Never mind. For one that leaves there are 50 in line waiting to immigrate to Canada. In a globalized world you can live where you feel more comfortable. Some Canadians and immigrants move because they can not stand those looong winters. Some move because they think Canada is too liberal. But at the end of the day , you must adapt to Canada. Canada, its weather and polices will NOT adapt to you.

Moved to Canada in 2017 and looking to leave in 2024. I was lucky to come here with a job and I’m making a six figure income even though I’m far from being successful. However, the problem with canada at the moment is even if you have a decent job and not too bad salary, you still can’t afford a home and the rent keeps going through the roof. Canada’s obsession with immigration is lazy and irresponsible. The politicians and elites see immigrants as cash cows and instead of creating companies that generate jobs and wealth, they speculate in the housing markets which are fuelled by immigrants. Immigration is not necessarily a bad thing but you do it with a plan, definitely not as radically as Canada did under the liberal government. The massive immigration only helps the rich, the already haves and the investors. Ask middle and lower classes how they feel about their life quality in Canada, do they really benefit from the immigration? They fight hard for jobs with minimum wages, pay for ridiculous rents, wait in the long line at the emergency rooms, get into bidding wars in the housing markets …. If you are not rich, simply don’t come to Canada. It’s not worth it unless you enjoy living from paycheck to paycheck and owning nothing.

I’m a Canadian who moved to the United States. I recently got my U.S Citizenship. Life has been so much easier here. I have so much more savings and disposable income. I have a mortgage that has a rate that is locked in for 30 years! A 30 year fixed mortgage. My phone is unlimited for $30 a month. Insurance for two new cars is $170 a month. Gas is cheaper. Food is cheaper. Alcohol is cheaper. When you go to the doctor or hospital you get seen right away. I’m very unlikely to ever move back to Canada. I love to visit, but the U.S is far superior when it comes to overall quality of life which I have experienced first hand.

@@bananian This is a great question. I have insurance through work. They pay most of my premium. I have $80 per paycheck taken out every two weeks. To go for a physical once a year is free. To go to a family doctor outside of that is just a $30 co pay charge. So you pay the $30 and then insurance pays the rest. Specialists are $60. If you are someone who needs major treatment (Let’s say I get cancer) the most I will have to pay on a calendar year is $5,000 out of pocket. Insurance has to cover the rest even if the treatment is in the hundreds of thousands. I’m fortunate though to have a good job and good insurance.

For Canadians over the age of 65, the lack of health care in Canada is turning deadly. More and more of them are dying while waiting for treatments. Many of them are now deciding that it is better to emmigrate to some other country that has a functioning health care system before they get seriously sick and die in Canada waiting for treatment.

I was born and raised in Canada. Even with "Canadian work experience" and a diploma in a high-demand profession, I'm struggling to find a job! Many of my collogues are immigrants who've told me how much they hate the work conditions they're subjected to. It's often abusive. Many feel they have no choice but to show up and keep quiet on the job, which breaks my heart. It's also a serious moral/ethical and political issue that many of my collogues refuse to speak up and report legitimate instances of abuse in/of the system when they do occur. Many people look the other way. I refuse to tolerate this. But when I spoke up, I had nasty labels attached to me before I was fired. The system is broken and abuse is tolerated because... well, people need to eat and employers know that. It's all so wrong.

There are abusive people in every company. They constitute a very small proportion, perhaps just 5% or less but become very problematic when promoted. Usual strategy to deal with it is simply to change projects/teams or join other company. They are usually very intelligent and avoid leaving evidence to report them to HR. But if they do, report them.

In 1993, I received a phone call from Canada, I was headhunted & offered a 2-year work contract. Within months, I moved from Singapore to Banff, Alberta. When my contract came-up for renewal in 1995, they wanted to extend my employment but they couldn't confirm the projected remuneration I would be receiving as the institution was undergoing restructuring, so I left. I stayed on in Canada for a couple more.months to enquire on job opportunities. I quickly realised that many in my profession had quit for better salaries in other fields or that they hopped from city to city for work. thus I decided that it would be best for me to return to my home country, Singapore after all.

Forget Canadian Experience, healthcare, high cost of living, etc. Canada is simply not worth moving to because salaries are low, taxation is high and the quality of life is low. It used to be a great country but those times are long gone! As Lt. Columbo would say "Just one more thing" - job hopping has become normal and so will country hopping. There is no employer loyalty and you might have put in your job your whole body and soul for years just to find out one day that you have been sacked because you are too expensive. People with professional mobility, like IT, are moving (used to, times have changed) every two years. We live in a tough world, life is short and opportunities don't come often so when they do grab them, even if that means moving to a different country. Going after opportunities is what capitalism is about so neither companies nor governments should feel bad when people are moving to greener pastures. Don't do to others what you don't like being done to you.

