Moving out is not a solution Th common sense is to stand for change. The Canadian mindset is a disaster joke. I'm sure you will roaming around and you will come back to sadness of Canada
I looked up Hello Fresh. You like much more elaborate meals than I do. I tried delivery once years ago, now I do my own. But in any huge city, simplified home cooking may be absolutely necessary.
@@alhassantahiri5782 I see zero sense in that statement. I've never become that enmeshed in any place, from the year of my birth. My father never let us bond with any location. But I'd venture that no matter where you call home, there is some place better.
I'm an old person and can honestly say, all of the Bulgarians that've crossed my life's path have been super intelligent and oh so sweet. I can't say enough good things about them. There is no doubt in my mind you will fall in love with Bulgaria and it's wonderful folk.
Ironically I'm Bulgarian who lives in Canada and who chose to immigrate before 15+ years. But as a native Bulgarian I wish you all the best in your adventure to choose exactly my country. Good luck in Bulgaria. Hope you gonna find better life and many new friends there. 🇧🇬🇨🇦☘️
She might want to reconsider... and fast!!! Ruznitski-stan is on the verge of announcing, yet another "partial-mobilization" nation-wide... Peskov just announced it "unofficially"... Quoting: "There's absolutely no need for another mobilization in Ruznitski-stan, everybody stay chill... absolutely not!"... this declaration actually only states the exact opposite... which is, just after new year is over, Putler will decree yet another partial military mobilization(to be read as full-scale) in Ruznitski-stan...!!!
Bulgarian adventurer here. Really happy for you Alina, I hope you feel welcomed here! Definitely consider Plovdiv over Sofia if you are looking for a balanced city with multiple things to do.(also pedestrian friendly) Would be a pleasure to have more people like you here in our city. Build and enjoy your new life here ^^
Good luck Alina! I think you will be happy in Bulgaria. I'm from the US and I have been in Serbia and now Albania since July, and I don't want to go back to North America anytime soon! Things are better here.
i'm so happy for you Alina! as a bulgarian, i'm so proud! i've been following you for a few years now, ever since you did your video about my city - Plovdiv! you're most welcome in Bulgaria, hope you love it!
I visited Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, all on three separate occasions during the 2010’s pre-lockdowns! I liked all three cities. They all had their own charm. Canada looked much more appealing back then. Nowadays I have zero desire to visit there, especially post-lockdowns! I’ve seen Canada’s dark side!
Good luck to you. It will work out for you, Alina. Your momentum alone will get you there. Hard work and dedication pay off over time. Unfortunately, many of the doors open using only one key. That key is patience
Everybody will be moving over to Europe after the end of this Russia/Ukraine war! Bulgaria is very nice and Sofia is only 5 hours from the Black Sea coast! Good luck Alina!
i was one of them.from Feb 2024, very simple back to my EU birth city / country in Capital City Bratislava, Slovakia , dual national Canadian (toronto) aswell
Seriously, you THINK SO? If you follow European channels, most of them say European countries are slamming doors shut. The continent is too close to troubled zones.
The EU is falling apart. Neverending political, economic and migrant crises. They lost access to Russian cheap resources. They are losing the Chinese markets. And in 2025 they'll get new tariffs from Trump. Everyone is leaving the EU.
@@Murmilone It would be a mistake for the US government to slap tariffs all over the place. Those of us informed of economic history haven't forgotten that the Great Depression was propelled by stupid use of tariffs. That happened in a Republican government. My econ professor said tariffs were the WORST thing to do at the time. Two major policy mistakes was the Fed tightening the money supply and Congress foolishly passing in idiotic tariff law.
I wish you the best, darling Alina! I I hope my country will treat you well and you stay there long, long time feeling happy and fulfilled. Having immigrated in Canada 21 years ago, me and my husband are looking forward to leave it now. It's incomprehensible how this once great country is turned to this broken, sad place it is now.
