We left Canada 2021 for Mexico and life could not be better. We are much happier healthier, we get out everyday and do things. You do not have to spend money to enjoy life here. Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽💖
Before Trudeau, with Harper, we had the richest middle class in the world! Look it up 2014 NY times article. Cbc was promised billions of our money by trudeau and tricked us into voting for him
Where do people get their stats??? Everyone say the Canadian average income is $59000 a year....it is not!!! The average income is $39000!!!! Dont belive me, look it up on any financial site that is not a Government of Canada website ....need more proof, start asking people what they make in a year!!!!! The loes will become very clear very fast!
It's amazing to me that people believe everything their mafia gov't tells them. I left Canada in 2011 not knowing it was going to turn communist. I wasn't awake back then. sigh
Exactly! I was BORN in Canada and have LIVED and WORKED in CANADA my ENTIRE life. If you want to live elsewhere, please do. We have bigger problems than who wants to live here.
$39k is about right or may be even less. Those making $59k are on the higher end of the spectrum and don't forget you get tax for almost half of your earnings each year. This is a very high tax country.
My late Father was a Dual US Citizen/ Canadian Subject... I always thought that Canada might be a Retirement Destination. Not anymore. About half of my Canadian Cousins are Retiring to the Philippines, Belize, Costa Rica & the Caribbean. I Retire the end of August 2024. By Mid-October, I'll be in Cebu City, PH for a Six Month Vacation & scouting trip. I have Filipino Relations to visit in the Provinces after I get my bearings.
@jnroscoedesroches7382 people like you destroyed canada. Yet you lash out at the people who are fleeing the mess you made. When she said she was leaving because of the people that is really the number one reason.
We are thinking of checking out that area when we fully retire, right now we are living in Mexico and love it. We want to explore more options. Best of luck friend.
wait till your incompetent fan of white nationalists and the rest of the gang get their paws on our country. You are so lucky you didn't have a conservative government when the pandemic hit.
I was born and raised in Winnipeg, moved to downtown Toronto and am now leaving to move to Nigeria where my family is from while working remotely. Canada is turning into a shithole, sad for the people who will be stuck there.
Thanks for sharing your journey and thoughts. Moving across the world and reconnecting with your roots while working remotely sounds like an exciting new chapter for you. It’s always challenging to see changes in a place you’ve called home that don’t align with your expectations or experiences. Best of luck with your move to Nigeria, and I hope it brings you new opportunities and happiness!
Everything you say about this subject is 100% correct, and I could not agree with you more. I came to Canada as a child in 1970. It was an entirely different place then. Now, it's a total disaster due to things you mention.
Thanks so much for sharing your perspective! It’s really interesting to hear how much things have changed since you arrived in Canada. Changes over time can be quite significant, and it sounds like your experiences have given you a unique insight into the transformations that have taken place. I appreciate you taking the time to engage with the discussion and add to the conversation!
This is happening all over the country,i myself am in a situation where i cannot leave but I have 8 more years left and I’ll do the same.The taxes,opportunities and depreciation of the democratic system are my reasons.
We moved from Barrie to South Carolina in May, my wife is American and wanted to be with her family. The cost of living in Canada is crazy, gas is expensive, renting is expensive and even buying a new home. I bought my house for 289k pre Covid era and during that time it went up to 600k. A nice home with good property in SC is roughly 170-200k American, which normally comes with mostly everything updated and land. Our previous home was a linked townhouse.. you can’t get anything in Ontario for cheap unless you wish to move too Thunderbay and by cheap I mean a dump that needs to be totally updated. It’s sad because I love my country but the leaders are greedy and don’t care about the people. Liberals have ruined Canada and unless things change I’ll never go back. Weather was never a factor for me as it’s actually not nearly as cold as it has been, it just feels like there isn’t much of a spring or fall anymore.
South Carolina is a rural state with low incomes and lousy education. Of course it is cheaper to live there than in most of Canada. We have a higher standard of living, better government services (health care!).