I agree 100%. My family moved to Canada from Germany in 1978. There were lots of opportunities; easy to get a job, housing, education and cost of living was affordable etc. I enjoyed growing up in Toronto in the 1980s and 1990s. It was a friendly and safe city. Until the early 2000s, things were pretty good. Then unchecked immigration, corruption and socialist policies took over. Left in 2019 because it has become nearly impossible to get ahead on one good income to raise a family. Between high income taxes, property taxes, HST, tire tax, road tax, gas tax, alcohol tax and every other tax on already taxed income you lose about 70% or more of your gross pay. Surviving off the 30% got harder every year due to under reported inflation. What does the Government do with all that money, it redistributes it and employs a massive public sector which makes it harder and harder for businesses and individuals to function. NOT enough goes to healthcare, education and infrastructure. Healthcare since C0V_D has been a terrible, education costs are now on par with many US states and the infrastructure is crumbling in many areas. Lets not talk about housing costs. What surprises me is people still focus on GROSS income when discussing their income. At Canadian tax rates, its irrelevant and misleading. You need to focus on NET income and purchasing power in real terms. Once you do that, the math becomes pretty depressing. Like Germany or other European countries, that that mean Canada is terrible. Absolutely not. If you are part of the chosen people and get an apartment, food, clothing, healthcare, dental, etc. paid for by the Government for showing up, life can be pretty good and much higher quality than a pensioner who paid into the system for 40 years.

I can walk in and see my GP during clinic hours anytime, a specialist appointment is easy to get within a week or so, and MRI within 10 days. You have statutory 6 weeks vacation plus lots of Stat holidays. Except for large cities and a few regions, houses are cheaper. It's a lifestyle thing too. I can jump in the car and within a few hours I can be in Austria, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia or Switzerland. Good food is still cheaper than in Canadian cities.

As someone who moved Canada 3.5 years ago, I agree with all the reasons mentioned. There are many things government could have done better to fight against the inflation, housing crisis, high cost of living and rise in crime and homelessness. I don't even want to mention about the taxes. Like I am almost giving half of my salary to the government yet they are still taking %13 more on what we spend on, yet I've never seen a single place where that money was used to address any of these problems. One of the reasons I moved to Canada was to have a better life style, more buying power and better future for my future kids. But at this point I feel like I am living in a zombie land. High skilled workers will have some other opportunities elsewhere but refugees and low skilled workers will be stuck in Canada and it will get only worse with the current policies.

Very interesting video, all was well explained. But the situation it's the same here in Europe, and maybe is even worse, in Italy you die of hunger! Salary is so LOW and never changed in more than 20 years, and rent of houses is crazy! It's insanely high and with your salary you can't pay the rent (even if you are a doctor, nurse etc..) you don't have money to buy an house and if you pay a rent you can't spend money on anything else. People here live thanks to their parents savings (who has this luck). The situation is very bad, young people can't find a job because there are no jobs available, it's really hard to live. Cities are dirty and degraded. In public health care you have to wait months and years for a visit, you are forced to go private and pay a lot of money. So I think the situation is serious everywhere. If you know a place where you are paid well and there are no such problems let me know.

I can answer your question. The Canadian Immigration officers are the ones that decide if you can afford to live in Canada. When you apply for a PR or citizenship, they will ask about how much money you have and how you will support yourself. To put it bluntly, Canadian Immigration officers have been given new mandates when Trudeau got into office to let people in DESPITE not being able to support themselves. You can say "I'm moving to Vancouver and intend to work at Wendy's and rent an apartment in downtown", and the Immigration officer will tell you you can support yourself just fine. Think about it. If a government official tells you that you can afford to move to Canada, why wouldn't you trust them?

I'm an italian immigrant with work permit since 2 years. 80% of the friends I made in this time (all immigrants, with PR or work permits) left. Canada wants the top of the notch immigrants with high value skills and rich students from abroad but these people are not desperate at all and they are leaving families and homecountry behind to come here. Canada is far from everywhere except US that has better opportunities and economy and "steal" the few young talents that Canada makes. So these immigrants need to be offered a higher quality of life and with insane rents and house prices, harsh and long winters, bad healthcare, high taxes and never ending burocracy that change every year. Not to mention that, as for things to see or visit there is nothing except the west coast. Higher salaries means nothing when a drink or a dinner out are so expensive.. the result is that indians, italians, french and many others are just going back to their country.

