All your reasons are the same reasons me and my husband want to leave Germany. Both of us were born here. Grew up here, but the stance what German Politicians are taking and how they are pushing the people here to hate on Muslims is insane. I always faced racism as a brown kid, as Germans in the 90s were super racist. My parents fled a genocide and ethnic cleansing themselves. So they thought at least we kids would grow up happy and safe here. Never felt home and at peace in this country. Ironic when you think how they are obsessed here with rules and laws. This war let us realise that these laws are being applied selectively. And so we made the decision to save up our money for the next 2- 3 years and as soon my husband finishes his higher education we are going to leave this country for good.

You are lucky to have winter.. i live and grow up in malaysia.. i never experience cold weather in my life.. i hope i can have enough money to travel overseas

May Allah Subhaanahu Wa Taala protect you guys, may He make this hijra easy for you, may He grant you what you seek, may He make you and your chilren from the ones He loves, Aameen! I am from Pakistan and can't ever imagine leaving my country to go live in foreign lands. Alhamdullilah, I feel very safe here. It is a Muslim country, alhamdullilah, although there is a major class of citizen coming up here who'd like it to be more 'open minded' like the West. May Allah protect us from that day. I would suggest that you move to Saudi Arabia, preferably into or around Makkah or Madinah. I believe that these two are the best cities in the world for Muslims. Imagine saying your five daily prayers in Masjid-e-Haraam or Masjid-e-Nabawi! You kids could study there and grow up speaking and understanding Arabic like Arabs. Imagine the understanding and appreciation they'd have of the Quran and Hadith moreover, they'd be able to reap benefits from the work of all major scholars. InshaaAllah. BUT, on the other hand, you guys are Allah's workers there in Canada. You could do dawah, spread Allah's word (you're doing that beautifully already). You'd be doing what the messengers of Allah did. Think of it this way, if you leave, there'll be one less family supporting Palestine and the Islamic way of life in Canada. Maybe, Allah wants someone like you to represent Him there. Allahu Aalam. There's this beautiful piece of Urdu poetry by Syed Sadiq Hussain, it goes something like this ' Tundi-e-baad-e mukhalif se na ghabraa ae uqaab --- Yeh to chalti hai tujhay ooncha uranay ke liye!' translation:- Do not fear the strength of the head-winds (opposing wind) O' eagle -- it but blows only to help you soar higher! All I'm saying is that there's another way of looking at your dilemma. You guys are like a small, bright light in a dark night and can help lost travelers reach safety. Cheesy, I know. Do Istikhara, let Allah give you His suggestion. Follow it and you can never go wrong innshaaAllah. What ever you decide, our dua'a are with you, uhhibukum fi'llah. Wassalam Wa Rahmah!!

I always felt I would be happy living in the west and my plan was to migrate to canada or Australia one day. Now that I have children of my own I will not replace the middle east with anywhere else. In today's world I want my kids to grow up In a Muslim country away from the west and filth there

Take away Their benefits and send them to work. Hatred is growing towards those brainwashed freaks. Millions of Brits are really getting pissed off with them.

If you want to be independent & grow personally consider going to North America, but if you want to be dependent to everyone else & have an easy life, stay inside India only.

MashaAllah, u guys r such an amazing couples and parents. I know this is not an easy decision, but Allah is with u and I really stand and look up to u. Every parent knows what is best for their children and families. I live in Pakistan 2. Me and my brother were born in US to Pakistani parents. My mom didn't want to leave US but my dad said there is no religious environment there plus our whole family lives in Pakistan and didn't want us to grow there. Our apartment owner who was Christian was not letting us go. He said that u guys r such an amazing people, good Muslims, nice to everyone and take Care for everyone. It was really hard for both of my parents but Allah made it easy for us. My mom passed away when I was 18 and my brother 15 and I really miss her. My option is u can guys move to Pakistan. U can get Islamic education + Islamic environment. No matter how bad our politics, government doesn't care about Its own country and no cleanliness but I still love Pakistan. I really respect you guys for making such a hardest decision with strength. I really support you guys with this decision. Just don't mind I was just giving an advice that Pakistan is way better but it is totally up to u guys which country u like to make your better life. But where ever u guys go, u are all always in my prayers even our brothers and sisters in Gaza. May Allah bless u all with his blessings, protect your family from evil eyes, fill your life with joy, happiness,love and peace and May Allah make this journey and life easy for u and hereafter. ❤ Your family and especially your little kids

It's definitely not warmer but the State of Minnesota now broadcasts the call to prayer all times of day, year round and they have a very large, and growing, Muslim population/community... Obviously that doesn't solve the winter problem but there are the great lakes which are great for summer beach days!

