Genuine question for people who leave Canada, where do they go? I'm from Belgium, living in the UK and considering actually moving to Canada because I don't see myself living in Europe anymore... For some reason, I thought the general lifestyle in Canada was better than Belgium and the UK but after watching this video, it seems not to be the case :/

these were all city cost examples -- Canada is more diverse than just living in citys

Oh the f'ing irony of the dreaming immigrant and the current state of Canada.

In Canada life depends on us..we make our own destiny

You seem to come from privilege \nCanada is a country of equality and decency \nI was a refugee from another country to India and found hostility and religious intolerance Canada was a welcoming experience Kind and honest people with no corruption and acceptance I wonder why you would take your beautiful people back to pollution and corruption

I was never an immigrant. Born in Canada probably 6th or 7th generation Canadian. And I'm sure I am not alone when you here the struggles we had. Do those immigrants think they should have everything just given to them. Well it seems that way and Canadians are starting feel that this is enough of the whining and complaining about their struggles. Shouldn't have come here thinking that everything is free.

We don't need you in Canada! Just leave!

Canada is gettingonly low quality immigrants, useless refugees and other garbages. What to expect from these people? Canada is transitioning from a 1st world to a 3rd world country.

If you move away from your home country, it takes half the time of your actual age to understand, & get used to the country you move into. \n1) Ikea also offers assembly service for which you have to pay. \n2) home owner/landlord didn’t improve noise isolation issue of their floorings. It’s normal practice of most lazy landlords who only rents their basement for reducing their mortgage cost. Or probably didn’t even know that it is doable.\n3) Employment- I am glad to see you found a skilled workplace somewhat related to your career. If you had to go through odd jobs, you would have left Canada within a month. \n4) Hospitals- Indian Government hospitals works the same way. Priorities go to life threatening patients first. But as an ex-Indian, we love spending arms and legs of money. Our loved ones survive going in private hospitals without insurance. \n5) socializing & jokes- I think you should’ve moved to Brampton so you can be part of the ghettoized community we have created there. so what day by day their crime rates are going high, we can at least understand the joke we can laugh on there. And there is no home sickness feeling.\n6) Weed!! - India has legalized alcohol, tobacco consumption. It does not mean anyone can go buy this. Even to buy legal weed in Canada you have to show your ID. At least that process is followed properly here.\n7) Vegetarian- if you want to follow a diet like this, all you have to request the restaurant to swap the meat with either potato hashbrowns, or if they have soya bean patties. \n8) Struggle- struggle is part of life. There is no requirement of whining about it. What do you need to be concerned is that you are getting an opportunity to go ahead, if you can’t get that that’s an issue. \n\nAnyways , I’m glad you made a video regarding your point of view on leaving Canada. Maybe you are not ready to mentally grow yourself being around people with different community and cultures & co-exist.

Canadians are incredibly selfish Canada has a duty and a right to take in underdeveloped and impoverish people for the greater global good not to make 1st world problem crybabies lives better

The great replacement is real.\nLook around.\nImmigration is the number one problem in Canada.\nThe violence the food, living and housing costs.\n???

I think this current administration must step down please! This is a nightmare & feel like I wasted my life over 3 decades moving to Canada.....Finally empty pocket

My favourite is listening to immigrants complain about other rude immigrants. \n\nI am indifferent, Canada is not what it once was, as in its remote, pristine beauty. Its been corrupted and will never recover, much like most westernized civilizations. \nBest case is to let it crumble and rebuild with whats left over, the strong and resilient. All others never really made a positive contribution anyway. \n? happy travels

Blame Turdo voters - who don't have a brain. The Crime Minister's agenda is make Canada the shithole that these people came from.

Canada has been a dump for the UN as long as Trudeau has been in office, enough with the illegal immigration it’s destroying beautiful nations like ours.

Without immigration Canada would be a failed state. Canadians are lazy and entitled.

