Immigrants have started to Leave Canada in 2023 - WHY?

In this video, I am sharing top reasons on why Immigrants have started to Leave Canada and what are the main pain points that causes immigrants to leave canada.
Immigrants have started to leave Canada so much that - there was an article on a couple who said "We respect ourselves enough to leave this country"

I am Canadian, born and raised in southern Ontario. After living and working in China, Singapore, and Japan for a decade, I returned to Canada 2 years ago and found a country in which living a quality life is very difficult due to the very high cost of living. For me, there is only one option: to leave Canada and simply not to return. Any city in Canada to be surrounded by drug addicts, and people in a state of displacement, and to that, we add a large number of people with mental disorders on the streets, these are factors that in my opinion are social diseases that over time have become a social cancer.

Fifth reason: no health care. The big lie is that there is government provided health care. New arrivals and many Canadians have no primary care physician. Hospital emergency rooms are so crowded that people do not want to go to them because they are faced with 6 to 8 hour wait times. I now source my health care needs in either Chiang Mai, Thailand or Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Sixth reason: the schools do not teach children anymore, but merely indoctrinate them with the latest trendy woke values. If parents push back they are vilified as being racist or intolerant. It is sad to see Canada circling the drain.

All by design, my friend. I've been looking at Thailand and Malaysia, myself :) Just gotta convince the kids..

[@sebastienbolduc5654]

Millions of Canadians do not have a primary care physician and are on waiting lists up to ten years to get one. 20+ years ago you could pick your own GP and find one within a day. Maximum wait for a specialist was 2-3 months. Now it's 2-3 years. In some areas of Canada waiting room times are 20+ hours, one of the longest waiting times in the world for ERs. As a Canadian I have been seriously questioning on prepping myself to retire outside of Canada in 20 years from now. So I have the time to learn a new language and psychologically prepare myself for the move. It's not affordable to live here anymore and we no longer have a healthcare system, but we're still charged taxes up our rear ends! I'm tired of working for nothing.

There's something that should be mention here, though it is not the subject of this video, but somehow it is connected. Retirees are either going back to their original countries or as in the case of Canadians born, going on a permanent basis somewhere else. Not long ago retirees from here were expending the winters south of Canada and they were called "Snowbirds". Now we are increasingly becoming immigrants from a nation that was built on welcoming them. As soon as my wife (who was born in here) gets retired, this South American guy and his Canuck wife are leaving permanently. It is very sad to realize that Canada finally found a way of getting rid of "unproductive" folks whom have spent a life time building this country. Besides the winter, which is not fault of anybody, the cost of living and the high taxes on declining services are destroying this amazing country. A serious approach in politics is needed before Canada turns into another Antarctica. Greetings from Toronto.

The irony in this is that Canada is rich in natural resources, has more undeveloped land per person than anywhere else on Earth and it's vast arctic land will become a paradise when global warming arrives. There is so much oil in Canada that gasoline should be practically free like it is in Saudi Arabia. The lack of housing and jobs in Canada was all artificially created and maintained by woke delusionally disconnected to reality propaganda. Somehow Canadian voters are being manipulated into voting for people who hate Canada and work to destroy it. Change starts when people vote for representatives with no experience in your obviously corrupt government. Vote for people who will proudly convert a small fraction of your nature reserves surrounding big cities into apartment only developments. Vote for people who will frack for oil until gas prices come down to 50 cents a liter. If a coalition of one thousand native transgender feminists call you horrible names then simply ignore them. Tolerance doesn't mean everyone has to like each other or that the masses have to fall on a sword because some small group of fruit loop bigots won't stop a shouty temper tantrum until you do.

Most importantly the people I've met from there in Canada are very kind, happy, and stoic in general. Most people speak English as well. Secondly investing and starting a business there is phenomenal, their GDP grew over 6% in the first quarter, and the exchange rate is excellent. There is a bit to learn about how to do this there if this is your intent. 2 big things to consider are if you wish to start a business there without being a citizen you need 200k American in one of their banks and a Filipino business partner the net split has to be 40/60% favouring the partner. Citizenship is obtainable, but your son would have to renounce his Dubai citizenship. I met my fiancee there so these issues are not a hindrance. They have a good and affordable medical system IF you're close to a major city. The insurance is reasonable for a good program. I'm choosing to live outside of a major city for a few reasons. One, I like peace, clean air, and natural beauty. Two, most cities there are on the coast and subject to flooding. With global warming this will get worse. High ground is smart.

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 freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become the North Korea of 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’.

I think Canada’s immigration system is so broken. They have made very little efforts to consider immigrants who want to make efforts to live and work here but instead they just want to bring people in with the ‘hope’ that they would stay. What happens instead is, they take the passport and leave immediately after to work and live somewhere in Middle East.

