tinola if you have seen a couple of my videos and on her channel as well she has been featured here multiple times okay as you can see from the title in today's video we are sharing some untold truths as to why people are leaving canada if you have been following my channel you would have seen that i've shared a lot of interesting content about life in canada how much i love living here but there are some things that has not been said a lot of things are things that people would rather not talk about and that is why we are going into some of these untold truths and details as to why people like it here but they will still result to live in canada before we get into all of the details please don't forget to subscribe below and give this video a thumbs up if you enjoy watching it without further ado guys let's get started so the first reason why people leave canada is because building wealth is hard in canada like it's really hard for you to make money and maintain your wealth because when you get a certain stage in your career in your lifestyle where you are no longer earning little income you're not earning above like the average earning income here you start to get these heavy taxes people pay like 30 to 40 percent of their income in taxes yeah and like it just seems like you're just working and working to serve the government yes we do see that the government putting this money into like building good infrastructures in the country but it's like why should i be the one working so hard just for other people to leave you get what i mean yeah it's a lot of money even when you have your own business it's still very uh like taxes are high it's very hard you pay high taxes and personal income taxes you pay high taxes in business taxes you pay high value added taxes that's hst or gst depending on where you live it's like just ridiculously high and the system in place doesn't really allow you to maintain your wealth it's like once you are making money they just find ways to make sure they cut your money and take your money out and keep you in that like middle uh average yes most people in canada are going to be in the middle level middle level that's just where you you can't like be essentially wealthy if you want to be like millionaire billionaire then a lot of people consider legal they move to the us they move to other countries where they can get that tax shield and protect their income from paying excessive tax but in canada it's like you just keep paying on your income in taxes yeah and then the other thing about canada that everybody says they love canada about is free health care of course free health care is fantastic but here's the thing about health care free care means the health care sector is overwhelmed in canada we don't have enough staffs we don't have enough government tries here and there to encourage people to go into these healthcare professions but it's still not enough so you get to go to the emergency room and you're spending eight hours eight hours yeah it's long waiting time you sometimes need to do certain surgeries and they have to cancel it's not once not twice because we don't have enough staffs to do that for you so it's like the health care system is free even though it's not completely free with people because your time for you from your taxes exactly but then it's free to some extent quote unquote but at the end of the day you don't get the full benefit from the health care so it's like it doesn't matter is it really free yeah and then and then you can it's not flexible in terms of oh i have the money let me just go to the price i think that's the most annoying part of it because even if you have the money that you decide okay i can just go and get private health care on my own you can't even do that because it's not available here like you have to use the same hell together everybody's using yeah so if you have your money you can make yourself an exception and get some special or fast healthcare services like some other country you have to do the same thing and wait in line wait till you get to your turn for all of these things imagine waiting in an emergency room for eight hours that's no longer an emergency yeah it's not long ago it's just normal yeah some people even move to selling towns and they're like oh they need a family physician and they can't get it yeah they kill for like six months i'm like what so it's like nah it's a town yeah it's ridiculous anyway another reason why people leave canada is because of the high cost of living it's very expensive to live here coupled with the fact that you don't even make as much money so all the money you are making it almost goes into the cost of living the real estate is expensive food is expensive like the basic necessity of life is very very expensive in canada and that's how you find people that okay people now tend to move to smaller cities just so that they can afford to buy a house and all that but then when you move to outskirts or smaller cities it's like you are now withdrawing from people that you guys have built a community together and now you're going to be by yourself just because obviously you can't afford to live in bigger cities where everybody is in there's always a trade of yeah it's like you're trading off something and when you're moving to that smaller city definitely you will not be able to see your friends your loved one family as much because now you're not far away from them cost of living here is just ridiculously high like why am i paying so much in rent so much in feeding so much income insurance cultures is the absolute mess like it's a mess phone bills is like you can just google it phone bills in canada is one of the most expensive in the world like why am i paying so much for like a phone plan that i might not even make more than how many calls in a month and it's compulsory so these are not bills that you cannot it's not the way to do something insane insane actually if you live in like more busy cities it's like you may not never even get to get the reward or claim from an insurance but you are paying so much for that insurance it's just insane cost of living here is ridiculously high and when you compare it to the income it's like everything keeps going up and up and up but the pay is not increasing at the end of the year when you look at inflation rate inflation rate is higher than the