I’m a local Canadian and I very much agree with you. I’m planning on leaving as well and never moving back here. Canada used to be nice but now it’s just extremely expensive, residents are RIDICULOUSLY overtaxed, we’re not getting back the value of what we were taxed for, large cities like Toronto are overpopulated and thus the culture is highly diluted, left wing government, not to mention the cold wet and dark winters these days :(

Hi,\nwhat if we don't have any last name according to the passport \nI am not able to leave that blank

They decide to leave as soon as they realize immigration is a scam and that what they see in their country are all lies.

He's just reciprocating the same statement the Arab countries in the region always use so that they have no responsibility over Gaza. Israel has offered the control and responsibility of Gaza to Egypt and other Arab countries several times, but the Arabs of Gaza are so extreme that they fear them destabilizing their own countries so they leave the problem to Israel to deal with.

Decades of racists immigration policies, and foreign policies are directly responsible for this. We are failing to properly process these peoples legal requests for asylum, because the immigration department has been defunded and chronically understaffed on purpose.\n\nAccording to both US and international law, we have a legal obligation to accept, process and grant asylum requests as quickly as possible. Unfortunately we are not honoring this important legal obligation, and have chosen instead to put barrier after barrier in place, and leave these poor people to languish for months, and years in an unsafe country. \n\nWe have failed these people, and we have broken both US an international law, making these people, who have already endured unspeakable horrors, suffer needlessly, because the religious right are hateful, selfish, racist hypocrites, who have forgotten where their families have come from, and have dishonored the very principals that this country was founded upon. E PLURIBUS UNUM!

My wife and I plan to leave British Columbia and move to another province. It's just expensive to live and to retire in BC.

We’re leaving Canada to let more room for the Asians

Palestinians will never leave their land..Israeli are the refuse not the Palestinians..

Palestinians who don't want to leave their land should not allow Hamas to control their land either then. If their land is so sacred, why does Hamas get to launch terror attacks from their land?

I'm Canadian born and raised.The main problem is too many people are left leaning so we have the same problems as California,to much bureaucracy,high taxes,crime,homelessness,drugs etc that's all a biproduct of liberalism.High taxes are needed to fund left wing policies like the climate scam,giving billions to ukraine,womens groups,gay groups etc the useless bureaucrats have to justify their position so millions of unnecessary and pointless policies are imposed.I'm a welder and the bs you have to go through is so extream many just give up and do something else.As for immigrants it effects them too so we have doctors driving cabs or nurses working at mcdonalds etc these problems really started to be an issue when Canada got progressive in the mid 90s and never recovered.I heard 50k of born and raised Canadians have been leaving every year for the last 3 years with no end in sight.My countrymen need to wake up and dump left wing thinking and bring back the conservatism from the past that built this country or there won't be a Canada.

That was a bs answer, What's the difference between the Ukraine war and Israeli and the palestine war? Did the ukrainian not have a claim to there land ?\nDid the the Ukrainian want to leave no, but it doesn't stop the European country to help a little bit, just by taking some of there people in.

I came here on 28 August as international student in Vancouver from India and just after 4 days I left canada on 1 sep and came back to india. It's shocking to say within 4 days I returned back, canada is not worth it, people from all world are mixed there it causes problem of fights and #other matters, survival is difficult and cold conditions, that's why population is less there, it is aim of govt that's why attracting migration towards canada but not worth it, we're going there by leaving various things in home country such as home, car, family, nation, property this is foolishness by leaving all utilities of life and to start again from zero in Canada it is big foolishness aslo by leaving nationality, doing struggle of just settling, In my view , we have limited time in life, we're having things and doing hardwork to do those things agin in other nations, its better to do in own country. It doesn't matter opportunites are there in Canada etc, every nation has opportunity, you're from Singapore it's best country do there not leave nation, everyone not have to migrate all have to do in their home countries. In comparison of my country india, canada gone too back from India serioulsly, food is not fresh there freezed fruits same fruits and veges in stores for months, if you like this then reply back I can share my personal and known friends ground REALITY experiences with you..

