If you Decided that you've had enough of US, what Country would you Move to?

I am not racist. But you are a vile kvnt who would have kept Irish slaves.

He doesn't do facts.

I am talking about illegal entry to Canada. They don't let you stay. If canada did, guess where all recently deported folks would have gone before January 21st 2025?

Columbia, that's where excitement's from.

Definitely not India

Interestingly (or not) Canada is NOT particularly friendly toward the US and quite hostile to Americans who might be interested in moving/retiring there. One might think that the US and Canada would openly welcome citizens to move and live fairly freely across the border but nope.

There is NO non-lucrative or retirement-type visa for Americans. There are work visas for those of working age but Canada requires an expensive and PITA English language test requiring long distance travel even for those who speak English (or French) natively. There are NO special programs for Americans similar to the numerous 'special relationship' ones available in countries like Germany and the Netherlands.

At one point we considered whether Canada could be a good retirement destination and were surprised at the general level of hostility expressed toward Americans, by Canadian government FAQs and in relevant forums and reddit groups.

Canada might be a generically good neighbor, a better neighbor than the US these days, but Canada is not interested in Americans being up there.

This wasn't my experience at all, nor the experience of most every expat I know. After 6 years of working in LA, I got a massive raise to move to Europe, plus a bunch of moving benefits to make it painless, including one homeleave trip per year for me, and eventually my wife and children when they came into the picture. Usually if a company is willing to hire you over all Europeans, they are willing to make it worth your while.

As far as over-regulation, personally I made a few trips in the beginning to the immigration office, and I needed to carry my passport and other papers when I travel, and there is a car safety inspection each year. Otherwise, I haven't experienced any cumbersome over-regulation.

I don't think immigration is a problem where I live, or for that matter, in the United States. I think it is great mingling with all the various European cultures, not to mention the non-Europeans who also moved to Europe. Both my company, and my new country, have exposed me to many nationalities and cultures. Every year there is an International Festival where all the expats from all countries get together to share foods and trinkets from their culture. Makes a great one-stop shopping place for Xmas presents. One thing I truly appreciate is the variety of authentic restaurants. And the beer. The cost of living wasn't a shock as I moved from LA and prices were pretty similar, as were the income taxes.

I have no complaints about healthcare delays either. Over the last 30 years, I've gotten everything I've ever needed promptly, never experiencing this mythical long waiting period for me, or my children. For example, when I developed runner's knee, I was promptly able to see a sports specialist doctor, get an MRI which cost me a small co-payment, which was partly re-imbursed, and then a prescription for 8 "free" sessions of physio and ultrasound therapy over the course of two months. After 5 sessions, my knee was better, so the guy cured a shoulder problem and a posture problem I had too.

And I had no problem buying a 3-bedroom standalone house together with my wife, nor was I ever worried about things like a school shooting.

I haven't mentioned non-American benefits like the 25 days of paid vacation per year, which grew to 28, and all the great nearby destinations to visit, either for a long weekend, or an extended 3-week vacation.

I left America when it was arguably greater than today, before the student loan debt crisis, before the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, before the Internet bubble burst and housing crashes, and before all the current divisive politics and hatred. There are so many ways the move to Europe has benefited me, with virtually no drawbacks or regrets, except fewer opportunities to see old friends and family in the states.

ssshh, mine is worth $2M AUD, but seriously, negative gearing is not the issue, it is housing supply because families want to buy. My kids have bought, because the salaries are good and fair, not skewed like in US, and employment virtually full. We have fair work laws, high minimum wage and look after those who cannot work.

The ironic thing is that people are complaining about US , but voted for and support a govt that doubles down on the working class and benefits only the billionnaires. There is no trickle down, only rich getting outrageously richer at your expense and living standards.

Everything starts when you look after the bottom rung, provide work for them, provide support. You have less crime and less divisiveness.....and less people looking ftr elsewhere to go

well look now you are just starting a game of 'dueling links'

fact is, salaries have gone up a lot, pretty much across the board. There is no real denying this.

And until a year or two ago, wages for the poorest quintile were actually improving faster than wages for the top quintile. That has since reversed.

All this 'wages are stagnant' talk is BS, politicians riling up people with lies. You oughta spend some time googleing 'myth of stagnant wages' and 'myth of inequality'

If I could Ireland or the United Kingdom.

Why wouldn’t they be hostile to Americans? We’re idiots. We speak with such confidence even when we’re wrong.

That said, Canadians have purchased property all over the U.S. and invaded us in other ways, like with their crappy actors and comedians. Nickelback, anyone? Is Justin Trudeau moving here for Katy Perry? Let’s hope not.

I’d prefer Mexico anyway. Warmer and #10 on the World Happiness Index, higher than both the US and Canada.

Paraguay

I loved the German-influenced part of Switzerland and hated the French-influenced region. Worst Swiss city I visited was Lausanne. Honestly, it reminded me of some parts of the US with homeless, beggars, graffitti, trash everywhere. Not a fan.

Mexico

Might as well go to Saudi Arabia.
