@WhizQueen You girls are ungrateful to Canada. You escaped from Nigeria and you are now running your mouth anyhow. Nigeria is hell on earth period. Think well before you make a video next time.
I am a Canadian citizen and recently retired. I cannot afford to live in Canada on my pension. I moved to Mexico where I can live on $1,100 CDN a month and that includes private medical insurance and I am a 15 minute walk to a tropical beach.
Don't you have to live in Canada for more than 6 months to be entitled to receive your pension payment? I heard, that if you are out of the country for more than 6 months, they stop to pay you.
I left Canada several years ago...too cold, depression, racism high cost of living etc. Im very happy in the country of my birth great weather natural foods etc. I feel balanced here. I still keep my Canadian citizenship and visits sometimes, going back to live in Canada hmmmm not sure maybe. Its a beautiful country clean and welcoming but for now Jamaica is my home🤗🇯🇲🇨🇦
Why shouldn’t they have it?? If you worked hard enough, you’ve laboured for it, paid your taxes, so you deserve to have the Canadian passport. Whether or not you decide to leave that’s up to you.
I am a retired (old) white guy and physician, born and raised in Canada by postwar European immigrants. You two ladies are 100% right in all that you say! I have been saying the same thing for years but nobody listens to me. Thanks for your work. Don't stop!
Canada helped you out on Afghan translator? Here in the USA I grew up with my parents paying a 1.8 MILLION for a one month stay at a hospital visit in1986...think before all the inflation since the 2008 housing crisis...those dollars. You sound like a spoiled brat from my perspective. Don't get me wrong. I want to live in a PERFECT WORLD to. Mind blown by how great you actually have it, and yet....just wow.
I moved to Canada 3 years ago and I can tell you life here is much better financially than London, England where I moved from. Building wealth isn’t hard in Canada unless you live in a city like Toronto. I sold my 1 bed Condo in Toronto for $700k and bought a massive 4 bed, 3 bathroom detached house for 500k in Edmonton. Yes it’s colder here but the wages are much higher and the tax is much much lower. Cost of living in general is much cheaper… Gas as of today is 1.11 per litre at my local Costco! My advice to anyone living in Toronto is, move out as soon as you can and also avoid Vancouver because it’s no different!
Thanks for sharing... You can say similar things about all western countries. We Africans cannot keep running away from Africa and expect someone else to develop our countries or fix the issues. We must come together and tackle these issues ourselves rather than running to "greener pastures". The grass is greener where we water it. Why do we expect Africa to develop when we spend all our strength working to develop and sustain western economies? Let's get together and develop our great continent.
Stick together, sink together. The history of Africans has always been one of migration. We are Nomads & Semi-nomads by DNA. Remittances to Sub-Saharan Africa by migrants abroad was estimated at 45 billion dollars in 2021 despite COVID. A friend of mine here in Germany literally educated her whole village.
Due to the environment in Africa and the fragile economies it takes a lot of leadership forced and appreciated to pull it off. If Europeans don't wreck it, the Chinese surely will. It will take many successful Africans to leave and go back to Africa for that to change. Good luck in getting immigrants to return after they find greener pastures.
@@8dholland Agree, but as Africans we have no real home other than our continent. We are treated as second class citizens everywhere else, even though their economies are built on black bodies, resources and sweat. So we must regroup, fight and create a power base in Africa. We have not tried hard enough because the level of consciousness is not there yet in our community and we allow ourselves to be distracted by the western propaganda and the crumbs they throw at us instead of aiming for the bigger prize: The control of our own resources. The harsh environment in Africa that you describe here is all by design due to the rotten neocolonial system the West have shackled the continent with. Bad leadership, corruption and the manufactured poverty in the midst of abundance are all rooted in this neocolonial system. Yep, the same West that is seemingly a place of solace for many of us, is actually the source of the hardship on the continent. Their prosperity is directly linked to the misery of Africans. We also now have to contend with China, etc. We must fight for total mental and economic liberation and stop being cowards. Also, we must keep our eyes on the prize rather than being distracted by the "little comfort" we get from them. Just like the Afghans and Ukrainians (not that I support NATO’s agenda here) are fighting for their homeland, we must also regroup and fight for our continent... Yep, take on the West and the East but start with the West first as they are the biggest threat (and have always been). We can do so if we unite around a common afro-centric ideology. Just by trading with each other more rather than with the West or the East, we will win. We need to start operating as though those colonial borders do not exist. Not everyone can return home but even those who can't, can help by investing on the continent, promoting and visiting Africa, buying made in Africa products and sponsoring projects, etc.
I agree with most of your points, but as a person who immigrated to Canada 23 years ago, I am still happy that i did it, grateful for the opportunities that Canada offered to me, even though i had to work hard for everything. Few points i want to make for those who consider immigrating: 1. Uprooting yourself from your country, and starting from the bottom in a foreign country is difficult, and not for everyone. Sometimes, when immigrants go back to visit their home countries, they try to present themselves as successful, and tend to exaggerate the positives. Having realistic expectations is crucial, do a thorough research beforehand, prepare yourself, and you will have better chances to succeed. 2. I also lived in US for almost 2 years: US is better if you want to do business, or if you are highly specialized (IT, healthcare, etc.), but i wouldn't raise children there, even more so if i were a visible minority. 3. If you are on top of your career at home, think twice before immigrating, unless you find a suitable position before arrival. If you are in a priviledged position, you have connections, doors are opened easily for you, you might find it difficult to adjust without these things. Many people leave their country because of corruption, they will find that they have more opportunities in Canada. 4. There are some significant differences between provinces in Canada: Quebec offers low university tuition, Alberta offers the best ratio between average income and average housing costs. (You can buy a new house in Edmonton with about 300k) 5. Canada might not be for those who want to become milionaires in few years, or for those who want a night life like Las Vegas or Ibiza... but if you are a young couple, motivated and hardworking, who want to raise children in a decent environment, to be able to send them to school without fear, Canada might be a good place.
I'm Canadian born and raised. I left Canada when I was 28 and found a better life in a developing country. Canadians think their country is wonderful because few know anything better. As you expressed, there is more to life then working to pay taxes. Quality of life is more important.
40 years ago it was great.Then a RED Communist woke ,crazy far left agenda started in University and now schools.With a generation of crazies now that are teachers and in big corp and gouvernement.40 years ago you were free to do everything you wanted as long as it was of good conscience.Now it is everyone else conscience running you even legally.
Same here. I left Canada 25 years ago to go live in a developing country. So much better life here in the sunshine with wonderful people and without the western taxes and work to the death mindset.
Born and raised in Canada for 64 years, working middle class all my life has shown me that in the last 2 decades the middle class here keep moving towards poverty because of the increased cost of living and taxes. I will likely have to leave my own country when I retire soon and am resentful that all my years of hard work leads to that. Its a choice between living on the streets or moving away. Our government has catered to the wealthy and given false rhetoric about making sure the middle class working Canadians have a decent life. At $2800 for a 1 bedroom apartment, $2 a litre for gas, high car insurance rates, lower wages than other major cities. My tax dollars pay for public parks that now charge to park in them so only the rich can afford to go. That’s just one example of the poor and middle class getting screwed over.
I wish young intelligent afrikans like you ladies would promote moving to Afrika and help build our Continent. I live in Canada currently, I moved from Toronto to Edmonton (pay less taxes then Ontario). However I'm selling everything and moving to the Motherland with my family and start a business in Agricultural. I'm done with the Cold and giving my taxes. Canada is not a bad place but Mama Afrika is calling... Beautiful weather, healthy food, and rich culture and so much more!!! This is me saying after being in Canada since I was 8yrs old now I'm 40yrs old.
Africa is sweet with our rich culture and traditions. The govt just need to improve in all areas. Agriculture is the best to invest in Africa. Welcome to ur motherland.
Sadly, moving back home has become a dangerous venture in some countries like Nigeria with increasing insecurity. Returnees are often targets of kidnapping for ransom. I pray you never experience such though.
That's right quite racism and supporting azov nazi ukrainians be Russian be manly be smart not dumb change your racist attitudes or karma will very soon
Yes it does, it's nice going back home, especially after retirement. After working hard years abroad n save some cash, It's easier to buy land, build a house in my country than owning my own property Canada.
I have lived in Canada most of my life , and a few years in the US . Have to say I agree with everything these beautiful and smart Nigerian women are saying . Crazy expensive , horrible weather , high taxes etc . And fake politeness drives me crazy ! Thanks WhizQueen and Tinuola for a different perspective its refreshing to hear .
@@WhizQueen they ain't got SOUL !!! They empty subjects that's why they can enslave an entire people and maintain then oppressed for EVER !! They've showed and proved it now it's time we leave them massively for the other poles that they try to intimidate Africa 1st
I've only been in America for a week and I can say that people here are so much more open, honest, candid and willing to listen, and overall, much "nicer". They actually take in your words and understand what you mean. Sure sometimes people can be rude and other times complimenting but that's what actual human beings should behave like! Having been confined in Canada for the past 3 years I didn't even realize this was possible anymore. There is actually genuine humanity in America!! Looking back, talking to Canadians and dealing with Canadian bureaucracy especially was literally like talking to robots or zombies. I can't believe I let myself be subjected to this cruel experiment for so long.
I was born in the Uk and moved to Canada as a child in 1967. By 1992 I saw the writing on the wall and moved my family back to England. Now at 68 I see the writing on the wall again and we are moving to Portugal. You have to stay open and flexible in life as your life and countries change over time. Our kids and grandkids are in Denmark and England but hey a return ticket to Porto in Portugal from either is only £75 or $131 Cdn. They can visit every month!
People who never left Canada, don't know what they're missing. I don't hate the country, I hate the people that lead us. Travel people, travel and you'll never regret it
Malawizu Mao, yes, I love to visit Canada but not to stay, it is beautiful and peaceful from what I saw but the cost is very high and way too many taxes.
I am Canadian and proud of it. Left Canada when I was 24 (now in my 50's), never been back, and love it!!!! This does not take anything away from Canada, I simply enjoy living in Europe.
rrickard I hope you don't mind me asking but which European country do you live in? Is the cost of living where you are now more reasonable than Canada?
its interesting, i know a lot of people from Europe, they got all you won't, they move to Canada and I think how stupid you must be go from Swiss Austria Italy or Germany or France go to Canada I am 53 yreas old and 90 % all came back
I was born and raised in Quebec’s and my family and I left 6 months ago. My husband is half Romanian, we moved to Romania and I love it. I hated the cold and the overall vibe in Quebec, it’s quite depressing. I’m happy my daughter can grow up in a place with nice weather, natural food and a better environment. The only thing I miss is my family:(
Montreal is the only city I know with tax rates linked to inflation. My latest post-pandemic visit there was shocking. Food prices are ridiculous. Valerie Plame has been a disaster but people keep voting for her.
I was born here in Canada and in the last 5 years almost every new person I met was new to Canada. Every time I ask them why they came and it's the same answer every time. They got sold a dream of beautiful life in a clean country, but they don't realize it's all a dream and not realistic.
A lot of scam ads flourish the internet about living the dream life in Canada. But here's the reality about life in Canada, it's a jobless nation for the most part. People think the country has jobs because it's close to lousy United States where job is plentiful but finding one as a Black College Graduate is almost impossible because of US racism and oppressive treatment of its Black Citizens. The few jobs that exists goes to White Canadians first and then the rest of the races, with a few exception. Most non White immigrant work the temporary summer factory jobs, like working on a plastic injection moulding machine. Then when summer comes and there's no need for such services, they get laid off until demand for the product shoots up again the following year. Part of the reason the nation is jobless is the bad weather. Most of the companies manufacture seasonal summer items in the summer, which means less jobs in the winter. Even some European countries like Germany has many times more jobs than Canada, but don't expect to get them easily if you're a foreigner, especially if you're Black
Lol, that sounds like the U.S. Nobody can sell “the american dream” propaganda like the U.S. A lot of people come here and realize it’s total BS. But they don’t have money to move back, so they’re end stuck here.
Yeah man. We used to think that the grass is always greener on the other side. Canada is good in some many points, but don't have an identity like Brazil. Anyways, welcome back to our lovely Bostil. Its never late to start a new life.
I'm Canadian, when I sold my home of 20 years and was moving away I wanted to say goodbye to my neighbors, it was the last time we would see each other I had gifts for them, they were home but they wouldn't answer my knocks and open their doors to talk, it was hurtful, I thought they were friendly but it was phoney friendliness.
I just found out that the reasons for those who leave Canada are not mistaken but being turned off! I have not been to Canada ever in my life, but life experienced by my people in the country wouldn't make me think of Canada.
I hope you've now found a place and a home that has a true community, Walter. Canada has a lot of great people, but it also has a lot of fake people, unfortunately. I too will move one day, possibly to Costa Rica....Killing ourselves for million-dollar homes, only to really enjoy our environment from May to October, is baffling. Again, I hope wherever you are, you found the warmth, you seem to give.
Yep... That's the godless, virtue signaling leftists who represent the majority of chinada's population that I've come to know; can't wait to leave this frozen waste.
I am born Canadadian and left Canada with my parents as a small child. My whole life I dreamed about returning to Canada. In 2014 I finally did it and returned to Vancouver, BC, After 8 years and spending $200,000+ on rent I decided to leave. Now I live and vlog from Mexico. Always warm, cheap rent, life is great.
@@Risha-rend Canada is crazy expensive. Mexico is a lot cheaper. We feel safe here in southern Mexico. The north is more dangerous. Also stay away from drugs and politics and you have no worries. If you want to move to Mexico to work and make money forget about it. Wages are very low.
I encourage you to remain in your countries and push to make them better. The so-called advantages that you seek in other countries are the result of the hard work done by the citizens of those countries. Improve your home land for your children and future generations.
And get rid of corrupt leadership. The west needs to freeze the $trillions of looted money and help influence the emergence of the best leadership because it’s in their long term interest. The money displacing many in the west, from the housing market is corrupt cash from foreign sources. The looted & easy cash from foreign countries is driving home prices out of the reach of the middle class. Somehow western democracies still prop up mediocre leadership in African countries to their detriment while citizens are railing against immigration. You can’t eat your cake and have it. We have to help African & other countries get the right leaders in place to restore western societies.
@@loriannrichardson7644, it’s the host countries’ governments encouraging immigrants to come in. My own country, Spain, offers easy citizenship (free college education, free healthcare, etc) to most immigrants. We need to ask ourselves why our governments are doing this, and never blame the immigrants (not saying that you are but plenty of people are).
Very much agree with both point of view! As a student, I lived in BC, and standard of living was hectic, stressful and draining. Made the best choice returning home to Nigeria. Now, am a top rated freelancer and living much better and happier!👊👊
I just moved to BC from Ontario in may and I literally regret it 😭. And now I can't afford to move anytime soon! Wow like God help me . It's so draining
Well said I understand that my Brother whole family migrated to Canada and I observed their lifestyle all debt and I hardly see if they have enough savings sad to say. At any rate would rather stay in village and tend my own vegetable farm with livestock than living a stress life on city. That's my childhood dream to work in US or Canada but when I became professional and started earning travelling most of the time domestic and international routes I realised that I will be on my own rather than slave or employee for the rest of my life. All the best to your channel.
You are right.Agriculture is the way to go.I sometimes think to go overseas to work for my farming equipment.That is the challenge we face but we honestly know the route to take
See these wayo girls. Some girls in Lagos are dying to be in your shoes you are here complaining. If it's cold. Save money n travel to Florida or the Caribbean.
@@TUXMAN06 I don't see it as complaining. They are sharing with those eager to get in their shoes, some important things to consider, before deciding to move to Canada. They did a great job putting this useful information together and I am sure many people will find it helpful!!!
I enjoyed this...I've struggled with the thought of leaving daily..now that my wife and I have a child, the goal will be to earn as much as possible and gain the experience to then return home one day as a well rounded professional (with the option of returning). People buy into the notion that somewhere else is better than home but its not always the case..its all about perspective.
Luv it! I moved to Canada about 5 yrs ago from US cause ignorantly thought it would be no racism, would be cheaper to live cause free healthcare etc etc. I left 4 mos later. Do research folks before moving anywhere!!
@@stevenjoseph8134 It is important to listen to your gut instinct about jobs, relationships and other things of that nature. I joined a company that seemed sketchy to me on day one, I ignored my instincts and ended up regretting it. I ditched the toxic company recently. If it feels wrong, it is wrong. Listen to your instincts about everything.
@@teejaylecapois9741 That is a good point Teejay. I have had jobs where your gut would tell you right away these people are unscrupulous. However Nesia was speaking of Canada as a whole and I find that shortsighted as there are many parts and people behave differently in each. ' Quebec most sophisticated; Toronto people are the rudest around. Maritimers are generally friendlier. etc. etc.
Great video ladies! My parents moved to Toronto thinking it will be a better quality of life however as years have gone by we have realized that we only work and have been separated from family for way too many years. It's a great price to pay. A person doesn't need a lot to be happy.
Very true. I moved to Canada at the age of 20 going on 21 in 1990 and in a few months, I am turning 54. I've been to college twice and I could not get a job in the fields I studied for; instead I am working in a factory and I've worked hard. I'm on medical leave, but I'm now waiting to return to work and my employer has not been making it easy to return. I plan to return to my home country once I retire, because I hate winter weather and when it gets cold, my arthritis flares up and it will get worse as I age. It's very expensive here, car insurance, house insurance, phone bills, grocery bills, property taxes, and federal taxes. You work and work and you get 2 weeks vacation and sometimes, you don't even get to enjoy it. I remember getting sick when I took my holidays. You work long and crappy hours for just enough money to pay expenses and you don't really get to enjoy life. Canada is a beautiful country, but when do you get time to explore and enjoy it? Right now for me, it seems to be when I retire I'll be able to do that, if I can afford it (remember, taxes are high).
When I try to have these types of conversations with my wife (who is originally from Nigeria btw), she always says "but we have reliable power, water, health care, infrastructure, and safety". My wife seems to believe the high taxes are worth it (at least in Calgary). One thing I recommend to most people I speak with considering moving to Canada.... AVOID the greater Toronto area... and avoid Vancouver. In general, Calgary has higher incomes, lower taxes, lower house prices and a much higher standard of living for the $ than Toronto.
@@whirltraveller1350 Is Calgary full of sexy and beautiful women out there. How much does rent cost in Calgary Canada. Are medical labs grossly available In Canada out there.
@@jamesbedukodjograham5508 Rent will vary by location but a two bedroom unit would average about $1,600 per month. There are many medical labs here. We are the third most livable city in the world, tied with Zurich, after Copenhagen and Vienna, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit recently.
Been here for 30 years. All that you talk about is what I lived, exactly. I've thought of going back home over the past couple years, and that was probably just what I needed to hear. Thanks ladies.
Many of the same reasons would also apply to the US. I think getting your citizenship/passport is important so you have the option to return if you decide to leave. I lived in Canada but currently reside in Florida. I don't miss the long winters but I like the summers there. I think the crime rate and health care costs are a big plus in Canada. We have Miami beach but frequent shootings there have kept me away. So it boils down to an individuals choice.🇨🇦
@@mendozadakota3658 I am a Canadian going to work in the USA soon. Only certain "prestigious" and in demand degrees are covered by NAFTA (TN Visa) including doctors, lawyers, nurses, engineers, scientists and a few more

