@@nomadcapitalist Thank you I am already living very comfortably in the Philippines on a low budget. My house rent is $234 per month, a maid who does laundry, dishes and cleaning as well as gardening is $1 per day. I get fresh fish delivered to the door straight off the ocean (which is 100 yards off the back porch) and the vegetables growing off the garden are delicious. Add a zero to the rental in Canada but take away the ocean view, free access to warm clear seas, and no fresh vegetables or fish.
I'm from Chile, and after living in Canada for almost two years and working in a technician role, I have the opportunity to apply for a residence pathway. However, after my first experience with the awful healthcare system (in Alberta), the crazy competitiveness in the job market, the housing market, the food prices and their quality, the car insurance scam, the cost of phone plans, and of course the income taxes, I have decided to move back to Chile next year. It is not the same working as a professional in your home country, but for me, it doesn't make any sense to pursue permanent residence while remaining poor in the long term.
Viva América Latina, Canadá está peor que muchos países allá. Extraño Perú como la mrda, la vida es sencilla allá, todo barato, hay sol ☀️ hay comida fresca, hay gente que piensa por si mismos con sus propias ideas, no hay la mentalidad del oveja que existe en Canadá, país recontra progre 🤮 Canada is for bureaucrats and the rich, no hay Ni la mrda para la gente clase trabajadora
Canada is out of control. I live on Vancouver Island and just got my property tax statements. Year over year my tax went up by 17.5%. What are these politicians thinking. Food is up double digits, fuel is expensive, and everything is up in price except our income. We have this huge national debt piling up and all levels of govt are increasing spending. In BC the provincial govt did a nasty move literally forcing some areas to drastically raise property taxes. The provincial govt said look we have this money available for the regional/municipal govts BUT it is only available on a matching basis so in essence the local govts get forced into raising taxes if they want the money.
Canada produces 6 millions barrels of oil per day. Population 40 millions. Algeria produces 1.5 millions barrels of oil per day. Population 40 millions. Algeria gives away diesel at 0.15$/liter & super95 at 0.25$ to its citizens. It doesn't make sense. Canada is able to give gaz for free to the people. It's a scam.
Left the island a few years ago to alberta, houses are cheaper here but believe me property tax and utilities are higher. Monthly costs almost average out tbh.
We Canadians are stuck with a healthcare system that costs a fortune in taxes and doesn't help when a person gets a less easy-to-diagnose disease. They wait until the person is almost dead to help and if you're older they often just let you die, without even having a diagnosis and doing the required tests. They might even do this with really young people sometimes but I don't know of any cases yet
And yet Canadians think our socialist healthcare system is amazing. I live in Alberta and had 2 neurosurgeries in US. I was fortunate to have enough savings to be able to pay out or pocket or could have died from the tumor doctors here they were unable to remove.
@@James-il3tq Yes, many of them do think that because their government and the government-influenced news tell them that. The people who go to the doctor for their yearly runny nose and haven't had serious illness especially think this. Doctors often refuse to give medical testing to ill people because it costs money. Some of the tests they give are only allowed to be given to hospitalized patients and they often refuse to hospitalize a patient unless he or she is just about dead. Even if they do hospitalize the patient, they don't want to use the expensive tests especially if the person is not young, so they'll do something like a CAT scan and then "monitor" the patient for a couple weeks while drugging them up on valuum and stuff, before often sending them home and cutting some of the drugs cold-turkey. Then the government even tells Doctors to save money by not giving medical tests to as many people and to avoid giving tests to the people who are (in the doctor's opinion) less likely to get a negative result or have a serious health problem. When a person comes down with a serious health problem they will sometimes take their sweat time and delay things for a month or two and at the end of that if the patient is still conscious and standing they will say, well you haven't progressed to a near-death (in their opinion) state so that means your just mental. They often accuse the ill person of faking or imagining the illness and then tell them to take anti-psychotics to relieve their pain, weakness, and other physical health problems. I know of people who are physically unwell and can hardly function and the Doctors won't give them medical tests and also refuse to approve their disability payments unless they take psych drugs, which have nothing to do with their health problem. Then some patients have severe pain and so many Doctors refuse to prescribe opioids because Opioids have been demonized and the Doctors fear getting in trouble too. It's true that opioids can cause addiction but so do all kinds of meds including ssris and they have no issue prescribing those. Opioids can also cause overdose deaths but it is better to take that small risk rather than leaving the patient in long-term unbearable pain. If the Doctor won't prescribe it then the patient often buys illegal opioids from the street and those are the ones that are the most deadly in terms of overdose deaths because the labels are not accurate or even present on the meds. The real opioid epidemic is caused by the government and the drug companies. Lots of severe pain patients in Canada just pretend that they are addicts and then they can get opioids for free from an addiction clinic. But not all Canadians know this trick or they can't get to a clinic easily. So if you say you're addicted to opioid drugs like morphine, then the clinics will give you opioids to treat your addiction but if you say you are not addicted but need opioids for pain then they'll likely not give you any. Some people want to be honest but sometimes you have to lie to those working under corrupt government rules. But if you say you're addicted and took your last dose twelve hours ago, they might test your urine and see that you are lying and possibly refuse to help you. I'm just saying that because I don't want to see that happen to anyone reading my comment. I almost never lie but I'll give you another example of when it is okay to lie. If the government tells you they are going to castrate all gay males, then it would be right for gay men to lie and say that they are straight. Many Christians say lying is always wrong but there are times when it is moral. The problem is that humans are not very good at deciding when it is or is not moral to lie. Remember the people who will judge you for lying the most are often the biggest liars of them all. Don't lie at work though folks, you will get caught and lose your job. I just don't want anyone misinterpreting what i am saying and then losing getting into trouble. I bet the only way to get amazing healthcare in this world is if you're super rich, but maybe there are some countries that give amazing quality universal healthcare. I doubt it though. In Canada, they are always trying to save money on health care in order to make up for all the money the government wastes. As a high school student, i remember the high school would have the parents give the family doctor's phone number to the school. Then the school would monitor kids and pick kids who didn't look happy enough and then try to force them onto psychiatric meds with the Doctor, and if the student doesn't comply then the doctor will lie and say that the student is a danger, and then have him or her arrested and locked into mental institution. The school would also call the Doctor if they thought the student had anything wrong with his or her physical health or if the student could not run far enough. Now the high school staff and the family Doctors are working together to convince the high school students that they are trans and then pressuring them to take trans drugs. What kind of sick country is this?
@James-il3tq, it's only that born and raised in Canada and those who never been abroad think Canadian health care is so great. I am in Toronto and every immigrant I meet says it's so bad.
During covid the cancer testing was so poor, people died waiting. Now people are dying in waiting rooms… I know a lady whose husband DROPPED DEAD in the waiting room!!
Uruguay is expensive, boring, and experiencing a water crisis. Paraguay is a much better option and residency is easier to get. Corruption rankings don't matter because 1) corruption doesn't impact expats as much 2) all politicians are corrupt, so it can't be avoided.
One of the reasons, as to why I found it such difficulty, in working with them 😅 Nice people but am on rocket fuel, for the most part of the day 💫🚀⛲💫💃🌌 🎉😅💛😂❤
the worst part is canada has everything you can want resources space everything... it's sad we've been overrun by free loaders and corporations just extracting all the wealth from us
Yep. In 1980, the Canadian corporate tax rate was 36%. Today? 15%, one of the lowest in the OECD. In fact, corporations only contribute 25% to overall taxes collected. Over the same period of time, the feds cut building in social housing, and slowed spending in other areas. Meanwhile, thousands of new immigrants aren’t making anything easier on the health/education systems. So here we are.
@@meuricehunt3104while that is good to notice, just know that when the truly wealthy are taxed too much they take their money / assets and leave. This is part of the reason many American companies either left or went under. Now we have very few ways to make a good living without some serious hassle. I'm not concerned for me, simply for the average man. And no, I do not fit any sort of wealthy category. I am actually in some of the lowest earning brackets and am in a state that doesn't alow much upward mobility (NY) but am working towards changing both of those issues. The moment I have enough cash I'm outta this liberal hell-hole.
Fair enough But know success stories aboat the USA If you can make it without Canadian money and passport HAVE AT ER if you need Canadian passport and wealth ( or you moved to the states ) nothing to offer here
If you think there's no corruption in your country then you should never fear a political party you dont like gaining power. And if it terrifies you its because the system is corrupt.
Uruguay is a great choice, every December to late February I’m in Punta Del Este(Miami). Here is a money hack for you guys, if you want to luxury at cheaper rate La Barra or Maldonado less than hour away. Enjoy
I’m a uruguayan living in Canada and can’t wait to go back but it’s been so long that I find it hard to leave. I just need to find a way to get passive income and that would make me comfortable enough to make the move. Anyway, we welcome everyone in our little gem 🇺🇾
This would never be an option for me because I’m the slowest language learner and would have to move all my schooling over 😒 by the time I did all that Canada would be back to normal lol
Pre pandemic I was hassled and questioned more by Canadian border protection than I was anywhere around the world. After that experience I never went back.
So you experienced that too!?! I have travelled to every continent and the worst treatment I have ever received is from their agents. It seems that they take pleasure in harassing visitors from the country directly south of them. I have been hassled so much that it casts a dark pall over any trip. I will NEVER go back there on a pleasure trip as the treatment at the border ruins any pleasure trip and will do anything in my power to avoid a business trip!!!
I watched a show, don’t remember the name of it- Canadian border crossing tactics seem criminal. They confiscate items, plus fine $$ for bringing in “illegal” items. It’s got to be a billion dollar industry. As a Canadian I was appalled. I think they can even confiscate your technology items as well if they “suspect” you of criminal activity.
Close to 70% of people who immigrate to Canada leave for good with 2 years. As per Cdn govt stats. Canada is now a disastrous state to move to. Limited opportunities, insane taxes, crazy govt control over everything, obedient, brainswashed population (not everyone obviously) no sovereignty- always follows what usa orders, expensive, and boring.
We get a lot for our taxes. A more uniformly better education, which means less flat- earthers and their ilk. We have much less crime although a lot of guns get smuggled in from the U.S. ,We have free health care albeit we wait longer for it. We don't spend all our time on elections. We don't have comparable slums and dangerous neighborhoods. We upgrade our infrastructures and that means our roads and bridges are safe. If there is corruption in politics it at least makes a scandal whereas south of the border you have much more from the elected sheriff's to the top of the country, and all the levels in between.
@@knotwhatyouthink@knotwhatyouthink, in reality, is more centered than anything else; the president now is a socialist; he is not a good administrator and is making tons of mistakes. We have 2 more years to go. But he is paving the way for the center-right to return to power, and we can't wait.
I can think of so many countries better than western countries.The problem is if your only watching western media news,mainstream media,there not going to highlight opportunity that is growing in other countries that are becoming more competitive.And right now American,Canadian citizens we have more option and opportunity available to us outside of our home countries.Its easier to diversify yourself in eastern countries because eastern countries societies are all about diversification.
Canadian here - 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Looking to get out… The weather IS getting to me, BYT it’s not the deciding factor for me. It’s the political constraints, the never ending tax increases, woke brainwashing of children, etc.
The woke brainwashing is also happening in the workplace when you see who are getting promotions - if you don't use the preferred pronouns, even by error, you are blacklisted!!
@@2GringosOnTheGulf I envy you… good you got out! I bought some land in Costa Rica - but it will take time to get ready and build. Can’t waaaaaaaiiitttt to leave Canada. I will NOT miss it.
My husband is a senior Canadian military officer who has, and continues to express deep concern about the political trajectory of our country. We continue to stand and embrace the traditional judeo Christian values which created Canada, one of the greatest countries in human existence. Unfortunately, we have also realized the reality of our political situation here in Canada, which led us to down the pathway of seeking a second citizenship, shifting assets out of the country and preparing for a new life in the not so distance future. This decision has been challenging for my husband as he has devoted his entire life in the defence of Canada, only to find himself at odds with the 'new Canada' while concurrently being labelled 'the problem' in the Canadian military for bring a white, heterosexual Christian male. Just over the past year, twelve other Canadian military officers my husband personally knows have also started the process of acquiring a second citizenship and preparing for a new life outside Canada. This does not include the dozens of other officers and soldiers my husband knows you are questioning if they ought to leave as well. Unfortunately, this battle is not one that can be fought and won by the military as it is an ideological war which has captured the Canadian institutions while indoctrinating the Canadian population. Each morning I watch my husband proudly prepare his uniform, head to work, and serve our country, while concurrently watching over 100 churches burn across Canada without consequence and complete apathy from politicians and enforcement agencies, toppled statues, a morally depraved public education system hell bent on indoctrinating/radicalizing children, political demands for individuals of european decent to be abolished from positions of authority/hand over land/personal assets, profound levels of political censorship and propaganda, increased hostility towards Christians and Jews, DEI/CRT employment standards for maintaining employment or being hired, politically classifying parents as 'threats' to their children, unreguated abortion, the extension of civil rights for certain groups (i.e. leftwing) and erosion of civil rights for others (i.e. conservative), increased taxation and cost of living, illegal seizure and freezing of bank accounts, iIlegally shutting down peaceful protests, erosion of freedom of assembly/speech/religion among many, many other factors. The Canadian military, just like all other Canadian institutions, is ideologically compromised, and not just defends, but also advocates for this 'new Canada'. This is not the country he fought to defend. This is not the country or culture we will allow our children to grow up in. However, until our departure we will continue to fight and stand firm in our beliefs while petitioning our Member's of Parliament, participating in legal and peaceful protests, joining like minded causes and educating the public. We contiue to pray while concurrently organizing a life raft.
You've said it all. Your effort received one 'like'. Mine is second. Thank you for saying it like it is. Thank you, Mr. Edwards for your service. Our country got destroyed in the last 9 years. It is not so simple to escape, though. It's possible but not easy. If you don't have much money, it is an obvious obstacle. If you do have money, you will be heavily taxed on unrealized capital gains. The recent capital gains inclusion rate change may cost you dearly, as I found out.
@@robertk5441 Good evening Mr. Robert - thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns. We are still learning the tax/financial implications of not just departing Canada, but also when operating in a new country. Nothing is easy, that is for sure! As a family with small children, and hopefully more in the future, our main focus is providing a life for our children. There are risks staying in Canada and risks moving to a foreign country. We do hope Canadians wake up to the reality of the political situation in our country before it is too late. Thanks for the comment and 'like'😉 All the best to you and your family
@@robertk5441 Based on my limited understanding, the exit tax only applies to the calendar year a Canadian departs Canada. Many of Canadians I know who have departed Canada did so in a phased approach to avoid the tax issues. For example, vacation in country 'x' and open a bank account, return to Canada, slowly start shifting funds out of Canada, selling off assets even home (rent), then when they leave the following calendar year or two later, no Canadian financial investments to declare, no home or assets. I am meeting with lawyer soon to discuss as I know my time is limited and Canada will only become worse, and it will be more difficult to depart
i live in China, and went to Canada for holidays less than 2 years ago, what impressed me about Canada is that the cost of everything was like 7 times more than China, and the quality of everything much worse, dirty and dangerous cities with old and slow subways , and 11 dolars for one day of subway system use, that is something i will never forget, because there were many homeless and people smoking crack in the subway stations. By the way China is a tax zero country for all the revenue generated abroad, and has moderate taxes for the money generated in China. I dont understand why the west is so expensive and high taxed and yet public spaces and public services are a lot worse than in China in many cases
Corporations control the majority of Western nations. Corporations have destroyed their politics, education, and demographics. Corporations have turned their women into commodities and therefore relationships don't last and their population is plummeting which is why they have to import people from around the world to work and pay taxes. Without immigration, this system cannot last as corporations want submissive, desperate, low-paid serfs.
No one wants to live in China except the chinese and expats looking for business opportunities. Not having to live under the boot of CCP is more valuable than anything else.
Agree with a lot of the comments below . We can only come to our own conclusions as to how Canada is ranked 12th given that it’ has one of the most corrupt governments around . I now live in Paraguay . Best decision I ever made .
It cost me a fortune to move my business and family from Canada to a red state. While I am happy now and pay only a fraction of the taxes I used to pay in Canada. I am open to have multiple residency somewhere just a backup in case of my red state become like Canada one day.
Andrew, I would love for you to cover security in these countries, but not personal security per se (getting mugged). I recently had an idea for a business in the automotive industry that would greatly benefit from the proximity of Piedras Calientes, Mexico to the US. However I would be concerned with having to deal wirh organized crime, i.e, extortion money for setting up shop; or even general corruption preventing me from starting a business because officials are on the pocket of established competitors.
Have you ever lived in Iran, Libya, N. Korea. I guess not. Despite of all issues with Trudeau, Canada is a democratic country where governments peacefully got changed after fair elections outcomes' release.
I was born in Canada and lived there 35 years. Now when I look at the situation there with astronomically priced housing and rental markets, unconscionable gouging by the grocery magnates, and the same hostage situation to the oil companies, I am so glad I left. Even if I wanted to return, I wouldn't be able to afford it, not even close. How badly has the government f**ked up to put the citizens of a wealthy nation in such a predicament? Absolutely shameful. Something I just thought of after reading another comment. The car insurance scam infuriated me to no end. A car is essential in Canada because public transit sucks or is not available and distances are huge. Insurance is mandatory and yet it is sourced out to private companies who are free to gouge to their hearts' content knowing that Canadians need their vehicles. B.C. is one province that has government insurance and the savings are huge. This is how it should be done across the country.
I have been in Canada for 46 years and it was good, people are nice, a lot of jobs, no guns, low crime rate, and the education system is good, and then I retired 5 years ago, but last 10 years I don't feel safe anymore, everything sucks and the government keeps talking BS and empty, this is why I am planning to move back my country, 46 years ago, Canada is much better than Asia. but nowadays it is not What a pity!!! I hope it can be better in future. but now it is good to change another way of life.
Corruption in the West is only available to the elite and done at the extreme level. While countries that are considered highly corrupt offer it to anyone, like bribing a police officer to avoid a speeding ticket. The reality is the powers that be dont see corruption as the problem but that use "plebs" have access to it.
My guess is Norway works similar to Canada in that the corruption is institutionalized. So, if it's part of the rules, it's not considered corruption. LOL, these lists are almost certainly created by the corrupt folks themselves, and they probably gauge the rules to this list, based on what makes them look the best. Just, the rules themselves, have implicit corruption in them, and those details get lost in the analysis. I've seen banana republics with less financial controls than Canada. Canada shouldn't be 12th.. maybe 120th. It's basically a modern-age monarchy. Wealthy private families control, and everyone else is expected to work for them, like a serf. Great if you're a noble.. but the majority of people are one missed paycheck from being on the streets.
If Norway is anything like Canada, the corruption is legalized, meaning that having to pay a huge sum for permission to something is no longer seen as a bribe.
canadians are stuck with exit taxes...leave canada before you have substantial assets. once you do, it will cost you 50% tax when you become non tax resident. run!!!
I have retired a year ago. I do have some savings. I couldn't afford my condo apartment and my car anymore. My pension covers only maintenance fees , municipal taxes , car maintenance and gas. Not much left. Almost nothing. I sold my apartment and bought a sail boat in Miami. Now I sail all Caribbean and live on the boat. No car , no maintenance fees and no bullshit anymore. Almost 70 % of my food coming from an ocean and I collect coconuts on isolated islands. The rest is canned food and some fruit and vegetables I buy when I enter the marina of different islands or on mainland. That's it. No rent, no tax , no bullshit.
@@mariadavis3797Historically Alberta & SK were to be one Province back in 1904-05 but Laurentian Elites back in those days feared it would become too powerful and individualistic.
@@frosty2660 The easterners hate B.C. almost as much as they do Alberta. The U.S. might want B.C. because of the natural resources, the land route to Alaska, and control of the gap in their west coast.
Yes, Canada has become an expensive country to live in, this is the price to pay when the country has a great reputation and for accepting so many immigrants. The fact is that 50% of the people living in Toronto were not born in Canada! The demand for goods and services increases and so are the prices. This said, let’s compare the cost of living index for Toronto and Montevideo taking into account that 100% is the cost of living in New York City. Toronto is at 66% and Montevideo is at 54%. Average monthly net income after tax in Toronto is $4,660 while it is 1,700 in Montevideo. Those are in Canadian dollars. The crime index is very high in Uruguay and very low in Canada. The overall quality of life in Canada is very high while it is low in Uruguay. Finally, the Human Development Index according to the United Nations puts Canada in 18th position while Uruguay is in the 52nd position. It depends where you want to live, in a highly developed country that will provide you with a lot of opportunities including a safe and clean environment or a third world country which is at least a 12 hours flight from any developed country in the world!
This is a channel for wealthy people to find their 2nd home base to reduce tax burdens and register a second passport =DD. So its only referring to the nicer neighbourhoods in Uruguay =D. Not for living there! But obligatory "Canada BAD, xxx GOOD" headline for more views. Its always funny to read comments that complain about crime rates/car theft in Canada, then continue to say how they'll go live in South America instead. Canada has significantly less violent crimes, weaponized assault, rape and car theft than the safest S.A country (which in this case is actually Uruguay). If you ACTUALLY want to go somewhere with less crime, go to China; there's no crime with all the surveillance going on LOOL
@@TakeMeHome7 what's actually happening is that the West as a whole have been, for the last decade and a half, trying as hard as possible to become south America as quickly as possible.
yes, I'm peruvian, loved in a few western countries, they are trying so hard to be Latin America with the authoritarian style and crazy taxes with no results. But no South American country compares to Canada, there's no infrastructure whatsoever. Uruguay is boring, full of homeless people, boring and expensive if you are not rich
What is Chile like? I was raised in the conservative rural South, but after high school moved to Oregon then Washington State. I hear Chile is Conservative but has a climate like western Oregon and Washington with no poisonous snakes just like Oregon and Washington west of the Cascade Mountain range.
the south of chile is like the north of the US, like Idaho or montana, very noce people are nicer, less crome you can your cotagge and keep your vault safe with your cash and nobody will ever bother you. BUT GO TO THE SOUTH! NOT THE MESSY NORTH THAT LOOKS LIKE TEXAS
The corruption is built into Canadian policies, therefore it doesn't appear to be so bad, on the surface. So, just like the US, a lobbyist from a big corp can donate to a politician and get industry friendly tax benefits. Business as usual. But, what makes Canada worse than the US for corruption is the bank policies when it comes to lending to non-established businesses. All the major banks will give loans for a home, but that's about it, if you are one of the 'underclass'. Business finance, is reserved for established businesses only, and it's a policy. They won't even read a business plan, if they don't like the author. This is why there's such limited competition when it comes to grocers, banks, cell phone providers, etc. Nobody can get a loan, to compete with them. Quite often, family members have high positions in both the monopolistic corporations, but also the banks that lend to these corporations. A telling stat is the number of funded startups in Canada. I believe it is 1/3rd that of the US, per capita. Only wealthy and connected people will therefore have the funds to emerge in the Canadian market. This also means a lot of highly skilled Canadians are forced to take a lower salary, given the control the banks/government have over job creation, if they choose to stay in Canada. If it weren't for the US investing in Canada, I think you'd see almost no startups at all in Canada, it's that bad. That said, if you want a low or middle-income salary, with no real ambitions of success, Canada is for you. Canada brings in boatloads of immigrants, for these jobs, but a lot of them leave in a few years when they realize their opportunities are no better than where they came from.
THIS! THe biggest myth is this myth that in Canada everyone is equal and it's an equal opportunity country. It may be if you have no ambitions in life and just want to sleep eat and smoke weed but if you want to be somebody it's only the McCains and the traditional multigenerational wealth, or their buddies, getting all the opportunities. It's amazingly successful at hiding how feudalistic it is.
As a Canadian small business owner I can agree 100%. We have a communications tech company with no default and annual revenue $2Million - 4Million for the past 15 years and can’t even get a corporate credit card for any balance! (Yes our credit cards are prepaid!). Yet more troubling we compete against favorite monopoly Telus with fiber internet delivery in rural BC and are all but denied access to highway corridors for placing buried fiber. It’s pretty much a closed shop here. Monopoly business = Government in Canada.
Uruguay is way expensive, salary is low and expenses quite high pretty much on par with Europe sometimes, how people live in Uruguay god knows. But much cleaner , nicer, that’s for sure
As a Brazilian, I visited Uruguay. It’s a nice country but too slow and boring. I guess it’s great for retirement if you are looking for that lifestyle but no thanks.

