Yeah why are u moving out from singapore

Haha do job Canadian way? Do they use a magic wand to get things done? Honestly it's a ridiculous thing going on since ages and Ontario removed the ask now for Canadian experience.

Clearly a hot topic in Canada!

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.

I follow a South American KZfaqr who had the same thing happen to him, he moved to Canada and didn't look happy, Canada has this aspect of being a great country, and it is, but people idealize it a lot, and when they see the problems or the face not so nice gets frustrated.

How much to see the doctor?

​@bananian touche', but atleast we have doctors available in America...well, until illigal immigration and bad laws shut down hospitals, see: California's new law that expands Healthcare coverage to illigals...and will bankrupt hospitals with 18 dollar payments for x-rays.

@@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.

shhhhhh!! dont say that! see, canada is a heaven! so does cuba, equador, venezuela, china and socialism is a colorfull success! United States is hell on earth... yea, right...

This is actually a good take aha and not just whining from unsucessful immigrants that don't want to work hard in canada, thank you for this.

"Woke" Canadian Gov doesn't care - they encourage euthanasia.

Which is why you need to keep applying for new jobs constantly. Even salary job is a contract where you don't know the end date. And after 2 years, you should be changing jobs for sure. Don't get stuck at a company. Otherwise pay falls behind market.

Seems you have never been to for example Latin America. If you get to work in a Latin company (if you actually manage to find a job over there as it's so difficult) you'll see Canada's work culture is heaven.

@ddaniel987x well having lived in canada my whole life, the general culture in offices is more relaxed compared other countries. However, whenever new immigrants join a office, they ruin the level of expectation, work life balance, etc. They work way too hard for little pay and the bosses start expecting this from everyone. This upsets the local whites and the local naturalized citizens who grew up in canada.

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.

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.

​@@1949coupe But like aren't tax rates in Germany really high as well? Last I heard it was 40% which is a lot and the cost of living in major cities is also high.

@@kartikjoshi7206 Yes...the gap has closed, but income is taxed as a family so if you have a higher income earner, it makes a difference. My property taxes are $500 and good schools, trade schools and universities are free. Healthcare is expensive but it works. 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. Is it perfect...no, but it works for us for now. There are still a few things I miss about Canada but it is what it is. You don't leave your homeland for no reason.

Thanks to Trudeau

@@kartikjoshi7206 Yes taxes and Healthcare costs are very high in Germany, but overall rhe quality of life is higher....for now. Just take education. If your child wants to become a doctor or engineer it's almost free. I know several people in Canada who spent $500,000 for their kids to get through medical school.

The biggest problem in Canada is white people who stole this land, mass murdered Indigenous people and then act like snowflakes and self entitled ignorant aholes. Everything else is just a symptom of this root problem which might never be resolved.

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?

Because there is a lot of lies being put on the social media in the third world by immigration scammers and the western governments telling them that life in Canada and other western countries is perfect and that you will be able to live a happy and successful life with no problems no matter who you are. Also, the belief of the western dream is still very prevalent there even though the western dream has been gone for a while.

Not to mention, that in 3 months I can get an appointment with a top of the field doctor in Paris, Viena etc. At the end of the day the cost of living should be considered in terms of stress and access to basic services. Medical services are virtually non existent in Canada.

Unfortunately Australia is heading down the same path due to super high immigration numbers, our infrastructure is being swamped. Young Australians are being priced out of the housing market and owning their own home is now becoming a pipe dream.

Living standards are also dropping here and we are seeing homelessness increase. The Aust. govt. says it is cutting back on immigration numbers but in reality its just smoke and mirrors there are far too many people in power with an interest in keeping the numbers high..

Ditto NZ

@@user-bi8wp6wy3lI feel Australian living cost is largely due to cost of housing. The gov should consider granting property developers from Asia, we build houses in record time. I’m talking about developers from singapore, korea, thailand and Malaysia.

​@@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.

It's the same thing in all of North America high housing costs it's in fact worst in the US. In Mexico it's not that bad but due to remote work thousands of Americans are moving to Mexico so expect higher housing costs here. But I recommend to leave Vancouver and move somewhere else as Vancouver is one of the most expensive city in Canada so not a big shocker...

Hong Kong is definitively far more expensive than most cities in Canada. In fact, while Toronto and Vancouver are indeed expensive, other cities in Canada are far cheaper than any other developped nations. Personally I live in Saguenay (in Québec) and everything is very cheap and there are a lot of good job opportunities. I don't think I could find a better place to live in the US or Europe

Exactly. The hardworking middle class Canadians can’t afford anything and will never be able to compete with rich immigrants. If you look at the housing prices in Vancouver and Toronto and their average salaries, you will know who are buying those places and pushing up home prices and rents. I know someone in their 30s bought 30+ condos in Toronto and on the other hand, a lot of people can’t even afford one. It’s like playing monopoly in Canada.

