You’re totally right! Not just Canada as a whole, but Toronto itself doesn’t feel the same way it used to only just over the past 5-7 years. So much has changed. I’ll always respect where I came from, but China is the much more appealing option 🙏🏻🎉 I think you’re making a good choice too!
I had been in Toronto for 15 years till I moved to Quebec 3 years ago. We have multiple young kids so moving abroad is not really an option for now. I agree with your over all observation, although Quebec is much less impacted in some (just some) aspects compared to Ontario and BC. Also Canada being too close to the US led to quite some stupid political decisions which ended up shooting itself in the foot.
@@jinniwind Not just BC and Ontario, but Alberta is also bad. You are right about Canada being too close to the US making Canada losing its independence sovereignty and independence decision making, and Canada has no good leaders. I am so envious of those who leaving Canada to be able to move to China 🇨🇳
@@kameilong I am in Toronto, too. We now become the 2nd capital of India or the next Gotham where shooting , road rages, cars driving opposite direction, every single week. Every system is broken as every new comers get truck and G2 license thru bribery, and the government doest give a damn except cheap talks. Cities only care to increase property tax to build provide more shelters for refugees and not Canadians. Tim Horton becomes immigration agency where they only recruit international students, where we seen them bare foot and feeding customers w flys. And then these new comers trying to kill all our native salmons and some of them even poop on street or rivers. Ya, Canada is freaking F right now. Criminals dont give a damn either. Kidnapping at board day night at outdoor park lots. Our justice system is a joke where criminals get bailed out and repeating their acts over and over (stealing cars, drugs, robbery). Commit Crime -> Get Caught -> Get Bailed -> Repeat. It is a joke.
I guess if you are Chinese in canada , when you move back to China, you shouldn't say you are moving to China from Canada, it's kind of misleading because people may think you are not Chinese.
This park that you are walking through is absolutely beautiful. There is nothing like that in Toronto. Canada has become a haven for the third world looking to escape to a better place. Unfortunately, that has brought in homelessness, unemployment and crime. I want to retire in China if I could take my kids with me.

@@Glory-to-God. I don’t need to prove to strangers that I am Chinese, I think it would be apparent to anyone who meets me in person. In fact, it really doesn’t matter to me what visitors of a random comment think I am.
I grew up in Canada, been here 42 years? i can speak Cantonese at a low junior high level, can't read or write Chinese....and definitely can't speak Mandarin other than Nihao and Xiexie. I have thought about my future in Canada and it isn't bright. FYI, i have a Vietnamese friend who stumble onto a teaching job while traveling 2 years ago in Vietnam, and never looked back. My only concern is job and language if I even attempt to go to China. Really frustrated my parents never taught me Mandarin when they can also speak the language.
How about have a trip to China first and have a feel for it first. Most foreign English teachers don’t speak fluent Chinese anyway. Or you could target guangdong province where Cantonese is appreciated and frequently used (especially in smaller cities , not like shenzhen). Cantonese at junior high level is good enough to get by on a daily basis.
@@1.4billion65 lol, I have a traditional Chinese tiger mom, English wasn't even emphasized growing up, as if i don't need it for my future...and now i understand it pretty much why it's the same with Mandarin, wasn't seen as golden as Cantonese when Hong Kong was the financial centre...or maybe it's because my mother spoke Cantonese growing up. Also, I don't know a word of Fujianese, since this is my father's ancestry.
It's a kind of sarcastic that I had watched a video of a UA-camr Willene moved from China to Canada recently, and then I watch yours. For whatever reason people moving to another country, they are just looking for a better life and opportunities. You will probably get a job at your specialist as a graphic designer while China is developing so rapidly. Welcome to China and hope you have a great time here.
Good move bro. New environments and travelling always is not only mind-expanding, it’s also about personal growth. Life’s an adventure, and so many of us fall into the same old rut, living life like Groundhog Day, same old street, same old town for our whole lives. As for the content style, don’t sweat it, many people are more interested in seeing life in a different place from a first-person perspective because it places us in a different environment from our own day-to-day, and often many don’t have the means to travel, so placing oneself in different street/city/land-scapes is escapist.
