Mass 3rd world migration has changed Toronto, Vancouver Canada - they aren't the safe, Great White North of the 1970s. Canada has huge amounts of unpopulated land, pretty much no, none of the migrants are going there - they're going to Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver and their suburbs. Sure you get interesting places to dine, cosmopolitan stuff, you also get sky high rents, migrant camps, ME sexual grooming gangs, COVID, TB - Indian Sikh assassinations.

Meh... Inflation in Egypt is much much much higher than in Canada and out economy collapses and we have a killer dictatorship. You know what! Let's swap places. If you can swap places with me please do. How about that?.

I am Canadian bro, can't agree on your points. Canada is best place to live, I am also Muslim AH, never face any sort of discrimination. i moved from Dubai, and the place where i live i can see more hijabi womens than Dubai. Even my kids pray in public schools no one stop them. This is one of the best diverse country, where everybody respect their religion. Can't agree on inflation part either, just came from US from vacation, i must say we have better Halal options and prices, all things are way too much compare with Canada. Regarding your weather point, that's the story in most of the countries, Middle east is so hot(UAE, KSA, Kwait etc), you can't do any outdoor activities over there, except shopping in indoor malls, same like winter here. Even in US also there are only few states where you can find some ideal weather, apart from that all states are extremely cold or hot....

Malaysia is the best place for muslims today

IF people don't like it here, why do they come in the first place?

I leaved in Canada for over 20 years and noticed the drastic changes you mentioned. I still have 4 of my kids in Canada, They are grown up and have their own families now. As I traveled to few places for professional raison I always been on family status because I wanted to be close to my wife and 6 children. The best place I liked is the sultanate of Oman. It’s a conservative Islamic environment and people are very respective, very nice and welcoming. The only thing that bothers a bit is the heat in summer time but other than that it’s the best place in the world. By the way 3 of my children are planning to leave Canada to one of the gulf countries and I wish them good luck. May Allah guide you to the right path and place to rise your kids and practice your faith at ease.

Totally agree with you. I’m a Muslim as well and I don’t live in a western society, I’m living in my country that is conservative and there is none of these woke agendas and liberalism being forced on us, but I do have relatives who live in the US and Canada and they are thinking about coming back for the same reasons you mentioned. They don’t want their children to be victims of these agendas that are being forced on them to accept in schools right now, they are noticing how society over there is failing, Islamophobia and hate crimes against Muslims is rising, and they don’t want to live in a country that sends billions of dollars to support an apartheid occupying state to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians, they just don’t want their tax money to be sent to war criminals. May Allah make it easy for you and hopefully you’ll find a perfect place and a perfect Muslim environment so that you can raise your children. I do suggest you to go live in one of these Gulf states especially Saudi Arabia where healthcare is free, education is free, zero taxes, zero crime rates, and most importantly, you can practice your deen freely and you don’t have to worry about your children.

this is your future because of rising musIim population\nu thought indians were isIamophobic but this is the reality of any place with high musIim population\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/UfoYXlSM0N8?si=6K7207iOmYvYBJTg\nhttps://youtu.be/rcsG-u2GtZE?si=6lGM1crJ33d895Ug

I would expect you to move back eventually, many of the things you have listed are worse in other places of the world, and I suspect that you take many things for granted such as peace, stability, healthcare, etc. \nI would still encourage you to go ahead as it could be worth the experience and lessons learned. Good luck.

If you flip the coin, it's very interesting to hear stories from expats of Eastern European decent living in Canada - And they're all desperate to return back to their country of origin because they say Canada is saturated with many migrants from the Far-East (China) South-East Asia (India & Pakistan) and Africa. They say they feel lost in all that. Some of these have applied for working visa's to the U.S. It seems every group of the human race has their own agenda for wanting to relocate to other places, mainly for comfort and security.

Not every Muslim majority country is an easy place to practice. I’ve experienced more prejudice as a hijabi in certain “Islamic” countries than in my very homogeneous and conservative town in the US. Be sure to enter this journey with eyes wide open. God bless ?

It's so sad that you even have to consider this, but you need to do what you feel is right for you and your family. This world is so scary right now and it's only going to get worse before it gets better. I wish you the best of luck in your search and I hope that you can find a safe and inviting place to move.

