Will you still do it even if you're single? Or your kids were the greatest factor in your decision? Asking for a friend who is earning a six figure income but still having second thoughts.
Yeah…Each of us have our reasons pero what resonated the most is about the system dito sa bansa…I think we’re doing ok where we are but yung quality of life and safety is what I’m after…I’m a part of the system din sa teaching and I’m not happy na…like I’m an excellent worker but ipinagkakait ang promotion because I don’t know how to play office politics…plus education has become so mediocre na and too complicated…Isali mo pa yung issues about discpline, parent issues, etc…etc…So yeah…I just hope my prayers will be granted to eventually make it in Ca. As Ms Sigrid said, I love the Philippines but I love my children more!
Hi Ina, you’re right to say that not all who chose to leave the country are poor. I’m a successful doctor in the Philippines but decided to leave because I reached the peak of my career. I didn’t see any professional growth and I left Philippines when I turned 50. I shared same reasons to majority who came to Canada. I don’t regret coz I’m experienced to be an ordinary person in Canada. I like to share my story in your blog but I want to remain anonymous coz I’d been interviewed several times by media people.
Sobrang inspiring niyo Sigrid! My wife and I are also in the same set up with you here in Vancouver. I agree it's not perfect but at least here we feel that we have a more even playing field opportunity wise, and better government services.
Until 2020 (pandemic), most lifelong Canadians would have proudly & quickly said Canada is a great place. For multiple generations (young & old). It still is in many ways. But like all countries, a bunch of things have made life more difficult lately. During the COVID lockdowns, many people went wild wanting to buy a house (urban & rural). Increasing demand and rising prices. Not long after, inflation caused mortgage rates especially to rise. Rent costs soared too. People interested in working in hospitals declined. Less doctors etc.. Simultaneously in Canada, the number of people coming by air, land and boat to claim asylum skyrocketed. For example, in 2023 alone, in just one region (Central Canada) around 400 people arrived per day (on average). Ditto for other populated provinces. Also the number of international students SKYROCKETED too. In 2023, averaging around 2,000 per day across Canada. Hospitals then hit with many wanting free healthcare. Less doctors/nurses etc., means greater waiting times. A severe housing crisis has occurred in many western countries including in Canada. In ways not seen in people's lifetimes. The majority trying to migrate to Canada recently have been from South Asia. And it's become extremely obvious to Canadians. Even those that are very used to much diversity & many cultures. Plus neighborhoods now know that international students are primarily using a 'back door' ticket to come to Canada for permanent residency. No one says it in public amongst strangers, but everyone knows because they've witnessed the extreme PR frenzy firsthand by now. To many Canadians it has felt like a huge tidal wave that has reached all cities, and even all small towns, with a post secondary school. This extreme situation NEVER existed prior to 5 years ago. Bottom-line. Now westerners want the money greedy agents (pseudo smugglers) in other countries to stop marketing/lying to their own people about access to PR or citizenship … or accommodation/jobs … being easy (to get). And for any greedy people living in western countries to be ashamed of themselves if they're hurting students. People doing things to make $ off of people's PR desires or desperation. At best, there is a 30% chance of gaining PR (unless you are masters or in medicine etc). Not all players across the board have acted honestly over the years, i.e. false asylum claims, contract marriages (IELTS spouse), anchor babies, fraud. Canada has asked the India government to prevent “ghost consulting”. The PRIVATE (non-public) colleges are especially being investigated (including looking for very strong oversea ties). Canadians are meeting students who showed Canada they have savings to live off, but it turns out some only borrowed it for the application process. Canadian food banks and other charity services have been advertised on TH-cam (by India students in Indian language). Many transit services have launched stricter rules, i.e. lost bus passes registered in your name are now NEVER replaced (unlike before). Then this year throw in all the Palestinian vs Israeli angry protests happening regularly in cities. Plus the Sikh vs Hindu violence/extortion primarily happening in Ontario and British Columbia. Plus the Canadian government also recently launched investigations in regards to foreign interference in Canadian elections. All stemming from Asia continent. Hate crimes have gone from rare to occasional (primarily South Asians against South Asians). Canadians are so so so not used to all this. So many, who have embraced multi-culturalism and immigration for decades are now very worried and fearful (due to all of the above). And all are praying it doesn't turn into great anger (like in the USA). Canadians want multi-culturism to succeed … and for all people to be okay. Everyone I know is very happy with Canada Immigration's recent changes (reductions & investigations). Including multi-generational Asian-Canadians where many have been the most upset (by all of this). PS Canadians LOVE people from The Philippines. Your culture is VERY liked and fits in VERY well.
