my wife left canada and ,live now in the netherlands because the healfcare is gone si bad. iam dutch and we meet here in holland,we are now married for 13 years and i love to live in canada, but they make it so difficult for me to become a candian. very sad.

I have been in Canada 10 years. I love it and have no plans to leave ever. I doubt you can find better place.

For some nations Canada turned into nightmare by spoof call attack. Many people died or killed. This kind of attack using impersonation by foreign country agents to target some people like me and many of my friends. Unfortunately most Asian and black and Latino people easily get fooled and used as a tool for attacker to target some people. Drug problem is another big issue in Canada and USA but fortunately gun violence is less than US. Healthcare getting worse everyday. Bad neighborhood experience which destroyed my health for life mostly because of spoof call attack. Bad policing which killed many innocent people. Woke laws and culture which marginalized men who are driving force of society. Very weird working experience. Work for yourself or get enslaved by another employer that's why people would love to work for government. Housing prices skyrocketing in big cities and there is no foreseeable future for its remedy. Cold weather for six month of year and at the end COVID force closure killed many of people and hospitalization was so bad. Anywhere there was no hospitalization people life were saved. There is no open market like many countries which are backed by government to buy goods in reasonable price for low income people. Very restricted laws for driver license. Life in Canada is far from normal kills you or make you disable for life without getting you paid. Now I disabled for couple of years and I'm outside of Canada and just my family saved my life because I couldn't work because of disability due to spoof call attack which cause severe peripheral neuropathy. Even there is no any protocol for this illness to get cured and forced me to see many MDs and cost me lots of money. Just stay away from Canada which is a nightmare and my sickness cost me not be able to protect my family and died because of that. Canada is a hell

1.2 million immigrants the past year, like 4 million since Trudeau came in. doubled the costs of everything and limiting freedoms, favoring the woke and punishing those who dare to stand against his love of dictatorships and attempting to implement same in canada

I worked and lived in five countries and Canada is the best one of them and the least racist . I love Canada more than the country I was born in .

The states have way more hockey teams than Canada and yes no key is probably the most loved sport but we love our baseball, football, curling, skiing soccer and according to some reports lacrosse ist the most popular (this is far from accurate, it must have been a lacrosse loved staying that).

Here's one: don't talk about how much better your home country is compared to Canada. Also, if you love your home country so much, why are you here?

Bro Trudeau mess up canada in love of punjabi redical criminal international students

Alberta is to Canada what Texas is to the USA. Lots of work in Alberta and conservative based. Saskatchewan is a little cheaper, but flat and cold. I was born in sk, but moved to Alberta in my teens and never looked back. So if you love guns, freedom, not so much government Alberta is your Provence

Im also done with Canada. Please for the love of God, seperate Quebec. Lets just hurry the break up of Canada already. The east can do what it wants, Manitoba- who cares about that place, Sask, Alberta, amd north of the Okanagan will be fine. The rest of yas-best of luck.

The government doesn't care at all about Canadians. They don't care about the country. Revisit Trudeau's old stock Canadian speech.They are trying to mask the economic crash ongoing in Canada. But hey gta and maritimes love these liberals. Republic of Alberta

There's a job shortage not a labour shortage.There are millions of unemployed and under employed people that would love to fill high paying jobs and trades but can't due to bureucratic barriers.Ask the doctor driving a cab in toronto or the lady with a masters degree who makes your latte.Companies should train people not pawn that off to the college's.The myth is these low to no slilled immigrants are supposed to generate wealth for Canada yeah? It's been 54 years of imposed mass migration where's the pay off? If they could why didn't they do it back in their own country? Immigration only works in small numbers from first world countries.All countries pushing for mass migration are having the same problem cause the concept doesnt work.The rich just want cheap labour at Canadians expense.

As an immigrant from Europe (not a country with a high level of poverty or a war), I arrived here in 2016 and I can say I love Canada, a very welcoming country. While I see lots of immigrants returning to their countries or going to other places, this country is amazing, offering tons of possibilities to entrepreneurs, business people and with a wide variety of possibilities. Yes, housing is an issue but it is in many rich countries. I also see a lot of people like me, happy about what they have and what they built. I travelled the world (Australia, Europe, Middle-East, Africa and Asia) and I can guarantee, there is no perfect place. So find the place that suits you best. Do not expect perfection. It does not exist.

