Growing number of immigrants are deciding to leave Canada. Why?

- Canada has long billed itself as a promised land for immigrants from other countries. But a new report says for more and more new arrivals, that promise isn't being held up and they're moving on.
It finds the number of immigrants leaving surged between 2017 and 2019, and has yet to stabilize.
The reasons are not surprising: from housing affordability and inflation to healthcare challenges and fair credential recognition.

It’s probably almost all native Canadians leaving lol
Reality is: unless you have to stay with no other option, it makes sense to leave. Canada isn't anymore what it used to be.
We honestly need more to leave and to allow FAR LESS to come in the 1st place.
100% agree.

I lived in Canada, but I came back to Brazil. I got a job at Tim Horton's and spent 8 hours working no break time, no food. The other one I just couldn't use the washroom so filthy It was, It was a factory. Me and my husband knew How to speak English. We both took IELTS before going there and he was studying Arts at a College. Here, I am a teacher. In less than a month back, me and my husband got good jobs, we both have majors. Canadians ARE really friendly, honest and polite, but they hardly ever invite you to their houses. Here in Brazil It is Very Common to have a coffee at someone's house, chat, have barbecue. Most of my friends in Canada were foreigners or Italian or Lebanese descendants because they are more open to friendship. It's Just not worth It, too many cons.
All the best for the new journey in Brazil. BTW, Do you get citizenship when you leave Canada or you have no idea of getting one at all?
@@hsujongee7963 why. You after one ?

There also high taxes, over price rental place to live, bc high car insurance and no fault policy. No rental caps and protection people can just raise their rent as long as they want. Etc..
No jobs
Was it something I said?
I do hope not.
racism, discrimination, jobs only for those they like...
These are universal issues. In many parts of Switzerland people are struggling to find a flat or even room to rent that they personally go from door to door to ask people or to leave letters in their post box asking for help with finding a place to rent ! It's ridiculous.
Affordability and inflation plus reduced benefits as Canadian citizens are major issues. Costs are skyrocketing.
Canada ranks as the 25th most expensive country to live in the world, cheaper than Ireland, Austrailia and NZ to name a few.. The US ranks 12th most expensive. The grass is rarely greener on the other side.

@@grandmufftwerkin9037 Don't care, the list is what it is, overall.
The thing is we need immigrants to keep our economy growing, but a growing economy is what is making our housing costs so high. We need a very major recession - a rapidly shrinking economy - to bring down housing costs - and housing costs are the primary reason why immigrants are leaving.
@@peterwhite507 With housing costs in major urban centers doubling in the last five years or so, the data you are looking at needs to be very current to accurately reflect the situation. I believe the issue of negative immigration has only recently become a concern. The comments that I have seen from people who have decided to leave have mostly been about salaries being insufficient to cover housing costs. Keep in mind immigrants would have to be renters or new buyers, so they bear the full brunt of rapid real-estate inflation.
I’ve been a Canadian my entire life, I’m contemplating leaving , it’s impossible to get ahead when you’re being taxed to death
Please leave Paleface, England needs you.

Good luck finding a country where the more you earn the less you get taxed, by just telling you all the countries who have that system are drowned in misery that goes from lack of essential things like even clean water to civil wars.
And believe it or not there are countries that have even higher taxes than Canada and have a better life quality (the nordic countries).
People must remember that taxes are in favor to them, sure unless the country is horribily corrupted but that'snot the case of Canada.
I was born in Canada 73 years ago and I would be the last one standing in Canada. I have never thought about leaving my home. Once people realize that most other countries are having the same problems, they will be back.
I have visited Canada for the first time in 1978 and again in 2006. My ex-wife is Canadian. I am not sure why Canadians have this reputation of being friendly. They are not impolite but they are definitely not friendly towards newcomers. I have lived in Germany, Italy, Greece, Thailand and my current home Australia and those countries are much friendlier than Canada.
So true!
We used to be before our traitor government made our lives a living hell.
They used to be, not anymore; not feeling welcome in your own country is the reason
We are scrambling for our own resources that have been built for us and were meant for us by our parents and grandparents. It's not that people aren't welcome it's that we are now going without.
Visited Canada and thought Canadians were very passive-aggressive and like to take digs. They will casually make comments about your appearance and other personal things out of nowhere and dont seem to think it is rude. Some are friendly, but being rude with a smile on your face isn't nice. I also wasn't an immigrant just visiting. I would describe Canadians as being more fake than friendly.
First and foremost, Canada has a society problem. It is devoid of energy. To much rules, and restrictions. Lacks social activities, lacks life and energy in essence. People become bored, isolated, depressed and preserved. No social interactions, no competitiveness, no sport, no outdoors, no zeal, no enthusiasm. People barely talk to each other for fear of some dump privacy and security.
Then on the other end for professional, too many protocols and licensing requirements for every single thing.
It is just too laidback for a modern society.
For me, I think the society needs to open up.
I came to Canada two decades ago after quitting a very decent, well paid job with my family. That was the biggest mistake I ever committed.
Then say goodbye.
You dont have to stay 🤷🏾♂️
Many immigrants do that mistake. Then they get trapped in Canada with debt and family issues.
Buh-bye !!!
I've heard many of those stories from immigrants. I'm so sorry for that.
Canadians are leaving Canada. Sold my businesses and moved, best decision ever.
Yep me too. Canada is screwed.

