Dear Immigrants, DONT COME TO CANADA!!!!

Excellent explanation, it’s good that you and your husband are working together to minimize the coast, but oh my God how old are you? You look very young but still, you lived in so many places around the world from Germany to Indoneasia, and now, you are five years in Canada, but you look, of course, from the far east, so that’s another probably four country, oh my God, you lived everywhere in this world, I wonder how many languages you speak by now, good luck for you you are very good explainer, I love cold, lovely, snowy weather, but just enjoy it, but not to live in it. I am happy that I live in Florida, it is true you might not want to get into politic, or your program is not about politic, but it is politician, who makes the rules that affect everything, so one way or another we are a result of political decision

Born in Toronto in 1953. Left Toronto in 2019 and settled in rural Nova Scotia. I can sleep now. I am on zero meds now. I own a house and acreage which are completely paid for. I have zero debt. I hate Toronto and will never go back...not even to visit. Toronto is now officially the armpit of Canada.

It's good to warn folks.. Economics across Canada are in the waist bin.. Housing and social problems are rising.. Inflation is cruel high.. ?

I love Toronto but now a days I dislike to live and work here I will prefer move to a less expensive town and a calmer and not so dangerous place . Hoping my loved Canada do not imitate Toronto . Got permit not.

No mention of Trudeau or Chow. Our “leaders” get to do whatever they want because Canadians have been brainwashed into thinking that calling out corrupt politicians is “negative” or “not nice”. The cult of “nice” is killing canada.

Most jobs in canada are min wage. Good luck

US family here. We were a big downhill skiing family, and often spent our winter vacations in the Laurentians. The exchange rate was great back in the 1990s and early 2000s. So when the time came to start looking at colleges, our daughter already associated Canada with fun, and fell in love with the University of Toronto. She was accepted. But before Canada would issue her a student visa, we had to provide evidence that we could pay full tuition, room, and board out of pocket. For all four years! They wanted an iron guarantee that she would never become a ‘ward of the state’ or consume public assistance services. We had to jump through soooo many logistical hoops for her to attend, it was exhausting to facilitate. But she graduated with honors in four years. All that time, the city was beautiful, clean, and vibrant, though not inexpensive. The St. George main campus, Queen’s Park, Bloor, Yongue Street, more. Everyone we met was friendly and respectful. We very rarely saw homeless and never tent communities. And crime seemed almost nonexistent except for bicycle thefts. Our daughter made many international friends and forged great relationships she carries to this day. So many wonderful memories. So it’s heartbreaking to hear how downhill the city has become. And the US is no different. It’s all in the politics, and neither Trudeau’s nor Biden’s policies are helping.

Left Canada in 2021 because of Trudeau and happy i did.

This is what communism does. Canada (or more precisely the globalist elite) has run itself into the ground in under 20 years which is almost impressive. Between the LGBTSPWQ propaganda making free speech a thing of the past, the vaxxine mandates, MAID killing of the unwanted people in the populus, the wokeness of it all and Trudeaus hatred of freedom - communism ! Such a sad thing to see

Everybody is leaving Canada now mostly because of homelessness, crime and drug issues

Canadas biggest problem is Trudeau

I am sure the good people of Canada will be pleased with your decision. Your hat and kaffiyeh testify to your values.

I am born in Canada and i lived in Montreal's suburb(South Shore like we say here) all my life and i love it but i would never live in big major cities because of increases of crimes, high prices of houses/condo, traffic jam, pollution. \nMy girlfriend from Beijing came here last september for 2 months and she really loved it. She enjoyed the freedom, the many different foods from other countries in restaurants, our culture , the people kindness, beautiful nature and easy living.\nYes we have too free medical health care here in Quebec's province(Sun card ) and i have an excellent medical plan with my employer so i can have acess to private clinics free of charges when it's too long in public hospitals.\nI hate snow and cold long winters since the age of 18 when i had to go out for work or school and i dont like our corrupt goverment but we can vote for a less worst one every 4 years. ?

Sounds like Canada will be poorer without you. God be with you.

