Ex-Torontonian and ex-PR of Canada here. I live in Toronto in yrs 2014-9 in total of almost five and half years. In general it was amazing learning experience of living in another country and in a multicultural hub. Unfortunately, even though Toronto is a scientific and technical hub, salaries were bad even then and getting a job seemed mission impossible. It was all about networking, but how to network without being in a network? I came for Canada for postdoctoral training and even after 5 years I was worthless to job marker. Moved to Switzerland to be closer to my family, my Canadian work experience meant more in the UK and in Switzerland than in Canada. Recently moved from academia and industry and starting better life in very late 30s. From Canada I remember people complaining about job market, cost of living, depressive atmosphere, and winters. A friend told me that leaving in 2019 was best decision of my life. I guess she is right. Now I live in a Swiss countryside, place which is embodiment of boredom, loneliness and social isolation but I have a job that pay my rent, good manager and colleagues and beautiful nature.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Love that for you and glad to see that you’re happier in your new home. We hope it gets better in Toronto one day :)
@@WhizQueen Thank you for kind words. Hope the same for Toronto as there are many wonderful, hardworking, and proud people out there who deserve better.
I believe immigrates should save up or get careers and move back to Africa. You will be living like a king.
@@njd5815 I don’t think so, africa is full of issue
If you talk about the GTA the population is about 7 million, not 3 million like you said on the video
I live in Tokyo 20 minutes from Shibuya and my rent is around $700… I can’t even imagine paying that much to live in Toronto, and it’s not even that nice of a city, freezing cold most of the year, and the public transportation is awful. I can totally understand why people are getting out.
Toronto is so expensive and it's not like you get much for it, that's the problem. If you're going to pay that much, might as well live in London or NYC where you can actually enjoy all there is to do in those big cities.
If you have the money and can afford cities like Toronto why not. But if your average your basically a peasant
It's not about hating Canada or what. It's about the reality. People really need to know the truth. Thanks for your honest review.
Exactly!! It’s just what the media don’t tell you
@@WhizQueen hello hows canada doing? And how r u doing when will post a next yt video?
So true. Thank you for making this video so others can be warned!!
You bet!
I completely agree with your points. Well done 👏🏼
Facts! Thank you
After saw a lot of video about living in Canada I realize that no one place is perfect have his own issues, In order to understand ever place is not perfect, i saw so many videos about benefits an harm to living in Canada, EUA, France, I came to the conclusion that wherever I go i must be cool
Absolutely agree. The low wages and high living costs makes this place unaffordable.
It's the distribution of population nationwide that's the issue. It's definitely obvious that the most populated cities will have a higher cost of living. So don't think that this problem only exists in Canada.
If we expand the smaller cities like Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Halifax, St. John's, Fredericton etc, cost of living will decrease nationwide. That's what I think at least.
But wait, what's the point of expanding the smaller cities if not much people live there anyway? In that case, we can accept more immigrants from overpopulated countries like India, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Pakistan, China etc. I am from Bangladesh and lots of people here want to move to Canada but can't due to financial reasons.
Either that or encourage women in those cities I mentioned to have more kids.
But, I do have faith in our government that the cost of living issue will soon be solved
I guess Toronto is just like New York. Insanely overpriced, with low income. Wages just went up to $17.50 an hr. But it’s still not enough. I travel to Halifax Nova Scotia often, and honestly I always don’t wanna leave. Because it’s not crazy here like NY.
Totally the same! It’s crazy
I believe Toronto could be worse in some respects
@@richardramfire3971 The issue is that expats always go to the bigger cities like Toronto and Vancouver. If we expand the smaller cities o send people from the bigger cities to the smaller cities, I can assure you that cost of living will slowly decrease nationwide.
@@auniruddha yes I agree. Some expats will live 2 families in a small apartment
Wow, this was very Insightful. Everything you said is true. The struggle to get our apartment was t easy.
Even when you have money, it’s sooo hard. Like why so much struggle?? 😌
Well said, one thing to remember as George Zwaagstra said from a letter written in 1951 by his brother who had immigrated to Canada: "George, he said, you're coming to Canada, and Canada is a land overflowing of milk and honey, BUT you have to find your own cows and bees."
Have a clear cut goal, develop financial literacy, think long term and may you find your own cows and bees 😎
Thanks for making the video. Please can make a video on the best visa type one should apply for when migrating to Canada. Please inlight me more on on e.g working visa, student visa, visting visa, resident visa eat.
Will not be surprised to see WhizQueen move to Nigeria honestly 😂
And honestly I think she should asap
Maybe I will, maybe not. Who knows 🤷🏽♀️
and i'll probably be on plane with her
Is moving to Canada worth it even in the first place??
That’s a good question to begin with honestly
@@WhizQueen what is your opinion on that?
Been in Canada a decade ... It's not worth anymore
@@hafizali4950 not if you're a real estate investor and a proffesional designate. Sorry but ya'll just complain, why don't you take ownership of your actions? If you don't think you can make it, you'll NEVER make it. Btw, when you mention Canada do you mean Toronto, Vancouver or Calgary? Cause Canada is huge and there are opportunities everywhere.
Absolutely not worth it,it's extremely boring,no life here at all
I’m looking to move out Toronto what are some places I should look at? I work in insurance
Alberta with minus 30 degree and loneliness is not better either
Exactly!! There is always a trade off.
