- After growing up and setting down deep roots in Canada, we made the decision to uproot our life and start over. Watch to find out why and subscribe for future videos to follow our journey.
Your support means so much to me and my family. Thank you!
Smart move! Congrats! I left and now live in Italy in my parents' home town. Canada has turned into a DUMP, so it was the best decision I ever made
Thanks! Glad to hear you found yourself a good alternative, all the best.
The lieberal/ndp hate-party has made Canada a dumpster fire…
left canada 25 years ago and have no regret! Blessing!
May I ask where you moved to?
@@Frieda_Wiebe
Back to Hongkong where i was raised and borned.Nowadays I do not have to bear the cost of living crisis and already half retired.
@@gohfai That's awesome!
My wife and I have slowly came to this realization. We plan to leave.
It the sad new reality. Any ideas on where you would be going?
It is not easy to raise a family in Canada because the cost of living is so high and salaries don’t keep up with inflation! Good luck!
Friend if the salary kept up it wouldnt be inflation/tax on the masses.
Please tell that to the Trudeau corrupted Government!
It’s extremely difficult for young families. My wife had to stay at home and I work 3 different jobs. I made good money but I was never home. The worst was when I filled for taxes and CRA says I owe them 12k my first question was my 3 kids don’t qualify for any social programs because of my income how do I owe you guys. You tax me on everything. Even the piano lessons the boys attend I pay for . Then interest rate started to rise my income started to shrink due to the cost I had to put towards mortgage. This put a lot of Stress on my marriage. I did everything right. I worked hard some occasions sleeping in my car but it was not enough my wife asked for separation due to her thinking I don’t want to work too support them anymore. But the reverse is the case. I just felt defeated how do I sacrifice so much but every year CRA comes after me. So I quit the other 2 jobs. The past couple years the liberals have passed some laws to devalue the ideas of family. I just feel the nuclear family, and marriage is under attack.
Exactly, it's getting increasingly difficult.
@@oluwatomirhodes795 It is all set up so backwards! Set up to be dependant on their handouts and being attacked from all angles. From schools to divorce laws and the way people get taxed..
As a Canadian senior I can tell you Canada is slowly dying and I would love to retire in Paraguay
So sad to watch it happen. Paraguay is a great place to retire!
Canada used to be a great place to live. The healthcare system was very efficient because you didn’t have to wait for months to see a doctor or have an operation. The education system was excellent. Today, although the Government collects a tremendous amount of income taxes yet many issues have not been addressed. Crime is horrendous in the big cities, transportation is over crowded, the so called free health care is collapsing because they have not increased the number of medical students in Canadian universities, buying a house is out of reach for the hard working Canadians because the government allowed foreign money launderers and other speculators to push house prices in uncharted territory.
Spot on. It was great when we moved to Canada 20 years ago but reality is, I couldn't give my own children the good life there like our parents were able to.
@@Frieda_Wiebe I totally agree.
I left Canada 20 years ago. I miss everything about it. The forest, the lakes, the pristine environment, the people....my family. I don't miss the financial stress, anxiety and boom/bust economy. It's just too hard on my mental health.
I couldn't agree more. These are all things I would also have loved to keep as well.
All these stresses though is something I was looking forward to leaving behind but never imagined just how freeing it would be. Very relieved.
Where did you move to??
@@kemangraya2382 Japan and now Thailand.
I have left and returned to Toronto, Canada twice now, each time starting over, once at 25 years of age and once at 47. I will be leaving Toronto in a few years but not Canada. Both my daughters have decided to leave Canada when they can, one will be moving back to Germany and the other wants to move to New Zealand. Canada is paradise if you come from a third world country but unless you are very financially successful or born into wealth, Canada has become impossible to live in if you were born and raised here, especially if you start over again. I came back for family reasons but would have not returned if I didn't have to.
Your daughters went from bad to worse on living locations I feel. Germany is toast, NZ is a prison island. Tough calls to make.
You said that right. There are some young couples leaving here for Canada which, if I hadn't lived there, I could see a glimpse of why but not after our experiences. I wish you the best and same for your daughters!
Germany and New Zealand? New Zealand has become as authoritarian as Canada, Germany is in self destruct mode. I wouldn’t know where to move, but I agree Canada is in a downward spiral, because of our current government and I’m not sure that a Conservative government, would be much of an improvement, good luck to you and your family.
@@vs8909 it is very different being in a 3rd world country and I would say it is for those that enjoy a simple life as long as you don't have to dealing with government officials being a hassle.
@@vs8909 I hope you find something that's right for you.