ONE OF THE EFFECTIVE APPROACHES TO THE PESENT PROBLEMS OF CANADA RE: POVERTY AND HOMELESSNES AND HOUSING CRISES IS: THE CANADIAN COVT MUST HAVE A REVIEW RE: ACCEPTING NEW IMMIGRANTS OR REFUGEES: IT MUST STOP THAT COMPLETELY: BECAUSE 8 OUT 10 OF REFUGEES HAS DODGY APPLICATIONS: THEY ARE IN REALITY COMING TO CANADA TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES UNDER A FALSE CLAIM OF ; REGUGEES APPLICANTS. AND: ANOTHER APPROACH TO LESSEN THE IMMIGRANTS TO CANADA ESPECIALLY REFUGEES AND HUANITARIAN APPLICANTS IF TO GIVE THEM CONDITIONED VISA= TEMPORARY FOR ONE OR 2 YEARS AND PUT A RESTRICTIVE CONDITION THAT AFTER THIS PERIOD THE APPLICANT MUST GO BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL COUNTRY =OR= WHEY THE POLITICAL SITUATION IS SETTLED THEIR ORIGINAL COUNTRY; LIKE:=((IRAQIES IMMIGRANTS)= AND ALSO TO KEEP MONITORING CLOSELY OF WHERE THOSE NEW IMMIGRANTS SETTLING OR LIVING. ANOTHER APPROACH WHICH IS EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE FOR CANADA as well as ALL IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES TO EUROPE IS: TO STOP PAYYING SOCIAL WELFARE AND BENEFITS TO THOSE IMMIGRANTS: = AND TO STOP ANY IMMIGRANT TO OWN: A HOUSE if he or she already have GOVERNMENT HOUSING : OR: MUST INFORM THE GOVT OR HIS NEW PROPERTY=(OR) LEGAL SANCTIONS AND DEPROTATION without any exception !!! Canada; as well as Europe: Must now stop receiving immigrants and Refugees and applying strict conditions and strict welfare system to them. AND TO GIVE ANY IMMIGRANT OR REFUGEE at all times: Temporary Visa; and then the subject must leave the country to his original country or to any other third country of his or her choicel ANOTHER APPROACH THAT : ANY IMMIGRANT OR REGUGEE COMMITTING ANY SERIOUS CRIME OR MULTIPLE REPEATED CRIMES IN SHORT PERIOD OF TIME : IE ON YEAR: MUST BE DEPRTED TO HIS ORIGINAL COUNTRY AND FOREVER!!! THERE ARE MANY OTHER APPROACHED TO BE EMPLOYED TO DEAL WITH THE PRESENT PROBLEMS AND CIRSES IN CANADA AND GERMANY AND EUROPE!

the Tax system in Canada is FAIR:= EVERYONE MUST PAY TAX AT THE TIME OF RECEIVING HIS OR HER WEEKIY OR MONTHLY INCOME== THIS IS FAIR: AND THE MORE YOU HAVE MONEY EARNINGS ; THE MORE YOU MUST PAY TAX in order to lessen the Gab between classes of the community. And why a person must have 2 jobs?? it is just Greed!!! having two jobs means you deprive another person looking for a job!!! TAX SYSTEM IS FAIR: AND CHARGING THE TAX IN ADVANCE PER MOTH OF WEEK IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO HELP PUTTING AN END TO: (TAX EVASION AND TAX AVOIDANCE) !! TAX SYSTEM IS:=FAIR, YEAH!

actually Canada should revoke all Indians passports born in India and no one is allowed to remit funds to India and you will see what happens

It s not only Toronto but the whole of Canada has been hard on locals and immigrants. We re seeing more and more immigrants newly arrived who become disillusioned with Canada and decided to move out of Canada permanently due to many factors, i.e, cost of living, low salaries, housing shortages and sky high mortgages....

Glad I left Canada before it went down the toilet. Detroit is actually better.

There are at least 50 countries that have what you think Canada lacks. \nHowever few if any are open to immigration and much more likely to be the type of place that refugees come FROM. \nThis is not by accident. \n\nSo yes please do leave rather than turn Canada into another country like that. \nTake some of your like minded friends with you.

