I left in 2015 and never came back. I don't see a reason to. Back then it was hard to get a job as a Canadian new grad. I can't imagine it is easier now. Also if I do come back, I'll probably get hit with the international experience isn't canadian experience balony.

Hi chorkor,\nThank you so much for this very valuable information. I think its left for the individual who has already acquired the visitor's visa and with dual intent, to decide if they will bear the consequences of going to the boring locations where jobs are available. Unless someone going to Canada to socialise vs being on a sole mission to work and have something to take back home. Poverty in Africa is real my brother. For most people they have seen the worst in their home country, and they are at a stage where they will accept to work in those 'boring' places. \nEven if there is no 'mad man' to keep one company, at least the remote places have work. That might just be treasure to someone who had nothing back home but raw poverty.\n\nThank you Sir, and God bless you for helping us with information.

Let me make a very serious distinction . Canada is not a monolithic country . The people on the West Coast - British Columbia are culturally very similar to those living in Washington State and Oregon - total left wing granola - flakes and nuts. The Canadians on the East Coast are culturally similar to the US East Coasters- Joe Biden's people . \nThe people on Canada's Prairies - Alberta, Saskatchewan and the west side of Manitoba are similar to the US Midwest all the way down to Texas. Calgary, Alberta where I hail from has the largest annual outdoor rodeo in the world - the Calgary Stampede !. \nWe don't identify with the issues of the rest of Canada - we're Albertan's first and foremost !

In the 1960s and 70s, my parents and some of their friends left authoritarian Yugoslavia for Canada. Now, some of their children are leaving Canada for the same reason. I personally know at least 10 people who left Canada permanently in the last few years. Thank you Trudeau and the NDP/Liberal Party!

@ramyadelhanna\n Im in the U.K. came here when i was 19yrs, been here 30yrs now and just like you, Exiting th UK next year, doing my Last Job then one way ticket back to Kenya, \n\nNo more 1st World, Just Poverty and Money Printing and War's , No Future in the West, Greed has Consumed the Entire Civilization, Off to buy Land and get busy Farming and Animal Husbndry, Feel Sorry for the World, Future looks Turbulent, Titanic's are all Beached starting to List towards their Grim Fate. All my fellow Immigrants who i knew have Bailed out one by one, Don't want to be the one to Switch off the Lights as only 2 genuine friends left and they r also wrestlingwith the Gim Reality that its time to Go home if you care abot your Survival.

It not obligation to Palestine left there land . Palestine belong to Palestine

I left canada last year. The job opportunity is getting loss and housing is keep sky rocketing. I hope I contributed a vacancy to Canadian people.

Born and raised in Canada. This place blows. No idea why anyone would ever want to live here. It would be much better if more people left actually, it would make things more affordable.

DEI, CRT, SOGI 123, LGBT-Bully Cult, and every thing else on the left is all meant to divide us by any means necessary. Oh…I should add, CBC to the list. I own a convenience store, we watch little kids, bums, girls with big bags, sketchy looking minorities and guess who else, white people. Are we racists, or….do we follow certain groups due to experience? I’ll be glad when they defund the CBC so that they can shut down Market Place so we don’t have to deal with this pure propaganda.

BC = Bring Cash. We used to live there, left 5 years ago

As a canadian by blood, we already left the country two years ago. Glad we did

Hopefully after 5-10 years all the no Preindependnt pakiatanis will be left to have sympathy cry over partition and get the same reaction from emotional Indians.

Trudeau has been pushing frightening press and internet censorship laws, freezing bank accounts of protestors he disagrees with, and now is pushing a bill to jail citizens for ill defined 'hate speech' where the accusers can remain anonymous- like when he called people complaining that Chinese espionage actors shipped live experimental viruses to Wuhan from our Winnipeg Virology labs in 2019 'racists' and silenced them for 'conspiracy theories and hate speech' because his cabinet was bought off by China and investing in Chinese banks. Basically by using outrage politics terms as a campaign platform and cover, it enabled him to push bills through that enact authoritarian powers like China and Russia use to control speech, communication, news, and citizens themselves without limit, all while stopping investigations into the intense govt corruption scandals. Canada is losing it democracy and sliding into authoritarian left corruption

There is no future left in Canada !\nGroceries, rents, taxes, etc. will never go down, and are guaranteed to increase annually ! Where will it all end ?