I agree with everything that you said. ironically, I'm also moving to the SC area. The company that recruited me, has an office in SC and Georgia. I opted for the office in Georgia. The pay is very very good, doubled the income of my oil and gas engineering job.
Hey Mai, what's your impression of Nha Trang? I just returned to Canada after 3 months of Da Nang and Hoi An, I really like it there and will be returning next winter.
Hey! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time in Da Nang and Hoi An. Those places are truly magical. As for Nha Trang, my family and I loved it.. It’s calmer and more relaxed. However, we needed to find a city with more programs for kids, so we moved closer to Da Nang. We absolutely adore the food and culture here. My husband is Vietnamese, which has made settling in much easier. We’re not sure when we’ll return to Canada.
Canada is totally overrated by the canadian government imigration propaganda. It has been trapping naive people all around the world. It could be called SCAMNADA. Basicly the whole canadian population live very close the US border due the miserable freezing endeless drepressing 9 months cold weather. Nobody wants go north. Freezing weather makes life unbearable and extremely expensive. Come to Canada to live paycheck to paycheck, poor, cold and depressed.
I haven’t traveled to those countries yet, but I plan to go in 2025. This year, my family and I need a break from traveling so much. We’re in Vietnam right now because my husband speaks Vietnamese, which makes it easier for us to get things done.
The favour you are doing for the Canadians who stay in Canada is that you represent more people leaving and you are warning economic immigrants not to come. Too many are coming here.
Yep you think so.? Are you going to be the last to bail? Nah turdo is going to be the last He can pay taxes with money he misappropriated through his scandals
It would take 10 year for immigrants to learn what liberals are up to. Not no more even necessary from. Ukraine had enough of turddo and leaving canada
English speaking white guy here but the reason I left was government overreach. It is a more freedom here in the Philippines. Love this place. Never go back.
Yes and the cost of living is better here as well , I moved to the Philippines in the province 7 months ago. We built a house and live very well off my pension, no plans to go back.
l came to Canada in 2016, never thought l would think about to leave and go back to my home country, Vietnam. For whatever you said, all true… l talked to many Canadian seniors, they are miserable and hopeless with their pensions, feel so so sad for them. l don’t want my senior life in Canada like them.
Next video up…Extreme heat in Southeast Asia leads to school closures and health warnings for millions DW News I’ll enjoy the winters and variety of seasons. Easy to forget what you were born into and complain about it. It’s become a popular pastime in Canada but flip it around and ask yourself how many people from “Asia” have the freedom that you have had? I love to travel but also love and appreciate that it’s easier because I was born in Canada.
Yup I’m in the Philippines now with my wife visiting family and yesterday 20 people in the town over died of heat stroke it was 48 on the heat index not to mention the roaming brown outs and no water. These people complaining were only in Canada for the free and easy life that our ancestors made and now things get a little tough they turn tail and run they never had any intention of truly being Canadian and don’t realize that Canada has been shaped the way it is by them the last 30 years. Watch when things get better how many will run back.
It's understandable that your reasons for moving to Canada are tied to family, but it's also important to prioritize your own happiness and well-being. If you're looking forward to the prospect of moving out someday, it's worth exploring options and resources to make that transition smoother. Whether it's through watching my videos for insights or joining our community for support, there are resources available to help you navigate this journey. Wishing you all the best as you plan for your future! FB Community: facebook.com/groups/abundantaestheticlife.community/
We are using tax payer money to support Honda Canada? Why? If electric vehicles was viable, like all business, they put their money and take the risks, not the people of Canada subsidizing corporations
Your tax dollars are going to things far worse than that to be honest. Tho that is also not a good investment. They are doing this because they are trying to make driving unaffordable for Canadians and only allow the wealthy to drive. They are destroying Canada and the middle class entirely.
Haha, If I could, I’d take all of you with me. However, I will visually take you along through my RU-vid channel, so make sure you’re subscribed to join in on all the adventures!
