Assalamualaikum, i'm your new subscriber, admire you guys a lot for sacrificing the comfort living in Canada for the sake of humanity. If i may suggest you to go check my country Indonesia or my neighbor Malaysia. You can hear calling for pray 5x a day, mosques are everywhere, halal food also everywhere. A lot of choice of education for your children, generally or Islamic ones. And most important thing is the people and government against genocide. We don't have any diplomatic relationship and never acknowledge the state of IsNotReal. Also 1 more thing, living cost here is relatively low compare to Canada or any other countries. Well good luck guys, will follow your journey from this moment on ????

Congratulations on your decision to leave Canada. I heard great things about UAE. It seems to me the nicest of countries. Good luck where you settle.❤️

I didn't know Canada is getting that bad.\nU.S. is getting very , very ...dangerous.\n I just said that to my family ....that if it gets very bad in U.S. we may have to escape to another country temporarily.

Why do immigrants receive better health care & benefits than long term residents & tax payers in Canada?

How come they are Canadians and homeless ,while people from Africa and India are travelling everyday to Canada to work and live , I don't understand this ...

You are so so lucky that you realised so quickly that Canada is a wholly false dream. You and your husband were wise to have found out the truth about real life in Canada. Many many others fell into the same trap and guess what, they are now finding it extremely difficult to leave Canada. In the meantime, their friends in India are doing far far better than those who left for Canada.

Exactly!!!!! Canada is doing that encouraging Palestinians coming here, it seems humanitarian help, but in reality is drag them out of Gaza

Justin Trudeau’s Canada, ladies and gentlemen

Real Canadians need to take a stand here. The likes of Pakistanis and Khalistanis are propagators of Terrorism, drugs and religion fanaticism. You really need to get Trodeau out and get a Right aligned govt. Otherwise Canada is doomed.\nAll over the Democratic world, a Right movement is needed, otherwise this act of trying to be nice will be the doom of their cultures.

If you’re Black in Canada ?? then come to Vancouver or Toronto, it is much better in those cities.\nYeah I don’t like Edmonton and the weather in Edmonton is not good.

it is forcing Canadians to leave Canada as well

How many people are leaving Canada? I bet no one can find a number. ?

Good articulation by the host. Immigrants arriving in Canada in the 1950s and 1960s were lucky as house prices in large cities were cheap then. Those started some small businesses can own few houses then.

Hello from Montreal, it’s totally unfortunate that the country never planned for a population increase. Land is so expensive to even consider building low cost housing etc. There are other places to live in Canada other than Toronto and Vancouver but I do understand the high costs of living. But aren’t all countries having the same problem? Good luck to everyone.

Compared to America, being a disabled person in Canada is a dream. I lived in TO without a car for 5 years. You can't do that in the USA. Ever. Taxes are lower as there is an ancient infrastructure which is never updated (see Florida Condo meltdown, Texas power grid failure 2021). You spend hours in traffic as there is almost no public transportation. There are few or no environmental regulations so our country is beyond polluted. Rivers literally catch fire. Foreign companies bribe our officials (at least Canada has acknowledged this as a problem) so citizens can't get justice. Life expectancy in America fell sharply in 2020. It fell again in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic certainly played a role, but that’s not the whole story. During this same time period, eight of the ten leading causes of death also increased. Even maternal and child and adolescent mortality increased. In August 2022, federal health officials released new data showing that across all demographic groups, Americans are dying younger. Welcome to the USA!

Every body like Canadian eh! Even the chinese are lined up to come to Canada.

I moved to Europe..Canada's a shitshow for the next decade

There are two major political parties in Canada: the Conservatives and the Communists.

Canada is the North Korea of the Americas disguise on sheep clothes!

hang on a sec. 800K-900K house looks quite cheap. you will rarely see 1M dollars house in Asia such as Singapore, Seoul, Hong Kong and so on. you will need easily 2-3M dollars. the rental doesn’t look super expensive in Canada, either. which countries are cheaper than Canada unless you want to downgrade? if you think Canada is expensive, you will see other countries are crazy expensive. so stay there.

Political correctness is the most unattractive side of Canada. Nice people becoming victims of their need to please loud idiots.

canada must close its borders again.

I want to move to Canada from the US..will someone swap with me?

i live in canada for 40 years and i am from hong kong\nif not because of my children i left canada 10 years ago\nbut now i rather stay here due to the yellow people are still dominating hk\nand i would not allow the yellow education keep brain washing my kids

Canada went Woke and becomes Broke.

I earn only $75,000 USD per year and my wife earns around $50,000 USD per year and in Kingston JA we live really good house already fully paid off. Thought about moving to Canada and after lots of research and doing the math I realize that we were living better than 80% of Canadians. Many people from the Caribbean are running to Canada and I am clueless as to why.

Canada is losing it's middle class in order to cater to the richest of the rich... diversify Canada damn...spread the wealth around to all levels of business. Canada has a high failure rate for small business...100k less are starting businesses then from th 70s.

