Why Are People Leaving Canada? 🇨🇦

Is this the HARSH REALITY of CANADA?! https://youtu.be/g_O44UBwIeg

I left Canada (Toronto) December 2022. I had a dream job, I could pay my crazy high rent, car loan and stupid high car insurance, but that was it, nothing left. I felt like I could never accomplish anything or take a break. 1 mistake in life and I could end homeless, even though I felt I was doing things right. My friends were living the same struggle even though we were educated and had good jobs. I packed my bags and moved with my cat to Latin America and I am happy with my decision.

My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in Canada.

Born Canadian , lived there all my life, and left the country 2 years ago now. My husband and our 2 toddlers , sold everything and have zero regrets. We’ll never return, not even to visit. I’m disgusted with the government and the people. Not all but most.

My wife and I left Canada in 2017 and started a family in Costa Rica. We have zero regrets about our decision. Everything we care about (healthcare, child care, education, affordability) is better for us here. I honestly can't think of a single thing we miss about our former home. To anyone who feels stuck: do whatever you have to (sell everything, beg, borrow, steal), and travel for 1 year. See what the rest of the world is like. Your perspective will never be the same, and you will find a better way of living.

I'm 60, I worked hard all my life. I never had enough money to invest and my job doesn't have a pension plan. I had children to raise and didn't have the money to buy a house when they were cheap. I finally bought a condo 3 months before the interest rate went up and the banker suggested I took a variable rate loan. We sold our Condo because our payments only covered the intersts. I have no pension and no investments, no house, I asked the government how much I would get each year when I reach 65, they said 20k per year. My wife is a new Canadian citizen so she will not get anything. We will be living two, in a 1500$ rent appartement on 20k per year. We will starve. We are leaving Canada. Canada has become a country where if you do not have a union job or a government job, you will waist your life away, paying for the privileged group who live plush lives with deluxe pension plans.

It's so depressing to see what Canada has become right now. I thought it was a perfect country and i wanted to move there now i have changed my mind.

There's not a single day without a new video like this popping up.

no question.. "Canada isn't what it used to be", and the reason is Justin Trudeau

Prosperity is too hard to come by in Canada! We have bad government in Canada 🇨🇦. It’s too Left and it’s Bad! Trudeau is I good example of bad government.

I arrived to Canada in 2020, to work as a sr engineer, had at that time 10 years of work experience and i can communicate fairly well in english, now I’m back in Mexico with a job that has a higher benefits and payment. these were the reasons that i moved out of the country: When i arrived i couldn’t buy a car, getting a driving licence was a nightmare and i felt that lack of freedom about buying a car, i had good driving experience here in Mexico but that wasn’t enough, my money was thrown to cab drivers. Very bad health care attention, me and my wife lost a baby due lack of gynaecologist at ER, i was pissed off like hell, because my dad is a gynaecologist back in Mexico, however he couldn’t help, also my wife endured discriminating treatment in hospital. Low wages, i started earning 68,500 annual CAD, that didn’t cover my needs the same as when i was living back in Mexico. Bad treatment in company: While my wife was pregnant was too hard to move around the city, not a single support from the company on this matter, which put me in an stressful situation. The employer never recognized the job of doing overtime, I’ve worked as an slave for year and a half, sometimes not having rest a single day during the week, and working 80 hour per week. Doing every duty in the factory. Lack of freedom, during COVID: no need to say much about this. Here in Mexico I’m doing the equivalent of 82.6k CAD which gives me and my family a very good quality life, my parents are close to us and assist on any need we have on medical matter, also health care is covered with no limit. The only thing i can think is a good thing about Canada is their maple syrup, i will miss it Thanks Mexico

The state of Canada is SAD. This is what happens when people dont take a stand or do anything.