@@Johnnie-d9b you guys are talking as if South America was the size of Europe. Once in Uruguay your best bet is a ferry ride to Argentina. Airport is small and it’s not as well connected as the largest neighbors. Country is quite arid and outside of Montevideo and punts Del Este there’s really not much going on. Tv is generally from Argentina, and lots of Uruguayans regularly cross the border to buy stuff because everything is expensive. Society is very traditional, and it’s really boring af. So yay for tax advantages but I would not like to be stuck in a country where I need to take a plane in order to do something interesting.
Impoverished Farmer From Western Quebec. My whole life has completely changed because of the Canadian government, corrupted courts, inflation, language laws, rising costs and bureaucracy. I've lost my family, my work, my industry, and everything else I try to do has some bureaucratic hurdle. It's completely insufferable. I am slowly selling everything that I own in order to move abroad to another country. Not sure where to go exactly. Any suggestions? Linguistically I am challenged, I can only speak English. Only experience is in agriculture, protection dog training, and dog breeding. I only have $20-$30k to relocate with. I'm thinking of Jamaica, Belize, Trinidad and Tobago, maybe Guyana? Maybe Malaysia or Philippines? Run a small farm and sell guard dogs. Is that viable somewhere? Anyone have an idea? After over 30,000 years it's hard to leave the land.. I often wonder what my ancestors would be thinking right now.
I just came back from visiting Uruguay and Argentina as a tourist.I loved the cultural scene in Buenos Aires even though I don't speak Spanish.Uruguay was very pleasant,not too expensive ,but yes a little boring.But then you can always go to BA for a long weekend.
I spent a month in Montevideo recently. I found groceries and restaurants to be approaching the cost in the US. Really lovely country with wonderful people though.
@@spencer1226As a Brazilian, I've found it way more expensive, but it's hard to compare because we feed over 30% of the world. Food here that I'd pay 5 euros for a complete dish of food, salad, rice, beans would cost 10-20x more in Uruguay, super crazy
@@Johnnie-d9b Not a particularly affordable country unfortunately. A few examples… In a restaurant I paid about 20$ US for a milanesa with fries and side salad. In a nice seafood restaurant about 30$ for an excellent meal. Pretty close to US prices. Maybe just marginally cheaper.
You are a brilliant salesman. You know your clients’ pain points and you obviously did your research. Awesome content and awesome delivery. When it comes to finding a tax friendly destination, this sounds like a great strategy. Very well explained. Is this the ideal plan for everyone? Is Uruguay the better option? Still on the fence. Cheers
I heard that Uruguay gives you citizenship but not nationality (not sure maybe the opposite) anyways what it means is that you get full rights within Uruguay but not outside of it. Which means on your passport your country of origin is written and your uruguay passport will be as strong as your original one. I am surprised that you didn’t mention as you usually do the best research I come across which makes me wonder if this isn’t true. Would appreciate a feedback on this!
The CRA, excessively high taxes, rampant corruption, high cost of living have conspired against me being able to stay in Canada. I have been working (as a civilian contractor) for the Canadian military for the last 22 years helping the country in that way and other ways, like being foster parents for several disturbed and distressed teenage children and have been helping a number of families in my local area. But my back to back contracts ended this year due to corruption within PSPC bidding process. I am now 72 and should have retired years ago but now am unable to pay the huge tax bills. So the CRA is coming to raid my house and "garner" aka steal my bank account. This is not very conducive to staying in Canada and trying to help in some way. I used to walk past the range of homeless shelters downtown Ottawa every day for years and saw scores of homeless people on the streets and their bodies being loaded into endless streams of ambulances and police cruisers. I chose not to be one of them.
Don't move to socialist Mexico. That country is rapidly becoming the next Cuba or Venezuela. Its deficit and internal debt are at record levels and growing rapidly because of the countless handouts and social programs that are constitutionally mandated but grossly unfunded. This nightmare is unsustainable!
Does anyone know if there are any options to opt out of the Canadian tax system if one is receiving government pensions as well as one from a private source? Also I am curious what would happen if I don’t file a tax return (I have been living outside of the country for 2+ years but going back and forth…kept filing though. I don’t get tax deducted at source so always have to pay back at filing time. However, what would happen if I just did not file and not pay those taxes if I was abroad? Would CRA simply withhold from my pension incomes? I wish I could circumvent this incredibly corrupt system of taxing those who are retired so much…my income is not high but 25% is quite high when one considers the high cost of living and the taxes already paid on goods and services.
Depends what country you are retired in and are you a non resident of Canada. They should not withhold tax if there is a Tax Treaty in your country of residence. Canada has their tax tentacles everywhere.
I have to file my taxes even though I have no income (my husband claims me on his taxes) to get the child tax benefits I have to file even though my income is zero as a stay at home mom. If you don't file, they don't give it to you. I would assume pension is the same way, not sure though.