There are some ways how we can solve this issue. It's obvious that the most populated cities will have a higher cost of living. So, what we can do is encourage families that live in the less populated cities in Canada to have more kids and encourage them to just stay in their cities.
Or we can accept immigrants from overpopulated countries like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, China, Nigeria etc to come live in Canada, specifically in cities that aren't that populated like Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Halifax, St. John's etc.
They need to make a cap … 1 bed apartment $450 a month. 2 bed. $900 a month … 2 bed house $1200 a month … they should cap the rent at those prices a month
Sorry but Canada is huge. If you can't afford Toronto, try Kitchener or some other city in Ontario, heck Winnipeg, Regina are affordable places. If you don't like the cold, then why are you here in the first place? Most people in dt Toronto that can afford 2.5k rent are people earning household income of 200k+ a year, in finance, IT, engineering, medical field and management. Last time i checked, North York is renting 1 br for 1.8k, which is decent considering most people in that area are making 100k+ household income. But if you make the national median, say 70k a year, you're better off in Hamilton or Oshawa, which you can easily find jobs in, as we are in a labour market. Then there are also people in trades where the company pays you to travel all over Canada, pays your meal and gives you a room. Oh and also a very handsome income as well. You just have to be patient and experience the system here. I'm an immigrant here, and I can tell you tough the system is not perfect here in Canada, at least I don't have to worry about who to bribe or the safety of your family just to SURVIVE.
I’m very sure you don’t live in Toronto or even Ontario to be making this comments. I live in North york (which is still considered Toronto) and you CAN’T find a 1br for 1800. If you have an existing lease or lease transfer or basement then that’s possible but for new lease? It’s very hard. What’s the average income in Canada? Less than 80k! Most people that live in GTA stay here because of work. If you asked them to move to Kitchener to save on rent, will they get a job there? Even rent in Oshawa now is $1500 for a one bedroom. A lot of people paying $2.5k rent earn about $100k, the 200k range you’re referring to is a small percentage of people. I think you need to research more about the cost of living in Toronto to help you understand what I’m saying. If you move to smaller cities, you reduce your chances of earning higher income. So there’s always a trade off where you need to chose between more money or low cost of living alongside other personal preferences.
@@WhizQueen The guy doesn't stay there and just give inaccurate stat. This are the kind of people that create problems for immigrant with their lies just to look good.
Canada is ridiculously high all over. Of course worse in Toronto.
A million immigrants came to Canada last year. I will let you guess where the majority ended up
Yet to watch tho. Just a suggestion
Why don't you put Canada logo into the thumbnail like you use to do. Could grab more attention to the vid. You know anything that has that Red white Red grabs more attention lol
Hmmmm very true. I will do that. Thank you ❤️
100% agreed to all the points... But we Movee😀😀
Can u do a video about what u like and love about living in Canada plss🙏💛 and why people should move there💛💛
I have that video already -> ua-cam.com/video/UTr7xQwfYCo/v-deo.html
Let me know your thoughts in the comment when you watch it
@@WhizQueen i hope u have gotten ur car back
@@lisamark2426 no I did not. At this point, I think it’s gone for good. I’m saving up to buy another one hopefully soon
@@WhizQueen ok i hope u will get a new beautiful car hows Canada doing is it doing well and yes hows ur family?
Please come and worship with us at , C.C.C Emmanuel Parish Toronto if you live in GTA area, Thank you God Bless you,
nothing but undiluted facts, lots of coded racism and racial bias too......at the end of the day, u ask, has life been worth living, paying bills for the better part of the prime of your life....
Ahhhh yes.....move to Calgary they say! -36 degrees Celsius today HAHAHA.
Ohhh Noo! That’s insane. Toronto is just -5 degrees today and I don’t even wanna go out
It’s too expensive…end of story ‼️‼️
Major reason!! But there’s a lot more
😅, the first day i drove in toronto, see as i dey shake, emi agba driver, shebi na u wan live for lagos equivalent...dey play dey play just dey play😆😂
Why were you shaking
Lol just Dey play o
It’s crazy!!! Too many reckless drivers and that’s why insurance is very expensive because accident rate is very high
Their clothing is much higher.
Nice video
Hi whizqueen lots of love from india 🇮🇳♥️ your gorgeous and thanku for all the information 😇
My pleasure 😊
My Canadian mentor I am glad with your content
Move to Mexico or Portugal or Turkey.
The Lagos of Canada 😄
It’s too bad
At least Lagos is warm and has a natural vibrant and dynamic feeling. Not to mention Lagos is just emerging and quickly growing meaning the opportunities there are endless if you have the resources to invest.
Even with the current dip in cryptocurrency, I’m still glad I can smile 😊 back at my portfolio of $105,850 built from my weekly trade, I’m having my fourth withdrawal in 10 business days.
You are right 😊, just bought a house after invested $10,000 and am now making $30,000 every 14days. It's been a life changing experience.
My consultant is Richard_topestrade I found him in a business magazine where he was featured and reached out to him afterwards.
quite easy just send him a message on Te le gram ...
@Austine Macos If you can afford to take the risk, do everything you can to achieve financial independence as soon as possible. Thousands of people have done it.
too many Nigerians
Lmaoooo Nigerians are literally everywhere in the world
@Kaleina lifestyle. It is obvious Toronto has better infrastructures and lower crime than any third world country, but the city has no soul ,it is made up of different ethnic enclaves with no common purpose and shared sense of belonging to each other than just to make money.
