How to go Canada

I moved to Canada as a student in Sept 2023. I moved back in January 2024. \nExtremely hard decision. But no regret! \nIt’s not worth it anymore.

Canada Sucks! its a sunken place now

I am a Mexican living in Mexico, I have visited Canada on several occasions and I think it is an excellent place to live. The part I don't understand about this report is: if people are leaving Canada, why is the cost of housing still high? In my opinion, the people who are now leaving Canada realized too late that they cannot afford the standard of living in a country like Canada. The same would have happened if they had emigrated to England, France, the United States or Germany. The phenomenon has more to do with the value of work than with Canada. In the last two decades the value of unskilled work has plummeted, no one can live in a moderately developed country with an unskilled job, to make matters worse, now white collar jobs have also begun to disappear. Society is simply transformed again and the effects of this transformation begin to be noticed first in those countries where life is more expensive.

Living in Canada for more than 33 years.\nCanada has become a country in which lazy people are rewarded and hard working people is overtaxed. Not sustainable for those hard working people. Why work hard if all gouvernements take 50% and more of your income?

So, your reasons are mainly, if not purely, religious and cultural? Not to dismiss your concerns.\n\nA word of caution - from a non-Muslim: you might be disappointed, as Muslims, to find out that not many countries afford the level of freedoms you and your family, having lived in Canada, would expect; you perhaps know it already.\n\nYou could try the Maldives, an island nation, beautiful landscape, Muslim country, with English as lingua franca. Good luck!

They immigrate to Canada to immigrate to America.

I agree with all the points, as a Muslim that have been raised in Europe and living currently in Canada, I always thought that Islam was stronger here than in Europe, one of the reasons why I decided to move here, until I came to see with my own eyes scary things, mostly the indoctrination part ? omg. There is nothing better than a Muslim country, my husband and I too are moving from Canada in June inshalah ? I can’t wait to raise my children in a Muslim country, my dream came true and I cannot be more grateful ? I am glad that many Muslim are moving back to Muslim counties, feeling our brothers and sisters support in this difficult journey, is priceless ❤️

high house prices is good for Canada, as house owner becomes richer, they are all Canadians, do you get it ?

Taking money out from immigrants are great for local business, immigrants buy furniture, fly Air Canada, rent local houses, eat local restaurant. Canadians are taking all the saving from new immigrants, that is great. What is your concern ???

Of course you must work 40 to 50 hrs a week to survive! What kind of statement was that?\n\nCanada needs immigration. Canada has not handled housing and immigration well.

I left Canada and won't go back. Very expensive and very poor medical care

We also look to leave. With education and experience of 10 years in Canada, still cannot get jobs in my fields. Health care is terrible, food is super expensive, one salary covers rent, the other expenses. No future without saving.

Canada needs more affordable housing, lower the cost of food, lower interest rates and taxes and remove Trudeau's administration

Let the bread be $500 I will still go there (Canada) and stay for good???wtf am I doing here in AFRICA ????

Canada is a 2 star hotel that advertises itself as a 5 star hotel. It's a $h÷t-hole. I left in 2021, and have been living a much better life since I left.

Canadian universities are going to suffer because now Canada has a bad reputation in both China and India, which are the largest sources of international students.

You should have stay put and given canada life a chance for your children's future benefits.

In Canada half of your salary goes into rent.

Stop coming to Canada and ruining our country

Its not just Canada, I live in the UK and the crime is also up among other things like costs for basic stuff like food and transport.\nThe only thing going down is the standard if living.

Canada has sooo much land but like the man said, it stopped housing development 30 yrs ago. Everyone is concentrated in a few cities when they can develop more land. Citizens should get priority.

Canada is just hyped. It's good for nothing... literally nothing. No jobs, high inflation. Skilled people have no value here. It's a doomed nation.

These clowns just want protection just in case their home country goes south. Many come from country that doesn’t allow dual citizenship. Way to go to show loyalty to Canada.

I have lived in UK, Australia, US and Canada. I spent 2 years in UK, 1 year in Australia then moved to US for my masters where I also worked for 6 years. So total of 8 years in US, I moved to India and had adjustment issues. Then 1.5 year later I moved to Canada as permanent resident. After 2 years, I ended up leaving Canada back to India. Some people suggested wait for another 13 months and return with Canadian citizenship but I had enough. What I have realized is, for tech/scientific roles, Canada or other countries are no match for the US. \nAlso, Americans are much kinder and open than people in Canada/UK/Australia. All these countries are expensive, quality of work and pay is not good. I was getting 150K CAD in Canada, where I pay 2100 CAD as 1 BHK rent. In India, I make 90K CAD and 2 BHK rent is 400 CAD. To me, America has no replacement, that's why people dont want to leave the US. I was not willing to spend whole life waiting for green card, and other countries are no match for US. That's why came back to India fro second time, despite the issues here.

Lived in Canada entire life. If no change in Government next election, will do everything in my power to leave. Basic rights are gradually being taken away with new laws, cost of living means I will never be able to retire, and little support for public health. The cold weather makes life miserable.

This is such a badly researched report from BBC. The title of the video talks about citizenship applications dropping but they provide no data to back it up even if it's true. Then they only go to Punjab and talk to a student who left Canada before they became a PR. So that's irrelevant to the story. Then a chunk of the report is about the international student cap which in no way reduces current citizenship applications. The report should only concentrate on PRs leaving the country or choosing to not apply for citizenship. They only had one example of that in the whole video. Also interview PRs from other places other than Punjab. The story might be the same but it's good to know.

Canada doesn’t need immigrants

There is only ONE problem in Canada ??…Justin Trudeau

Well do that migrants like the outdoors? Are they interested in helping Canadian families and industry? If the answer is no, Canada never had anything to offer.

Is canada will not take immigrants seriously, it will fall drastically. Politicians and planners here are worst in the world. Canada is racist, it does not allow people to jokn their workforce as they know new immigrants are far more capable from them.

In Canada you stay poor after doing two jobs you own nothing only eat good if you don't buy car

I'm a PR working in Canada, and my parents visit me once every few years. During this recent visit, they really noticed Canadians are suffering from high prices and crazy housing compared to before. The government needs to act and come up with some effective policy.

TURD ? EAU has destroyed a beautiful country like Canada ??

Crazy that. They reduce the rights of the citizens to the point they might as well be British. They allow crime to skyrocket as you watch drug use become a public activity similar to San-Francisco. Its not the Canada i remember being in 10 years ago.

From the footage you’ve shown, I didn’t recognise it’s Canada. No wonder people were leaving. ?‍♀️?‍♂️?

Why would anyone want to live in Canada now day's

Much of what's wrong in Canada would also apply to Australia. I think NGOs like the WEF have interfered in business for years deliberately making them less competitive. That's been the plan since the 1950s. Collapse world economies for an easy takeover.

Living here for 15 years, I'm not sure what she is saying ....?you take any list on the internet on the top 10 countries to live in.. and Canada will be there?. This girl is just pulling shenanigans!!

It’s a trap! When canada dont need immigrant simply order to higher tax ?

In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become the North Korea of the western world.\n\nTheir are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.

Justin trudeau has made canada a haven for terrorists

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

All of Canada's current problems is caused by a certain communist in the prime minister's office since 2015.

I am sickened by all the negative comments and it further demonstrates exactly how they must feel in Canada, I would welcome them in a heart beat to live next door but we have a very small Muslim community and they would not feel comfortable here either. Best wishes and safe travels.

Molly talks about housing but housing in Canada are a million times better than the hovel/slums in India.