Hey Alina! :) I am Bulgarian, our country is great, has a good climate, delicious food, a great location, interesting culture and a great variety of ancient historical and natural sights to see - from sea resorts, through valleys full of historical artifacts to amazing mountains! Also, in my opinion Bulgarians are quite outgoing people and it's easy to make friends here! :D We have everything! :)
Let me add my agreement. I took a tour all around the country. So many positive memories in places like Sofia, Plovdiv, Verliko Tarnovo, Koprivstitsa. My wife went back 4 times because our first trip made her MORE eager to be there!
As a Bulgarian I am so happy that you chose Bulgaria ❤ Hope Bulgaria will be the right place for you! Bulgaria changes every day for the better and attracts a lot of people! Wishing you all the luck 🙏🙏🙏.You are an amazing young lady!!!
When I was living Bulgaria back in 1998 it was absolutely impossible to get any kind of visa for Canada. Who would of thought that 25 year later Canadians would be queuing for Bulgarian visa. Wishing you luck and welcome to Bulgaria. I still think that you should seriously consider Varna as a place to settle down. Good luck.
Congratulations Alina! I'm really happy for you, Keep traveling around the world, The world is a great place. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us, Let's enjoy this trip.
Happy to welcome you soon to my country! You will love everything here, from the weather, to the wonderful places, and not the last the warm and friendly Bulgarian people.
Hi Alina! Im sure everything will be much faster than what you have been told and you will proceed as planned so dont stress out. As Bulgarian myself i want to tell you that you have made great choice of next country you will call home and im very happy that you made that choice ( and the logic behind that choice is perfect). I want to wish you all the best in your new life there and keep in mind that in case of any struggles you always could ask bulgarians for help,they always will be there for you ( if not just txt me and i will do my best to help you).xxxx
Good luck with the move. As a Canadian Bulgarian I can attest that the bureaucracy is daunting and borderline nonsensical but should come right in the end. Bulgaria, as you know, is wonderful and the people fantastic. Hope to see you around in Sofia. Good luck.
I guess same three to five weeks (35 days) leads to mid-december. before Christmas hopefully. Extension of accomodation at your address until end of year is best for you.
I'm so happy for you, I'm glad the paperwork is (almost) done. Bulgaria is a great choice, I love that country. And I'm also happy, because you will be a lot closer to Hungary (where I live) and I hope you will visit our beautiful capital and country. My daughter's American boyfriend has just spent a month with us and he was blown away. Much love 🥰
Wherever you go, I know you'll classy it up. People think things will just magically turn around after Pierre gets in office but boy are they in for a treat. 10 years of Trudeau has left some marks, I hope they're not permanent but who has time to waste.
Just a note from someone, who has been living in another European country (Germany, but originally from Bulgaria) and has traveled to more than 20 European countries - people have the same problems everywhere. It's the scale and how such problems are addressed that differs. But the problems are there. You don't like inefficient bureaucracy? You have it in Canada, you most certainly have it in Bulgaria, Germany, France, Italy, Poland etc. You don't like crooked politicians? If there is a country out there, where that's not the case, please let me know - I'll buy a ticket and move immediately. Lack of or poorly managed public transport? Even in Switzerland (renowned for its punctuality) has problems with that. If you go to another country looking for an escape for very common, worldwide spread problems, you will get a cold shower experience pretty fast. If it's a different culture and just different perspective on things that you are looking for, moving to another country is pretty exciting and will enrich you beyond your wildest dreams.
Fair enough, but that's not really why I'm moving. Primarily I wanted to live in Europe for close proximity of travel in the region. I think Europeans take it for granted they can just hop on a train or plane (for a reasonable price) and be in another country in an hour or two. Canada is a very expensive and isolated country and it has been difficult to establish a home base there while I am doing this job that I love. I'll see how things go in the coming years, but I'm really looking forward to trying out Bulgaria especially with my Slavic background.
