There's been a lot of conversations about Canada (good and bad). The question is should you move to Canada in 2024? Is it still worth it with high prices and housing crises?

The reasons not to move to Canada apply to the US. Not only the health system is broken, but it's ridiculously expensive and many times your health insurance doesn't cover treatments and prescriptions. Rent is another issue, it has been very expensive lately and crime is getting worse

I have lived in Canada 42 years and am planning to leave in a couple of years at the most. I am a dual citizen and plan to move to Portugal where I was born. This is a beautiful country with some amazing people but it has declined so much. I know that you are comparing the crime rate in Canada to countries with a lot more crime or civil unrest but to me the increasing rate of crime is alarming and I am not talking about petty thefts. There is a huge mental health crisis and we now have thousands of people living on the streets and people being attacked and killed on transit and in the streets. When every time I walk out of my home I see someone suffering it breaks my heart and makes me not want to go anywhere, add to that the insane increase in the cost of living and the deplorable health care system and what do we have left. This is no life. There are basic human rights and needs required to have a functioning society and our infrastructure is crumbling at this point(affordable housing, transportation, healthcare, safety). I would not recommend anyone move to Canada at this point unless where you are coming from is much worse.

Thank you Yulia for assuring me the fact that I'm young and healthy, Canada seems even more of a realistic answer!

[granache]

I haven't decided my destiny yet but salaries in Portugal suck. I'm from Spain and is very similar, that's why all Portuguese immigrate to America and even Canada. The ideal thing would be getting a remote job in Canada and then work from Spain

Как кажется, у всех круг размышлений примерно один 😅
Смотришь Канаду, видишь Португалию и выбираешь тепло 🥲

[paoemantega]

What about "is your country too cold" ? "Is your country too full ?" "Is your country too communist ?" these are important questions too ..

7:45 Hi Yulia, I have been in Canada since December 2005, and I do not have a family doctor! I cannot find the right adjective to describe my case because there isn't one which is strong enough. I just cannot take it anymore.

Thanks for the valuable information, Yulia! And huge congratulations on hitting 100k subscribers! 🎉🎉

[NochesYCanciones]

All that will be left is the cold, snow, high taxes. If nothing changes, many people will leave Canada.

Please Yulia tell us more about business. Like selling Coffee, Tea and Cocoa in Canada

Kids, kids, kids--- if you believe attending a college or university is a path to PR... dream on. It has worked (note: past tense) up to now, and I know some ppl who came here after whatever-you-call secondary school "back home" and got PR a few years ago.

It is becoming close to impossible to live almost everywhere in Canada, unless you spend C$1000/month for a private bedroom ( and 12 month leases are the norm, not the exception). Aside from weather, cost of food, and the much-higher tuition you will pay, you will find nothing but C$15/hr jobs, unless you choose to work illegally for cash... and there are next to no $15/hr jobs that dont have long application lineups with 100s of ppl that look like you. And driving for Uber pays not much more than your costs.

Background before the big news: Canada has underfunded post-secondary for so long, that to survive, some schools have specifically targeted foreign students with special programs for their higher tuition. Uh oh!
Big news: Local employers know which schools are diploma/certificate mills. Around here, resumes from 'grads' from Centennial and Conestoga are filtered out.

Bonus tip: some especially unscrupulous operators have created 'schools' where close to 100% of the enrollees are foreign students. These exploiters give their 'private' 'schools' posh-sounding "Canadian"/ "English" names--- and when you arrive, guess what? No Canadians. You've been swindled.

Big hint: If the ''institution" will not reveal % of enrolled foreign students, save your money. The employers already know these "schools" and do not hire from them. Any more than 10% FS, hard pass.

I am living in Lebanon. The situation is awful here. If someone stole your right there is no government to restore your right and punish your aggressor. Canada is definitely not the heaven of the world but i am trying to compare it to situation in Lebanon. It seems both have difficult challenges. Which country you recommend living and why? Portugal is better?

[PlanB-BorisEmets]

Please say more about carrier that you have build in Canada🇨🇦

[Alex-and-ra]

Even regular shops started asking tips for nothing, that is really ridiculous 🙄

[ncf]

Hello Yulia! good job with the amazing content. Just wanted to ask a quick question, I got my visa stamped already and I'm basically ready to travel to Canada but the thing is that my first day of school is in May, so do you recommend travelling ASAP or what is the perfect timing to pack and go?

I was in Canada in 2023 August but now I want to come back to Quebec but I’m not sure if is worth it

If you are planning to move to Canada and live alone in a 1-bedroom apartment: forget it, the cost of rentals is more than you will make from your job, even as a high-tech workers. On the other hand, if you are okay living in a 2-bedroom apartment, and sharing your apartment with 7 other roommates (total of 8 people), then you just might be able to afford to live in Canada and be able to save up a bit of money each month. An alternative to renting a crazy-expensive Canadian apartment is to buy a small work-van and convert it into a small apartment on wheels for around $30, 000. So live in that 8-person / 2-bedroom apartment for $6 years, saving up $500 per month, and then buy the van for $20, 000 and turn it into an apartment for another $10, 000 and then live in that van rent-free after that. More and more Canadians are doing exactly that right now.

Hey yulia, I did my undergrad in Food tech. And trying to pursue masters in food quality and packaging technology in Canada. How's the demand for Food Quality supervisors ?

[ellenperez]

What about New Zealand and Serbia? Have you also considered these countries for migration and why?

If you are a NURSE, YES, there are LOTS of opportunities for you, if you are a International Medical Graduate you will face YEARS, THOUSANDS of $$ ad probably will NEVER have a chance to practice here... YES. there are NO doctors, but they DO NOT WANT US, because the doctors don't want competition, specially from better educated ones. I have a GP because I have a condition and they made it faster for me, but she is SO SO SO BAD, she knows so little that embarasses me as a GP of a 3rd world country. I actually need to bring my own diagnosis orelse she is ALWAYS clueless. My friend has a problem for FOUR years, she has a GP, and her GP is STILL searching for the all wrong conditions. In ONE conversation I figured out what she had, she suggested it to her GP, they tested and "tah dah", she is now in treatment and getting better... You are right Julia; DONT COME TO CANADA if you have a medical condition, and pray to one never happen here, you'll probably die of it :(