Great video! Here's my 2 cents: The Social scene is a Western thing. Difucuty meeting friends is a well-documented thing about Vancouver. I think it's because Vancouver has three large ethnic monocultures, and they're all preoccupied with money. West Coast is lifestyle over the social scene. At the same time, Toronto is much more diverse culturally and economically, and culturally, it has a more outgoing social norm. The housing crunch is partially driven by supply and demand, at least not here in greater Vancouver, where I can see hundreds of brand-new condominiums and townhomes empty or for sale. The real issue is the lack of affordable housing. I've lived in Canada my whole life, and im also considering leaving.

​@@marcoprolo1488 I don't think women and gays being equal under the law, with the former being able to work and the latter being able to NOT be murdered anymore, has had anything to do with our decline. It's largely due to very useless leaders who have no ambitions for this country and won't allow Canadian industries to develop (especially our resources industry). We keep taxes high and punish businesses for trying to do more work here and operate within Canada itself - one business owner who moved her business from China to Canada is telling people not to do it because while she was prepared to have lower profit margins she was not prepared for the level of red tape strangling her business. We didn't need the immigration levels we took on because we weren't developing our industries. The high immigration helps keep wages low and the prices for homes and other suppliers and services high, which is great if you're among the elite who own a lot of businesses and properties, but it's crushing to 99% or so of the country. We protect certain companies to the point of just after screwing citizens. We pay more for cellphone plans than anyone. Why? Because we keep our competition. If you tell Bell or Rogers that you need an Alberta phone number because you're moving there and try to setup your plan as though you're in Alberta they get shifty because they have to offer you the much lower prices that are available there - Alberta is competition among cellphone companies and all the prices came down to something more reasonable. Not building more housing is part of the point of the increase in immigration, to drive up the price on real estate owned by baby boomers and the elite class investors. We resist integrating new technologies because we protect certain jobs for no reason other than appeasing unions, mostly in the government. The courts have seen automation features introduced during the pandemic removed so that it wouldn't be a rush to the union jobs of the court clerks, who then seem to never get anything done and complain they're overwhelmed. This is across the board. Meanwhile, our government is becoming more authoritarian and censoring things left and right (you want to see how bad? Use a VPN and check things out from the US and UK, and you'll be amazed what news you find about Canada that you don't find here). As a country, we're screwed. My friends and I feel like idiots for sticking around and not moving to the US like others we know. We can make double to triple, and more, in the US compared to here. The prices of homes are less in the US, and the general cost of living is less. So you make more, and can buy more with each dollar. Oh, and the taxes are substantially lower. Think about our tax situation. The top marginal tax rate in Ontario is over 50%. Add 13% tax on basically anything you buy. Then add additional taxes on things like gas. And raise prices further because of this like the carbon tax. We're just so screwed. It's a disaster.

I am from Hong Kong and came to BC as a grade 10 international student until university graduation. I now work in a large firm in Vancouver. This marks my 14th year in Vancouver, and I am contemplating returning to Hong Kong. Despite the challenging political environment, my primary concern lies in the cost of living. The high tax rate and soaring living expenses keep my savings minimal. I completely agree with the analogy you drew regarding working as a flight attendant. Even an entry-level position in my hometown would yield higher earnings than a mid-level position in Vancouver. Contrary to the misconception about Canada's excellent health benefits, go google and you will see people suffered due to prolonged waits for doctors and medications. The housing crisis in Vancouver is alarming, exacerbated by the lack of immigrant volume control from the Canadian Government. There was no concrete housing plan in place before welcoming more people into the country. I can’t tell if this is a Liberal party or Canadian government issue, but someone needs to step up and initiate change. Without intervention, Canada's situation could deteriorate further

It's the same thing in all of North America high housing costs it's in fact worst in the US.

I came to Canada in Jan 2022 on permanent residence from India and returned back to India in November 2023. My reason to move to Canada was, I moved back to India for personal reasons after living in USA for 10 years (studies + work). I moved to Canada because I missed US, and thought it was difficult to adjust in India, and US would never give me green card anyway (due to country of birth quota). I moved to Canada with a job in hand, but opportunties are limited here. On top salaries are low, even compared to India. Healthcare is a disaster. In US, I could see a doctor next day. I had 4 surgeries done in US, multiple CT scans and countless X-rays. Never had an issue. In Canada, despite paying high taxes I fear of not able to get medical treatment and wait for months to see specialist. Slowly I realized, this country is not USA anyway and was naive of me to think of it as a viable replacement. I ended up returning back to India, as in end I realized India has issues, Canada has different ones but in India at least I can earn well (70 to 80K CAD while 2 BHK costs me like 500 CAD per month, 300,000 CAD for luxurious 3.5 BHK) and I can be close to my parents, the reason for which I left US. I will always miss US though. As long as I have family in India, I will never think of settling anywhere else. But the only country I would ever consider in future is USA.

