sadly in less than 4 years our country has declined at a rate I feel like isn't really seen in any other western country. It feels like we are in the death throes of corporate strangulation while being led by people who truly do not care about Canada, Canadians or new immigrants. It's so expensive and inconvenient to live here now it feels almost like some sort of sick financial prison. The government wonders why Canadians arent having kids...

I take my hat off to you and admire you for acknowledging your sincere preferences to live in Gaza. \nTo want to live under Shariah law \nTo want to live a singularly Islamic life\nTo live under a rulership that not even it's own leaders live under\nTo prefer not to live in a democratic environment.\nTo live in a place where schools teach children to hate anyone not exactly like themselves rather than accept others in their diversity\nI am not sure the inflation rate in Canada is really higher than Gaza though.\nI wish you and your family well and success in your life in Gaza

Great comparison by these ladies. Wanted to share my thoughts about\n1. lack of color in cold countries- mostly Colors are representative of nature's palette. So brown, greys, blues, black in canada due to the weather & animals like wolves, bears,. India's bright sun & animals give us vivid clothing Colors.\n2. Food tastes better in india because of the climate again. Canadian veggies & Fruits are shipped from west índies & other warm countries so by the time they get here, distributed to grocery stores they are no longer truly fresh

saya lahir di indonesia dan sampai sekarang sudah tinggal 53 tahun di canada umur saya hampir 75 tahun dan sekarang saya ada pikiran untuk balik tinggal di indonesia mungkin di bali sebab dari pension money hidup di canada tidak mungkin bisa hidup saya harap TUHAN membukakan jalan untuk saya pindah balik ke indonesia. saya pulang berapa tahun yang lalu dan tinggal di bali saya senang sakali saya tidak merasa kecewa sebab saya pindah ke canada tapi sebaliknya saya mendapat keuntungan ketemu TUHAN selama saya di canada lihat bagaimana tuhan maunya saya punya future ditanganNYA

If you decide to live in an Arabic country please keep your eyes open on the curriculum your kids study at school as the schools there import their books from UK, USA and Canada. Good luck

Jesus, don't even try Europe if those problems scare you... ? There will always be challenges for immigrants, right now is not the best period in Canada, but it's the same all over the planet.

I don’t recognise Canada. Although the land where I was born, I am not connected to it any longer. For me it started with how Covid was ‘managed’ by the government. May Allah richly bless your family. I believe you are making a great choice ❤️

Canada is a sh!t hole right now.

Thank you. \nFree Canada ?? ??

Really then I do not like to hear or see you applying as Canadian citizen ! Also wanted to see you leaving the country anytime !unless you are here because you like to make Money using YouTube and Canada !!!!!?????

In general,the weather is soooo HARSH in Canada,particularly the winters !!

Most watching this video won't understand this comment but the reality is that Canada is failing due to a bloated, unaccountable and unlimited covert police state. What other career can you make $150k a year with a single year of college? Go search for the largest number of workers within which agencies on the Ontario Sunshine List and extrapolate that across the country. We reap what we sow. The world is passing us by as we invest HEAVILY on dkkmesric policing at the expense of all other industries that would drive a true Free Market.

You explained this so well!! My partner and I moved to Canada 3 years ago just as we got approved for H1B. We had to chose between moving to CA or staying there in an uncertain limbo for 2 decades waiting for a greencard. You did a good job talking about the downsides of moving such as a lower salary and higher home prices. We bought a small townhouse for the price we could have paid in the US for a detached house. Many people I know in similar situations leave CA and move back to the US once they get their Canadian citizenship. However, I do think that there are many reasons to stay such as the political climate. The US has become very regressive banning abortions, making gun laws more lenient and it’s not as accepting when it comes to diversity and inclusion (be it POC community or Lgbtqia+) unless you live in a big city which is expensive. These are the reasons we chose to stay, especially if we have kids as school shootings are getting more and more common there.

Gotta say, you're lucky to have lived in Japan and are now able to work remotely. I've wanted to live in Japan for 15 years now, but have been unable to get a work visa, while each year I meet dozens of people now living in Canada, by simply taking ESL or Makeup courses, and that leads to a PR card.. what I wouldn't give to be able to pack up and leave to Japan..

You prefer canada to Singapore?

How many hijabs were ripped off in Canada in 10 years. What a joke.

I moved to Toronto in 1997 and decided to leave for the US after 4 years. Canada is a dead end for most immigrants. Fast forward to 2024 things haven’t improved but slipped downhill.

We lived in Canada for a year and found the country very expensive and on average not as highly developed as western European countries. The people are extremely friendly, sometimes even uncomfortably friendly, and it is a meritocracy par excellence.