Canadian experience is to ride along with bullish leaders, and drugs on the job environment. Simple

I think we need to look at two sides of the coin. Paying tax is one side and receiving givernment welfare and service is another. In Canada, the provincial health insurance doesnt cover eye care, dental nor medicines and companies pay health tax for their employees as one of the three types within payroll tax (I know this because i do operating budget for my department) The free education is up to grade 12 (which is standard nowsaday even for my home county in Southeast Asia). What I’m saying is what we pay in tax and what we get back from our tax is not of great value.

You forgot that income is much higher on USA . So it is fine to pay taxes and even deductible for health care because simply in US you make more per year .

keep in mind, we can be taxed up to 50% on our paychecks alone... as the old saying goes, the more we make, the more they take, it makes the common worker discouraged, and end up either working a 2nd job under the table, or cut back on the hrs, so the taxes aren't as high... and a lot of those taxes really don't go back into our programs, like healthcare, which is currently in huge despair...you cannot even get a family Dr. here anymore...

@@FoundationElectronics As in the vast majority of countries of the world for earners in the top income bracket. The top income tax in the 1950s was 83% in Canada, 91% in the USA, and 94% in the UK, hence the famous Beatles song that turned out to be a big favour for the ultra-wealthy.

The majority of the people from South America and Asia don't have a higher living standard than Canada , that's why they want to move either Canada or the US for a better life even if Canadian find Canada is bad to live in Canada today , because Canadian don't really know the real meaning of hardship in life like it is in Asia or South America .

If you earned an average salary in those countries not even one day would have passed to make you realize why many people from those countries want to move to countries like Canada.

But well funnily enough the countries that have the same life quality or even better have almost the same (to not say the same) structure as Canada in their government, gee there are countries that have even higher taxes and cost of living than Canada and the life quality is the same or even better (and yet still comparable). And funnily enough I see a lot of people from USA and wealthy west Euro countries wanting to leave for almost the same reasons lol

@Seriesxnation yeah and let me ask you is insurance free? At least Canada sees health as a right and not as a privilege. How can't you create a future in Canada? For example unlike what I saw in my home country I don't see people in mass begging for money in every stop light for example or that if you manage to gain some success you get extorted by pretty dangerous gangs and guess what if you seek help to the authorities in many cases not only they don't help you they even team up with such gangs. Sure in US the salaries can be higher in SOME fields or that a business can be more profitable in SOME industries but it doesn't mean in Canada it's bad.

@@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. Basically Canada fucking sucks and its not even a real place its just a wannabe USA we're basically USA jr just all the bad parts lol

Your governMIND should leave immediately and stop applauding Nazi in the Parliament.

Dude they know what they done did here ! 😂🥳🤷

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

​@@robocop581He said percentage not tax bracket. I make 90K and after my RRSP and FHSA contribution (12K) my affective tax rate is 20% so about 70K take home after taxes.

@@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

Indians are waking up to the bullshit in this country, the ones that come here stay with family and are able to live but others don't have that opportunity.

Seems like it lmao

Itsbrhe future, Canada will be brown and yellow in the future.

India is a literal 3rd world country... Their main export is people, just like China used to do back in the 80s and 90s...

Hell 😂 believe me

Oh shucks, whatever will we do?

regret what? the shitty weather and terrible pay?

That’s true

Isso não é vida 😢

Its just one way, I was talking to my colleague yesterdat after work about how tired and exhausted we are doing 12hrs shift. We are forced and pushed into into it, took away all the 8hrs shift. In US, the choice is yours, you can do nights only, evenings only, 8hrs or twelve hrs. The sick rate

@@meldawilliams1636 That pushed me out of nursing entirely right after I finished my degree. My health tanked and they refused to accommodate anything but 12 hour shifts on a rotating schedule that my doctor would not approve. Nobody would hire me with the accommodations I required.

I think its also cultural. People dont say it, but they avoid and race still matters. Sometimes i get it like maybe its just hard to communicate to a non english speaker but, I also see in their eyes the judgement whenever they have the chance to actually make friend. Its socially sad. I've grown up in a country with some of the worlds most happy and sociable people. As an introvert, its easier to make life back home. Here in Canada, I just decided to wfh because its just too hard. And I feel bad for canadians too. Not having to experience a society that is highly sociable. Definitely missing out on all the fun.

So you think conservatives will be better

​@@chickensoup2314heck yeah! When Harper was in, the economy was mucho better and it was a normal government now we have a woke one

Exactly, all over the world it’s the same story. Good example are US states, people are leaving the most progressive states in huge numbers, because that ideology is destroying middle class and freedom. Another example is New Zealand, where I used to live, progressive policies destroyed that country (it looks like it might turn for better now). My home country (Czechia) has been getting more into this too, makes me worried.

are you clinically insane????? do you live here, the damage done is beyond understanding @@chickensoup2314

@@MarekG142 Take a look at places conservatives have built - Belarus, Serbia, Donbas, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea. It's always a struggle between people wanting to build a better future and those wanting to slide back into stone age.

ciao bye!!