May you choose the right country for your family. I would have suggested ?????? for diversity and tolerance and quality of life and the $$$ you bring with you going very very far, but our crime is sky high and our government leaves a lot to be desired. Bonus point is South Africa supports Palestine. South Africans, in general, are cool.

cowards en weak people always give up en leave fast ..so stop complain en fight,,you just a spoild western

Not exactly what she was expecting. No, the Palestinians are not leaving their land. Next?1

I can understand why people want to leave or not come to Canada, weather, cold weather can last up to six months and the summer isn’t always that great. Another reason, taxes…. Canadians are taxed to death here, you are taxed on everything here and if you make good money and aren’t paying enough taxes, you could pay a good chunk come tax time. Job market sucks, there are lots of jobs but these jobs don’t pay the greatest. Cost of living has skyrocketed over the years and in my personal opinion, since Justin Trudeau has been PM, everything has doubled in cost, so many people are struggling, many young couples can’t afford a house, rent has been on the rise over the years and so many people rely on the food banks, the highest it’s ever been in Canadian history, crime has gone up and drug use has also gone up and oddly enough, ever since Trudeau has been in charge and I’m sure some will disagree with this but Canada was never like this before Trudeau.

they are not wanted and can't leave,, Jordan took them in before and had to kill 25,000 after they tried to take over Jordon,,The U N. has made it impossible for them to leave, Egypt refuses all of them,,Gaza is a advance army post for Iran has been since 1948,,No Arab country will take in one refugee,,they send money in to finance the destruction of Israel,,

There are many reasons why people are leaving?

So you came to a non Muslim country why? Ty for leaving.

That reporter doesn’t get it. Why would they help to remove the very population that they left there in the first place in order to weaponize them? Like who’s going to wage their proxy war against the Jews if they help them leave?

Those who wants to leave Canada please do. I like my Canada less people and quiet.

Nobody is forcing people to come or to stay - They can leave or stay where they’re and Canada will be just fine -

why would you ever leave Singapore...one of the most modern, clean, and safe cosmopolitan cities in the world for Canada??? I'm Canadian and have lived in Beijing for 18 years. Much better!!

You're pretty.................but this is one of the most boring videos I've ever watched. Maybe this is why Canadians hate Americans. We're so much more interesting than you are! EDIT:) Just kidding. I know why you hate us. The CBC has programmed you to feel that way so you won't leave. Love ya! :)

The privilege of leaving to a place of your choosing because of your parents choices to immigrate here. Canada is imperfect just like everywhere else. (Unless you are privileged financially, living in a bubble) you won't see the imperfections of other countries until you are there among the people long term, because the impoverished are hidden away better and the alternative lifestyles are forced underground because they are not free to be. All the best on your move!

It's great because whoever leaves is just a quitter. So the one deserving to stay will stay.

anyone who tries to push the narrative that neighboring states don't like or want to help the palestinians, doesn't fully grasp one of the main concepts of this conflict. they consider this their homeland and they know if they leave, israel will not let them return. just like the millions of other palestinian refugees that currently live in neighboring states.

If they don't want to leave then what's the problem opening the border?

Sad but so true! I have been here for 16 months but I already thinking to leave the country this’s unaffordable even though I’m making 24.50 CD an hour. \nI don’t know how people that make the minimum survive

As a hindu Im happy youre leaving Canada and moving to a muslim country.

Good answer. Why did all Israelis leave the illegal settlements after the rockets fell? because they know the settlements are illegal.

mimimimimimmii IM LEAVING CANADA - LOOK AT ME ! IM LEAVING ! mimimimimimim ... PFFFFF CRY MORE

I'm from England and have been in Canada 12 years. I completely agree about being isolated, I'm in Manitoba and will be leaving here for good within the next year and heading back to Europe, I've had enough. Canada is also very boring and in my time here I'm so grateful to all the new immigrants I've met from China, India, Philippines, Vietnam etc.. who have been very friendly and kind to me.

