Thank you and welcome to Canada. You are a high value, educated woman. I enjoy your videos. Your perseverance is massive. Canadians are tough and resilient.

Canada isn't even a real country

I'm sorry you regret moving to my country. I can certainly sympathize. I was born and raised in Canada. My family has been Canadian for nearly 200 years. Still, I understand. We are hard people to get to know and also hard to understand---even for us Canadians, it can be difficult. What you said about the social connections is completely true. When you come to a new town, often the locals have been there for a very long time. There is a social structure and the people make you figure out how you are going to try to fit. They usually will do nothing to help you. They are not necessarily unfriendly, but they are not friendly either. On the other hand, there are cultural differences between Ontario and other provinces. Where I live, yes, the people are typically Canadian--they are taciturn people who mostly want to be left alone to go about their own business. But if you are in trouble, you need help, etc---they are right there to help you. They don't expect thanks or expect you to do something to pay them back. Helping other people is just part of day to day life. Many, many times I've had my countrymen help me with car problems on the road and so on. And every time, they 've helped me (and I've helped then, as well) and it's been no problem. These are things that set us apart from our American neighbours and other people; what gives us our own culture. I like to think of it this way. We Canadians have a sense of solitude about our lives. Yes, we have friends and spouses and families, but in some sense, each and every one of us is alone all the time; especially rural Canadians who live in the country or small towns. We have this relationship with nature and solitude. It's hard to explain in a youtube post. Our personal space is bigger. We speak quietly. And we almost never use a new person's name. It's a way to maintain distance. Anyhow, best of luck. I mean, you could always move south and join the Americans who talk louder, stand closer, and are so much more gregarious.

Nice video. But to have $70,000 in Calgary I have to have at least two jobs. {Unless $70,000 is taken as for a family. two people}. Canada has the biggest advantage over the USA in healthcare, but otherwise I think the USA is better. In the last two years, everything has become more expensive around Calgary, but the money per hour has remained the same. So I pay more, but I earn the same as 2 years ago.

Havac and. Refrigeration industry in alberta is doing well if you do commercial buildings, but stay away from restaurants. Hard to get paid and extremely demanding, and very undervalued, a lot of them. Don't appreciate what you do, but if you stay in commercial building, it's not too bad. The only thing that sucks is you have to work outside at the most inconvenient times

total deductions of income are not complete, in Canada at least. You just put the province or the federal %. This amount can easily double. Why put these at all? they mean nothing to no one. Put the real numbers plz or your whole video is pointless.

Better then living in a communist country. A.k.a the usa

I am an Electrical Technician and I've been looking for jobs in Canada, however I was graduated in Brazil and I still live here in Brazil.

Microsoft and Boeing are in Seattle that drives the salaries up

Companies will always do what is in their best interest. The employee must do the same.

Great and very helpful video. Learned a lot from it

Canada has more freedoms compared to the United States.

I’ve paid more in Canadian health care than I ever have in American health care (dual citizen). Don’t forget everything comes with a cost. You don’t pay here in Canada but you have to wait 1-3 years to see a doctor literally anywhere. You have the equivalent of opioid OD’s as people dying waiting in emergency rooms in BC.

Just to point out how different things can be... Our ex-employers where we were working when we retired provide a pension and mine pays for our Medigap insurance premiums. So with a Plan G Medigap policy (we get for free) our out-of-pocket medical expenses are almost zero. My wife and I both receive Social Security and private pensions plus we have from savings significant monthly investment income based on savings we accumulated via 401k (and similar) income-tax-free contributions during our working years. Does Canada have anything similar to our 401k plans with employer-matching funds system? All I can find is the TFSA system similar to the U.S. IRA and with a $7,000 limit.

I enjoy your videos as you are direct and factual. I do however take a larger pleasure in reading the comments that so called Canadians post. The government of Canada is not anyone's insurance policy for housing, food, or health. If you want to be a Canadian, you best come with a solid high in demand professional qualifications. As a Canadian, I have lived and worked in Sweden, Germany and the USA.

A living wage in Canada for a single person is $50,000 a year. This is a basic entry level requirement.

roddinbc is a liar.

I am one of the 200K that left Canada. I don't miss it. Americans aren't exactly great, but you definitely increase your standard of living here vs in Canada.

Your tax rates are way too low for the USA. My total income tax is 27%. 3% lower than in Canada.

The best advice .. don't come to Canada. Trudeau has broke this country.

If you want to bore to death than come and live in KW. The good lively cities are surrounding GTA. Kitchener small streets and tons if people compared to the infrastructure. Greedy municipality who increases taxes every year more than people can afford. And Kitchener downtown you don't want to go. If you want to live good cites than I would Markham and Mississauga.

