Why a Growing Number of Canadians Are Leaving the Country for Good—and What’s Driving Them Away

Lauren Chervinski left Canada two years ago and says she has no regrets. The 34-year-old Winnipeg native, who lived in Vancouver for her last seven years in Canada, moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, with her husband in August 2024. She says her new home offers increased financial opportunity, cheaper real estate prices, and safer streets.

Running a small yacht repair company with her husband, Chervinski said they saw their revenue grow by 50 percent in the first year.

“The most common theme I hear among people who want to leave Canada is that they’re not confident in the direction that the country is headed,” she said in an interview, noting that she’s heard this feedback from Canadians she’s helped move as part of her consulting business, as well as the expats she’s met in Florida.