I for one lived in the largest gated community in Muntinlupa for a few decades. Still decided to come to Canada for a better future not for me but for my kids. Till this day, seeing the kind of jobs & life of my kids have not an iota of regret. In fact, it was the best. Aside from this, I personally know a number of top executives in the largest banks, life insurance, pilots, persons collecting rents on numerous properties, etc in the community I lived also decide to come to Canada for their children
Thanks for sharing. If you or any of your friends are interested in sharing your story in the vlog, would love to hear it! Please just shoot me an email inanutshellvlog@gmail.com

I don't need to sacrifice my career for my kids by moving to another country. My kids after they graduate from University can decide where they want to work and live. My daughter, for instance, wants to work in the UK after she graduates from College. I don't need to move the whole family to the UK so that my daughter can work there someday. She's perfectly capable mentally and physically to move there on her own when she reaches adulthood.
Mailap na mailap po hanggang ngayon ang ibig sabihin ng 'Public Servant'....in the truest sense of the word, ika nga.😿 Disclaimer: Hindi naman po lahat.💥 But I'm praying really hard that our loving God will intervene.🙏 To alleviate poverty & for Filipino families to get by really, really soon.🙏 This i must say, The Welfare of the People is the Supreme Law. Hopefully, Ms Ina...hindi lang po sya mananatiling 'kasabihan' lang. Maganda lang pakinggan. Bagkus, mararanasan ng malaking porsyento ng populasyon ang magkakaroon ng magandang buhay, in our lifetime, hopefully.🙏 Thanks Ms Ina for sharing this video with us...sincerely appreciate it po.😘 Tc!⚘🍃⚘
Maybe some people immigrate to and live in Canada/ US not for more financial opportunities but more for “privilege” opportunities. Most people probably won’t admit but the status of being a “Canadian (or American) citizen, government protection for being such a citizen, the ability to travel to about 189 countries visa free, the power of the Canadian / American money, higher standardized home ownership, is more attractive than being just plainly “wealthy and well to do” in the Philippines. Whether we like to admit or not, “foreign based / resident” Filipinos feel a more privileged status within themselves and whether they care or not, they are perceived as someone of “higher standing” by their friends and loved ones in the Philippines. Lastly, whether we like to admit or not, we have the mentality of a better life by emigration to the western world. 17:25 Agreed. Government Corruption inspires emigration mostly of upstanding citizens who are dissatisfied with how the nation is run.
I think Canada is not a good option kasi sobrang lamig jan. Mas gusto ko sa warm and temperate climate pa din. And tama ka traffic in the Philippines can be a reason why people leave. Para kang sardinas sa Pinas. May mga tao kasi na masaya sa maingay at madaming tao or tambay sa labas pero merong tao na mas prefer ung ghost town walking dead ambiance ng abroad ung Tipong di mo kilala kapitbahay mo
Hi Ina, I'm your new subscriber, just found out your vlog. Sinimulan ko yung una mong vlog nasa fourth vlog na ako when I decided to watch your latest one so I can make a comment.
sad to say po..and madami po mattrigger..hindi lang po gobyerno ang problema ng pilipinas..but also ang mga tao..kaya po hirap talaga umunlad ang bansa natin..hindi ko naman nilalahat ang mga pinoy..
kung baga, don't put your eggs in one basket...tama yan habang nagtratrabaho may business, kc pagnag retired na as employee pagmay business na na establish, kahit retired ka na busy ka na sa pagfocus sa papalago ng business...hirap din pag retired na maninibago katawan mo kc wala na work at mas lalong mahirap pagwala na pumapasok na income, bills never stop 😊
Ang gusto ko is LA kasi madaming gyms and spa. Ako lang yata natutuwa sa ganyan. An average Pinoy ang concern lang is trabaho, malaking sahod. Ako lang natutuwa na sa America malaki ung Costco madaming selections compared sa Landers and SNR. Ako lang natutuwa na advanced ung medicine dito and madaming alternative medicines available vs sa Pinas. Kasi mostly ang concern ng Pinoy sa America is gun violence, discrimination, loneliness. Tapos ang namimiss nila sa Pinas mga tambay, magulo maingay kasi masaya daw un tapos inuman. Anong paki ko sa inuman di naman ako umiinom and galit ako sa mga tambay. Galit din ako sa high standards ng Pinas kuno pero 3rd world naman. Like pag matanda ka na discriminated ka na sa work. Tapos ang aarte ng mga HR. Ung ganyang backward thinking. Tapos matinding traffic from point a to b wala ka nang naaccomplish naubos na lahat sa traffic.
What makes you think you'd be noticeable in Manila? I walk around the city and people just mind their own business. Unless you're planning to tape your Blue Canadian Passport on your forehead and yell to everyone that you're better than them
Me too at home. Im a student since Jan 2023, got eCOPR this july 2024 thru my OWP. We planned everything and most importantly prayers. I look forward too to ms Ina always when she speaks.. I love her voice. its a music to my ears.