Can anyone explain the level of delusion that these hopeful people have to have to believe that America is some sort of Heaven?\n\nWhether these students/potential students are considering universities in Canada or the USA , some serious considerations have to be made.\n\nIn some ways this is wrong and extremely depressing. In other ways, I believe it should be taken as a wake up call.\n\nWhat does all of this lead to, one year later? I'd love to know.

Indigenous Dega /Montagnard Jarai Bahanar we love Canada many of Montagnard live in Canada today

I am in IT, immigrated to Canada from Punjab around 16 yrs ago. I never applied for any job since I landed and was never without a job too. Its actually recruiters who keep on contacting me by checking my LinkedIn profile or seeing my resume online. In recent 1-2 weeks too, I got 6-7 offers. I live in Manitoba with a decent affordable house and have a decent affordable life. \nI love Canada. Living here happily with no complains.

Listening to all the bloggers on You tube there's not a good country on earth. \nCame to Canada 30 years ago as refuges and we love these country and won't move anywhere else. Yes it's not perfect but look around.\nIf you're not afraid to work and know how to use your money you can accomplish a lot...

I'm in Canada from last 15 years with my family...its been not easy but then where it is ? Immigration is a constant global phenomenon....go wherever it suits you, best of luck. I love Canada....the best country in the world with its pitfalls. ....long live Canada ❤

I am in Canada for 17 years and I love this country. It literally saved my life. Although I have to admit that it is a matter of surviving nowadays. My husband is a senior piping designer and he can't find a job for more than a year and was on and off the job for last 6 years. I am an internationally trained doctor and I can't find anything for myself. I can't afford pursuing my profession as it's too expensive and takes years with no certainty thag you will even get into industry. So I'm looking for all other jobs. But I'm either overqualified or don't have Canadian experience. So we have money just for a few months to survive... With 2 kids it's even more stressful... We barely can afford our rent... And we can't go back home as we left it so many years ago, no connections for job there too. So we really just pray everyday...

Canada is great! Just move out Toronto and expensive cities. I leave in a boring city so I can afford to live well, although I love city life. You complain about healthcare? Move, eat well, and go to the emergency room only in case if you have an accident. Relationships are not great though.

You guys are from the okanagan ?? We (hubby and i) have considered moving from Canada as well. We are baptist and very very few churches preach the same things we preach here.. so can understand how you feel. We also hold similar beliefs to man and woman etc. It is discouraging being in a country claiming to be for peace and love when they're actually very hateful (mostly to religious ppl or disabled )\n\nGood for you protecting your family. We are against what Isreal is doing ! Free Palestine!

As someone born and living in Canada I'd love to live in Singapore. I'd pay a premium to live in a country where the government was run by serious people and there weren't deranged homeless people everywhere, there was law and order, pro capitalist laws, etc. Housing and living expenses are awful in Canada, but I'd honestly be fine with that if I thought it was worth living here, or I saw a future in this country. I'm not criticizing you for moving to Canada though. If you like it here I think that's great.

Love usa and canada

THEY GO TO CANADA TO CLEAN THE TOILETS AND DRIVE TRUCKS THEY LOVE GORAS A LOT

I love Canada, but Toronto is definitely my least favourite city. I have friends there and always have fun staying there, but there is no way I could live there. I had my eyes on the west coast, but I really love life in Montreal and I cannot imagine ever leaving.

The brains are still Arabic middle eastern Canada and they have the education and talent to speak. Now talking against a wonderful country people love to leave..

Who says so, you muslim love to stay in Canada make lots of babies and screw the government for child benefits and no need to work.

I lived in Canada for 14 years, from 1998 to 2013 ,i was the most happiest person while living in montreal ,long story short, lost all my money in montreal casino around 200k ,left Canada for Australia with my wife who was pregnant, start new life wasn't easy here but im ok now , my hear is always in canada , and canadian ,love you montreal

Canada is white scam, dont lure on that...imagine Canada gets billions of dollars for WES ICAS application, student permits, visas and others.....better you stay in your home country. if you all go out your country., the crock politicians will be happy because they know all the talented skilled workers are out of country especially india....please love your country....

