Because Canada SUCKS! Not enough free stuff! Canada needs to give immigrants pre paid 20k debit cards.

The Liberals and NDP have destroyed Canada.

In the past 2 years - I have spent 3 months in Toronto, and last year, 3 months in Montreal...and it is like the Tale of Two Cities! In Toronto, I stayed at a friend's off the park that abuts Queens St, and Dundas St. on the far side. I barely got a good night's sleep - from the constant wailing of Sirens at ALL Hours of the night/early morning! I witnessed several incidents of random violence - including on the trolly cars, and many of them involving homeless Indigenous people ...who were historically shit-on by Canada! In comparison to US Cities - Toronto minded me of problem-plagued SF, Seattle, and Portland. The Density factor reminded me of NYC, minus the Positive Street savvy that New Yorkers have in spades! I did meet some very nice people, but overall - Torontonians were uptight, concerned about money all the time, and sometimes - just downright rude! Fast-Forward to Montreal. I stayed in Le Plateau...renting a room for 3 months. Lovely House-mates - One Turkish/Polish Woman, and an Iranian Man - both were quirky, and Delightful! My rent was very decent, and my Host showed me all the affordable places to eat, swim for free, free Yoga in the parks...within 2 days, I felt at Home! It was 3 days before I even noticed a siren! Drivers stoped for pedestrians, and as it was summer - the bike-lanes were full of bike riders! The Green Spaces were plentiful, and Parc Mount Royal is a Terrestrial Paradise! Were there some social issues? - of Course! French being the official language, the Quebecois are a VERY Proud, and defiant lot! That was difficult at first, and then...learning some history of Quebec, you begin to understand their irascible defenses! There was some homelessness (a Fraction of what I see in the US, and Toronto!), and prices are creeping-up (the common complaint!), and there was a lot of construction, and road repairs - as Quebec is NOT a wealthy part of Canada, overall. In short - I miss Montreal DEEPLY! Toronto? - I have a good friend there, and I hope to see a few of the folks I met there, Again. Travel Impressions are mainly subjective, but I know where my heart, and affection lie!

Don’t come to Canada

I really don't get the outrage, lived in downtown chicago for 6 years and the prices for a shared apartment was 700/bedroom. From what I can see, Canada is just catching up. Ya'll getting mad doesnt help just level up and stop fear mongering.

Why so many people from india, Mexico and so? Don't get it, first off all Canada is way to cold for you guys, stay home....

Who wants to live in Canada anymore? I'm Canadian and don't want to live there anymore. Thanks Trudeau Government for f.....our county up.

Many immigrants leave Canada because of expensive housing, coast of living specially in British Columbia.

It seem like there are people in our political systems how are byist towards another's and favored there own I never see anything that's showing me otherwise we have a problem in canada and it's a forget and screw them tip of deal towards canadian born citizens why is this

I don’t live in Canada but the winter is the thing that I don’t like I was there on holiday In October November and did not like it

3 terms of this Liberal government has destroyed the advantages of immigration in Canada!

Canada had taken way too many people with no skills filling low wages jobs hardly enough to keep a roof over they heads and food \nHas become so expensive, shortages of affordable house is hard to find , people shouldn’t come to Canada now is not the time

You don't own nothing in Canada your car get Rusty and home belong to bank you hard you think you getting Rich but in Reality you are poor you loose jop bank take home and car even your girl friend leave you so corporations are Rich but Canadians are poor suffering

only immigrants will leave are students and people who just got fed up paying higher bills because after all if you make 35k to 75k and you need 3 jobs just to eat and pay bills why even stay here when back home is much cheaper , india does have 1 billion people and there cheaper to live there and they have cheap health care and cheap food , there is big difference between canada which is only 40 million and vers india 1 billion of people and yet there prices are cheaper and yet our prices just out right crazy !

Woke fascist Canada, unfortunately. We are getting there and in some ways we are worse / Sweden

Canada is not freezing during winter times at all. In all the provinces except preries the winter is average, -5/10 Celsus - that's not cold at all. Even in preries it's not always -20/30. A lot of days it's -5/10 there as well

I came to Canada and made research and considered to stay and made same conclusion that attractiveness of Canada is somehow a bubble . However I hope things will get better for this country and its beautiful people ??

Bhai Canada jane ka kharcha kitna aata he

I also plan on leaving next year after spending 10 years in Canada. I got my citizenship but men I lost more than I earned here. Spent thousands of dollars in taxes for NOTHING.

thank you young man for speaking up!!. I agree with everything u r saying and I encourage my young adult sons to leave Canada!! ?

Don't go to Canada it's the worst place for Indian immigrants

“Is there anything we could improve?” How about comparing Canada to other countries? If it's so bad, why would anyone, including yourself, want to continue living there?

Why these boarder crosser don’t stay in US, instead flee to Canada?

A few years ago I got job offer to work in Canada, it looked attactive in the beginning until we went over the offered wage which was slitghly above my income working in the US, the issue came up when I saw how much I would get net in my pocket after taxes, social security, etc, the amount was lower to my net income at that time, and comparing the higher cost of life in Canada (home rent, grocery, utilities, etc) vs USA, oh man!!, I had to turn it down. I cannot imagine how expensive it is to live in Canada these days, but for sure it must be a way higher. I kind understand why this decline of citizenship applications is happening.