After hearing lot of negative reports I have decided to drop my Canadian PR interview in July. Now I feel that my decision was correct. Any how all the best for your future.
I believe you made a wise decision. Thank you!
ANYONE POSTED A " WHY WE LEFT or SHOULD LEAVE CANADA ", I WILL GIVE A 👍👍👍!
Thanks! It's hard to believe how much it has changed from when my parents moved us there for a better life and now my husband and I took our kids out for a better life.
Share your history.
Most people don't realize its a Global War..
Thank you for sharing your story. So sorry to lose such a lovely family. I am too old to move but I truly wish I could. I wish you and your family peace of mind, love and prosperity!
Thank you Nanette! Well wishes to you too.
We want to move 54 and 60 I feel I still can !
Many people are considering making the same kind of move that you have made. Canada used to be a good place to live, but has changed so much in the last 10 or 15 years. Good luck to you and your family.
It is very different from 20 years ago when my parents moved there. I bet they never thought it would be what it is today. Thank you!
Thanks for telling the truth. Otherwise we might be think to move there and wasted our everything.❤
You bet!
Hi!
Very curious to learn more about how things are in Paraguay. Jobs, ppl, health care etc. And best of luck!
absolutely! Plan on making some of these my next couple of videos. Thank you.
One word….excellent 🤠👍
Good video, thanks for telling your story.
thank you and you're welcome.
I want to know more about what was last straw that pushed your family to consider starting over in another country. I guess I have woken-up a bit. Over half of the people I knew in high school do not live in the same city anymore. Most people have gone to other provinces with more opportunities. My brother himself left twice since there were no opportunities here. I never thought about leaving as I thought as long as I had a decent job that pays alright, I can survive here. But I never got paid decently and even lost my job during the pandemic. I switched careers only to be competing with more people. And the government just announced they were accelerating immigration and given priority to people with degrees and given them priority to get jobs. Why does the government keep doing this? Anyway, thank you for sharing. I hope your journey continues to be positive and you and your family rediscover yourselves in Paraguay. I have met classmates from there before and they say it's beautiful!
That's a very good question and to be honest not sure there really was a last straw. It was more of a gradual realization that things were not going to turn around any time soon so when the opportunity came we took it. Yes, it is a beautiful country.
Because they only care about money, not a care in the world for tax paying Canadians.
I left Canada 1 year ago after 20 years being in Montreal. I live in Central Europe now, finally happy here. I couldn’t stand it toxic feminism, potholes on the streets, thousands of stop signs on the roads, corner stores looking like in Africa, police everywhere, stilling Amazon parcels, stilling cars , promoting deviations, almost impossible to get to doctors , beggars on the streets, homeless in the metro and everywhere, oh list is long
So glad you found yourself a better place. It amazes me what Canada has turned into.
WOW. It is hard to believe you are talking about Canada?
In IRLANDE I often hear yung people gleefully talk about going to Kanada Stralia nu ziland
My reply is sometimes. What for or do you not reLise. Etc they look at mi with 2 heds
@@Mpg972 I see it still happening, Mennonites from here also (also mostly young people) leaving the area for Canada. Some of my family is baffled when we get into stories about the reality in Canada. I feel for my family that's still sticking around there.
Nice video. Im subscribing. I moved to Canada from Brazil in 2020 ( 1 uear of college, 3 years of owrk permit) and got my PR dec last year. I had a very good job, at least for my standard, almost 6 figures. I never had a car while in Canada, trying to not spend too much money. I decided with my wife to return to Brazil , and we did back in may. I'm not rich here, life is very hard, but it was falsely easier in Canada. I could have a good job, but nothing else I guess, because everything is so expensive. To be fair I've a son here in Brazil ( I'm not married with his mother) that did not adapt in Canada, so it was even hard to be so far from him.
I don't know, sometimes I feel I did the wrong thing coming back after working so hard for the PR, and that I should wait a little longer to get citizenship. But in the other hand I feel that I did wrong and wasted so much time away from my son that any second extra is not worthy.
I guess it's all different when you have a family. In the end, family is what matters most.
Thank you. I agree that when things get hard it's easy to feel like maybe it was a wrong choice but at the end of the day the pros and cons have weighed against each other. Our kids happiness here has made it so much easier for us. I wish you and your family all the best!
My cousin was left from Asia to Canada . I didn't ask until five months so one day I asked how is job how much working he said 450 Canadian dollars. I said are you joking he said at the moment is ok until I find better job.i have another friend he is originally Canadian he left Canada in 2018 . He move to Iceland working as tour guide. He said my salary is twice higher than the Canada . We he went back marriage right now living in Iceland happy life
The wage to living expenses in Canada seems to have only gotten worse even since we left 8 months ago with inflation increasing the cost of everything do much.
