why is everyone leaving canada ?

In 2025, more people left Canada than in any single year since records began in 1952. Over 120,000 Canadians and permanent residents packed up and left — and 2026 is already breaking that record. This isn't retirees chasing warmer weather. Over half of everyone who left were workers aged 25-49 — the exact group every economy depends on. Nearly half of all departures came from Ontario alone, with B.C. posting the highest emigration rate per capita in the country. The reason? Home prices have outpaced income growth by more than 3x since 2000. Canada's price-to-income ratio now sits at 8.4 — anything above 5 is considered severely unaffordable. Add a sharp immigration policy reversal on top, and you get the biggest exodus in Canadian history. Canada isn't collapsing. But for a growing number of people in their prime working years, the math stopped working — and staying stopped feeling like the obvious choice. #Shorts #Canada #WhyPeopleAreLeavingCanada #CanadaHousingCrisis #CanadaEconomy #Immigration #Emigration #CostOfLiving #HousingCrisis #CanadaNews DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.