I left Canada after 13 years. I couldn't stand the freezing cold winters anymore 🥶
Coming from a Canadian citizen, bad government policies all around for the last 8 years is a major reason, but also Canada has become a culture of virtue signaling, leading to valuing foreign aid, migrants and refugees over its own citizens, also accommodating of oversea values and beliefs that immigrants brings into the country over its own founding values and culture.
The virtue signaling was disgusting.
Trudeau destroyed this country. This country is upside down
Like germany. It feels like they want to destroy our own culture and everyone is more important than the own people
Over the past 3 years, and especially in 2023, I saw that immigrants from India literally flocked in high numbers to the small norther town where I've lived for decades. They're now the majority of workers in most retail positions. This influx has caused severe housing shortages. These newcomers aren't working in the construction industry. Some of them are buying and renting houses, driving up the housing prices dramatically. EVERYBODY is now suffering from the hyperinflation on housing prices and everything else. Our quality of life has plummeted. It isn't rocket science: allow huge influx of immigrants, and inevitably the result will be inflation, lower wages for competing workers, increased housing prices and dire housing shortages. Whoever planned this must have been aiming at destroying Canada.
So right you are...
Nailed it
I live in a small northern city. East Indians, Sheiks, pouring in for years buying everything. They do nothing for the community. Don't forget they were given everything. Now they have entitlement. Little Afghanistan Canada became...
Exactly! These immigrants are killing Canada. That's why I left I don't think it'll ever be the same.

As an engineer, I'm doing my best to leave Canada for the USA. Lack of jobs, affordable housing, high taxes, and I just never felt like I belong in this country. I honestly would rather take my chances in the south. I'm tired of struggling here.
It's much better there. There are very few good jobs here and they are low paying.
Why don’t you start your own business as an engineer ?
@@HighMindsetHM Multiple issues, being that Canada is not tax friendly, or start-up friendly like the USA is. There is a culture for academics and reasearch, but not technical innovation.. There's a desire for comfort and security, but not for pioneering and trying something new, failing, and trying again. What I have seen is that USA will develop something first, then Canada will slowly adopt it. What Canada would need is a shift in it's culture. I think a non- US examples to look at would be Israel.
wow, an opinion from another engineer. I was thinking about immigration, but it seems that Can is having the same problems as the USA.
Nah bro we are not too good either
My family came to Canada 30 years ago. My father and siblings worked very hard to build a business that provides services to the public. My spouse works harder now to provide half of what I grew up with. I wonder how they will provide for their families. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to live a decent life. It’s not the Canada I grew up in. It makes me sad my children are not growing up with what I had. The taxes are high and expenses are high. Trying to own a home is near impossible. It’s a challenge to keep going. I don’t have anywhere else to go let alone my kids. Hope things change for the better for our children’s sake.

Came to Canada from Kuwait looking for a better future. Big mistake, shouldn't have flapped my gums at work, i had a decent banking job with a career and a future. Now im stuck driving a effin truck with a bachelors degree to make slightly above average with 0 appreciation from the public, and a middle finger to say thank you for my 70 hour work weeks. I see my bed once every 3 days. I sleep next to rats and roaches in truck by the ports. Belittled by port workers and customs agents. Barked at by everyone down to a forklift driver. Looked at as lesser of a human because of the colour of my skin. What a horrible life :( My sister has already left and she was a dentist in Toronto. My mom went back ages ago. My dad is the only one wanting to stay to take care of his elderly patients, many rely on him. All i do is pay taxes and hide my money in the business, what a corrupt and horrible financial system.
Stay in Kuwait and make your own country better. If every coward runs away from their country, then how is it ever supposed to get better?
That's so weird. In the US, we know we need truckers so we respect them.
Conservatives love truckers because of their work ethic. Also truckers tend to be patriotic because they see so much of the country and grow to love what they see while driving.
Liberals love truckers because most truckers come from working class homes. The trucking industry is one of the few industries that is diverse and equal, a liberal's wet dream.
Both conservative and liberal politicians try to represent truckers to get their votes. They're a desirable voting block that wields power.
Truckers are painted with a positive image in movies, music and TV. The American trucker is somewhat of an icon. I'm surprised Canada has a different view of truckers.

Well said!
Please, be careful! Do not let just anyone come into this country and work here without some kind of "Canadian experience". I am one of them and had to go back to school for a year and did several placements to understand more how things work in Canada.. it was a wonderful experience and I learned so much. I know SO many doctors who got their license in other countries from a very bad university, I hear them talking and I think "how on earth did you become a doctor?". A lot of them were never good students to begin with, they just signed up for classes and got the spot at a university and are now doctors. My point is, while things should be easier, the Canadian government has to make sure that we are bringing good quality into the country and not only good quantities.
I have a heart attack when they talk about lowering barriers to entry. I had two successive botched C section jobs done by foreign doctors (Tunde-Byass and Mei-Dan of North York general hospital). Tunde-Byass left me with a scar so thin is was spontaneously rupturing a subsequent pregnancy. Mai-Dan left the wound 100% dehised and infected with fecal bacteria. It was left undiagnosed and I was suffering for a year. Neither of them gave me an in person appointment to deal with the hack job they left me with. They do not give a d--m about Canadian standards of professional conduct. I got amazing service and an actually competent repair done by an American doctor for $12,000 USD, which seemed like a steal to me! Believe me, you do not want free garbage healthcare.
@@MedicalAutonomyProject Just because you had a bad experience, it doesn't mean everyone of Canadian doctors are bad. The experience I have had for my 73 years has been great. Very few complaints.

This has been building for at least two decades and I'm surprised that only now people are talking about this. There are few reasons anymore for quality immigrants to come to Canada. The only people coming here and staying are people coming from God-forsaken places that make Canada look like paradise, or wealthy investor immigrants who buy property here and maybe only live here for six months of the year.
Most of the immigrants will spend their lives in homeless shelters and on welfare.
If that
Exactly. As a European and EU citizen who lived in Canada for 13 years I don't see any good reason for Europeans to emigrate to Canada anymore. Canada is only worth it if you're from a very crappy third world country or warzone.

