Canada's great escape: Cost-of-living crisis drives record exodus in 2025

[shockedcanadian]

People are leaving Canada in droves. America is absorbing our talented and our wealthy. The only ones staying are the Creepy Ones, politicians and government employees.

Ontario is responsible for 47% of all people leaving? Open up your doors America, you have the ability to grab educated, top talent. Listen to their stories just as the West Germans would listen to the East German after they escaped...

Canada's great escape: Cost-of-living crisis drives record exodus in 2025

Statistics Canada reports that 54,530 Canadian citizens and permanent residents left the country in the first half of 2025, the highest January-to-June total on record.

Statistics Canada reports that 54,530 Canadian citizens and permanent residents left the country in the first half of 2025, the highest January-to-June total on record.

The figure exceeds the previous high set in 2017 and puts 2025 on pace to surpass 2024’s full-year total of 106,134 to 118,000, itself the highest annual emigration since 1967.

Many cite high housing and living costs, with 79% pointing to housing affordability and 65% to inadequate income as key factors. Others mention difficulty finding suitable employment, especially immigrants who arrived with high expectations and soon discovered job mismatches or job scarcity. Issues such as harsh winter climate, social isolation, and challenges integrating into Canadian culture also play a role, particularly for some newcomers.

Ontario accounted for 25,604 departures, or 47 percent of the national total, followed by British Columbia with 12,017 and Alberta with 6,246. Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador recorded the lowest outflows.

The data tracks only citizens and permanent residents leaving permanently; it excludes non-permanent residents, whose exits rose 54 percent in the first quarter to 209,400 amid federal visa caps.

Canada’s population grew 0.05 percent in the first quarter to 41.55 million, the slowest pace since 1946 outside the pandemic, as immigration targets fell to 395,000 for 2025 from a planned 500,000.

Where are they going? Seems Canadians are leaving Florida in droves too---maybe they're going to NYC, another Marxist utopia.

Canadians exiting Florida and businesses feeling the exodus

Canadians are making a mass exodus of Southwest Florida, and now businesses on our Gulf Coast say they're feeling the impact.

They are not going somewhere more expensive, nobody moves somewhere more expensive unless they just came into money. Many Canadians leaving are not coming to the U.S., they are going to SE Asia, where it is hot year round and much less expensive.

Many head to America. Some of them after a lifelong career in government which is the only good paying career in Canada give back to their Canadian taxpayers by leaving for America, buying a home in Florida and spending their pension money there.

It's funny as hell. They are the least patriotic people but they love to send the Creepy Ones out to destroy others.

The collapse is coming to Canada. Just as in the Soviet Union when they destroyed their most loyal and intelligent, Canadian security apparatuses do the same thing here. The same result will occur especially now that America knows so much about our system and the facade we promote...

Dude, you should probably speak with a mental health counselor.

If you knew what I knew you'd feel embarrassed for making that comment,

No I wouldn't. You should speak with someone about your increasing paranoia.

I'm going to be homeless within a month.

Cool eh? All one big mirage I suppose after 30 years of interference in my life.

You may not care, but important people in your country who make it their business to understand what allies represent certainly DO care.

I have to take the arrows and do my best. Millions in earnings denied from me. Canada has been far worse off for it and they don't care, just as the East Germans and Soviet leaders didn't care.

Now with Texas having a larger GDP than the entire nation of Canada even though they have 10M less people and with 10s of thousands a month leaving Canada, they are starting to realize that fluff and optics don't survive in the Communication Age.

I'm just the Messenger.

They can come to the U.S. if they like. They are nice. We are nice.

No matter what sort of community you want, you can find it in the Lower 48.

No socialized medicine, though.

 

[Captain Caveman]

No socialized medicine, though.

And that'll be a wake up call to go back.

Have ypu followed the large number of Canandians who paid into healthcare their entire lives only to be allowed to die (or offered state suicide) when they needed it most? Sure paying a monthly insurance fee is new but at least those who need healthcare will be served and live.

Hey, Snidley, did the "Creepy ones" take your house yet?

Statistics Canada reports that 54,530 Canadian citizens and permanent residents left the country in the first half of 2025, the highest January-to-June total on record.

Canada has 37 million people. So you've had a whopping 0.1% of your population that wants to leave.

Taxes are being abused.by the Security Industrial Complex from the creepy TPS on up, cut the police budgets and have talent thrive rather than being persecuted by criminal covert cops and our economy might eventually be saved. Otherwose, Canada, lead by Ontario; will become insolvent no question.