Let’s not circle the obvious here. These are the major problems in Canada that are greatly amplified and visible in the bigger metro areas:\n\n- Loss of economic opportunity due to the disastrous Liberal government policies of Justin Trudeau, with all the known bad social consequences.\n\n- Out of control immigration. Impossible for a country to absorb that many immigrants in a short period of time to make them productive and pay into the system.\n\n-Rampant and oppressive woke culture. If you disagree with it, you’re labeled anything from racist to transphobic. \n\n-Permissive liberal policies with drug abuse and mental illnesses.\n\n-Spineless Conservative politicians. This is changing, but boy is it taking long.\n\n-Canadian complacency and self-imposed politeness. The worst traits we have as a country. We basically don’t react to bad situations until the shit hits the fan.\n\nI’m hopeful for this country, but we still need to fall further down to do the changes we need to do.

Yeah, being a woke sh*tshow and a new dictatorship has probably nothing to do with it. I think how Mr. Turdeau behaved during the years of the pandemic and showed his true colors and what he thinks of the people and their opinions and rights is reaping its consequences. Pandering to maybe 2% of woke crazies and punishing the rest .. You had a nice run Canada. Once my favorite country, now a frozen hell hole of madness.

I just saw your video, I don't know where you are moving to, but rest assured that the USA is as bad, if not worse than Canada. Deterioration of moral codes of conduct, open borders with cartels running the show. I think you should consider anywhere other than the USA..

I rent a room in Ottawa for maybe 2 months and when I left. I heard the landlord was imply in something very bad that they said at the tv. a few years later, maybe 5 years later when I applied for my Canadian pardon, the ottawa police wrote something about me like was i was subject in that event! I went to the police of ottawa and they said sorry we cannot find out who mentionned that because after few years the info is deleted or not accesible to the public. That affected my pardon. and when I saw thos crazy behavior of Canadian government and the peoples in Ottawa, that give me more reason to not go back to canada. I never saw so many crazy peoples in a country

Only Lunatics will move in Canada. I am tired that lie. I don't like that Canadian pretend to be best country in the worlds and pretend to everywhere they visit that everything is fine in Canada etc. They don't want to see the truth. Also I don't like when they go visit other countries and come back to canada and lie to me and say oh its very expansive in USA or that or this other country etc. WTF, they did not see the cost of living in Canada? they are fucking blind or what?

Congratulations leaving the trap of illusion ( Canada )

I lived in Western Europe, Japan and at the moment, Canada. I lucked out getting a well paying job in Vancouver when I moved back a few years ago and my average tax rate is actually the exact percentage you stated in the video - 28%, which includes income tax, pension and employment insurance. I'm actually doing better in terms of quality of life now but I do miss being able to travel around Europe for cheap. (e.g., quick train ride to Paris for the weekend) Now, I take cheap flights (e.g. Flair Airlines) to Mexico instead.\n\nJust to state some data points: when I was in Europe, I paid a total average of 39% income tax on a lower salary than I have right now in Canada. Things like utilities (e.g., gas/electricity), restaurants, certain grocery items and electronics (e.g., iphone/PS5/computers) were significantly more expensive because European VAT (inclusive) is usually 20%+. \n\nI don't have the exact numbers but on average I believe I was paying 70 - 90€ ($100 - 130 CAD) just for electricity each month for a small flat, but I am now paying $30 - 50 CAD for a decent sized 1 bedroom. I believe my housing gas bill was about the same or possibly a bit more. In addition, automobile gas prices were much higher (about $2€/L on average which is $2.90 CAD/L) and I think they could go even higher right now. \n\nHowever, rent is definitely more expensive in Vancouver, but I believe that is true for many West coast cities in North America. Right now I'm paying $2300 CAD a month for a 1BR, and I split that amount with my partner. In comparison, it would have been about €1300 ($1900 CAD) for something similar in the city where I was living previously. In a more expensive city (e.g. Amsterdam) a 1BR would easily cost €1800+ ($2650 CAD).\n\nFor me, the difficulty of making friends in my late 20's stays about the same. I think it is difficult to make new friends after graduating from school, and you have to put yourself out there by joining groups and events. (e.g. Meetup or volunteering?)