I left Toronto 20 years ago after living there for 8 years. I didn’t feel welcome and was worried about my livelihood. A lot of Canadians I’ve met were very close-minded and not friendly at all. They weren’t interested in other cultures and would rather hold onto stereotypes against “others”.
Hello Sherry, how are you doing today
Quebec people are very friendly.. I'm from Montreal. Yup Toronto is a colder vibe definitely. Come visit ! I'm sure it will change your mind 😊
Why would they wanna be interested in other cultures? They don't have to, it is you who should be interested in Canadian culture or what's left of it... you are in Canada, it's is not canadians that need to adapt to you
@@sarahsokalhow are the conditions in Montreal? Better than Toronto? Is it more affordable in terms of housings? Are there challenges regarding health care system where people have to wait lot at hospitals like most of Canada? If you can please provide me with details
@@ghassanjneinaty4421 Better than Toronto but it's not saying much. Most jobs require french and the Quebec gov is only interested in putting language laws (gets the votes). The emergency rooms in hospitals are overflowing and you can never get an appointment for a doctor.
On the plus side, housing costs are a lot better than the other provinces, Montreal as a city is very walkable and bikeable which is a real plus. Transit is great so you can live without a car.
500k immigrants per year of LEGAL immigration alone (without considering illegal and students) is the size of Mississauga per year to build.
the sheer amount of logistics, infrastructure around this is insanely unsustainable. Let alone the natural growth of the population
yet there restrictions on building new housing to create shortages to increase prices on housing
I have met immigrants in Canada who told me that they wanted to immigrate to America and couldn't, but their goal is still to move there. They are trying to use Canada as a stepping stone.
Out of the frying pan and into the fryer eh?
Its because US pays 125k for the same job and experience u get 90k in Canada. Thats why left my last company due to unfair trade practises with no justification. Canadians are not cheap alternatives for US employees. We must stand for our rights.
As they should
Immigrants have been doing that since as far back as the 1970s. One lady I knew came to Canada in 1973 from India when she married her husband (who himself left India for Great Britain in the early 1960s, then came to Canada in 1966). They lived in various places in southern Ontario, then moved to Houston, Texas in 1981.
Afterwards, the couple separated a few years later, with the wife moving to Columbus, Ohio in 1986. Husband developed liver cancer in the late 80s, died in India in 1991. Wife passed away just last month. Two sons are cardiac surgeons, third son works in IT security.
I was flying back to Toronto from Europe. Person nearby was from Pakistan. He told me his is flying to get his kid passport. It was around 2005. "Take Canadian passport and move to better place" he told me. By 2022 I realized he was 100% right. It is way less expensive to send kid to Germany for university, rather than paying to ripoff rent, tuitions and food in greedy Toronto.
Canada receive WAYYY too many immigrants. There is nothing wrong with immigration when you can actually handle the new immigrants.
The housing, school and health system cant handle the constant high influx of new citizens. That's why the housing market is insane right now.
Bring in more Palestinian refugees to build more mosques near the synagogues.
@dimitar297 Stop bombing their homes and they will stay in their home land.
Wow some common sense! (Not many folks have this common sense thinking anymore.)
Yup. Somewhere Along the way math, logic and calculating sustainability became 'racist'.
I feel even more sorry for the immigrants who have to deal with the realities of the cost of living crisis and not a great job market. I feel like there have to be solutions that must be better.
I moved to Canada as a child with my parents 41 years ago. It isn't just inflation and cost of living that is the problem. It's the dramatically increasing racism and discrimination, even against people who have been living in this country longer than the racists discriminating against them. Seriously? This is not the Canada that I came to as a child, grew up in, or have lived and worked in for many decades. I made the mistake of working around the world for a short time and picking up an accent that wasn't even mine originally. I had a Canadian accent before finishing elementary school. To come back to be asked to go home or 'we don't want your sort here' is not just simple racism, but hatred that makes me regret ever having agreed to taking on Canadian citizenship. My kids and grandchildren have Canadian accents and were Canadians from birth. But should they leave and return to the same crap??? What disgusts me more is that the PM dares to include immigrants with refugees, under the banner that 30% of the population are immigrants. Under the law, refugees are temporary migrants and usually nothing more. To bundle immigrants who came to Canada through legal means of applications, brought hundreds of millions dollars into Canada with them of their own hard-earned money from their own countries, to have it taxed out of them, and their families deliberately put into poverty so Canada can fulfil its 19th century-PM Macdonald immigration policy of, and I quote from a Canadian federal government website, quoting PM Macdonald directly, about breeding out the Indigeneous people, is beyond sick! The refugees get a free ride at the expense of hard-working Canadians, 90% of whom came from immigrant stock! What happens when Trudeau says these deceitful lies about legal immigrants is that the racism and discrimination increases dramatically. I have been left in agony in hospital due to evil racist Canadians who thought that my accent meant that I had just flown in yesterday and what right did I have to be there? Police refused to charge a neighbor whose son was threatening the life of my grandchild because the neighbor works for the CRA! Other people have the same complaints. Democracy? What democracy, oh, and please spare us Mr. Trudeau the claim to be a constitutional monarchy, when most don't want the monarchy as a head of state for Canada! I have been honored to have known, still know, and will know in the future, many good, hard-working, caring and decent Canadians, but Mr. Trudeau, can you explain to me, how many of those were actually of immigrant stock and how many have forgotten where their families came from? Canada used to be a good country, but when a person has to keep explaining where they got their job experience from and if they have any Canadian experience for every time that they look for a job in their lifetime in Canada, something is very wrong with Canada. Most jobs in Canada are blue collar and very few are white collar, yet Canada still continues to deceive the world into believing otherwise. Canada is a great vast and beautiful land, but only a small percentage of it has any infrastructure, roads, or homes sufficient to house what is a decreasing fraction of society. Refugees take preference over immigrants and citizens alike. The lie about the homeless is getting bigger. Most homeless Canadians today are veterans, elderly, disabled, mentally ill, poor, and professionals and trades people, yet Canada brings in countless professionals, claiming that their education and experience will get them into the professions that they are coming from. It's all a scam! Canadian education is not the best and yet people with better educations and job experience are being forced to spend all their money to go back to university or college to get jobs that they rarely will be hired for. Canada is not short of doctors, just short of professionals who hire professionals without using discrimination, hatred and racism for their HR kit! Many taxi drivers are doctors, engineers, and so on. So, please stop lying to the world and tell the truth. And no doubt this entry will be taken down because it offends a Canadian who doesn't want the world to know the truth.