Some areas in Lima, Peru are cheap, good quality food, fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fish and seafood, low cost transportation, cheap private medical services and safe. Having one of the lowest homicide rate as 6 per 100k , versus Mexico 24 or Ecuador 44.
I have retired a year ago. I do have some savings. I couldn't afford my condo apartment and my car anymore. My pension covers only maintenance fees , municipal taxes , car maintenance and gas. Not much left. Almost nothing. I sold my apartment and bought a sail boat in Miami. Now I sail all Caribbean and live on the boat. No car , no maintenance fees and no bullshit anymore. Almost 70 % of my food coming from an ocean and I collect coconuts on isolated islands. The rest is canned food and some fruit and vegetables I buy when I enter the marina of different islands or on mainland. That's it. No rent, no tax , no bullshit.
Not sure of the truth of it, but I've heard Uruguayan citizenship by naturalization is second tier compared to native-born Uruguayan. Your passport will always list your home country. While a technicality, I've heard it can cause issues when travelling on the Uruguayan passport. I was considering it for a time, but this seems like a bit of a deal-breaker. I've been to Uruguay, and it is not the liveliest place I can think of.
I get all your points but as a German who lives in Canada I can tell you that every place has its pros and cons. To everyone who complains about taxes in Canada I can tell him that Germany is way worse, Canada is tax heaven compared. Not really in numbers but in numbers of loopholes. We are in our late 50s and we will certainly try out a few more countries to spend the winter there, but we have seen many countries and know the cultural differences, (even between Germany and Canada) we know that moving simply to Malaysia or Dubai doesn't make you walking out of your apartment the next morning thinking "this feels like home". Edit: yes, Canada is a corrupt 3rd world country. Periode.
I agree with you about Uruguay. It is somewhat "boring" (in the best sense possible, IMHO), so definitely it is not for everyone. Anybody expecting more "vibrant ligestyles" should look at the neighbors (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru etc). Other than that, uruguayan "asado" is by far the most glorious in the planet...with some of the best raw materials at hand (Aberdeen Angus black/red, Hereford, Wagyu, Hampshire Down, Corriedale etc etc), it is not that difficult...
The next federal election is in 2025. That's your opportunity for change. It's called democracy. Fleeing the country for greener pastures is definitely an option. However, I'd prefer people stay in the country and help fix the problems.
Very good video. Once thing though. I am originally from Uruguay. We consider ourselves westerners. Our concept of "the West" is different. It comes down to whether your culture came from Europe or not. And ethnically we are predominantly of european stock as well. I myself am a third generation Uruguayan of German and Ukranian descent.
yes, I've been there, lots of homeless people and garbage everywhere, people are very polite but there's nothing to do besides the beach but only in summer.