I was born in M.J. Sask, I will be leaving canada as soon as I get my nursing certificate. This is not just an immigrant issue.

I believe that every location has its own Pros and Cons... \ndepending on your needs and goals.\n \nIt's important not to have unrealistic expectations of any specific country (especially Canada) \n \nThe key is to find a place that meets your needs and be willing to accept the drawbacks. \nGive it a chance and see how it goes!

Thanks for the insightful video! I was thinking of moving to Canada from Finland and Latvia in a few years to escape the looming war with Russia (I am no soldier by nature at all), but now I started having second thoughts about the plan. Finland is actually similar to Canada across several of the points you mentioned, but the cost of living is, surprisingly, still OK here. I do love proper winters, northern boreal nature and introverted people, however :)

Vote out Liberals and Justin Trudeau and save Canada

Seriously, if you're coming from another country, and under the impression that you'll have a better life in Canada, you're wrong, and about 20 years too late. This country is an absolute mess right now, and it'll only get worse in the short term. If your mind is truly set on coming here, wait a few years. If you come now, you're going to be sorely disappointed. And broke. And possibly homeless.

Everything outlined in the video is A-O-K with me. The segment about Canada's sane, civilized and responsible approach to firearm ownership is alone, enough for me to drop everything and live there!

The winner stays in Canada and the loser goes back to third world countries like China this is reality

It's not only in Canada it's everywhere like that

funny, this was never an issue before Trudeau, but let's do the Canadian thing and not say or think it. Everything's fine. Trudeau is great. Canada is better than ever before.

Since I immigrated to CANADA, 28yr was the same law!unfortunately you have to go back to school! Yes if you don’t like it, can move to another country,

Canada is too cold for you -Get out.

Everyone should leave Canada! It’s a dictatorship and waist of life.

i want to leave canada its not the place of opportunity even for a 7 day a week blue collar worker it sucks here \nive always been told that canada is the best and the land of opportunity . lol has to be so funny . im a small business owner who is about to hit the food bank its pathetic

Stop bringing in refugees and only accept skilled workers that canada needs.

This is not entirely unlike what women experience. If you go to the Indian consulate in Canada, you would find they behave similarly. The situation has improved a lot compared to 2015 and 2016. I lost my passport in Canada and was living 300 kilometers away from Toronto. When I went to the Toronto consulate to get my passport (now everything is done by BLS, but it wasn't the case back then), the officer, despite knowing I had all the necessary documents, insisted I obtain an unnecessary police document related to an FIR. I was surprised and pleaded extensively, but was still told to go back and return with the document. When I returned, the police officer told me they don't issue such documents. I went back to the consulate and was still denied. I protested there for 20-30 minutes. Eventually, with the same documents I initially presented, I obtained my passport. Such incidents used to be quite common.

Had Canada's politicians prioritized the best interests of the people, the extensive immigration we are currently witnessing would have been avoided altogether. The majority of Canadians expressed opposition to mass immigration from non-European countries, but unfortunately, these sentiments were dismissed. Consequently, it is not surprising that the current wave of immigrants finds themselves disillusioned with politicians who are seemingly not prioritizing their interests – a situation that, in reality, should not come as a surprise.

A government that actively seeks to make the founders of Canada a British-based country a minority in their own country is genocide.