Well, part of the problem is 'true' Canadians are not serious about perpetuating their identity. What I mean is they failed to sustain a replacement level, something that led to the aging population.
Then, comes the conservatives and blame the liberals; when in fact it's the computer that took the decision to bring an X number of foreigners.
And what exacerbates the situation even more is the shipping of jobs overseas, mainly to Asia. So, here the conundrum, bring swathes if people to what? Practically nothing.
Then, comes another actor in the demise of Canada: Democracy. Voting became like a catwalk event where politicians with no skills display their incompetence to a meek and gullible crowd.
Everything has gotten worse under Trudeau. It is going to take decades to fix the mess he has left us with.
That's why he brings 500.000 people a year. All of these ignorants, to say the least, are his future voters.
A lot of these problems have been brewing long before Trudeau or even Harper. Prime Ministers / Presidents are lazy scapegoats to blame.

Canada in general has to go through a “infrastructure revolution” to grow any further. there is not enough cities, roads, housing to sustain our current growth rate. There needs to be a massive investment in the infrastructure which also would create a ton of jobs.
Agreed. Our transportation is awful. Unless you live in a major city, there is very little public transportation available.
Agreed. Single family exclusionary zoning, parking minimums, lot area minimums and so much more have created unsustainable urban sprawl and made it Uber expensive to build anything. We really do need less red tape, less regulation, and less staunch zoning control

I have a different perspective as a Canadian who has lived abroad since 2017. Digital Nomads are a growing force around the world and more and more people are retiring in countries other than where they were born. So this is a global phenomena, not just something happening in isolation in Canada. The world is on the move. In the future I predict this will greatly increase. Nothing will stop the globalization of the world, and I mean that in the truest sense - not restricted just to the economic realm.

These politicians talk incessantly about those poor refuges living on the streets. They never mention the 500,000 Canadians who are homeless. The government of Canada is ignoring the desperate Canadians who have nowhere to live and nothing to eat. I'm not against immigrants or people of any nation, but we have a serious homeless problem in Canada and it seems senseless to continue to fork out our Tax dollars to those who have contributed nothing and ignoring the needs of it's own citizens. This is a disgrace and completely unacceptable.
Sure, but this has nothing to do with immigration. You might as well have commented that the govt isn't doing enough to save the whales.
With all my respect
Canada needs the immigrants to keep its economy going.
The rate of growth of population is 1.1% per year according to the government
while the sustainable rate is 1.7% per year i.e. you need bring the difference
0.6% per year from immigration otherwise the Canadian economy ca not function
However, homelessness is one the problems Canadians are facing due to
lack housing national and provincial policies.
Let us face it, more than 50% of Canadians are living below the poverty line, I may say : Seniors, people with special needs, single mams, natives !!! why ?
Is Canada a poor country !!!! Absolutely not !!!
However, corruption and mismanagement is eating 60-70 % of Canada's revenues
As an Example : Canadian oil is giving away to American companies almost for free in return of of a royalty fee 3-5% , so, American sell our crude for $100 per barrel but Canada gets only $5 from this $100 , same thing is happening in our mining industries : Gold , Copper, Uranium.
Because, Canada DOES not have enough refineries to produce its gas it needs therefore, it has to buy it from USA at a market price !!!
Canadian electricity is more worse, Qc sells its electricity To USA at 3cents per KWH
then Ontario buys it from USA at market price 50-75 cent per KWH
Canadians are ripped off : for every Dollar the government gives to a special needs or welfare candidate, the government spend $10-$20 to manage this ONE Dollar, things are more worse with natives : the government spend $20 to $30 to manage each Dollar a native candidate gets !!!!!
Probably !!!!!! Now , You know the reasons behind Canadian 's poverty symptoms including homelessness !!!!!
That's true. I totally agree with you.

I came here as a student back in 2017 it took me more than 5 years to understand the system.. I lost so many things after all this years.. Now things have changed for everyone.. My time has come to live my rest of my life in a better place...
To be honest, i have second thought as well of leaving Canada... i love Canada but i find it so hard to live.. not jist extremely cold weather during winter but you have to chase your hobbies as well and the way of living here is supee high... I am an islander..i came from a beautiful tropical island..and I really miss home so much..white sand beach, tuquoise water, whale watching,dolphin watching,island hopping,scubba diving, free diving , mountain hiking, and more... i really miss it..i am planning to settle my retirement back home...
The thing that angers me the most is how the Canadian government treats immigrants better than its citizens. They're offering so many services that should be given to the actual citizens and permanent residents first, not people who have yet to even settle here.
As a non-Canadian who keeps getting pestered to get a Canadian PR, I find this strange too. Why do they keep making programs for immigrants who want to move to Canada but nothing for Canadians themselves? It just makes me feel that there's something wrong that the Canadian government wants to hide.
Exactly. Catering more to minorities. It should be to all regardless.
@@susandeleon4702I think you missed the point
In this moment I'm visiting Canada, and I saw many elderly people carrying a red flower, and I asked a woman for the reason. As soon as she told me I realized how newcomers don't care. So I see your point.
As an immigrant (legal one for the far righties who might be wondering), I also don't like it. It makes me feel as if I am more important simply based on my classification as "immigrant". Having lived in Canada for 7 years, I am gratefull for all the opportunities my family and I were given, I just hope it could be given to all Canadians regardless because this is causing more divide and racism amongst us than we think. Now granted, the services in question are given to people who are new and thus not knowledgeable about Canada nor the different systems placed within the workplace and education.
I want my old Canada back!!!! ❤️🇨🇦❤️