That's not a misconception that's reality. Majority of those who go abroad is because maliit kita sa Pinas minority lang ung other reasons aside from that. Please correct that para di ka magmukhang insensitive and defensive.
Palagay ko hindi lang gobyerno ang problema ng Pilipinas. I used to blame the govt too but sa ibat ibang admin ng govt thru the decades , lagi naman may problema. Let’s admit, it’s more complicated. Ppl will migrate for whatever reason, and that’s their choice. Maybe ppl shld just stop judging, kahit gusto lang nila makakita ng snow. As long as migrants own up to their choice and if things doesn’t work out, they do not blame others.
Since you're getting Canadian benefits such as free schooling for your children, how do you declare your foreign earnings as well as assets to CRA. Is there a separate tax return you need to fill in?
Your content keeps getting better. Perhaps, interview a realtor/broker on the process of buying a home , you may ask Hussein Kabani who has help a lot of our kababayan already. He is very articulate, competent and nice guy
"some friends of mine" - what the fuck is that kind of reasoning? Anecdotal reference or do we go by the numbers? Of course nasa bubble ka ng social class mo so don't be insensitive sa plight ng majority ng mahirap sa Pinas
I disagree. Your business did not thrive if Philippines govt and the system is corrupt. You even managing offline remotely. That means, you are dependent in Philippines economy and what it offers by the govt. Why not bring here and see the difference of how the govt operates? It is not a business wise decision to relocate but personal like many of us in Canada.
Relate na relate po ako dito. Hindi po sa pagyayabang po, maganda na po ang buhay namin sa pilipinas. 6 digits na sweldo, may mga naipundar na din pero pinili kong ilipat ang pamilya ko dito at makipagsapalaran dito. Napakaganda ng Pilipinas pero sinisira po ito ng pulitika at sistema ng pamamalakad ng mga namumuno. Ito po talaga ang dahilan kung bat mas ginusto ko dito. Walang perpektong sistema pero ang lantarang kalokohan at kapalpakan talaga ang nakakasuka na. :)
Agree!
Kami rin po ay naging biktima sa maling pamamaraan ng pulitika, pag hindi mo ibinoto yung politician ay medyo mahihirapan ka na sa pagkuha ng business permit pag sya ang nanalo kayat yung niece ko ay nagpaplanong mangibang bansa nalang. Although ngayon ay okey na pero takot lang nya baka maulit ang ganun, depende kasi sa nakaupo.
Will you still do it even if you're single? Or your kids were the greatest factor in your decision? Asking for a friend who is earning a six figure income but still having second thoughts.
Agree. If we only have politicians that their intention is to serve the Philippines, is much better off, and progress is much faster.
Tama, nakakasuka na dito sa pinas
Yeah…Each of us have our reasons pero what resonated the most is about the system dito sa bansa…I think we’re doing ok where we are but yung quality of life and safety is what I’m after…I’m a part of the system din sa teaching and I’m not happy na…like I’m an excellent worker but ipinagkakait ang promotion because I don’t know how to play office politics…plus education has become so mediocre na and too complicated…Isali mo pa yung issues about discpline, parent issues, etc…etc…So yeah…I just hope my prayers will be granted to eventually make it in Ca.

Sana Ma'am Ina, mag daily vlog ka din. Pasyal around Toronto and other areas of Ontario with the family. Good luck sa inyo and God bless! 😉
Naku! 😅 Will think about it, pero nakakahiya dahil baka masyadong boring ang mga "day in the life" ko. Hehehe

Since you're getting Canadian benefits such as free schooling for your children, how do you declare your foreign earnings as well as assets to CRA. Is there a separate tax return you need to fill in?
What about taxation being a resident of canada one has to declare foreign earned income.Grabe maningil yan si CRA
Your content keeps getting better. Perhaps, interview a realtor/broker on the process of buying a home , you may ask Hussein Kabani who has help a lot of our kababayan already. He is very articulate, competent and nice guy
I'm actually interviewing one on Wed! 😊 Will post it maybe a week after.
Thank you so much!!
Kahit mayaman ka sa Pinas hindi ka exempted sa sobrang traffic,corruption,riding in tandem at mga kamote drivers.
Korek!
Agree.
True! I love Philippines 🇵🇭
Pero ang hirap lumigaya if walang peace of mind ✌️
@user-fi7xo8kt7m you are right.
Pero mas malala naman yung buhay impyerno 😆
@user-fi7xo8kt7m Where did I say lahat ay born sa Canada?
pwede naman kahit hindi buhay langit buhay impyerno pa choice of words mo. Lol
