Immigrants interviewed by March Leger, showed that less than 2% that are not planning to seek canadian citizenship. These are their reasons:\n\nHigh cost of application.\nRampant immigration from regressive culture countries.\nExcessive government taxing.\nNeeds private healthcare system along side universal system.\nBetter health care in home country.\nBecoming a communist country.\nJustin Trudeau.\nNo significant differences between citizenship and PR.\n\nThese reasons for not seeking citizenship are personal and nuanced from their experiences in our country. I hope some day Canada is great for all of those who live here.

Canada takes advantage of new comers

They keep their citizenship, leave Canada... and the minute they need medical care, or a welfare cheque, they return.

Because Canada is going down the Trudeau toilet

Canada is a country that squeezes life out of hardworking immigrants. Nobody is taking about the massive wealth transfer immigration is facilitating, by making immigrants indebted by buying inflated assets.

They got their “free” healthcare and an escape route if things go sour. That’s all anyone comes to Canada for.

The number of immigrants is increasing, but the infrastructure is not commensurate with the increase of people in Canada. For 30 years or more, no bridges, highways, or streets have been built, and even the infrastructure has not been developed.

One more disgusting issue, among many others, is that why should Canada pay for the cost of war in Ukraine ??\nDid we; Canadians caused that war ?????

I moved to England this year and it costs a lot more to live than Canada. I don’t know what Canadians are complaining about. I already regret leaving Canada! Gas prices here are like 290.4 and a 1 bedroom apartment for $2,800/month but it is also London and London’s expensive.

The racism of Affirmative Action and hostility towards Jews and Christians are reasons to leave Canada.

Despite the inflations, I can't ever see myself leaving Canada. I've lived on Vancouver Island my whole life. I don't know how I would possibly adjust in a whole new country full of people I don't know! It's hard enough moving to another city. ??‍?

It’s too expensive. It’s hard to buy a house. Even if immigrant s today work hard save money, it’s not like it was in old days, where it was reasonable to buy a house. And many did. But house prices ten times higher then old days. The cold weather’. Maybe. Probably some rascism. Maybe discrimination. America and Canada you pretty much have to be wealthy to live on these countries.

many people can't afford to survive in their home country and then they arrive in Canada and realize they can barely do it here either.

Credentialing of the educational status of the immigrants is a very big challenge. People spend good time and money to earn degrees,in other countries but all of a sudden they become zero in canada.....\nHousing has become a big gamble for Canadian policymakers, and builder mafia and the crown land...immigrants bring huge sums of money and even then cannot afford a reasonable house in canada...\n..now the new rental building plan .of the Canadian government is another challenge for the immigrants and will decrease interest of the new immigrants

Canada is the new india ??

A majority of tradesmen and labourers are set to retire in the next 5 years so immigration will definitely benefit Canada as a whole. It will create economic growth and also fill the giant gap in the labour force due to the boomer gen retiring (they make up 70 percent of the laboir force) and a younger population who are becoming less interested in labour intensive jobs. .

To survive in Canada, you need to be good at English only and have some bluffing skills rather than technical skills. Ya, English skill is 99.999% of sucess factor, nothing else, believe me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn’t this a paradise for people from India or Europe who are good at English? Even students of Univ. do not know how to solve the math problem of differentiation or integral....\nI don't know if people has good idea of philosophy of life, culture, or history. It's a country where people don't think about anything other than how to eat hamburgers and how to play games. Shopping, work, eating, sleeping, which are alll for the life, where is Canada....Totally got sick, Falling leaves, OMG !

Not rocket science………one Winter in Canada makes up their mind.

Outsourcing impacted badly on Canadian citizens. Those people come on work permit, day one they've job and the one who is Canadian and the victim of outsourcing, they've to search for the job and the worst thing before leaving the job you have to trained those outsourced people, they are 90% from India who hardly speak proper English. Is it fair for Canadian? And the people on work permit they can apply for citizen after certain amount of time. That's why people saying soon it become Canindia no more Canada. \nWhat is this rubbish? What happen to our children when they come in the job market.

Gee, let me list all the reasons why immigrants would be leaving Canada:\n- Justin Trudeau. \n- Unprecedented encroachment by the government on individual rights and freedoms.\n- Over immigration. \n- Uncontrolled illegal immigration\n- High cost of living, including food, energy, and housing.\n- Low wages.\n- Broken healthcare system.\n- MAID\n- Open drug use in our cities and near schools.\n- Increase in violent crime in major urban centers.\n- Idiotic LGBTQ and sex education taught in primary schools.\n- Ahistorical narratives taught in schools, emphasizing Canada's past as a racist and genocidal country.\n\nEven if I could leave Canada, there's no Western nation that isn't going to Hell. But, I guess it's better than living in a war zone.

