Who cares, you can come to Canada or leave Canada , do what u want, yeah houses are crazy expensive and yeah are prime minister sucks, but I wouldn’t wanna live anywhere else , Ive lived in Victoria BC , Edmonton Alberta, and St. John’s Newfoundland, allways felt safe, being able to do what I want regardless of race , gender , religion, makes Canada one of best counties in the world , we’re not perfect, but I’d say other counties could learn a thing, we’re known for being nice, we’re not known for being cheap, if u want cheap, go to Thailand

it seems like the 2 people being interviewed are trying to blame Canadians for not welcoming immigrants, and that's why there leaving. how about not being able to afford groceries, or finding a doctor, or high taxes, stop trying to blame us, and start trying to find ways of making Canada more affordable smh

Because Canada is becoming more and more an Orwellian nightmare thanks to the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history... WE WANT TO GO HOME BECAUSE IT SUCKS HERE. And their solution is to LOWER EXPECTATIONS for immigrating professionals?????? Are you kidding??? That's going to make life in Canada even worse because your quality of services is going to drop even further than it already has! I guess we will need to plan to back home even faster.... ?

Some immigrants overqualified in Canada work for international…. Remote…some organizations don’t have confidence to hire well educated professionals, specially in Maths and science because they might expose how shallow soft talking full in Company, specifically in public institutions

Canada has gotten too expensive for most! So lots leave where cost of living is more affordable.. ??

Why? Who cares! Just leave and take truckdoh with you. Canada will survive!!

I'm going to leave canada as soon as possible because it's terrible!

If Canada continues mirroring destructive policies of the U.S. it’s not going to end well for Canada long term. \nCanada is in worst economic shape when it comes to jobs, housing and healthcare. \nThe life is just simply not affordable and the lack of healthcare professionals, hospitals and housing is unacceptable, so is public schools and childcare. \nI’m not surprised that reverse immigration will be happening for immigrants who has been here long enough see the dramatic change and unfair immigration policies.

Canada needs better street food

Why they are leaving? Canada is one of the best countries to live in. I am grateful to Canada to be given permanent residency status in 1995. We were able to raise our child, went to University, and did well. It is a matter of being practical to accept the way of life and be vigilant to work harder. Do not expect the government to give you full assistance without exerting effort. Anywhere is hard regardless of which country you are in.

WRONG...a record number of Canadians are leaving Canada due to the neglect of hardworking, taxpaying Canadians in favor of bringing newcomers who will potentially vote for the existing government. These kinds of reports are just false justification for the open borders.

Canada is now a third world country substandard great news for Real Canadians

Because we get nothing done here. My mom came to this country in the 70s and she loved how much progress they made every decade. But now we do nothing. We need to get Canada working. Build major projects and be competitive. We cant do that with Trudeau. And to be fair. Im not a liberal or conservative fan boy. It just matters who leads whichever party. And right now liberals DO NOT have a leader.

No jobs for us ????yet born in Canada ?? i live in a homeless shelter ?? wrong !!!!!

Canada is juicing its citiznes what do you expect from immigrants or refugees ...the scam doesnt work anymore

trudeau destroyed canada beyond repair.

Cause Canada is just another place for the rich to get richer and corruption to spread we have one of the worst housing crisis and the government wants to bring in 500k every year year

?? Canadian born citizens are leaving or have left like myself due to the nonsense by the government! Since the pandemic freedom is non existent in Canada ?? when the government decides what enters your body, you can’t say you re free next thing you know they will force you to wear clothes they want you too! Keep voting Liberal/NDP and see what happens

THIS HAS TO STOP ITS ABSOLUTELY KILLING THIS COUNTRY. CANADA IS DOOMED

more immigrants? you guys are Crazy. canada has no identity anymore.

When they realize that Canada is a 3rd world country just located in a first world continent

God Bless Canada/ North America!

They come to Canada and as soon as they get a canadian passport the go back home. That is why they dont integrate with canadians and dont change their habits.

