I am a naturalized Canadian citizen. Born and raised here. I totally understand why you would want to leave. Canada is broken. ! Thank god I am nearing retirement. As soon as I get my Pensions ( money I have contributed all of my life ) I'm out of here.....reason # 8, Tired of freezing my ass off.

I think this video generalize too much. It’s like this guy asked 3 person what they think about a whole country and made a video about it. I’m Canadian, I just bought a house for 100k. I graduated from college with 0$ student debts. I had back problems that are now gone and paid 0$ for it, and i absolutely never waited more than 2 hours at the hospital. I’m living in a peaceful community between mountains and the ocean. I totally love living in Canada and i legitimately cannot comprehend the hate about it. I worked in a lot of different Canadians cities with different communities and everyone has good things to say about our country. I travel a lot and when I see how life is elsewhere, I’m always glad to be back home.

Canada's economy is a bubble burst but not discussed. When more than 80% of ur salary goes in Mortgage payments, the nation is falling apart

Great video and hits a lot of real pain points\n\nI for one am leaving Canada, born and raised in Alberta, lived in BC most of my adult life. Sorry but see ya!\n\n1 I am tired of the weather -40 is a no no and most of our country hits it a few times a year. 52 years and this is my LAST winter. What a Relief!!\n2 I am tired of the MASSIVE greed in real estate that has been allowed to flourish. No way most of Gen Z will ever be able to own homes, if the are lucky they will get one passed down to them, shame you have to wait for a family member to DIE to own your own home :( Benchmark prices for home in Victoria 1.2 million, Vancouver 1.18 million, Kelowna 1 million. Very few people can afford a 6k+ a month mortgage. Shame on our govts that allowed this to happen.\n3 I am tired of the degradation of the family unit. Western morals have gone for crap, crime is up and people are happy to threaten each other. \n4 I am tired of the lack of available health care. All i can get is a 3 minute phone call after booking 4 weeks in advance??? wow \n5 I am tired of the people too, but in different ways. Way too much like USA now, people that pride themselves for ignorance, willfully ignoring science and safety or even common sense.\n6 I am tired of the governments, provincial and federal. ALL of the parties suck and will not do what is needed here. We are getting as bad as the USA. (which will soon tear itself apart!!)\n\nCanadians are a LOT more xenophobic than we might show. Most of us from the prairies (Boomers/GenX) never saw anything but seas of white people and native Americans. You probably never saw a foreigner maybe you knew someone that did... This is not the same country i grew up in. Good or bad I do not know, but it is way different!\n\nGrowth and thinking Growth will make a country flourish is a lie, and it destroys country after country. Canada is next. It populace will continue to grow with no room, no jobs, no hope.

I am living in Canada and leaving next year it used to be a safe country but now it all changed

As someone who lives in Canada, I can confirm that this country is falling apart. A combo of idiotic government and policies have brought this country down.

Homeless capital of Canada is Vancouver

Justin Trudeau is destroying canada ?. I graduated from Computer Science 2 years ago and I can’t find work.

Hi bro!thankyou so much,you are 100% correct. According to statistics, 70% of assylum seekers fail to be granted in Canada. The worst part of it is that our African brothers dt fo enough research. The assylum pendamic has been abused tremendously because people dt know the meaning of assylum. God bless ya bro!

Bruh, like Canada isn’t bale bale already ?

TLDR; I am an person from a wartorn, oppressive country, and I unfortunately do not have many options to choose from other than Canada to have a chance for a better life.\n\nLet me tell you from the perspective of a person whose dream is to come to Canada: I know all this already, I know things are going terribly and the cost of living has gone up significantly. But the unfortunate thing is, the country I am from, is currently in turmoil. I do not fit in there as a person and hate the culture. Its incredibly corrupt with no growth. I am more western, and open minded, and my original country is a strict Islamic country. I do not fit there at all.\n\nI know Canada has all these problems, but its my only choice for a better future, I dont want to go to US because I dont wanna die, also, EU wont accept me unless I am from EU myself or speak their language which is a catch 22. Australia is also becoming a shithole. That leaves Canada and NZ. NZ doesnt have that good of job prospects and limited scope and I love Canada, always have. The weather and everything that comes with it.\n\nYes its not perfect, but I think its more about knowing that I can go back to a place, that is not dangerous for me and my future family, where I will get good care if I am stable job wise. Once I am in Canada, I will probably buy my own land and use that to have a trailer home there since they are still cheap, save my money, and probably retire in Philippines. \n\nI dont believe everyone else should do that and yes I know trailer's costs depreciates with time, unlike a house, but I dont care about that. I dont think of houses as investment and I never will nor I will participate in that practice. Everyone has a right for home.