percentage at which your income increases so it's like people just ask themselves then what's the point why can't i just move to a country like the us where you get paid more even though the cost of living is still high you get paid more way more than what you earn in canada so that's definitely one of the reasons why people also leave canada the other reason why people leave canada is boring lifestyle now you guys are probably familiar with this people complain a lot about canada being boring we have limited places to go to have fun you know people get tired of that at the end of the day so they want something exciting canada sometimes feels very gloomy you know everything is so programmed it's the same work and homework and lifestyle and people want more people want to be able to be adventurous travel and you will see a lot of people leave to travel out of canada they might come back to canada but you see a lot of people just leaving because they can't spend the entire year yeah you know that's why you see sometimes people would be like they're still permanently residing in canada but they take trips for like a month or two months to work from other countries like they call it vacation but they are still working while they are traveling because they just want to explore something more fun canada is like so boring there's nothing new here it's like just the same thing like so why yeah the other reason why people leave canada aside it's been boring of course and expensive life is people get homesick people love their communities so canada as you guys might know is a country filled with a lot of immigrants so we have a lot of immigrant communities you know here and there and people tend to draw closer to those communities and at the end of the day it's still not enough for a lot of people they still want more from their culture more of their community in fact they get depressed at some point because it's it's very lonely yeah it gets very lonely here so people tend to go back home because they are basically homesick they want to connect with their culture their communities it was when i moved to canada i knew that i was black like of course i know i'm dark skinned i know i'm black but like i never knew that from where i was coming from it was from when i moved to canada i knew okay i might have an accent yeah but back home you don't really care about these things because every one of you look the same everybody speaks the same way and you don't feel this kind of segregation but here you just get tired of that lifestyle of being cultured doing certain things certain ways seen as being different minority groups yeah yeah so you just want to go back home where you just feel like everyone is disabled you don't have to behave a certain way yeah absolutely another reason why people leave canada is because of age as you all know once you grow older you're no longer at that like the peak of your career you are beginning to approach your retirement age people tend to now decide that okay now that i've made some money i've been able to save i would not like to leave the rest of my retirement days or my retirement age in canada where it's very expensive and they'll just rather move back home so once you see people around the age of 50 60s they just decide okay i think i've achieved enough of my goals so i've been able to accomplish some of my dreams and at this point in time i'll just rather go back to where i can settle and just feel relaxed so when you approach that older age you find that people are now leaving canada once they grow older the culture here is that once you get to retirement age or you are aging you will be moved to retirement home and as for immigrants that's something that they don't like most immigrants don't even accept such culture they want to be around their family their loved ones their friends and relatives while they are aging and while they are growing into their older age too they pass on so when you approach that older age you find that people are now leaving canada once they grow older yeah and still time with the older age another reason why people live is cold weather so you know when you're young when you're new to canada you might have that excitement and it can kind of crushing you from the reality of the cold weather but after a while the weather begins to dawn on you and you're like no i can't take this anymore so people tend to feel depressed during winter that's definitely a thing winter depression is a thing and it affects old people young effects literally like literally so people tend to leave canada because the weather is just too cold now some people say some parts of canada is not that cold okay let's talk about british columbia business colombia is not that cold but it's very gloomy i was literally there a few months ago and it was really exactly like i'm like why is it raining so and it was still even chilly when i checked the weather in ontario um in toronto in comparison to the weather in vancouver at that time toronto was warmer at that period and i'm like okay this is supposed to be like the warmest place in canada but it's too chilly we literally wished we had jackets on or we could go and buy jacket because it was really cold and it was really like every minute when you're out this moment next minute is raining you're trying to just you've been out for just a few minutes and it starts to rain so it's like crazy the weather in canada across different and it's extreme weather condition it's not just in one cold when it's cold it's like literally too cold and when it's hot it's like too hot as well speaking of you going to vancouver without me girl alright next time i'm going on the next trip together okay i'll watch you on that but if you guys haven't seen that vancouver video this is time to check it out another reason why people leave canada is because of the canadian passport you know canadian passport is one of the strongest passports around the world it allows you to visit a lot of countries it seems like one of the most powerful passports and once people reside in canada for a couple of years you're privileged or you'll be opportune to apply for canadian passport then when people feel like okay yes i've gotten my canadian passport now what next i can use this passport to live in literally hundreds of countries around the world so why would i decide to now