Growing up I occasionally thought about living somewhere else , as I got older I realised that I could never leave Scotland

Funny point..when corporations are allowed to grow into monopoistic entities, they begin to tell government what to do; this is fascism.

When Islam weighs more in the balance of power than English citizenship, then English citizenship will be condemned to convert to Islam or otherwise sign the Dima, becoming a semi-slave paying jisia and other humiliations, or die, this is not a speculation. , it is not a possibility, nor a theoretical conjecture, the vision of Islam is world domination by violent means, when doctrinal persuasion does not work, this purpose has 5 stages and many nations in Europe such as England have been there for some decades due to presidents and timid, timid, and progressive politicians, whose concept of solidarity and altruism is governed by the most absolute ignorance, which makes them incapable of directing the destiny of a nation, have been facilitating this 5th stage through migration and the multiplication of the Muslim population. within this migration through their children born in England, children who will be raised under the radical ideas of Islam, and who will one day fight to impose them in England, because according to the implicit inclination within the Islamic doctrine, anyone who wants to keep them completely , will necessarily have to become a radical Muslim, because that is what Islam requires of them to conquer the world starting with the nations that were conquered by Islam and then lost, and they know that it is impossible to do it by peaceful means, all those Muslims Who sincerely preaches an Islam only of love and peace is a good person but a bad Muslim, the league of Arab nations is made up of 14 million km compared to the tiny 0.24% that Israel has, so if the conflict were over land The Arabs have plenty of land, but the conflict is religious, so they do not accept peaceful solutions or reasoning, even the West Bank has more territory than Israel or Egypt itself, but why does no Arab country want to accept the Gazans? Well, why do they? If you know the Islamic doctrine and the real situation within Gaza, there every Gazan family belongs to one of the various Islamic terrorist parties or at least they support the Islamic (jihad) war against what they call the infidels, so they are A PLAGUE of hatred, destruction and death for anyone who says welcome to my house, proof that many of these pro-terrorist protesters are going to protest violently is clear when they act just like any criminal when they are going to commit a crime and cover their faces to that no one recognizes them, and when they bark, defecating from their mouths with hysterical cries of the blindest ante-Semitic hatred, Allahu Akbar, or free Palestine from the river to the sea, they are declaring, first of all, that they are at war, which turns them into an invading force. of Islam within England, and secondly, they are declaring in the sight and patience of the all-complacent English authorities the extermination of the entire Jewish race, and it is precisely the kind ignorance and irresponsibility in the face of this growing danger on the part of the English government that which is why Islam, one day not too distant, will bring England to its knees, or at the very least will make it cry blood.

Canada seems to have no future. Its young generations have been damaged beyond repair by the woke state education system and the media. The danger for the kids lurks not in the streets, but in school rooms. If you care about your children and your family, stay away from Canada - that country is bent on destroying them. The growing economic hardships are only side-effects of the moral bankruptcy of the nation. Canada will serve as an important object lesson about the fruits of a successfull neo-Marxist revolution. This may be the last useful role it has to play in the world.

I wonder why the whites are moving is because the police are not upholding the law they re running away. They don't arrest them because they scared that they might be going call dresses when they should just grow a pair of bollocks and Arrest, the licence of donations will help to keep our volunteers ready. That was 10 years ago now. The police don't get out of the government doesn't start doing something. I can see the file right and Terrorism\nThe government are there to govern the majority, not the minorities. What has happened to democracy? If they are controlled by people who are a minority who don't like our laws, our culture

Sadly this is growing, what normal people do is nothing to do with religious nutters

Maybe torontonians shouldnt have elected & reelected local provincial & federal govts who first locked down the economy & society more than almost anywhere on earth causing mental issues, growing public debts & crime & now let in record number of foreign students causing rents to soar & promoting rampant drug use & ignoring vagrancy instead of mental & drug abuse help

Yes but is the violence not a reaction to the continued violence against Israel, The Palestinians have no desire for peace. The goal has always been the erasure of Israel which has been tried before and failed miserably. Though the Saudi FM's words are well spoken they are empty. At least Hamas is honest about its desires thought they fight like cowards hiding behind women and children. While the Saudi's play both sides, doing nothing but grow fat from their oil money. Pathetic

Growing number of Canadians are starting to think off leaving Canada !