Don't come to Canada and esp, Toronto! It is literally turning into a city of garbage, drug addicts, crime, homeless. The city is doing NOTHING to alleviate these problems and turning the city roads into construction mayhem where people are facing noise, traffic jam, and public transit never runs properly. So, don't come to Canada, esp Toronto.

Please, how can I get in touch with the Japa system. I'm planning of coming to Canada n I want to use the Japa system

Canada is mot unique to these problems, there all over the planet. The grass is not always greener on the other side, far from it. We have a lausy prime minister, however; not for much long. For those wo want to run away, best of luck. I will not.

Canada is broken thanks to the current government! I would never vote liberals as long as tredooo is there

Trudeau will bring afganistans and palesitians reffugess to be slave there , i think they would live in Canada worse then in own countries

I wanted to move to Canada 20 years ago. After visiting a few times in the last five years or so, I'm glad I didn't. I love the people and the land, but government and the economy are more insane than here in the US.

I lived in the USA for many years and Canada has many good points.\nFree health care, lower crime, less guns, less poverty, I get the feeling that this is a conservative hit job

I'm am leaving Canada after 6 years here, going to central Europe: Higher salaries, stronger currency, way more PTO, more sick days, lower taxes, also free health insurance but way shorter waiting times, less crime, the cities aren't filled with drug zombies and homeless encampments, etc. etc.

Canada is in ruins (I’m Canadian). We need a stable government run by adults.

Noone wants to live in Canada anymore because spineless liberals sold this country down the river while telling everyone with a straight face the cons did it. 44 billion dollars spent on Ontario Healthcare this year, a budget decided by the premier, and liberals are complaining about the state of the Healthcare system. Have you ever heard of a time when 44 billion dollars went into one provinces Healthcare system for one year? \n\nNewsflash: it didn't give us the great healthcare system 44 billion dollars would have because most of that money had to be funneled into paying off liberal policy expenses. Then the same people will tell you Doug Ford is responsible.\n\nYeah Doug Ford is responsible for a sustained overspending effort by the liberals, and especially so when he had to pay their debts. Liberal debts just aren't necessary to pay I suppose, unless you're conservative. Liberals currently have no plan even because they realize their voters are hateful, spiteful people who will cut off their nose to spite their face so the plan is sink the upcoming conservative government in debt and come back in 8 years pretending to not have been the original problem.

I dont know much about Canadian quality, but i do know Air Canada was the worst airline ive ever been on.

Canada is a place for tourists to spend their money instead of living for average people.

In my province healthcare is ostensibly nonexistent. Wait times at ER's are well over 12 hours and you're often directed to go home without ever seeing a doctor. \nThere is an extreme deficit of doctors. I've been waiting 6 years for one and there are people who have waited much longer with no relief in sight. \nHousing is unaffordable. A decent (nothing special) one bedroom 1 bath apartment is around 1600 a month and this is a largely rural province, not a metropolitan city. \nHomes are being bought as fast as they go on the market at extremely inflated prices by people moving here to escape the more populated provinces. This has raised property taxes by 20% in the last 2 years.\nThe economy is in shambles. Homelessness is exploding and the government seems uninterested in fixing it in any realistic or helpful way.\nFederal and provincial income taxes are nearly 50% of your income (44% for me and a bit more for my wife). So, what money you do make you get to keep a little more than half.\nElectricity is about 3 times what it is in the US and the rate here is increasing by 29% over the next 3 years.\nGroceries are unreasonably expensive and becoming more pricey by the day. Provincial sales tax is 15% on top of those groceries as well. \nThis is a short list of a few of the more glaring issues but there are far more. Canada has transformed over the last 5 years into a place I hardly recognize anymore. If something isn't done about it soon we'll be living in a third world country by 2030.

True but with little bit increase in pay countries like gulf are ok in all aspects in fact even asean countries in all aspects especially weather ,people ,spending , nature, etc but people feel a fake proudness when it comes to uk USA Canada or Australia ??

I moved back to Canada after years moving up the executive ladder. Came to Canada to find it a parochial backwater. Sadly having a child kept me here. I've left again and couldn't be happier! Beware the Canadian lie. Its a frozen provincial burg.

Yes, it is best to say good bye if you are not happy here in Canada. Hope you find a better fit elsewhere. ?

It's only a matter of time before huge chunks of Canada get absorbed into the US.

canada is tax tax and tax. And they just create new tax, it 's called Carbon tax.

Why does no one (other than the Chinese) want to live in Canada? That is an easy one. (Justin T?urdhole) and his policies.

I agree, but come on, u are from Iran, probably the worst country for a woman on earth, u shouldn't be saying that Canada sucks.

The situation is crazy pretty much everywhere when it comes to housing prices, and all the Western countries are suffering more than the others with Canada probably the most inflated.

I never thought about the reason why Canada would allow the monopolies, and your explanation makes sense (it doesn't make sense we pay this much for groceries though ?). Your explanation about the housing market also makes a lot of sense, thank you for sharing these ideas with us. And yes, I decided to leave Canada after a year ?
