Thank you for a lovely video, and good luck in your new life. For me…..flew from Canada and spent a total of six months in Thailand and Cambodia. Found a delightful little place to live comfortably in Cambodia with my retirement pensions income. Leaving Canada again in spring 2025. Won’t be back. Take care….🙂🌴🌴🌴✈️🇰🇭🇹🇭🇨🇦☸️
Your restaurant was amazing, I remember it everytime we came to Toronto for a visit it was on our list. I've lived in Ontario most of my life too but I'm originally from the UK... I'm leaving Canada as well for the UK because of many of the reasons you outlined. It's kind of devestating, but at the same time there are so many others who are doing just this. It's felt dead here for a long time... it's not the Toronto of the 1990s... or 2000s. I went to school at Humber and York and they some of the best years of my life, now it feels like it's a shell. Good luck to you both on your journey
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experiences. It's always a pleasure to hear from someone who enjoyed our restaurant, and we're deeply touched that it was a part of your visits to Toronto. It sounds like you have a rich history in Ontario, and we can certainly relate to the mix of emotions that come with making such a big change. The evolving nature of cities and communities can indeed feel bittersweet. It's reassuring to know we're not alone in making these life transitions. We wish you all the best as you return to the UK and hope that this next chapter brings you joy and fulfillment. Keep cherishing those wonderful memories from Humber and York, and here's to creating new ones ahead. Good luck on your journey as well!
I don’t have the same success story as you but thinking of leaving Toronto too. I completely understand when you said you don’t feel connected to the city anymore and the materialistic side of North America, the rat race.. definitely a shared feeling.
A failed drama teacher as PM, a journalist as finance minister, a radical criminal activist as environment minister, a mistress as foreign minister. A transport minister who has been convicted 3 X for drinking and driving. Last but not least, an alliance formed with another party, whose leader (Jagmeet Singh) supports terrorism against a friend and strategic ally. What could possibly go wrong?
Thank you for the great video. I’ve had the exact experience as you. I came here from Iran when I was a teenager and now after 20 years of venturing in real estate and restaurant business, I’ve decided to move to Japan. Canada is not worth the price tag anymore. Specially since Covid and how it turned the restaurant world upside down and inside out. Best of luck in your new life and never second question your decision. As we say in Farsi, there is no color darker than black and black is Canada nowadays.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your journey with us. It’s truly inspiring to hear about your ventures and the bold decision to move to Japan seeking new opportunities. The challenges post-Covid have reshaped many industries, including the restaurant business, leading many to reevaluate their paths. Your move is a brave step into a new chapter. Best of luck in Japan-may it bring you success and happiness. Keep us posted on your new adventures!
I have already taken a leap into the unknown by moving from Algeria to Canada this Summer and i agree it’s a tough journey but as you said I am facing a big challenge now and I hope to get through it safe ,sound and strong
In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no culture, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, only modern slavery, worst healthcare system, unbearable political correctness, crime infested/drug infested, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become a North Korea style dictatorship in the western world. Their are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.
Thank you for sharing your personal experiences and insights. It’s really valuable to hear different perspectives on life in various countries. I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you faced in Canada, but it’s inspiring to see how you turned a difficult situation into a new beginning in the U.S. and later in the Philippines. It’s heartening to know that you’ve found happiness and contentment in your current home. Your journey highlights the importance of finding a place where we feel most at peace. Wishing you continued happiness and success in Southeast Asia!
I have said it for years, diversity is overrated. It is nice to learn from others yes, but it comes at a cost. Different religions, culture's, languages can cause a lot of tension.
Most people that say they are leaving Canada 🇨🇦 were not even born in Canada. They dont know what they want. Most Canadians have family in Canada. Canada is there home. I am sure Canada is better then were they came from. All countrys are getting worse not just Canada. It sounds like most people expect too much. You have to work for what you get.😮
@@LBS-qw8gf Thank you for sharing your perspective. I understand that Canada is home to many and holds a special place in people's hearts. However, everyone's experiences are unique. Whether born here or elsewhere, some individuals face challenges that lead them to consider moving elsewhere. While it's true that all countries have their issues, people make decisions based on what they believe is best for their lives and families. It's not necessarily about expecting too much, but about finding a place where they feel they can thrive and contribute meaningfully. I appreciate your thoughts and hope we can continue this conversation with mutual respect.
Congratulations! Been there done that. You won’t regret it and best wishes for your new endeavors! I am also blessed to have made friends with many Persians while in there. I love your warm hospitality and rich, genuine culture as opposed to the fake niceties of North America.
Thanks a lot! It’s great to hear from someone who’s also embraced the move. I completely agree about the warmth and richness of the cultures here-it's a breath of fresh air. Here’s to embracing genuine connections and new adventures. Cheers!
Glad that you got out while you still could, Canada is circling the drain. I'm leaving wokeness, deceit, ridiculous taxes, debauchery and communism behind too!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's a big step to make such a move, and it seems like you have your reasons as well. Wishing you all the best on your journey ahead. Let's hope for brighter futures wherever we find ourselves. 🌟
Thanks for your question! Moving to a European country after having Canadian citizenship can be an exciting but complex process, depending on the country and your situation. For work-related immigration, most European countries require you to have a job offer from an employer in that country. Some countries, like Germany and the Netherlands, have programs specifically aimed at attracting skilled workers, while others offer options like the EU Blue Card, which is similar to a work visa for highly qualified professionals. If you’re looking to move to Spain or Italy, for example, there are some interesting visa options for remote workers or digital nomads. Spain has introduced the Digital Nomad Visa, which is perfect for remote workers who want to live and work in the country while being employed by a company outside of Spain. Italy also offers a Digital Nomad Visa aimed at non-EU citizens who work remotely, providing a great opportunity for those in the digital or freelance fields. In addition to these, both countries offer traditional visa options like the work visa, non-lucrative visa (Spain), or the Golden Visa if you invest in property over a certain amount (like €500,000). Each country has its own rules, and being a Canadian citizen can help in terms of visa agreements and travel flexibility, but you’ll still need to meet the work or residency requirements. I recommend researching the specific country you’re interested in and possibly consulting with an immigration expert to get tailored advice based on your skills, qualifications, and goals. Good luck with your plans!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! We’re excited about this new chapter and appreciate the good wishes. It’s heartwarming to know that our decision resonates with others. Take care and cheers to new beginnings and adventures. Goodbye, and thank you again for being a part of our journey.
We left canada early 2023.. and moved to the philippines. We are soo much freer and happier here. Wish you all the luck. ❤️❤️
We left in 2022. Never looked back since. No regrets ❤
I move back to a Philippines 🇵🇭 2022 I’m more happy here . I only visit Canada when it’s summer time

Interesting. I look forward to seeing how it has gone for you guys and how it is to build a new life there and this whole process all from scratch.
This video made me smile so much! so happy to see you two happy 🫀

@@kristinebailey6554 Multiculturalism is like salt. A little on your meal is ok. But if you dump the entire salt shaker on your food it ruins it.
Um I didn’t realize Canadian and Filipino cultures were same 😂
excellent
So happy for you. I'm jealous 😜 bless you guys; you worked hard & deserve to be happy.