Thank you! I totally agree with you on that view. I just can’t imagine life, staying in the same comfortable situation. There is so much value in different environments and learning different world views.
New sub here from Ontario. Love to see a closing video of your 1 month trip in China of Dali and Chongqing. Also u doing very well talking into the camera and walking at the same time. And remaining coherent with your delivery. Not an easy feat. Look forward to more content of your new life in China. Good luck!
Really, really appreciate the detailed feedback! Glad to hear that I still sound coherent. I worry about rambling too much. And I have decided I will be doing one more, final video to wrap up our one month adventure in China. It’s in the works currently 👌🏻
Wow. Thank you for sharing your life journey with all of your viewers! Congratulations! Looking forward to more videos from you. It is good have a set schedule. Best wishes to you in good life in China. Blessings!
Your first video I could tell you for sure were going to be going back to China I didn't expect you to get a job there so quick You and the girlfriend made the right choice the future is China
Haha really eh? What gave it away? Yeah everything happened so fast! And honestly I agree, the “centre” of the world is shifting from the US to China and Asia as a whole!
@@kameilong I was a expat living all over Asia when I was younger There was certain people you could tell were going to go from just “visiting that Asian country” to actively “living in that Asian country” If I was younger I would go live in China like you are right now
Welcome to China. Whatever you do with your channel - so long as you enjoy it, remain authentic and it's what YOU want to put out, it will be successful I'm sure.
We totally understand the schedule difficulties, no worries just post more after you meet with Lu and I really recommend you can start get some sponsorship 🎉
I was a freelance Art Director in Canada. Now I’m teaching English. In most cases, teaching English in China has a much better salary/cost of living situation than South Korea and Japan. I mention those two because they’re pretty popular choices amongst expat English teachers.
I think I have seen your girlfriend posted videos about you eating tons of food in different cities in China. Is that you? Your advantage is eating, so continue that and you’ll gain lots of followers.
That is possibly me! There’s a few interracial couples on Douyin who post food videos, but a lot of people say I’m the one who can eat the most. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing 😂😭
I was fascinated by canada's natural scenery. I really want to travel to canada, but when I was making a travel guide, I found some videos showing that there are many drug addicts and homeless people in Canada. Are there only a few cities with such problems? Is it okay to just avoid a few cities?
I would say that Canada has a pretty bad homelessness crisis all across the country. Especially in Vancouver and Toronto. In terms of natural scenery, you wouldn’t be missing out if you skipped Toronto. But Vancouver has some really beautiful, natural scenery. But there are parts of Vancouver with a lot of homelessness. Especially Chinatown area. It’s really sad to be honest.
here's the situation in america ... | A Century of Poverty ⛺• Ep 42 | Los Angeles, California [4K] | | California’s New Law in Effect? ⛺ • Ep 39 | Los Angeles, California [4K] | - youtube
now need $3000-4000 CAD to rent an apartment in Vancouver or Toronto. Insanely expensive. How could people be able to afford this staggering price? The only choice is to move out! I think in china u may only need to pay $5000-$6000 RMB for renting a flat. Life much easier!
Depends on the size, age and area of the apartment of course, but most of the people I know in Chengdu are only paying around 3000-3500 RMB a month for a two bedroom apartment! That will never, EVER happen in Toronto or Vancouver. Perhaps anywhere in Canada. The cost of living here alone really has me questioning if I’ll ever move back to Canada haha .
Nearly 100,000 people left Canada last year. Most from Ontario, where I’m from. Also, I know a lot of Chinese individuals moving back to China from Canada. I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say? 🤔
@@kameilong To a lot of Chinese Canada and the US are wonderlands. It is kind of odd to see people moving from the opposite direction. Thank you for the information.
@@MichaelWan-s3cNow less and less Chinese to Canada, 1st half of this year, only 13,000 while Indians 60,000+. Most Chinese come to Canada now are different as before. They're here with money, accompany children study bc fierce competition having high education.
Too many new immigrants moving to Canada in a such short period is not conducive to Canada but detrimental to Canada. We don't have the capacity to host so many people coming in at once. Most of these newcomers do not share our values.
Smart move! I live in Toronto and Canada is no longer the Canada of 20-year ago and it can't go back. I'll also move to China in a few years.
