Canada ranks No. 1 for expat relocation destinations on TikTok

Article content

New research from financial experts at Remitly, which specializes in cross-border payments, found that Canada ranks at the top of TikTok’s most popular relocation destinations.

The researched shows more than two-thirds (67%) of TikTok users searched for travel inspiration on the platform and there were more than 16,500 TikTok hashtags dedicated to moving and living in Canada, which topped the list as the most talked-about expat destination on social media.

The hashtag #movetoCanada alone has been used over 16,200 times, more than 11 times more than the U.S which ranks 10th, with just over 2,100 TikTok hashtags.

“Understanding the cost of living and potential job prospects is particularly important (when it comes to relocating),” said Ryan Riley, v-p marketing at Remitly, in a statement.

“Expenses like rent, utilities, and groceries can vary dramatically, even within the same country. Tax systems also differ around the world, and unexpected deductions or mandatory contributions could take you by surprise. As for jobs, understanding what roles are in demand is one thing, but it’s also important to get to know hiring processes in the country, as expectations typically differ across borders.”

Here’s the top 10 list of which countries expats are posting most about:

1. Canada

2. Spain

3. Australia

4. Portugal

5. Thailand

6 France

7. Mexico

8. Japan

9. Vietnam

10. U.S.A.