Canada has 2 income taxes: federal and provincial income taxes, which varies from provinces with the highest Nova Scotia at 54% combined taxes (maximum).\n\nCompare to that, Australia has streamlined tiers taxes across the country.\n\nTo put it in perspective. If you earned $150k a year in Nova Scotia, you have to pay $47k tax. If you earned $150k anywhere in Australia, you only pay $40k tax.\n\nIn terms of income taxes, Australia system is much more competitive than Canada.

We left Canada 3 years ago, for similar reasons, and although we are not Muslims, Canada treats Christians no better, we were just as outraged by what we saw, and this Canada of today is nothing like what it was. As an Eastern European I was also excluded, the only people who stood by me in college were my Muslim classmates. I wish you a best!

Im 1st generation to Canada in 1952 , garduated from Univ, served in Canadian Army .This country has deteriated due to consecutive governments allowing flow of immigrants, refugees, student visas . Also Liberal Government continuing to destroy our economy, printing beyond our GDP on behest of a globalist agenda in pursuit of world control. Canada has descended to a 3rd world banana republic run by incompetent group of nefarious ministers' hell bent to re invent Canadian culture and through multi culturalism pit all each nationalities against each other. There is nothing redeeming about Canada anymore.

canada IS NOT a Muslim country. You want all that, go to a Muslim country, you don't support one of Canada's allies. Leave. Go to gaza if that's where you feel you will belong there.

Bye, won't be missed. We don't need terrorists in Canada

This is awesome. Please leave and do your best to convince all other Muslims currently in Canada to go with you!

People are still coming in Canada. They will regret for their rest of the life

Little off topic observation but its strange that you say you are an extreme introvert yet on video you seem super confident and outgoing. Whereas I would describe myself as the opposite, extremely social and extroverted yet too shy to film myself talking...I would stutter and be really uncomfortable.\n\nOn topic, yes we have become cold to outsiders and I think you are correct in that the climate of political correctness has essentially choked any kind of openness as we have been taught since multiculturalism was made state policy to never ask certain questions or we are racist so to er on the side of safety we just don't say anything to newcomers anymore. That would be for the young demographic of Canadians but for older Canadians it is more due to resentment and anger, the reasons you list for wanting to leave Canada have all been caused BY immigration into Canada at such high rates and so older Canadians whom never voted for these changes to our immigration policies and whose voices never get heard are mad, mad their parents were able to buy a home in Vancouver for $50k with a basic blue collar job 2 generations ago now the same house is $3 million dollars. Or that we can no longer communicate with our neighbours because non of them speak english well or that we are constantly being called racist either by implication or outright by our media, academia and government. Or that our parents were able to afford university with zero debt afterwards now you leave with $100k+ in debt and the classrooms are 80% foreigner. Our the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who have been pushed into living in tents because sky high immigration has made their home town unaffordable etc Their anger is misdirected I know that, but it is understandable and will get worse. The future for Canada now is probably breaking into small countries because diversity has no future.

Most Punjabi Sikhs ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️ pay huge bribes ??? to get into Canada ??, legally or illegally.

As forth generation Canadian I left years ago and never ever want to return .\nGrowing up Canada was the greatest place to live but with years of Canada being flooded with a million new bodies a year it’s become a horror show .\nSure many coming are great people but they won’t stick around once they see with their own eyes the realities there .\nSo anyone loving to come to Canada are obviously from third world hell holes and are coming for the free stuff .\nCanada has new migrants from the worst countries in the world countries you would never ever dream of visiting but now those people live next door.\nI watched a YouTube stream from Toronto on New Year’s Eve and did not recognize my old Toronto the good anymore .\nRight at Yonge and Dundas the main intersection in Canada 95 % of the people were South Asian and 80% were male .\nThere was no Christmas decorations in Toronto just one sad looking tree they call a remembrance tree .\nDon’t know what we are supposed to remember what Toronto use to be when they celebrated Christmas and it was a White Christian country ?\nIf you can believe it Toronto doesn’t even have a New Year’s party concert celebration anymore ,just lame fireworks over Lake Ontario.\nMontreal doesn’t even have fireworks anymore lol \nTake my advice get the heck out of Canada move to Thailand where housing is cheap ,food cheap and people are nice .\nYou only live once don’t waste it in miserable Canada

For the point where companies asking for Canadian experience only for a job requirement is totally dependent on job type and roles. For banking and insurance domain its valid to ask for local experience or equivalent experience through internships if studied in Canada. But if you are applying for IT jobs, I think this requirement is baseless can be dropped. For example, banking in middle east is totally different from many other countries same like insurance domain varies by country or region as well. Medical professionals need to clear country specific requirements if they have degree from their home country. And in Ontario, recently provincial govt has announced to drop this requirement from job requirement. So, hopefully other provinces also do the same.

Canada literally has a lower inflation rate than most countries ?

The Liberal party intentionally destroyed Canada.

