We came to Canada from our home countries looking for clean air, safe streets & financial growth.

Unfortunately in the last year, both myself and my partner got layed off. I managed to find myself a contract position but he is still struggling to get anything at all (doing his absolute best, working part time jobs, minimum wage, you name it).

We are both highly educated in our fields, both being in Tech. We have substantial work experience and are confident in our ability to do our very best at our jobs.

The reason I write this today is, because slowly, I am losing all hope in a better life. I genuinely think we had better potential and growth opportunity in our home country.

We don’t have the jobs we know we deserve. We face silent racism on an ongoing basis. We have accumulated debt and have downsized to be able to make rent.

We live pay cheque to pay cheque. Are highly stressed. Our health has suffered tremendously.

Has anyone had a similar experience in Canada? Has anyone been able to grow from it? Is there a future here?

We really love the country. We have a community here. We have made good friends. We have hobbies we like.

But we are slowly getting tired of not being able to be productive and expand our careers.

Any advice from expats living abroad in different countries?

How do we make this even happen?

It has now been a year since my partner has been looking for a proper job. And I am extremely stressed all the time because the entire financial burden is on me. And I can’t make ends meet.

My primary goals are studying and Fitness. I have an exam coming up in six months. My time zone is GMT+5:30. 28M from India. I want someone who is strict with me. I have study every day at any cost. I am up for studying over voice or video calls few times when I don't feel like studying. Also I'm planning to wake up in the morning around 4:00 am daily and study.If anyone of you is planning the same, hmu. It'll be really helpful to me if you ping me in the morning. By doing whatever, that everyday goals must be reached. I'm expecting to stay consistent for the next 10 months.

Hmu.

I'm a 31 yo, F from Southeast Asia (GMT+8). Im 7 months into weightlifting, after having transitioned two months ago from a bodybuilding program.

I do my research, but Id like to ask help from other lifters on tips to improve form and execution. I have found certain 'cues' to be very helpful - cues Ive learned from other Redditors, and hopefully from accountability buddies in this community.

This will sound like a letter of intent but I'll make up for the occasional questions by blindly cheering for you as you attempt (and succeed at) a new PR.

Hello, 21M this side. I’m looking for someone with whom I can share my weight loss journey with. Always struggle to stay consistent with the weight loss process.

|| || |I'm currently preparing for the LSAT and looking for an accountability partner to stay motivated and consistent. My goal is to study regularly, stay focused, and push for the best score possible. I’m using resources like 7Sage and LSAC LawHub, but I sometimes struggle with procrastination and would love to have someone to check in with. |

• I’m aiming to attend law school in fall 2026.
• I find competition motivating as well. Let me know if you are interested in competing for who can study the most in a week or get the best score on practice questions.

I’m wanting to meet friends. I’m a woman in my late 30s. I enjoy going to the gym each day and have about 30 pounds to lose. I would love to talk about your goals with you and send daily updates of progress and even just talk and get to know someone. I would prefer people around my age.

I'm in the US (CST) and I am really hoping to get back on track in December with calorie tracking and strength training. Preferably wanting to share daily food diaries and/or pictures, weigh ins, etc. - whatever we decide. I am ok with one-on-one or small group.

I'm a CA final student, exam in May 2025. I've struggled with procrastination and slacking off for a long time, but I want to stay consistent with my studies.

I believe having a study partner could really help keep the momentum going. Here's what I have in mind:

-We could discuss what we've studied each day and share our progress.

-If we're familiar with each other's subjects, we can clarify doubts or ask questions.

-We could even try study sessions together, and figure out what works best for us.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, let me know!

Hi, I'm a data scientist based in the UK. I've been using SQL and Python for my work but have been relying too much on AI. I want to get back to the basics solve challenges in websites like Hackerranks and prepare for high-tech interviews in SQL. If you are on the same journey I'd love to support each other into doing more and better. I live in the UK (GMT time). We could create a WhatsApp group and share challenges to solve separately and discuss them if needed. Also, motivate each other to keep going. Let me know if interested we could even make a group of up to 4 or 5 people.

