This is such a heartfelt and honest video. Good job man! But I would expect immigrants from the UK or Asia in Australia to strongly defend their choice ? Weather-wise, Australia beats Canada — maternity leave-wise, Canada beats Australia hands down. Australia is pretty isolated compared to Canada …mostly because Canada is next to the USA. Australia is overpriced in terms of groceries etc. and the extreme weather in Canada makes life expensive. Many Canadians move to the US for a reason. Australia is terrible with family reunions and visas for parents etc. There is a reason over 1 million Aussies prefer to live and work elsewhere — including myself — I was fortunate enough to get my PR in the US.

Housing in Canada is in the millions [limited ground space] 2-3m for the land alone...USA, you can buy a new house with a pool for $255k. Canadians, you can keep your free (not free) health care system and I would choose USA. I lived in Canada for 40yrs yet all my longtime, close relationships were Americans. I moved to the UK as we Canucks are not allowed to leave (just retire in usa for only 6mos). However, London is not British anymore and so you get a lot of reverse racism here, buts it's about 6x cheaper than Canada. Summary: Nowhere is perfect.

That's so funny and true at the same time. Sadly, I was born in the falsely advertised 'Best place on Earth, 'Canada' and therefore, cannot claim asylum in any other country, so I will pass away alone in hospice with 5 other dying strangers. Luckily, I moved away just in time through the UK ancestry scheme and live my dreams with my partner I met in a home we bought in a city where I don't have to look at the price tags as I know it's already 6x cheaper than Canada! However, there's a catch in that you can only go back as far as your grandparents to use the Ancestry Escape Pod, so if your grandparents were born in Canada I wish you all the luck and who knows, maybe you'll eventually merge with the USA and freedom and happiness is yours. Life is better on the outside. I moved 15yrs ago and never look back. I calculated a week to visit my siblings in Canada costs the same as 6 months worth of mortgage payments (my share).

The Uk Government has let the true British people down

I've been to Canada a couple of times to Hamilton (outside of Toronto) because my mom's childhood friend from Manchester, UK lives there and I went to the states for a few weeks to Florida, DC and NYC on a massive trip.\n\nWhat struck me is how fit Canadian women are compared to US women. Also, how genuinely friendly and humble Canadians were compared to the brash know it all attitude of Americans. I was really looking forward to America cause I was raised on its culture here in the UK. I know I've not given it a proper chance but I'm not that tempted to go back.\nI travelled a lot with my family growing up but only in the US have we ever felt like we could be in danger. Not great.\nAnd that racial segregation is pants. It's disgusting, really.

Every single one of the Muslims in UK are Indian Muslims IE. South Asian Muslims Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Islamic Indians that separated from India, after WW2. Issue come due to these NEW Islamic South Asian countries have no history or identity besides the religion that separates them from there Hindu counter parts.

Same in the UK

I live the UK and love it here. Given a choice, Australia would be my pick. As a black guy, Sydney or a state where there is a decent number of blacks. I prefer hot climates generally anyway.

Khalistan asylum visa scheme canada l... this scheme works in UK as well... Get student visa go there and then apply asylum ? under khalistan supporter anti india political activists ?

The best country in the world? Okay, not from what I’ve heard from people who’ve lived in Canada, UK and US.

It's a massive con in UK too I'm so angry India allows this money AND brain drain, India is completely complicit not providing free tertiary education

Ive been to Greece, Ireland, England and Scotland. I will agree that tap water and food is alot healthier abroad than in the states. Public transit sucks in most American cities. There are trains EVERYWHERE in the UK. You can walk a block and see a train there. But the sprawl here is the problem so you mentioned that. I will say Americans are friendlier to tourists than most foreigners, but most Americans are really mean when they travel abroad, so I guess that would balance out. The cost of living argument is hard to agree with, but I wasn't there during the rent hikes, I came back from UK right before they happened. I've heard inflation everywhere is bad, but maybe not in Canada. Love your guys' videos. Keep it up. I always show these to my girlfriend to start discussion/find common ground, and they have not once NOT worked, so well done.

Wow, I thought you guys were UK based. Didn’t know you guys are my maple leaf bros!

I understand clearly, here where I live in the UK, my neighbourhood is all mixed. My husband is Hungarian, I am Chilean, I have Nigerians neighbours and next doors there are white Britons. It's more natural this way.

My dear you guys are messed this is the same in the UK and USA I am sure its the same everywhere once you live in goose Country and experience these thing u will see its the same

Coming from the UK buying bottled water seems crazy to me

Flying in the UK is cheaper than taking a taxi. No joke.

Coming from UK, drinking water is underrated, a meal out u can save on drinks getting free tap water??

I can relate to the cheese comment at 6:00, the equivalent of the cheese epidemic, in the UK, is bacon. There will be a perfectly reasonable product … and there will be a company in the UK that will put bacon on it and sell it. Can’t escape the bacon. I have bacon related anxiety… I fear the bacon and hope I managed to out run it, before it consumes me

UK tap water is A1.