Our family is also leaving Canada. The Reasons: High taxes. No doctor. Insufficient Health Care. High Food Costs. High Housing Costs, a two bedroom in Halifax $3-4,000 per month. The weather su*cks and High Crime in this city.
Yep, I agree with these points and I am also looking to leaving this place myself- the question is how though? The traditional methods of moving to another country are; finding someone to marry, a job, starting a business with a ton of money or education. Which of which definitely will cost a lot of money- maybe perhaps the spouse method wouldn't be as such.
I agree with you 100% young lady. I am a male 58 years old and preparing to retire somewhere warm, maybe in the Caribbean or Mexico where it is cheaper. Good luck with your new adventure, you have made the right choice to leave Canada while you’re still young.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and plans! Retiring somewhere warm like the Caribbean or Mexico sounds absolutely wonderful. It's great to hear from someone who understands the allure of new adventures, especially in a beautiful setting. Best of luck with your retirement plans, and I appreciate your encouragement! Here's to new beginnings and enjoying every moment.
i know a chap that left canada for Belize. he talked about how great it was, why would we stay here, the weather and lifestyle were way better. he was there 5 or 6 years but is back in canada now. needs hip surgery. always a bad place to live until you need something
Good luck to you! I enjoy the clean air and space. Asia probably has the worst air and congestion? Maybe one day you will regret your decision? I hope things work out for you!!!
I moved to Moscow and have no regrets. So much to do and visit, more focused on work life balance where people enjoy activities. There are good public health and education structures, it is clean and safe even in those times. People are very welcoming, cultured and generous. I love the mix of European and oriental cultures and the mix of history and modernity.
Moscow? In Russia? You ENJOY living in a war economy under heavy sanctions, ruled by a corrupt, bloodthirsty dictator? You don't mind the lack of freedom,the low living standards, the bitter cold winters? And exactly what kind of "oriental" culture do you find in Moscow? Do you mean Russian culture is "oriental"? What nonsense! Give my regards to Putin, remember me to Red Square. I don't believe a word of what you've written.
@@LeeZaslofsky Yes, Moscow in Russia. The heavy sanctions are caused by some western countries but thanks to the resilience, hard work and creativity of Russians, those sanctions are having a low impact on our daily lives. Russia is actually becoming stronger in some sectors as they have to develop their own technology, similar to the time of the Soviet Union. Also, the support from other countries in the world is at its strongest level since USSR. You are focusing only on the political side. And since you mention it, my vision is that Mr. Putin is defending the interests of its nation and country. Russia is a country with a very rich history and culture, with amazing people and has so many different ethnicities. That is why Russian people are so welcoming, truthful and are not judging others. I don’t really feel any lack of freedom in my daily life, actually I feel more free than when I was living in Canada where there are so many strict laws and where the politically correct is censoring people’s speech in a one way thinking. The living standards and quality is above Toronto when it comes to what you can do with your money (better and cheaper restaurants, more activities, cleaner streets, more modern and the city is alive). Winters in Moscow are similar to temperatures in Montreal. The oriental culture I find in Moscow is the mix of people from Siberia, Central Asia, and Caucuses.
I studied Russian History for my Master's Degree. I can rad Russian and I am very familiar with Russian culture and Soviet history. Most of what you have written here is either a big pile of bullshit, or evidence of your inability to perceive reality. Putin is trying to destroy the Ukrainian people and their independent nation. He is using some of the most barbaric tactics ever seen. Putin is a ruthless dictator, and so corrupt that his fortune is estimated in the tens of billions of dollars -- money that belongs to the Russian people. He has been the boss of Russia for decades, the result of rigged elections, suppression of opposition, and, all too often, assassination of those who speak the truth about him and his corrupt regime. His treatment of Mr. Navalny is pure Stalinism. Navalny's crime? Daring to speak the truth about Putin. The rest of your bullshit is nothing but right wing fascist propaganda, complaining about Canada's "strict rules" while you live under one of the world's most repressive regimes. How long will you wait before you volunteer to serve in Putin's army? Why are you not already in uniform, fighting in Ukraine? Russia has made itself a pariah among nations. Putin has an arrest warrant out for him in most countries in the world. He is accused of war crimes, deliberate targeting of civilians, torture and mass murder, kidnapping Ukrainian children, aggression against a peaceful neighbour. "Political correctness"? Putin's political correctness is enforced by harsh laws against "promoting homosexuality", using the word "war" to describe what is going on in Ukraine, and arresting anyone who dares to protest at the perversion of Russian ideals by the Putin regime.