You two seem like some cool people who I would want to hang out with! I am a white Christian American. I cannot fathom the struggles and fears you face daily. I wish you the best on your travels and finding the perfect place that feels like home!

In Islam, anyone doing hijrah like for religion, work, life, security in life will always be blessed with rahmah and prosperity from Allah. \nIts been proven generatios after generations, this is a real deal. \nIslam peaked in the golden age of knowledge due to Muslims hijrah to Andulusia. \nEven our beloved Prophet hijrah, even his companions hijrah and passed on in foreign lands. \nEven our beloved Prophet Ahlul Baits hijrah to Yemen, South East Asia and most part of the world. \nEven to be a recognized famous footballer, he must be willing to hijrah. A buisness man to be successful he need to hijrah to find wealth and prosperity. \nMy prayers to you both lovely family to find a place under the sun that will make your heart filled with happiness and fulfillment. My humble respect from a fellow Muslim living in Singapore. ❤

May Allah make it easy for you. No matter where you live in this world you will find things you like and things you won’t. List the evils of the new place and ask yourself would you be okay with 10-20 years of daily life with those evils

The Netherlands is a very Muslim friendly country with a high Muslim population and vibrant Islamic culture. Istanbul in Turkey is a modern city and is the site of many Muslim sacred places. Also Dubai seems like a nice place to live. It attracts people from all over the world.

If we could afford to, which I am so glad you are able to, my heritage and dad's home land is Ukraine, if it wasn't ravaged by war, that's where I would love to go, or my moms dad came from Scotland, another place we wish we could afford to go, prices are through the roof and we are bringing up our grandson on disability, he's autistic and adhd, so has meds that cost alot of money, also have a disabled daughter, not grandsons mom, so ya money doesn't go far enough so all we can do is move to a small town, so glad you are able to follow your dreams, personally I agree with your stance on freeing the Palestinians, thanks for listening

Before moving to Canada, it is good to target the industry. Please consider the nuclear industry. There are jobs there and expect a lot more jobs as Ontario plans to build 4 new Small Modular Reactors that will create thousands of job opportunities. Also, there is refurbishment of existing nuclear generating plants at Bruce Power and Darlington and very soon, Pickering. This will provide plenty of jobs. \n \nOntario relies on nuclear power to provide around 60% of its electricity. You can come into the nuclear industry as an engineer (electrical, mechanical, civil, nuclear) or as a project manager. With all the new nuclear projects, project managers will be in hot demand. \n \nStart now to develop yourself to be well place to get jobs in the Canadian nuclear sector. \n \nThe salary is very good too. \n \nHappy to help if you need more information.

Canada is becoming worse every day anyway!!! Salary are low (while cost of living is skyrocketing), which is why we have so many Canadians and immigrants who are becoming so anxious, depressed and facing all sorts of mental problems), people are moody, quality of life is decreasing and transport is trash compared to France and the lack for doctors is making this country look like a third world\nEconomy!!! Even Canadians are happy to leave this place and honestly, we think of leaving it too for another country.. that you can trust me! (My 2 younger sisters are actually leaving and makes plans to leave Canada behind for good to immigrate elsewhere and my older brother plans to relocate to a warmer country.\n.. and NO!! I am not going to buy a 1 million dollar house in Vancouver at the expense of my well being!!! It ain’t worth it no more!!! Better buy in Europe.. like France or Portugal!!!!

I live in Sweden, we have the same problems here. I hope me and my husband can take our kids one day and move. We are thinking about Erbil, Iraq. Maybe that could be a place for your family too. All my best wishes to your lovely family.

Sorry but none of the reason you shared are enough to make you leave your country. I'm a Muslim and I travel the world, today Canada is the best place to be.

