Living in communism without the benefits that’s what today’s Canada has become. Trudeau has destroyed this nation there no longer democracy or any common sense. if I could leave tomorrow i definitely would. There’s a reason everyone drinks and does drugs in this country.

Too back you sent all the Canadians money to get your medical degree in Canada, take another place in line then leave. Same on you. We don’t need selfishness in our new immigrants, we need new residents who are legitimately interested in building this country for future generations.

I am a Palestinian, my family lived in Palestine for over 1450 years and counting. Why would my family leave For any other country and let some I don’t wanna see Jewish or Zionist to come from Europe to live in my country in the Middle East They don’t even look like Middle East.

Nobody likes living in there dictatorship country life sucks there even poor people in canada dont half to put up with the oppression that they deal with in other countries and its not the people from other countries that have a problem with the west its there governments. So much so the propaganda tells them there problems are caused by us . First world countries are successful for a reason so they should follow suit and join the party then there people would be to happy to leave and we wouldn't have these kind of issues

Great video from the people affected by the immigration and housing crises! I say Canada needs a two year pause on immigration and refugees until our housing and work force balance themselves again. The amount of working age healthy people leaving this country because of this government funded crisis is appalling and the world is watching.

We had to leave our home Provence because the cost of living is completely inflated 75% of income on rent. Then you have to try and buy food. There are no jobs. Trudeau can’t even keep his wife let alone run a country.

I miss my family and friends so much, I had no reason at all to leave my home country, I still don’t know why I did.\n\nAll I got here in Canada is suffering and I have nothing to show for all that suffering, I really don’t understand why I came

I am fully planning on leaving this country as soon as possible I am fed up.

Not only immigrants are leaving Canada. I had two coworkers who were born in Canada and decided to move to USA in 2023. To put it simple and blunt, the opportunities for employment and the quality of life is better in other countries.

Sad to see our country leaving veterans on the streets. \nThis is probably one of the reasons our military is in a death spiral. We need to have strong defence in such a big country, what if one of the larger violent nations decided to invade our north? Who's gonna go there and protect our lands? The bears and penguins?

even canadian medical system is getting worse and worse. \nwalk in clinic doctors dont wanna see patients \nI visited 3 different walk in clinics and they all said no\nWhen i visited Toronto one homeless guy tried to hit me, boyfriend and our friend. \nthe homelss guy told us to leave his park so we did and 5 mins later the same homeless guy was hitting one of the bikers in the driving lane. All the other bikers started to punching the homeless guy and started kicking him brought him to the opposite side walk and kept hitting him. seriously, canada's becoming very dangerous even in Vancouver being very much ghetto place.\n\nI think the PM should be focusing fixing Canada instead of getting more people in. When most of the middle class citizens are becoming more of a poor class. There's no balance in the country. Middle class is now poor class and I dont know what poor class is anymore. The rent is fucking crazy cant buy anything seriously organic lemon is over 5 dollars i mean i dont eat anything organic but this is crazy. especially when you try to buy something like a coffee the workers want you to pay at least 20% tip and if you dont they fucking glare at you. I really wanna leave Canada i dont wanna live here anymore. Its getting dangerous every day. More killing, theft, scams its so disgusting. 20 years ago was so nice. even though it was still expensive at least everyone wasnt mad at each other.\n\nYou should do Vancouver theres so much tents in the parks police officers dont do anything. Those people who needs to stay in the mental hospital doesnt get those help they're out in the streets.

First of all it’s not any specific countries responsibility to take refugees solely on the fact that they share a language. That makes no sense it’s not saudis responsibility any more than it would be like idk Frances for example. And the other thing is they don’t want to leave necessarily it’s their land thats the whole point

I’m leaving Canada too….taxes are way way too high….health care system is insufficient……not enough job opportunities….it is a beautiful country but I got to go.

I'm getting ready to leave Canada and go to their country. Funny the only place you see diversity is the eastern countries.

then why thousands of palestinians are in US if they dont want to leave their country?

West has no idea about third-world countries. Please check out another Canadian Jayant Bhandari & understand what's going on before it's too late or may be it is too late. Many skilled immigrants will leave Canada for better life elsewhere if it stays on current path & all welfare free loaders will be left behind.

I was born here but I don’t recognize my country anymore, I want to leave ?

A new trend: folks from Third World countries go to Canada, endure 5 years to get a passport, and leave the country.