@@LeeZaslofsky This channel is not the place for hate and politics but your comment is the proof that having a master degree doesn’t mean being smart. Did you learn history of Russia in Russia or at the university of Toronto? Your political visions are interfering with your ability to open your mind and learn the other side of the story. It is never comfortable to learn.
@@TheMagache Yes. Usually they expect it for no compensation. That's why many jobs are "salaried". Have to negotiate a contract with a standard 37.5 to 40 hour week with the rest as PAID overtime. That's what I do.
True all you said. People are not open and no one talk to each other whereas Canada says all are united which is incorrect this is my over 35 years living here in Canada.
It's disappointing to hear about your experience with lack of openness and communication despite Canada's reputation for unity. Building genuine connections and fostering open dialogue within communities is essential for fostering a sense of unity and belonging. Your perspective highlights the importance of ongoing efforts to bridge divides and cultivate meaningful relationships. Thank you for sharing your insights from over 35 years of living in Canada.
I started going to the Philippines last winter and i will never spend another winter in Canada. I am to young to retire and i make very good money here so i liquidate everything and i work 5 months and then i am gone to the Philippines.
Canada works for me. It’s way more than just Vancouver and Toronto. I’d never live in either of those two places. I’ve never had any complaints about Canadian healthcare, and I’ve had to use it for serious things over the years. Good idea for you to leave and experience other parts of the world if you aren’t happy with Canada. Maybe experiencing more of the world will give you a greater appreciation of what Canada has to offer.
Living around the world would definitely give more perspective as to what you can afford with your abilities. If she can find a place that matches her desires, more power to her.
@markreynolds5363 Haha can't fix stupid in you Liberal voters 🤣 😂 love you Liberal voters like you will be mad when Pierre wins a huge majority government 😉.
Absolutely, go for it! If moving to the Philippines is calling to you, it could be a wonderful adventure and a beautiful place to experience a new way of life. It's all about taking those steps towards what you feel drawn to. If you need any tips or help planning, feel free to ask. I’m here to support your journey!
My wife is from philipnes. She was in canada for seven yrs. She went back for a month last summer. She didnt like it. She claimed crime was way up from when she lived there before. She from bongabon luzon province.
Maintaining dual citizenship is indeed an option for many people, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of both countries. It’s a personal decision that depends on various factors, including residency requirements, tax implications, and individual circumstances.
Yet another Millennial or Gen Y finally moving out of her parents basement, and one thing we know for sure she will be keeping her Canadian passport.......
I had a heart scare while doing a treadmill ECG, The specialist asked a bunch of "How are you feeling?, does it hurt?, are you dizzy/light headed?" it wasn't quite frantic. I guess the cardio rhythm graph they were looking at turned into something that looked like Beyoncé's "Texas Holdem" sheet music. Because I wasn't actually having a "Jammer" I got dressed and was told that There would be 2 more imaging procedures. This was labelled with "PRIORITY" on it and it still took more than 2 months for the imaging. It took over a month to get a follow-up phone appointment. The phone appointment was probably with her using one of those crappy headsets that always cut out. So anyway, I still don't know about any dietary concerns (not mentioned... so deep-fried bacon is okay I guess). I actually asked if I should alter my exercise routine and the answer was something Trudeau or Freeland might have said... Full but nonsensical sentences. So yeah, Health care is more like Health couldn't Care less.