Hello! Starting in the New Year I would like to get up earlier. I know I am a night person and I'm not looking to become a 5 AM person, but 9 AM would be fantastic for me.

I've tried many things but the only times I've made it work is when I have to check in with someone to say that I'm up!

We'll probably need to check in for a couple months for it to really work for me!

I prefer an encouraging and gently firm style of support. No shame or blame.

I'm not the type who either wants, or gives, instant responses to texts. Same day is fine!

I am a woman if that matters to you, but I don't have a gender preference for who you are.

Also, I have a busy life, so while I'm open to us developing more of a friendship/support system for other things, I'm not specifically looking for that!

Topics I can help with: good habits, nutrition, fitness, anxiety, boundaries, staying off social media, etc.

I'd love to help you out with something if my style sounds right for you!

Please post a comment here and we can take it from there, I don't read my DMs, same reason as others have posted.

Hi! I'm a 32F, EST (Toronto). I have lost my workout motivation and I need someone to kick my ass. I'm trying to stick to my workouts (lifting roughly 3x a week and cardio 2x a week), eat within my daily calories, and not binge eat during the holidays.

I respond well to tough love so I need a buddy who will call me out when I'm slacking. I'm also open to sharing progress pics. I also dont mind having a small group, maybe 4 people.

also if you happen to be in Toronto pls reach out, we can be irl accountability buddies

ETA: Please send some information about you/your goals if you're DMing me!

I've been learning to play the banjo on-again-off-again since the start of the year. I'm not particularly fantastic, but I don't need to be a rockstar - I just want to be able to play along in jam sessions and enjoy myself.

What I'm looking for is someone else who's also learning a musical instrument to hold me accountable to playing and practicing some daily, and who I could help hold to daily (or whatever your preferred schedule is) practice with their instrument. This would look like sending little audio or video recordings of us practicing each day. I use discord primarily, but if you prefer a different platform I'd probably be game, so long as it's not texting.

If you're interested shoot me a DM, I don't get notifications for comments on my posts.

Edit: Found someone!

My primary goals are studying and Fitness. I have an exam coming up in six months. My time zone is GMT+5:30. 28M from India. I want someone who is strict with me. I have study every day at any cost.

Hmu.

I just want an accountability partner with whom I can chat.
I don't mind who you are and where are you from.

I just want to stay consistent in some things (Yoga, Exercise and Shipping Apps) and just talk.
It feels very weird to just get spam messages and work messages all the day and being alone with no friends.

How will this work?

• Daily Check-ins: To-Do List once in the morning and once after you are done with your day.

• Along with a reflection note where we will give a brief description of our day, the way we prefer to

• And weekly calls/texting sessions, where we reflect on our week

From my end,

• I am known to be an honest guy
• And of all the Accountability Partners I have had in the past I have always been the consistent one.

If you are into business/entrepreneurship (not wantrepreneurship) and believe in action over words, that's a plus point but not necessary.

p.s. if you listen to Hormozi, Goggins, or Naval - we'll be good friends.

TIA.

Hi, I'm looking for people who I can play chess with online, and maybe solve tactics and do some lessons together. It gets really lonely to do this alone so I thought it'd be great to ask around here. Ask me if you want any more info

Hey! I'm 28M looking for someone to share daily goals with. My main focus right now is fixing my sleep schedule - I have ADHD and tend to get caught in the late-night scrolling trap unless I have someone keeping me accountable. Once I get that sorted, I'd love to work on other goals like morning routines and fitness.

I've been part of accountability groups before and really enjoy helping others stay on track too. Whatever you're working towards, I'm happy to support!

Let me know what you're trying to achieve and let's help each other succeed! 💪

I, 29F, kind of lost all my fitness when recovering from grave illness the past 4 years. I made sure to get all the equipment I need at home because I still am on immunosuppressants and cannot go to the gym.

Problem is I work like crazy! I was up until 6am on a Saturday morning to deliver something. I don’t know, I just am that person.

I really want a female accountability partner to work towards this goal of mine. I am someone who is easily persuaded into doing something through good influence.

I just want to make sure I have some dedicated time and someone checking in on me to see if I hit my target calorie deficit through exercise and check out my food journal too!