whyy
Thank you for leaving. This was never your land to occupy.
@@kate57425if you go to Europe, choose Germany or the United Kingdom. The downside to the UK is that you get no EU passport (Brexit) if you want to work and live in different EU countries with ease. If you choose NA, then the obvious answer is the United States. Far more better job opportunities, especially if you are in a highly skilled profession or have an advanced degree. The ceiling for money to be made is higher in America than in Canada. The USA attracts both “refugee” type of immigrants and highly skilled professionals. Canada only attracts refugees who wants an easy way to naturalization and hog up the healthcare system.
@@kate57425 It depends on the industry you're in, but generally if you want stability and to never have to worry about healthcare, employment rights, unemployment money, a comfortable middle class life, then choose Europe, especially central Europe. Taxes are high but the things your taxes pay for are available to you when you need them. For example, I unexpected needed several surgeries, I paid nothing for the hospital or doctor's visits and since it was an urgent medical condition, I didn't have to wait on a long waiting list or anything. As far as the crime rate goes, I definitely feel a lot safer here overall and even though we live in an uncertain world, things are more stable here overall, I would say (although naturally the start of armed conflict in Ukraine definitely had us all on edge for a while.)
However, in the US, in certain industries you can definitely make more money than you would make here in the EU and less of it would go to taxes. Depending on which state you choose to live in, you might only have to pay federal income tax. It's definitely more of a business-friendly country if you want to run your own business. But healthcare could be a gamble unless you make sure you get on a good insurance plan and locate yourself in a city or town with access to excellent hospitals and medical centers (like suburban Boston, suburban Philly, New York area, etc.)
English speaking obsessed country with Canadian experience ( truck driver,Uber driver, packaging, restaurant) a must for success....😁😬
That's why many people who come to Canada leave Canada. No one wants hypocrisy and look down upon ...
I arrived in 2006, I had travelled the world and Canada was my favourite. Drugs and crime amplified by idiotic ideology have broken this place. I used to love this country. The health care system is now the same as government hospitals in Africa, just newer buildings. Now I'm established, have 3 children in school and my wife and I are still seriously considering our options.
Which country you will prefer to migrate ??
Canada is becoming unaffordable for even the middle-class, while oil companies, grocery stores & bank shareholders enjoy tax breaks. Owning a home has become impossible for many, many people now and, they see the writing on the wall.
I only received a PR card and returned to my home country.
There 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.

Why are there labour shortages? There are a lot of construction workers looking for jobs, but the companies are not building due to red tape and other challenges. Also, why bringing immigrants when our own current people need jobs? Do you know why the younger folks don't want to work? I hear this all the time from them... because it is simply not "worthy it". they would make around 1600-2k dollars a month working full time, then having to pay 1500-2k in rent alone, what about the rest of their expenses? I hear a lot of young people saying.. "having a full time job no longer pays the basic needs, it can't even pay rent.. it is simply crazy!". Please, let's take care of the folks who are currently in Canada, and if needed, we can welcome more people. I am not against immigration, but making them believe that they will have a job and a place to live is crazy. Why bring a bunch of hard working immigrants and getting them to live in bunk beds in a crowded apartment? Take the Indian International students as an example... they are so full of dreams, but there are a ton of them who are currently sharing a house with 14 other people, and others that are relying on food banks! Come on!
The city of London is another example, pre pandemic they had an average of 50 people going to homeless shelters, now, it is more than 400!!! Another lovely Canadian problem, I was talking to a friend the other day, she said that she had taken her husband to the hospital and waited 16 hours to see a doctor here in southern Ontario... we had another friend with us who said"wow... I waited 14 hours last week". Then, a week later, the hospital goes to social media to say that they are understaffed and under stress. This is all over Canada.. The health care is kinda crumbling. It takes forever to get an appointment with a specialist. I had to wait a whole year for one, and he did not even help me much. Getting a follow up with him has been incredibly difficult, and I have been waiting for that for about 6 months. Come on!
But, the idea of Trudeau is to bring more and more people...Stop selling Canada as if it is an amazing country to people abroad. The true reality is, they will struggle big time!( a lot of them anyways)
Born and raised Canadians are leaving as well. They are beyond fed up. The Quebec government is a joke.
We all know that the core of the problem is an immigration policy (not the immigrants) which is completely disconnected from the rest of the picture. Immigration targets have not been built in conjunction with housing and transportation programs, and it would seem that we are not bringing in the sort of labour we actually need - skilled trades ready to build homes. It rather seems that immigration policy has been crafted in lock-step with fiscal and monetary policy in order to push back on wages and expedite the financialization of everything, especially housing. In short, it seems to be part of the plan to move towards a digital feudalism, where capitalists are vassals of the owners, who make their money through rent-seeking.
There are plenty of skilled tradesman willing to build homes, and yet many are unemployed. What is happening can be explained by Austrian Economics. Read “Economics in One Lesson” by Hazlitt, and “Whatever Happened to Penny Candy” by Richard Mayburry.
We don’t need to bring in skilled trades. We don’t need to bring in anybody. We have plenty of ppl here who could be trained to do these jobs, and I suspect it would be cheaper to subsidize the costs of training and educating domestically than it is to absorb hundreds of thousands if newcomers a year.
A young friend just got into welding and, after finding out how much he was making, his PHD neuroscience proff of a roommate started asking him about getting into the trade lol.
@@firstandforemost87 I agree.. there isn't enough jobs and homes for Canadians as it stands
I've heard some insider stories of the justin trudeau Liberal cult and it's worse than you think. The bureaucracy and management brainwashing of their staff by diminishing them as 'unwanted guests' in Canada is truly frightening. No wonder every aspect of government under these libs has been failing. How do you expect productivity and positive minds to accomplish anything when they are being dragged down a hell hole!?
to be that wrong on everything proves you have a job and safety net to live through this mess. We need to cut taxes, drill for oil, build housing, repair infrastructure and fix the medical system. Cutting 40-to 50% of the gov't fat and not spending money on other countries and political pet projects would do a lot of that !!! We don't need ONE more immigrant until we have these things fixed. And they are going to stop coming anyway.
I have been here for 17 years.. I am 31 now, will be immigrating again to somewhere else. Canada has really changed for the worse in the past 5 years.
To many immigrants brought in. Leave so Canada can get back to normal.
When my family immigrated to Canada it had integrity, freedom and was respected globally, for me Canada lost this when Canada pushed Manufacturing out of Canada, as far back in the late 70's early 80's - This was the first exodus from Canada, most left and never came back, this is also when Canada stopped competition is all sectors, food and groceries/ banking, insurance/real estate/engineering, this all happened under Pierre Trudeau.
Fast forward here we are again under a Trudeau and the exudes is greater, people are not leaving in larger numbers- Affordability/ failed medical system/corruption in government/ lack of completion/ Failed promises/crime/terrorism sympathizing and hate/drugs/ child exploitation/indoctrination/ Gender madness/woke/ immigration/refuges vetting/.....This all happened under the Liberal/NDP cartel and again under another Trudeau.....
Now there is talk about bring in more immigrants, when we can not deal with our current population and the hype of Job jobs is made in Canada only unless you wish to be a Taxi driver/food delivery or be on a government payroll or embrace one of the growth sectors in Government services/Food Bank volunteers, fast food and again as a last resort more taxi drivers....
Canada is broken.