At this point, the govt is just running a ponzi scheme - you come here, spend your savings (keeping some canadian businesses afloat) trying to find a job, get disappointed - either go back or drive a taxi. Govt invites more people to keep the scheme going. If by some miracle you get a job they tax you to hell. Not to mention the stupid govt schemes like supplying drugs is public funded but building affordable housing is made private sector responsibility.

Canada does NOT have the necessary manpower to run things.

Did any political figure mention any of it? No? Why NOT.

Many immigrants from Asia and Africa ended up in Turkey in the last 15 years. The current Turkish government holds them against their will (due to an agreement Erdogan signed with the EU). The situation in Turkey is a lot worse than anywhere else in the world. Just imagine trying to home over 15 million young uneducated male migrants against their will... The fact is that no country in the world can home so many people. It is simply crazy and undoable. I feel sorry for the immigrants who live in deplorable conditions in my country. Imagine sharing a 2 bedroom flat with 15 others and earning $3 to $5 a day! Turkey has been going through the worst economic crisis in history and this is affecting everyone in the country. Those who failed to make regular payments towards their loans, have already lost their homes. The extortionate rental prices are something those who are on minimum wage can't simply afford. Unfortunately, about 50% of the working population earn a minimum wage, which is only about $220 a month. The depreciation of Lira means higher inflation rates and further economic decline. In the last 10 years, Lira has lost value against every single currency on the planet, incl Afghan Afghani and Syrian Pound. If you want to witness modern day slavery, just visit Turkey.

The bed thing. Read Jack London's "People of the Abyss." The east end of London England, in 1904, at the height of the British empire. Working people who lived in rooming houses. Each room would have as many single beds as could be crammed in. Each bed was being paid for by four different workers. You had a 12 hour night sleep time, and a 12-hour day sleep time (for shift workers.) How did the other 2 workers fit in to this scheme? Sleeping under the bed. I kid you not. I've been aware since the 1970s, lots of Toronto area landlords treat immigrants like dirt. Overcharging for garbage. I really noticed this trend in a tidal wave of renovation of anything not an actual traditional apartment building (whose units cannot be enlarged or shrunk.) starting about 20 years ago. Not so with houses, and many other kinds of buildings, where a tradition large 2-bedroom apartment can be sliced and diced into two or even three different tiny units, whose rents add up to more than double what the rent of the original unit would have been. The joke is that Canada compared to a Third World country now? Is full of itself, thinking that the gap is so large. This has really ramped up since 2010. We have a zero population growth, and would be shrinking, but for immigration. Yet we expect immigrants to suck up bottom feeder jobs (supposedly the jobs that "Canadians" won't do.) We're crying for professionals. Professionals pour off planes, but are they being helped at all or fast-tracked into upgrading or just adapting into Canadian professional job positions? No. Go work in the fast food industry. My grandfather came here from Italy just before 1900. He did really well. Millions have come here since, and had the same experience. This no longer applies. Because the rules of the game have changed. Why? That's an interesting debate. Those who now have, want to keep, and do not want to share with new arrivals (except in ethnic communities who still have private helping resources.) Canada is no longer the "growth" economy it once was. (Are you listening, Dear Leader, over there in Ottawa?) And yes. I'm Canadian, born and bred. Immigration built this country, from the get-go. That should still be the case. But what we now have is a joke.

He just came from the immigration office on another floor where they told him the process. He wanted to go back that day. I think he couldn't find work, not sure.

Natural born and raised Canadian. I have been considering moving to another country and getting the fuck out of this once great country. However few things mildly hindering that. I am close with my parents and family for one. For two, i don't even really know where to begin, what country i would want to go to. I don't really have any particular skills that would get me a place in another country, like i'm not a doctor or anything. Took welding although never really got into that line of work. So yeah kind of at a loss, but this country is becoming far too expensive to live in. Doesn't help we have a wannabe dictator running and ruining our country. He also is a member of WEF and passes their bills and agendas which is causing life to be more difficult here too

[@rickneumann2126]

Well you should have finished welding I'm a journeyman welder I made 1million dollars every 3years welding so a person needs to finish a trade and work

[@orangelightening]

@@rickneumann2126 never heard of anyone making that much. Not saying you’re lying but that sounds very unheard of. If someone makes 100 an hour that’d be 200k a year but that involves insanely long hours out in the oil patch and such. I took 2 years of welding and I just decided it wasn’t for me and wasn’t interested in that line of work

[@littlestanhopellcltd5158]

Sadly, Canadians have very poor social skills so this makes it extremely difficult for newcomers to form new friendships…unfortunately it’s hard work if it’s one sided. It is also extremely isolating and though they are ‘nice’ it also makes them appear very cold. Pun intended!🤔🤔

[@isabellaa8875]

That and they lived in Canadian their whole lives, went to the same school with their friends, and don’t really want to add any one to their friend group unless is someone they know of in their mutual friendships. I had a hard time making friends in high school because of the amount of people not really open to making new friendship. So I just stay with my old friends

[@kayflip2233]

I immigrated to Canada and the best job I could get was paying only $100k CDN as a software engineer. Moved to the states 5 years ago and I am already making the equivalent of $700k CDN AND I pay LESS on housing to live just 1 hour outside of NYC in NJ. There's no place like the USA where the streets are truly paved with gold.

