Brook Kidd, 20, who moved to Queensland's Sunshine Coast with plans to explore Australia, told her 11,000 TikTok followers that she had decided to go back home to Canada.

Ms Kidd said the cost of day to day expenses, particularly rent and groceries, had made things difficult.

"This is honestly something that I never thought I would say, but I'm coming back home," she said.

"...The cost of everything in Australia is a lot. Rent is astronomical and so are groceries.

"Although the wage is better you do need a consistent job to keep you on your feet."

The 20-year-old was baffled with the price of healthcare for foreigners.

“Healthcare, it's not as bad as most places but for foreigners it is pricey,” Ms Kidd said.

“If you are someone that needs consistent visits, just be prepared to spend a decent amount of money.”

Visitors who come to Australia and are not permanent residents are responsible for their own healthcare costs. 

Ms Kidd admitted she should had known how expensive life in Australia would be before she arrived.

Many in the comments section left their sympathies for the Canadian.

“At least you tried it and realised it wasn’t for you, some people don’t even take that step to try,” one said.

“It's sad what has happened to Australia. I always thought I would stay in Australia but now I can't wait to leave,” another added.

It comes after couple Hayley Banks and Cole Whiteside, a Canadian couple living on the Sunshine Coast, told SkyNews.com.au they found it challenging settling into Australia.

After living in Queensland for just over a year, Ms Banks said rent was astounding for the place she got in return, as she currently pays $620 a week in Currimundi.

She agreed with Ms Kidd that healthcare is much more expensive for foreigners, saying it is cheaper in Canada.

Ms Banks put rent and healthcare as her most expensive necessities.

“I have not gone to the dentist since being here and have no plans on going back because it is so expensive. It is so much more out of pocket,” she said.

The 22-year-old said the cost-of-living crisis keeps the couple on their feet having a strict budget of $200 a week for groceries.

“$200 a week for groceries seems like a lot, but it’s not. It goes so fast,” Ms Banks said.

“Bananas are so expensive here. That’s one thing Cole gets really mad about.”

The university student was shocked with the price of fuel in the country, claiming diesel and fuel was “definitely” much cheaper in Canada.

Ms Banks said it was “really hard” for her partner Cole to find a job in his mechanical field after applying endlessly when he arrived in the country.

“It took him exactly 12 months to get an apprenticeship. He applied for retail, restaurant work and bar work. He had a hard run finding his feet in Australia for the first year,” Ms Banks said.

Ms Banks is currently working at a café and studying primary education full time at the University of Sunshine Coast.

The one issue she is juggling with is the act of working and studying, claiming her university gives her limited class options to allow for a good study/work life balance.

“For me I need to work a minimum 30 hours a week and do all my study work, it would be nice if I could move some of my classes online,” Ms Banks said.

The one thing the Canadian couple agreed on is how beautiful the country they live in is, and they plan to stay around for a while to complete their TAFE and university courses in Queensland.