There is a growing dishonest agenda to try and place blame for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza on neighbouring Arab countries like Egypt for not doing enough to help the palestinians.

Islam the religion of terror, no wonder they follow a paedophile and Skybook. Never let them grow in your country because they will destroy it.

Look! I respect life,\nAnd I want Palistine to live in peace in there own land, and have a good life and a good future, for the Palistinians children to grow in a peaceful world.\nAnd Israel also needs to know! That Israel can live in peace with the Palistinians as neighbours!\nThe weight can be lifted!\nThe killing can be stopped,\nBut this won't stop! Without the help! of the Arab world leaders and the Israeli leaders,\nTo stop the killings, to live in peace, to live in there own lands with dignity, with safety security on there lands!\nIt's time for peace talks on both sides, with Israel leaders, and the Arab world leaders, The humanitarian thing is peace talks, let's stop talking around the bush! and get things done!\nIt's time to swollow the pride! and revengeful hate on both sides and push for peace talks,\nBefore we have no lives to save!

The cost of living is crazy is Toronto. Growing up in the 90s and 2000s was beautiful. Fortunate to own real estate now as I cant imagine what rent will look like in 20 years.

there is only one reason , capitalism takes lives if you have nothing to offer that is valuable to capitalism , your life will be a lie under capitalism , food sleep and eternal struggle to pay the bills \nand the problem with capitalism is unlimited views in a limited world (simple math inflation worldwide is growing at an average of 10% per year, how many of you in the capitalist world have a salary growth of 10% per year, and many other reasons too)

Don't waste your time watching this video.\nI certainly didn't.\n\nCanada's skyrocketing population growth rate in recent years \njumped even higher when in the third quarter of 2023 alone \nCanada's population shot up by over 430,000 people in just 3 months.\n\nThat would work out to a 4.3% growth rate on an annual basis.\n\nCanada hasn't seen population growth like that since 1957\nwhen the baby boom was booming.\n\nMost recent data has only two countries with a population growth rate that high\nand most assuredly those two countries are growing because of \nextremely high fertility rates, not because of immigrants moving there\nfrom other countries.\n\nTo give another comparison, the UK which is the fastest growing G7\ncountry other than Canada, grew by 5.9% total over TEN FULL YEARS \nfrom 2011 to 2021.\n\nSo as in any place that is extremely desirable,\nrents and real estate prices are high and rising in Canada\nand apartments are hard to find\nbut clearly a lot of people want to move to Canada - \ncertainly vastly more than want to leave Canada.\n\nSeems that this video is the usual clickbait internet thing.\nIf one believed all the pessimistic online videos talking \nabout how various countries are in disastrous downward spirals\none would conclude that the entire world is soon going to end.

I think british should grow a pair

I was born in Canada but I'm married to an immigrant, a hard-working model citizen who is loved by everyone, we have a child together and we've now decided to move back to Japan. I will not have my daughter grow up under sharia law. I'm educated enough to know what happens when we allow Islam power. They will become the majority because, they use violence to attain their goals, and Canadians are too politically correct, too afraid of being accused of being Islamophobic. Many will think that it won't happen here, just as they think that they will never become ill or be harmed by anyone, but it will certainly happen. We are preparing to leave soon.

One thing that makes me sick is that just down the road a lady had just passed away after renovating the whole house. The stupid council let these idiots move in and ripped the whole house of new stuff out and dumped it in a skip then started growing drugs. Luckily the 4 guys were arrested. What sickos oh let's flee our country, ruin a new house that they offer and turn it into a drug den. ?

Both Palestinians and Israeli have a right for their land. Both needs to grow up and leave each other alone both needs to stay within their borders

Does anyone else notice that the government talks sub 500K targets for immigrants but the population grows by more than a million annually?

You guys seem mentally weak; being tough in the first year is challenging anywhere in the world, and you may regret your decision later.\n\nAnd your kids will blame and curse you for this decision when they grow up.

Blame yourselves for giving up all your rights to your government, America is on the dame path...2024 we will have to take our country back at the voting polls..you should do the same grow a backbone

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.