I move from one country to another every five years because of the nature of my job. As a practising Muslim with children here are some of the countries I’ve lived in which you guys should consider :\n- Turkey is very developed and your family will have to make less adjustments in terms of quality of life. If you can speak Turkish then you are good to go.\n-Morocco has a very rich culture and the economy is relatively stable.\n- Malaysia is beautiful and has great community sense. Very helpful people. The main adjustment will be with the eastern culture which is very conservative. The cuisine is also very unique.\n- Qatar and UAE are both similar in the sense that finding jobs won’t be a problem and lots of people understand and speak english. Also these two countries are developed and the \n education standards are the highest I have seen in countries following sharia. Also these countries are less strict than Saudi Arabia which is my native country. I really hope you two \n aren’t considering it. Your girls will not grow up happy in Saudi. Trust a women who has done it. I love my religion but inshallah no child should go through that environment because her \n parents were attracted to the holy land.\n-Lastly this is a rather outlier in this list but you should consider India. There are mosques everywhere in almost every city and even the Hindus fondly wake up to the azaan. Most \ninclusive non-Muslim country I have lived in. My children loved it. We lived in one of the many Muslim communities near a mosque in a city called Hyderabad which was ruled by a Muslims for hundreds of years. Even though they have their own languages nearly everyone speaks english. The schools are great. The police create spaces for Muslims to worship on the roads so that traffic doesn’t disturb them. Very inclusive and the city itself is beautifully developed. The job market is great and it is a very affordable place to raise a family.\n\nI hope you guys check these places out. I’ve only listed the countries which I felt were the best options but I’ve lived in almost all the countries with a sizeable Muslim population. Best wishes to you folks from the Sayyid family. Allah be with you.

Alhamdulillah. So happy to hear about this decision. Insha’allah we will also do Hijra soon ( we are in Germany for the past 6 years ). \nMy husband grew up in the UAE and I lived there for 8 years … it used to be nice to live there but I would not recommend it anymore. And on top of that their government also supports Israhell. \nIf I had the choice I would choose Indonesia or Malaysia. Or one of the smaller islands like Seychelles. \nMay Allah guide you to the best place for your family.

Where are you moving to? Alhamdulliah our family moved to Saudi Arabia 6 months ago from the UK, Alhamdulliah its a great experience and we homeschool our children now. Its nice to be in a islamic environment and safer place to live. Good luck!

(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 )

Hard times are all over different places. As Salaam Alaikum as long as your safe that is important

May Allah guide you and your family. We are truly living in difficult times and it is even hard to find a place which is safe for muslims to bring up their young. I would suggest somewhere like qatar as their schooling does not have include what muslims fear, although many schools in qatar and the middle east use the western curriculum and are being westernised. Perhaps homeschooling in a muslim country is the best and ideal solution. I know even non muslims who are fear for their kids now and are moving away ….

I would say UAE (coming from a non-Muslim resident of 8 years)\n\nMandatory Arabic classes in school\nMandatory Islamic classes for Muslims\nSafe\nDiverse\nStrict punishments for crimes\nPlenty of halal options for food\nMosques and masjids everywhere\nProtected communities\nLow amount of racism\nNo haram topics are being taught in school (or any public place legally)\nSupports P@lestine

I completely agree and cosign with this. Canada is not anymore a living place especially for muslims. You perfectly nailed it and these are all the reason that i would like to leave this country. It is so hard to live here, there is no enjoyment, we work full time and cant even save to go on vacation and experience new things.

In first place why arab world should support Palestine because they are Muslims, but there are Christians also let the European and Christians countries support also,?

If you can afford it, Saudi Arabia is the best place for muslims.

Hi guys you guys are making good decision we moved 2 years ago because of our kids and the hatred of the Muslim community we moved to Jordan and Jordanian people are amazing very welcome the school is top 10 my kids the read right and speak Arabic I suggest you guys look in to it inshallah you guys find the best place

Consider to come and experience the tranquil beauty of life in Abu Dhabi, UAE – a city that embraces you with warmth and safety! ? Picture yourself surrounded by the graceful domes of numerous masjids, creating a serene backdrop for your spiritual journey. It's more than just a city; it's a place where family values thrive, with robust laws ensuring the well-being of every child and woman.\n\nBut it's not just about the quiet moments; Abu Dhabi bursts with life through a tapestry of activities for all seasons. And the best part? Your hard-earned money stays with you, thanks to the absence of income tax – a city that lets you build your dreams without financial worries and the place where you can find Islamic banks.\n\nCome be a part of a community that cherishes safety, spirituality, and the joy of family living. ??