I also shop left, right and center! Books, clothes, shoes, things to cook with, software, you name it and I probably buy it. I NEED TO STOP THIS before it ruins me. I need someone to help me not make impulse purchases.

I am happy to do the same thing in return for my accountability partner! It would be so nice to be on a journey together.

My DMs are closed, I almost always had creepy men hitting me up and as an autistic person it is so so so agonizing. If you’re looking to have one too, leave a comment below and we can discuss and get in touch!

Edit - Opened my DMs for now, reach out if you think this is for you! We can also make a group of women and work with it.

I work in industrial automation and am trying to expand my knowledge to look for new opportunities, so I am also preparing for job interviews.

I also go to the gym a lot, but due to the above goal, plus the time I spend at work, I haven't been going as much recently.

I would love an accountability partner to do check ins, ask each other what we have learned, if we're going to the gym today, maybe send progress pics. I will try me best to hold you accountable to be the best person you can be, and im looking for someone who will return the favor :)

Looking for a daily Study buddy where I can head four hours of study daily, either through video calls or discord. Let me know about your goals expectations and hit me up.

Hey you all I’m a 21F who needs extra support on my manifesting journey. I’ve been meaning to manifest to attend my art school on a full ride scholarship and I have been finding myself rather worried and frustrated about my manifestation coming true. I’m looking for someone who has had significant success on manifesting impossible things, who has experience and some knowledge on the subject, someone who could help me be consistent on visualizing my manifestation. I also would require this coach to want to help me with the generosity and compassion of their heart, with no money involved in this.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for someone to be my long-term study friend! I love learning, so I'll always be studying something.

I just want us to motivate each other, check up on each other, send memes or gifs. We can sometimes talk about the topics we study and teach each other a few new things!

Tell me what you're studying and what your methods of studying are and let's talk!

Hi, I'm looking for someone to study with on video/voice call, over gmeet, discord or some other platform. We can share our daily goals too and encourage each other. Most importantly, I need someone who is willing to work hard and be consistent.

Need accountability partner(s) for

1. Building healthy habits.
2. Increase my working time.
3. Body Doubling (if applicable)

I've had great experience with accountability partners and motivation buddies in the past. Would love to try again.

BTW- 26 M work from home self employed guy.

Let's make 2025 the best year of our lives. (Sounds too optimistic lol)

Comment or DM please.

Hi, I’m looking for a social accountability buddy. Due to social anxiety, I find myself not getting involved in social activities as much as I want to and as a result I don’t have many friends. Quite often I will plan to go somewhere, then on the day just cancel or if I do manage to go, I struggle to be consistent. Anyone else relate?

If so, I think it would be great to become social accountability buddies. We could hold each other accountable to ensure we are meeting our social needs, which is a basic part of being a human. I’m thinking, we could share our social plans with each other every week, sharing any anxieties we may have and could encourage each other to get to events/meet friends. We could then check in with each other afterwards to see how things went. I’m open to different ideas too…

I find sometimes having someone else who relates and is on the same journey as you helps so much. We could help each other and start living life outside our comfort zones.

I’m a 31M from UK. Open to male or female buddies. If you’re interested & serious, then please do DM me with your ASL & a bit about yourself, so we could get started!

If this post is still up, then I'm still looking, so please do reach out :)

I'm looking to connect with another woman in my age bracket. I'm very into my faith as well, if you're also a Christian that might be appealing to find a Christian buddy. If you're not, I won't push it on you or anything (I respect other people's free will to choose their faith). I'd like someone to check in with goals, what you/me are working on, mutual encouragement! Feel free to message me and tell me about your health journey, your goals, the habits you're working on! (Women only please.)

I have really horrible ADHD and usually do well when I’m held accountable, I’ve been trying to fix my sleep schedule and implement a daily routine but keep messing up each time, Hopefully we can mutually help each-other out? hmu if you’re down for it ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱

Ideally another girl would be best.

I am thinking of switching jobs. So need to restart the leetcode grind. I am looking for someone who is actively participating in leetcode contests. We can keep each other accountable and discuss the problems after each contest.
