I would not consider moving to the states for any reason, but my reason at this point is that I’m terminally ill and disabled and I can’t even get travel insurance to be able to visit my family there. My mother’s family are all Americans. I had a lot of fun visiting them in my late teens, back in the early 90’s but now I wouldn’t even drive across the border to go shopping. Well, I do go across the border to Alaska, because that’s just an hour away, but Alaska is very different from the continental United States. And I only go to Skagway for the afternoon to get fish and chips. I welcome Americans to Canada with open arms, but I have zero desire to ever live or visit there. One at a time, on my terms, in my country, Americans are great, but your nation is falling apart at the seams. I don’t feel safe there at all.

We have been living 6 months in Canada and 6 months in US for quite a while. We live in a mobile home park for 55 plus. If I judge people from the park, there is a lot of discrimination, racism, politics and religion that really bother us. We tend to stay at home and not mingle to much with the people. Some people down in Florida are good friends of ours but there views on things and the most common negative issue that we find the racism.

I lost a lovely girl to American paranoia. I assume her family or friends thought I was trying to scam her for a green card. I explained I was genuine, and would love for her to come to move to Canada... She could not get passed her untrustful nature and it was over before it really started. I've adored her for 7 years, but I could not compete for her love over her addiction to god stuff.

As a middle aged, single white guy with no children, making an average wage in Canada... you couldn't even pay me double to move to the US. Even during my one week visiting Vegas and San Diego, I always had an uneasy feeling that anything could happen at any time. But yeah, throw in the health care, political and other issues... pass.

I, a San Francisco native ?, frequent Vancouver, Canada ??. \nTravel POV. \nCitizens of Canada ?? has 2 major benefits: member of the British ?? Commonwealth and member of the Francophonie ??. \n\nWhy bother with USA ?? when UK ??, Australia ??, New Zealand ?? are similar? \nTropical islands and peninsulas ? ? Easy stays in Malaysia ??, Singapore ?? \n\nFrancophonie ?? options. Members have easy stays in Vietnam ??, Tahiti, New Caledonia ??, Morocco ??, Lebanon ??, Guiana ??, Martinique ??.

Freedom index: U.S. the world champion of democracy and freedom ranked actually 20th... Canada ranked 6th. To me it's a good reason enough not to move from Québec.

I was thinking about it at some point when I was a single male working in software development, to go south a few years and make a load of money, then come back to Canada ;)

Bro, Canada has a lot of faults, the US will never measure up to Canada

But please, avoid Canada. We're messed up over here.

never wanted to, and will not, I came to my happy place - Canada- almost 40 years ago. If I have to leave, it will be somewhere in Europe, but not the USA.

The thing here in Canada! When it’s about our health in hospital, if we need a surgery, they are free of charge, unless it’s an esthetic surgery, then it’ll be charge, life for breast implants, normally costing here around 5000$, but if the woman is flat and her hormones never succeeded to make her breast growth, it’ll be the only case it’ll turn free!

Went to university is the midwest and DC and have traveled in every state so I know a lot about the US. Now I fear for my nephews in an Atlanta school. Gun violence is out of control. No one goes broke from hospital bills in Canada. Nice to visit (most places anyway) but no thanks to living in the US. Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines all look good for retirement.

The USA is ok to visit but I’m even avoiding that for the last number of years. I guess I’m just not ready to see firearms on people in a line up at a store; knowing that many others are (legally) carrying concealed weapons. There are many other countries that reflect my values on individuals (women, LGBTQ etc), that would be a second choice after Canada. And of course, the healthcare (or lack thereof). I can’t imagine being in a country that doesn’t support the health of all of their citizens and not just those who contribute to the financial health of big business.

