According to Kelly Kash, he has lived and worked in Canada and has also achieved many of his dreams.
He also became a citizen of Canada, but he wants to change his location and pursue another dream.
He said:
“Bye Bye Canada. 12 years ago, I landed in Canada as a young, wide-eyed, and somewhat naive boy chasing a dream — like so many others before me. I came in search of opportunity, growth, and a place to call home. And for the most part… I found it. Canada has been home away from home. It gave me my first real job, my first car, my first real relationship, my first property and a lifetime of memories.”
Man leaves Canada after becoming a citizen
Despite becoming a citizen, Kelly said the country is no longer what it used to be when he first moved there.
His words:
“In 2023, I proudly became a Canadian citizen. And now, in 2025, I’m choosing to say goodbye — because I know it’s time for the next chapter in my life. This decision has been far from easy. My entire world is here — my family, my friends, and my investments. But I also have dreams that demand bold action. Dreams that require me to take a leap of faith — again. Truth is, the Canada I moved to in 2013 isn’t quite the same today. A lot has changed, and not all for the better.”
Kelly said there are economic uncertainties in the country, and that it made life difficult.
However, he said Canada would still be his home despite going out in search of new adventures.
He noted:
“I can’t ignore the economic uncertainty, the housing crisis, and the job market struggles that have made life more difficult for Canadians. So, I leave not in bitterness, but with gratitude… and hope. And even as I go in search of new adventures, Canada will always be home. This is not goodbye forever. Just a temporary pause. Until then, thank you, Canada. For everything.”

“Hey dude, I hate the part where you said “Things have changed, and it’s hard now” You can’t tell me you’re still the same as you were in 2013. Or you were changing and expected things to remain same? Don’t try to put confusion until those pushing for Canada japa.”
