Canadians are now re-evaluating what matters to them most, according to a new poll.

A new CIBC poll found that 67 percent of Canadians have re-evaluated their priorities since the start of the pandemic.

Many have used the past two years to make significant changes in their lives.

Seventeen percent have changed jobs.

Better pay: 34 per cent
Better benefits (e.g., vacation, health benefits, flexibility, etc.): 25 per cent
Need for a life change: 24 per cent
Need for a change in work environment/culture: 23 per cent
Better work-life balance: 22 per cent

Twelve percent have moved to a new home, and 11 percent got a new pet.

Only 52 percent feel they will achieve their big ambitions though.

Of those who have made big life changes,  62 percent are happy with the decisions they’ve made.

27 per cent say investing
21 per cent say retirement planning
19 per cent say wills or estate planning
14 per cent say help with budgeting/saving
14 per cent say help with paying down debt

Over 1500 Canadians were surveyed online in August of 2022.
