Hey guys!!
What's up?
how are you doing today?
Welcome back to this YouTube channel
Its your guy Igor here..
coming at you live with another video
why do immigrants leave Canada ?
I'm going to answer this question for you
Why do they leave?
Why do they leave Canada at all ?!
Spending years and so much money to get to Canada
and then leaving why would they do that ?
so in this video I'll give you
10 reasons why immigrants decide to leave Canada
reason number one guys
loneliness and family disconnect
coming to Canada
those guys who immigrated here
alone before they can bring their family
they feel disconnected...
they feel lonely sometimes
because they have to leave their family at home
their children
their parents
sometimes even their spouse
before they can get them
sponsored to Canada
and also more
importantly you get to leave all of your
friends back home
now coming to a foreign country
where you literally do
not know anyone
can be
extremely...
difficult...
reason number two financial difficulties
not everyone in Canada gets rich
don't get me wrong
it's an amazing country
to be in but it's not easy to
accumulate wealth in this country
it is difficult you have to spend so much money
so much taxes...
it's difficult to get the correct job
that makes you enough money
if you think you can come to Canada and accumulate wealth
really fast
it's a big misconception
you have to work a lot to get something
and some people just cannot
cannot handle it
it's too difficult for them that's why they
start considering to leave country and
some people leave it
especially if you
are coming from one of those countries
like mine for example where it is
culturally incorrect to file bankruptcy
those people start taking credits
they start spending more money
than they earn
they take loan for the house
they take a loan for the car
and then something happens
they loose their job or whatever
they have much credit card bills to pay and
they cannot pay it off
and for some people
it can be extremely difficult to
bear depressing and shameful
that they are not able to pay for their bills
and instead of filing for Bankruptcy
they just decide to leave the country
completely..
just give away
whatever they have
and go back home
I just want to remind you guys
do not get depressed
this country is still a country of opportunities
I am just talking..
a little bit about
the smallest portion of people who decide to give up
not every immigrant gives up
and there are lots of successful people who
accumulated insane amount of money
just because they move to Canada
reason number three
guys..
its not really nice to start all over!
so if you come to Canada
and you were at your home country
a VP of Sales
Director of Operations
senior manager
regardless of who you were
even if you held the president on the
elections in your country
it does not mean anything here
because your experience
literally does not count much here guys
so what I am trying to say is
some people who are coming to Canada
They expect to get all of that here
right away
and of course
reap all the benefits
of being on that position in Canada
which is of course
way more fruitful
you get very more profits out of
it is way more money
it's way better than in our home countries
where we come from
all I am saying guys
you don't get discouraged right away
but many people do and they
just cannot handle it
they get depressed
because they are saying well I was this
I was this big man
I would come out of my car
they would lay out a red carpet
for me to walk in
and I come here and
you know I'm washing and washing cars or
filling tanks or
I don't know washing windows
doing cleaning jobs..
just people don't understand
that they would have to start
from from the beginning here to
build their life up
and some people just
don't want to do that they come here and
then they're like getting depressed
and that's another reason why some immigrants
just give up and they just go back home
reason number four guys is real estate prices
whoo-hoo
it's a huge topic guys
that's a huge one
the real estate in Canada
can be millions of dollars
if you go to Toronto
if you go to Vancouver
it's crazy that there are houses
two million dollars
there are some houses
two million three four million dollars in Calgary too
but
in
different cities
especially big ones
sometimes for example in Toronto
you can work your
entire life
making whatever money you're making
and you're not able to buy a
house so that's another thing in Canada
people are coming here and they're like
well I came to a new place and
I can't afford buying a house and it is
difficult for Canadians as well
it's not just the immigrants but some immigrants
just give up they're like
well I came to a country
so I can buy a house
raise a family and
Be a successful person
and then I come here
I can't afford anything
regardless of how many years I work
I spend the same
amount of money
it's also considered to be a financial difficulties
but all I'm saying in Toronto
lots of my friends who
came to Canada because of the real
estate prices
in Calgary you can see
before the house in Toronto they went so
much high that most of my friends are just renting
they don't want to buy anything
because they would not be able to afford it
and banks are not going to
give that money because it's so expensive
they wouldn't be able to afford it
reason number five guys
All the Russians in the house
or Ukrainians
Slavic people will understand me better than anyone
guys political correctness
different mentality
you know
this kind of thing
you cannot even joke properly
at your workplace you're going to end up
in human resource office you know
so there is a different mentality in Canada
you..