2024. time codes, guys

Hi I have seen your video, itshelpfull to me Thank you, and the situation in Canada is it good now to move for purposr of work visa 💳

Canada cost of living is completely outrageous i dont see how anyone can survive there

Canada imports almost all our goods from the United States or elsewhere , even if we don’t import from the states,all other countries are pricing in US dollars, so a conversion rate still applies- the same TV in Canada costs 30 percent more than in the US. As a result, Canadian dollars don’t go as far - you should take this into account when comparing income - it’s a pretty big deal- at least apply a further 15 - 20 percent reduction to the income in Canada to try and account for it, than you would find Canadians underpaid in all cities than their American counterparts . Otherwise very well done 🎉

1. Buy house 2. Flip house 3. Repeat 1&2 4. Get real estate license 5. Market to oversea buyers 6. Airbnb 7. Rent to international students

Are you 2 of you a couple?

Hi, why did you move fro Russia to Canada? Be truthful thanks

You failed to mention that its not easy to get an apprenticeship for a trade like an electrician. That is the bottleneck that would prevent most students from becoming a electrician. I have thought about becoming an electrician myself, except this hurdle told me that its not just going to happen because I enrolled in a college program 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Dual citizen here. My property tax in a small town in Canada is almost $10,000/year. In Nevada, it’s under $1,000. I’ll gladly pay for private health insurance in the US.

Cost of living aside. I can't imagine anyone wanting to live in the U.S. in it's current state with unfettered gun use, violence, religious radicalism, and with conspiracy theorists about to run what's left of the country.

Canadian healthcare is useless. 20 years ago we built a modest house in Mexico. Living here six months a year gave us confidence in Mexico's GP's and surgeons. Our Canadian GP ignored my wife's pleas to have an appointment with the surgeon who did spine surgery two years prior. Something was wrong she just wanted to know why she was in so much pain. We even paid for an MRI but they refused to even look at the MRI. So we decided to have a neurosurgeon in Mexico consult us. The problem was scar tissue growth from the first surgery, that was pinching nerves . Problem 100% solved. A wheelchair ride into hospital and she walked out 24 hours later. A second example, was waiting for over a 18 months for a consultation then maybe another 8 months for a knee replacement. It was we will call you in around 8 months. So we did the same thing, and bought a new knee here in Mexico. A consultation after a week of arriving and 16 days later for the new knee. All in cost 10K cdn. No more back or knee pain. We only wished we had done it sooner. That's what you get for believing in Canada's healthcare. Viva Mexico!

Railroad maintenance can be a good field too between 80k and 100k depending in the hours

You fail to account for purchasing power when keeping everything in each nations currency. An easier way to visualize it by taking the currency discrepancy out of the equation would be to convert to euro for the purpose of comparison.

My son studied Forest Management at college. Nope.....no work.

KWC!!! My city 🏙️

Yeah this reminds me of how my family and the people i know fucked me out of my entire life but had the best intentions and meant well so its okay

You are assuming that the quality of goods and services are generally equal. That is not the case at all, especially with heath care. Canada's system is horrendous (Ive lived in both countries ) . You dont get what you pay for

Why does a millionaire have a mortgage? 😂

I never visit the sh-those to the south! A scum pit full of scum, morons and idiots!

Justin Trudeau destroyed it. He thinks climate is more important than putting food on the table. Why the country has fallen.

Thanks so much

High pay jobs???? 9 out of 10 dont even make it yo $90k the air traffic controller barely passes a $100k. These are all low pay, working poor level grade jobs. These assholes are full of shit as much as they dumb as shit.

I make $50.51 as a union Bricklayer

MDs couldn't help me with any symptoms or get appropriate tests that are available in the USA. The labs that can do tests in Canada are very limited. My health didn't improve by going to see Drs. It improved on a carnivore diet, doing natural detox with zeolite and going to a Naturopath Dr.

Seattle is NOT a cheap place to live lmao.. High cost of food, services, housing.. High sales tax in seattle.

Mais bien sûr, si quelqu’un décide de vivre dans un autre pays, ils doivent être prêt à s’adapter à sa culture.

Wow. The medical / doctor situation is horrific!

Most people don't realize, and it's not often included in cost surveys because of this, but USA has tax-assisted medical insurance. People just don't realize it until they need it/qualify for it (even though they are paying for it). It is a safety net for people who've fallen on hard times (unemployed/disabled/retired/semi-retired/really poor). poor, disabled, and unemployed medical care in America is subsidized by the state Medicaid programs. While disabled, or seeking disability, as long as you don't own a lot of things you could sell, your doctor visits will likely be free after you've filled out a LOT of paperwork... every 90 days or so. The amount covered and details about eligibility vary between states. For federal assistance on medical care for the poor and infirm is Medicare which covers 80-100% of all medical procedures/visits/medicines. These things aren't often accounted for when people compare United States healthcare costs against countries with "tax-assisted medical care." We have tax-assisted medical care also, and I have to say it's pretty good. The wait times are the same as anyone else here, I can generally see a doctor the same day I seek one out (even if it's not my pcp). Emergency rooms are required to take all comers whether they can pay or not by law, and emergency surgeries are almost never delayed. Even elective surgeries are quickly scheduled (I've had 3 back surgeries and they generally happened within a month of seeing the surgeon). All this is paid for by taxes on both the employee and employer.
