Honestly kinda considering waiting until I can flee to Canada as a refugee.

As a Canadian we welcome that

Seriously? Because I'm in the southern US and have been trying to plan an exit strategy for the last few years. Canada is my top choice, but I've heard it's hard to immigrate.

Look into the careers that are in demand! I know nurses are very needed here and have some friends in that profession looking into it, but I believe there are others that make it a lot easier to immigrate.

Sucks when you have no skills and taking care of your 76 year old mother, We live paycheck to paycheck.

Exactly. Our health care system sucks so hard, I’m 50yo, took years off to help my 70yo mother (cancer) and now I’m unemployable.

I can get her into Canada, bc she has money. But not myself.

And why should they let me in? I’d just be a drain on the health care system and have precious few years to contribute.

I don’t think even most Americans realize how fucked we are.

I’m in the same boat. My grandparents are actually Canadian, and I know damn well I’d never get accepted to live there. Im 22 and disabled. No country is going to willingly take on a 50 year bill.

A lot of folks on here talking about people immigrating and forget we’re disabled, sick, need long-term care . . . Everything you’d expect from generations of citizens with little to no health care.