Canadians speak in such a way
that they wouldn't offend anyone
when they're commenting on something
there is such thing as
like there is a
censorship here
on the way
on what you can say
and things you cannot
so whatever you used to say in your home country
can be totally unacceptable in Canada
and
for example anyone who is
from Eastern Europe like my..
myself
if you want to come and say to someone
man I don't like that person or
you can come and say something
oh that's a woman driver
for example you know that
how much trouble it can get you in Canada
if you say something like that
which is totally ok in Ukraine and it's
totally different mentality
sometimes
people come in here to Canada think that
Canadians are kind of fake
they're trying not to say what they think and
this kind of different mentality of the way
how the things are done
what you can say
what you cannot say
how you behave
and all these kind of small things
if you were raised in one culture
one single culture
where you're used to one thing
and then you come here and it's totally different
for some people
just sometimes it's difficult to bear with it
ok guys I'll stop right here because
I might say something politically incorrect
I want to say that culture
here is very open-minded
and it's difficult for some immigrants when
they're coming here
to be that much open-minded
because some people are
raised more traditional old-style cultures
where people are not that much
Western ok ?
that's what I'm saying
Depending on which country are coming from
you might face the same difficulties
because you see something that you in
your country it's considered to be wrong
but here it's considered to be right and
if you say something about it you might be wrong
for so for some people just difficult to digest
all this openmindness
at once once they immigrate
and that can get person depressed
reason number six guys
is medicine
medicine medicine medicine
okay
as you might think a Canada has some free medicine right
but prescription medicine
you have to pay for it
dentists are complete ripoff
it's cheaper for you to fly back home
and do all of your mouth
all of your teeth than
having it one dentist look up
in this country sometimes
no I'm not joking guys
you can actually go fly back home
I can fly back to Ukraine see my family
visit a dentist
and come back too!
can afford the same price as I would just visit the
dentist in Canada
one more problem is there medicine here
is that doctors
they don't care it's like a manufacturing machine
you go to see a doctor
they charge money
now of course in Canada of medicine is free
so they charge the government
basically you're paying the taxes anyways
it's considered to be like
they charge you guys
and what they do is
you see a doctor for literally 10 minutes
doctor just goes from room to
room to room to room and collects
hundred hundred hundred hundred hundred
two hundred dollars from each room
every ten minutes
and all you got to talk is the nurse
so unless you are really sick
they are not doing anything here so
basically you go to a doctor and
they're saying you're fine
that's it
you go again you're fine
well I know I'm not fine!!
you know you know there is a preventive medicine
so I don't see any preventive medicine in Canada
unless you're dying that's when they start acting
and if you are still fine on a stage where
you're not yet that much sick
you're fine
and that's what can be really surprising for you
and this is surprising for me
because doctors here are like
they don't care
they just care to get the money
and once they get it they don't care
Reason number 7 guys
That's why my Russian friend left Canada
Man! He was surprised!!
He went back to Moscow
he makes the less money in Moscow but
he doesn't want to go back to Canada
Why did he do that?
well cultural difference the main thing
is for example
if you're a European like myself
probably you're used to go to
opera theatres
and I don't know
nightclub in and this kind of things
well in Canada nightclubs
I want to say
I don't want to say they suck but they do suck
Canadian night life is not as good
Its not as fancy it's probably in your or my country
so guys
it can be surprising
if you like lots of
museums cultures
there are museum in Canada
and bigger cities but if you're
living in smaller city
where they don't have those facilities
it can be really
depressing to be in a different lifestyle that you are used to
for example
you used to go hang out with your friends
going insane night clubbing
go into a cinema
alright cinemas are here but for example
if you go to a Opera or theater
just to see acting and those kind of things
Canada doesn't have enough of them
and you're just used to that kind of lifestyle
back home in Europe
well then
then some people are..
They are saying "Oh screw it"
like I cannot have what I want in this country
different culture guys
It can be difficult
Reason number 8
guys it's kids !
raising kids in Canada is totally different
from what you used to
doing back home
guys kids in Canada
They can tell you whatever they want
I've see in kids in school here
they are ruthless
they are
insane..
I don't want to swear here guys
they are insane
they can tell to the teacher to go and F themselves
they can go and
say whatever the hell they want
if you say something stupid
the kids can come to you and say you stupid
now just like that
it's freaking insane
you know what happens in Ukraine?
if you go to an adult
and you come and say to their face
you stupid!
there will be a smack on your face..!
right away and you flying upside down
that's what's going to happen in Ukraine
so kids is a problem here
and also
some immigrants coming here
they are worried for their kids
going into this kind of school
Having this kind of mentality
not having any kind of responsibilities and
being protected by the government
you cannot raise the kids in a way that
you were raised
you cannot raise the kids in a traditional way
that you are used in your country..
and thats how people are doing it in your country
those responsibilities because
the child services are going to go after you
so some people are like
you know what
I don't want to be..