Good Riddance

USA? You must be very brave. Don't you not worry about being shot at while jogging?? Or get knocked down by people enjoying "zero-dollar shopping" ??

Maybe if you stayed in usa, you would have gotten green card. Did you have an immigration lawyer in usa?

You seem like a rich Indian , why would you not hire an immigrant lawyer?

Im leaving next year to the United States once my citizenship comes through 😅

You'll find it a lot harder to gain US citizenship - maybe 10 years total@@Mustang85635

We have passport leeches in Canada. They come here for Healthcare yet they don't help to $upport the system. Healthcare should go hand in hand with how much you help fund it. If not, there's always health insurance. Nobody wants to pay for someone's elderly parents that need a lot of healthcare that just immigrated here a couple of years ago.

@@sanshin9 Those you called "passport leeches" are contributing your economy you ungrateful POS. All those leave, no immigrants you thing Canada will become rosy again?

@@sanshin9 Tell that to those individuls. Canada’s Minister of Heritage is from Argentina Canada’s Minister of Trade is from China Canada’s Minister of Housing is from Somalia Canada’s Minister of Seniors is from India Canada’s Minister of Fisheries is from South Africa Canada’s Minister of Transportation is from Saudi Arabia Canada’s Minister of International Development is from India

I always find it hilarious how talking about this seems to be more controversial on KZfaq than attributing all problems to immigration, for example.

Nah, I like the winters in Ontario, and I am not being sarcastic. I immigrated from Singapore and I hated the heat and humidity there.

She lives in Vancouver...winter is long,long months of rainy shades of grey...enough to make you contemplate suicide.

You will not find a job easily in Europe with your nationality, unless you speak the language of the country you are arriving to.

I feel you. Similar situation and Kanada now feels like an anchor rather than a blessing.

come to new brunswick moncton a lot of oportunities

Yes, having lived in England, France, India, and Canada, I have to say these problems plague all western countries. Also, an erosion of democratic freedoms and general indoctrination, on issues such as "public health" or LGBTQ etc. To escape this stuff, I think you would need to go to a developing country.

I am currently living in Canada with my daughter as a temporary résidence. As a n international student, where would you educate your child for univ between UK( London) and Canada ( Toronto area)? Interestingly, studying in London seems to be more affordable than Vancouver or Toronto as international students

I'm absolutely trying to leave but I'm almost 40 2 college aged kids and an aging mother on disability. Trying to relocate and bring my family has not been easy not to mention finding a job and learning another language.... been searching for solutions for 3 years now

@@pixie3393 It might not be the best choice for you and lots of other people. There are good points but there are also lots of challenges too. Sometimes staying put and working on your own situation is the best. Hard to say but the stories I hear from Canada make it sound so difficult.

@WilkinsMichael yeahh at this point its honestly not worth it. All we do here is work .I had a coworker from Ecuador who after seaeing I rarely see Mt kids because I had 3 jobs to make ends meet she refused to stay, finished her school and went home to Ecuador saying that's no life. And it's true. My cousins work 12 hour jobs in Central America one does 24 he shifts and they still have energy to go out as a family and time - they all own their homes even though it's much more expensive than here however It's reasonable and they own the land and the food is much more affordable. I've visited other countries and we are getting the short end of the stick and its getting shorter. It's not worth the price ti be here. For me I always said I can't imagine living anywhere else - and I still can't but to survive and make ends meet it looks like we are going to have to whether we want to or not. A lot of good stores closed down there is almost no where to shop because major retailers have closed and been replaced by smaller low quality stores and services. Mom and pop shops are also closing like affordable groceries and bakeries that either by high rental space or retirement. It's so sad this country has gone this way. I want to say we can ay least see doctors but we have such an extreme shortage. I was using walkin clinics after my Dr. Died - had him since I was a kid - the one good walk in clinic closed down - luckily I found a new family Dr at last but it's taken 16 years to finally get one. I can't even look at affording a car anymore or taking family on vacation. 2 years ago I got a KitKat gingerbread house for my kid for about $10-12 .... this year... $27 ... thats like a 200% inflation ! And it's like that with the majority of items here. Xmas this year was little trinkets and chocolates. Xmas isn't a big deal but there are 5 of us who work and all our bank accounts are depleting. Thr country is certainly going backwards. Plus the censorship of information. We're becoming prisoners in our own country =/

exactly what i am doing aswell and it sucks.

You know !

Slaves got food and rent for free 😂😂😂😂😂

Move to Mexico. You may be pleasantly surprised:)