I will never move to the states due to my chronic condition and their terrible health care system, yes gun violence is on the rise in Canada but nowhere near the levels of the states, but it does worry me

Hi Tyler, I enjoy your videos, your my favorite American lol\nWhile I was watching your video I was keeping an open mind on reasons why I would or would not move to US. I am Canadian, I was born here in the 60's, I've travelled around the world, including the US but have always lived and worked in Canada. I love my country. saying that now....\nThe last 10 years for Canada has been the worst ever in history, our government has destroyed the foundation of what it means to be Canadian and has made this country look very bad on the world stage.\nEventually that will change. This currently gives reasons why a Canadian wants to move from Canada.\nYou are right about the US, there are places you can move to that offer quiet, country, safe living but like Canada, those places usually trade the good life for lack of opportunity.. the difference is most of Canada gives you the good life and opportunity in the same place. A good example, Billings Montana or Red Deer Alberta... if you compare the 2, they are close, but overall life in Red Deer would be better.\nCulture has changed thoughts too, I could never get used to seeing anyone other that law enforcement carrying a gun.. I realize Americans have the right to carry guns.... but why? are you being invaded?\nI will pick up a gun if i need too in order to protect my country, but I don't need to prove it by displaying it in public. Given that alone, The american people have gluttoned themselves on firearms to the point of not just beating each other up in disagreements, but shooting each other... road rages in Canada dont usually end up death by shooting, people and kids don't usually walk into malls and schools and start shooting.\nYou cannot get guns that easy in Canada.

As an American who has lived in Canada a very long time, I would never ever even think about moving back.

That comment is bang on about the batshit crazy political religious racist fusion that seeps into daily life…..nailed it.\nI’ve got family and relatives in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, California, Florida Nevada. My second home was in Pinellas Park Florida.\nI’m living in Canada now , thank god , the situation in the USA at this time is a joke sorry to say

Sorry Tyler, but given the current social and political environment in the USA I do not want to visit the country and definitely never move there.\n\nThe challenge for me is the realization that Canada was built on community, while I see many (too many) Americans fiercely independent and not seemingly caring about anyone but themselves. \n\nCanada IS NOT PERFECT. We have gang violence, drug issues, racism, homelessness, poverty, inefficient political and bureaucratic system, but in general I feel that people will be more polite and helpful to each other than in the US.

My brother lives in Canada and says in Florida during the winter. He loves the US and the American dream. He loves Trump too. I think the only thing keeping him in Canada is the health care.

I don’t even want to visit. I was at a conference in Milwaukee and the security guards were there to keep the homeless and beggars out of the halls. I mean - a block away from the fancy building it was a wasteland. So sad. The inequality leads to more crime and there are so maaaany guns. Then there is health care. We are getting more inequality here in Canada and the social problems follow but so far Canada ?? > ??

Why don't you come back to India if Canada is so bad.

The health care is so much better than Canada if you can afford it.

Asslam o alikum sameer bahi meri cousan k husband or kuch or cousin kisi agency k through just medical ki 20000 fee pay kr canada jany ka keh rhy bain k agency walo ny bola k sari payment wahaan ja k earn kr k deni hai.

You know what I hate about Canada? One half speak French , the other half let them.

Everything that you said about Ontario is the opposite. If you uploaded this 8 years ago, it might still be applicable; but not anymore. Ontario & BC have the highest cost of living. Housing & rentals are skyrocketing day by day because of the lack of supply & high demand. It’s not Canada that I used to know 8 years ago.

Parents leave Canada to get away from their silly childish ignorant bigoted children.

How do i get the Lmia then onnce i land in canada

Please can you make a video of what to pack to Canada such as groceries,clothings,Foodstuffs,Footwear as well as gadgets such as adaptor,because I heard the socket used in Canada is different from the ones used in Africa so therefore you have to take a certain type of international travel Adaptor when traveling to Canada

Canada bahaut hi changa he .par aapna Punjab sari Dunia cho changa he .Sara kuj ulta he .jado assi aapni Moter te Jo khat ch he maharaja to ghat feal nahi karde aithe ——?

The problem in Canada is simple.\nWe have a narcissistic, moron as a Prime Minister. \nHe is more interested in pushing leftist \nIdeology then serving Canadians.\nHis policies have recked Canada.

First of all, thank you Canada for welcoming and taking care of us, but you are killing us with too much taxes and endless bills.

