I moved to Vancouver from the UK, but moved back home to the UK. Struggled so much to make ends meet. However, thinking of moving back to Canada to a different area to give it another go. Who knows what will happen, but it has similar problems to the UK I find.

Canada, USA, France etc... All these countries are collapsing in silence. If you earn lots of money it's ok... The rest of us are just unwanted anymore it seems...

It doesn´t sound like you were ever feeling home in Canada. Canada is always been Christian-majority, progressive country that sides with US and UK politically. If you can´t accept it then you won´t be satisfied in Canada.

I never have been to Torento Canada, but I have seen pictures of it in a book.

For me to resolve this problem Justine T. should step down as prime minister. Am from Calgary, when Harper was the Prime minister lots of jobs are available I even remember some establishments are begging for workers to apply to their establishment. But when Justine T. stepped in as prime minister the economy of Canada went down the drain so fast that a lot of citizens became jobless and homeless.

*I HAVE NEVER seen ANY of my Muslim friends targeted in the LEAST* That said, this was also founded as a predominantly white Christian nation just as Saudi Arabia etc.. was founded by Arabs, Mexico by Mexicans etc... SO YES, there are more Churches, or was, 70 CHRISTIAN Churches have been burned in the past couple years with almost no news coverage or outrage, if ONE Mosque or Synogauge was burned to the ground we would be inundated with news about hate crimes. Maybe Canada and multiculturalism isnt a good fit for you.

If there's homelessness in Canada than why canada govt invites new people to their country. What is the reason

I've been living in Toronto for 2 years, and I would say Toronto is one of the most overrated cities. I'm from Japan, Osaka and lived in Tokyo awhile as well. I lived in San Jose and Seattle for a while. I'm convinced that Toronto is the worst city TBH or probably Canada is perhaps not as cool as people expect. People say Canadian health insurance is pretty decent compared to American health insurance, but I think Canadian medical system's getting broken, and sooner or later it's gonna be like American medical system unless they pay extremely high taxes.

So what your really trying to say is Canada aint what it use to be and don’t move here?

Seems like Canada is becoming more & more hostile to any sort of foreigners. ?\nOf course, this is coming from an outside perspective. I just go by what I see on the news.

Canada jaane Tak ek tension\nJaane ke baad waapas aane ka regret vaala dusra tension \nNice ?✌️ Peace

You moved to Canada at the worst time, this is rough for everyone now, well because of politics and stuff. BEFORE 2016 life was great! I was able to buy a house in GTA, find jobs no problem, lots of jobs even during 2008, make good money to rent and save for house. And go out every weekend wow! How about now? You are lucky if you can find a place to rent! Current gov really messed things up! Too bad new comers will just think this is normal, and now know how bad the gov made it for everyone and still making it worse with making up new taxes making everyone poorer, except themselves.

5:13 Wild how you want to leave Canada now that there are so many more Muslims. ? \nAre you implying your life was better in Canada before all the non-assimilation immigration?

Singapore to Canada is insane…degrading…

There is no places to live in canada they've been destroyed by government

I am completely convinced to stay outside of Canada. Thanks for the video and for saving me lots of money and energy.

I. Have. Travel. From. Russian. To. China. Also. The. Middle. East . Also. Malaysia. In?donesis. Most. Muslim. Countries. Are. Police. States. I. Am \n Living. Here. For. 55. Yes. Igree. We. Have. Many. Problem. But. In. The \n Final. Analysis. Canada. Is. By. Far. The best. Place. To. Live

Malaysia is an excellent choice because it's the Abu Dhabi of Asia with lower cost living than Canada, good economy, great infrastructure, warm weather and low crime which perfect for family-oriented people.

Good, cause where would Canada go if you decided to stay? ?

This is a very thoughtful and balanced review. As a retired Canadian who had a good job for most of my life, I'm saddened by the decline in almost all areas of life, lifestyle and and people's aspirations in this country. This decline actually seems quite rapid, I would say from 2015 onwards. Housing in major centres was expensive, but it has skyrocketed in the past decade. There has been a decline in many institutions: 1. health-care, especially noticeable since the pandemic that coincided with many boomer medical staff retiring, but also by our sclerotic institutions refusing to enable foreign-trained doctors to work here. Many foreign-trained doctors in the Vancouver area are doing jobs way below their qualifications while many people cannot even get a family doctor. Crazy. Econonically, there seems to have been no plan at all from the government as we exited the pandemic. At least the US had a plan, to 'build back better'. Our government just floats along as if everything is fine, when the decline is very visible especially to older Canadians. We have admitted 1/2 a million people a year from overseas, so our economy should reflect this and show an upswing. But no, we're in a 'technical recession' as of December and probably a real recession as of last week. I have never voted Conservative in my life, but Trudeau is a flaky dimwit with a famous name who has no clue what he is doing. A fool, in fact. He's mismanaged our foreign relations beyond belief, and nothing has improved domestically. When Pierre Poilievre says 'Canada is broken', I believe it. We deserve much better leadership; in Canada's case, the rot does come from the top. Justin the entitled idiot is much more like his mother than his father.\n\nLong rant. Anyway, I just wanted to praise your balance, and your decision to stay for now. Moving from one country to another is a huge life-change and you have worked hard to be here. I only hope conditions improve for you and your husband in the near future. Will look out for your future videos.

I wish you and your family well and I agree Canada is going down hill...I am not a Muslim but respect the culture and have Muslim friends. The Canadian governments position on Gaza is sickly perverse and is complicit in the current genocide in Gaza.