Your writing "skills" are an abomination... But THANKS for Sharing! 🙄💐
Thank you
Recently I received twice an invitation for Permanent Residency canada Entrée Express but I just totally changed my mind because of all these reasons I just decided to stay in my homecountry Algeria 🇩🇿 as long as I have all I need here. What the hell i am gonna do in that ❄ land
Sounds a little desperate on Canada's part.
I like that your videos are around 10 minutes long as I have a short attention span.
I started planning Leaving my home country when the "pandemic" hit, that was the last straw, inflation and lack of quality of life had broken this country. Never coming back.
What country would that be, also Canada?
Wishing you all the best. It's not easy starting over in a new country.
@@Frieda_Wiebealso leaving canada
You and your family are very smart! Best of luck to you! I am a man in my seventies.
Thank you! Well wishes to you too.
Canada is good for people coming from India ,Bangladesh,Srilanka , Pakistan, Mexicans , Philippines ,etc , and you can see Canada is being filled up with those Nationalities , and the Ministry of Immigration is a Singh Indian who has helped Hundred of thousands des of Singh Indian to come into Canada with their Head covers with Turbans , most Small groceries are owned by the Corrupted Chinese in Canada , what will happen to this country ?
yet people still voted for Trudeau. Let's see how this year's election goes. I doubt a change of minister can turn around this train now.
Looks to me like it's becoming everything but Canadian for the majority if it at least with low birth rates amongst Canadian nationals themselves.
@@kzu8976 Of course. For the immigrants, he lets them in with big open arms and for the rest, he helps the economy by letting them in.

Import a third world and not give them opportunities. You eventually become third world. It becomes a nightmare to all...

I Pray from God that happiness come in ur life and spent a happily life with family💜💜
Yes they sure do and it has been a humbling experience.
Hi I've moved a few times, for me it takes about 6 years before you really start yo feel at home. Change country, language, culture ...etc, yeah is tougher then most people think. But also exhilarating, breath of fresh air, need to adapt, marvel at how things can be done and seen differently... you grow & mature. My kids were 3 and 9 when we moved. You guys are brave, and should be proud of yourselves. Hang in there ! things will get better as you start to settle in, and adopt the new culture & country.
Thank you for the comment. Knowing some people here ahead of time and knowing one of the languages (low German) amongst the Mennonites has really helped. We have learned so much!
There’s a growing number of Germans’ Mennonites in Paraguay, Mexico and Colombia. Most of them are very conservative and hard workers farmers but they kind of live isolated from the rest of the society.
Yes they do live more in Colonies. My husband and I are both originally from these colonies, different colonies both in Paraguay.
For the most part. The Paraguayan government has actually had two ministers over the last 10-15 years that were Mennonites. There is now more integration into Paraguayan society. The Mennonites have helped a lot to develop the Chaco region. Paraguayans recognize this,
@@jgonz260 Yes they've been a great asset economically. I understand, on the one hand why the Mennonites keep their colonies more closed off in this region, (Caaguazu) but do think they go overboard sometimes.
@@Frieda_Wiebe Thank you for the information. You probably are near Campo Nueve then. Aren't the Mennonites there more English-speaking than German-speaking?
@@jgonz260 Yes that's the area. There are actually not many that speak fluent English, mostly those that have lived in Canada and come back. They are low German at home and German in school. These 2 specific colonies left Canada 1948 and went back more to their German routes with language.
A cold and wretched country🎉
Wow I was just doing research about leaving & there are so many people experiencing the same thing! amazing
Goes to show how ready people are for a change.
Way to go!
thank you!
I have been working in Canada for 3 years as a mechanical engineer. Not a promising future l am seeing:( still waiting for 2025 elections. Still hoping that Pierre is gonna win and let the energy projects start. Otherwise l am planning to leave.
Wishing you all the best!
For your sake, I'm hoping for a good turnout of that election. Thank you, well wishes to you too.
Elections will not make much difference as land is very small and limited opportunities Canada is not a place of opportunities and Economy is not promising to grow in future
@@Cent-130 , l agree with you. Elections in 2025 won’t solve majority of the problems. What l am expecting is that maybe the course of the country will be changed a little bit towards to what makes sense. Now l feel like Canada is a ship without a compass.
@alperturna4371 IF you mean the Green Energy Sector, I'm totally behind you!! If it is Fossil Fuel industry then, that is another story. We will need or use Fossil Fuels for a while, but the Future is Green Energy. Climate Change is the greatest threat to humanity, way more important than anything else.