[@mohammedharazi3504]

your talk is true this should know all imgs these facts thanks

[@NishadBrahmbhatt]

I agree on your point when we did better job in past and after having 10 to 15 years of experience ,we have been called for skilled work and companies offering very basic jobs means felt like cheated . Immigrants are with families so for their daily income they have to start but every immigrants are feeling cheated . IT background people normally have done USA based projects in their job but still companies in canada don't give answer . really bad condition.locals in rural part still don't support you as outsiders

[@proud2318]

Hi I'm sure the folks who chose to immigrate did their homework? Is that not the case ?

[@NishadBrahmbhatt]

@@proud2318 yes who were free and had time to be prepared for exactly what they think and will that happen,will definitely clear before coming. 😄

[@yahussain1272]

The problem is people want to live in the big city, give up when the cost is high and then move out of the country, how about move out of the city to a more affordable location, the population in big cities are so high that the cities are forced to raise prices, we cant complain if we all just start shoving ourselves into the big cities, how much can a big city accommodate? You wanna live in the big city, then pay the price, I live in London UK and people are escaping the UK not realizing if they just move out of London they wouldnt have to move out of the country and live a decent affordable lifestyle

[@easy_sheetmusic_play_along3523]

Dont encourage people to move to smaller towns in Canada, because then nothing will be affordable. There are too many immigrants. That is why housing is so expensive.

[@yahussain1272]

@@easy_sheetmusic_play_along3523people moving to smaller cities isnt the problem, thats part of the solution, another solution is to make immigration laws strict and restrict the entry of immigrants

[@rayraymond3062]

Thanks for the vidéo but how many immigrants are leaving and how many are coming each year ?

[@annfoster6116]

Canadz was beautiful in the 70s 80s and 90s - too many people now and not enough housing and jobs to go around !

[@talkingdentalinnovation681]

A big issue for immigrants that move to Canada is that they dont want to move to areas with less population density. Move to provinces that have a lower cost of living. Stop saying there are no jobs....BS....they are jobs everywhere. Living in a large Canadian city is a luxury.

[@svc2461]

Have you seen the job descriptions and breakup of these employment opportunities? Have you heard of underemployment? Have you heard of racism in smaller towns and why immigrants like to live with their communities? You are oversimplifying the problem. Encourage you to read more, learn more about issues people are genuinely facing making it impossible to live in Canada or even leave for that matter. It's depressing to say the least.

[@talkingdentalinnovation681]

@svc2461 these are all excuses. There is a solution for every single problem you just stated. We have people from every single background that have thrive everywhere in the Maritimes provinces for example! Living a healthier slower pace of life. And offering a saffer environent for their children!

[@westerlywinds5684]

When the very first immigrants came to Canada, they faced more challenges than today’s immigrants. There was nothing but trees. They started somewhere. I remember Kelowna being a hick town among rolling hills and a lake.

[@vncstudio]

@@westerlywinds5684 Agreed. I live in a rural area and can see traces of its history. It is still fairly rugged interspersed with farms. A very peaceful place to live though.

[@whathandleUtalkabt]

Yeah because all their other immigrNt family members that came here the last 30 tears are all in mississauga and Brampton. They don't spread out just cluster .

[@PWingert1966]

Sharing a bed with only one other person? I just heard of some students hot bunking three to a bunk and four twin bunks beds to a room for $2,000 a month. They each get the bunk for 48hours a day! with one slot for float. Most immigrants get minimum wage jobs in temp agencies working low quality jobs that are only temporary and can never get full time jobs.

[@simplej7409]

I really appreciate the ppl leaving Canada instead of living with a low face value.

trudeau has put the bar to high .even before his invitations to the world to come to canada ,we were experiencing difficulties with health care ,schooling ,apartments availability and services..canada is not the promised land .harsh long winters , high cost of living ,expensive taxes , working permits and conditions....lack of doctors ,nurses ,...etc.canada has changed not for the better .

i live in Canada and it sucks bigtime

[@iluvIND]

I came here in late 2000's. It was even worse back then, in terms of jobs. I am not sure why is this a breaking news in 2023. Foreign experience is recognized in areas like IT more so than ever before and some trades (cooks, truck drivers). In other cases it can't and people need to re-qualify for good measure for reserved professions like doctors, lawyers and mental health professionals. I have experienced sub-standard care my medical professionals in south-asian countries so I know the bar is really low. What would be a good approach is to stream like access to qualifying for these jobs here. You know what it is difficult for people to get jobs with Canadian Education as well. That is the main factor.
