little girls and all the reasons you also mentioned i dont see a future living in this chaging environment. I did grow up in UAE so i have experience living in the gulf and have visited recently, its got expensive and cant stand the sutle discrimination that exists within the system. Next, moving to places like Malaysia, not sure about finding quality work with good income buts thats one of the top in the list, with turkey and souther USA (i know). \nGood luck on your journey and keep posting :)

I was born in Canada, yet even I am tempted to leave it. Trudeau's both Jr & Sr have certainly ruined it (and probably forever). I would also like to add that I wish you and your family all the best, but it's too bad things have deteriorated as they have for all of us, whatever religious or political beliefs to the point that we just don't like it here anymore. Good luck in your pursuit of happiness, you deserve it (as we all do)!

Canada is broken for all faiths and races. It was once a great country. Good luck on your journey. I respect your reasons for leaving.

I see eye to eye with you on 3 points, but for the other two, you are entitled to your own views and perspectives. I think a country in the GCC, Indonesia or Malaysia possibly may be a nice option for you. Good luck on your journey and hope you find what you are looking for to live the life you desire.

Great decision, good luck. You'll be happy elsewhere insha Allah. Long live Palestine free Palestine NOW ❤??❤️????❤️??❤️??????❤️??.London

Very courageous and I must say that you have passed the test of true belief in one God...I hope every muslim now realises that Allah SWT is now testing every single one of us....Good Luck and I pray that you succeed.

Good idea to have this 'exploratory' world tour first, before fully committing to leave this (and you'll soon find out) not-perfect-but truly amazing country... Good luck and safe travels!

Well, at least you're honest about not fitting in to a civilised country. Good luck.

Did you not know all that before you moved in? Anyway good bye. And good luck. Many others will be more than happy to take the place you vacate. \nOne OUT. One IN

Good decision. Islam and western culture are simply not compatible. Thank you for being honest about the obvious. Good luck.

Good luck to you guys, but what I’ve learned in my life grass isn’t greener on the other side!

The majority of people leaving Canada only came here to abuse the system and never had any intention of assimilating. Good Bye and Good Luck.

Its good you decided to move out. Good luck!

It's obvious that you have never lived outside of Canada. Canada is probably one of the last countries in the world that accepts people for who they are and has a decent level of respect for belief systems. I get that you want to raise your children in a better environment, but trust me when I tell you this... you are walking into a world of disappointment. Canada itself is about 15 years behind other countries when it comes to this downwards spiral you are speaking of. Sadly, you will find out soon enough that this utopia you want to find, simply doesn't exist and you will discover you have left the variable comforts and safety of Canada behind. I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but am simply sharing what I discovered when I searched for the same things. I think L. Frank Baum said it best.... if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. If you are lucky in life you will discover that the world doesn't stop turning for you, and that the world that you dream of for your children must be created from within. That being said, it is good to travel and trying different ways of living is a wonderful education for your children. Just remember to shield your hearts and stay positive if things don't turn out the way that you hope they will. Best of luck and stay safe.

I live in USA and it's the same here the cost of living is true the roof, it's a world wide thing, the income of most people is barely enough to live, the middle class is getting trampled, why? Why this phenomenon is taking place? in the 60' people could work and buy a house, good luck now in Los Angles area, I know I can't. What changed 1960 and now?

I'm not a Muslim, but your reasons are very understandable! Good luck with your journey lovely couple!

Greate and good luck. I wish you stay wherever you move to

'Free Palestine' hat says it all ... good bye and good luck hopefully gaza will suite you better

Hi there! I hear all your reasons to leave Canada and I have one question. Will you renounce your Canadian citizenship when you leave? Good luck in your journey :)

Good luck guys whatever you do don’t move to the UAE these guys lost Islamic identity and their moral compass.

Yeah but who wants to live in calgary or Edmonton??? so cold and you're isolated. Too far from the rest of the world. Very depressing. Good luck trying to keep yourself mentally balanced

I'm not Muslim but I understand your decision I wish you're family the best and good luck god bless your family

Good luck to both of you. Canada will be the lesser for your departure.

