My options are the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, or Australia. Where I choose will depend on available employment opportunities, real estate prices and several other factors.

Along with these temperature increases, the CCCR says Canada is experiencing increases in precipitation (particularly in winter)

These are some of my reasons, but not all.

Canada isn't as bad as some people make it out to be.
Housing market is only an issue if you feel that you absolutely MUST live within or very close to a major city. The two hardest things about migrating to Canada is actually the extremely cold winters, and that it can be a little tough to build wealth considering the amount of your income that goes towards taxes.
Can't do anything about the weather besides learn to accept it. And it's only hard to build wealth if you go with the wrong mindset and lifestyle expectations, and it's exacerbated if you go without much financial backing. Once you willing to work and build yourself and most importantly live modestly, it becomes easier to build wealth in Canada.

Yes, there's people that make good money here that still opt to leave. Simply because the money you making now is not everything. Those who do usually do so to set it up so that their kids and grandchildren can have more opportunities and a better standard of life down the road. They see the direction that this country is headed and decide to get out before the shtf.
So what usually happens in these cases, is they bank as much money as possible for as long as they can, so that when they leave they have enough money to be able to transition easily. Buy property, vehicle, get qualified in that country if needed, start a business, etc

I get you but I was wondering why some of the 1% decide to stay or even some rich indians.

Many options to consider for cheap retirement... Costa Rica and Panama have visas specifically for expats. Costa Rica especially is a safe destination.
Also Malaysia is worth looking into. If I remember correctly, a certain imported-from-Canada Red Hart Government cohort built a bunch of waterfront skyscrapers with chinese money, and split to Malaysia when water got hot... They also have expat visas and good KFC... open 24 jam

Brazil and Mexico are very cheap compared to Trinidad. Was showing my mom the $1 a pound baigan and she was stunned. I don't think she's gonna give up on Canada though.
For comparison
Consumer Prices in Mexico City are 4.21% lower than in Sao Paulo (without rent)
Consumer Prices Including Rent in Mexico City are 5.32% higher than in Sao Paulo
Rent Prices in Mexico City are 34.13% higher than in Sao Paulo
Restaurant Prices in Mexico City are 7.42% higher than in Sao Paulo
Groceries Prices in Mexico City are 6.96% higher than in Sao Paulo
Both are a Copa flight away, with prices to Mexico being cheaper. I hear that American expats and remote workers are making Mexico City somewhat less affordable than it once was though. Depends on if you want to learn Spanish or Portuguese. Having visited both countries, I'd say Brazilian culture is a lot more similar to Trinidadian culture in general. Croatia is another interesting option if you want to apply for a digital nomad visa.

Soldier what you speak of is the absolute normal and obvious thinking.
Do you have any updated advice for SuperiorMan?

Go look for a man elsewhere, nobody here is interested in you.