I'm right with you on tap water I'm from South Yorkshire UK we have really good tap water too like it's actually better than alot of the spring waters you really appreciate it when you travel.

Now could you do vs UK

Bruv, you need to move to THE UK

So true about the food, I went to Saint Paul, Minneapolis from London UK and i was just dreaming about fresh vegetables and salads that weren't sickly sweet or cheesy

I'm English, and a massive difference is the food. The food there feels so fake and processed, feels like I'm eating chemicals (if its not fresh fruit, veg or meat). Guaranteed to feel sick for the first couple of days. \nI watched those food wars videos comparing UK and USA food, and it all made sense. The ingredients lists there is like a science experiment. crazy.

Islam should leave the UK. They are making the country become dark and black

I thought the UK was worse enough. Canada has beaten the UK in this game?

We have private healthcare in the UK, though expensive sha

My sisters, that tax palaver na the same for UK o lol

Need a documentary about universities of UK as well, its the same sadly.

Very interesting video and kudos to you both. Unfortunately we have the same situation here in the UK in terms of high cost of living i.e high rent, high mortgage and very expensive train fares.

Bahi mujy uk work permit Visa chaiya please

Bhai ky ap mujy uk ka vise la kr da sakta ha

The issues with the health care system sounds similar to the UK :(

I know so many pakistani and Indians come to the uk this way, paying a lot of money to agents to get them here. The debts are enormous. We have also had many fake colleges come up.

just greed. BAN INDIAN COLLEGES IN CANADA. this policy was a disaster in the UK and is proving to be a disaster in canada.

It's over UK will be Islamic state

Wow and look at me trying to move my family from the UK.. all this Sounds like the UK..

I was born in the Uk and moved to Canada as a child in 1967. By 1992 I saw the writing on the wall and moved my family back to England. Now at 68 I see the writing on the wall again and we are moving to Portugal. You have to stay open and flexible in life as your life and countries change over time. Our kids and grandkids are in Denmark and England but hey a return ticket to Porto in Portugal from either is only £75 or $131 Cdn. They can visit every month!

Born and lived in South Africa ?? for many years but now living in the UK ??. I really love Canada ?? and the United States ??, but would preferably want to retire and settle in Canada ???!

Hope those leaving Canada don't come to uk . Its full .

Am a Nigerian I cannot think of going to live in another country no matter how beautiful and what they have to offer. I have had the privledge of travelling to uk a couple of times but am always glad to be back home.

Hey it can t be as bad as the UK..??

The analysis about Healthcare is correct about demand being more than supply. But what is not really understood is that the Canadian rules make it that way, not lack of medical professionals. In other countries with national health care like UK, you can legally pay for extra care. In Canada, doctors are fined if they try to provide extra care or even want to work extra medical jobs. So you have to ration medical care and care is fixed, cannot grow or increase except by whatever the govt plans. Any additional care can only be obtained outside of Canada or else illegally/on the black market if in Canada.

A friend of mine who has a happy life in Africa wanted to move to the UK for her kids universities but its like the voice of God said no. And she obeyed. I am happy for her cause she has a home and kids go to private school and she can go to church. I said to her every where in the world is not perfect so running doesnt help. We can only run to God UK or not. Each environment has something to offer but instincts are critical in saving a person during these times.

The comments are really touching. Being abroad in the UK it always felt like everyone was trying to escape to move to UK. Getting there teaches you different - just many small things taken for granted like big backyards, being able to own a pet or 2 without tax, the I cant describe it attitude of your own people towards you in diaspora. Its jus too much.

We ought to make it harder to get into the UK, as most immigrants come here because we are too soft.

Hi Anna,\n I was wondering if you could recommend an agency I could approach to find work in involving duel composite repairs (fibre glass and epoxy repairs).\n I've been working in this field of work for 5 years now in the UK and I would like to move to Victoria BC. The hole process of getting a visa and finding work in another country is very daunting to me and would like to use an agency to remove a lot of the stress and confusion of the application process. \nThe reason behind wanting to go to Victoria is because my partner has moved there on a working holiday visa and found a job already. I'm 32 and can't get the same visa unfortunately, so I have to find a job before getting a visa (I think). \nIs an agency the easiest route to getting over there and being able to work?\nWe also aim towards permanent residency if we like it there.\n\nAny help and advice will be much appreciated. \n\nThank you in advance ?

Hello ladies, just to say totally enjoyed your video on why people are leaving Canada, it was an eye opener and very interesting, never thought these reasons for leaving a country will include Canada, very interesting and informative, looking forward to your next Video bless, watching from the uk.

Grocery price here scared the crap out of me. It is almost double of UK. And Quality here aren't that good.