Thanks for sharing.
you bet! thank you for watching
Visit Brazil, you and your family are very welcome.
we sure plan on traveling more once we are settled more, thank you.
I will if I get to Paraguay I know a lot of Brazilians in ireland
Firstly I wish you and your family all the best! FYI, Doug Casey has many good things to say about Uruguay so I wonder if you considered that. www.youtube.com/@dougcaseyclips2795
I am not surprised at anyone leaving Canada because:
1) Trudeau is despicable for so many reasons (that should be obvious to everyone - BUT aren't! )
&
2) housing prices are absolutely insane. Canadian families are being deliberately impoverished. Sad!
Take care.
We looked into multiple places. Uruguay has higher cost of living and more restricted when it comes to business. I'll be going over how we came to our conclusion in my next video.
Good Synopsis all true . Like the feel of paraguay over Uruguay. Dunno why found it harder to research urugay any tips . Mb live on the border must b local cross border trade
I left canada 8 years ago i am very happy
That's great to hear.
One of the Canada's immigrants says,
Canada is 3 star's hotel with 5 star's rates.
I am involved with a group of parents in Canada fighting for parental rights in the public K-12 education system. We oppose the teaching of gender ideology and critical race theory inspired ideas to little kids. I was just curious what aspects of the curriculum you found objectionable when your kids were in school here if this influenced your decision to leave Canada?
First, thank you for what you do. Gender ideologies and critical race theory inspired ideas are the biggest things we were seeing pushed across the country although not as openly in the area we were.
Hey Frieda,
thank you for sharing your family's story. I instantly subscribed!
We left Germany in February 2020 to go live in Russia. For us it was also - hands down - the best decision we ever made. For many of the same reasons you and your viewers in the comments section describe...
I was wondering if you guys are a believing family? In your testimony, you alluded a tiny bit to some metaphysical aspect charging your final decision to leave Canada, in "following a call".
Just being curious: Do you believe, a personal God called you, or more like an impersonal energy of synchronicity?
Either way, I for one greet you and send you our blessings in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ!
Take care ❤
Our faith is Christian and do believe God called us to be where we are. Thank you and blessings to you as well!
Congratulations to your brave move. 😊
Hey there Frieda-we’re a US couple considering a move to Paraguay. We recently adopted Anabaptist beliefs after attending an Eastern Pennsylvania Mennonite Church and later a Nationwide church here in the States. Would there be any non-Colony moderate conservative Mennonite groups in Paraguay that you would be able to recommend to a young family who’d like to raise their children Mennonite that isn’t in the Chaco?
Hi, Brennan. The answer to your question depends a bit on exactly how you mean non- Colony. The two colonies we live between, for instance, each have one main (the original) church denomination that are run by the colony system. Then there is also two churches in one colony and one in the other that predominately consist of colony members but also welcome others from outside the colony. We attend one of these churches and, from our experience, very welcoming. Earlier this year we became members at one of them and our kids attend the private school. The only thing is, they are primarily low German with only a small portion being fluent in English. There is also Colony Rio Verde which has several of these churches.
You should maybe try to move to Nigeria as I did few years ago. But, surprise, I will be back to Canada next month.
I'm good here thanks though 🙂
She looks sad and regretful her eyes i can read it. Wherever you go, happiness does not come from a place or culture it's up to you my dear friend, look into your heart and you'll find it. Hope Paraguay can sustain your desire of a perfect place where you can be contented and happy goodluck. Anyway nobody is leaving this Planet we're all neighbors.
No regrets and not sad lol. It was my first video 😀 There is no perfect places just are better suited for certain people then others.

Hi frieda, just subscribed to your channel. Im a truck driver in the us for 18 years now they installed AI inward camera inside the cab its so bothering. i have just thought about paraguaye this year i visited paraguay for only 8 days i liked the country's rythm of life and in going to pay an other vist in the mid 2024 to discover the area where i want to live, im thinking about northeastern or mideastern part of paraguay next to brazil, do you have any idea about north east side of the country?
Hi, glad to hear you enjoyed your trip. I hear you, an AI system being installed where you spend most of your time wouldn’t be unsettling.
The northeast side is very dry (no rain from May to October sometimes) meaning a lot of water preservation. We were there (the Chaco region) where there are more German towns with some Hispanics integrated. I would say that area feels a lot more like bigger towns in the US/Canada than what the Asunción areas do.