No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more
Most of the western countries are fashioned same way. I have similar difficulty on moving to UK few years ago, but now singing a different song. No one get rich by working 9 to 5, the system is designed to keep majority in the middle class, it depends on how you structure your life, in order to break that cycle. Taxes keep society running, it keeps public institutions working. Life is not easy, you get what you create.
I spent the entire pandemic in a basement and I will NEVER do that to myself again...it was the closest thing to torture ....made this best of it though and im happy i was able to afford a better situation
I did 1 year in a basement and I promise myself I will never do it again,I'd rather leave.Depression in the winter living in a basement is an understatement
I'm born and raised Canadian. Didn't know what I was missing until I travelled. Canadian weather, architecture, culture, and lifestyle are oppressive to the human spirit. Our buildings and cities are boxy and ugly. The cost of living and high taxes are prohibitive and keep us locked into a dismal daily grind. Our "free healthcare" system is so bad, we have to leave the country to circumvent wait times. When you do finally get to see a doctor, they rush you along and if you don't advocate for yourself and push for the help you need, they will drop the ball and let you slip through the cracks. It's true that it can take years to get a family doctor in a new town. The cold keeps us huddled indoors most of the year in these artificial, sterile, institutional buildings. There are few opportunities for spontaneity, art, music, and street life. In other countries, I see people playing backgammon in the streets, having coffee outside their shops, growing up in lively communities full of music and dancing. There is none of that here. And Canadians don't even know what they're missing. Even when we travel, we only have two weeks to experience other places and we're too tired to enjoy it, so we get drunk and beach ourselves at an all inclusive in Mexico for two weeks.
I've been thinking of leaving Canada as well. It's hard to find good jobs here, you'll work yourself to death trying to keep a roof over you head and yo pay your bills, and I can just go on and on. I was born and raised here, yet it no longer feels like home, things are getting worse here. All I keep thinking about is the time I went to visit ghana. I don't know how to describe it but to me they looked free, they had a sense of genuine warmth and community that you dont get here.
I came to Ghana for 4 weeks back in January, 2015. Still here and only returned twice, last time almost 7 years ago, with absolutely no desire to go back. While there are a couple small things I miss there is nothing that would motivate me to leave. The biggest thing, the shoe being on the other foot, is that I miss just blending in. I'm obroni here and hear that word constantly, to the tune of at least 100k times in the last 8 years. I have noticed that the people I know sometimes walk by me now without seeing which is quite fine. The place I stay, while by no means a palace, is so far below what it would be in Canada as to be laughable. Almost a bachelor, with balcony, for about $60 CDN a month. My food bill is about $4 a day, my cell is pay as you go, just like everyone else here, and my data costs about 13 cents for 1 gig. I can walk to the mall, was West Africa's biggest when built, and have an americano for just over $3 when I want to splurge a little. I try to tell people what they would face I they had the chance to go but they, for the most part, believe that I'm just trying to stop them and that I'm being selfish. I wish I could grant them all a 6 month visa with the stipulation that no matter how hard things get they have to stay for the duration.
We only leave Ghana to get money abroad and come back home to open business, build houses and provide something better for our families. Most Ghanaians that traveled to Europe and north America are better off than those who have not traveled. You're enjoying Ghana because you came with capital to establish ur own business so you can can afford anything.
This is so true. A friend of mine who went to nursing school in Nigeria with me traveled to Canada and was demoted to an Lpn, while I only had to take the NCLEX in the US and continued my career as a professional registered nurse. The difference is much 👌
Your friend knew her school of nursing is equivalent to LPN/LVN in Canada before migrating. In the U.S you become a registered nurse with school of nursing but you have a slim to no chance in working for major hospitals except you get your B.S in nursing which can be attainable going to an online school.
As a son of an immigrant from Greece in the 50s I completely agree with you and even tho my father said i was to lucky to be born here - he left to make more money
Most successful people always seek the ideas and experience of financial professionals that help tackle issues on wealth management and growth but claim to attain their success alone. To attain financial growth, you need a high degree of knowledge and experience from a professional to make your goals a reality. Mrs Keleen Marion saw me through my success
I have lived in Toronto most of my life and have noticed a really drastic change in the last 3 years. Crime has gone way up so has homelessness and drug abuse. Rent and house prices are sky high making it impossible to survive for a lot of people. If your starting from nothing it’s a lot harder to make something of yourself without help . Our rights and freedoms are being taken away right in front of our eyes. I plan on working a few more years and hopefully making enough investments that I’ll be able to live somewhere cheaper and hot all year round.
That happends in all countries where they have taken in to many immigrants and cultures that dont want to change. Look at Sweden, that was the safest place in Europe, Nothing is safe there any more. More crimes in the street than in russia...
How can this people be so naive , ….look where the wind blowing ! Most of the western countries are turning inward ! Hence the rise nationalism ……you notice the drastic change ……in immigration (they where overwhelmed by alll kinds of immigration ,from refugee to economic migrant , and they need people to pay taxes! And you showed up ! ….blessing that keep giving to them ! What will you do ? If you are facing demographic threat of dwindling native workforce among the native population ? It sounds like you gone voluntarily consent Morden day slavery …….they where doing the right thing for their country , the racism is just a means to archive their goals ….if we stayed home and build home we will have prosperity at home and we wouldn’t be happiness that can only be found at home in Canada ….. and forget about Canadian passport , it doesn’t fool anyone ! It’s your skin colour and how well inform you are ,that will determine how to treat you ,nt because you went to Canada ….and I’m telling you from Europe 😂
@@RogueSecret yes that is true, but with a negative population growth, it either that or the country becomes unsustainable. Who will pay taxes and provide essential services?
I left for GH a couple months ago from Canada and decided to extend my stay...let's just say I'm a bb learning how to walk but DEFINITELY more happy and blessed than I was back home 🤷🏿♀
"why do I have to pay so many taxes for other to live." That's the most American thing I've heard from non Americans. It's all good until something bad happens to YOU. My daughter was in the ICU for almost 4 months and the cost was almost a million dollars. The minute someone happens to you, you'll be grateful those safety nets are in place. And for the record, long ER wait times are common in the United States too. And then you'll be sent a $2500 bill. Be careful what you wish for.
I came here to say this! If I could pay more in taxes to protect myself and my community, I’d do it happily! And yeah, the ER comment made me shake my head. I wish we could go to the ER for 8 hours and not leave in debt.
I think you're highlighting a huge problem. Canada loses so many people. For a while, I lived in Texas, and the difference in after tax income coupled with the lower cost of living was huge. In Canada, at the time, I could save money for my RRSPs but buying a house was out of the question...it's even worse now. In Texas, on the same income, I could live like a king. I went to a university that was really strong in computer science and engineering. The number of grads that left and never looked back is depressing.
You are right ladies , I’ve been living here for 4 years , the health care system is messed up, you have to wait several months or over a year to get an appointment with a specialist, taxes are very very high , you need to have 2 jobs to be able to pay for expenses , I was in college our teacher told us ( we were like 30 students ( his kids were born and raised and Canada and they moved to England and get a better job $$$ and they left , the teacher at the end told us become citizens and go …… to USA , I have 2 jobs and I’m paying taxes like a crazy , I can’t handle that anymore is affecting my mental health
I moved from the Caribbean and just like you folks I never heard the label "black". it's not a nationality and neither is "white". they're caucasian people which is okay to be as well. anyways great video and conversation. it's healthy for growth and necessary for the ones who don't know their feelings aren’t isolated.
You guys were spot on with this video. I am Canadian born from Caribbean immigrants and all we've done from jump is work multiple jobs. If you live in Toronto you can't just have one job; even lawyers and engineers have side hustles. My uber drivers are usually tech engineers! Most people usually immigrate to the US after getting their visa because the pay is so much more and the cost of living is lower. An example some jobs I'm looking at in Canada pay $50-$60k base demanding 5 yrs experience with 2-3 wks vacation. In the US the same job pays $75-100k base, unlimited vacation, work from home 2-3 yrs experience! I now live here part time and most of my wealthy friends have moved to the US, Costa Rica or Mexico because the cost of living is too high and it's no longer worth it. No life balance, even working remote you're a slave, the cost of living is outrageous
I am a 23 yr old Canadian and I agree with everything you said. I'm trying to figure out how to leave and where I want to go. Something about this country feels so soul crushing, and I grew up poor with limited opportunities and it's so damn hard to get ahead. I want to move to the US but their immigration laws are so strict. I'm considering any other country that I can study in but so many of them don't allow you to work while you study so I feel trapped.
@@hyong-qc3ss I don't have a NAFTA profession, I haven't been able to swing getting a degree yet. But even with a NAFTA job it's not a guarantee you're gonna get a job offer from a US company. If I went that route it would be years down the line or potentially never.
Move to South Africa Its cheaper to get a world-class education from the top 5 universities which are all in the top 10% worldwide and accredited as well, you can work and study. There is a high crime rate so you will have to adjust but it's a cheaper cost of living especially if the family is willing to help out with expenses. You can survive on about 900 USD for everything including rent give or take a few 100 dollars. Not sure of the tuition fees though although you can expect around 2000-5000 USD per year depending on your chosen course. when you're done you can decide to leave or stay if you liked it.
Canadian born and raised here. Everything you said is true. I would add though that there are many private clinics in Canada. It’s just that even when you have the money, the private clinics are not always easy to navigate and it takes some trial and error to figure it out.
Thank you so much for this video. You gave voice to almost every immigrant who came here expecting something else. I spent my entire youth hearing my mother crying at night because despite the #freeedom she was never able to get the same position workwise or have the same social life she had back home. This made my life hell and destroyed whatever was left of our Family. "Go back to where you came from" was the best advice we could have ever gotten growing up in Toronto as Polish immigrants.
I am from Toronto Canada and completely agree with a lot of your thoughts on this. The healthcare, the 9-5 rat race etc. Definitely on point and accurate. Keep up the great work!
Healthcare? Here in the USA, I have to pay $160 just to visit with a doctor. Per X-ray $90-$500. Generic 1970's blood pressure meds $40 a month. Insurance? Only after a year of on-the-job, and it will cost $250 a month for CATASTROPHIC insurance...aka I cover the first $15,000 in medical bills during a year period, and then the insurance will pick up after that IF THEY WANT...Seriously, insurance companies back out on PRE-approved necessary medical procedures ALL THE TIME here.
@@markstewart4501 Exactly. A lot of the complaints people have of Canada are NOTHING compared to what exists in other countries, both developed and underdeveloped.
@@merchandise420 Better insurance? Of course, I need about an extra 1000 a month to get the one I want. I would ask you for help, but I really do want a system more like canada's
Iam an african and i think we believe other countries are better than ours only to discover it is not so when we get there, we should appreciate the free life we live in africa and stop dreaming about a better country we know nothing about. Thanks for shedding light with your video.
Thank you so much, I was just about to leave the Caribbean to come to Canada and I didn't realise how good we have it here and how hard it is in Canada
Just think about it carefully before deciding to stay there; I am from southern Mexico and here is like hell, weather is nice tho, but staying alive is a daily challenge
I was born in this country and I agree with everything these young ladies were saying. I don’t have any roots in any other country but it’s been on my mind often about leaving this country for these very same reasons. In addition, this Trudeau government is just horrible and I don’t recognize Canada anymore.
A lot of immigrants have this misconception of Canada being a buoyant economy just because it's in North America and shares a border with the United States. They probably think the same of Mexico as well. However, the Canadian economy is nowhere close to the size of the US economy. In fact, there're no jobs in Canada while there are tons of job in the US for you as long as you're not Black. Because the US treats Black People worst than any country in the world and your college education as a Black US Citizen doesn't necessarily grant you access to the job for which you're qualified
Canada is bring in alot of immigrants. They will be good for Canada because immigrants has a much better insight in living in other countries and what changes that is needed in Canada.This could lead to a much better wages.Lower housing prices lower taxes.This will have to happen or the immigrants will leave.Canada have to keep there workers.Wr just have to stand together.
Can ypou imagine,we are form Serbia, spent 10 years civil war, NATO bombing, sanctions and after that moved to Canada. The first impresion was: Nothing special. :)
