Agreed, as someone who migrated to Canada, one has to realize that after the initial spark of being in a new country is gone, it’s like living in any other country. Although I would say, Canada is a great option for migration/retirement. Because we pay higher taxes, healthcare is free so you can have free medical yearly checkups, medication heavily subsidized (sometimes you don’t pay a single dollar for your medication, or maybe pay less than $10 for it). Education until high school is free. With that said, the downside is definitely safety and long commutes. I drive so I am not always taking the public transport, but before I had my drivers license, I used to take the public transport, and would always try to be back before a certain time. Additionally, unlike Singapore where everything is conveniently close to each other, one would need to drive to places and the average commute per place (within a 25 km radius), would be at least 30-45 min. Another thing would be cost of public transport. It can get really expensive so that’s why it’s cheaper to own a car/vehicle. I do miss Singapore and I still call it home but for long term reasons, I think Canada is much better. So much diversity in the country so I have learned about different ethnicities and nationalities - its culture and such - more in Canada than I would’ve in Singapore. I also found that the education in Canada have definitely expanded my way of thinking to just being book based and more of a critical thinker. I guess that’s just my take on migrating. It’s important to see all facades of the country and your reasons, before moving. I’ve been living here for almost 14 years, some people I know have migrated but have moved back since.

@@rahelvinson2999 I read your experience on migrating to Canada and It's very enlightening to hear about your journey and how you've adapted to life there. The aspects of healthcare, education, and cultural diversity you've highlighted indeed make Canada an attractive destination for many. From the video I saw many chooses Australia as the place to migrate bcos of the slow pace. I'd like to share a different perspective based on my experiences. Regarding the appeal of a slower pace of life in countries like Australia, I have a contrasting view. While a slower pace can be relaxing, it often translates into delays and inefficiencies, especially when urgent tasks need attention. Singapore despite its fast pace, there's an efficiency and urgency in getting things done.

@@rickoh totally agree, I perhaps forgot to highlight that as well. Canada’s life is very similar to Australia, it is definitely more slow paced and relaxed, but with that being said, because of the influx of Asians from high achieving countries like China, South Korea and Hong Kong, things are most definitely different. Lately there’s been a sense of almost the same pace as Singapore, especially in highly populated metropolitan areas like Toronto and Vancouver. Other than those main cities, many other areas are still very much slower paced and relaxed. I also would add that if someone is looking into migrating for their family, the education system is HIGHLY RELAXED for students, so many of the stressors that Singaporean students feel are not felt by many here in Canada. I guess compared to Australia, Canada/USA is a lot further from Singapore, so people are less likely to migrate here primarily because of the distance (figuratively and literally) from their family. If one wanted/needed to go back to Singapore, it is a lot quicker and cheaper from Australia (or even UK) than Canada. Like for me, I can only plan to go back every few years because when I do, I try to be back for a longer period of time. I would imagine that if I was living in Australia, I would most likely be back at least once every year. I’m also not familiar with the healthcare system in Australia, so I can’t speak on that, but a huge plus for Canada would be the healthcare. Moreover, I know for maternity leave, the mothers are able to also take their 1 year maternity leave without worrying for their job security. That’s because there are laws placed in Canada that ensure the jobs of these new mothers are protected. As the years go, I’ve come to realize that “free” healthcare is so important for me because it definitely puts me at ease knowing that many of the future medical fees are covered and I do not need to worry as much. I think that’s one of the biggest reasons why I still want to live in Canada.

nothing is perfect is all about sacrifice

@@edisonlim7990 yeah, I'm willing to live with Singapore's imperfections. I'm fine with it.

Not to be rude but no one is thinking of Philippines 😅 we know it’s good in Singapore but there is a lot more benefits leaving

@@gamlash95 to each his own. I'm not telling anyone to stay. Just to recognise that Singapore has it's own benefits that we shouldn't deny.

@@edisonlim7990 while that is true in an absolute sense, it's really a fucking stupid comment bro LMAO. you ever hear a billionaire complain that he needs to sacrifice his and how bad his life is? sounds fucking stupid hor? yea, that's how you sound. living in a place that is ranked top 10 on almost all important lquality of life metrics and saying "it's all about sacrifice" HAHAHAHAHAH siala. can think a bit before talking? 🤣🤣

we will!

@@TheSmartLocal isn't that jia yang?

SO REAL

migration will be like a lump sum and once in a lifetime thing rather than travelling as a tourist. There are some things that I cannot do and provide for my future kids in Sg but overseas will allow that and that is my goal to move away and get PR in a country that is more laid back and better culture

I have stayed overseas 18 years, only after I work and stayed overseas for an extended period I truly appreciate the SG system.

D cost of housing n coe already killed u!

​@@leechong2291try getting an apartment in NY, London or Sydney. See if that is cheap

​@@leechong2291and cars? Don't even get me started about how much valuable hours of your lives lost forever in 2-3 hour traffic jams every single day just to get to work. I'd much rather pay the high COE and enjoy the almost no jam roads saving me time of my life which I can never get back in Singapore.

Spot on. Going over on a holiday in Australia and then deducing it is better like thr girl did is seriously misguided. You could do the same in Singapore by taking up a lesser pay 9-5 job.

Different strokes, different folks. Close to 100K Sporeans are residing in AU

Many ppl told me they would never want to retire here in SG, for me I hope to work and enjoy some quality life out of Singapore once I get the chance within this decade... I believe I will not have much regrets as SG is becoming too unliveable

i think they meant having more than one season bud....

aka having winter

well there are some stuff like NS that foreigners dun have to face sooooo

and correct me if im wrong but the foreigners which are here are like somwhat rich and singapore is a nice country if you have money soooo

Well, it depends of where they come from.

@@edisonlim7990 It is not that only the rich want to migrate here. It is that to immigrate to Singapore you have to be rich due to the criteria set by the government.

Only foreigners fm 3rd world countries wish to come here. Those rich people will find it boring to stay on dis little island 🏝️

Yes he is an emcee, see video description

they have yet to experience the horrendous policies set by the gov, by then hope it will not be too late to move as migration laws have age limits

Yeah so u should migrate pls

Those who can migrate are people with the skills, and financial means to leave Singapore. It is those with nothing to offer to other countries have to remain in Singapore. 😂

@@koalatheworld I agree with you to some extent. Others may not have the opportunity to do so or like most singaporeans, they are too weak minded and lack courage to move