I can confirm that income and sales taxes in Canada are not high by world standards when looking to countries beyond the USA. Where I live in Poland, income taxes might appear lower on paper (12% and 32%), but there is an additional healthcare premium of 9% that is above and beyond income taxes that ultimately makes the 'taxes' paid about the same. Not to mention 23% sales taxes that many don't think about as it is included in the price.

What I’m saying is what we pay in tax and what we get back from our tax is not of great value.

One of the main reasons you don't make friends in Canada isn't cultural or personality issues but objectively, Canadians have to try and work any and all shifts, any days, holidays and weekends are disappearing. They need to work full-time + side jobs. So, with distance involved, most people won't be free for friendship at the same time as any others. It's that simple really.

@@ddaniel987x As much as you might not wanna believe it the Us is still 100x better than Canada on so many levels it's not even funny. You brought up health care and how you need to pay in the Us this is true but when you compare to Canada a place where we dont have enough doctors, doctors aren't paid well and no one is becoming doctors we have a whole other issue. That issue is wait times and health care availability. In Canada healthcare is free but unless you're under 25 or over 65 they don't care about you unless your arm has torn off. I've seen people die in the waiting room due to blood loss just because we don't have enough doctors and the ones we have aren't paid enough so the result is that most people in the health care industry simply don't care and do the bare minimum. another issue with our healthcare is if you dont live in a major city and you get sick you're pretty much fucked because you won't be able to see a doctor in a timely manner a lot of people who live in rural canada don't even have a family doctor or any recent medical records which is a huge issue if they do go and seek out a doctor. (Not to mention the clean water and food issue we face in canada) as for vacation and stuff regarding employer employee dynamics thats quite literally the same in the US as it is here in Canada its sad but true. Most employers in Canada will pay you your vacation pay on each paycheque making it so you never build up any real vacation time. Which means if you do go on vacation youre shit outta luck and the company doesnt owe you a thing. Canadian employers do this to disincentivize people from taking vacations and keep them working year round. which honestly isn't any different from the US. This is why i said eariler that the US is a much better place to live then Canada but Canadians don't want to accept it because we spent the last 150 years as a nation building up this sense for superiority. That we are better and more peacful then our southern brothers but its just propaganda if we're being honest Canada is the worst 1st world country to be in. Even places like China are much much better in terms of day to day life and availability to resources. As for Europe places that come to mind are Switzerland Finland Denmark Ireland Amsterdam, just to name a few and all these places have a better quality of life than Canada and most of these places are cheaper then Canada for daily life not to mention the beautiful landscape of these places overall Yes you have parts of Europe that are pretty bad but you also have really good and nice parts just like in canada you have the line everyone lives below and you have the northern areas where you need a plane to get there cuz its so remote. overall everywhere has issues but Canada has the most issues out of all these places and on top of that Canada is the only place in the world where we can only use 12% of our land mass for our growing population the other 88% is uninhabitable with its only usebeing for mining.

I lived in Western Europe, Japan and at the moment, Canada. I lucked out getting a well paying job in Vancouver when I moved back a few years ago and my average tax rate is actually the exact percentage you stated in the video - 28%, which includes income tax, pension and employment insurance. I'm actually doing better in terms of quality of life now but I do miss being able to travel around Europe for cheap. (e.g., quick train ride to Paris for the weekend) Now, I take cheap flights (e.g. Flair Airlines) to Mexico instead. Just to state some data points: when I was in Europe, I paid a total average of 39% income tax on a lower salary than I have right now in Canada. Things like utilities (e.g., gas/electricity), restaurants, certain grocery items and electronics (e.g., iphone/PS5/computers) were significantly more expensive because European VAT (inclusive) is usually 20%+. I don't have the exact numbers but on average I believe I was paying 70 - 90€ ($100 - 130 CAD) just for electricity each month for a small flat, but I am now paying $30 - 50 CAD for a decent sized 1 bedroom. I believe my housing gas bill was about the same or possibly a bit more. In addition, automobile gas prices were much higher (about $2€/L on average which is $2.90 CAD/L) and I think they could go even higher right now. However, rent is definitely more expensive in Vancouver, but I believe that is true for many West coast cities in North America. Right now I'm paying $2300 CAD a month for a 1BR, and I split that amount with my partner. In comparison, it would have been about €1300 ($1900 CAD) for something similar in the city where I was living previously. In a more expensive city (e.g. Amsterdam) a 1BR would easily cost €1800+ ($2650 CAD). For me, the difficulty of making friends in my late 20's stays about the same. I think it is difficult to make new friends after graduating from school, and you have to put yourself out there by joining groups and events. (e.g. Meetup or volunteering?)

