I came to Toronto when I was 11. 43 years later, my wife and I are getting out. We are even looking at getting out of Ontario, possibly Canada. It is impossible to afford to live here, and jobs aren't available if you don't look too diverse... there are tons of empty boarded up stores increasingly in the GTA and it reminds me of parts of Buffalo in the early 80s. It has changed too much for me. Thanks for sharing, we realize we are not alone.

mimimimimimmii IM LEAVING CANADA - LOOK AT ME ! IM LEAVING ! mimimimimimim ... PFFFFF CRY MORE

& Yet, Canada Is Still One Of The Best Countries In The Entire World. We Complain Too Much? ?✌

Cost of living, especially houding, has gone up to ridiculous levels in Canada. With minimum wage jobs, how long can new immigrants put up with hardships?

No,quebec is the worst half of your paycheck is gone in taxes,parlement has stupid minister,school are not interresting, traffic is terrible,rent is high and the prime mister of canada dont get along with the prime of quebec,to many law are made just to leave your trace,

I agree you should leave Canada. Your options and belief's do not match with what the Majority of Canadians belief and want. Bye Bye

I came here as a teen in 90s, Canada is not the same anymore. I really don't know what to do

BREAKING! Growing Number Of Immigrants Are Deciding To Leave Canada! Why? Don't come to ?? False Promise?Total Nightmares More?Liars ???Hole Country, Wants your Money Have Nothing to Offers in Return ??

(I hope you read this)\nOkay i have a few suggestions, having lived my whole childhood in Oman i can confirm it’s a beautiful place but Arab country's higher education(college wise) is not that great therefore ,my family moved to India(our roots are Indian) because this being a reason. (Like a lot of families move from gulf countries to their south asian countries for college,having personally experienced as well as my cousins who lived in Jeddah and loads of other relatives)\n1. So pls look for muslim countries that offer good education otherwise you will have to send them again to UK USA Canada for good college.\n2. Abu Dhabi can be a option as well\n3. Saudi Arabia\n4.Qatar\n5. Turkey\n6. Schooling works differently in gulf countries, for example you have Indian schools that run on the CBSE pattern of India, Pakistani schools, Sri Lankan schools, International School with a British curriculum, International schools with American style curriculum, proper Native schools of that country that teach in Arabic.( Again this my experience in Oman, my cousins in Jeddah went to Indian school of Jeddah, so pls wisely choose the school that you want your children to attend)\n\n(this comment is just an opinion, hope it helps. May Allah make it easy for you )

the Canadian government has been covering up all weather reports about Canada being cold.... people have been duped... now that they know the truth about how cold it really is, they are leaving and moving to Florida and Bermuda

Salam saleh fam! Everything going on in Canada is not far fetched from America. I don’t blame you for leaving, those 5 reasons are perfectly understandable, please stay safe wherever you’re going. Cant wait to know where you’ll go

Q: What part of Northern Canada is habitable?\nA: Nunavut

Does this mean more Muslims will leave US, Canada and other western countries and go back to Muslim countries?

I respect your decision to leave Canada. You have to do what is right for you and your family. I am not religious but I believe that all peoe have the right to believe as they choose. I also find that Islam is one of the most peaceful, loving religions there is. I too am very unhappy with my government for standing by and supporting the genocide of Palastine. I support President Biden and he has done many wonderful things but the support Israel by my government and president makes me infuriated. It is wrong. My now 19 year old son,my mother who lives with us and myself are looking to move as well. We want some place with winter so we can sky, and snowboard and do all things we love without having to travel two states over. We will be looking to leave the country if Trump is reelected president. I wish you luck, love, and blessings and safe travels in your search for your new home.

Immigrants came to Canada and voted Liberal, which was an organization hell bent on destroying Canada.

Toronto votes Liberal so it drags itself along with the rest of Canada nto decline. Trouble is that the Toronto Liberals move to less Liberal areas and keep voting Liberal and bringing those areas into decline. \nYears ago i visited Toronto and was surprised to see an elderly man sleeping in a cardboard box in the rich financial district. Was surprised to see but I helped a blind man to a bus stop when the Toronto crowd ignored him.now you say it is worse.