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

Israel is growing and want to continue growing into neighboring countries. What stops them from doing to the neighboiring countries what their doing to Palestinians. Even considering the past invasions of Lebanon and Egypt.

I am Canadian, and while elements of this video are true, there are larger points missed. healthcare is challenging, but it could be worse- could be the American system. housing is expensive if you want to live in the large urban centres. essentially, life is good but takes effort, and there's a growing sense of entitlement... but all a Canadian need do is head south and they'll be missing it in a short period of time. I would far rather be here than in China, Ukraine, Russia, India, many African nations, many South American nations, Mexico,... Europe is more expensive in many areas... no, I'll stick with Canada, thanx

Canada has the same problem as the United States: wrong kind of politicians elected. Like the U.S., most Canadians consider themselves compassionate liberals and thus feel obligated to vote for said, compassionate liberal politicians. The problem is, for Canada and the U.S., these compassionate liberal politicians don't know how to run the nation's economy except to run it further into the ground. And when the problems get really bad, the solution is always, raise taxes because liberal politicians are either Marxist Socialist and believe the citizenry are obligated to pay higher and higher taxes for more government intervention, meaning, interference, in most cases.\n Whenever Canada does get around to voting in a conservative prime minister and government, the Canadian mass media immediately goes on a years-long negative campaign of deliberately undermining the government in the eyes of the Canadian People, demeaning them as inept and uncompassionate and comparing them to fascists. Eventually the Canadian People get so distressed they have to vote back in the liberal party. And then the same happens again.\n I'm just glad our Canadian brothers are not blaming the U.S. government or the CIA, but instead are clear-headed and courageous enough to blame their own government and past legislations and laws that do the exact opposite of what is supposed to happen, level the playing field for all Canadians.\n I'm reading about the outrageous pricing of Canadian housing and am astonished. But one YouTuber explained this about his Canada. Everyone in Canada wants to squeeze into the few, concentrated urban areas that concentrate business, finance, manufacturing, job opportunities, et al. As it happens, these areas are too few and far between. So what ends up happening is geographical overpopulation, despite Canada having a total population of around 32 million souls. People in California can certainly understand this phenomenon. You can purchase a 3-bedroom house out in California City, which is near the Mojave Desert, for $176,000, but there's nothing out there to make it worthwhile living there. Conversely, a tiny, 3-bedroom home in Torrance, Los Angeles, was selling for $800,000 in 2018. \n As realtors put it this way all the time, location, location, location!\n I'm going to pass on commenting on Canada's National Health Care. I've read criticisms from native Canadians on the Internet. As Canadians, they're entitled to say whatever they want about their country. If I, a Yank, open my big mouth, I'm going to get trolled by a hundred angry Canadians defending their National Health Care as the world's greatest socialized medical care. Health Care is already expensive enough in the U.S. Most people get it through their employer, which pays a part of it. But employees' monthly deductions for health insurance have been growing steadily over the past 30 years to where it's now a huge chunk out of one's monthly paycheck.

Canada sure isn't perfect but the few dozens times I have traveled every time I returned I realized how lucky I was to have the chance to grow up and have lived in this country. I thank those Europeans who made my ancestors get on those ships.

The people running away from the 'centre of the universe' or 'Hongcouver' are only increasing the cost of living as the demand for rent continues to grow and market availability declines. More than a vicious cycle being continued elsewhere in other provinces.

Right answer ! The stupidity to ask this question is not seeing the agenda of Israel to take all the land in the name of self defense. It's like that from the beginning of colonisation with or without terrorist attacks. The lessons givers won't see that refugees are the treat for European countries where extremism are growing.

Why did the military powers such a Saudi Arabia allow Hamas to grow strong? They have the power and influence to take care of their own evil from within❓

Whose weight is this?? Can u grow a pair and say that country's name??

Come to India. Experience diverse cultures, locations, numerous career options, stable political state and a growing economy that favors business growth. No country is perfect, but the plus outweighs the minus currently in these uncertain times.

People, Canada is garbage, running by idiots, drug crisis, criminal growing, poverty is everywhere. \nMove out from this garbage before it is too late.\nLiberal government are running by idiots, they teach your kids that boy and girls are stereotype.

Ever notice the homeless problem only grows when liberals get elected?