As a Canadian, I am leaving this country. Going to somewhere warm. JT has ruined Canada!

I’m leaving this damn country this year. Can’t wait.

Her haf of her family is in foreign countries she's telling us to leave canada return to india. Woww hypocrisy in journalism ??

STOP LEAVING YOUR COUNTRY AND FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS! WHATS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU?

Leaving Canada??? Are you kidding me? If all these disillusioned immigrants are leaving, then why do us born and raised Canadians see every major city of ours being overtaken over by these immigrants, specifically the South and east Asian variety, in every single one of them? Here is statistic for you on one of them.....more than 75% of the people who live in Toronto, are from another country!! 75%, and Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and every other big city we have are catching up to that percentage as we speak. I laugh my ass off when I when I see a tiny minority group like yours claiming that immigrants are leaving at a rapid pace. I suppose though it might appear that way to you if you were not born here to begin with and witnessed the massive change in our immigrant population over the past 30 years like us born and raised Canadians have. Dont get me wrong either. I am all for immigration and know how necessary they are to our successful economy and I do feel for the ones that try to make a decent living here but get pushed out for whatever reason, but to say that there is alot of immigrants leaving is simply not true by any measureable standard or why are there so many of you everywhere? Something isnt making any sense here and I know its not coming from us born and raised Canadians either!

1:30 Don't fool us anymore Mr. Fraser… \nThe reality is irresponsible immigration policies are making Canadians sufferiing. \nThe reality is that skilled young immigrants are leaving Canada. \nThe reality is that unskilled illegal immigrants are increasingly becoming a serious burden on the country and taxpayers.

Canada, no longer has Canadians, but has become a country filled with residents. The biggest impact we now see is money made here by immigrants is leaving the country. Generally, every dollar made and spent here generates another 8 dollars in a healthy circular economy. If immigrants also can't afford new homes, they'll just send money back \nhome and leave asap!

One thing I noticed you left was the fact that temporary workers are just that temporary. They have plans on staying here, because it is too expensive to live and mail order all their money back to their home countries. It is quite lucrative for them to make $15/hr (bunking with 6-8 others in an apartment) if they come from a country where 50cents/day is the going wage back home. But that money leaves the Canadian economy, dragging it down.

She asked her why ur not keeping them as refugees????? ????? What's that meant to be they leave their place ? Madam would you love to leave ur country if smth will happen one day? Every soul love their own place where they living they love to die instead leaving ,this is the truth ,if u r really concerned about them why would u ask them to leave and stay in ur country ????

Affordability is one thing but how much are you saving and cutting on unnecessary expenses? If you plan smart then Canada is great country. I will never leave Canada it offers lot of benefits that none of other countries provide.

Because they destroyed the country that's. That's why they're leaving. They voted in a government that is terrible for our country. They jacked up the price of housing.\nThere are more sex offenders more thieves, more criminals in general than there ever have been before, and they're not local OK And now they wanna leave well, you know what I say. Good go, I'm not going to leave. I'm going to stay here and fix the country that I love because i'm not a coward like those who flee theirs When times get a little tough You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna outvote the government that's In power right now Try to get legislation for rules to build affordable housing. Try to force the grocery companies to lower their prices oh and don't come back. You destroyed it once, don't do it again If we managed to fix the mess you helped cause which we never had before, you got here and you try to come back. There will be war they created the geneva convention because of us homie There will be war they created the Geneva convention because of us Be warned Get out, stay at, we'll stay here. We'll fix it. We'll actually not be cowards and fight for our country. The way you did and then came here and brought all your problems with you Get out, stay at, we'll stay here. We'll fix it. We'll actually not be cowards and fight for our country. The way you didn't and then came here and brought all your problems with you and don't come back.

Why are they leaving? Simple! Awful people, awful country!

Simple most expensive and highest tax country. Canadians are leaving Canada.

Don’t let these people use scare propaganda to fool you into leaving Canada, stay and fight for your country.

There is a whole other Canada outside Toronto, Brampton or Vancouver. Disgruntled, leave. No one is stopping you from leaving. Should have done more investigation on Canada instead of taking some hired foreign immigration official advice, whose job is to make money off your back, telling you mistruths and all you had to do was do your own investigation. This is on you. Complaining about shovelling snow in a country where it snows! Really! What a stupid comment. Unhappy? There is a plane leaving with your name on it. And no one owes you a living.