I figured it was Uraguay, a few years back I saw the Vice doc about their legalization of cannabis. Their president at the time seemed like a good dude.
He was a socialist. He only introduced more taxes besides weed. Not great. But at least he lived by the word he preached. One can say many things about him, but not that we was an hypocrite. However, not really a great president that makes a country better than it was before trust me.
I left the Caribbean as a child and visited after 22 years. Trust me, it's a lot better except for the health care. I'm thinking of buying properties down there.
If you give me the choice between staying all my life in Canada, or all my life in Urugay but I have to cut down my own balls, I would choose the last option
Canadian politicians must do something about it, they can’t let country go downhill 😢, I came 24 years ago and up until 2020, everything was from perfect to good, then went down from good bad and now it getting worse…
I think Chile is a nice country. I would like to live in country where the politics is boring, US politics isn't that. Nor Brazilian politics. Uruguay is nice place to go. Chile too, is not Venezuela.
It's so sad to see what has happened to Canada. I remember what my dad told me many, many years ago, that you may live to see the good times end so enjoy what you have now. He knew things were already starting to go bad more than 50 years ago. He bought his first house in 1965 for $26,000 and that same house today is worth about $800,000. Hard to believe that an ounce of gold was also only about $30 back then. He's been gone for a long time now but he was absolutely right on and would have been shocked to see these outrageous, inflated prices that we have today.
When Andrew mentioned South America I was initially thinking one of two countries. One was Uruguay. The other was Chile. Both are similar, though Chile is changing as far as taxes and related.
I think the same. The only thing that annoyed me is their restrictions during Coco... no way to travel without the vax. For Chile, I'm wondering if it is really politically stable.
It was 6 years ago. Now, the country lost its focus. But, we are expecting this lefty government to finish in two years. Then, finally return to what it was before the "Bacheletism". A country of prosperity.