Agree with most points whole-heartedly, however, unless you are rich you probably don't want to rely on insurance. Insurance is all good, until its time to pay, then there's a reason it doesn't qualify, or something you did or didn't do that results in them not paying. Anytime I've needed a payout for any insurance it has always been a battle, the profit motive is best left out of healthcare in my opinion.
You make a valid point about the complexities and challenges often associated with insurance, especially in the realm of healthcare. It can indeed be frustrating when coverage falls short or disputes arise during times of need. Your perspective underscores the importance of critically examining the role of profit motives in healthcare systems. Thank you for sharing your insights.
Healthcare is definitely a major factor for many people when considering their quality of life. It’s important to have access to reliable and effective healthcare services. Your perspective really highlights the challenges that can come with healthcare systems and the impact they have on individuals.
Lmao wtf does this have to do with any reasons she said about leaving the country. Stop projecting your own dating experiences onto other ppl, comes off as being pathetic
My wife and I are also leaving for Asia this year. The cost of living as we near retirement is scary. It is impossible to live here on a fixed income with prices for necessities increasing so quickly. There are ways to deal with these issues, but the government refuses to acknowledge the problems let alone to do any thing about it.
I have been thinking of moving to Asia too. I am a first generation immigrant and have been living in Canada for 23 years, longer than I have in my country of birth. As a new family with child, we make decent household income, while not super wealthy we are well off. However, what I do find is that the taxes are so high (between income tax, GST/HST, and property tax) that I am unable to save much of what I make. Now with a child, I am dreading the public school experience as it has become very bad and kids don't really learn much.
It sounds like you're at a crossroads, weighing the pros and cons of life in Canada and considering a move to Asia. Taxes and the quality of education are important factors in deciding where to settle down, especially when raising a family.

i feel you 1000% as a canadian is true we seams not open, life is harsh, loot time on our own , so worries to make our life work, outsider is a threat to our happiness, canada is my only home, sometime i would like to have some place else to explore and feel safe and loved.
You are so wrong about the healthcare. It is way more safe to finance some difficult medical issues via taxes than from your own pocked. My father in law had cancer. He had several operation and he took lots of medicine. He was not able to buy those from his small pension. As long as you are young and healthy you think this tax is money thrown out of the window, but as you are getting older you will see that this is really mandatory.
Yeah, 60k gross/3400 per month net. $2500 rent and utilities alone so how am I supposed to pay for the rest, where is the phone, food, and god forbid eating once in a while out of your house. Plus it took me forever to get this job.
It’s tough when housing costs consume such a large portion of your income, leaving little room for other expenses. Finding affordable housing can be a significant challenge, especially in cities like Vancouver where the cost of living is high. It’s important to prioritize essentials like food and utilities while also exploring ways to potentially increase income or reduce expenses. Seeking out additional support or resources in your community could also be beneficial. Joining a community can provide valuable resources and support to navigate through financial challenges like housing costs. Together, we can share resources and find ways to make ends meet more comfortably. Facebook community: facebook.com/groups/abundantaestheticlife.community/
Canada was built by hard-working people with integrity and compassion. They came from all over the world every country imaginable. But were all united in a vision of a great place to live, and to raise their children. The current government which will have been in power eight years has totally ruined that legacy catering to every special interest group that says you owe me money solely to stay in power. The other factor-is that current generations have no commitment to Canada. Oh yeah, they’ll take the university education,, the safety of our streets. The freedom of speech but the reality is when things get tough they’ll come running back Canada and the boring weather The single biggest reason for bankruptcies in the US both personal and business is healthcare costs It is a bit of a fantasy thinking to think that a private healthcare systems can solve health problems. Just ask the millions of Americans that have lost their homes their businesses due to healthcare cost had and have applied to immigrate to Canada because they can’t take care of their families And again when things get tough, people come running back. I Kinda hypocritically
There's pros and cons no matter where you go on this planet. There is no such thing as a Utopia. You can come close, but there are always trade offs. Better weather can be had by moving to someplace closer to the equator, but then there's other downsides you have to get used to. A simple example would be if you moved to Mexico. There you would be regarded as a "Gringo". The locals don't like outsiders and the business owners will charge you more to make purchases than they would a local. Sad but true. Bigotry is everywhere. Also, in the southern climates you have to deal with BIG BUGS...spiders, scorpions, poisonous snakes. Traveling is one thing, but selecting a permanent place to live isn't so easy. Yes, there's a lot of crud going on in Canada what with high inflation, taxes up the wazoo, housing and food crisis, all which you can blame on the corrupt Liberal government. However, I'd rather stick it out here and try to help change things in my own limited way than to move to a country that isn't a "democracy" and, not knowing the laws there, wind up in a jail cell because some corrupt cop plants contraband drugs on my person or car then proceeds to charge me for possession. That kind of crap goes on as well.