Well many more smart people are coming to Canada\nThe ones leaving it is ok let them go and find happiness in another country

CaIndia, full of curry with their bad attitudes. Canada is India with snow. That is why people are leaving Canada.

Based I hate Canada

no one said canada is cheap to live there...even talking to ppl that work there say its expensive to live there...

I am north east Asain/Canadian and i have moved out of Canada few years ago, actually lots of friends of mine also move back to their original countries for better working opportunities, basically there isn't much good opportunity in B.C. people from highly developed Asian countries like Japan, S.Korea, Taiwan, even China has a higher tendency to leave Canada, the future is in Asia, tons of much better opportunities than Canada. Also after i have travelled many countries i realize if ur rich there r lots of other countries that u can live way better than Canada, the house, food, tax is much more affordable and local ppl r super friendly. Beside the housing price in Vancouver is absolutely insane.?

Please stay in Canada and don’t ever migrate to my country.

Canada is using immigrants to fill low income jobs. The us is doing the same right now. As well as trying to get migrants to move north to mexico to fill new manufacturing jobs being moved from china.

New immigrants have to understand that Canada is actually a 3rd class country now, ranking No.64th in the world, just a little better than Iran.

I’m a skilled worker (hvac) I’m trying to move out Canada has gotten to socialist taking roughly 60% of my wage in taxes and different fees ie property tax never mind high electricity cost, gas cost. Canada is so expensive now for everything it’s actually ridiculous how expensive life in Canada has gotten

Fuck Canada !!! Thanks God I left in 2016!!!!

The government's justin trudeau has destroyed canada.. They want skilled workers that do crime scams massive car theft. They don't want good people in canada

For Canadians over the age of 65, the lack of health care in Canada is turning deadly. More and more of them are dying while waiting for treatments. Many of them are now deciding that it is better to emmigrate to some other country that has a functioning health care system before they get seriously sick and die in Canada waiting for treatment.

Canada American it's country's i can never live ??????

Lol, if everyone is leaving Canada why is it that a nation with a fertility rate of only 1.4, which has been declining for years, saw its population increase by 3 Million people since 2015?

go back to Singapore. It's definitely better there than Canada lmao

Never seen anyone left Australia and New zealand if they have pr. However, canada ?? is completely a bogus country. It is place for average class poor people

unfortunately the usa's influence has a hand in it all, canada has always copied what the USA does. it's sickening. right down to very stupid simple little things. just follows right along like a good little brother, just as they say ............

Interesting video! Here's my perspective:\n\nI'm from Quebec City, of Chinese descent, born and raised in Montreal, where I lived for 21 years. I've also lived in Vancouver for 3 years, Toronto for 5 years, returned to Montreal for another 3 years, and have now been in Quebec City for 15 years.\n\nAs a Quebec City resident and business owner, I find the city amazing. During the pandemic, there were many programs and subsidies available. I even wrote to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding the CEBA program for businesses, suggesting some changes to the eligibility criteria. They followed through, and Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau sent a detailed response, signed by him but likely written by his staff, explaining the revised criteria and suggesting other potential programs. Provincially, my MP's staff guided me through various programs. Ultimately, I received nearly everything I needed to survive and potentially thrive through the pandemic (to be confirmed in 2024).\n\nTaxes are high, but I feel safe in Quebec City. Crime rates are low, and I've experienced little racism, possibly due to my fluency in French. Starting a business here has been easy, with minimal costs and bureaucracy.\n\nAs a gay man, I've never felt endangered. I can comfortably express affection for my spouse in public without feeling judged.\n\nHealthcare, including access to medication and doctor consultations, is extremely affordable. Super Clinics offer next-day appointments at no cost.\n\nI own a commercial condo for my business, which cost significantly less than it would have in Toronto or Vancouver. My rent for a one-bedroom apartment is CAD 755, and electricity bills are remarkably low.\n\nWith the shift to online business, I've accessed international markets while benefiting from a low-cost, safe environment. I received a CAD 2400 subsidy from the Canada Digital Adoption Program, among other government-funded programs, to expand internationally.\n\nAlthough homelessness exists in Quebec City, many supportive programs are available, and most homeless individuals here are polite, likely because they face less stigma.\n\nI believe it's crucial to explore different locations when moving to Canada. Many smaller cities offer great opportunities, which works to my advantage.\n\nRegarding the judiciary system, it's not perfect but feels less biased compared to the Supreme Court of the United States, such as in cases like Roe v. Wade.\n\nMy advice to immigrants is to learn the local language fluently for effective communication. Utilize all available federal and provincial tools, like legal aid, and don't hesitate to contact your MP. In my experience, they've been very helpful.\n\nAll the best, Febby!

Don't even consider U.S.A. Or Great Britain....unfortunately, they both check all the same boxes that Canada did, especially your #1 reason.