I'm a 27M just getting my footing financially and job wise. Is it possible to become this digital nomad without significant savings or an online business?
Same here my friend. It’s possible, though it’s a must to figure out ways to have steady income ( ideally independently ) with a strong currency that you can easily transfer for a good conversion rate abroad. I’m in Canada, but make USD which can be more ideal for South America in terms of better rates. CAD is alright. I know Argentina has cheap rent and decent prices on land, worth checking out 👀 Remember to find assets too, I wouldn’t be so reliant on saving money in the bank when you make it, the future is leading somewhere, wherever that somewhere happens to be makes it a very good option to have physical assets and work towards self sufficiency.
I love this country very much and I lived many years in another country with fear of being killed. Canada is safe and extremely beautiful. The problem is the actual government but fortunately we will have elections next year!

I am already living very comfortably in the Philippines on a low budget. My house rent is $234 per month, a maid who does laundry, dishes and cleaning as well as gardening is $1 per day. I get fresh fish delivered to the door straight off the ocean (which is 100 yards off the back porch) and the vegetables growing off the garden are delicious.
Add a zero to the rental in Canada but take away the ocean view, free access to warm clear seas, and no fresh vegetables or fish.

I'm from Chile, and after living in Canada for almost two years and working in a technician role, I have the opportunity to apply for a residence pathway. However, after my first experience with the awful healthcare system (in Alberta), the crazy competitiveness in the job market, the housing market, the food prices and their quality, the car insurance scam, the cost of phone plans, and of course the income taxes, I have decided to move back to Chile next year.
It is not the same working as a professional in your home country, but for me, it doesn't make any sense to pursue permanent residence while remaining poor in the long term.
Good decision!

Canada is out of control. I live on Vancouver Island and just got my property tax statements. Year over year my tax went up by 17.5%. What are these politicians thinking. Food is up double digits, fuel is expensive, and everything is up in price except our income. We have this huge national debt piling up and all levels of govt are increasing spending. In BC the provincial govt did a nasty move literally forcing some areas to drastically raise property taxes. The provincial govt said look we have this money available for the regional/municipal govts BUT it is only available on a matching basis so in essence the local govts get forced into raising taxes if they want the money.
Canada produces 6 millions barrels of oil per day. Population 40 millions.