Not only immigrants; my Canadian born children left Canada in 2016. Now U.S. citizens living and working in Alameda County, California.\nNot planning to return.

stop issuing visitor visa to Bangladeshis who are coming everyday in large numbers and filing fake asylum. Danforth and victoria park area are full of fake asylum seekers. They are laughing at our asylum process. Making videos how are they are getting free foods and money from the government. Canadian embassy in south east asia issuing visitor visa in thousands. For god sake why you have all these immigration path ways which takes years and a short cut way where people are coming as visitor and filing fake asylum. Few lawyers and RCIC AAGENTS are also involved. FAKE LMIAS are now on sell for 40000 cad. Its open secret now. Canadian embassy in south east asia issuing visitor visa right and left. Here how it works, someone who would never get a visitor visa and not eligible going on a tour in 3/4 countries in south east asia. They spend around 2000 dollars for it, once the passport got 3/4 visa stamp, they apply for canadian visitor visa with fake bank statements. After they get visitor visa upon arriving they just file fake asylum. Wow a plasaaaan.

Moved to canada in 2006. My dad recently left canada and I’m next to leave. Cost of living hasn’t kept up with my career.

I came to Canada on a scolarship and as soon as I got Masters, I left for the US, which was always my plan. So yeah, thanks Canada and taxpayers?

Not just immigrants are leaving... Canadians are also saying sayonara. I spent most of my life in Canada and recently left.

A lot of immigrants who moved here long ago are not happy with the current state of the country. The left government is leaning toward totalitarianism, everything goes down, prices are over the roof, basically doubled since Covid. And now with mortgage rates at 8% who can afford it???

I left Canada to Mexico 5 years ago. Rent 500 USD for 2 bedroom furnished apartment at sea side. My grocery 300 USD per month including food and drinks. Car insurance 400 USD a year. Working online.

I remigrated from Canada back to India bcoz of lack of savings/opportunity in my field. Came as PR in Dec 2019 left as Canadian citizen on July 2023. Did a masters for 2.5 yrs in between . I will always tell my friends and family not to come to Canada.

Left radical communist government ??

Left radical communist nation??

Canada is turning out like the USA.\nThats why i left !!!

I am in Canada for 17 years and I love this country. It literally saved my life. Although I have to admit that it is a matter of surviving nowadays. My husband is a senior piping designer and he can't find a job for more than a year and was on and off the job for last 6 years. I am an internationally trained doctor and I can't find anything for myself. I can't afford pursuing my profession as it's too expensive and takes years with no certainty thag you will even get into industry. So I'm looking for all other jobs. But I'm either overqualified or don't have Canadian experience. So we have money just for a few months to survive... With 2 kids it's even more stressful... We barely can afford our rent... And we can't go back home as we left it so many years ago, no connections for job there too. So we really just pray everyday...

A indian student left his home country to studies and seeking a better life in UK. Three years later he find himself living on the streets at Chelse as a homeless. Sad sad.

I left Canada a year ago for Texas \nAmerica is falling down too, just a little bit slower then Canada\nAll western civilization collapsing \nNobody cares about your “democracy” if they have nothing to eat and nowhere to live \nRussia is just a beginning of world rising against western civilization

I was born here and have plans to leave. A friend born in France moved here two years ago and just left this month. Another friend from Japan is trying to find somewhere else to live. Canada is not the paradise people think it is.

I left. Best decision ever!

Lived in Canada my whole life, everything costs so much im lucky if i have $50 left over after i pay everything.