ALL TRUE. I left Canada for the States in 2021. Single RN no dependents here, no chronic disease. There was no sweet spot for me back home. Working extra shift or working according to my FTE has always been a dilemma. Coz the more money you make the more you are being taxed. At some point, it felt like I was just working for my bills and for other peoples’ social benefits/health care. I wasn’t saving up more. I wasn’t building wealth. Definitely the safest and one of the best BUT that’s if you are WILLING to pay the price. Here in the States, I can pay my US and Canada bills at the same time. Can’t do that back home 🇨🇦. Sad but TRUE.
Under which program you go in usa as a RN? Me and my family (my wife is RN 8+years) is also looking to go usa from Toronto. Last 4 years nurses thay didn't get wage increase (thay are caped to 1%) thanks to Ford 🤬. 40,000 nurses are short in Ontario and evry day nurses are leaving, if provincial government continues to same way for weekends will be no working emergency. Don't get sik for weekends 🤬. All of the nurses who left my wife unit thay go to Florida by same program. We want to go to Texas 😁.
@@kuzmanovskinikolce Please come to the U.S. we REALLY need highly-qualified nurses! For example, in the State of Hawaii, they are so short on nurses that they are bringing some in from the Philippines to work and fill thr needs. The average salary for a nurse in America can range from a low of $50,000 per year to $150,000 per year (before taxes) and depending on education and experience.
I live in a small town in Ontario with not many immigrants. I always hear people in the media or politics talking about minority groups and wonder if people from other places feel set apart. I find it a real challenge mentally to not think about it if I see someone who looks different from me…. Like it weighs on my mind, but meanwhile I just want to treat people the same… I think everyone who comes to Canada legally should feel like a part of the country. I’m tired of identity politics that separates more than brings together. It is nice to know that you feel this pressure too… I wish the media/politics would shut up so we can come together while appreciating our differences…. Instead of making people feel like they’re on the outside looking in. Hope that makes sense… I’m sure I’ll hear about it in the comments if I’m off base! 😜 Lindsay in Ontario 🇨🇦
I think if you were surrounded with migrants, like many larger places in Ontario, you would feel differently. I live in Barrie, it is completely different from when I moved here in 2015, few Canadians left here in 2024, mostly East Indians and Blacks from Africa, will be leaving here soon.
My family and I moved to Canada in 2010 under the FSW program, and we don't regret it. I agree with some of the points mentioned by the two ladies but again, it all depends on the person's perspective and experience. As for me, I was able to land a job that conforms to my educational attainment and didn't need more schooling since IT is the same wherever you go. Yes, we pay more taxes but we see where it is going. My son had free education until grade 12 and we have universal healthcare that other countries are trying to imitate. There are of course pros and cons to residing in a country but you always have the choice to leave and find your best nest somewhere.
@@mathewlett9104 yes thankful we're resilient people and are appreciative of what we have. We find Canada a much peaceful place to live compared to where we come from. Again this is based on our experience.
People when arrived to Canada and the United States they waiting that the country help them in all the ways, they don't want to work and belong to the country, they segregue themself, they live betther than their countries and still complaining, they don't want to work or pay taxes, Of course everything is dificul but you have to try, they don't have enough because they always send to their countries so they can eat and survive there. If you came educated you have more posibilitis, you expecting to wing a lot only with the High School. They always complaint about the Mexican living a lot in a apartament, now they must understand why? go to your father countries and I will see how long you going to be there.
This resonated so much with me. My parents immigrated to Toronto from the UAE, I was only 10 or 11 at the time. I am now 26. I can count on my hands the good things about living here and I can write a book about the bad. Because my parents didn't think smart and buy a home back then, they are now near poverty and have no retirement savings. Us three kids are highly educated and earn good money but half is taken away in taxes and we gave up our childhood and hustled daily to get to this point. We never went on vacation since we moved here. We are stuck trying to find homes for rent that cost upwards of $4k per month without utilities. My parents regret coming to Canada everyday. All they got was passive-racism, disgusting weather, and had to give up their education and professions because it wasn't "accredited" here. Can't wait to get out of this hell.
I lived near collingwood north of Toronto and had friends in Toronto whom I visited now and again, I hated the place,the water front is totally ruined and there seemed liked there was not much to see there compared to a European city.I also noticed a massive police force which reminded me of a police state.Ontario is not the greatest of provinces and the people weren't that great,spent a lot of time in small claims collecting money of customers. I got on better with the jamaicans and had one renting a room of me ,his friends were employed at the apple orchards and seemed to be treated badly.
Great content but I had a smile on my face throughout. Have you met the big brother of them all, the UK? These things are the same in most hyped western countries. The thing is, there is a lot of hype about the popular western countries among the migrants from countries prone to emigration. The issue is that migrants don't do enough research before jetting off. They only see the surface benefits from afar and get carried away. It is migrants who need to do their homework before moving.
I was here saying the same something. I live and work in the UK, and trust me....it's way more depressing and way more expensive to sustain yourself there, especially as an immigrant! It's so ridiculous! And the food is disgusting! There are more things to do here in Canada than in the UK trust me. They milk you more in the UK to me than here in Canada. You feel as though you're more in civilization here in Canada then in the UK.
@@asanwa3126 What people fail to understand is that the grass is always greener on the other side...until you get there and realise that its just different shades of green. There are so many benefits to living in Africa. And there are benefits to living in western countries too. If you like jobbing (being an employee), saving for retirement and having a stable government to protect your investment or give you welfare benefits and having free healthcare and generally living a risk-free life, then abroad is for you. There are downsides though - while you have good roads and healthcare, you can hardly save, your mental health is on the line, you probably will have no social life, the genetically modified food, polluted air, chemicalized everything will cut your life span down. You can be an enterpreneur but the taxes alone, the regulation, etc can discourage you. In Africa, there are security concerns but the same security concerns exist in all countries, only they differ in their nature. In Africa, I can grow my food, I can build my house according to my budget (no mortgage), I can start a business any day, i can feed on little money ( you can find markets that sell cheap food produce). And most importantly for me, the health factor - organic food, family and friends to help with your mental health and laugh and cry with you as the occasion demands. And now the icing on the cake - you can make the same dollar you make abroad from your country! So many online platforms to be a freelancer, to work for companies and individuals abroad. So you are making the same money and not drowning in taxes, in high rents, insurance fees and you can afford top-notch healthcare, even better than what you can get abroad. So it's up to you. Stop believing that abroad is better. it's not actually. I swore I wouldn't raise a child in London because of the high rate of knife crimes on the streets and the government' s lax attitude towards it because such crimes involve black kids. I never felt such fear in Africa. To each his own. My African shade of green works well for me. Abeg
Really, tell me a country where a lot of people are millionaires. I suggest going back to Africa where you can make a lot of money and everything is great lol.
I am Canadian and just couldn't stand my homeland after retirement. Africa has proved to be the best decision i have ever made so far in my life. Southwest Kenya is a paradise.
Every country has its pros & cons. We have to survive. For some people, even saving 1 dollar is a bigh deal because in certain countries some people can't even save a single penny.
Been working for 3 years in a third-world country and I don't have a single dollar in my bank account, living just to eat to not die. it's depressing, anyways I'm planning to move to Canada soon.
@@wordswords2094 at least u are able to live & survive with the money u earn, in some countries like in mine, even doing 2-3 jobs do not suffice to meet the ends. 🙄
@@wordswords2094 at least u are able to live & survive with the money u earn, in some countries like in mine, even doing 2-3 jobs do not suffice to meet the ends. 🙄 just imagine how much hard works 2 -3 times more, for instance in my case, my fiancé & I, both of us do 2 jobs, still it is not enough.
A lot of people who have never travelled romantisize abroad a lot. It of course has lots of advantages especially in security. However, if you're looking to build wealth, I'll always say "stay in Nigeria". You'll build wealth easier and faster here. If you have a very good, well paying job in Nigeria, you don't want to risk that starting afresh in another country doing menial jobs for a long time before having a standing except you don't mind starting from the bottom. If you decide to move, let it be for the it's benefits - security, exposure, better health care and also, if you prefer to raise your kids in the abroad. Honestly, if you travel, you'll realise Nigeria is actually sweeter than "the abroad". There's a reason the really rich people prefer to live in Nigeria than abroad. Abroad is for hustlers who want to give their kids a better life and good citizenship.
Even that ‘ better life ‘ is contextual. Your children will be trained in the western world culture which is all about being Woke, liberated and groomed to live alone and neglect extended family life.
Good discussion. Sometimes we have to review our lives and make decisions that we believe will make us happier. Personally I would like to live in two or three countries if I can afford it. Since I can only afford to live in one country, Canada is my 1st choice because it has a little bit of everything, and free doctors and hospitals is comforting as I get older. Most of my family lives nearby.
You both make valid points about Canada. I am 2nd generation Canadian. I do feel like its expensive here and Even I have a hard time landing a job. (Recently got laid off from my career job, they said I didn't have enough experience to work there). My friends who aren't single and live with their partner, have an easier time living here compared to people who are single & living by themselves. Night life is boring here. However, daytime life specially in the summer is better. I feel like Canada is more for an outdoor person. Depending where you live, there are beaches, mountains, trails, & lakes to explore. Some parts of Canada even look tropical! We have hot springs here as well! For the leisure & work life balance, I feel like that depends on the person. I used to work 2 jobs (not because I was bored or needed the money at the time), I just wanted to save more money & help my friend out with his business. I felt like I had good balance of work & leisure. I hanged out with my friends on Friday & Saturdays then I had my 'me' days on Sundays. If you are going to move here, do your research, also I don't think people consider their countries dollar into the equation, what I mean is, if you want to convert your money to Canadian... you might have less money then you have. Example, at this moment, 1 Mexican Peso is 0.066 Canadian dollars, therefor people coming from Mexico might have a hard time afford things in Canada compared to a person who is moving from USA. (1 USA Dollar = 1.31 Canadian Dollar). O btw, I love both you hair!!~
I’m immigrant as well and have been living in Canada for about 3 yrs and I agree with all the things you said. The cost of living is so crazy especially in Vancouver. The weather is gloomy and you only can enjoy life during summer. The inflation has been an issue recently and the rent is ridiculously high. Hopefully it gets better in some levels like rent, work-life balance or cost of living
Yes, and BC (British Columbia) BC stands for BRING CASH! It's so true now! BC is for the wealthy only. It has become unaffordable even to our own who've lived here for many generations. Unless you are wealthy you're going to live poor and struggle for the rest of your life just to keep a place to live never mind buy healthy food. I have never seen such homelessness in my life nor seen so many dependent on Food Banks for their main source of groceries because they simply have no money left from their jobs after paying rent and utilities to buy anything else. Sickening state of affairs.
You didn't know about the weather before you came to Canada? Did you think it is a tropical country? Vancouver is more expensive than most of Canada. You didn't know that before you CHOSE Vancouver as your place to live? There are many other places to live in the world's second biggest country! How about moving to one of them? Inflation is a worldwide problem. There is no country that has escaped the inflation that followed the pandemic, so good luck looking for another country to go to. The "work life balance" has a lot to do with YOUR choices. Maybe you should try another line of work instead of blaming this on Canada. Canada is rated as one of the best countries in the world to live in. Good luck finding one with no inflation, nice weather, and a good "work life balance".
Hello ladies! I'm Brazilian and moved to Canada to pursue a better life and... I cannot agree with you more!!! I thought I was insane for telling my canadian husband about all of the things Canada has to improve (literally everything you mentioned in the video), but found myself supported by someone else's experience and perspective (yours). My country also has it flaws, obviously, but at the end of the day I would leave Canada if I could, I just can't leave my husband behind 🤦♀️ But we will figure it out. Thank you for this enlightening video!
Why not try a long distance relationship? I know someone whose husband is in Trinidad and she lives in Canada. They meet often and have the luxury of long vacations together as they each are self employed. If you're able to, it could solve the problem.
As someone that lived in Asia for ten years before moving to Canada, i feel no descrimination or different here, go to Asia and you will really understand what feeling like you dont belong feels like.
