If you live in Canada, you don’t have to wear a hijab, but if you go to a Muslim country, you don’t have to wear it

I hope it worked out for you man… as a Canadian, I can say that as much as Canadians love to pretend like we’re super open and welcoming, that’s largely not the case. I’ve witnessed some really disgusting treatment of immigrants first hand, and I have a lot of friends/ coworkers who are immigrants from Latin America and the Middle East, and I’ve heard a lot from them about the micro aggressions that they get from Canadians everyday, the dirty looks they get when speaking their native languages in public, and the immense pressure to assimilate. What you were saying about feeling like you’re always reminded that you’re an outsider in Australia, I also hear that a lot from immigrants here in Canada… I hope that Canada can be a better place for you, and you can feel more at home here, but the u fortunate truth is that the idea that Canadians just welcome immigrants with open arms and that everyone is welcome here is largely a myth… a lot of Canadians unfortunately are just xenophobic, racist, nationalistic dickheads and they’re not shy about it

It seems there's an exageration here since Trudeau has just accepted to receive the Palestinians hamas to Canada.

There’s a lot of info online. Despite that immigrants are still pouring in. I know many are leaving and regret coming in the first place. Do your research. Remember you will most likely be leaving with less than you came with. Canada used to be a great place. Not no more

I think you guys are making the right choice...there are plenty of Muslim countries to move in to..so instead of trying to change Canada to suit you better you would move to a place that already suits you.. glad for you to make a good decision for your family.

Masha Allah. \nI have moved my family from Australia to Pakistan. Alhamdulillah your 5 reasons are same as mine. \nAllah bless you all with highest level of Imaan and Taqwa. \nBless you and your family. \nMy kids are aged 14,12 ,10 and 1yr old. My wife supported me a lot to take this decision. This is not an easy task as you guys were born in Canada. But your sacrifice will be return in great great ajer here in duniya and in Aakhira.

People came to Canada to get away from there own kind and come to Brampton and see there are brown people everywhere ? my friend came from India and he was like what the $&@& . People go were there kind are Brampton all Punjabi. Ever area has there own people. And Punjabi people only move were there family allready lives . They do t go anywhere else that a nother problem.

great decision :) canada is not culturally compatible with muslims, and if your unwilling to assimilate into canadian culture the best option is definitely to leave!

This is Canada. Not the middle East. Show some respect.

you are smarter than the rest o canada

May Allah reward you with Jannah, it is a 100% correct decision, knowing that the Prophet Alayhi Salam forbade living in an environment where the call to prayer is not heard. \nBe ready for trials, because whenever a person says he believes and does something right, Allah tests how sincere he is in that act. Maybe your next home will be smaller, and your salary will be lower, and maybe you will think that you should never have left Canada, but those thoughts are definitely from shaytan. So be determined and persevere on your way to Jannah. I also left England and never regretted it. \nI would suggest Novi Pazar in Sandzak, Sarajevo in Bosnia or a city you like in Turkey, if you can't settle in Saudi Arabia, which is a haven for a religious soul. \nIf you need some help with those places, feel free to contact me. \nSalam Alaikum

Canada is not a country it is a system which is proper for refugees coming from war torn countries, those who know how to milk the system otherwise you are fucked.

TYSM TO 3/4 OF MY GRANDPARENTS FOR IMMIGRATING TO CANADA AND NOT THE US RAHHHHHHHH ????????????????????

Why did your family originally emigrate to Canada? Why not move to another Muslim country to begin with?

This is utter BS. Canada is one of the best countries in the world, and I live in dumb-ass Alberta!

Best decision ever. I hope more muslims will follow your path. Very proud you are following the call of God somewhere you can be free. So relieved you guys are starting to disperse. Make Canada free of muslims again. inshallah ??

Seems a propaganda campaign after conflict with India.Recently Canada was ranked the top amongst country to live with.

I'm a Christian and I can relate to many of the topics you mentioned. Sad how Canada have become an intolerant country.

I am Malaysian currently living in Alberta. If I may add 1 more point which made me feel strongly not to move to Canada is the healthcare accessibility. \n\nIt is very important to me and my family and we do not see it getting any better anytime soon. To those who are thinking of coming (settling down) into Canada, please seriously consider this factor before you made the jump. At least you shouldn’t be surprised.

Real estate prices are also inflated by the government policies that insure subprime debts (through CMHC) and not hold banks accountable.\nAbout 20% of mortgage have negative amortization, that's basically debts that are endless where people payment do not even cover the interest and they pay no capital. That is 20% that could be supply to the market. \nAdd to that over leveraged investors, rich investors (legit or with money to launder) and corporations that scope up properties and government that takes so long to approve building permits that it is barely worth it to build in Canada, you have a massive unaffordability and bubble.

I know MANY people who LOVE living in Canada so I won't WASTE A SINGLE SECOND watching your video and gave it a THUMBS DOWN

I have been wanting to leave Canada for last 10 months. All the best with what lies ahead.

The global cabal has intentionally destroyed Western countries. I don't blame you for leaving. Anybody that has a better place to go, a homeland they came from, should probably leave Canada and the USA before it gets much worse. And it will get much worse.

high cost of living it makes sense to leave Canada all together . You are taxed to death in Canada every thing cost more Canada is a great place if you all ready have lots of money . But if you don’t it’s hard. I find it so weird when they ask for Canadian experience when you just came to Canada I blame the employer they make it difficult for people to get hired and in return people leave to find a job in a different country I did the same thing came to Canada to look for work working in IT and I didn’t get IT job because I did t have any Canadian experience. After two years of working at a job that was not even what I studied I left Canada and found a job that I studied for I got a good job in America Long island New York and never looked back……. I get paid double then I would have if I had gotten a job in Canada any way ….. forget Canadian experience it’s not worth moving to Canada the country has changed. You pay more for everything in the states you get things for a lot less . Car insurance in Canada is so expensive……… do t get me started on the winter ?