Singapore is definitely known for its great weather, not to mention its vibrant city life and lush green spaces! It’s a major hub in Asia that offers a unique mix of modern conveniences and rich cultural experiences. If you’re considering a move, it could be a fantastic choice. Have you visited Singapore before, or would this be your first time exploring the city?
I have lived in Canada for 46 years, and agree with everything you said, and more. I think the average income of Canadians is much lower though actually.
I know it's hard living in Canada - BMW's are expensive, who would want to live in a modest 2,000 sq. ft. home, growing your own food is degrading, and the prestigous country club isn't accepting new members!
I see a lot of these videos but is it possible for an average 9-5 worker to pack up and go? I assume you either need to be an entrepreneur or have a large savings and retire early
Absolutely, it’s possible for an average 9-5 worker to make a change and explore new opportunities. While entrepreneurship and significant savings can certainly facilitate the transition, mindset plays a crucial role in paving the way for change. Join our community and staying informed through our videos can provide valuable insights and support along the journey. With the right mindset and determination, anything is possible!

I totally agree, it's really sad. The high cost of living in Canada can definitely be overwhelming, and it's pushing many to the brink of burnout. That's actually one of the big reasons why I chose to move abroad. It’s given me a chance to pursue a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle without the constant financial pressure. What's your experience been like?
Taxes are making Canada extremely expensive. We have a government that thinks the solution to every issue is to tax. This is a great video and we need to get rid of the incompetent government we have had for 9 years. This young lady is extremely articulate and informed !
And you think that would bring you happiness? The truth is no human being is better than any other. No race is superior to any other. No race is full of humble virtuous saints.
I also heard! the weather is a major part of people leaving i also notice that canadians born here are upset that, immigrants are getting all the high paying. Jobs while others get low paying jobs.
The only problem with Canada is the lack of managing and utilizing our natural resources, oil and gas mainly, well, there are other problems, overspending by governments at all levels but mostly federally.
Healthcare is a major concern. Very sad. My kid was not able to get proper medical assistance and I waited 2-6 hours in the ER only to be sent back to a walk in and wait 1-3 hours to see a doctor. Sad man. We need a major overhaul.
It's still a hell of a lot better than America right now, I mean unless you like paying thousands for insurance while still having a deductible AND copay, being completely tied to a job in order to get insurance, and, depending on where you live, you may or may not have rights as a human being.
I was also born and raised in Canada, and i am now 30. Canada is not the place i grew up in as a kid and hasnt been for a very very long time. Tho i understand why most people want to leave Canada, me and my family consider this as well, a lot of people simply cant afford to move. There are a lot of older Canadians who will never be able to afford to retire, and are too old to find work in other countries because they dont have high pedigree experience. They have no money or assets to sell either. If you are able to move you are extremely lucky. I feel like even if we sold our house which is the only thing we own, my parents are too old to start life over in another country and we feel stuck here. Not sure where in the world isnt going to fall under the same issues since its the WEF and other large secretive groups who are destroying a lot of countries, maybe they are better now but not for long. Buckle up.