People are so Dog Damned sick of this globalist/communist world takeover. People are starting to stand up. Thank God Texas has taken a stand and other border states are following suit. Also notice, the NGOs (tax funded communist groups responsible for massive illegal human smuggling operations, are funneling them all to Texas and not CA. This is exactly what the commie-left did to gain permanent power over CA.

The man interviewed at the end is why our son left the country for Europe after graduating from Queens. Canadians are addicted to immigration to stay relevant in a way not seen in other countries. There's a smug quality to it all. Oh how wonderful and accepting are we - in contrast to those Trump people to the south. Here in Halifax the changes are both stunning and alienating as the premier seeks to double the province's population by 2060. My family and I immigrated from the U.S. 20 years ago, and I doubt any of us will remain here much longer. Living in Canada has made me realize how Canadian I am not. I actually stand for something. Canada's future is mass immigration and digging things out of the ground and selling them to China and the US.

He is the kind of international student we don’t want to leave. But he will leave for sure and we will be left with scammers and cheaters from India.

A very nice way of saying no. Look at the history of the people who call themselves Palestinians and their relationships with Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Israel. They had the perfect opportunity when Israel left Gaza removing 10000 Israeli’s and even digging up graves. Look at what the Palestinians did in Lebanon ? They have destroyed everything left by Israel for them to profit from. They made trouble in Syria, Jordan and now Gaza. The Arabs have had enough of Palestinians and what they carry.

He went to live in Canada, but could not speak Egrish? You also left out how Canada treats it's own citizens when they protest by wanting to arrest them and freeze their money for protesting against a socialistic trudea.

I am actually very suprised to see the mainstream media cover such an important negative event that is unfolding.\nLately i feel we are being purposely left uninformed.\nKeep up the good work, and report it, good or bad.

A chinese couple left BC in months and move to Malaysia, their girl get bully by same boy for over a month in public daycare, school did nothing and school board refuse to refund any money.

Canada has always been a hard place I left in 2014.

Canada has always been a hard place I left in 2014.

Also, they don't want to take them in because the Arab world are using them as shields because if they left Israel would wipe Palestine/HAMAS away and they need HAMAS because they hate Israel so much.

Canada is a dump!\nI left in January from this overprized freezer.

Not recently but always it was different from what you hear about Canada.\nHowever, high costs of living are gone up at every country.\nI left Canada two years ago for a job in Europe. Prices went up here as well.\nBut one thing that is different: I came as engineer, I work as engineer. In Canada, that's impossible. As soon as you have an accent, you are considered as not qualified for the job. It like you are applying for the English teacher not engineer. It's hard for adults to change the accent. That's why it's easier to leave.

Welcome immigration-yes\nRipe with opportunities-hell no\nCome, come, be taxed to d*ath, earn money only for the gov't, never be able to afford a house, pay a small fortune for rent. Come, the Canadian gov't welcomes you, bring sh*t loads of cash and if you decide to leave, leave with nothing left. This is not the land of opportunity, it is the land of 'TAKING', taking everything you have, every dream you aspire to and every opportunity you've been promised.

I left canada 7 yrs ago and now live in Indonesia. Alhamdulillah.

I wonder if they realize that the American dream is not such a dream how hard they're gonna have to work because we have no more money left. We're so f****** far and debt. It's gonna take a centuries to dig out of it. Nobody is telling i'm not are they

Its a lose-lose situation. The immigrants dont realize that the citizens have zero incentive to help them because they will be putting their own children's future at risk. When i was 16, I could find an entry level job. Now, the kids cant even find a job because its filled with literally the lowest common denominator (3rd world immigrants mostly India) and they wont hire anyone who isnt Indian. What India doesnt realize is that the government has lied to them because we, the citizens, do not advocate for having what little work is left taken by people who are just DEI hires. As a Canadian, I only support citizen-ran business and nothing corporate.

Good… go live in Gaza , or whatever is left from it

Immigrants are leaving Canada?? ?‍♀️ but first they left India to run to Canada..so the report should actually analyse why people especially stusents are leaving India and running abroad..???

And here I left Canada because of the Indian migrants