@@AlinaMcleodexactly I was thinking about. you have Slavic roots, you'll easy get the language, so it should be much easier to adapt, good luck, Alina
Good luck with papers and hope to arrive in Bulgaria as you planned! Something about the food here in Bulgaria - guess you already know it - you can afford going out for dinner each eve. As I was working with Austrians here in Plovdiv, they barely cooked anything, was telling me that it is so cheap to eat out here, so there is no need for them to cook themselves. And for the food itself - you know the taste :)
You did your part, now it's up to destiny. I was in your shoes. I initially moved to Albania (Vlore), then applied for Portugal (not the golden visa) and ended up in Spain. There are other immigration/residency ways that you'll find about only once you live in the country. I visited Bulgaria briefly and found some parts of it similar to Canada. Accept the outcome, good karma knows better
Loved the video so much! The intro made me emotional as well. Canada will always be a part of you, and who knows-one day you might come back and start again! Or perhaps you’ll never return and settle in different countries instead. Life is unpredictable and fascinating. Wishing you all the luck and happiness, Alina! I’m so glad to see another woman exploring the world!
Your mother made a huge turn in her life when she left Eastern Europe and crossed the ocean heading to North America. Years later, you’re returning to Eastern Europe close to your roots. This is probably not accidental.
You are obviously in great need of prayers. I will pray for you that things will turn out in the best way. And I believe that many other believers who love you will also pray for you. Don't worry, everything will be fine.🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇
Good luck on the move Alina. Thanks for taking us along. Kudos to you for the edge walk. It stressed me out just watching. I had to end the video when one participant leaned back. I was getting too anxious for him. ❤
wouldnt worry too much, my first visa from ex warsaw country took 4 months, Sept to 1st week January you might want to throw in another week or two waiting for christmas slow down period
Alina, I know how it feels the stress of having to wait for the paperwork and everything else with your mom moving it's a lot and on top of everything else Canada post is striking to.
Congrats Alina, nothing to regret in Canada. Bulgaria is nice place to stay and cheap to live. Take a flight for 30 Euro and flight to any part of Europe, or take a car to drive up north or south to Turkey at taste the best grill ever. So many nice places to see and cheap to stay. Enjoy Christmas and Christmas food around in Europe, pay 30-50 for airbnb and stay in Alps. So many options to enjoy life in Europe.
We so feel for you. Your frustration with bureaucracy is something we had to deal with when selling my grandma's property in Portugal. We keep saying patience. And you know it's all you got right now. We wish you the best in getting to the other side of this. Sending you much love and affection ❤❤ from Harriet, Jim and Yuki
What's next with the years? How long social media will feed you? Coming from wealthy Canada and having speaking Russian you could easily create some real estate income in Russia in the previous years but now it is late with the prices and everything.
My great grandparents are on both sides are from Bulgaria and have been there for 3 times(1993, 1996, and 2018.) Bulgaria is an amazing country and am planning to move there when I retire in Canada. I wish you good luck and hope you meet good people in Bulgaria.
Congrats Alina. I am a latino who started following you in order to improve my English, and now I am a huge fan of your stories. Hopefully you'll get your Visa soon.
All the very best of luck Alina! Not that you need luck… you’ll ace it (living in Bulgaria) and take it all in your stride as you seem to do with everything in life in general. Fingers crossed the visa comes before the end of the year. Greatly anticipating the next video covering the move :)
Here's to a new chapter in your life. Bulgaria is nothing like Canada - in a good and not-so-good way and I'm sure you will enjoy it a lot. Keep up with the videos for us to follow
Interesting choice of words "my relationship with Toronto". So true. People form relationships with their cities. Good luck w/ Bulgaria. It's on my radar with several other possibilities.
Успех с кандидатстването! Прояви търпение, надявам се няма да чакаш прекалено дълго и резултатът ще е положителен. Нямам търпение да разкажеш за преместването в следващите видеа. Поздрави от София и първия сняг тук.
WOW! That's a BIG move! Hope everything goes well!! Pretty cool on the CN Tower Edgewalk. They didn't offer that back in 2002 when I visited the tower before taking in a Red Sox/Blue Jays game.
it tough moving around i did as a painter for 10 years, living your dream how you want is what you do best. I it takes a strong person and a secure person to do what you do. I got started taking more trips watching your channel. getting out picking a destination is fun. I start in my own states. feels so good to get out in the world.
