    🙋‍♂️ I left in 2025. It's great! Walkable and bikeable cities, affordable groceries, my health insurance actually pays for stuff, there's public transit, the food is safer, and not absolutely every I do funnels into only 12 companies.

    I moved my family. When my kid needs higher education, it won't cost more than our home. I can send him out in the streets without worrying he'll be hit by a truck going 80. Active shooter or intruder drills aren't a phenomenon in his school.

    I only wish we could have done it sooner.

    Where they started Nunya Business, which is obscenely wealthy. However, there's a fantastic opportunity where they need an enterprising foreigner like yourself to agree to handle a bank transfer processing fee and hold on to all their assets before the government takes it all and. . .

    I wish I could as well. I'd be out of here in a heartbeat. I'm already single, live alone, work remotely in the tech sector. It would be nothing for me to pick up and leave. It's just not that easy to be able to move to a different country.

    I remember last time I checked, my score was only like 350 which is far below what you need to be considered for permanent residency in Canada. Canada would be my country of choice in this situation.

    No, they have a system of ranking you where they weigh all kinds of aspects of your life. Do you know French? Do you have relatives in Canada? Have you ever worked for anybody in Canada? Did you go to school in Canada? Etc. Based on these answers you get a score. I only scored a 350. I think the minimum is like 600. The highest is 1200.

    I left during the first Trump presidency. Best decision given the circumstances.

    I don't even know where I would go at this point if I was picking up stakes.

    It's a little bit easier to make the decision (given the opportunity) when your country wants to genocide you and your friends.

    I made the decision November 2024. No regrets, just a lot of tears and sweat

    If things don't turn around soon, I don't see any other option.

    I felt very welcome in China and Vietnam. Japanese people tend to be a little colder, but theres a huge us immigrant community here for a reason.