The Arab countries just SPEAK and leave these people to hurt in the war. A war they started!!! How about PROPERLY loving them and taking them in and growing a prosperous nation?? SILENCE FROM ALL THE ARAB BROTHERS AND SISTERS. hypocrisy!!!!

Many cash rich investors from Ukraine, Russia, Israel, and China. The first three well known as to where their money is coming from and why they are fleeing war torn regions. Most of Ukraine and Israel is funded by US government institutions but Russia’s emigrants have left Russia due to disagreements with how Russia is being administered. China mainlanders parking investing money into Canada in order to cater for future immigration and future education needs for their kids and others that wish to follow.\n\nCanada, like Hawaii, Miami, and Las Vegas are experiencing overinflated housing investors willing to pay the asking cost for the real estate. Like the rest of the planet, many of the newer generation tend to flock to warmer regions of the planet. The other areas that experience the housing Price shocks are places also where foreign students tend to flock to, especially those from Asian nations like China.\n\nCanada’s BC Vancouver, Edmonton, Manitoba, and Calgary tend to cater to willing Indian, Pakistani, Central Asian, Hong Kong Chinese, Singapore, Japanese, Malaysian, and Taiwanese parents willing to spend big money to educate their kids in Canadian English language programs that the Canadian governments organized with educators. \n\nSpending well over five figures a year in order to educate these young kids to grasp English and eventually have a pathway to citizenship like South Africa’s Elon Musk. The CCP was Party to these programs till Xi’s second term of rule and the huge budget deficits occurring due to the transference of Chinese domestic spending happening overseas especially in Canada and Australia caused the CCP to stop this growing deficit in household spending within the Chinese domestic economy. They couldn’t allow these newly minted millionaires to raise their kids like elite CCP party members families and friends. \n\nThey tried to stop it, but the Canadian taxpayers raised complaints about soaring property, and income taxes to their politicians and it’s slowed this process down but loopholes still exist and it is still occurring. \n\nThe top party leaders of China sending their kids to expensive European and USA institutions such as Xi’s children especially his Harvard / Oxford educated daughter, whose fiancée is a British citizen involved in all trades, China’s evolving EV industries! Move on over Elon, a new competitors in town due to some big connections within the CCP party.\n\nCanada housing is overinflated for the next several decades.

Born in Canada and the dream is to leave. It's too cold here to be taxed so high and have the rest of your salary to go to housing. Can never retire and it will suck to grow old here unless you hit the lottery and then it's still very cold.

For years, I've been drawing comparisons between my life in Canada and that of my American friends. Having lived across three provinces—20 years in Ontario, another decade in Quebec (learning French along the way), and a decade in Vancouver—I adopted a modest lifestyle that saw my savings grow to £40k. However, unforeseen circumstances, like my father's passing, led to financial strain. Despite a good job with travel perks, I found myself yearning for a change. Learning about an Ancestry visa, thanks to a colleague, revealed my eligibility due to my grandparents' immigration from the UK to Canada post-war.\n\nAfter gathering paperwork, I took a leap: severance from my job, selling my condo, and relocating to London, England. Initially hesitant due to the GBP exchange rate, I was pleasantly surprised—my savings lasted three years in England. While my childhood dream was the USA, I found London surprisingly affordable. Though my income was a third of what I earned in Canada, in three years, I found a partner, bought a home within five years, and established a savings account for the first time.\n\nLife in London meant exploring the world, negligible worries about expenses, affordable living costs (from phone bills to dentistry), and accessible public transport. The quality of life, housing affordability, and healthcare in the UK surpassed my Canadian experiences. The lifestyle contrasts were stark—five weeks of paid leave versus minimal vacation time in Canada, affordable education, and fewer societal issues like homelessness or drug abuse.\n\nMy advice? Explore the Ancestry visa for a life-altering opportunity; it’s tied to grandparents' lineage and offers a path to citizenship. The UK's supply and demand dynamics, along with its lower taxes, provide a different economic landscape compared to Canada. And here, what you see on price tags is what you pay—no hidden fees. This shift has transformed my life, and the possibilities seem endless. Check out [the Ancestry visa](https://www.gov.uk/ancestry-visa) for more information!

Canada is a mess. All they build is luxury condos that most can't afford. Food is sky high, and greedy politicians don't seem to care as long as they keep growing their own bank accounts. The corruption is starting to really show.

Maybe Egypt should open their border then. A ceasefire is a band aid in this conflict. It only gives Hamas time to grow more.
