Living in Toronto now means you are surviving or drowning. That feeling of running in one place sucks. Made the decision to buy a house in Calgary. Moving end of year, and I hope life becomes enjoyable again. Hope everyone makes the decision to leave for greener pastures where ever that might be for you.
I hope it all goes well for you. Love to see people chasing happiness
Smart!
I’m a Torontonian living in Colombia. I have a five bedroom in a great neighborhood in Medellin for $800/month. Everyone sounds depressed back home.
Wow this is amazing
facts.. we are all depressed lol
Wow where do you rent?

Wow! You must be enjoying drinking freshly brewed Colombian coffee every day....
I left Canada 4 days ago, will never look back. Spent 4 years studying & working in here. At first, they advertise themselves as a freedom country with plenty of opportunities for young people, especially for those who well-educated. Turns out, even if we follow their rules of game, they still discriminate us based on "Canadian Experience", as well as took a lot from us for taxes. I felt like I was living in Canada not as a human, but as a tax-payer
AS AN IMPORTED SLAVE .........
@@Oliver-fs2ep More like slave masked as international student
I heard that the only reason why Canadian experience matters to them is because they don't want to call non-Canadian phone numbers to check your references because they don't want to pay for those calls. But what if I worked for American companies all my life and all the numbers in my references start with +1 just like they do in Canada? Would they accept it?
@@antoninaorlova2169 Sorry I am not so sure about this.
@@antoninaorlova2169 Also they want to know if you will get along well in a Canadian work environment, not quit after few days coz you are awkward. Most immigrants forget that hiring someone cost the employer money.
Grew up Canada and I hate it ; you expressed the problems well . WEF and politicians are making life miserable and the Canadian folk are too passive to oppose tyrannical government.
You're so right
What is WEF
@@maybernardino4845 WEF= World Economic Forum.
Born and raised Torontonian, and I hate it here. I can't wait to leave. Main reasons - cost of living and people have become horrible (rude, sadistic, ill-mannered).
I think people have become more I’ll mannered since the pandemic generally
I left Toronto for Thailand six months ago and never been happier. Only miss riding my fixed gear bike. The lack of empathy and zombies is depressing. Was a great city late 90's early 2000's now it's just negative. Leave if you can there isn't even anything fun to do in Toronto anymore. Be well everyone.
Glad to hear you’re happy in Thailand friend
Good stuff ... i go to Philippines and hate coming back to this crap ....
I heard on the news that Toronto is the most congested city in North America.
I was born here, and growing up in the 60's was wonderful. People were nice and friendly and helpful to each other.
I now hate it!
My daughter and her husband and sons moved to nfld. They are so happy there. Hubby and I want to move there also, however my 90 year old mother is still here and I'm the only one to take care of her. My brother moved to BC years ago.
I'm so fed up with the premier and his rich developer friends try to build more and more housing out here where there are farms and green space, and alot of wildlife and marshes.
They keep bringing more people into our country and parking them mostly in Toronto, so between the construction everywhere and the over crowding, it's a nightmare.
I know I probably seem horrible to some people, but I've seen so much change in the 62 years that I've lived here, and it's NOT for the better.
There is so much wrong and in the wrong priority thanks to the people in power.
Anyway, enough of my ranting. I'm done!
I retired and hated the weather in the GTA and the cost of living is out of control. Moved to Mexico, much happier here.
Down here in Mexico a semi-furnished studio apartment in a smallish, very safe beach town is $560 per month. That includes all utilities, internet, and I even added into that cost Mexican healthcare insurance which covers regular doctors visits, hospital stays, surgeries, doctor prescribed medications and basic dental visits.
Sorry I know this is an older comment but is mexico as scary as the media makes it out to be? Have you seen any crime or felt unsafe for the women in your life?
@Chris Hansen - HI Chris! You ask a good question. The short answer is "it depends". It would be like if someone asked "is living in the USA dangerous? Same thing!
If you live in some neighborhoods in Baltimore, South Side Chicago, East LA etc..., yes, it can be dangerous. However, if you live in Bar Harbor Maine or Martha's Vineyard, it is quite safe.
Mexico is a huge country. Some parts of the country are indeed quite dangerous, while other areas are very safe.
You are saddly gentrifying the city for the native inhabitants of the city. Mexicans cannot afford to live in their big cities nowadays because of first world country inhabitants making rents too high.
@@hugobourgon198 - Guilty as charged! ☹️
which part of Mexico?
I visited my friend in Toronto about 4 years ago and was shocked at the litter, the graffiti, security guards in every isle of the grocery store. I was disgusted at what this city has become.