I don't want my kid to
be like that you know
I don't want my kid to be totally spoiled
and do whatever the hell
he or she wants that person needs
needs a lesson and that's how you are
going to be successful in life
all right
so that's kind of a mentality for many of the immigrants
and they come here and
the kids are running around the supermarket
destroying
destroying the place
destroying in the crowd and
the parents be like oh please stop
oh please stop
you try to do that with my mom in Ukraine or my dad
you know my my
my butt
would be flying all over the supermarket
if it happened
I had a chance where my dad was chasing me
around the supermarket in Qatar
it was freaking insane people are looking
I'm like that chubby little guy running
around and my dad is chasing me
with the cart
Well that's my childhood
In Canada you do like that
cops are going to go after you
and if you tell it to a Canadian
how you were raised in your home country
they say oh my god
oh my god
Really did that happen to you?!
oh my god
Reason number 9 guys
is weather of course
okay if you're in Calgary
like myself it's it gets - 30 -45 here
it's really dry so your skin on the lips
is always dry
your legs are cracking because of the dry conditions
because of their atmosphere
and it's freaking cold in winter
the temperature can drop 30 40
degrees in one hour sometimes
because of the chinook attack where I mentioned in
one of my videos
I'll pop it up somewhere here
if I find it!
guys it's
crazy the weather is here is crazy
it gets cold in the winter and it's not
that hot in summer in Calgary for example
and if you go back to Ontario
the humidity in Ontario is just going to eat you up
guys it's so freaking humid there
so when it's minus 20
and yeah it
you would think it's
it's not as cold as in here
but it's humid so humid air with
minus 20
freaking just go through
your clothes
just penetrates you inside out
and you just freaking freeze there
unless you're dressed properly
with the wind and everything
and also in the summer
when it's very humid and it's +35
like it's just you know just it's a
freaking so hot
so it's insane and yeah guys
some people can't tolerate this kind
of weather changes
some people cannot go to such northern countries
some people
who are coming from tropical countries
for example somewhere closer to equator
those guys are like
what the hell is wrong with this country ?
I know people who are saying in India
I didn't have to wear.. like I just wear flip-flops
and I wear my t-shirt and I wear my shorts
and I go to a supermarket
here you have to check the temperature outside
here you have to check what's the weather forecast
then you decide what you take with you
and also sometimes you have to
have an umbrella with you just in case
because it might change in any moment
especially if you live in Calgary
you come out from home when it's +20 and
you go home when it is plus five
and reason #10 guys is high expectations
some people come into Canada
they have higher expectations than their reality
they look at the YouTube videos
they look at the praise...most of my videos
where I praise Canada
and they create such as expectations that are not even real
so they are not being realistic
they're like I'll come to Canada
I'll make a lot of money
I'll raise a great family
I'll get a job right away or buy an expensive house
I'll buy an expensive car
All of this together guys and then all of a sudden
everything changes
because expectations were higher
than the reality
so you basically start thinking that just heaven on earth
which by the way I think it is guys
but you come here and
you realize how difficult it is
to succeed here, to work, to achieve something
and then people's expectations
versus reality they don't meet and
that's why people are like
you know what I'm giving up, I'm going back
so higher expectations are
another reason for
depression
well guys it's not that bad
I just wanted to give you an idea so you
you understand a little bit insider information
because some people they do
leave this country they do leave and
what what you gonna do guys they come here
and then they get depressed
because of the expectations
because of all this thing
not everyone is a leaving though
there is at least a million ways to
succeed here and
it is a beautiful country
I think in the best country to
live and raise your kids
get a job you can really be really really really successful
you just have to be willing to change
you just have to be willing to
adapt and accept the current culture
just understand more of the people here
and you're going to succeed
and also be patient guys just be patient
you come to a new culture
try to understand it more
try to learn it more
try to accept it more
don't stick to your one community
reach out and meet them and make as many
as possible Canadian friends
who can show you around
and then you are going
to start to see things that
where you were wrong
with your thinking
and why I am saying you guys is because
I was wrong when I came here with many things
and when I realized it
that's when I started understanding how awesome this country is..
and that I was actually wrong in my way of thinking and
my misconceptions, my stereotypes to Western people
they faded away because
I realized how cultures are pretty much similar
and that the way that Canadians
are doing with the kids and the cultural and diversity
and the open-mindedness
how it helps out the society
and the root cause analysis of it
I embraced it
and that's why I became happy in this country
and I'm not planning to leave it