Canada just needs immigrants to fill their minimum wage workplaces therefore if you are well educated in your own country you much better off staying out of Canada and move to some other country

Moved to Canada 6 months ago as a permanent residence and moving out ASAP!

Is there ANYTHING in Canada that isn't broken right now ? I feel for the Police and Immigration officials trying to process so many people, but the tide of negativity from so many Canadians on YT is incredible. We are faced with many of the same problems here in Australia, particularly on our East Coast, but I don't see the exodus of people who were born here. Interesting times ahead.

Do not blame TORONTO, only. CANADA has changed, too. It is a desperate situation. In name of cultural diversity, poverty has accelerated in the nation. If this situation persists , Canada will become a THIRD WORLD nation in a few decades.

Why and how the great, rich North America got to this state of misery in 21 century?! What are the real reasons? For example why in 21 century there are more mental disorder patients whom are not supported by a rich , resourceful government and eventually end up to the streets?! Why there was not such problem in 19 or 20 th centuries? How the society was taking care of them back then? Or, why when people lose their physical ability to work, there is not a system of permanent support for them? Why there are not enough houses built for those who have been disadvantaged for real reasons? I mean most of these homeless people are not addicted. A lot of them are willing to work and contribute to society, yet there are not enough support for getting them back to a normal lifestyle! Why rich governments are not making their countries a better , healthier, safer place for their citizens? But only having talks in wef conferences! It sounds all fishy and intentional to me. They should have come up with ways of solutions to end this. Yet we see it getting deeper and bigger. Isn’t it weird that over 350 000 people are homeless in a vast, rich country such as Canada?!

You missed lack of gun culture and universal health care, two important topics if you are going to talk about life in Canada…..

In my teens, early 20s (early 00's) i dreamed of emigrating to Canada and Toronto. It had beautiful nature, was clean, safe, nice people and a great standard of living. But seeing it now especially the big cities is really sad. Many countries have had major turn arounds (Colombia for instance) and hopefully Canada can get back to being a great place again. Love from the UK .

Di i am a fresher but want to move to canada so how can i find jobs over there i have no idea how can i so plz help me

That's the price you pay for following the US in whatever they do.\nHow about working towards Canada's own sovereign interest for a change?

I am French and considered moving to Canada but ... the geographic climate I can take, the political one? It ain't anything better than Macron I fear.

Canada is not a prosperous country for any individual, no matter if you immigrated or were born here. High taxes, mismanagement from all levels of Government has severely impacted the quality of life of every person living in Canada. When a mass evacuation of Canadians is at it's highest in 73 years than something is amiss. Sad but it is Canada's reality, it's no longer the country it once was.

I WOULD NOT WANT TO LIVE THERE BUT LOVE TO VISIT CANADA SO NOW AND THEN. IT IS A BEAUTIFULL COUNTRY WHICH NEEDS TO SOLVE MANY PROBLEMS. I VISITED CANADA TWICE

Hello MAMEE. Thanks, it is still better in Canada than to be in India. ???.

Housing crisis is manufactured. The problem is not of cities not growing, they are, but the real issue is that the places between the cities such as in central Canada are vastly undeveloped. Why crowd out existing cities when entire new ones could be created? It's really a management issue. As for other things it's way too risky to be a small business. Everything is overly taxed on every level. Money was worth nothing for the last ten years so demand for housing went up. Owners won't rent because the laws are on the tenants side. Crime is up because nobody feels secure in their futures. Inflation needs to be pulled to zero so that some stability can be established, the debt and deficits need to be eliminated.

God you're so gorgeous. Just stunning.I wish you would leave Canada and come to US , so I can marry you

Canada is good for citizenship and then migrating to the US for better opportunities and weather.

Sharia law will prevail in all Europe, Canada and the U.S.A. as the Muslim population grows.