I am Indonesian living in ALberta for almost 15years, planning to move back to Indonesian soon. I would suggest to South East Asia and settle in any of these option Malaysia or Indonesia, or other option would be Turkey. I Especially if you like variety of landscape, nature choose those places. Very safe to live and cheap cost of living. Well I wont pick DUbai to live, especially \nwesternisation there is so obvious (many people from UK, US move there) and UAE are not really pro Palestinians in general. I dont even put Dubai as place to visit too much structures, not offering any natural place to see.

Meanwhile Canada and Australia are the places where Pakistanis want to migrate to.

Immigrants are being lied to and mislead into coming here for the agenda to destroy the country. Not enough housing work food etc for the people already here. You want to be in for the fight of your life Canada is the place

I'm a Palestinian Muslim girl living in ireland and I have to say as much as I appreciate everything this country and its people have done for me, there's no place like home.

You people are taking a very big step. Moving and leaving the place where you've been living for so many years, it's difficult. I pray that Allah make it easy for you. More power to you. Love from Pakistan ?

#3 was the biggest one (imo) that made me think. I can't imagine what it's like to have to live day to day with those worries and fears about yourself AND your children. As a mother of 3 myself, there is already so much to worry about when it comes to our children, without the added fear of visible religion being added to that. I have never once thought about what it would be like, if I was raised in a religion where it was visible to others, how that would have impacted me, nor have I ever passed a thought as a parent. And for that, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you have to live with those worries and fears each day. I'm sorry that people of Muslim religion are bullied and targeted on a daily basis. I'm sorry that a few bad eggs, have marked the beautiful people. I may not be Muslim, but I would gladly step in and stand up for a Muslim (or anyone tbh) who was being victimised because of their religion. I truly hope your children never become victims, and I truly hope that y'all are able to find a place with Sandy beaches, lots of sun, a wonderful Muslim community with plenty of free space to worship how and when you need to freely, and the feeling of safety for you both and your beautiful children.

May Allah bless you and your family as you embark on this new journey. It is important to seek an environment that aligns with your Islamic values and provides a safe and nurturing space for your children. May Allah guide you to a place where you can thrive and continue to practice your faith with ease. Ameen.

South Africa is a great place for us. There are many people who wear hijab, there are mosques in all the major cities and in some rural towns too. The cities are muliticultural, there are diverse options for halal food. There are plenty of great schools, including islamic schools and there are plenty of madrassahs. Malls in the big cities have salaah rooms. \nThere is a large diverse muslim community. ❤

It’s so sad what these western countries have become ?. But the world is a big place and Allah will surely provide. \nMay Allah grant you guys success in every way. ?Ameen

I believe staying in a Muslim country where you have freedom to practice your religion freely ..a religious environment .. I have three sons and one got married recently but they all prefer migrating to muslim countries not western or European ones for jobs..Dollars may be tempting but Faith is above all ...i don't say you don't live in a western or European country...its just that you should have firm islamic roots so that your kidz follow it ..or else the situation would be drastic like Borris Johnson ...Oman Muscat Qatar Ireland Dubai KSA good places to migrate

Salaam I am so proud of u guys taking this step I really look up to u guys I am Muslim and proud of it Allah Akbar. Free Free Palatine may Allah make this move easy on u guys may u find a place that makes u guys happy an most of Allah will be happy Ameen

Asalam u Alikom \nAlhamdulillah I moved my family out of Uk back to Afghanistan as well just 5 months ago for most of the reasons you mentioned. West is not a place to raise your children anymore. \nMay Allah swt help us all.

MashaAllah. You guys have a lot of courage. \nI think Turkey will be a good place to migrate. There you can get their citizenship also quite easily. But you will have to learn the Turkish language as very few people speak English over there.

Dubai, Türkiye, Qatar seems good enough places to settle for now.

Ireland- cause it doesn’t support the genocide.\nBut always you could consider muslims countries like the UAE or Qatar. \nSome other places to look at are Singapore ( huge muslim population and mosques) ( I felt extremely safe on the street alone at 10pm ) \nMalaysia

Where are you going to? You didn't mention the place. I was planning to go to a different country for couple years, but I thought education would be very expensive in other countries like Turkey. If there are any countries English schools are cheap and affordable, let me know.