I’m a dual citizen, born in North Vancouver, raised in California. I decided to move to Canada and lived in Vancouver, BC 2016 to 2023. I just moved back to the states as Canada did not provide me what I thought would be my forever home filled with community and opportunity. It was the exact opposite and I have to admit, the last two years was really a reality check as to how I would never be a fit nor make headway in my career. I took a 40% payout for a job I had over 15 years experience. And with no raise in sight. One thing that really struck me was how insular and unfriendly people were in my neighborhood and building. The people I bonded with mostly were American, British and Australian ex pats. The housing crisis and cost of living is unsustainable. I gave Canada 7 years and I feel this is a good try. I’m glad I’m back in the states and now am starting all over in my business and forming community here. So long, Canada 🇨🇦 I am so glad I was able to visit every province during my 80 day road trip across Canada. It’s a breathtakingly beautiful country. I’m glad I had the experience to live abroad and having two citizenships has its benefits.

I have been working as a Settlement Worker with newcomers to Canada for the last 20 years. Recently arrived newcomers (last 10 years and more recent doing worse) are not integrating well. For all of the factors this video mentions. I also see newcomer families returning to their countries in increasing numbers. The Canada brand is not what it used to be. I am an immigrant and my uncle came here in 1969. Back then you could save and buy a house and progress if you worked hard. People braved the inclement weather and sacrificed for a few years but it was worth it in the end. Not any more. Canada is losing its attraction in competing for immigrants with other countries around the world. Also, other negative factors in Canada are that 40 % of Canadians will get cancer, we are the highest country int he world for MS, one out of 5 Canadians have a mental issue. We have the lowest doctors per population ratios in the G7 countries. We have one of the highest internet prices in the world. Now the newcomers i try to help pay 2000 a month for a 1 bedroom apt. They have to work two jobs and see their family very little. i have written an article in the Star about how i feel about increased immigration and newcomers being exploited by corporate Canada and international students as cash cows by private colleges and universities. the article i wrote is called "our system is setting immigrants and canadians up for failure". google it if interested. thanks once again for this video, i wish you all the best.

I’m from the Philippines and I am planning to move to Canada. I have numerous relatives living the canadian dream but they embarked their immigration journey a long time ago. Comparing how it was before to now I’ve noticed a lot has changed. Now I’m having second thoughts if I should continue. Life here in the Philippines is also difficult. Living paycheck to paycheck yes but it seems like in canada it’s just the same.

Fundamental problems in Canada. 1. Intrusive nanny state 2. Low wages vs cost of living 3. Astronomical taxes 4. Scarcity of housing 5. Most employment is part time and low wages.

I'm a 53-year-old man, born and raised in British Columbia. The public health care system here on Vancouver Island, (V.I.H.A) drugged my ex-wife for years with anti-depressants which have destroyed her. The same doctor on this island called MCFD on false report when I was asking what was happening to my wife, and they took my then 11-year-old honor roll student, top athlete, loved by all, happy, and said I had abused my wife which was never true, nor ever police called. I lost everything and ended up in a homeless shelter for 3 years with nobody and nothing, and severe depression over my daughter who was my soul... Making people sick is the big business here on the island..., they give addicts places to use, pipes to smoke it with, programs which don't help them to be put in etc.... that was 2017, then just before I finally got out of the shelter came COVID. THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS DESTROYED EVERYTHING I EVER HAD OR CARED ABOUT. BECAUSE OF DRUGS AND MONEY. NO LAWYER WOULD HELP ME.

I am Canadian and I love Canada. I can deal with the high cost of living. I live in New Brunswick and the cost of housing here is still fairly affordable. We have 4 very distinct seasons which I actually love. However, what I can no longer live with is the erosion of my freedom. Medical tyranny and forced vaccination is where I draw the line.

I lived in Canada for 12 years, from 2008 to 2020. I'm extremely gratefull of all what Canada offered me during my time there. It's all about having a better financial life along with professional growth for the future. But after seen the amount of taxes I was charged with (Federal and Provincial) and the level of income that didn't grow much during my time in Quebec, I decided to move to California. Living expenses in Californi are higher than Montreal, not too much higher, but salaries in California are a way higher than Montreal, for the same job I did in Montreal, I'm making 3.25 times more in California, and cost of living is not as higher as 3.25 times. And taxes are a way lower. In Canada my professional career didn't grow at all, I saw local younger French Canadians being promoted faster than me.

We are Canadian living in New Zealand, wanted to return to Canada but hearing the warning through people like you. Thank you