All this video has covered is the SYMPTOMS, not the root of the problem.\nThe reality is CANADA is not and has never been a real country.\nIt is a region above the USA owned by about 5 banks and their partners. (Insurance giants, real estate giants, and Gordon food services)\n\nThe government is owned by those banks too. \n\nWhat you see unraveling now is simply every big banks wet dream for real.

Canada is a failed state where you have zero rights

GET RIDDANCE OF BAD RUBBISH! Cost money and big trouble! It is expensive in Canada but we make big money! I retired from Canada and the United States and get more money than I can spend! When I am dead, my cask will be made of gold!??????

Malcontents everywhere shit on their own country. Canada is a great and safe place to live and raise a family. It would be even better if we didn't have as many MAGA wannabes in politics. Emulating the Trumps, Farages, Wilders, and Le Pens of the world is not the route to prosperity … unless of course, you're already wealthy and wish to become even wealthier at the expense of everyone else.

With 9 month of experience, I am truly considering going back to my country, here you cannot get a job related to the degree that you have even having 3 years experience with. They will pay the lowest in the low despite the Glassdoor average salary. Add on the high living cost and complex extremely long hiring process, there is no good career path and is all about survival. Sorry to say, but when locals are struggling, I don’t understand why asking foreigners to come… Pretty much many of us and locals are so disappointed+angry+frustrating, this country drain all my saving, I come here to work, not purely let Canada eating all my money. And yes, they said value education, but a degree will not let you to get an entry admin job cus they expected Master degree, lasting many of their systems and 10 years experience. Moreover, if you don’t have a car, the job will not consider you no matter it is an entry position.

Canada is one of the only country's in the world with reverse immigration. Let that sink in.

Its not the Canada I grew up in i don't relate to it anymore ?\nToronto sucks and the municipal and federal government sucks ?

Who the hell wants to move to canada? Its cold as hell and its a clown dictatorship ?

I just secured a long term visa in Thailand, glad im leaving, born in Ottawa Canada, and can say I can't stand it here any longer.

When you’re brining millions of people from countries that are heavily underperforming , they bring their poor habits , culture and mindset to our country. Canada is quickly becoming the country they are trying to “save” those people from. By bringing more immigrants from third world countries, Canada is quickly getting that third world feel. What happens when you give people with third world mentality the opportunity to perform in decision making roles in your job sector, there would be a quick culture shift and that shift in culture is generally to eastern norms, the very reason they are fleeing those countries to migrate to a western society. Yes I said it, Canada is slowly but surely becoming like a eastern crap hole.

Canada is such a beautiful place, there for everyone to enjoy. Canada, oh Canada, you are the best place in the world. A shining beacon for the rest of the world to adapt and become like.

Canada isn't a country. It's just colony of England. Queen of England is head of the government.

USA should should take lessons form Canada towards migrants.

We immigrated to Canada to create a life we would not have been able to have back home. However, not only did we not obtain a better life, we lost the opportunities that we would have had back home if we had stayed there. We came here to be able to buy property, to have secure employment in the fields that we were trained for. We came here to have better medical care. At this point, to see a doctor, we prefer to fly back home and to get diagnosed and treated there because of the long wait times and doctors who are reluctant to prescribe tests and are just passive. They just care about the paperwork they need to complete instead of diagnosing and treating patient. We immigrated to lower our stress levels but they doubled and tripled due to debts, the risk of being laid off or fired so easily . I work 10 hours a day, but I live in conditions that a jobless person is living. The salary I earn does not help me improve my life and to buy a house and to generally improve. The issue is that Canada is being dangerously overrated and is being marketed for what is not true. Hopefully with social media the realities will get out and reach people.

If you were born in Canada and lived here all your life, things don't look good anymore. If you are immigrating from a 3rd world country, this is still heaven. Like most Westerners, Canadians are spoiled in manyy ways. So as soon as something gets bellow their expectations, they start crying, and complainig. For newcomers, this is not an issue because no matter how 'bad' Canada is, it's still better than the place they came from.

Which market sells ghee in Canada except Indian stores ????

Canada has been destrovery quickly. This is only the beginning they thrive on bringing in crime corruption.