Love the video. I can relate. I too have a complicated relationship with Toronto and have been living here since I was a young adult. Lately I have been wondering if it is time for a change? This video is inspiring me to try something new.
Alina, I noticed the easiest path is to marry a Bulgarian citizen and relieve yourself of extraneous requirements for residence. This is only for permanent residence because the way I read it, you don’t get automatic Bulgarian citizenship:though you could apply for it later. In your case, you don’t know anyone there personally who could facilitate it and you don’t want to do that but its always something to consider in the event other avenues for obtaining permanent residence there are either too expensive or closed to foreigners. My point is settling down in a new county is far from easy! Best wishes on obtaining your immigration visa. 😊
Good luck for your new life in Bulgaria. I'm in the UK and also plan to leave next year for a new life abroad for similar reasons to yourself. Hope it all works out. Also, if I ever visit Toronto, I'll have a go at the edge walk. Looks awesome!

wouldnt worry too much, my first visa from ex warsaw country took 4 months, Sept to 1st week January
you might want to throw in another week or two waiting for christmas slow down period
Alina, I know how it feels the stress of having to wait for the paperwork and everything else with your mom moving it's a lot and on top of everything else Canada post is striking to.
Yeah I'm hoping the strike will be over before December!
South East Europe is the best and affordable for living right now. You made a good choice Good luck to you
All will be good 👍🥂

Here's to a new chapter in your life. Bulgaria is nothing like Canada - in a good and not-so-good way and I'm sure you will enjoy it a lot. Keep up with the videos for us to follow
Thank you very much!
Interesting choice of words "my relationship with Toronto". So true. People form relationships with their cities. Good luck w/ Bulgaria. It's on my radar with several other possibilities.
Успех с кандидатстването! Прояви търпение, надявам се няма да чакаш прекалено дълго и резултатът ще е положителен. Нямам търпение да разкажеш за преместването в следващите видеа. Поздрави от София и първия сняг тук.

I left Canada after 7 years too of arriving there. I love Canada but i had too many struggles too.
Congratulations on your relocating ❤love Bulgaria 🇧🇬
WOW! That's a BIG move! Hope everything goes well!! Pretty cool on the CN Tower Edgewalk. They didn't offer that back in 2002 when I visited the tower before taking in a Red Sox/Blue Jays game.
Wow, she’s such a talented woman! She’s beautiful too😅
it tough moving around i did as a painter for 10 years, living your dream how you want is what you do best. I it takes a strong person and a secure person to do what you do. I got started taking more trips watching your channel. getting out picking a destination is fun. I start in my own states. feels so good to get out in the world.
Both YYZ and YYC are going to miss you. All the best in the new country!
Congratulations and good luck Alina
Here I go once again with my suitcase in my hand / I am running away down River Road / All the best Alina.
Congratulations Alina Mcleod
That Ukrainian Orthodox Church is beautiful on Broadview! Love that spot
Exciting time ❤😊
Hey, Alina! Good luck on getting your visa soon. Wishing you all the best in your new country of resisence. 😊
Love the video. I can relate. I too have a complicated relationship with Toronto and have been living here since I was a young adult. Lately I have been wondering if it is time for a change? This video is inspiring me to try something new.
I'm glad! Always good to consider different options.
Alina, I noticed the easiest path is to marry a Bulgarian citizen and relieve yourself of extraneous requirements for residence. This is only for permanent residence because the way I read it, you don’t get automatic Bulgarian citizenship:though you could apply for it later. In your case, you don’t know anyone there personally who could facilitate it and you don’t want to do that but its always something to consider in the event other avenues for obtaining permanent residence there are either too expensive or closed to foreigners. My point is settling down in a new county is far from easy! Best wishes on obtaining your immigration visa. 😊
You are always welcome back here in Toronto...MY new home town!! Cheers and Go Leafs Go!!
Good luck for your new life in Bulgaria. I'm in the UK and also plan to leave next year for a new life abroad for similar reasons to yourself. Hope it all works out. Also, if I ever visit Toronto, I'll have a go at the edge walk. Looks awesome!
