      Hmm, yes and no. Not everyone is as close to family, and they can only do that much, meaning they can help but only up to a point, actually it has as many benefits as it has disadvantages.
      Some people thrive elsewhere while some do better locally, some are more patriotic and more attached to the mother/fatherland, some less.
      The speaker in this video speaks from the point of view of a relatively privileged person who has at least 2 choices, keep that in mind too.

    I am a Family Physican (GP) trained in the UK and I moved to Canada November 2019. I think moving to a massive city like Toronto is not ideal. Toronto and it's suburbs are very expensive and also not a very family friendly area considering housing and neighborhood. Too densely populated. Work-wise, I guess it was just your personal experience given your specialty. As a GP, I am still busy during COVID and I can even get busier if I want. I live in St Catharines which is a small city in the Niagara area. About 1 hour 20mins to Downtown Toronto. Very nice neighborhood. Housing is cheaper with lots of space in the house, backyard and parks. The lake side is beautiful. Beautiful waterfront to visit. Only 20 drive to the Niagara Falls from my home. I really love it here. I also enjoy the practice here better. I guess we have different experiences but location is very important. Like I tell people, the only down side of moving to Canada is the cold otherwise, the quality of life here is better.

      Thanks Emmanuel! Good to hear you are thriving in Canada. I actually loved Toronto, didnt have any issues with it at all.. if we stayed long term, we probably would aim to move out to the burbs, I guess the issue is that during COVID all elective surgery was stopped, there was no meetings and very little recruitment.. so I guess my hand was forced, either elsewhere in Canada, or back home

One cancer surgeon from Sunny Brook Hospital literally said he is not allowed to perform Cancer surgeries with the lockdown rules. Clearly this shows our gov does not care about us.

    Well I already left the Canada last year after having lived for 5 years. I am in my early 30s , south asian immigrant. I had a good paying job. I left because more so because of the social isolation and the pandemic measures. Plus I feel most Canadians may seem polite , but not friendly as in - extremely hard to make friends. Ethnic groups stick to themselves and don't mix. I found dating to be extremely hard and toxic. People have high individualistic mentality and don't open up.
    I am now in working in Mexico / Latin America and my mental health has greatly improved. I am able to socialize and women here aren't as stuck up as in Canada. Real world interactions are valued here unlike in Canada where it's all about the apps and social media. Also who doesn't like some good consistent sunshine. Overall , I am happy to have left Canada and am not coming back.

I'm glad that they ended up enjoying the very best of Canada; but, I know how biased and draconian Canadians are. Canada used to be one of the best and nicest countries and people, not anymore. The majority of Govt.'s and authorities in Canada have just turned it into a Conservative, red-neck, abusive horror story for a huge majority of Canadians. But; being a Dr. he would have been fine no matter where he lived, Canada is definitely divided into the 'Haves' and the 'Have-nots', and if you're not above a certain Tax bracket in Canada, you're not considered worth the ground you walk on and are open to severe Govt. abuse.

Only 1 difference - my job was a dream and ironclad. I never lost it, I was working to the last moment almost. My heart was bleeding I had to leave it to return where I need to start again. Now I am looking for a job, finished quarantine just 2 days ago. Maybe I also need to make similar video sharing my story. Toronto is indeed very expensive, but if you are a big city person, Toronto is a dream. However in a Covid time keeping my son away from grandparents and family - not an option. We are all Canadians as well, so we did not closed the door, Canada is wonderful and Toronto is amazing, but I don't have the lifetime remaining to start again 10 times. We'll see.

    I’m glad you and your family enjoyed your time in Toronto and are now happy back home in London. I can only imagine the stress and isolation during COVID19 in a new country. Hope you will visit again soon. Best wishes from 🇨🇦

    So happy you got to experience some of what our country offers before lockdown. And that your son is a Canuck! ❤️. My son is heading to U of T in the fall for his graduate work in engineering. We are looking at cost of living and wow! Thankfully he can swing it with his funding. But compared to the east coast Maritimes and prices... it’s a shock. He will be paying more for his one bedroom or studio then we do for our house mortgage. :).
    Love your channel. You have a great skill for videography (I’m a photographer and can appreciate the effort). your commentating is nice as well. I Will be following for future videos and adventures. 😀

    Hi Dr. Jude,
    Good to share experiences cause you never know what difference sharing them may do for someone else who may be having certain issues and need a change. Experience teaches wisdom.
    All the best.

    My granddaughter enrolled in a Masters program in London the year before the Pandemic hit. Being from New England/USA, she is facing the same effects of COVID on her life in London that you all experienced in Canada. She is all along and have not been able to come home. No graduation ceremony but she was able to find a job in her field in London but she has to work from home so there is still the isolation. She spent Christmas there along. The isolation has been really tough for a single, 26 year old who had lived in NYC before moving to London for school.

      Oh no poor girl! The numbers are right down now and things are opening up, so hopefully she can get out and enjoy this amazing city now!
