With over 500,000 immigrants per year, Canada is one of the most attractive immigration countries on earth.
Welcome, welcome
Not only do some 500,000 permanent immigrants come to Canada each year, the country also has enormous appeal for temporary immigrants.
Hundreds of thousands also come to Canada on a study visa or a work visa, every year.
That, in itself, is no wonder. The country is growing rapidly, the economic situation is excellent, and the possibilities are almost endless.
Population growth continues to grow while the country's diversity continues to increase.
What the country has to offer
The country is beautiful and spacious, almost everyone agrees. With mountains, forests, oceans, and stunning scenery, it's practically impossible to get bored.
Many immigrants flock to the largest cities: Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and even Calgary. These cities, with millions of inhabitants, are particularly attractive to large groups of immigrants.
Others prefer smaller towns, villages, or simply want to be surrounded by nature. It's all possible.
So, is Canada a great country or not?
Yes, of course, Canada is a fantastic country. The space, the nature, the endless possibilities, the friendly people—oh, it's not hard to go on and on about the positive aspects of the country.
There are countless books and websites highlighting the positive aspects of Canada. There's really little to add to that. That's not the purpose of this website.
We specifically look at the circumstances of people who didn't make it in Canada and who ultimately left. Generally, their departure was likely due to discomfort or dissatisfaction. We're particularly interested in learning more about that. Because what one person experienced might be of value to others.
Anyone who doesn't like Canada isn't crazy. As fantastic as the country is, it's not for everyone. Everyone can decide for themselves where they'd most like to be. Here, there, or somewhere else. Isn't that kind of freedom wonderful?

Unintentionally offensive
It's not exactly difficult to point out things in Canada that aren't going so well. Things could be better, one might say. But isn't that true everywhere? Fortunately, you can always find things that could be done differently.
People often find it quite irritating when someone expresses dissatisfaction with local circumstances, as they simply are. As a non-Canadian in Canada, you encounter this too, no matter how well-intentioned your comment may be. Canadians get annoyed when you say "something." It's usually better to keep your mouth shut.
There's some logic to this. Canadians have been consistently taught that Canada is the best country in the world. Or perhaps the only country in the world? In any case, it's the only country anyone would want to live in. The rest of the world is incredibly scary for most Canadians.
People quickly consider it rude and ungrateful if you think you have a say. But above all, if you don't like it in Canada, then get lost. There are hundreds of thousands of others queuing in your place.
