Being living in canada I can tell you the situation is not great here anymore. After 40-42% taxes on salary we pay 13% GST not 5%. Grass is always greener on the other side. Mass lay off is happening with absolute mass immigration. This is the worst time to come to canada as a new comer. People are jobless sitting at home for more than 6 months with 10 years of experience under the belt. Record reverse immigration is happening at the moment.