I'm so confused. is that in India or Canada?

I have a theory; US lottery gave PR through a random selection, it allowed ourliers who otherwise will not qualify to get PR and move to america, these are the ones that start business and do random stuff that diversify and boost the economy. Canada PR system is based on point selection, points are earned from degree, work, language etc, this brings a specific type of people, people good in classroom, obedient people who look good on paper, these group are not risk takers, they will find a job, go back to school and struggle for the same type of opportunities. this places pressure on the system to cater to them. This is just my theory

These migrants did not really study their move and what would happen in Canada , and they now have to pay the price

Honestly, Canada used to be heaven, but ever since Trudeau brought in all these second class people, Canada has gone to hell.

The brains are still Arabic middle eastern Canada and they have the education and talent to speak. Now talking against a wonderful country people love to leave..

I left Canada almost 4 years ago. The quality of life outside Canada is much higher and you can actually afford to live a high quality lifestyle. I would never move back to live there full time again. It's too expensive, the taxes are way too high and the quality of life is worse than a 3rd world country. \n\nIf you are currently living in Canada I would suggest to leave as soon as you can and build options in other countries around the world.

Last December, I spent THREE DAYS in the Emergency dept waiting for a bed and to be admitted. My ailment? I was suffering from bacterial pneumonia. They bungled my medication as well. Canada's healthcare system is a joke. I was born in Canada and have watched the deterioration of our once once-vaunted OHIP system fall apart through mismanagement. Sad state of affairs indeed. That's just the tip of the Iceberg. How our nation treats veterans who have served our country and those with debilitating disabilities is atrocious.

Dont even compare. USA >>>>>> Canada.

So sad Canada accept you people and u spit in face.

As a Canadian I can officially say without a doubt in my mind there's foreigners on pretty well every jobsite in Atlantic Canada they come here with nar bitta $ and get put through college or university while our own people struggles working min wage jobs to make enough to get that chance.

Don’t come to UK, stay in Canada, it’s the same here.

International students coming to Canada should budget properly for tuition fees, housing and living expenses. There are too many stories of destitute international students living under a bridge or using the local food banks for subsistence.\n\n\nCanada should not be granting student visas unless they can demonstrate financial means to afford their education. Many international students come here and work part-time to partially subsidize their education. \n\nIt is not fair for Canada to help subsidize international students.

?? canada is good for labour not for educated... you need certification even after you are phd, you need pr and experience after have phd. no jobs for outsiders. only you can apply as labour with minimum salary

Indian political agenda to criticize Canada Indirectly ? Indian political parties sponsored channel. FYI please...there are still long queues from the world to come in Canada. Lol

Ive lived in Canada my entire life, and I am desperate to leave the country to make a better life for my family. The sad thing is, I dont see how I will ever be able to afford to leave. With two jobs working seven days a week, I cannot afford to pay all of my bills every month. I dont even own a house.

Especially Indians... No terrorists in Canada.

canada need a qualified leader.\nJustin Trudeau openly supports Terrorism for votebank politics.\nHonours a Nazi Soldier inside their own parliament.

People from all over Canada are moving to Alberta , Calgary in particular. The cost of living is less than Ontario, Quebec and BC. The proximity to the mountains is great. Calgary is a beautiful city with great neighborhood’s and parks. The technology sector is attracting a large number of companys to Calgary because of the reasons above but also because the work force is one of the youngest and most educated,mainly because of the training for the oil and gas sector. Being just over an hour from one of the most beautiful national parks in the world doesn’t hurt. Banff National park. Also with access to many summer vacation spots in south and central BC. All these things make Calgary a great place to live. Alberta also has many other cities and towns worth checking out. With a competent and caring provincial leader in Danielle Smith, Alberta’s future is looking bright.

No more immigration. We have had enough of such folks, in Canada, now

I was born and raised here. I am doing my exit plan as I cannot afford to live here as young-adult living on my own. The government knew exactly what they were doing when they allowed 9 million people to come here in a short amount of time. How can you provide billions for foreign aid but can't provide basic necessities to your own citizens? I have cut EVERYTHING extra out of my life and even while working a full-time job I cannot survive in my own country. Canada is a country for the elite, cliche style immigrants, and for the ultra wealthy who pass down intergeneration wealth. A failed health care system that provides little to no services at which you pay out of pocket to get access with private health care providers. You can't depend on transit as it is the mercy of the corrupt transportation/commissioners aka unions and the cost of gas is out of this world. I AM SO LUCKY I went to university and graduated when I did because the same degree would have cost 15k-20k more...food is super expensive...renting an apartment is seen as a form of luxury....you have to know someone to get basic things done. What a shameful society...a society that treats immigrants with upmost respect only to turn around looking the other way when it comes to homelessness...the housing crises...lack of employment oppts, gosh I can go on. My brother was lucky enough to move to Dubai and cash in on his savings by investing it into his properties where he pays 0 tax on his salary from his job.

Canada sucks now

Indians do come to Canada . Stay where you are

Canada is a ponzi-scheme, particularly for newcomers and new starters. Canada was more welcoming to immigrants but that has not been the case for the last 20 years. It is an illusion.

It's interesting that immigrants are choosing to leave Canada whereas migrants are staying..

Because Canada is a Communist country now.\nWe are all trying to leave.

After that should be kicked out of canada and put on black list