Leave then.
I am in Europe - somehow all western states are declining - old virtues are fading - at least my country is failing slower than many others …… !!!
We Canadians are stuck with a healthcare system that costs a fortune in taxes and doesn't help when a person gets a less easy-to-diagnose disease. They wait until the person is almost dead to help and if you're older they often just let you die, without even having a diagnosis and doing the required tests. They might even do this with really young people sometimes but I don't know of any cases yet
And yet Canadians think our socialist healthcare system is amazing. I live in Alberta and had 2 neurosurgeries in US. I was fortunate to have enough savings to be able to pay out or pocket or could have died from the tumor doctors here they were unable to remove.
@@James-il3tq Yes, many of them do think that because their government and the government-influenced news tell them that. The people who go to the doctor for their yearly runny nose and haven't had serious illness especially think this.
Doctors often refuse to give medical testing to ill people because it costs money. Some of the tests they give are only allowed to be given to hospitalized patients and they often refuse to hospitalize a patient unless he or she is just about dead. Even if they do hospitalize the patient, they don't want to use the expensive tests especially if the person is not young, so they'll do something like a CAT scan and then "monitor" the patient for a couple weeks while drugging them up on valuum and stuff, before often sending them home and cutting some of the drugs cold-turkey.
Then the government even tells Doctors to save money by not giving medical tests to as many people and to avoid giving tests to the people who are (in the doctor's opinion) less likely to get a negative result or have a serious health problem. When a person comes down with a serious health problem they will sometimes take their sweat time and delay things for a month or two and at the end of that if the patient is still conscious and standing they will say, well you haven't progressed to a near-death (in their opinion) state so that means your just mental.
They often accuse the ill person of faking or imagining the illness and then tell them to take anti-psychotics to relieve their pain, weakness, and other physical health problems. I know of people who are physically unwell and can hardly function and the Doctors won't give them medical tests and also refuse to approve their disability payments unless they take psych drugs, which have nothing to do with their health problem.
Then some patients have severe pain and so many Doctors refuse to prescribe opioids because Opioids have been demonized and the Doctors fear getting in trouble too. It's true that opioids can cause addiction but so do all kinds of meds including ssris and they have no issue prescribing those. Opioids can also cause overdose deaths but it is better to take that small risk rather than leaving the patient in long-term unbearable pain.
If the Doctor won't prescribe it then the patient often buys illegal opioids from the street and those are the ones that are the most deadly in terms of overdose deaths because the labels are not accurate or even present on the meds. The real opioid epidemic is caused by the government and the drug companies.
Lots of severe pain patients in Canada just pretend that they are addicts and then they can get opioids for free from an addiction clinic. But not all Canadians know this trick or they can't get to a clinic easily. So if you say you're addicted to opioid drugs like morphine, then the clinics will give you opioids to treat your addiction but if you say you are not addicted but need opioids for pain then they'll likely not give you any. Some people want to be honest but sometimes you have to lie to those working under corrupt government rules. But if you say you're addicted and took your last dose twelve hours ago, they might test your urine and see that you are lying and possibly refuse to help you. I'm just saying that because I don't want to see that happen to anyone reading my comment.
I almost never lie but I'll give you another example of when it is okay to lie. If the government tells you they are going to castrate all gay males, then it would be right for gay men to lie and say that they are straight. Many Christians say lying is always wrong but there are times when it is moral. The problem is that humans are not very good at deciding when it is or is not moral to lie. Remember the people who will judge you for lying the most are often the biggest liars of them all. Don't lie at work though folks, you will get caught and lose your job. I just don't want anyone misinterpreting what i am saying and then losing getting into trouble.
I bet the only way to get amazing healthcare in this world is if you're super rich, but maybe there are some countries that give amazing quality universal healthcare. I doubt it though. In Canada, they are always trying to save money on health care in order to make up for all the money the government wastes.
As a high school student, i remember the high school would have the parents give the family doctor's phone number to the school. Then the school would monitor kids and pick kids who didn't look happy enough and then try to force them onto psychiatric meds with the Doctor, and if the student doesn't comply then the doctor will lie and say that the student is a danger, and then have him or her arrested and locked into mental institution.
The school would also call the Doctor if they thought the student had anything wrong with his or her physical health or if the student could not run far enough. Now the high school staff and the family Doctors are working together to convince the high school students that they are trans and then pressuring them to take trans drugs. What kind of sick country is this?
@James-il3tq, it's only that born and raised in Canada and those who never been abroad think Canadian health care is so great. I am in Toronto and every immigrant I meet says it's so bad.
Yet nobody pushes back against the socialist tyrannical regime?
During covid the cancer testing was so poor, people died waiting. Now people are dying in waiting rooms… I know a lady whose husband DROPPED DEAD in the waiting room!!

Yep.
In 1980, the Canadian corporate tax rate was 36%.
Today? 15%, one of the lowest in the OECD.
In fact, corporations only contribute 25% to overall taxes collected.
Over the same period of time, the feds cut building in social housing, and slowed spending in other areas. Meanwhile, thousands of new immigrants aren’t making anything easier on the health/education systems.
So here we are.
@@meuricehunt3104while that is good to notice, just know that when the truly wealthy are taxed too much they take their money / assets and leave. This is part of the reason many American companies either left or went under. Now we have very few ways to make a good living without some serious hassle. I'm not concerned for me, simply for the average man. And no, I do not fit any sort of wealthy category.

My husband is a senior Canadian military officer who has, and continues to express deep concern about the political trajectory of our country. We continue to stand and embrace the traditional judeo Christian values which created Canada, one of the greatest countries in human existence. Unfortunately, we have also realized the reality of our political situation here in Canada, which led us to down the pathway of seeking a second citizenship, shifting assets out of the country and preparing for a new life in the not so distance future. This decision has been challenging for my husband as he has devoted his entire life in the defence of Canada, only to find himself at odds with the 'new Canada' while concurrently being labelled 'the problem' in the Canadian military for bring a white, heterosexual Christian male. Just over the past year, twelve other Canadian military officers my husband personally knows have also started the process of acquiring a second citizenship and preparing for a new life outside Canada. This does not include the dozens of other officers and soldiers my husband knows you are questioning if they ought to leave as well. Unfortunately, this battle is not one that can be fought and won by the military as it is an ideological war which has captured the Canadian institutions while indoctrinating the Canadian population. Each morning I watch my husband proudly prepare his uniform, head to work, and serve our country, while concurrently watching over 100 churches burn across Canada without consequence and complete apathy from politicians and enforcement agencies, toppled statues, a morally depraved public education system hell bent on indoctrinating/radicalizing children, political demands for individuals of european decent to be abolished from positions of authority/hand over land/personal assets, profound levels of political censorship and propaganda, increased hostility towards Christians and Jews, DEI/CRT employment standards for maintaining employment or being hired, politically classifying parents as 'threats' to their children, unreguated abortion, the extension of civil rights for certain groups (i.e. leftwing) and erosion of civil rights for others (i.e. conservative), increased taxation and cost of living, illegal seizure and freezing of bank accounts, iIlegally shutting down peaceful protests, erosion of freedom of assembly/speech/religion among many, many other factors. The Canadian military, just like all other Canadian institutions, is ideologically compromised, and not just defends, but also advocates for this 'new Canada'. This is not the country he fought to defend. This is not the country or culture we will allow our children to grow up in. However, until our departure we will continue to fight and stand firm in our beliefs while petitioning our Member's of Parliament, participating in legal and peaceful protests, joining like minded causes and educating the public. We contiue to pray while concurrently organizing a life raft.
Well said.