they never knew & thats exactly my thought,we are here in the Arab Emirates and it is damn difficult including the harsh weather 😂it just makes me laugh when people complain about the west.i think people should leave debt alone and live below
Hi ladies. These are exactly the same situation here in the UK. I have been living in London since 1986 and surviving over here especially for those just arriving can be so frustrating. I often wonder why so many of our people are still struggling to come and live in these countries. I know you speak about the USA being better however I have a numbers of family and friends living in America and they are complaining about how hard you have to work in order to make ends meet. The answer to that could be the fact that many immigrants especially from Africa don't feel safe in their own home countries and bad leaders who continually fail to provide any opportunities for their youths and citizens. Thanks for sharing this vital information as many people think these western countries are paradise until they arrive and face the bare realities.
@Tosin Fayanju : That is exactly the point and a crying shame. Unfortunately, if our people don't get a grip and get rid of these greedy and soulless politicians, they will see even their children's children migrating to the western countries to continue this modern slavery. That's the effect of the mass migration in a nutshell.
@@tosinfayanju188 it was when I arrived in America that I knew I was balling big time in naija. I was comfortably on a rent of 1.2m, nice ride, housekeeping and working from home etc. Oya I done come America nah, 1 month I wan run commot, seriously planning my exit 🤦🏾♀️ America is not for the faint hearted abeg o.
Yes. It really is hard in America too. America has the action, yes which is why so many people love coming here and even living here and I can believe that it is easier to make money here. That is IF you are fortunate enough to be able to do that. It feels like America is becoming more and more for the wealthy and everyone else is getting squeezed. I wonder if Canada is like some places in that they purposefully set thing up so that MOST visitors do NOT stay there. Keeping the population small means less crime and more cleanliness. And also money that can be used "better" for the people that are left.
I agree, this video is not at all restricted to Canada. I have been living in the US for 30 years and it is as hard here if not harder. The grass always seem greener on the other side. What these aldies are taliing about is valid for any western first world countries.. Or you might want to fo to third world countries and deal with otheer issues also. it is our civilization. some people are very wealthy in Canada, in the US in the UK or any other country also.. the rest of us are surviving wherever we are. so let's just make the best of where we live and take advantage of whatever good the country we are in has to offer and be grateful for what we have
You two are 100% spot on about Canada. Many people born and raised here are leaving too. Life is unaffordable and quite miserable here. Especially lately.
“Most of the time, these people leave Canada because they can't afford a big change or they are not willing to learn and adapt to the new life. Unfortunately, I have a few friends who decided to leave Canada, and most of them already had a permanent residency”
I'm happy finally the truth is being spoken. I think one more thing is lack of spouses. People are racist and its hard if you're here alone without family.
Well compared to Jamaica the health system is the worst in Jamaica if your dont have money you will certainly die wages are bad, crime is bad but we love Jamaica and we all want to return but there is no protection for returning residents or local residents alike
I've visited different parts of 🇨🇦 over the years & I must say it is clean & beautiful. However, the life of an immigrant is full of extra responsibilities that many Westerners could not begin to fathom. With that said, I will always recommend the US. Haven't been to the UK yet; but from what I have gathered, hustle money is easier to come by in America. Let's face it, some of us have entire villages back home depending on us. It's tough, but it is what it is. Thank U two Beauties for sharing. All the best🥂
If Nigeria had 🇨🇦 work ethic. No one from naija will leave. You are blessed to be in 🇨🇦 just stay true to your blackness. Submit to your husband and be grateful
Thank you for that insight about life in Canada. Actually, I'm ah Ugandan working in Qatar now I'm in my third year. Last week my friend brought up a thought of trying out a job in Canada. It hit me hard that I loved the idea. But the next day, I took a very deep thought about the grass always seeming greener at the other side. I noticed here in Qatar life is not what I had anticipated, why now risk of going to Canada with the same hopes of a better life and pay? I discussed it with my wife back home (Uganda) and told her I would rather stay in Qatar and focus then go back home as my children need me more than they need the money I think I will get. Your video has also come in handy. You have given me all the reasons why I should settle down here in Qatar. Thank you 😊❤️
Love Canada! As a woman of colour, and grandchild of immigrants, this country is amazing. Full of diversity and inclusion, I am so proud to be a part of this mosaic!
I live in the UK which is 6 hours to Ivory Coast. I fell very homesick. We all face the same cost of living and practically impossible to save. I can hardly cope living in Canada which twice the distance of travelling from here to Abidjan. Do not forget the high cost of getting a ticket to travel. I think many people have been trapped and feel disillusioned in Canada, impossible to get out.
You're absolutely right. Many get there and find it difficult to go back home. In the UK,I observed that most black Africans were mostly into care service. A sister once told me that she was just a hospital attendant despite her qualification. So so sad.
@@honesto8457 My candid advice, wait till after the election; unless you're financially buoyant. There is hunger in the Land, the rich also cry. Remain blessed.
Immigrating to Canada to seek greener pasture is abracadabra. The fact is when you made an important decision that fails, you escalate your commitment to that decision. That’s why many can’t go back home, while others seek migration elsewhere. By and large, Canada is a lovely country where you don’t have people killing each other by the minutes. Like you said, it’s a tradeoff and it’s either you go to the US where you are 10 times likely to become homicide victim, but have much better occupational mobility and opportunities or you choose Canada where there’s peace and tranquillity, but low occupational mobility and limited opportunities.
That's also another part of life. In life, one can't get things always as they prefer it to be. Life is a journey. All we wish is for the Almighty God to protect and give us wisdom to always make the right decisions in our lifes. God bless...
As for skilled workers, applies everywhere as you need to relearn laws, policies etc and cannot get into any professional role just like that. As for work-life balance, you get plenty here unless you are working non professional jobs. It is much worse in the US as you work crazy hours professionals or not although, has more fun things to do than Canada. What you can do is take mini vacations during long weekends etc by driving down to the US or a different city here in Canada to break the monotony.
Exactly. I can’t believe what I’m hearing in this video. A lot of the things they’re complaining about happens here in the U.S as well. I was in the emergency room a few times and waited over that damn 8 hrs they’re taking about. And guess what, it wasn’t free. That shit would have cost me at least 10k if I didn’t have insurance. Even in urgent care facilities where things are supposed to move a little faster, you can still end up spending half of your day there. I grew up in New York. Folks are leaving there in droves to even find one of those “boring” states to live in. The only thing I can probably sympathize with is the extreme cold weather. Other than that, almost everything they mentioned happens in most Western countries, especially in North America.. these ladies must have had it really good in their home countries..because!!!! Whew.
totally agree with you. im a 35 year old canadian and i am saving up to move to a different country. you are so right about the no work/life balance. all we do is work here because there is nothing else to do. and when you said it is hard to get rich here because cost of living is so high. people think canada is such a desirable place to live but they do not realize you make "money" here but you do not see much of it because cost of living is so high. basically we live all year for our vacations once a year if you can afford it.
Ladies, thank you for your video . You’re adorable , even while explaining “minuses” and kinda negative things , you’re just glowing with positive energy. It was heart warming listening and seeing you . Thank you !!!!!
I live in Germany and sometimes, I think about moving to Canada simply because German language is difficult to learn but with what you guys said about Canada, I think it would be better to just learn the language and remain in this beautiful country in the middle of Europe.
Believe me, learning German is way easier than learning to live in Canada, it's rapidly becoming the worst country on the planet. Definitely don't come here, you'll regret it every day of your life.
Yes me too I stay in Germany but want to move to Canada because the German language is just too much...but this video is really changing my mind about Canada
I'm a US citizen from Chicago. New transplant in Canada, I find the same points on the other side. Its how you manage your life and time and it highly depends on your lifestyle and if you have a family. But I do agree on the entertainment, there's just more to consume in the US.
My wife emigrated to rural BC (Vancouver Island) from Eugene, OR with her son about 5 years ago. It took a few years for them to adjust, especially her son, but now they both realize the benefits of living in Canada. I am also an immigrant, from the UK 35 years ago, and think moving to Canada was the best thing my parents did for our family.
Am a Nigerian I cannot think of going to live in another country no matter how beautiful and what they have to offer. I have had the privledge of travelling to uk a couple of times but am always glad to be back home.
come and live in the east or north, by the time u face IPOB OR BANDIT issues, u will think twice. those who live in the big cities think all is well for those of us who live in the other smaller cities. i will give anything to leave Nigeria
Something has always held me back from relocating to Canada . I visit every year I cannot stand 5 months of winter Lack of social interaction Passive aggressiveness Extremely expensive Currency has no value. Pounds , dollars and Euro is better Needing “Canadian experience’ for a job I will stay in Ireland jo 😂
Ireland is not better than Canada either, it's just smaller, the competition is relatively low and the Nigeria community there are more inclusive than Canada, na my opinion biko.
You're ladies are right on track with that. I spent my long life in Canada working, working and working and when time came to finally retire I realized that money I'm gonna get from government will make me the richest guy under the bridge. So, I've packed my bags and left Canada to retire on decent level in back home when I came from. As sad as it is, this is the truth you are exposing to everyone here and thank you for that. Don't waste your time there,it takes one moment to realize that you're not young anymore. Life pass by, so fast. So, get out of there and be happy in places you love the most . Take care ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Was born in Canada in the 50’s and grew up in a predominately immigrant area in Montreal. My father came in 1928 and my friend’s parents came just after WWII. They came with NOTHING and didn’t expect anything. There were no English classes offered to new immigrants nor free health care. All of children made a success. The cold winters were fun as we skated, skied, etc… Mind you it was hard for our parents in the beginning as life isn’t always a bed of roses but we grew up in a peaceful country.
This is everywhere. I live in the us and my wife waited 15 hours in the emergency room. On top of that we pay taxes and $500 a month for healthcare and still get healthcare bills in the mail. Add all that up and it's about the same as canada
Taxes in Canada is a lot higher than the US. The cost on living is lot higher than the US and that includes states like California and New York. And their average incomes are not as high as the US.
No it is not. Our big cities are much more expensive than theirs. I'm from New York and I know for a fact that toronto, as expensive as it is , is no where near as expensive as newyork. New York is like 39% more expensive than Toronto. Not even going to mention california
@@keston207 In matter of fact, average rent in Canada is a lot more than in the United States. Even if New York City is more expensive, New York, California and Hawaii are the most expensive states in the United States. They're certainly not average. States in the south are a lot cheaper than in New York, California or Hawaii. Taxes in Canada are much higher than the US. And rent for example, average rent prices in Canada are almost 30 percent higher than in the United States. I also live in the US. I live in the state of Washington. Washington is one of the bordering states to Canada.
You got it all right. It's insane! The System takes you in as Labourers not Workers. When your Health depreciates, you are dumped to wait for your death. The gains are, raised Capital, Get their Passport , get Kids with their Passports. Come home and establish
I live in South Africa 🇿🇦 but I have never been out of this country. Canada 🇨🇦 sounds interesting. I think it would be good if you could do videos on Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Every country has it own pros and cons. Come to Ireland where you pay high taxes and you still don’t have free medical care if you earn over a certain amount of money and jobs are fewer, cost of living is higher. However a great place to raise children in my opinion and the weather is bearable.
I left Canada years ago and haven't looked back - the taxation is over the top! Not to mention the simple joy of going out to eat/drink, then you need to add taxes (3 of them!) + tip! The heathcare system is also a bit of a false economy - long wait times for doctors, emerg etc. The weather during the winteris challenging. Not even mentioning Trudeau.. nice to see the reality being shown. Well done.
Wo, everybody has to choose what they’re comfortable with. Stay in Nigeria and stay with Buhari and all the dangers that come from living in Nigeria. Live in Canada and cope with the high taxes, weather, etc. Choose one. Me I don choose Canada.
Good luck to you. I choose Nigeria (warts and all). After living in Canada for 7 years between 2001 - 2008, I realised that Canada wasn't for me and that my heart was in Nigeria. So I moved back. Of course, I achieved all the goals I set for myself before leaving. A second passport and giving my children a better start in life than I had. So, for me it's a win-win. I have the best of both worlds so to say.