I really love Canada\nLast year\nI made 130000 dollars\nI paid 40000 tax\nHowever my employer have private pension\nSo technically I paid 30000 dollar tax\nI take 6 month off every year for vacation\nPeople are asking how\nWhat I do\nI work overtime and use it to take time off\nFor example if I work 1 overtime\nI can take 2 hour off\nIt is safe and clean countries

I lived in Canada for 13 years, left in 2020 for England. Really sucks because I loved Canada so much but the prices are INSANE. Would love to move back but at this rate idk if that’s happening anymore

We ready to leave forever after 20 years in Canada. \nWe love this country but what the clown did will need decades to be fixed.

I love Canada, especially Quebec. It is expensive in all so-called developed countries and cities.

I love Canada I don’t know what everybody is bitching about. Leave il help you pack?

Housing affordability sucks, gender education sucks, and mostly our health care system sucks. Man I love Canada, don't get me wrong. But people are ruining it.

Personally I want to move to Canada I would love to live there but just don’t know

For the people who LOVE america........remember..one hospital visit away from bankrupcy.\nAtleast healthcare in Canada is MOSTLY free.

I’m Indian who moved to Canada in 1969……..over the last 8 years Trudeau has turned Canada into a woke garbage dump. If you love life, liberty, and the pursuit of opportunity, stay in your country, you will have more freedoms and opportunity. Canada is now being turned into a woke nightmare! It has never been a racist country in the past…….but it is now. Justin Trudeau is a master clown.

I'm Congolese born and raised in France left Toronto after 5 years to go back to Paris because \n- Cost of living \n- Cost of becoming a house owner \n- Dry Dating game \n- Workaholic culture\n- Not seeing myself building my family far away from my family\n - 6 month winter \nI love Canada tho, was a great experience ??and I did apply for a citizenship tho

I love Canada, moved here 20 plus years ago, worked like a dog full time and studied full time at university. Lived in rotten basement for years. Got education, now live in a comfortable life.

I'd love to move to Canada, but i'm wrong skin colour to pass a visa application.

Love living in Canada. Problem here people wanna get pay big BUT don't wanna work. UBER JOBS are not really jobs.

As a Jamaican living in Canada it's an Amazing country. with great opportunities. Love living in Canada..

As a Pakistani I fully support love respect and support USA Canada and its beautiful people from Pakistan ?. Best regards from Pakistan ?.

I think if you want to succeed then you will succeed anywhere. I love my country India. But I don’t like the pollution and the rat race children go through . You cannot afford a decent place to stay in big cities if you are not earning really really well. Yes, loneliness is there in Canada but you can make friends , join extracurricular activities. I do hate the health system but also I know that God forbid if I ever have a serious disease , I don’t have to pay for it through my nose like India. This lady is cribbing for nothing at all. I don’t think she wanted to stay. She must have thought here roads are paved with gold. In India also you have to struggle . Go in a packed train to work, come late and cook. You don’t learn any life skills because maid is there.

Please go back , we are more than happy you are not happy here ! Go back ding complaint! No one is going to miss these people bad mouth Canada ! I love Canada ! Just go back ! Bye bye !

I love Canada and always will

Toronto resident here. I do agree with everything that Alina pointed out. Those thing exist. But the only REAL problem is the high cost of rent. It now equals and even surpasses the cost of a mortgage. If the rent problem were resolved, and they can do this by simply building more housing (which they are now starting to do - with government programs and incentives), then most of these problems Alina reported on would recede or disappear completely. \n\nAlso, the homelessness is not visually worse than anywhere else I've visited. Homeless encampments are visible in every city I've been too. However, in Toronto, a LOT of homeless people come from other parts of Canada. \n\nThe violence that Alina referred to was just a snapshot in time. She made her video around 4 months ago, and at that time there were several truly shocking incidents on the subway (which even made international news). Those incidents have not continued. The subway system, and Toronto, is still a very, very safe city. We are the third largest city in North America, after LA and NYC, and we had something like 50 homicides last year. Chicago has like 500. Just by way of example. \n\nI love Toronto, even though it is very expensive to pay rent here. But there is so much to offer that I wouldn't consider living somewhere else. Not a chance. It's great that you can live somewhere else if you work remotely, but when you're not working, what do you do?...Toronto is safe, clean (except in tourist season), with limitless opportunities for career and lifestyle. Wouldn't live anywhere else.

No just my home and native land Canada. I love my country.