If you do have money, you will be heavily taxed on unrealized capital gains. The recent capital gains inclusion rate change may cost you dearly, as I found out.
@@robertk5441 Good evening Mr. Robert - thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns. We are still learning the tax/financial implications of not just departing Canada, but also when operating in a new country. Nothing is easy, that is for sure! As a family with small children, and hopefully more in the future, our main focus is providing a life for our children. There are risks staying in Canada and risks moving to a foreign country. We do hope Canadians wake up to the reality of the political situation in our country before it is too late. Thanks for the comment and 'like'😉 All the best to you and your family
@@robertk5441 Based on my limited understanding, the exit tax only applies to the calendar year a Canadian departs Canada. Many of Canadians I know who have departed Canada did so in a phased approach to avoid the tax issues. For example, vacation in country 'x' and open a bank account, return to Canada, slowly start shifting funds out of Canada, selling off assets even home (rent), then when they leave the following calendar year or two later, no Canadian financial investments to declare, no home or assets. I am meeting with lawyer soon to discuss as I know my time is limited and Canada will only become worse, and it will be more difficult to depart
i live in China, and went to Canada for holidays less than 2 years ago, what impressed me about Canada is that the cost of everything was like 7 times more than China, and the quality of everything much worse, dirty and dangerous cities with old and slow subways , and 11 dolars for one day of subway system use, that is something i will never forget, because there were many homeless and people smoking crack in the subway stations.
By the way China is a tax zero country for all the revenue generated abroad, and has moderate taxes for the money generated in China.
I dont understand why the west is so expensive and high taxed and yet public spaces and public services are a lot worse than in China in many cases
Corporations control the majority of Western nations. Corporations have destroyed their politics, education, and demographics. Corporations have turned their women into commodities and therefore relationships don't last and their population is plummeting which is why they have to import people from around the world to work and pay taxes. Without immigration, this system cannot last as corporations want submissive, desperate, low-paid serfs.
No one wants to live in China except the chinese and expats looking for business opportunities. Not having to live under the boot of CCP is more valuable than anything else.
I'm happy for you to stay in your beloved China.

Agree with a lot of the comments below . We can only come to our own conclusions as to how Canada is ranked 12th given that it’ has one of the most corrupt governments around . I now live in Paraguay . Best decision I ever made .
It cost me a fortune to move my business and family from Canada to a red state. While I am happy now and pay only a fraction of the taxes I used to pay in Canada. I am open to have multiple residency somewhere just a backup in case of my red state become like Canada one day.

Andrew, I would love for you to cover security in these countries, but not personal security per se (getting mugged). I recently had an idea for a business in the automotive industry that would greatly benefit from the proximity of Piedras Calientes, Mexico to the US. However I would be concerned with having to deal wirh organized crime, i.e, extortion money for setting up shop; or even general corruption preventing me from starting a business because officials are on the pocket of established competitors.
Interesting idea.
I had a friend who opened a factory rebuilding automotive brake components in N. Mexico. They lasted two years.

I was born in Canada and lived there 35 years. Now when I look at the situation there with astronomically priced housing and rental markets, unconscionable gouging by the grocery magnates, and the same hostage situation to the oil companies, I am so glad I left. Even if I wanted to return, I wouldn't be able to afford it, not even close. How badly has the government f**ked up to put the citizens of a wealthy nation in such a predicament? Absolutely shameful. Something I just thought of after reading another comment. The car insurance scam infuriated me to no end. A car is essential in Canada because public transit sucks or is not available and distances are huge. Insurance is mandatory and yet it is sourced out to private companies who are free to gouge to their hearts' content knowing that Canadians need their vehicles. B.C. is one province that has government insurance and the savings are huge. This is how it should be done across the country.

@@billfarley9167 that's truth
it is funny, because corruption level in Norway as example, in reality is stupid high. Denmark too. So - this list go out of window.
Corruption in the West is only available to the elite and done at the extreme level. While countries that are considered highly corrupt offer it to anyone, like bribing a police officer to avoid a speeding ticket. The reality is the powers that be dont see corruption as the problem but that use "plebs" have access to it.
My guess is Norway works similar to Canada in that the corruption is institutionalized. So, if it's part of the rules, it's not considered corruption. LOL, these lists are almost certainly created by the corrupt folks themselves, and they probably gauge the rules to this list, based on what makes them look the best. Just, the rules themselves, have implicit corruption in them, and those details get lost in the analysis. I've seen banana republics with less financial controls than Canada. Canada shouldn't be 12th.. maybe 120th. It's basically a modern-age monarchy. Wealthy private families control, and everyone else is expected to work for them, like a serf. Great if you're a noble.. but the majority of people are one missed paycheck from being on the streets.
If that is true, it says a lot about the rest of the countries in the world !
If Norway is anything like Canada, the corruption is legalized, meaning that having to pay a huge sum for permission to something is no longer seen as a bribe.
@@ickster23 that mean EL Salvador must be first on list, as example, like best country.

Yes, Canada has become an expensive country to live in, this is the price to pay when the country has a great reputation and for accepting so many immigrants. The fact is that 50% of the people living in Toronto were not born in Canada! The demand for goods and services increases and so are the prices. This said, let’s compare the cost of living index for Toronto and Montevideo taking into account that 100% is the cost of living in New York City. Toronto is at 66% and Montevideo is at 54%. Average monthly net income after tax in Toronto is $4,660 while it is 1,700 in Montevideo. Those are in Canadian dollars. The crime index is very high in Uruguay and very low in Canada. The overall quality of life in Canada is very high while it is low in Uruguay. Finally, the Human Development Index according to the United Nations puts Canada in 18th position while Uruguay is in the 52nd position. It depends where you want to live, in a highly developed country that will provide you with a lot of opportunities including a safe and clean environment or a third world country which is at least a 12 hours flight from any developed country in the world!
I don't care about Canada's reputation. It's now a terrible place to live- except for ultra wealthy.
This is a channel for wealthy people to find their 2nd home base to reduce tax burdens and register a second passport =DD. So its only referring to the nicer neighbourhoods in Uruguay =D. Not for living there! But obligatory "Canada BAD, xxx GOOD" headline for more views.
Its always funny to read comments that complain about crime rates/car theft in Canada, then continue to say how they'll go live in South America instead. Canada has significantly less violent crimes, weaponized assault, rape and car theft than the safest S.A country (which in this case is actually Uruguay). If you ACTUALLY want to go somewhere with less crime, go to China; there's no crime with all the surveillance going on LOOL
A lot of people are gonna have a stark realization when they arrive in south America.
Have you been there?
@@nomadcapitalist yes, I was born there and lived there most of my life. I live in Canada now and it sucks here but it sucks more over there.

This video is about Canada dude. Americans can get on with it.
The corruption is built into Canadian policies, therefore it doesn't appear to be so bad, on the surface. So, just like the US, a lobbyist from a big corp can donate to a politician and get industry friendly tax benefits. Business as usual. But, what makes Canada worse than the US for corruption is the bank policies when it comes to lending to non-established businesses. All the major banks will give loans for a home, but that's about it, if you are one of the 'underclass'. Business finance, is reserved for established businesses only, and it's a policy. They won't even read a business plan, if they don't like the author. This is why there's such limited competition when it comes to grocers, banks, cell phone providers, etc. Nobody can get a loan, to compete with them. Quite often, family members have high positions in both the monopolistic corporations, but also the banks that lend to these corporations. A telling stat is the number of funded startups in Canada. I believe it is 1/3rd that of the US, per capita. Only wealthy and connected people will therefore have the funds to emerge in the Canadian market. This also means a lot of highly skilled Canadians are forced to take a lower salary, given the control the banks/government have over job creation, if they choose to stay in Canada. If it weren't for the US investing in Canada, I think you'd see almost no startups at all in Canada, it's that bad.
That said, if you want a low or middle-income salary, with no real ambitions of success, Canada is for you. Canada brings in boatloads of immigrants, for these jobs, but a lot of them leave in a few years when they realize their opportunities are no better than where they came from.
THIS! THe biggest myth is this myth that in Canada everyone is equal and it's an equal opportunity country. It may be if you have no ambitions in life and just want to sleep eat and smoke weed but if you want to be somebody it's only the McCains and the traditional multigenerational wealth, or their buddies, getting all the opportunities. It's amazingly successful at hiding how feudalistic it is.
As a Canadian small business owner I can agree 100%. We have a communications tech company with no default and annual revenue $2Million - 4Million for the past 15 years and can’t even get a corporate credit card for any balance! (Yes our credit cards are prepaid!). Yet more troubling we compete against favorite monopoly Telus with fiber internet delivery in rural BC and are all but denied access to highway corridors for placing buried fiber. It’s pretty much a closed shop here. Monopoly business = Government in Canada.