I moved to Canada 3 years ago and I can tell you life here is much better financially than London, England where I moved from. Building wealth isn’t hard in Canada unless you live in a city like Toronto. I sold my 1 bed Condo in Toronto for $700k and bought a massive 4 bed, 3 bathroom detached house for 500k in Edmonton. Yes it’s colder here but the wages are much higher and the tax is much much lower. Cost of living in general is much cheaper… Gas as of today is 1.11 per litre at my local Costco!
My advice to anyone living in Toronto is, move out as soon as you can and also avoid Vancouver because it’s no different!
needed to hear this.. Thanks

@@OkunolaOlatunde It's a big difference from province to province and sometimes cities to small towns.
@@DEEZEBUILO_S I would guess cost of living is lower in Thunder Bay, but it's remote and farther north, so jobs would be less.
Thanks for sharing... You can say similar things about all western countries.
We Africans cannot keep running away from Africa and expect someone else to develop our countries or fix the issues. We must come together and tackle these issues ourselves rather than running to "greener pastures". The grass is greener where we water it.
Why do we expect Africa to develop when we spend all our strength working to develop and sustain western economies? Let's get together and develop our great continent.
Well said!
I wish more people realize this truth.
No one is going to develop our country for us but ourselves!
Stick together, sink together. The history of Africans has always been one of migration. We are Nomads & Semi-nomads by DNA. Remittances to Sub-Saharan Africa by migrants abroad was estimated at 45 billion dollars in 2021 despite COVID. A friend of mine here in Germany literally educated her whole village.
I can really appreciate this comment.
Due to the environment in Africa and the fragile economies it takes a lot of leadership forced and appreciated to pull it off. If Europeans don't wreck it, the Chinese surely will. It will take many successful Africans to leave and go back to Africa for that to change. Good luck in getting immigrants to return after they find greener pastures.
@@8dholland Agree, but as Africans we have no real home other than our continent. We are treated as second class citizens everywhere else, even though their economies are built on black bodies, resources and sweat.
So we must regroup, fight and create a power base in Africa.
We have not tried hard enough because the level of consciousness is not there yet in our community and we allow ourselves to be distracted by the western propaganda and the crumbs they throw at us instead of aiming for the bigger prize: The control of our own resources.
The harsh environment in Africa that you describe here is all by design due to the rotten neocolonial system the West have shackled the continent with.
Bad leadership, corruption and the manufactured poverty in the midst of abundance are all rooted in this neocolonial system. Yep, the same West that is seemingly a place of solace for many of us, is actually the source of the hardship on the continent. Their prosperity is directly linked to the misery of Africans.
We also now have to contend with China, etc.
We must fight for total mental and economic liberation and stop being cowards. Also, we must keep our eyes on the prize rather than being distracted by the "little comfort" we get from them.
Just like the Afghans and Ukrainians (not that I support NATO’s agenda here) are fighting for their homeland, we must also regroup and fight for our continent... Yep, take on the West and the East but start with the West first as they are the biggest threat (and have always been). We can do so if we unite around a common afro-centric ideology. Just by trading with each other more rather than with the West or the East, we will win. We need to start operating as though those colonial borders do not exist.
Not everyone can return home but even those who can't, can help by investing on the continent, promoting and visiting Africa, buying made in Africa products and sponsoring projects, etc.
I agree with most of your points, but as a person who immigrated to Canada 23 years ago, I am still happy that i did it, grateful for the opportunities that Canada offered to me, even though i had to work hard for everything. Few points i want to make for those who consider immigrating:
1. Uprooting yourself from your country, and starting from the bottom in a foreign country is difficult, and not for everyone. Sometimes, when immigrants go back to visit their home countries, they try to present themselves as successful, and tend to exaggerate the positives. Having realistic expectations is crucial, do a thorough research beforehand, prepare yourself, and you will have better chances to succeed.
2. I also lived in US for almost 2 years: US is better if you want to do business, or if you are highly specialized (IT, healthcare, etc.), but i wouldn't raise children there, even more so if i were a visible minority.
3. If you are on top of your career at home, think twice before immigrating, unless you find a suitable position before arrival. If you are in a priviledged position, you have connections, doors are opened easily for you, you might find it difficult to adjust without these things. Many people leave their country because of corruption, they will find that they have more opportunities in Canada.
4. There are some significant differences between provinces in Canada: Quebec offers low university tuition, Alberta offers the best ratio between average income and average housing costs. (You can buy a new house in Edmonton with about 300k)
5. Canada might not be for those who want to become milionaires in few years, or for those who want a night life like Las Vegas or Ibiza... but if you are a young couple, motivated and hardworking, who want to raise children in a decent environment, to be able to send them to school without fear, Canada might be a good place.
Thanks much for sharing the true facts to the point.
You raise some good points. Also, these ladies mention some things that are relative to each country of origin, so not everything is 100% accurate.
Thanks for this explanation.
thank you