What I have heard about Canadian policies, they are idiotic - to say it nicely. However, the Canadians clearly want to go on with the existing agendas, so I'm getting tired of these videos claiming that Canadians are not happy. \nNo. They are happy! Otherwise they would not vote the same people to go on governing them. Mr. Trudeau seems to be such a darling of a man, that you Canadians just can't cope without him. So, good luck with your chosen path.

Interesting I'm from a sikh background, moved there and left lol its certainly on the decline. Kudos to you guys and good luck

Thank you so much for giving the beautiful example of a Muslim family, good luck with your new journey in life.

Good luck with your choice to leave Canada... \nMay Allah SWT guide and protect you al as a family.\nBut don't be disappointed.\nCause intimidation of Islam is all over the world. Very sad to say. Go well safe and take care. Allah bless you with the best of health sabr in your new venture, Ameen \nWslm take care❤

Malaysia is a nice place. Good luck.

Good luck may Allah be with you you have definitely made the right decision I’m a British citizen my father moved here 25 years ago and I have the exact same reasons and have been planning to move somewhere in an Islamic country

You chose well. Good luck.

Good luck!

If you don't love this country and it makes you unhappy to live here please leave immediately. God Speed and Good Luck.

Everywhere is the same in terms of inflations , infect having friends in Europe I know is even worse over there . I think your problem is you want to live your life very Islamic , you want everything around you being about religious in your case Islam . That's your choice as we all have a choice , even what I really want to say to you is get a life lol but the only Muslim country even they are changing and thanks god for that for you to move to is Saudi Arabia and good luck to you cause you need it kind of over there lol

I am saddend by the number of people who have chosen to leave Canada, although I realize that this is a good decision for you and many others. This country has changed, and not for the better. Greed has taken over with grocery conglomerates eliminating competition and raising prices for record profits. Buying a house now requires a lottery win, not just a mortgage. It seems that we are working to pay taxes and the banks and the insurance companies. And I have yet to hear anything meaninfull about this situation from the government on these issues. I was once a very proud Canadian but I too am considering leaving. My question is where will it be better? Good Luck to you and your family. May Allah guide and keep you safe.

I'm so sorry that our country has treated you so inhumanely. I understand your decision and support you in that. I wish you luck and hope that your future, wherever you go, is blessed with love and good fortune.

You are 100% right in your reasons to move. I would never live somewhere that doesn't align with my beliefs. It is a battle you cannot win. Good luck with your next move!

Are you moving to afghan? Good luck..

Stay were you are and overcome your fear. Good people who will protect you exists everywhere in the western world. \nGood luck from a christian atheist

Good luck with your move. My question is, what would you recommend for a Jewish (born or converted) person who faces the EXACT same issues for them? In particular, no public Jewish environment (like your example of calls for prayer or places to pray at the mall), hate crimes against visible Jews at an all-time high, etc. \nSo where in the world should Jews move to find those things? Is there a Jewish country you could recommend all Jews should relocate to?

Big decision, but so is the world. Have you considered what you would do for a living? I'm sorry I don't know much about your family. \nIf you can work from anywhere in the world, then you have a few choices. Someone suggested Malaysia. I think that is very good option. Its technically advanced, people are kind and warm, living expenses are very reasonable. I have only visited once, but I loved it. Felt completely comfortable (I don't wear the hijab). This was my experience from over 25years ago. \nIf you want to consider an Arab country, I would highly recommend checking out Oman, that is where I am from. I lived in the US for over 25 years, and now I love living in Oman. Its very calm, people are kind and welcoming. Winters are great here, but summers are very hot. Most foreigners who come here, never want to leave. The sense of serenity here is addictive. \nGood luck in your search.

live and good luck !

Good luck Good decision.

Goodbye and good luck!?

Good Luck to your family. Good choice to leave. Shithole place anyway.

Good luck

It is nice to see well balanced, parents. Good luck with a blessed move.

If you decide to live in an Arabic country please keep your eyes open on the curriculum your kids study at school as the schools there import their books from UK, USA and Canada. Good luck

Koodoos I really am proud of you two..You both sound like you are ready to have that change. Good luck you and your family. I'm Canadian and I do not blame you. Much better days ahead. ????

You want to live in a theocratic country. Canada is not for you. Good luck to your girls with the lack of freedom and the constant opression as women.

Good luck