100% bang on.. I've lived in Dubai (traveled to many other countries).. this is nowhere near being considered as developed anymore (GDP criteria is outdated)..Canada got developed and they forgot to update and even upgrade..!! The drug situation is so bad that I really hope that you didn't come across crackheads/homeless who are under the influence of drugs at all times.. No doubt there are way more homeless people in India, but they are working or at least trying in some way to make their life better and they never hurt you at least, here, it's the opposite, as they literally can do anything.. you can find them roaming all over on the streets of Old Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa.. You can literally find them everywhere.. someone commented earlier that you should give 2 years.. Bro or sis.. it's a complete waste as I am at the same point.. and on top of it when you invested 2 years, it even becomes tougher as it becomes even harder to go back as you have spent so much on furniture, house, car, tools, n all and most importantly - 2 YEARS of life. I left my pregnant wife and have been staying away from her and a 1-and-a-half-year-old baby boy hoping that we'll create a better future and can afford to struggle right now.. its been 2+ years.. Honestly.. I am still not able to figure out whether there is any future or I have spoiled my present looking for a future.. its a dilemma beyond explanation in words, with no relatives or anyone based here.. I've a lot at stake currently and that's the only reason I am stuck otherwise leaving this place seems to be inevitable.. \n\nI travel extensively all throughout and forget about expressways anywhere in Canada (Except 407 which has an insane toll rate) it's a 4-lane highway just 80 km from Toronto to the rest of 450+ kms to Montreal which are 2 major cities of this so-called developed country.. same is for Ottawa, the same hold true from Calgary to Edmonton, and any other major town/city!! on top of it, they are struggling to even maintain those (always under construction - even construction is a wrong word to use as they aren't adding anything new.... it is just being repaired in true words) Same is true with adding new infra in terms of hospitals or any other facility... Banking sucks.. Still dealing through the mail (Postal mail).. (Mails not e-mails). I simply can't get that.. the tax agency - CRA sends communications through the mail, and the same with any other agency.. Comon.. grow up is what I feel at times..!! People are literally not willing to work (Except hard-working immigrants), Govt. doesn't have any plans for the future regarding the economy and development... just bringing in immigrants.. that's it..\n\nYou've made a very smart decision and really at a very good time.. wish you, and your family all the best..!!

15:50 just like to point out that this graph is not an accurate representation of the current views on immigration in Canada. Due to the opening of our borders to a country of over 1B people, sometimes you will look around and be surrounded by 80% Indians. And the people here do not like it. More than I've ever seen before, from talking between friends and posts on social media, there is dislike of immigrants in Canada.

I live in canada and used to think, may be i am the only one facing all these problems and feelings of that emptiness, doing everything on your own, no jugaad, and the drugs issues etc.etc..i agree with you for every single word you have spoken...i see some people judging for your returning to own country and giving importance to own mental health

On one hand, Canada will not have to worry about Immigrants doing reckless actions like in Europe and US\n\nOn the other hand, this will affect their economy

Milk quality is good in canada?! What a joke. Its horrible in north America..

Wow, amazing,I am from Pakistan have lived in Canada for more than 10 years Montreal, Vancouver and many other places,Mr Millionaire is absolutely right in his message ? percent,so much information.

Canada is a gone country and soon will be run by immegrants especially who is wanted in other countries. \nJust wait and watch.

Thank you diamond for all you do. Pls did you travel direct from dubai to canada or you came to nigeria first? \nAm in kenya right now planing to travel from kenya to canada. \nDo you think i will have any issues at d airports since am not leaving from my home country.\n\nI await your replys dear,thank you.

Tyler you show your true American nature when you mention school shootings didn’t affect you! If it happened in Canada it would affect the entire population. In not an individual thing it’s collective in Canada.

In the US, it seems it is way more difficult to elevate yourself if you are born to a poor family. In Canada, there seems to be more equality in that respect, in that if you are from a low income family, there is still a chance to get ahead.

लानत है Canada में rehna

Canada will be brown by 2050

She is so adorable.\nMy sis ypu should have tried to move to USA.Things are.not so carzy and dingi and dark as Canada.\nAmerica is a hopeful country and you were so near yet so far.

Hey Canadians i have news for u.. Hehehe Canada debt is now over 2 trillion bfr the clown was 600 billion

Don’t move to the US , that place is going down the drains. Move to Canada, choose a city that isn’t predominantly black, invite your fellow black brothers and sister start businesses and take over that city. It’s doable in Canada.

What is the minimum investment in Canada? I have less than 100 thousand US dollars. Can I travel to Canada?

Canadians are leaving Canada as well for The USA ?? ?