Macleans magazine had a write up on car insurance fraud in the early 2000s. Some area codes in Ontario found it very difficult to attain insurance bc of the ppl living in those areas were so crooked.

Canada was never in favor of immigrant professionals, and have always used the highly skilled doctors to fill labor roles even though they invite them on fasttrack visas. These people have massive egos and nothing to show for it, they think their medical programs are better than USA and apparently you need to waste a decade of your life to prove to them that you're up to "Canadian Standards" which honestly aren't that great. Canada likes to keep the bad news hush hush, promoting a false, overly positive image of the country while the reality is different. Once you're landed, you've fallen in their trap.
Most canadian doctors are better at business than medicine. 🤑
CANADA does have many foreign professionals. What more do these foreigners want?
Some smart comment here! And "Canadian Standard" is not the standard at all. 😅
Perfect comment. Totally agree.
When I migrated twenty years ago from Ukraine, we had to apply and wait for 2-3 years for visa. Application form had questions about education, work experience, health, criminal records. You had to get certain amount of points to get permission to come. Looking at population in Canada right now, I doubt most of newcomers had to go through the same strict selection.

We have enough people as is. The problem isnt that we aren’t welcoming, but that our govt thinks its a good thing to bring in millions of people with no place to live and drive up housing costs.
Well, maybe you should take your Family the the Ukraine and live with the war and deaths. That's why our immigration is so high. We opened the doors for the Ukrainians to give them a safe place to live.
When the rate of growth of the Canadian populations is 1.1.% per year and the sustainable rate is 1.7% per year this means Canada has to cover the difference from immigrants to keep the economy going !!!

I lived in Canada since I was 19 years old, for 13 years. I had a job in Canada even before I set foot on Canadian soil and 3 weeks ago I finally left for Switzerland because Trudeau broke Canada and turned into a very depressing place. As an EU citizen I can work and live freely in at least 27 countries and I don't want to live in a country that's packed with homeless drug addicts who act like zombies and young people can't afford to buy homes and start a family. Switzerland is also expensive but at least the wages make up for the cost of living.
I met some of these people in Thailand after COVID. There was a small group of Chinese who kept to themselves at our hostel. One day I overheard them in Chinese repeatedly talking about my country Mexico which got me to talk with them. They were quite happy to learn I could speak Chinese but more excited to learn I was from Mexico. They started asking me a bunch of questions about crossing the border into the US to which I bluntly told them I had no idea about and discouraged it. I asked where they got these crazy ideas from and they said that people were posting videos and tutorials of how to cross into the US online. The Chinese government hard handed approach to COVID was what made them leave. They wanted to go both for the freedom and economic benefits but they had a very naive and overly optimistic view of the US. They saw the high wages US workers were making but had no idea as to the incredibly high living costs associated with living there. I tried explaining that there was a housing shortage and that their expectations for life in the US would set them for disappointment but they either didn't believe me or brushed off my criticism. I also tried encouraging them to go to German or Australia instead (places which I feel would be better and easier for them to enter) but they seemed dead set on just going to the US. Unfortunately I don't know where they are now as Wechat is blindly and constantly blocking and deleting accounts in SE Asia without reason......................

I immigrated to Canada in 2006. I have two degrees and a well-paid job. The cost of living in Ontario is so high- it leaves me with nothing but negative balance every month. I don’t have my own property, my car is old and all I have is DEBT. I can’t afford living in Canada!(P.S I lived in Quebec too- it was even worse than Ontario)
Why don't you move to the outskirts of the city and commute for cheaper rent/mortgage?
You are living in the two most expensive provinces in Canada. There are other cities with cheaper housing, the possibility of owning a car.
My husband and I could never afford to live in Ontario. My three sons moved to Montreal for work for a large company. They are all doing very well.
Buy as pensioners, we could not afford to live there. Visiting only.
Indeed, houses in Montreal are 1/3 cheaper than in Toronto. Or think about Laval.
Back in 2006 houses are only less than 100k in Toronto. You should blame your financial planning skill for not owning a house lmao

As a poor Canadian with no ties to any other country, where can I flee to? What kinds of foreign government assistance could I receive?
The best option is the U.S. Same language, short distance, and better pay. I'm not sure about any foreign government assistance. Most countries don't want poor people. They just want your $$$.
The best option is to find a rich person willing to love in Canada but has no idea where to start like me.
People who immigrate to Canada receive no special government assistance. Don't fall for the (mostly racist) hype on this score. In fact, immigrants to Canada have to sign in advance that they will support themselves. As to whete you could emigrate to without having a lot or any money of your own, research the many South American countries with expats from the US and Canada.
I am one of those after and 33 years in Canada .I am 70 years old and still working to make living. Last week I watched our government meeting.