@@angl8748that wa 20byrs ago or back in 70s and 80s and 90s
Most overrated city on the planet.
The subway is memorable.
Glad im not only one
Salaries are too low, city is kind of dull, too cold. It's nice in the Summer and the diversity is great but it's not worth the high cost of living.
Quite accurate
I live in Canada for 56 years, and the cost of living now is unbelievable back them, when I lived in Toronto I paid 300 dollars for 2 bedrooms back in 1975 , my shared was 150.00 , food for two for a month 180.00 , the most expensive to rent was 900 dólares for 2 bedrooms, parking included, but them again top salaries was around 15,000 a year , life was so F..great , l got lucky to lived the best time of my life , today life is cruel , misery, all around ,back in the 70 we never seen homelessness, people sleeping in tent was for camping , drugs was just good weed, the era of the flower child , l really missed that era , I wish I could wake-up in those days
and tell my friends that a had a dream of the future and was very scary , but reality is here now the bad dream continues
Go where you feel most appreciated; The world is way too big to stay in Canada. 😅
I live in Mississauga I lived here in 2012 to 2016 and moved back , and I will say there is a very huge jump in expense in terms of rent and the lifestyle .
(1) if you in the city or close is very expensive.
(2) it is true there are alot of couch surfers and roommate situations happening.
(3) Have a big family in Canada is bad idea because food and daily expenses can fluctuate according to the price of gas or stock market.
(4) if you a first time car owner your premiums will be super high , people buy homes with basements to rent them to add income to help pay off for the same house - on the flip side mortgage payments can fluctuate according to the bank’s interest rate then you are screwed . A lot of people here are house poor .
(5) the winters are much colder you WILL work more than two jobs.
(6) you will work till you die , people lie on there resumes to get certain types of jobs.
(7) When you move to toronto do not have an expensive belly or eat out a lot because it’s EXPENSIVE there was a food shortage in the grocery stores in September.
(8) The crime rate has increased , there are alot more shootings.
(9) Animals are treated and accepted in there clinics faster than you going to a hospital.
(10) Be very wary what real estate agent or company you purchase a home or condo from because there are a lot of scammers .
(11) This is the latest : if you can’t pay your bills / or you have large amounts of debt you have to apply for bankruptcy and design payments with the debt collector and then do a financial course.
(12) UNFORTUNATELY they made self deletion legal here . Where is you think you can’t afford to live ( meaning you have no money or the means to make money because of a handicap or health issue) they have created that option . Just evil
You said it all. Canada is not as it used to be, people working harder only to see less money and lower quality of life
@@KingKay that’s because of the financial institutions that control the monopoly here . Only 5 banks and all Canadian factories and food distributers. It’s a recipe for control for domination and less choice for the citizens.
Very accurate assessment . Thanks for sharing
@@jahhshvillegas where’d you go ? State side ?
@@RatherBeCancelledThanHandled i live in Florida, but i travel all the time!
Toronto is crazy to live in , i would live in my car to get out that city..Getting 2 jobs is bs just to survive.
Facts
I’m from the US and travel a lot for work. I’ve been to more cities in North America than I can count. I also have family there. I have been to Toronto twice and I am not impressed at all!. It’s expensive, few jobs with low pay and on top of that it’s a very unfriendly city that has been invaded by third world country people that have very tight clicks and won’t allow anyone to enter so getting a job might be very hard.
its been taken over by Indians.
Great video, you're a very intelligent guy. I'm from Sherbrooke in Québec which is the cheapest city to live in the whole country. If living here is a struggle I can't imagine how it is over there. Really love Toronto but everything is way too expensive.
That's crazy, thanks for sharing that information
Thank you for sharing your views on what is happening in Toronto. It is interesting to see the rise in videos which speak to the difficulties of living in Canada, from a Canadian and immigrant's perspective. Hopefully things get better in the future. I do hold Canadian citizenship (by descent), and love the idea of moving to Canada, but the current reality of what is happening there now is making me turn down the idea (high rents/housing, low salaries, high cost of living, failing healthcare system).
Been in Toronto for the past 39 years. I love this city. As a kid I also lived in woodbridge and mississauga, but my heart will always belong to Toronto
I live in Melbourne AU, and lived in Toronto in 2017-2018. There's no way I could afford to live in Toronto now (I was working in Hospitality). Canada and Australia have the same issues (except pay in Australia is much better in the lower-mid range of work). The compounding inequality is a trait of late stage capitalism, largely due to when there's a high concentration of wealth in the older generation. When you pump up immigration and don't build enough houses, it creates artificial scarcity. It's a feature not a bug - they want people taking the full 30 years on their mortgages, so they have a tax base.