I came here 2 years ago, I'm applying to jobs in the US and other countries as soon as I land one I'll leave, this country is a pyramid scam.

My husband has been here since 3 years of age for over 50 years now, I have been here for over 30 years and we are leaving in the next year. We are both dual nationality Canadians and are going back to the UK. Trudeau has totally destroyed this once beautiful country. We grew up here in the 70's and 80's, they were the good old days, that Canada is now gone for good!

Leaving because this country is turning into a sh1thole, obvs. Humans aren't infinitely interchangeable carbon blob debt servants like the banks think. Rapid change isn't a strength, it creates confusion suspicion and distrust, all of which harm quality of life.

Why leave a 3rd world country to end up in another 3rd world country?

I honestly thought that these two were kind of strange, when I first viewed their content and that by accident.\n\nHowever you got to RESPECT THEM, for the fact that they didn’t just boycott Western consumer products in show their support for Palestine.\n\nThe biggest thing you can do is if you are able to leave the Western countries and no longer support them thru the means of PAYING TAXES in funding the GENOCIDE!\n\nSo everyone respect these two and pray for them and their family because they made a move that even the so called religious people that talk a big game and then pay interest/riba on everything they so called own, would never do because they love the world too much thru materialistic means

My parents immigrated to Canada from racist apartheid South Africa in 1967. \n \nAs a second-generation immigrant, all I can say is that Canada is:\nThe best country there is...\nThe best country there was...\nThe best country there will ever be!!!!\n\nWhere's your bloody loyalty in coming to this country and then deciding to leave because of economic challenges?\n\nYou're not living under a dictatorship like my parents were!

I met some of these people in Thailand after COVID. There was a small group of Chinese who kept to themselves at our hostel. One day I overheard them in Chinese repeatedly talking about my country Mexico which got me to talk with them. They were quite happy to learn I could speak Chinese but more excited to learn I was from Mexico. They started asking me a bunch of questions about crossing the border into the US to which I bluntly told them I had no idea about and discouraged it. I asked where they got these crazy ideas from and they said that people were posting videos and tutorials of how to cross into the US online. The Chinese government hard handed approach to COVID was what made them leave. They wanted to go both for the freedom and economic benefits but they had a very naive and overly optimistic view of the US. They saw the high wages US workers were making but had no idea as to the incredibly high living costs associated with living there. I tried explaining that there was a housing shortage and that their expectations for life in the US would set them for disappointment but they either didn't believe me or brushed off my criticism. I also tried encouraging them to go to German or Australia instead (places which I feel would be better and easier for them to enter) but they seemed dead set on just going to the US. Unfortunately I don't know where they are now as Wechat is blindly and constantly blocking and deleting accounts in SE Asia without reason......................

What the Canadian government should be concerned with, is that its Canadians who are leaving. And let this be a clue to all new comers, if a country does not respect and take care of its own first, how can you trust it? Its just a matter of time before they screw you! that's a truth you have neglected to see.

Canadians are leaving Canada and that's what should be concerning. As Canadian born and raised now retired, I have finally had enough if the past 3 decades of crap in this country and also found a way to immigrate out of Canada to a country who places its citizens FIRST!

To all the whiners and complainers - LEAVE MY COUNTRY ASAP. WE DON'T WANT WHINERS AND COMPLAINERS, WE WANT DOERS.

Yeah it's not just immigrants it's also born here Canadians. We are tired of the state of country, our lack of freedom and democracy, our failing healthcare and healthcare facilities, laughable education system, lack of infrastructure for new comers and Canadians alike. No party in Canada, neither Liberal, Conservative, NDP and Green, no one really represents Canadians and really listens to the public. We learned there is NO future here for us or our family. We're done with a country that I pay taxes too, believed in, it's not my fault that I have to leave, it's CANADA and decades of bad policies, investing in wars instead of our home and people. Trudeau spent more time demonizing anti-vaxxers and truckers and funding Ukraine rather then helping starving Palestinians and Congolese people, families struggling here locally to feed their family, kids are who aren't getting a proper education, elderly unable to pay for their medicine or food. We are all suffering because no one in our govt wants to actually help our country get back on track. So our govt is essentially pushing us OUT. We don't want to leave, we have no choice.

Who are you??? Good that you have therapy. As to those unhappy in Canada, you can leave. It’s a free country.
