Do you enjoy living in Toronto? Or are you looking for your next adventure?

A Toronto TikToker was shocked and concerned after watching a video of an American asking if they should move to the 6ix.

An American TikToker, Dan, posted a video of Toronto using the audio that states, "Should I move here?" with a message asking, "Is Canada better than USA?"

Canada was ranked the 3rd best country in the world behind Switzerland and Germany, according to the U.S. News & World Report. Toronto is so walkable and is a melting pot of cultures and diversity. It hits different to me. #shouldimovehere #torontolife #torontotiktok #visittoronto #toronto #visitcanada🇹🇩 #canadavsusa #travel #tiktoktravel #walkablecities #walkableurbanism #worldcities #worldclasscity #internationaltravel #internationalcity #globalcity #globalcitizen

In the caption, Dan mentions, "Canada was ranked the 3rd best country in the world behind Switzerland and Germany, according to the U.S. News & World Report. Toronto is so walkable and is a melting pot of cultures and diversity. It hits different to me."

This is true. The U.S. News & World Report stated, "Canadians pride themselves in encouraging all of their citizens to honor their own cultures." The report also gives a shoutout to some celebrities Canadians are proud of, such as Joni Mitchell, Avril Lavigne and Drake.

However, a Toronto TikToker, Jin Choi, doesn't seem to agree. Instead, she is completely mind boggled by the statement and replies to Dan in a video.

"I don't think y'all understand how much this scares me," Choi said. "Because I want to leave Toronto so bad."

"I hate it here. And it's voted one of the top three cities in the world in the world. Where the heck am I going to go?" the TikToker added.

Fellow TikTokers chimed in to share their opinion on the matter after the two videos caught the attention of many.

"Sis I just moved from Toronto to Seattle and EVERYTHING is worse," one person said.

"Moved from Toronto to Vancouver. I wanna go back lol," another shared.

"I've been thinking about mars or Neptune tbh cause if this is #3 then 💀💀💀," a TikToker joked.

Many have commented that moving to Montreal and Vancouver could be other options for the TikToker.

But, what do you think? Is Toronto all that bad?