We visited the USA ( California, Ohio, MD ) and Canada (Toronto) some 7 times during the last about 11 years, and loved these countries. But I would still I would like to live in india only, mainly because we love Indian vegetables, fruits, food items and our home life in India.

after hearing this I remember Punjabi talking in Hindi in Canada video???

Ashir bro I want to come to Canada I need your help

Brother I like you.. You're such a positive person and helping in so many ways to our people. You also have a great personality and impeccable passion to what you talk about or advice to people. Please ?, keep sharing these types of information. Am living here in Kansas City, United States. I have been trying for my brother to visit and even try school and they have been denied visa. But now am in the process of filing for my mom to come as a permanent resident. Am even thinking about helping one of my brothers to go to school in Canada with a student visa after watching your video. Am very pleased to come across your videos. Infact, I find myself watching your videos 2 to 3 am in morning. So please again, keep up the great work You're doing, you're very good.

The Venezuelans fucked it up for themselves and that’s why the immigration laws changed for them.\nThis comes from the mouths of a buncha Venezuelans that’s I’ve talked to.\nLots of them doing things like buying cars, not making the payments then trying to drive to Canada and seek asylum there.

Sir mujhey aapki mother in law ki koyi bhi baat Bilkul theek nahi lagi jaise ki yanha vegetables aur restaurant main food theek nahi milata kiyonki main bhi India se aapni beti ke pass aayi hoon . Covid time main one year yanhi rahi aur aajkal bhi five months ho gaye hain per yanha restaurants main hum sab jagah gaye har cuisine ka khana khaya bahut acha food milata hai. \n\nAur yanha maan laganey ki baat hai to jo mohalla type ki aadat waley hotey hain aur falatu baateyn karane ka hi shok hota hai ki kisi se bhi aatey jatey baat karlein vo hi pareshan hotey hain nahi to humey to yanha bhi bahut acha lagata aur vanha bhi . Aapki mother in law shayad yahan par free Dhaniya ki talash main hai.. LOL \n\nMain delhi born brought up hoon aur bahut bada mera friend circle hai delhi main per humey falatu bahar Khadey ho kar baat karane ki adat nahi hai . Delhi to rahine Layak hi nahi rahi hai yanha to life bahut achi hai is main koyi shak nahi . Meri bhi tabiyat bahut kharab huyi per sab test aur CT sab jaladi hi ho gaye koyi mushkil nahi huyi. \n\nSo, I will request you to stop dissuading people who are aspiring to come to Canada with such baseless points.

We don't want anymore .\nMigrants in Canada,why is this happening and allowing this people to enter our country, illegally,sent them back to which they came we have enough problems

You leave in Canada and you are moving to US really ??

Parents become Cooks , nannies , maids in Canada to their children.\nHealthcare - 9 hours wait for a bandage on ligament tear !

About the natural beauty, don’t forget while living in Canada you also have easy access to the US national parks (basically only a few hours drive), which are beautiful so you have the natural beauty of two countries.

Canada has ceased to be a confederation and has become a central axis of power in Ontario and Quebec and the remaining provinces treated like colonies. Equalization makes everyone equally poor and destroys initiative. We used to be a rich resource country but now we're trying to compete in technology and manufacturing with an expensive and low productivity workforce. We're becoming another Venezuela.

It's almost as though leaders in Canada and Australia have been reading from the same script for at least a decade. Whether the looming recession downunder is 'technical' or not, house prices and rentals only seem to keep going up.

The problem with Canada’s economy= Trudeau and Freeland…..simple…get rid of those two and the budget will balance itself.

People need to do their homework before they come here it sucks that their country is in the state that its in, But Canada cant just take everyone in.

Racism is everywhere....you will be discriminated against everywhere. It's cold AF in Canada anyway, coming from a native of Buffalo....up north Caucasians don't hold there tongue. But neither do up north Black people.

You just invite the rusian people not pillippine pilipno not like in Canada? Shut your cointry is not Goode?

middle clas is dead in canada it's completely unaffordable overtaxed destroyed