If the palistinians dont want to leave there land then why do they fight for it if Israel is not going to stop. The Ukrainians are fighting for there land and leaving other countries to fifht agenst russia thennwhy dont the palistinians.

Good to hear leaving for genocide....Allah bless you ...free Palestine....salam from india....may Allah give you a very good life....we should stand with humanity no matter who we are....lots of support to the Palestinians...walekum assalam brother and sister...

If you invade and exploit those countries, these people will come to your country for better conditions. Maybe instead of recognizing Israel, you should stop dealing with Muslim countries and leave them alone. Otherwise, these people will continue to come to your countries. They come to Turkey because of your countries.

From Mississauga here cant wait to leave Canada but stuck due to no work. Its a prison I swear.

Having done a similar voyage, my two-pence is that, resources permitting, at least until you have really properly tried the other country out for a period of time, I'd recommend retaining a base, even if a small one, in Canada, leaving your longer term stuff there rather than packing everything that you own and dragging across the world. In my experience, the most enhancing and liberating situation is one where you get to enjoy the privilege of being able mix the best of the two worlds. When abroad in the other Muslim country you will have great moments but - guaranteed - also a fair share of disappointments and negative experiences. Even if you think you have thought of everything, you don't know what you don't know, or how you may feel, or what and where is better, until you've spent a longer time over there. I could write a book by now but will just leave you with go, explore, see, try, but ideally have an easy way to come back to Canada to regroup (to potentially try again, better and differently with a bit more experience). Wish you the best, insh'Allah.

For the frist time ever my husband and I are talking about leaving Denmark as well for the exact same reasons you mentioned. It is a very hard decision to make and we don’t know where we would go but I have thought about Malaysia

00:01 We are leaving Canada due to the harsh winters.\n01:17 High cost of living and seasonal depression are the main reasons for leaving Canada.\n02:36 Lack of Islamic environment in Canada\n03:54 Concerns about safety for daughters wearing hijab\n05:03 Growing up in a place without visible Muslims to now being in a place with many visible Muslims and considering the impact on their children.\n06:22 Canada has deteriorated and is not safe for raising kids.\n07:40 Leaving Canada due to government support of genocide in Gaza and Palestine\n09:02 Leaving Canada for new opportunities

I am not a Muslim; but, I totally understand your decision to leave Canada. \nGood luck!

As a born and raised Canadian of immigrant parents, i have definitely noticed the increasing influx of people leaving this country in recent months. This issue has popping up more in the news, just around this year. Canada needs immigrants, thats true for the long term it will benefit the country, but right now its more of the drawbacks that are manifesting. Accepting More immigrants means that more resources are needed, that means and so many tax paid social services and benefits like housing, healthcare, welfare, citizenship applications, waitlists, wait times, lineups, everything is getting longer and pushed back. I get what everyone feels.

Well if Palestinians existed who wanted to leave why not grant them that?

I am muslim canadien and have the same though for years and years I want to leave this country too ='( for muslim country

No,quebec is the worst half of your paycheck is gone in taxes,parlement has stupid minister,school are not interresting, traffic is terrible,rent is high and the prime mister of canada dont get along with the prime of quebec,to many law are made just to leave your trace,

Your reasons for leaving are valid and well thought out- i pray ?? that you find your new home country quickly. You both are awesome- i can understand lack of community and Spiritual support. Sending ❤

I respect your decision to leave Canada and I believe that you act according to your beliefs but as far as hate crimes against Muslims are concerned, they are committed the majority of the time by Muslims.

Palestinians are from Palestine. Why would they want to leave their homeland?

I'd give anything to be able to leave US. U should look at Dubai, Turkey, Morrocco

On behalf of this white Canadian born woman, I know exactly why you are leaving Canada and I'm so very sorry. I don't want your children to be in danger here either and we all know...they are. It's getting worse everyday. Much love and I pray you have an easy journey.