stay in canada the passport brings you opportunities to explore and experience other places around the world so people just feel like okay um one of the reasons i moved to this country is just like work get a lifestyle now go to my canadian passport i might as well decide to move it explore the world go somewhere else try somewhere else where maybe they might even possibly like it better day than in canada so definitely one of the reasons why people live some people their goal is just to even just get the canadian passport once they get the passport like this [Music] and the other reason why people are leaving canada is because they don't get their desired profession imagine you coming from your country with this resume with high position you you've had number of years to your profession now you get to canada and you can't practice that same profession it might not be a big deal for a number of people but for people that are really into their profession passionate about it they find that that is a big disadvantage and a big turn off from staying in canada so that happens a lot with the healthcare system in terms of like medical doctors sometimes even accountants yeah finance department even nursing even nursing sometimes you know because canada yeah they will tell you though canada wants people that are prof that professional workers skilled workers but then when you come to the country it's like you have to like you have to start over they want you to do a sort of course or you know they just want you to get their own degree or specifically before they can allow you to work here and you might not exactly get the same position you had back home so that's another reason why people people get fed up yeah they don't want to start at all yeah having to start all over is definitely really hard challenge some people like imagine you're coming from your home country where you're like the senior director of a particular company and you move to canada and you have to start at the junior level role it's like it's such a hard period for some people to try to swallow they just have to manage for a beat and at some points that feeling of demoting in your career just makes them feel some type of way and they're like i can't do this anymore maybe i'll just go back home and go look for another senior level role or just continue at my previous job i can't just cope from starting from the very very scratch and we all know that when you move to canada you're literally starting all over again yeah another reason why people leave canada is because there is no work-life balance here people tend to work and work and work just to pay their bills just to get their heads up and just take care of their basic ex like necessity of life and it just seems like they just keep working and working on i mean the government tried their best to give like holidays for long weekends so that people can spend more time with their family i know but like how much long weekends do you have in people keep working and working and working it's like a ridiculous circle that you don't even have your own life go home work go to work go home go to work sometimes people like they're like when you say why are you working so much it's like there's really nothing to do i'm bored and if i'm bored like there's nothing to do that's when you when you are now i do you find yourself getting into depression and all so people just tend to take more shifts or look for second jobs and all those things just to keep themselves busy and keeping yourself busy it's like you're not going to basically enjoy while you're even here in the first place you just keep working and working and working that also affects immigrants a lot because when immigrants come here they're like oh i'm coming for a better life for myself and my kids but you find out that they come here and they don't even have time for their kids because guess what their work yeah they're trying to pay their bills they're trying to make money send money back home so they are working so hard so it's like what's the weather where's the time you have for your kids for your family for your spouse how's it when do you even get to spend all this money you're working for but the truth is they don't even get to spend the money because there is no money in the first place when you walk out work and work you pay taxes you pay all you respond your bills needs you send money back home you take your like responsibilities and by the time you are done with all that there's no money left for you to even enjoy your life so you have to go back to work and even the little money you save you spend it on vacation yes you get to go for it how is it that's also another thing like where i came from in nigeria you get one month vacation i work one month vacation i walk which is stupid but here is when i started together people get two weeks vacation in a whole year like two weeks is not enough seriously two weeks i get that they're trying to make more money and everything maximize the usage of their employees but it's so much better too much like why why are you working so hard you don't even get to enjoy your yeah your money yeah and if if you eventually go for the vacation you spend all the money you save and then you have to come back and start a circle over again so it's a circle it's a beautiful yeah circle so what are your thoughts about this are these valid reasons as to why people are leaving canada or do you think it makes sense to you um do you know people that have left canada or are you even considering leaving canada personally i do know a couple of people that have left canada and they tell you that i can never move back i never live here i'm happier where i am i prefer life here i see a lot of tick tock videos of people that move to the us especially they tell you that ah life here just feels different it feels like a different environment i feel happier here my life is better i feel like everything is just different for them so without saying much i know that people really do leave canada and they prefer it elsewhere what are your thoughts let me know from some people will leave and also come back some people will leave it doesn't matter also so would you consider leaving canada i think that would be a story for another time oh that would be a story okay anyway that's it for this video if you enjoyed watching this video