Aalsi logo ki thodi na Canada hai??acha ho gaya aalsiyo India aa gye?

Canada is turning into India.

canada just wants cheap labor.....they don't care about anything else...oh and pay your taxes so the cpp can have money...

I want my old Canada back!!!! ❤️??❤️

The biggest problem is that you can have dual citizenship. And there is absolutely no loyalty to Canada besides the ‘free healthcare’ and cheep education. You have people living in other countries for the vast majority of their lives and then touch base at home to suit their medical need, then take off and not contribute ANYTHING to the county. Then, they whip out their Canadian passport to be repatriated when things go bad in their Middle East country….

That´s 100% accurate. I myself am being slowly priced out of Canada. I have left, temporarily, due to very low living costs AND availability of health care in my homeland. I still want to go back to Canada, but high rent prices and a over 2 year waiting line for my medical treatment is preventing that... Even though I have to pay WAAAY more for my treatment in South America. Really tough.

Half the planet is trying to migrate to western countries both legally and illegally. Thousands and thousands each month! No surprise that foreigners, and the born and raised, are now having to compete for homes/jobs. Best advice: be grateful if a country is still trying to help u leave the place that u wish to leave. And don't expect white collar jobs asap too. And please don't be USING Canada as your country-of-convenience.

canada has been ruined by liberals

Canada bends over backwards to welcome immigrants compared to many countries- what this report fails to mention is how many immigrants simply use Canada to get citizenship and then move back to their native countries with dual citizenship that gives them and their families medical care, and a free ride back here when their own unstable countries become dangerous, or those that use Canada as a temporary safe and generous harbour before moving on. Very handy. I believe our immigration system is broken - all our Canadian governments want are more and more warm bodies to feed an insatiable tax monster, without regard to the significant social and economic disruption poorly planned immigration causes. Trudeau and his people are among the worst.

What is canada good for? Its not safe anymore. The medical departments sucks and the justice system suck, getting a job is hard and cannot afford house, rent or food. Most of us live onlg basic and in debt. The extrem cold winters and short depressing days dont help. All this said im still gratefully to God and know people live far worst.

And where are the free handouts by the Liberals to us born in Canada... i'll wait

I only received a PR card and returned to my home country. \nThere is absolutely no reason to live in Canada with wages that are below the cost of living, crazy prices, murderous monthly rent, and medical services that are frozen in time.

Trudeau and Singh destroyed Canada. Sad.

I honestly don't know why anyone would come to Canada. It is so hard to live here.

I come from Palestine. Can you give me citizenship Canada?

Why in heck people immigrants don't read look the problems we got in Canada and maybe don't wasted the time to come and then regret and complain about us ...

Canada is just a money minting colony managed in-directly by the Britishers and they do so by calling immigrants from all over the world !

485,000 means 150,000 to Toronto, 150,000 to Vancouver, 50,000 to Montreal, 50,000 to Calgary, 50,000 to Ottawa, 30,000 to the rest of Canada. Folks in big cities, brace yourself for another sunami of immigrants.

Canada was always the gateway for certain immigrants to get to their goal country...we we too foolish.

Canada needs more immigrants to build more houses, for immigrants, so it needs more immigrants to build more houses... beauracratic thinking at its best.

Im born and raised canadian and im so sick of my own country. Im even planning to move, especially since canada seems to care more about the immigrants than me.

10 years of Trudeau, and now see how bad Canada became. And you know it s bad when even the immigrants change their minds and make a U-turn.

Canada gave up on there work force long ago...???

Canada doesn't need simplified bureaucracy or an international marketing manager to correct immigrants leaving. Canada's problem is that it's not a growing economy and skilled foreign labour coming over doesn't want to work menial jobs. Stimulate sectors, create growth, and that'll attract immigration.

Canada is overhyped with their advertisement regarding abundant job prospects and ample resources

Liberals have made Canada suck now.

Canada is on a downward spiral. Years of political inactions to solve or apprehend problems combine with a private sector that doesn't invest in innovations has led to the current situation.
