She compares the differing challenges between people who come to Canada as temporary residents versus permanent residents. For example, moving to Canada as an international student or worker can be a different experience from immigrating through Express Entry as a skilled worker. “The conditions are very limited as to what they can do.

Canada is one of the worst countries for domestic and international travel. Not only is it far from literally everywhere (except the US), but it also has incredibly expensive flights. You might already expect that for International flights to Europe and Asia, but it’s also hard to find cheap flightswithin Canada. For example, a flight from Toronto ...
Another one of the most common reasons people don’t want to move to Canada is winter, and I can 100% resonate with them. Winter is the #1 reason why Canada sucks– and the main reason I wanted to leave Canada so badly in the first place. Canada gets all four seasons. That means beautifully hot summers, crisp autumns, and blossoming springs. But if y...
Canada may love to bring in immigrants, but they haven’t figured out how to ensure they can work (unless you are moving to Canada from the US). There are a few issues for immigrants working in Canada. First, you need to speak English. And, in some cities, you’ll also need to speak French. If you don’t speak either language fluently, you’ll struggle...
Canada is home to free healthcare, and that’s one of the main reasons people move to Canada. However, it isn’t entirely “free.” For example, our free healthcare does not cover dentists, prescriptions, vision care, and preventative medicine. Also, coverage varies between states. Some doctors and procedures covered in Ontario might not be covered in ...
Toronto’s housing market has boomed in recent years, making it exceptionally expensive to buy a home in Toronto. It’s the same for other major cities, too. If you live in Toronto or Vancouver, you’ll need upwards of $1.5 million USD to find a place bigger than a shoebox. That being said, you can find affordable housing if you commute from suburbs o...
If you already live in North America, this probably seems totally normal to you, similar to tipping at a restaurant. But once I moved to New Zealandand England, I realized how strange it is. You go to a store, see a posted price, and then have to guess what your total will be after factoring in tax. It makes it much harder to budget– especially whe...
An odd hobby of mine is comparing the prices of phone plans around the world. Canada has the most expensive mobile phone plans of everywhere I’ve lived. In New Zealand, my phone plan was month-to-month (one of the more expensive options). It included 3 GB of data as well as unlimited texting and calling. Additionally, Vodafone had a promotion where...
Canadians are well known for saying “sorry”a lot. But we don’t always mean it. It’s such an ingrained response in us that if someone bumps into us, we’ll apologize to them. However, we’re not doing it to actually say “sorry.” We’re saying it as a reaction. We can also use it very passive-aggressively. So look out for tone when you hear people sayin...
In Canada, we’ve got a lot of wildlife. And most of it is dangerous or annoying. We’ve got moose, deer, bears, and gophers (or marmots if you’re in BC). There are wolverines, coyotes, wolves, and many more carnivores running amok through our wilderness. But the worst of our wildlife comes in the form of insects and Canadia Geese (a.k.a. satanic hel...
When you move to Canada, you have to start over in many ways. One of those ways is with your credit. It doesn’t matter to Canadians what kind of credit history you have abroad. Unless you’ve filed for bankruptcy or have a criminal record relating to financial crimes, you’ll basically start over. This can be a great reason to move to Canada if you d...

Nov 29, 2023 · About 67,000 people left Canada in 2019 and nearly 60,000 did so in 2017, which was a lot higher than the average baseline they recorded between 1982 and 2018, researchers at the Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC) and the Conference Board of Canada (CBC) said at a press conference on Oct. 31. The study didn’t say why newcomers were ...