Same here. I left Canada 25 years ago to go live in a developing country. So much better life here in the sunshine with wonderful people and without the western taxes and work to the death mindset.
Born and raised in Canada for 64 years, working middle class all my life has shown me that in the last 2 decades the middle class here keep moving towards poverty because of the increased cost of living and taxes. I will likely have to leave my own country when I retire soon and am resentful that all my years of hard work leads to that. Its a choice between living on the streets or moving away. Our government has catered to the wealthy and given false rhetoric about making sure the middle class working Canadians have a decent life. At $2800 for a 1 bedroom apartment, $2 a litre for gas, high car insurance rates, lower wages than other major cities. My tax dollars pay for public parks that now charge to park in them so only the rich can afford to go. That’s just one example of the poor and middle class getting screwed over.
$2 for gas??????? 😢
The high prices keep the slackers out. Maybe you should have saved some money.
I wish young intelligent afrikans like you ladies would promote moving to Afrika and help build our Continent.

I've only been in America for a week and I can say that people here are so much more open, honest, candid and willing to listen, and overall, much "nicer". They actually take in your words and understand what you mean. Sure sometimes people can be rude and other times complimenting but that's what actual human beings should behave like! Having been confined in Canada for the past 3 years I didn't even realize this was possible anymore. There is actually genuine humanity in America!! Looking back, talking to Canadians and dealing with Canadian bureaucracy especially was literally like talking to robots or zombies. I can't believe I let myself be subjected to this cruel experiment for so long.
I was born in the Uk and moved to Canada as a child in 1967. By 1992 I saw the writing on the wall and moved my family back to England.

Our kids and grandkids are in Denmark and England but hey a return ticket to Porto in Portugal from either is only £75 or $131 Cdn. They can visit every month!

Sounds exactly like America
A lot of scam ads flourish the internet about living the dream life in Canada. But here's the reality about life in Canada, it's a jobless nation for the most part. People think the country has jobs because it's close to lousy United States where job is plentiful but finding one as a Black College Graduate is almost impossible because of US racism and oppressive treatment of its Black Citizens.
The few jobs that exists goes to White Canadians first and then the rest of the races, with a few exception. Most non White immigrant work the temporary summer factory jobs, like working on a plastic injection moulding machine. Then when summer comes and there's no need for such services, they get laid off until demand for the product shoots up again the following year.
Part of the reason the nation is jobless is the bad weather. Most of the companies manufacture seasonal summer items in the summer, which means less jobs in the winter. Even some European countries like Germany has many times more jobs than Canada, but don't expect to get them easily if you're a foreigner, especially if you're Black

And get rid of corrupt leadership. The west needs to freeze the $trillions of looted money and help influence the emergence of the best leadership because it’s in their long term interest. The money displacing many in the west, from the housing market is corrupt cash from foreign sources.

Very true. I moved to Canada at the age of 20 going on 21 in 1990 and in a few months, I am turning 54. I've been to college twice and I could not get a job in the fields I studied for; instead I am working in a factory and I've worked hard. I'm on medical leave, but I'm now waiting to return to work and my employer has not been making it easy to return. I plan to return to my home country once I retire, because I hate winter weather and when it gets cold, my arthritis flares up and it will get worse as I age. It's very expensive here, car insurance, house insurance, phone bills, grocery bills, property taxes, and federal taxes. You work and work and you get 2 weeks vacation and sometimes, you don't even get to enjoy it. I remember getting sick when I took my holidays. You work long and crappy hours for just enough money to pay expenses and you don't really get to enjoy life. Canada is a beautiful country, but when do you get time to explore and enjoy it? Right now for me, it seems to be when I retire I'll be able to do that, if I can afford it (remember, taxes are high).
When I try to have these types of conversations with my wife (who is originally from Nigeria btw), she always says "but we have reliable power, water, health care, infrastructure, and safety". My wife seems to believe the high taxes are worth it (at least in Calgary). One thing I recommend to most people I speak with considering moving to Canada.... AVOID the greater Toronto area... and avoid Vancouver. In general, Calgary has higher incomes, lower taxes, lower house prices and a much higher standard of living for the $ than Toronto.
Now people are going to flood Calgary and turn it into Toronto. Please Stop!

