What field are you in? How difficult is it to find a job in Canada?
So difficult. You have to fight 20 browns and 10 Asians before the 2nd round. In the 2nd round, you must provide your financial documentation since 18 to prove that you're not an untrustworthy dirty immigrant. They will low-ball you for your salary but you will be able to build the all-valuable Canehdian experience. As long as you are a diligent worker that works for 60+hrs per week, you too can be paid 60K a year.

I use "old growth" (I will call them OG from now on) Canadian citizens as benchmark.

Is it unethical for OG Canadian Citizens to move to USA for business or job reasons? Nope!
Do OG Canadian Citizens make this implicit promise to live and work in Canada by virtue of being born here? Nope! That will be absurd to even think about that!

So it is not immoral or unethical for me too if I wish.

Remember folks, do not try to be more Canadian than OG Canadians.
Not unethical. Just a life choice. At the end, no one will come to you/your family and feed you for your patriotism if things go south.
Thanks guys. It is a good way to think in terms of OG Canadians who are also emigrating somewhere..

I hope they make it like 6-8 years to get citizenship. That is how they can prevent 'onward immgration'. After I get my passport in 2025 that is
This will not matter if people decide to leave without getting the citizenship just like me.

Btw, anyone here knows how to inform CRA about non-resident status? Looks like you cannot just up and leave and informing CRA that you are leaving is the most important thing.

I don't think Aus people are trying to move to Canada, which is becoming a sh*t hole. Aus is better in every way except for the proximity to the US.
Mehhh, grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Australia seems too isolated, especially if your family lives in the Americas and most of Europe. Some people say the weather is better, but that is subjective, not everyone wants to live with the heat and all those bugs down there. Actually millions of people hate the heat.

I can't imagine myself spending Christmas when it's almost 40 degrees Celsius outside.

It's a good country for sure, but I'll take Canada any day. It's like the US but with better K-12 schools, safer cities and without the division, crazy politics, bigoted evangelicals and the daily mass shootings.

You can just call general inquiries line and tell them the date you moved out. Informing is easy, harder part is the tax implications. You will start paying taxes if you have TFSA or other registered accounts. You also pay taxes on capital gains and need to file taxes next year for the income earned this year. If you received any benefits like CCB after moving out, you would need to pay those back. There could be more that I am missing or may have made a mistake.

Calling is enough? When I looked online, there is a form called NR73 that shows up, not sure how to submit it after leaving.

Calling should be enough if you completely cut ties with Canada. Look through the form, if you still have significant ties and so on, they might argue that you are still a tax resident of Canada and need to pay income tax to Canada, in which case you would need to prove that you paid taxes abroad to get them to waive taxes because it would be double taxation.

Socialist policies play some role, but based on my reading, it's because of very low competition with oligopolies in all sectors, which means they don't do capital, R&D investing, and high immigration of course.

Second this. Max I can accept is 4 years like it used to be. Anything more than that and for a salaried not IT person, I believe it'd be financial suicide especially if the house prices don't come down.

I'm already leaving, if this happens I won't bother coming back unless my home country's political situation demands it.

Sorry to burst your bubble but prices aren't ever coming down mate. The Canadian economy is built on real estate appreciation. The question is how fast it will rise not if it will decrease. The federal govt. ministers have explicit stated they will not cause a decrease in house prices. What they are trying to do is get people locked in for 40-50 year mortgages at monthly payments of 70% your net income. The Banks are in on this scam by extending amortization and so is the Bank of Canada by not increasing rates further. Either get your income up faster than the rate of real estate appreciation or you'll never afford a house.

Buying a house in Canada is a scam anyway. What they are saying in the news is that even rents will not come down to pre-pandemic levels which means a 1BR will be minimum 2300+ (it's going for 2600 - 2800 where I live) even if the interest rates come down which is completely unaffordable for new immigrants.

Congrats! You have just found an un-explained part of Canadian immigration. No where in the law they explain what "serious" is. People put no in it mostly. A yes almost always results in a PFL. That being said, PFL can always be answer. Putting "Yes" can somewhat delay your application, cost you a bit more. Is it necessary? I do not know. Few legal folks whom I have talked to have said the same. What is serious? Unclear.

Some folks err on the side of "caution" and put yes for a number of now mitigated medical situations. Others no. I have seen both doing okay. I have not seen anyone being challenged of misrep based on this one question alone. I also do not know if there are any court cases in which this question or its answer has been challenged in court of law. Not to say they do not exist, but they are not common atleast.

Sorry, I wish I had a more straight forward answer.

PS: I am not a lawyer neither this is legal advice.
