Refugee from Canada
Canada, a good idea? Or not?
A forum by and for immigrants, emigrants and returnees who like Canada or maybe not?
Every immigrant has their own experiences in Canada. Many good ones, certainly. But also some bad ones.
How do the good and bad experiences compare? What are your considerations? Will you stay in Canada, or are you perhaps part of the significant group of returnees?
A few years in Canada... and then back again; or further. Surely that's possible? We investigate, we tell, and we report.
What are some of the reasons immigrants leave again? Link: the reasons.

Who wouldn't want to move to Canada?
Everyone is eager
Canadians don't know anything better than that the whole world wants to move to Canada. Because, well, it's the best country in the world, after all. Canadians have been hearing that all their lives, so it must be true, right?
Some are really trying in Canada
But sometimes it doesn't work out
It's possible you don't really feel at home in your new country. There may also be other reasons why you want to leave again.
Some even move on to yet another country.
Looking at other people's experiences
Some of all insights
For years, there's been a constant coming and going in Canada. What motivates people and what has everyone experienced?
Maybe we can all learn something from this?
How dare you say anything negative about Canada?
Let's be honest, isn't Canada a fantastic country? The scenery is beautiful, there are plenty of opportunities, the people are mostly friendly, and there's plenty of space. Oh, and wait a minute, it's actually a very wealthy country too.
And yet, there are people who don't feel at home in Canada at all. Now it's their turn to say why. With that information, you can do whatever you want. Are we crazy? We don't think so.
But it's a fact that not every country is ideal for everyone. And perhaps that's a good thing. Enjoy the differences!