Canada is in a catch 22 situation: We need to reduce immigration to restore the trust needed to build prosperity (the research on this is absolutely clear - see Putnam, et al, for example.), and we need to maintain it to make up for labor shortages. The fact is, polls show that trust is at an all-time low between Canadians, and it is due to bringing in too many people who are self-segregating and not assimilating. We pumped massive excess cash into our economy during COVID, did not produce enough housing, introduced laws that severely constrained agriculture and dramatically increased the costs of food distribution, and brought in massive numbers of immigrants, among other things. The fact is, we have crushed the birth rate, made homes too expensive, and raised the cost of living to a point where people are desperate, and our school system has destroyed the enterprising spirit that built our economy in the first place.
No we need to have the shortage in labour. That increases wages. Maybe when people can afford to live, it'll make sense for immigrants to come here
@@sh115067wages wouldn't need to be increased if everything wasn't so goddman crazy expensive. Higher wages just leads to more inflation and it never ends. Curbing inflation and supply issues is definitely better

I was tinkering and planning for a full 5 years wanting to live in Canada, BC but decided not too after evaluating the monthly cost. Each annual visits gotten longer and longer to get the feel on the ground. It was not meant to be, perhaps next time thou.
I think Canada needs less commumism and more real canadian culture. When i moved in 3 years ago everything felt extremely artificial, confusing, and depressing. Like everyone was on the brink of going crazy. I am glad I came back to my country Italy.
Canada has become a bleeding heart nation for war torn countries and third world immigrants. Just like the US, we have switched from a manufacturing/production society to a nation of consumerism. That's why all the jobs here are customer service based. People realize this, tuck tail and go back home. We need to take care of our housing crisis.cost of living, homeless and look after our seniors. It's a disgrace what's happening here. We have bigger fish to fry.
I'm one of those former prospective immigrants who left after trying to settle there.
I arrived to be with my Canadian spouse, with an advanced degree and work experience and waited for my Spousal PR and work permit.
I paid Canadian taxes (higher than of my home country) on the world income that I earned while still living in said home country. At the time when CRA treated me as a "resident for tax purposes", I had no official immigration status (only implied) in the country despite doing my paperwork fully because "immigration services were facing challenges due to covid".
Eventually, I thought why waste my youth and education waiting for an immigration decision that was taking 3 times as long as expected (based on the official sources)? My spouse and I moved (back) to the EU and are happier here. He was able to get status here for a tenth of the cost and only within 2 months.
My daughter a four generation Canadian married a German man, he applied and eventually received his PR status as a spouse of a Canadian. His degree in Germany was not accepted here, therefore he had to work in jobs just above min wage, with the cost of living here so high, they both left to live in Germany in 2021. My daughter was without a GP for 2 years in Canada, within a few months of living in Germany and being put on the German health care, she had a GP.
After living for 13 years in Canada I came to the conclusion that the best place for Europeans is Europe. There is no good reason to move to Canada from EU.

They visit Canada a lot and know how sunny it is here, even in winter.
I have had friends who moved to rainy climates in Canada and had to leave because of depression.
There are many factors involved in moving to different countries - language, weather, living far from family. It’s not just the economy.
@@user-ow2pk9io4b He didn't know his degree wouldn't be accepted but at the time but his reason for moving to Canada was to be with my daughter.

After six years being in Canada, when the cost of living kept going up plus he had a condo in Germany, they moved to Germany and have been there just over two years.

Nobody can find a doctor , they switched everything to virtual appointments .. we used to have doctors making house calls .. we had 5 doctors just 50 years ago here in my small town .. now none ..
They just let a man die refusing a transplant because he didn't get a needle , then they asked his family to donate his organs ..
Trash
As a sick Canadian with sick relatives our healthcare is fine. It could always be better, but it is fine. Gotten way more from the health care system alone than what I've ever paid in taxes.
"too many immigrants from countries that have a different culture. That rips society apart in the long-term"... Yikes...
Scary comment, Esp from a German :immigrants from different cultures???
Adding 450000 people instead of helping the people already here. Makes total sense
when the student visas are included it gets over 1 million. When raising concern about this you are called racist. But the people most harmed by the next million are the last million.
Canada is too cold to live during winter and so boring. and thats also a factor why they are leaving.
I left at age 23 to the US cause I felt I had no decent opportunities in my field (pharmaceutical R&D) in Montreal. I know so many other Canadians who did the same. Sad cause I wanted to stay but it didn't make any sense to me.
Canada, in all honesty what could be said about it ?
A country that promoted itself to the world as the demure virginal type of place to live but the reality is much different.
Where, when and who did it start with you ask ?
It started to go down hill with the original " Free Trade Agreement " , NAFTA , between Canada, the U.S and Mexico , under the Brian Mulroney Conservative government. That was the beginning of the end of Canada, and it has never recovered ever since.
For worker's, it was a death nail to manufacturing, innovation and investment in Canada. The opportunities just aren't here.
Immigrants soon realise the name of the game is abuse. Abuse finding a decent roof over your head, abuse in the workplace, and pretty much any other place you can think of. Let alone there is no longer a functional healthcare system in Canada. That vaporized before our very eyes.
The failure to innovate, the failure to invest, means a failure to inspire.
All it boils down to is, Canada is just another dog eat dog place to live.

