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.

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.

Then why is your country the highest for healthcare bankruptcies.

There are two words Yanks can't grasp, "On Average'. So put yourself in the same as everyone else, on average you pay more for your healthcare. On average, you pay X amount even after having insurance. On average, you have more bankruptcies due to healthcare costs. So pay nothing, some pay a bloody fortune.


So on average ........

Jesus Christ.

That's caused by people with little or no insurance. They also have no or reduced income while they are sick.

My health insurance paid out over $3 million for my care while I was on my wife's coverage.

Speaking of an "Exodus" of sorts.....
am I am idiot to think that Canadian Jews should consider an Exodus from Canada's Liberal Party?

Mortimer, I think that you are absolutely correct and I also believe that Christians like myself should begin to research ways in which we can assist the people of India from wherever we live. I live in the Canadian province of Ontario, Canada..... I believe that Canada's New Democratic Party are brilliantly set up for a massive Exodus of Jews out of Canada's Liberal Party over to the NDP!?

He is BJP and historically known as Hindu nationalist i think this could mean more tolerance for christians in the hindu majority nation

Why? They can finally get the medical care they need. They won't be paying Canada's exorbitant taxes.

Given that Canadians outlive Americans by an average of 5 years, it's obvious that Americans are not getting the health care they need at all. When you're paying $9600 a year in health insurance premiums, with a $15,000 deductible, and 1/3 of your bankruptcy filings are related to medical bills, you don't have a health care system. That's a complete scam.

Two weeks ago I went to a clinic in a province with the WORST health care in Canada. I was told it might take as long as 2 days to be seen. The waiting room was full. I waited for nearly an hour for triage, where I was immediate sent for lab work, and then seen by a doctor, X-rayed, given pain meds, and sent home with instructions for my home care and under what circumstances to come back. My out of province bill for these tests and treats was $0.00.

What exorbitant taxes would those be???? Our taxes Average Canadians pay less in taxes than the combination of US taxes, and health insurance premiums.

We look at the difference in taxes on income and services offered on both sides of the border to determine where individuals would be better off financially.