Only the people who can’t afford to live in Toronto are leaving. I just moved here it’s not that bad. Just depends on what your income is.
A very detailed and informative video....thanks brother...
The world is full of uncertainties at the moment..nobody knows what will happen in 10 years time to come...thats why almost everyone has mental health issues ....
Thanks glad you found it informative
@@KingKay
King Kay are you into music production by any chance...or do you know people who are in the music industry...I am from Africa I am looking for networking with artists in Canada
You are telling the truth borther.
We moved from southern Ontario 4 years ago for New Brunswick..it’s far more peaceful and prices are more affordable. The people are also great..
When you move provinces, say youre from Manitoba, and for the love of god, DO NOT bid the price up. If you feel the need to bid up the price, stay in Toronto!!
The average price in 2017 of a 1 bedroom was $1600 and a bachelor was about $1300. Just wanna make sure we don't blow this out of proportion. Rent being high in the city isn't new.
Those numbers are incorrect. Maybe for a high end condo
Okay to leave GTA but wherever you go, remember to leave this Toronto values and attitudes behind.
This was very well presented. Thank you!
Good video men! Everything changed in Canada after Covid. It is not easy now! Thank you for sharing your experience. U don't have much money they put u out of Toronto crazy 😞
Do you really believe EVERYONE is leaving Toronto...
Good video men and thank u for informations 👍
I left my large 1 bedroom at Jane/steeles at $988 in late 2017
I can’t imagine the rent now
Trust!
All really great points.
Thanks
I grew up in Toronto, even 10 years ago it was lame and a struggle. You just had a freshies high nothing more
Factssss
Yes yes
Mighty facts!
Yessir
My friend moved out of Toronto because the rent was too much for him he moved to Prince Edward Island which i heard is much cheaper.
yeah its gonna be definitely cheaper there
@@KingKay I'm considering moving there I need to get out of Toronto or other cities
@@olivierjoseph8218 Goodluck to you.Also check out alberta
I will
Yup leaving ontario i csnt afford to put all my mkney i worked so hard for just for a high congested rent bill when i can use that money and travel and be free so good bye toronto
Toronto is a great city if you have money. If you own houses before the prices skyrocketed you are sitting on a gold mine. Moving away makes sense for renters.
I personally feel that finally Toronto has got the influence of sharing borders with New York
Toronto is becoming the second New York.
The only thing I miss about Toronto are my friends/ family, photography opportunities, and the freaks 🍑
The weather is horrible miserable that prompts snow birders to spend their hard earned money in the south for some refuge
You guys better start that underground Abnb! I came there for short visits before cv. Now CA is opened to no vax, I wanna come back! Throw an air mattress down and collect that cash from people like me! And I'm talking around hotel rates! Just saying!
Coming to Toronto humber college soon as an international student. Is it advisable to live outside Toronto and where is the best place to get an apartment outside of Toronto with a more affordable rent
Depends on if it’s the north campus or lakeshore campus but generally Brampton, Scarborough and Etobicoke are relatively good prices depending on what you’re looking for. Don’t live too far if you don’t drive
Houseing expenses and food costs don't even think of being disabled , you have no rights
Moving back to Antarctica! Enough of that Toronto nonsense!😂
This issue isn't exclusive to Canada. It's happening worldwide. It's obvious that the most populated cities will have a higher cost of living.
move to Jamaica
Can you highlight the benefits ?
@@KingKay great people, great opportunities for people,property is cheap, and of course great weather. Stop moving to white people cities and help your own.
Benefits of living in Jamaica:
(1) The weather is Awesome all year long.
(2) The people are very friendly and full of good vibes.
(3) The food, the culture, the music are great with lots of events and great hotels to visit.
(4) If you earning foriegn currency while living in Jamaica you would live a great life because that foriegn dollar when converted to Jamaican currency would be a lot.
CONS of living in Jamaica:
(1) The crime rate is high.
(2) Cost of living is high.
Toronto’s population is still growing at between 1 and 1.2% per year for the last 10 years.
Leafs lose to much!...loll...
We are migrating from third world country to come to canada so we can witness why people are leaving or is it VIDEO CONTENT OR FOR TH-cam VIERS
Canada dejo de ser lo que era. Las casas subieron 4 veces su valor en 20 anios y el sueldo no subio ni lo doble.
welfare cuts
What a grim picture he paints
Came down to the west coast from George Street ...it's warst than George Street in Hastings ....holaaay
Rents worst here too in Vancouver wish I stayed the bullets were worth it
You have to decide whether or not to pronounce the second 't'. Don't be flip flopping!