That's true, the same conservative government that came up with the GST.
@@Canuck-sv8dh
The same Conservative government that actually did something about it by lowering it while the previous Liberal government elected on the promise they would scrap it maintained it as the GST proved too lucrative.
Abuse on the workforce is RAMPANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@theultimateartist4153 canadian workplaces are toxic. this whole pretend 'nice canada' sh8t makes it even worse. a form of gaslighting
Not "free" trade - Free Health care. Put "free" in front of it and people will think that is true.
we all understand that those who leave are clever and educated people, but not those who live completely on gov support. In other words, it is all sad
hatred visible here!
how you are gonna run country without immigrants?
I'm educated and on government support. If it wasn't for this ****ing disease I'd be living in Germany by now
Yes they don't mention that we are losing all the educated immigrants.
Same thought!!
Education is not always intelligence.
Expensive cost of living and massive uptake in political corruption.
Is it really that hard to grasp?
I am a foreigner who lives in Canada now. I am not Canadian or East Indian. However, I am 100% SURE that if Canada did not import those useless, disgusting, and rude things, India would have been bankrupt 100% already. Unfortunately, Canada is still importing tons of those things again and again and Canada is about bankruptcy now. The Canadian GDP rate is proving that. Really useless and rude.
And, yes, I also was thinking about PR, but I will leave this country pretty soon. One of the big reasons is the large population of East India in this country who are useless and just causing problems such as lack of health care or inflation.
Based on the workforce at Tim Hortons and Circle K , if Columbus sailed across the ocean today, he'd be forgiven for thinking he made it all the way to India.
These are mostly foreign students being exploited by our own universities. Their lives are often very sad and miserable. I have much empathy for them, along with much contempt for university administrators and governments who cut funding to post-secondary institutions.
So are TH and CK benefiting or are they franchises with their owners (likely immigrants?) benefiting ? lol trickle down slave economics ..
@@jay1645 yes they are benefitting because the Canadian government subsidizes their wage. So TH saves money on employment at tax payers expense.
By subsidizing their wage, I mean the government encourages hiring of foreigners. Why would these companies hire regular Canadians. Over time, the wages get artificially reduced.
@@jay1645 but yes CK probably owned by immigrants. Other companies are forced to diversity hire but you don't really see that at Ck. Half the people that work there can't communicate effectively enough to answer a simple question.
This is the real issue with Canada's immigration. What are the consequences of false promises to future Canadians, and how will they hurt Canada's reputation worldwide?
Reputation? Lol
that "Canada" image is already hurt there is ton of videos in different languages here on youtube
Canada's reputation is weak lol. Both India and China didn't give a damn about Canada.
I don't know where you get your information from but if it wasn't for covid immigration to Canada wouldn't have slowed down it's picked back up again. Calgary Vancouver they make the top 20 list every year for how many years now for most livable cities in the world. When's the last time anybody had mass shootings or blew up a bunch of s*** and did it on behalf of their home country. As a world traveller Canada has a great reputation. The only people that really get too worried about some of the false promises of the government are the people that usually complain no matter what the outcome is.
@@kuriyamatidusflossy Yeah, lots of them are jealous of Canada and will do anything to make us look bad.
Which country shall we head to?
@@noobsule5430No way I live in South Korea it sucks
Real estate prices are completely out of control, that’s why.
In my opinion, we should completely STOP foreign immigration into Canada. Instead, let the systems between corporate and social needs work to balance themselves out naturally. Foreign immigration is just compounding a problem and a problem.
😂
So privatization of the ccp and health system?
Immigrants students pay triple what domestic students pay to go to school which help colleges and universities alleviate a lot of their costs to domestic students but immigrants are the problem? Immigrants do the jobs that a lot of Canadians don’t want to do for example: farm work. Why do you believe Canadian farms depends heavily on foreign workers? Why? If you didn’t have “immigrants” working these jobs. It wouldn’t be your food cost only that you would be worried about but continue to spew your myopic propaganda
I agree. They need to go somewhere else but Canada! We are full, it affecting our country. We don’t need more.
canada needs foreign worker to help your economy grow you dont have worker specially in agrculture and food manufacturing so if you dont want immigrants who will work for those company ? eventually they will close down due to lack of manpower
From Montreal, These 8 reasons why people leave Canada :
- The high cost of living in Canada
- Rise in crime and homelessness in Canada
- Rise of woke ideology in Canada
- Bad weather in Canada
- The terrible Canadian health care system
- The people in Canada
- The Corrupt government of Canada
- Crazy High Taxes
About 6 of these could indeed be good reasons, 2 or 3 of them very, very debatable though.
High cost of living: biggest drawback, yes.
Crime and homelessness: yes, less so in the suburbs and small towns, but still high by European and Asian standards.
Woke ideology, meh, unless you really care.
Weather: yes, if you hate winters and the cold, some are Ok with it.
Healthcare: not ideal but not as tragic as in the USA.
Canadians: hmm, not the worst, have seen worse, very progressive in general, might dislike if narrow-minded, not for parochial, small-town mentality types ( that is 80% of immigrants).
Corrupt government: not the worst, government is pretty awful everywhere, a necessary evil.
High taxes: yes, another con.
I think the corrupted government should go first on the list.
dont forget..that Quebec all voted liberal. Your province runs the country cause most politicians are french canadian.
Very good list, the one I don't mind is weather.... winter sports! But my happiness skiing doesn't override any of the other things on this list hahaha.
I didn’t take this list serious after I saw “rise of work ideology in Canada.” Russia, Belarus, and Palestine (just to name a few,) are great places to live if you don’t like “woke ideology.”
Go to West Edmonton Mall on a Saturday and see what it looks like now
Could have fooled me, I live in a small rural town and feel like an outsider more and more every year.