If your tax bracket is 28% that means you're not earning much

@@avimakkar Like I said, low income bracket. BTW, you're probably only calculating Federal income tax. There is also Provincial. In Ontario, the first $40K plus is taxed at 15% Fed and 5% Provincial. The next $50K is taxed at 20.5% and 9.15%. And don't forget HST on all your purchases, easily 13%. Lastly, RRSP is delayed tax of at least 20% upon retirement

As someone who has been in Canada my entire life (except the odd travels), I would leave Canada if I could. Unfortunately I have family circumstances that require me to be available for my family in a short timespan (so I've bought a house within one hour drive from my parents with my partner). But if my life circumstances were different (and I can convince my partner) - I'd be out of Canada within a few months, once I find a job overseas. It's quite depressing here and I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Note: I do not live in the Toronto area or the Vancouver area but still a pretty medium/large city.

As a Turkish living in Alberta temporarily it’s not my business talking about economy, housing crisis or drug addiction since I am only here for a year. But I must say someting about the hospitaly and friendship. As an introvert I can’t believe that I have so many good friends here. Canadians are really talkative, generous and friendly. And I am glad I am going back home with so many good memories that made me feel like home.

5:25 this is absolutely true, and I say this as someone born and raised in Canada. It is even worse than you say, and it affects Canadians too. Many organizations have a culture of meek compliance to rules, which may not make sense. Most Canadians try to avoid standing out, and standing out is likely to be seen by your boss and peers as threatening. No one wants to rock the boat. These rules and expectations may differ substantially according to the politics and beliefs of the employer. For instance, overtime may be highly encouraged in one place and discouraged in another. But the veneer of handling things in a highly compliant and pleasant way is always there, with a hidden expectation that you will speak positively about the biases of your boss or owner. In other words, the common factor is that bosses often have fragile egos or are afraid of anything that challenges the status quo. This harms critical thinkers and innovators who often leave to the US or China, but also immigrants who have even larger barriers to working within the status quo. Even among better bosses I have had, I notice this tendency towards intense discomfort with ideas that come from outside of their direct experience. Though at least with my current boss and one other I had in the past, there is an intellectual curiosity and empathy which helps them gradually open up to unfamiliar things (and they're just awesome people in general). But I still notice this bias sometimes. It's definitely cultural.

Over the last 10.15.20 years, Canada has degenerated into a third-world version of the first world. That's why all the born Canadians and past, older immigrants are fleeing if they have the means. Few progressive opportunities, sky high living expenses and taxation, a Russian roulette health care system and low wages makes Canada closer to the third world than the first. Our government doesn't release accurate stats these days, but you can be sure the life span of the people here is decreasing faster than anywhere else in the first world. The government even wants you to "do yourself in" if you're in a bad situation with M.A.I.D. so they can save a few bucks. And what's really sick is "doing yourself in" includes "mature minors", kids in their teens, drug addicts, impoverished people attempting to live off government provided disability payments, people with treatable depression. If it's a cost saving to the government, nothing wrong with any morality issues here. You can be sure a hundred years from now it will be compared with Nazi Germany of how evil and cold governments can be. All this from a government class that has the audacity to tax it's people at close to 50% and then blows the money on the politically well connected. Indeed, the people of Canada would most likely be better off if the country was broken up, invaded by the USA, or governed as a UN protectorate.

You're totally right about Canada at the end. Canadian here, born and raised in Alberta, but lived in Toronto, Vancouver and Halifax. Plus have lived all over the world including 8 years in NE Thailand, and can't wait to get back to Asia. So much better than Canada in so many ways. You're right about Toronto being more open, and yeah, just because of the multi-culturalism. Everyone seems to realize that literally every possible background in the world is represented in Toronto, so it's more of a live and let live atmosphere. Yeah, in Canada for decades now we've not moved slowly, but ran towards that more privacy = higher quality of life. The whole seclusion, privacy and being away from the hustle of life was viewed as prestigious. Now decades later we have no idea who our neighbors are, most conversations are just an exchange of pre-learned robotic phrases because our social skills are shot plus due to the prevalance of "stranger danger" we're all too scared to talk to each other anymore anyway. When the current generation of adults were kids they were taught that every adult they don't know wants to rape them, so... But yes, know what you mean and why I can't wait to get back to Asia. Miss the communal nature of society there, everyone knows each other, looks out for each other, lots of life on the street, kids and dogs out playing, and just a better world. Not to mentioncheapercheaprer.