blame turdeau, savethechildren2023convoy this Fall.
yes!
i have been all over. good luck finding anything better. every place has its problems.
every place does have its problems, it just comes down to what one is willing to put up with. I mean, certainly wouldn't want my kids in Canada's most beautiful city around their drug vending machines. you will not find that in Paraguay.
i have lived in northern ontario for 36 summers, and i do agree they have a terrible drug problem. i don't know what the people are thinking or not thinking. good luck with you and your family.@@Frieda_Wiebe
I never bin this broke in my life ....😤😡
Bin Broken !ahahah
That's the sad reality for so many. I really do wish the best for you.
Canada is hard lol lol
I'd be interested in what specifics that you talk about. What in the schools changed , what regulations that Canada made that effected the business. I'm not saying you shouldn't have left but you were very vague about the exact specifics. What did you expect your life was going to be that it wasn't.
Thanks for watching. You're right, I could have gone into more detail.
The regulatory changes that effected businesses in western was mostly the regulatory changes that made it impossible for the oil industry to get their projects approved. These regulations have made the western provinces economies very stagnant in the last 6 year while we didn’t work in the oil industry, it did trickle into our line of work in the transportation sector. from 2014 to 2018. More than 60% of our profit margin was eaten up and never recovered. Carbon taxes certainly didn't help either for a business where fuel is essential.
As for schools, it was the gender ideologies and critical racial theory inspired ideas that we didn't want our children to be taught. Schools are moving further away from actually educating children to promote strong brain development and rather a place to practice pushing social experiments.
@@Frieda_Wiebe Thanks for replying. Still not sure on your trucking business issues you didn't say what those specific regulations were. As far as the schooling I think you are wrong so maybe it is good you move out of the country then.
she is 1000% right on schools as they are just for the major part brainwashing the kids, and do you want her to show you her company papers since day one??? some stuff is private and if you cannot handel that then you can fuck off and never watch her videos again
@@patricklawler4138Schools were awful when I finished in 2012. Must be a nightmare now.
Can you get your pension if you leave Canada ?
From what I understand yes if you are already getting it but is getting increasingly difficult to get it transferred out of the country. If I were you I would look into it more to be completely sure.
from my understanding you have to living in Canada for x amount of days to qualify pension and other social services like health care etc.
@@acz88 my mom had to have her job for 10 years in order to qualify for pension
@@Frieda_Wiebe yes you have to work and contribute to cpp as well.
nice video, suscribed
thank you for subscribing!
While I agree leaving is the best option, I left Canada for the US, Paraguay does not seem to be a safe option at all if I'm going to be honest with you, unless you have ties with powerful men or you are rich enough to make friends with people in power.
Not to mention how unstable the currency is.
May I ask why did you choose Paraguay?
I actually did have a video on how we came to choosing Paraguay. Whether or not you can be successful here has more to do with the individual when it comes to making an income. For anyone wanting to just land a day job, yes it is much more difficult than in any developed country. When it comes to exchange rate, a simple google search reveals that its in comparison to other Latin American countries, this is one of the more stable ones. But to each their own.
@@Frieda_Wiebe I would have picked their neighboring country Uruguay. Seems safe and stable enough but yes I guess each got their own opinion. I'm sure your husband did his research and must have picked it for a reason. Best wishes!
@@hosamelsayed5723 A lot of research and years went into deciding a place. Thank you!

agreed, whats right for one may not be right for the next.
No other place is like Canada ❤🇨🇦
North Korea is a close second..
I wish you my best in Paraguay, but I assure you that if Trudeau weren’t the PM, Canada would still be in the same situation.
By the way, Paraguay is not stable for foreigners. They had a military cue, and one of my friends lost everything (Gov. confiscated his business). Unless you are a citizen of Paraguay, you are not safe!
This country has a lot of foreigners living here and am not aware of anything like that happening here in my lifetime. Possibly something that happened in the late 1980s.
@@Frieda_Wiebe It was early 2000.
@@bluecollarbrothers Ok, I was not aware of that and had to go look it up. It show that there was an attempt of a coup in the year 2000. I won't claim that Paraguay is perfect, it does have its downsides like any place.
@@Frieda_Wiebe There was no military coupe d'etat in Paraguay in 2000 that I am aware of. The last one occurred in 1988 when ex-president Alfredo Stroessner was deposed, and he exiled to Brazil. Ex-president Lugo was impeached in 2012, in congress, without military intervention,

yup including those that don't go woke.
Don’t get me wrong, but with all these conspiracy theories going around on the internet, your German name & Paraguay reminded me Nazis in South America, especially Paraguay, lol.
I wish you and yours good luck.