Human trafficking. Canada's economy is based on a ponzi scheme luring millions of victims in to rip them off their life savings .

Trudeau created the problem by increasing the population from 35 to 41 million between 2015 and 2023. This created a lack of housing, a lack of doctors and a divided GDP. Trudeau broke Canada maybe forever

Toronto has changed and not for the better.? Canada has changed and not for the better.

Wiping out Canada's forests, wetlands, natural habitats is not the responsible thing to do!! We as a species need to reduce our numbers. We need to live in balance with nature and all the other life on this planet.

Qubec is shutting rhe doir ro all English speaking doctors, only few doctors in the world speak Ftench and if at all they xome to Canada

Is this Canada which founded by White people or is this India or a Midddle eastern country? lol

Truturd wants Canada to turn into Haiti

When they say “Canada wants immigration”, what do they mean? This is not “Canada” wants, it is Canadian ruling class wants. There was no popular vote nor referendum about this, Trudeau and Freeland did not ask Canadians if they want more immigrant.

I left B.C and Canada, very disgusted about its POLITICALL CORRECTNESS BS and because I did not wanna life and pay such high taxes as an Employer, for such distrustfull Government.

Canada is just another Indian state. Yes, Canada is just another indian state. Not a typo.

I ruled out Canada for relocation long ago!

Thank you so much for this explanatory video. For someone travelling to canada for professional exam, what category do one select under the visit visa, is it tourist or business or compassionate?

This guy is spreading misinformation about Canada, we have a free health care here. Why the hell you said our health care cost more than in Europe? Can you explain.

Liberals, NDP, and their woke left-wing friends treat Canadians poorly, and they disrespect Canadians. No matter how those woke lefties try to find excuses for their masters, i will not trust them. Voting Pierre for PM and Conservatives is the only way to save Canada now

in layman's term Canada is the poorest in the richest countries?

Europeans occpuied canada 200 years back now its time for ukranians and Indian subcontinent people.

I'm just glad I dropped my Canada Immigration plan\n\nI was 100 percent sure 2-4 years about moving to Canada for a masters and a job

If you plan on coming to Canada, don't or at least don't vote any left wing parties. If you're leaving Canada, don't vote for any of the left wing parties wherever you're going.

I find it quite funny international students complaining , then dont come to Canada lol

In what countries you don't have to worry about a job and an income? Is either these people are delusional or Canada have an outstanding pr team.

Our primary issue is that we make it extremely easy for unskilled immigrants to come to Canada. But we put up many barriers to prevent skilled workers from migrating here.

Trudeau is destroying Canada with radical immigration, wokism and reckless environmental policy. So yeah, I have left.

So Canada wants immigrants (presumably as workers) with no provision to pay them. Isn't that slavery?\n\nIf Canadas birth rate is falling, there shouldn't be any homeless, right. Fewer to house means more housing relatively speaking.\n\nMichael Moore eat your heart out.

Not easy at all living in Canada.

I’ve been angry and pessimistic about how Canada, and my province Quebec are run since the early 00’s. It has gotten worse every year since then.

I could understand why Cubans might want to come to Canada to be closer to a Castro.

Kuch bhi mat bola karo labour job mein kon two and half aur teen hazaar kamata hai Canada mein kuch bhi mat fekaa karo mujeh 30 saal ho gaye hai Canada mein aaj tak mein $ 1000.00 k upar nahi kamaya hai kisi bhi labour jobs mein.

Maybe reason No9 is the main one. Canada, along with other western countries, is turining into an authoritarian state...with bought and corrupted politicians.