I have been looking at Uruguay for years. A trip to Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile I think is a worthy endeavor to visit a peaceful part of the world.
I heard that Uruguay gives you citizenship but not nationality (not sure maybe the opposite) anyways what it means is that you get full rights within Uruguay but not outside of it. Which means on your passport your country of origin is written and your uruguay passport will be as strong as your original one. I am surprised that you didn’t mention as you usually do the best research I come across which makes me wonder if this isn’t true. Would appreciate a feedback on this!

That was true in the past but is being changed and should go into effect in October 2024 or so…
The CRA, excessively high taxes, rampant corruption, high cost of living have conspired against me being able to stay in Canada. I have been working (as a civilian contractor) for the Canadian military for the last 22 years helping the country in that way and other ways, like being foster parents for several disturbed and distressed teenage children and have been helping a number of families in my local area.
But my back to back contracts ended this year due to corruption within PSPC bidding process. I am now 72 and should have retired years ago but now am unable to pay the huge tax bills. So the CRA is coming to raid my house and "garner" aka steal my bank account.
This is not very conducive to staying in Canada and trying to help in some way. I used to walk past the range of homeless shelters downtown Ottawa every day for years and saw scores of homeless people on the streets and their bodies being loaded into endless streams of ambulances and police cruisers.

Does anyone know if there are any options to opt out of the Canadian tax system if one is receiving government pensions as well as one from a private source? Also I am curious what would happen if I don’t file a tax return (I have been living outside of the country for 2+ years but going back and forth…kept filing though. I don’t get tax deducted at source so always have to pay back at filing time. However, what would happen if I just did not file and not pay those taxes if I was abroad? Would CRA simply withhold from my pension incomes? I wish I could circumvent this incredibly corrupt system of taxing those who are retired so much…my income is not high but 25% is quite high when one considers the high cost of living and the taxes already paid on goods and services.
Depends what country you are retired in and are you a non resident of Canada. They should not withhold tax if there is a Tax Treaty in your country of residence. Canada has their tax tentacles everywhere.
I have to file my taxes even though I have no income (my husband claims me on his taxes) to get the child tax benefits I have to file even though my income is zero as a stay at home mom. If you don't file, they don't give it to you. I would assume pension is the same way, not sure though.
Depends on whether or not you want to be "legal". I see very little implications either way.

Not sure of the truth of it, but I've heard Uruguayan citizenship by naturalization is second tier compared to native-born Uruguayan. Your passport will always list your home country. While a technicality, I've heard it can cause issues when travelling on the Uruguayan passport. I was considering it for a time, but this seems like a bit of a deal-breaker. I've been to Uruguay, and it is not the liveliest place I can think of.

I get all your points but as a German who lives in Canada I can tell you that every place has its pros and cons. To everyone who complains about taxes in Canada I can tell him that Germany is way worse, Canada is tax heaven compared. Not really in numbers but in numbers of loopholes. We are in our late 50s and we will certainly try out a few more countries to spend the winter there, but we have seen many countries and know the cultural differences, (even between Germany and Canada) we know that moving simply to Malaysia or Dubai doesn't make you walking out of your apartment the next morning thinking "this feels like home". Edit: yes, Canada is a corrupt 3rd world country. Periode.
I agree with you about Uruguay. It is somewhat "boring" (in the best sense possible, IMHO), so definitely it is not for everyone. Anybody expecting more "vibrant ligestyles" should look at the neighbors (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru etc). Other than that, uruguayan "asado" is by far the most glorious in the planet...with some of the best raw materials at hand (Aberdeen Angus black/red, Hereford, Wagyu, Hampshire Down, Corriedale etc etc), it is not that difficult...
Boring beats dangerous.

No water.
Canadian politicians must do something about it, they can’t let country go downhill 😢, I came 24 years ago and up until 2020, everything was from perfect to good, then went down from good bad and now it getting worse…
I think Chile is a nice country. I would like to live in country where the politics is boring, US politics isn't that. Nor Brazilian politics. Uruguay is nice place to go. Chile too, is not Venezuela.
Uruguay is the best country is South America
@@gustavogoncalves3900 I think Chile is, Uruguay is a nice country too.
@@gustavogoncalves3900 chile is not socialist, next year we change government again and we will continue being neoliberal as always
It's so sad to see what has happened to Canada. I remember what my dad told me many, many years ago, that you may live to see the good times end so enjoy what you have now. He knew things were already starting to go bad more than 50 years ago. He bought his first house in 1965 for $26,000 and that same house today is worth about $800,000. Hard to believe that an ounce of gold was also only about $30 back then. He's been gone for a long time now but he was absolutely right on and would have been shocked to see these outrageous, inflated prices that we have today.
You can just get lost in Canada and no one could find you if you wanted to.
You're so naive dude.
what’s your thoughts on Argentina? Overall, with the NWO, government, etc.
Or Chile??
Out off control inflation, high poverty rates in some cities, wealth tax, consistent missing of deadlines for debt payments….
Any anglo country that's not third world we can escape to?
Not any more, Australia is a mess
Malta.
New Zealand and Isle of Jersey
My favorite is Gibraltar
Bermuda
Great content. I have been putting together a plan to be 5 flags in the last year.
When Andrew mentioned South America I was initially thinking one of two countries. One was Uruguay. The other was Chile. Both are similar, though Chile is changing as far as taxes and related.
I think the same.
The only thing that annoyed me is their restrictions during Coco... no way to travel without the vax.
For Chile, I'm wondering if it is really politically stable.
It was 6 years ago. Now, the country lost its focus. But, we are expecting this lefty government to finish in two years. Then, finally return to what it was before the "Bacheletism". A country of prosperity.
@@chrishay6695 it is stable, and the most important part, you can have a home in the south with your vault to protect your assets when ww3 arrives in the upper north hemisphere, stay safe
@@mariadavis3797 that's not good news. Unfortunately, no country will get peace with these politics around.
@@ARUchannel1 We already are in ww3, it's a longer process but the war is on biotechnology, climate change and wave weapons.
I'm a 27M just getting my footing financially and job wise. Is it possible to become this digital nomad without significant savings or an online business?
Same here my friend. It’s possible, though it’s a must to figure out ways to have steady income ( ideally independently ) with a strong currency that you can easily transfer for a good conversion rate abroad. I’m in Canada, but make USD which can be more ideal for South America in terms of better rates. CAD is alright. I know Argentina has cheap rent and decent prices on land, worth checking out 👀
Remember to find assets too, I wouldn’t be so reliant on saving money in the bank when you make it, the future is leading somewhere, wherever that somewhere happens to be makes it a very good option to have physical assets and work towards self sufficiency.
I wonder what you'd get if you asked North Koreans if their country is corrupted.
North Korea is not a country, it is a feudal kingdom.
Can't argue with you on that. We have gone down the rung in so many ways.
Ecuador is BETTER.
Why?
😂😂 ok
Thank you Andrew
Could you give comments on Vietnam ? Passive income is not taxed , i think
It's a communist country
I love this country very much and I lived many years in another country with fear of being killed. Canada is safe and extremely beautiful. The problem is the actual government but fortunately we will have elections next year!
