People always mention moving to Canada but nobody ever takes their own suggestion and moves there. Maybe it's not that great afterall.[/quote]

? Ok?  ^^PP stated "People always mention moving to Canada but nobody ever takes their own suggestion and moves there. Maybe it's not that great afterall."  I addressed that statement.  People do move there.[/quote]

People move there out of convenience and that's it. Hardly anyway dreams of moving to Canada the way they do the United States, or France, or England, or Japan. It's just like "Oh, sure it's right there.... why not?" The easy option. [/quote]

I lived in Japan for several years as a young adult and I adored it but it would be very hard to live there permanently unless you look Japanese. You don’t even have to be Japanese, you just have to look like you blend in so people don’t stare at you constantly. The food was amazing, it was incredibly safe, people were nice and admiring because I spoke good Japanese, but I was very aware that I’d never fit in and would always be a curiosity. If you move there with family and don’t have any Japanese ancestry you will never be a citizen. Personally I would not want to raise my kids in a country where they could never attain citizenship or meaningfully participate in public and community life. [/quote]