I was born in Canada to a Polish immigrant mother. My mothers family came to Canada to escape the tail end of communism and seek better opportunities. I’m 22, I have a degree from a good university and I’m now living with my mother working part time at a liquor store. I was told as a teenager as long as I got a degree I’d have a job and have enough to live on my own. I was lied to. I’m currently working on getting my dual Polish-Canadian citizenship and doing a certification to go teach English in Europe. I can’t have a good life here the way prices are and the stress being in this country brings. There’s homeless encampments everywhere, even in front of my city hall. There’s a couple homeless people who sit outside the store I work at and it’s a heavy reminder I’m one argument with my mother from sitting where they are. I am constantly worried I will become homeless.

What leave Canada? Answer: high taxes, horrible climate, stupid politicians, lack of affordable housing, massive debt, lousy public schooling, and a falling standard of living.

yep Canada is done. a lot of genderless people and genderless washrooms in schools, drugged up people from drug legalization, depressed individuals can now qualify for the recent legalization of assisted suicide, super cold place, jobs doesn't align with standard of living, crime is legalized like theft under $1000, college schooling are the same price as some housing mortgages, no one having kids because can't even afford down payment for housing on 2 incomes, Taxes up to 60%, and Lastly; a new law is being propped up and can send me to prison for life for causing harm if they get depressed and ended themself for seeing this comment. I moved to Canada 15 years ago and yes coming from a third world country, here felt like a downgrade. I am just trying to erase my debt then move back home and restart.

Canada sucks!! Why would anybody go there??

Europe is dead\nCanada is dead\nKorea is dead \nAmerica is about\nJapan insanely hard to go there \n\nI was in France and gosh, I never been so happy to live in Québec, alas it's the most expensive but, I never had so much money, I never had the chance to spend money\n\nyes I don't have a car yet but, living in Canada was the best choice

This is very true. I am an Austrian citizen that tried to immigrate into Canada from 2021-2023, I worked my ass off, working 2 jobs for most of my stay and living as cheaply as possible. I still burned through all my savings and a significant amount of money my family sent me to help out. I had an accident and waited for hours for an ambulance to show up, they transported me to a different city because in this town none of the two hospitals had a fucking X-Ray machine. Then the next morning the hospital in the other city kicked me out again, with a fucked up back, because there were no beds available. Had to call my neighbours to come pick me up again (thank you Tracy, love you) because I couldn't get home anymore. Lost one of my jobs thanks to this and started a different one, couldn't afford live in BC anymore and moved to Winnipeg because I heard live there is cheaper. It is, but not significantly so, but you pay for this by living in terrible conditions. Rent was still high, salary was shit, the public transport system is.... Existent but not reliable and the city is so incredibly dirty. There's garbage everywhere. Between my apartment and the nearest dollar store was one garbage can and that was a 20-30 minute walk, here in Vienna there's garbage cans everywhere and thanks to them the city is cleaner. \n\nAnyways, I gave up on moving to Canada and came home. Still dealing with my fucked up back (though it's getting better thanks to Physio and a good doctor) and the debt I accrued in the last few years. But my apartment costs less than half for the same size, my job earns me significantly more money, my phone plan is better and costs less than half and the food is both much much cheaper and much much better. \n\nI am happy with life now. Thank you Canada for showing me how bad even other parts of the developed world are, I really learned to appreciate Austria while I was away.

I love living in Canada ❤

Immigrants leave Canada after having the citizenship certificate because of the high cost of living and the none affordable housing

No future in Canada. Rulers don't care. A country will progress if they bring in lot of investment, bring in quality educated immigrants, they bring in refugees and below quality students waste the money just vote bank politics. No real forecasting leaders. Fun is fighting with two fast growing nation China and India. Not mature enough to do business. Health care gone down. Ridiculous unable to control the the car theft happening in front of their eyes. What a shame.

I think its quite obvious that Trudeau & Singh & Freeland etc ade purposely trying to destroy Canada ??

i dont think you can have a channel aboot canada and avoid politics anymore. This country is in serious trouble and being crushed under an increasingly bloated and gluttonous administrative class staffed by narcissistic psychopaths hell bent on tyranny and utopian visions. \n\nThose of you one the outside... namely america, help us, liberate us please.