If you think the us is more pro Palestine than Canada your wrong. The u.S is Israel’s number one ally, supply them weapons and are about to go to war for them

2:40 ha ha!! That shd be your FIRST reason to leave Canada.\n\nWHY did you come to Canada in the first place. It’s NOT a Muslim country for you to compare it with, unless you have an AGENDA thru this video to ask Govt to make Canada Myslim country “If you don’t make it Myslim we are leaving….” …?

No Islamic environment in Canada YES! Why wear a religious symbols I'm catholic which i hate but should i wear a sign.

Same thing in California, a lot more people moving out than move in. Population decrease. I think the main reason is a lot of bad policies from government. Not only high tax or homeless problem. But decriminalized criminal.\nIn Canada I believe your government destroying your country from inside.\nTo much social program free stuffs make hard working honest citizens life like a slave, of course immigrants from shith**l countries love all free stuffs and they got their votes in return to keep them in power.

Conclusion: Marry a super rich Canadian man or woman in Toronto. Americans used to hear only great things about Toronto over the past fifty years and how Toronto was so much better than a lot of run-down, economically depressed, high-crime American cities. To hear a lot of Canadians on social media dissing their own major cities is astonishing and most troubling. No one thought Canada would ever hit the rocks so soon. What in the heck happened to you, Canada?

Toronto people complain that really all they get is two, true warm months of summer. June is sort of warm, but it can be cold at night and suffer cold snaps. Finally warm August comes to an end. While many Americans to the south struggle through an Indian summer of continued high heat into September and even early October, September brings the cold temperatures back to Canada, not yet freezing, mind you, but full autumn where the jackets have to come out and you don't see the welcome, warm, sunny sunshine and the ability to sit outdoors wearing thin clothing.

Canada'a economy is a complete sellout. Sell companies, infrastructure to foreign countries. Give out PR visas to pump up real estate. Give out school acceptance to international students to greedy schools. Sell every natural resource to other countries while not supplying Canada itself.

I can understand your frustration with Canada, but honestly it sounds like you won't be happy anywhere in the west. Good luck.

I think it's fair to say also that you are leaving Canada including your Canadian citizenship to be a fair statement....otherwise that's hypocrisy and just using the Canadian advantage.

In india we can’t buy iPhones cars and banlos we were employed in india. Canada has given us everything and that’s why we are in Canada

Great - take more with you. Canada is getting worse and worse in every aspect.

Canada gives empty promises for better life. Most people fall for this worldwide. Once you reach Canada, you will understand all it wants your money that you will bring it from your own country and after that it will throw you in a trash can. Canada is a barren country with no jobs and housing crisis and winter is harsh and brutal. Most of its northern regions are empty and soulless.

You and your husband already had well paying job and maids so obviously India is better for you. Now Give this choice to your maid's family. They will most probably like Canada more than India where their family will get equal opportunity in life to live a better life.

I'm confused! I thought you needed some sort of. ID to enter Canada?? Why do Illegals just run in!

Canada became too much like Usa. Canada has loose his identity. That's why I left.

Canada was beautiful. Current Canadian PM destroyed it. Vote him out. Change is possible with good leaders who actually have morals.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?! I've been to Palestine. I back Palestine. But coming to a Canada and expecting a Moslem environment? So what ISLAMIC country are you going to?

Immigrated to Canada 10 years ago...Now i'm looking to leave... It's a country in decline... As someone with an economics background, I could tell this country was gonna go to sht when a liberal government got elected 8 years ago... Bad policies & bad leaders can ruin countries... Canada is proof

To live in Kanada is very dificalt I was there thre time with my famaly from Europe to USA and then bey car to Canada.\nSister what you saying it is ? % right.

I have a relative who moved to the us from canada to live with her daughter and had to immediately move back because of our horrible healthcare.

Those countries you mentioned have Azan and use symbolic ways while they literal slaves from India. A country like Canada might not symbolically showcase holiness, but in practice, at least they don't take your passport away and take you hostage. I think action speaks louder than pretension. I think this religion thing has very negative impacts especially as each group both Christians, Muslims, and Jews believe they are the chosen people and the ticket to better life is sold thru their citizenship of hevean program. Perspective really helps.

Which city lives in Canada bro