All countries oversell their benefits. Canada by far the worse. And mass immigration will create massive crimes and issues which are already turning us into a 3rd world country.

Federal Liberals destroyed Canada not just for the born and raised but for the immigants also. Thats very pathetic!!?

Canada needs more drugs and gangs . Prostitution is only starting to boom. Not enough handguns and robbery on the streets yet.

woah, woah, woah...you're telling me, people who originally didn't live in Canada, moved to Canada but then moved out because it's too expensive and they couldn't make enough money?

So they want canadian pension....ok....what will canada do abput that

Nurse here came to Canada, unable to practice there so I moved south.. Im in the US now on greencard status

Lots of Canadian immigrants end goal is just to immigrate elsewhere like the US. It's easier to go from Canada to the US than it is compared to wherever they originally came from.

Hmmm not surprising Trudeau took over at the end of 2015 and Canada's Immigration Retention index placing dropped from 9th in 2016 to 15th in 2021! But of course it's the best talented ones that have something to offer that will leave and we're being overrun with less skilled ones from 3rd world countries that Trudeau lets in by the hundreds of thousands helping him turn this country into a disaster. We need to get back to less immigration and more selective with high skilled immigrants more compatible with our society like Europe, US, Commonwealth countries.

Happy without canada?

Naw freeloaders are staying in Canada \nHard working immigrants will leave

The ones who come legally and work are leaving.. the indigent economic migrants are staying. Canada has a problem .

Trudeaunomics has made Canada a place to escape from. This is the worst, most corrupt and most incompetent government we’ve ever had.

Remember their names.\nIf Canada goes back to the way it was, they are not allowed back. \nThis is not just a vacation destination like some seem to think.

*Trudeau wanted 1.3 million immigrants. So, for his administration to realize the impact of their terrible handling of the country, Canada needs to lose more immigrants than it takes in.*

Im getting ripped off with interest rates and I wanna leave Canada as well

Immigration died in the 70s. After that they were refugees who bled Canada to death. Collected a Canada pension and brought it back to where they were from.

High housing cost, non recognition of foreign education lack of housing Canada no thank you, I won’t be part of CPP pyramid supporter with bleak future

Why leave Canada? Where else can you get trampled by horsemen and have your bank account frozen? What is there not to like about Canada?

who will stay when high living cost with cheap pay?......stupid govt spoiled Canada

Not sure how mich greener they need, considering that Canada was chosen 2nd best nation in the world... again... this year...

Canada cant bring in anymore immigrants. We have no jobs here. Canadians dont have work. As you can see Canadians cant affod housing either. A tent is not a home.\nWe have to stop bringing Canadians to Canada for 5 years.\nWe need to build up this country. Not down this country.

US problens leaking into canada

The Canadian government is killing people also by not letting them leave Canada. 2000/year, 16,000 people in 8yrs. The government still doesn't see it as a humanitarian issue. People will do what they need to to survive , EXCAPE a country.

Its funny when people talk about the quality of Canadian health care. For example, BC Cancer is one of the best in the world. Canada is on the cutting edge of many health care procedures. Yes, its hard to get a primary care physician but that is because the US is throwing enormous amounts of cash at Canadian doctors and nurses. Canada still keeps up pretty darn well especially when considering Canada has only a FRACTION of the US population and much fewer resources and funds available. My family has never suffered from our health care system in the past 60 years. 1 family member had a quadruple bypass - no bills 2) cancer - no bills 3) emergency c-section w air transport to city 400 mils away - $360 for air ambulance 4) emergency appendectomy - no bills 5) Heart atttack w stint - no bill 6) MRI and CATscans - No bills 6) 3 ADHD diagnosis w mental health care support - no bills 7) industrial accident with crushed hand - no bills 8) Electrical accident with burns throughout body - no bills 9) burns from an oil fire - no bills 10) fall into fire pit w subsequent 3rd degree burns on leg - no bills 11) leg amputation from type 1 diabetes - no bills. And then there are all the little things that happen day to day. In each event, we received top notch care and services. So, you might earn more in the US but we save more in Canada and very few suffer from it. A lot of complaints? Most bad experiences are shared whereas positive ones are not. I think if people on both sides really looked, the US health care fails many more people per capital on a daily basis than in Canada. US insurers are known to abandoned people when they become overly expensive and its not unusual to not have choices in drugs or care options.

Canada will start turning the ship around once they vote Turdeau out of office

anyway many are started returning from US AND CANADA ?

Hopefully these channel is going to help me to my Canada journey

Thanks bro! Can one seek asylum through legal aid in canada? T

You decided to take admission in third class institution because you do not have merit to secure admission in reputed universities in Canada. \nIf you are trying to get into Canada through shady means, don't expect things to all cozy for you.

Good morning family. Please I joined an upcoming conference in Canada in which I was approved of it but I want to know if it is legit. How can 8 know if it's legit or not?