3:00 because Canada is not a Muslim country , as simple as that . I’m not being mean , just saying \n\nGood luck !

Canada is more of a European type country whilst USA is that stressed out piece

Seriously Canada is becoming 3rd World country..silently.

why should the public citizens have to hear call to prayer five times a day? Canada has freedom of religion, which also means freedom FROM religion

Never mind. For one that leaves there are 50 in line waiting to immigrate to Canada. In a globalized world you can live where you feel more comfortable. Some Canadians and immigrants move because they can not stand those looong winters. Some move because they think Canada is too liberal. But at the end of the day , you must adapt to Canada. Canada, its weather and polices will NOT adapt to you.

Very good objective video. I grew up in Toronto and had many great experiences in the city as well as commuting from west Toronto into the city for five years of high school (grade 9 to grade13). At an very early age I used to fearlessly ride buses, street cars and the subway system with no concerns of crime or potential violence in my mind. I wouldn't suggest this now for a young person unless you have 2 or 3 marshal arts black belts in your resume! The very same circumstances exist in Vancouver...quite possibly x's 2. My family and I now live a short distance east of Vancouver, but the city has changed about 10,000% since I lived there from the late '70's to the late '90's. I don't mind saying that I believe most of the problems/issues in Toronto, Vancouver and many other cities in Canada have been accentuated by poor policy decisions at all levels of government...municipal, provincial and federal...particularly since 2015 aka the J Trudeau era. I would like to share this video with MP Pierre Poilievre is that is OK with you. JV.

i moved to the uk two years ago with my 5 boys and wife. the opportunities in the UK were just too large to ignore for myself and my wife. and partially my step son. myself and my wife both got higher salaries for the fields we were already in and football is more important in the UK than canada where hockey is the dominant sport. it took along time to adjust. but overall recently my wife and i took a romantic trip to london this past new year’s eve and we both agreed this was the best decision for our family and children. we are happier here in the UK than we were in Ontario. and that’s what it’s about. quality of life. go back to canada? Canada is a broken nation and it’ll never be what it once was.

Canada is a debt plantation for bankers. Freedom doesn't exist here.

What a great lose for Canada. If all the Muslims leaves, what will happen to this country?

Good video and honest. As a born in Canada Canadian I agree that making friends here is tough. Not sure why. The taxes suck. I have lived abroad in Asia and South America and had a much higher standard of living than in Canada. Not sure why people want to move here since I want out.

If you want to live under Sharia law move out of Canada or the USA. America is a Constitutional Republic with no State religion.

The first economic problem in Canada is the Liberal Party and its PM.

The cost of living crisis is a worldwide problem, not just Canada.

I don’t like Canada ?? specially because of cold ? weather.

?Good video. I retired young before 30 to leave the US and Canada to travel around the world.

the issue with new immigrants coming to canada is they don't know about shit, there is so many services available you just have to know, i'm sorry that nobody in your circle helps you maybe cause they themselves don't know either but have faith, i'll help you if you want, my family has been year for only 200 years, i don't know everything but i can at least point you in the right direction

This is what I have been hearing from people living in Canada but then I wonder what about rest of the world. Whole global economy is in a depression there are countries suffering a lot worse than Canada. So, I think people will continue moving out of their base countries to look for employment and better life.

Living the dreams in canada awesome y complain

Canadian employers ask for Canadian employment experience BECAUSE Canada only has LOW PAYING JOBS and BAD Economy. It is that simple

Arctic temperatures with a slice of totalitarianism...that's Canada!

Growing population won't help growth of economy which you can see cleary Indians leaving their country due to lack of jobs and opportunities. And Canada especially not able and ready for influx of people coming to this country. Bringing more and more immigrants are just sole purpose of bringing money into the country to run the economy. And once you are here then you are trapped. Some people do well but not all. Canada has shortages in every field and sectors. There are qualified immigrants to fill the gap but the older generations don't let the control go out of their hands and lose their paycheque and hegemony.

I moved back to the Philippines after a year in Canada. I missed eating at restaurants, travelling and buying nice things. Those are just things I cannot sustain in Canada. My lifestyle here is much better.

Good riddance. Good for both you and canada.

indoctrination in Canada? OMG. Islam doesn't believe in discrimination? Whoa. Try Gaza.

in 1997, it was good in Canada. 4 liter milk was only 2.99. now 6.99.\nvery expensive, so I feel very frustrated about prices, so I refrain from buying something, but just reuse again or fix it. also, prices do not go down so far. rather they are going up everyday. terrible.

the Canadian experience I think this depends on your skills and qualifications. I have a number of IT friends who are now in Canada and they were able to find a job in a month without Canadian experience. So I believe it really depends, if you are are a doctor, nurse, even flight attendant probably they will look for that Canadian experience...so to make it short, are you planning to go back to Singapore? I am currently working here in Singapore and getting like more than 10grand a month but it is boring here. In Canada surely I will be able to drive and go to different beautiful places and it is near to US and Europe if you wanna travel. Here, wherever you go here seems like the place is just the same and cost of living here I believe its more expensive compare to Canada. Rentals here for a 3 bedroom reaching 4k a month and so on. So with these are you planning to go back to Singapore???