Hello Saleh Family, I am not a Muslim and never understand why people from Muslim countries decide to move to Canada. You knew well in advance Canada has winter, no Muslim culture and environment, no Arabic language, hijab is not welcomed, etc, etc. Why not to stay at Palestine where you came from, why not to move to countries with same weather, same religion, same culture, same language, be a Muslim majority at countries like Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia which is next door to country you born. Please clarify what the point

I'm not go no lie !\nThat's a good news for Canada ?

Please leave asap.\n\nIslam is all you care about. You don't respect Canada. \n\nHave fun in your muslim country of choice.

It's simple. A huge number of mostly males from countries that hate the western way of life have been imported into Canada. They bring their tribal and violent ways along with them and refuse to integrate. This is where to the increase in crime is from and along with that we now have illnesses that haven't been seen in the west in decades. You say that Toronto is a diverse city, well diversity is destroying Canada and all western countries. I was born in Toronto but there isn't enough money in the world to make me move back. Good riddance.

All what you said is 100% true. I've been living in Canada non-stop since 1998. Back then things were different but not as much. Slowly but surely Canada is a living proof that multiculturalism is a failed model. Europe recognized this long ago.

Canada is not safe at all especially in Toronto the justice system is so bad there’s convicts walking everywhere and someone gets shot or stabbed everyday and everything is so expensive it’s outrageous and the rent is to expensive even some new students that come here abroad go homeless beacaus it’s so expensive

Canada is still a good country

Thanks to the carbon tax. Canada is now too expensive. They are bringing in too many immigrants with not enough housing. We love everyone, and you are all welcome. Chinada is now a communist country.

Muslims in Canada complaining about the lack of a Muslim environment? Really entitled. Haven't heard Christians in Dubai complaining about a lack of a Christian environment

Canada is one of the best countries in the world… Our Canada ?? like your outfits very patriotic …. Good bye ???????

She isn't from Canada./

Canada about 20 years ago and before that actually use to be a really nice place to live in. However Canadians voted in two disastrous political leaders that have ruined Canada. Stephen Harper and especially Canada has really gone downhill under the disastrous,evil, incompetent leadership of Justin Trudeau. Moral of the story is this. Where ever you are in the world choose your political leaders wisely otherwise if you choose poorly once great place to live in like Canada once was can be turned into a hellhole by terrible political leaders and their underlings..

I left Canada almost two years ago due to housing costs

I heard Canada will renaming their country into Khalistan.?

Can you guys please drop off your Canadian passports before you leave Canada.?

YES EVERYONE RIGHT DECISION LEAVE CANADA

Shock! Canada does not have an Islamic 'environment', as does Dubai or Malaysia!!! A country founded by Christians from Europe, based on Christian traditions and European political institutions, social norms and culture, and whose population is 75% European and 83% self-reported as Christian or is culturally Christian (you know, people celebrating Christmas and Easter), umm, how should I put it, is Christian-European. Muslims are a small minority. Good luck with your life elsewhere.

The problem with Canada's economy? T-R-U-D-E-A-U and the liberals. Not once, but twice, with Trudeau senior and now Mini-Me Trudeau. Throw Trudeau and the liberal bums out of power for good and Canada would become one of the healthiest economies in the world.

I live in Vancouver, CANADA, and it SUCKS, it's slowly but surely becoming a new THIRD WORLD COUNTRY!!!\nUnless you come from a country worse than Canada such as India, china, the Philippines, etc., etc., you won't be impressed!!!

Because Canada is ran by NAZIS.

Stop this bullshit, people come and leave in every country. The number of people coming to Canada is higher than the number of people leaving Canada.

life in the u.s. is way better. if you look at all the major cities in canada, they are in close proximities from the major u.s. cities, which means is that the economy in canada is very dependent on the u.s. so unless canada will find ways from getting out of the u.s. influences, which i don't see why should even try that, life in canada will never be better than the mighty next door neighbor, and the same thing goes with mexico as well

Jugaux in Canada is for ppl who belong there. U will not get anything easy. Canadians will not allow it. It’s their country.\nCanada is not a country to go to if you have options in life. If u have a semi decent life in india please ever go to Canada . Useless place .\nFood is bad , horrible education medical is low standards. Discrimination to the max. U think they will accept u if u speak Canadian English???? ? they will hate u more if u speak their slang. Drugs are guaranteed for kids unless u r very wealthy.\nThey valued kids life cuz they will drug them, screw the kids and use them.\nDrugs are legal even cocaine. Prostitution is legal. Housing crisis is rampant. Bisexuality is legal. Transgendered cult is Morse powerful n prominent. What type of future can u expect?

People are trying to cross the border from Canada to come in to US. Things are getting bad there.

I guess you will be changing the name of your channel from 'Living in Canada' to 'Leaving Canada'

The reason behind all these factors except the last one is socialism. No matter if comes from the right or the left. But a decade of government under Trudeau's policies only made it worse. I think it's fair to say that the reason why people are leaving Canada is mainly socialism but I guess it would be a too short video without getting too much into politics.

My family emigrated to Vancouver about 20 years ago from Singapore like you do. That was one of the best gifts that I can give the family. Canada is one of the most livable place in the G7 countries. It maybe hard to start like everybody else. Canada can make you a complete person while Singapore make you half a person because lots of nature and beauty not there and with no voice to speak and resolve your life in Orchard road and malls only. That why you should live in Canada.

I read all the complaints about Canada then leave, no one is stopping you. Oh but were to go....soinds like sour grapes to me...

Small population small business! Less opportunities less development! Compare with US the population is 8 times of Canada, and most of the people in Canada are in BC and ON, that’s not healthy at all ! If you talking about housing problems simply its the government policies created the consequences over the years , sufficient land but super slow development due to inefficiency, the housing problem is expected