Most of the western countries are fashioned same way. I have similar difficulty on moving to UK few years ago, but now singing a different song. No one get rich by working 9 to 5, the system is designed to keep majority in the middle class, it depends on how you structure your life, in order to break that cycle. Taxes keep society running, it keeps public institutions working. Life is not easy, you get what you create.
more like in the permanent working class🤣
Canada is not for lazy people. But some will always find a way.
The winter depression made me run away from basement apartments, irrespective of the affordable rent.
Thank you for this content.
I spent the entire pandemic in a basement and I will NEVER do that to myself again...it was the closest thing to torture ....made this best of it though and im happy i was able to afford a better situation
@@kkj361 I'm glad you came out of it stronger.
I could imagine how hard it would be!
Use a sunlight lamb
I love winter so much although i havent experience it yet
I did 1 year in a basement and I promise myself I will never do it again,I'd rather leave.Depression in the winter living in a basement is an understatement
I'm born and raised Canadian. Didn't know what I was missing until I travelled. Canadian weather, architecture, culture, and lifestyle are oppressive to the human spirit. Our buildings and cities are boxy and ugly. The cost of living and high taxes are prohibitive and keep us locked into a dismal daily grind. Our "free healthcare" system is so bad, we have to leave the country to circumvent wait times. When you do finally get to see a doctor, they rush you along and if you don't advocate for yourself and push for the help you need, they will drop the ball and let you slip through the cracks. It's true that it can take years to get a family doctor in a new town. The cold keeps us huddled indoors most of the year in these artificial, sterile, institutional buildings. There are few opportunities for spontaneity, art, music, and street life. In other countries, I see people playing backgammon in the streets, having coffee outside their shops, growing up in lively communities full of music and dancing. There is none of that here. And Canadians don't even know what they're missing. Even when we travel, we only have two weeks to experience other places and we're too tired to enjoy it, so we get drunk and beach ourselves at an all inclusive in Mexico for two weeks.
I've been thinking of leaving Canada as well. It's hard to find good jobs here, you'll work yourself to death trying to keep a roof over you head and yo pay your bills, and I can just go on and on. I was born and raised here, yet it no longer feels like home, things are getting worse here. All I keep thinking about is the time I went to visit ghana. I don't know how to describe it but to me they looked free, they had a sense of genuine warmth and community that you dont get here.
It is well, plan and come home (Ghana) in future.
I came to Ghana for 4 weeks back in January, 2015. Still here and only returned twice, last time almost 7 years ago, with absolutely no desire to go back. While there are a couple small things I miss there is nothing that would motivate me to leave. The biggest thing, the shoe being on the other foot, is that I miss just blending in. I'm obroni here and hear that word constantly, to the tune of at least 100k times in the last 8 years. I have noticed that the people I know sometimes walk by me now without seeing which is quite fine. The place I stay, while by no means a palace, is so far below what it would be in Canada as to be laughable. Almost a bachelor, with balcony, for about $60 CDN a month. My food bill is about $4 a day, my cell is pay as you go, just like everyone else here, and my data costs about 13 cents for 1 gig. I can walk to the mall, was West Africa's biggest when built, and have an americano for just over $3 when I want to splurge a little. I try to tell people what they would face I they had the chance to go but they, for the most part, believe that I'm just trying to stop them and that I'm being selfish. I wish I could grant them all a 6 month visa with the stipulation that no matter how hard things get they have to stay for the duration.
We only leave Ghana to get money abroad and come back home to open business, build houses and provide something better for our families.
Most Ghanaians that traveled to Europe and north America are better off than those who have not traveled.
You're enjoying Ghana because you came with capital to establish ur own business so you can can afford anything.
Thank you so much ladies for these truths, it's a rare thing. It's an eye opener to those wishing to relocate abroad.
This is so true. A friend of mine who went to nursing school in Nigeria with me traveled to Canada and was demoted to an Lpn, while I only had to take the NCLEX in the US and continued my career as a professional registered nurse. The difference is much 👌
She had no degree , Canada grades school of nursing as lpn.
@@nikkibeebasseybassey8206 Canada is a crap show for certification of immigrants... the process needs alot of attention and overhaul...
The difference especially in income is huge!
Your friend knew her school of nursing is equivalent to LPN/LVN in Canada before migrating. In the U.S you become a registered nurse with school of nursing but you have a slim to no chance in working for major hospitals except you get your B.S in nursing which can be attainable going to an online school.
@@mwanamberi Could you shed more light on this pls?
As a son of an immigrant from Greece in the 50s I completely agree with you and even tho my father said i was to lucky to be born here - he left to make more money
Most successful people always seek the ideas and experience of financial professionals that help tackle issues on wealth management and growth but claim to attain their success alone. To attain financial growth, you need a high degree of knowledge and experience from a professional to make your goals a reality. Mrs Keleen Marion saw me through my success
She knows her way around the crypto world .. she has been helping me increasing my portfolios everyday over a month now.
Wow I'm just shocked you mentioned expert Mrs Marion , thought I'm the only one trading with her
I have lived in Toronto most of my life and have noticed a really drastic change in the last 3 years. Crime has gone way up so has homelessness and drug abuse. Rent and house prices are sky high making it impossible to survive for a lot of people. If your starting from nothing it’s a lot harder to make something of yourself without help . Our rights and freedoms are being taken away right in front of our eyes. I plan on working a few more years and hopefully making enough investments that I’ll be able to live somewhere cheaper and hot all year round.
That happends in all countries where they have taken in to many immigrants and cultures that dont want to change.
Look at Sweden, that was the safest place in Europe, Nothing is safe there any more. More crimes in the street than in russia...
@@RogueSecret I agree, the government has become too soft and scared to offend anyone so they let people pretty much do as they please
How can this people be so naive , ….look where the wind blowing ! Most of the western countries are turning inward ! Hence the rise nationalism ……you notice the drastic change ……in immigration (they where overwhelmed by alll kinds of immigration ,from refugee to economic migrant , and they need people to pay taxes! And you showed up ! ….blessing that keep giving to them ! What will you do ? If you are facing demographic threat of dwindling native workforce among the native population ? It sounds like you gone voluntarily consent Morden day slavery …….they where doing the right thing for their country , the racism is just a means to archive their goals ….if we stayed home and build home we will have prosperity at home and we wouldn’t be happiness that can only be found at home in Canada ….. and forget about Canadian passport , it doesn’t fool anyone ! It’s your skin colour and how well inform you are ,that will determine how to treat you ,nt because you went to Canada ….and I’m telling you from Europe 😂

@@RogueSecret yes that is true, but with a negative population growth, it either that or the country becomes unsustainable. Who will pay taxes and provide essential services?

"why do I have to pay so many taxes for other to live." That's the most American thing I've heard from non Americans. It's all good until something bad happens to YOU. My daughter was in the ICU for almost 4 months and the cost was almost a million dollars. The minute someone happens to you, you'll be grateful those safety nets are in place.
And for the record, long ER wait times are common in the United States too. And then you'll be sent a $2500 bill. Be careful what you wish for.
Thank you so spilling this truth.
I came here to say this! If I could pay more in taxes to protect myself and my community, I’d do it happily! And yeah, the ER comment made me shake my head. I wish we could go to the ER for 8 hours and not leave in debt.
Very true! Free healthcare is priceless
People die everyday in my country because they are unable to pay the hospital bills
I disagree. My hard earned money should not go to taking care of OTHER people, especially those who are rewarded for pushing out poverty babies.
@@djoyvee Then move to Canada!! It's close enough to USA for family visits!
I think you're highlighting a huge problem. Canada loses so many people. For a while, I lived in Texas, and the difference in after tax income coupled with the lower cost of living was huge. In Canada, at the time, I could save money for my RRSPs but buying a house was out of the question...it's even worse now. In Texas, on the same income, I could live like a king.
I went to a university that was really strong in computer science and engineering. The number of grads that left and never looked back is depressing.
You are right ladies , I’ve been living here for 4 years , the health care system is messed up, you have to wait several months or over a year to get an appointment with a specialist, taxes are very very high , you need to have 2 jobs to be able to pay for expenses , I was in college our teacher told us ( we were like 30 students ( his kids were born and raised and Canada and they moved to England and get a better job $$$ and they left , the teacher at the end told us become citizens and go …… to USA , I have 2 jobs and I’m paying taxes like a crazy , I can’t handle that anymore is affecting my mental health
I moved from the Caribbean and just like you folks I never heard the label "black". it's not a nationality and neither is "white". they're caucasian people which is okay to be as well. anyways great video and conversation. it's healthy for growth and necessary for the ones who don't know their feelings aren’t isolated.
👍
You should try Ghana. 👌🏽
@@cadfabengineering8852 it’s between Ghana and Rwanda.
You guys were spot on with this video. I am Canadian born from Caribbean immigrants and all we've done from jump is work multiple jobs. If you live in Toronto you can't just have one job; even lawyers and engineers have side hustles. My uber drivers are usually tech engineers! Most people usually immigrate to the US after getting their visa because the pay is so much more and the cost of living is lower. An example some jobs I'm looking at in Canada pay $50-$60k base demanding 5 yrs experience with 2-3 wks vacation. In the US the same job pays $75-100k base, unlimited vacation, work from home 2-3 yrs experience! I now live here part time and most of my wealthy friends have moved to the US, Costa Rica or Mexico because the cost of living is too high and it's no longer worth it. No life balance, even working remote you're a slave, the cost of living is outrageous
Really!! Not sure which US you are talking about. The only thing they have right is the taxes and professionnals having to start over.
@@marie-chantalepierre2378 Was just coming to say this - no job with “unlimited vacation” in the US. Grass is always greener.

