I am asking this question out of curiosity (no hatred towards anyone). How many people are leaving to your own country. I am from India. I am thinking of leaving to my country. I feel I can have a better life there. Here the grind is too much. I just want to understand it is just me who feels like this or is it the general experience everyone is going through. Please share if you know anyone who had left in your known circle.
How many people are leaving Canada?

I don't know, within the skilled cohort I rarely see {developed} -> {developing} migration.
I came here in 2023, bought the house on a real-estate peak, nearly have paid it off and had my Canadian job years before even coming here. I don't see any difference between the cost of living of Mumbai/Banglore vs here in Canada. Canada outperforms India for me on every front.
Since you said "the grind" is too much, I assume you are talking about finances, house chores, etc. To me, if I were to buy a home that I'd LOVE to live in India, I'm looking at spending USD $1MM - and even if I pay that, I'll not sure if the standards would be decent enough to have peace of mind. Here in Canada you can be sure of that (provided you don't buy in desi ghettos/immigrant ghettos/generally unsafe areas). I don't think moving to a developing nation is worth it if you can live a better life here. But if you are struggling, have life issues (aging parents), etc upto you.
The R2I or other "moving back" topics are heavily skewed by experience of people who are trying to convince others that Canada is a bad place to live IMO. Half of their concerns aren't even real at the end of the day e.g. social isolation - things that they failed to overcome/didn't even try and they make it a center piece of their narrative. Take all of that with caution.
