As a Canadian I do not understand why so many immigrants even want to come here!?? It's so crazy expensive and hard to get a job but they keep coming.

The new Canadian Dream: leaving Canada.

[justinpiche]

I am a French Canadian born here, and I want to move out of this country. Everything about this country’s culture, education, health care, crime, agriculture, economy, literally everything is unrecognizable, and it’s happened all in like 8 years. Every single thing my grandfather fought for in WW2 is gone.

Speaking as someone living in South Vancouver, here are two rules I live by:

1) Never leave your bike outside for extended periods of time. Especially closer to a downtown area because it will get stolen. If thieves can't get through your lock, they'll just strip the bike everything that isn't locked down. It's actually very common to see just a bike frame locked to something while missing every other part.

2) Don't go to downtown Vancouver as it's drug city. It's the one downtown area in metro Vancouver that I say has zero redeeming factors. All the other neighbouring cities are nice, with Richmond in my opinion being the best of the bunch, but downtown Vancouver? It's the closest experience to Seattle in Canada that you'll find.

I’m an immigrant of two years from the UK. I have to say at the time of moving due to Covid everything was expensive throughout the world and there was uncertainty in most things. Myself and my wife now have our own businesses as we found that the system here does not favour immigrants in getting the jobs Canada claims it needs to fill. The reality is the government and unions don’t want educated people to fill mid to high paying jobs and it’s impossible to get jobs in teaching, nursing, doctors etc if you are not educated here. The government wants immigrants to populate and work the low paid jobs even if they have a bachelor, mba or phd.

Born and raised in Canada. My mother came here with nothing and built a life for herself and the rest of her family. One generation later and now I'm applying for ancestral citizenship so I can get out of Canada and live somewhere affordable... what a joke.

12 year wait for a doctor, three months for a blood test cannot walk into a clinic since covid, have to book online, but can't book online without a doctor, check every day for an appt space- none avail. Literally NO access to medical care and in the ER after seven hours wait they misdiagnose you and fail. Surgery wait is years, and they wont give you a day or time for an appointment, they say they will call you months later to book a time and then never do. There is no longer health care in Canada. Then there is the cost of housing. Then there is Trudeau making news reporting and websites he doesnt like illegal and pushing through laws to let the govt jail you for speech they dont like using anonymous accusers.

This administration is putting many families in difficult situations. A lot of people are financially struggling to live, put a roof over their head and put food on the table. Things are getting worse these days, if you don't find means of multiplying your money you might wake up a day to realise you didn't plan well for yourself and family…

I moved back to Canada after living overseas for many years. I was only able to endure it for 2 years and I left again! Quality of life in Canada is just not what it used to be!

[DJ_not_DJ]

The healthcare sucks.
It ruined my life.

When I was 16 I was diagnosed with very minimal scoliosis and told I need a back brace.
They never got me a specialist to get me a back brace.
They made we wait 2 years until I was 18 then told me I wasn’t allowed on the same waiting list anymore because I was an adult now.
Now I am 19 soon turning 20 and they have done nothing to help with my Spine which has now progressed horribly.
I have a middle bend which is 52* and a lower bend of 30*.
I can no longer lift anything and am now waiting for spinal surgery.

None of this would have happened to me if they had only gave me a back brace when I was 16.

I moved to Canada 10 years ago. Came here to do a PhD. Ended up staying due to various circumstances. (Such as being able to find a job here but not in my original place.)

I will say that things are noticeably worse now than they were 10 years ago

I tried to emigrate from Germany to Canada in late 2022 and already left again after 3 weeks when I experienced the mentioned reasons. Yes we have higher taxes in Germany but the inflation with groceries and rental is less high and I also appreciate the social security system in Germany more again. Videos like yours help me to confirm my decision and close that chapter. I prefer to visit friends in Oregon/USA during vacation as North America experience.

I wanted to move to Canada with the IEC program, I am an Italian citizen. I was still attached to the idea of Canada of the past. I visited a good friend of mine in Toronto and watched the country literally get worse from one year to the next. In Italy we complain about taxes and the lack of meritocracy and the few business opportunities for young people, but Canada is a thousand times worse. A former "earthly paradise" transformed into a place of subjugated people, exasperated hypocrisies, fake progressivism, a crazy real estate market with exorbitant rents, precarious working conditions, high crime, an unreliable and manipulative press, a third world healthcare system and, the more seriously, a government that oppresses with the consent of the majority. A much more evil reality than Orwell's 1984. I gave up my work permit. It's fine for short visits, but it's not a country where it makes sense to work and live.

As a retired pensioner from Australia, I'm sad to admit that I'm an "economic refugee", almost impossible to live in Australia on my pension.
So I've done the migration thing in reverse, living comfortably in the Philippines.
Everything's cheap and the people are very friendly.

[evaristods]

Im Filipino. You have a no-nonesense style of unraveling things about living in Canada. My brother in law and one newly graduate grandson are aiming for that place. Of course, inspired by their preconceptions about that country. But watching this entirely sure will give people, especially young professionals reason to pause and reassess their thinking towards Canada. And all thanks to your generous efforts coming forth with everything you can cover based on your actual experience. Thank you.

Lived and worked in Canada from 2002-2007, in Toronto from 2004-2007 as an immigrant. I have Canadian citizenship, passport... Returned from Canada to my country of birth in late 2007. Those 5 years in Canada were the worst 5 years of my life, even then, when I was there in Canada - it wasn't as bad as today - today it is much worse (there is now a homeless camp five hundred meters from the block where I lived, it wasn't there then). Here, where I am now, I do not have a permanent job and a stable income, however, I live much better, much easier, with less effort, and most importantly, much healthier and peacefully than in Canada. I never even thought about going back there. Despite the false propaganda (because the Canadian state makes a lot of money from immigration - in order to legally immigrate to Canada, I had to spend 2000-3000 for administrative costs and show $10, 000 in cash when entering Canada, plus a $1200 plane ticket) that Canada is one of the best places to live, my experience is that it is one of the worst places to live (and I have lived in both Germany and Cyprus and in my native country which has been devastated by Western sanctions and NATO bombing. Never in the 16 years since I left Canada have I thinking of going back there. I'm sorry, my experience was extremely negative.

Used to live in Canada during college, now live in the US and am now a US citizen… one reason Toronto is so expensive is because Canada has very few options (vibrant cities to live and work in)… US is a whole different ball game, so many choices red states, blue states, hot states, cold states, the choice is yours… also, Canada’s monopoly in different industries are killing consumers— when I lived in Canada, I once paid a 800 dollar Roger’s bill, and flying between Toronto and Montreal costs more than flights between Honolulu and New York… don’t walk, run…

[slowdown]

I apologize for my country. Most of us never wanted Canada to become what it is now.

[Dan]

I migrated to Canada in 2006 and left in 2018. Canadian immigration is a scam. It sucks!

[MarisOzolins-honj]

Hi Guys,

I did live in Canada for 10 years and I left because of the cost of living.
I had my own plumbing company and before I left I closed down my business and worked for a plumbing company full time and they paid me $42/h
Also my wife was making $32/h

We made decent money But Trudeau took half of it.
My car insurance was $4700 per year, rent for a bungalow just the top floor (3 bed 1 bath) $2400 in Calgary plus utilities plus we had another family renting basement, bungalow like apartment building.

It’s not worth it, I am a plumber and gas fitter (red seal) well educated individual with 20 plus year experience and my wife is social worker with 20 year experience and we both speak fluent and English. Most people thought that we were Canadian even though English not our first language

Trudeau doesn’t want experienced and educated people.
Canada is a rip off