I am a 23 yr old Canadian and I agree with everything you said. I'm trying to figure out how to leave and where I want to go. Something about this country feels so soul crushing, and I grew up poor with limited opportunities and it's so damn hard to get ahead. I want to move to the US but their immigration laws are so strict. I'm considering any other country that I can study in but so many of them don't allow you to work while you study so I feel trapped.
Too many people in the US want to be like Canada or europe with all these damn taxes.
TN Visa bro, then apply for a green card from there.
@@hyong-qc3ss I don't have a NAFTA profession, I haven't been able to swing getting a degree yet. But even with a NAFTA job it's not a guarantee you're gonna get a job offer from a US company. If I went that route it would be years down the line or potentially never.
Move to South Africa Its cheaper to get a world-class education from the top 5 universities which are all in the top 10% worldwide and accredited as well, you can work and study. There is a high crime rate so you will have to adjust but it's a cheaper cost of living especially if the family is willing to help out with expenses. You can survive on about 900 USD for everything including rent give or take a few 100 dollars. Not sure of the tuition fees though although you can expect around 2000-5000 USD per year depending on your chosen course. when you're done you can decide to leave or stay if you liked it.
China is welcome
Canadian born and raised here. Everything you said is true. I would add though that there are many private clinics in Canada. It’s just that even when you have the money, the private clinics are not always easy to navigate and it takes some trial and error to figure it out.
Thank you so much for this video.
You gave voice to almost every immigrant who came here expecting something else.
I spent my entire youth hearing my mother crying at night because despite the #freeedom she was never able to get the same position workwise or have the same social life she had back home. This made my life hell and destroyed whatever was left of our Family. "Go back to where you came from" was the best advice we could have ever gotten growing up in Toronto as Polish immigrants.
Dzein dobry!
I am from Toronto Canada and completely agree with a lot of your thoughts on this. The healthcare, the 9-5 rat race etc. Definitely on point and accurate. Keep up the great work!
Please kindly contact me !!!
Healthcare? Here in the USA, I have to pay $160 just to visit with a doctor. Per X-ray $90-$500. Generic 1970's blood pressure meds $40 a month. Insurance? Only after a year of on-the-job, and it will cost $250 a month for CATASTROPHIC insurance...aka I cover the first $15,000 in medical bills during a year period, and then the insurance will pick up after that IF THEY WANT...Seriously, insurance companies back out on PRE-approved necessary medical procedures ALL THE TIME here.

Thank you so much, I was just about to leave the Caribbean to come to Canada and I didn't realise how good we have it here and how hard it is in Canada
Might work out for you
Just think about it carefully before deciding to stay there; I am from southern Mexico and here is like hell, weather is nice tho, but staying alive is a daily challenge
Even as a Canadian born and raised here I can really relate to these points.
I was born in this country and I agree with everything these young ladies were saying. I don’t have any roots in any other country but it’s been on my mind often about leaving this country for these very same reasons. In addition, this Trudeau government is just horrible and I don’t recognize Canada anymore.
Agreed same here girl
At least I will marry a beautiful girl in Canada and be happy.
Same here sis. This country is changing big time, sigh
If you are black, then your main root is in Africa. I will say run a ancestry DNA. At least you can then plan a visit even as a tourist
Come to ghana will help u integrate. I live between ghana n uk
You girls are 100% correct, it’s sad that a lot of immigrants don’t know the reality of living in Canada before they move here
A lot of immigrants have this misconception of Canada being a buoyant economy just because it's in North America and shares a border with the United States. They probably think the same of Mexico as well. However, the Canadian economy is nowhere close to the size of the US economy. In fact, there're no jobs in Canada while there are tons of job in the US for you as long as you're not Black. Because the US treats Black People worst than any country in the world and your college education as a Black US Citizen doesn't necessarily grant you access to the job for which you're qualified
Allow each person to experience it for themselves. I'm sure they won't go back home even though they talking about all those things.
Canada is bring in alot of immigrants. They will be good for Canada because immigrants has a much better insight in living in other countries and what changes that is needed in Canada.This could lead to a much better wages.Lower housing prices lower taxes.This will have to happen or the immigrants will leave.Canada have to keep there workers.Wr just have to stand together.
@@amossimon3438great point

It isn't greener on the other side. Canada still remains one of the best places to reside in the world 🌎
My dear, you have said it all. What's life without happiness East or West, home is the best.
ALL TRUE. I left Canada for the States in 2021. Single RN no dependents here, no chronic disease. There was no sweet spot for me back home. Working extra shift or working according to my FTE has always been a dilemma. Coz the more money you make the more you are being taxed. At some point, it felt like I was just working for my bills and for other peoples’ social benefits/health care. I wasn’t saving up more. I wasn’t building wealth. Definitely the safest and one of the best BUT that’s if you are WILLING to pay the price. Here in the States, I can pay my US and Canada bills at the same time. Can’t do that back home 🇨🇦. Sad but TRUE.
Glad to have you here in the United States, especially being a nurse. We have a significant nursing shortage here. Thanks for your service.🙂
You are comparing Toronto to a mid size US city? That is not fair.....or am I wrong?
Under which program you go in usa as a RN?
Me and my family (my wife is RN 8+years) is also looking to go usa from Toronto. Last 4 years nurses thay didn't get wage increase (thay are caped to 1%) thanks to Ford 🤬. 40,000 nurses are short in Ontario and evry day nurses are leaving, if provincial government continues to same way for weekends will be no working emergency. Don't get sik for weekends 🤬.
All of the nurses who left my wife unit thay go to Florida by same program. We want to go to Texas 😁.
Canadian residents must work hard and pay taxes to help other refugees.
@@kuzmanovskinikolce Please come to the U.S. we REALLY need highly-qualified nurses! For example, in the State of Hawaii, they are so short on nurses that they are bringing some in from the Philippines to work and fill thr needs. The average salary for a nurse in America can range from a low of $50,000 per year to $150,000 per year (before taxes) and depending on education and experience.
I live in a small town in Ontario with not many immigrants. I always hear people in the media or politics talking about minority groups and wonder if people from other places feel set apart. I find it a real challenge mentally to not think about it if I see someone who looks different from me…. Like it weighs on my mind, but meanwhile I just want to treat people the same… I think everyone who comes to Canada legally should feel like a part of the country. I’m tired of identity politics that separates more than brings together. It is nice to know that you feel this pressure too… I wish the media/politics would shut up so we can come together while appreciating our differences…. Instead of making people feel like they’re on the outside looking in. Hope that makes sense… I’m sure I’ll hear about it in the comments if I’m off base! 😜
Lindsay in Ontario 🇨🇦
God bless you
@Phina Chiamaka find a church or service to get involved in and get some good connections to your community. That will help you not be lonely!!!
I think if you were surrounded with migrants, like many larger places in Ontario, you would feel differently. I live in Barrie, it is completely different from when I moved here in 2015, few Canadians left here in 2024, mostly East Indians and Blacks from Africa, will be leaving here soon.
My family and I moved to Canada in 2010 under the FSW program, and we don't regret it. I agree with some of the points mentioned by the two ladies but again, it all depends on the person's perspective and experience. As for me, I was able to land a job that conforms to my educational attainment and didn't need more schooling since IT is the same wherever you go. Yes, we pay more taxes but we see where it is going. My son had free education until grade 12 and we have universal healthcare that other countries are trying to imitate. There are of course pros and cons to residing in a country but you always have the choice to leave and find your best nest somewhere.
keep telling urself this 🤣

@@JordanWilliams-ix2td Well we"re just happy and greatful we are here in Canada. People have the choice to live somewhere else if they feel otherwise.
@@mathewlett9104 yes thankful we're resilient people and are appreciative of what we have. We find Canada a much peaceful place to live compared to where we come from. Again this is based on our experience.
People when arrived to Canada and the United States they waiting that the country help them in all the ways, they don't want to work and belong to the country, they segregue themself, they live betther than their countries and still complaining, they don't want to work or pay taxes,
Of course everything is dificul but you have to try, they don't have enough because they always send to their countries so they can eat and survive there. If you came educated you have more posibilitis, you expecting to wing a lot only with the High School.
They always complaint about the Mexican living a lot in a apartament, now they must understand why? go to your father countries and I will see how long you going to be there.
This resonated so much with me. My parents immigrated to Toronto from the UAE, I was only 10 or 11 at the time. I am now 26. I can count on my hands the good things about living here and I can write a book about the bad.
Because my parents didn't think smart and buy a home back then, they are now near poverty and have no retirement savings. Us three kids are highly educated and earn good money but half is taken away in taxes and we gave up our childhood and hustled daily to get to this point. We never went on vacation since we moved here. We are stuck trying to find homes for rent that cost upwards of $4k per month without utilities.
My parents regret coming to Canada everyday. All they got was passive-racism, disgusting weather, and had to give up their education and professions because it wasn't "accredited" here.
Can't wait to get out of this hell.
Good. Get out then. We never wanted you here to begin with. It was forced on us to bring in the third world.
Are you brown or black?
Hear hear!
South BC isn't so bad . Prettiest part of Canada .. I've been all over
I lived near collingwood north of Toronto and had friends in Toronto whom I visited now and again, I hated the place,the water front is totally ruined and there seemed liked there was not much to see there compared to a European city.I also noticed a massive police force which reminded me of a police state.Ontario is not the greatest of provinces and the people weren't that great,spent a lot of time in small claims collecting money of customers. I got on better with the jamaicans and had one renting a room of me ,his friends were employed at the apple orchards and seemed to be treated badly.
Great content but I had a smile on my face throughout. Have you met the big brother of them all, the UK? These things are the same in most hyped western countries. The thing is, there is a lot of hype about the popular western countries among the migrants from countries prone to emigration. The issue is that migrants don't do enough research before jetting off. They only see the surface benefits from afar and get carried away. It is migrants who need to do their homework before moving.
I laughed hard. They should try UK. They will be shocked. The West is too hyped up
I was here saying the same something. I live and work in the UK, and trust me....it's way more depressing and way more expensive to sustain yourself there, especially as an immigrant! It's so ridiculous! And the food is disgusting! There are more things to do here in Canada than in the UK trust me. They milk you more in the UK to me than here in Canada. You feel as though you're more in civilization here in Canada then in the UK.
@@asanwa3126 What people fail to understand is that the grass is always greener on the other side...until you get there and realise that its just different shades of green. There are so many benefits to living in Africa. And there are benefits to living in western countries too. If you like jobbing (being an employee), saving for retirement and having a stable government to protect your investment or give you welfare benefits and having free healthcare and generally living a risk-free life, then abroad is for you. There are downsides though - while you have good roads and healthcare, you can hardly save, your mental health is on the line, you probably will have no social life, the genetically modified food, polluted air, chemicalized everything will cut your life span down. You can be an enterpreneur but the taxes alone, the regulation, etc can discourage you.
In Africa, there are security concerns but the same security concerns exist in all countries, only they differ in their nature. In Africa, I can grow my food, I can build my house according to my budget (no mortgage), I can start a business any day, i can feed on little money ( you can find markets that sell cheap food produce). And most importantly for me, the health factor - organic food, family and friends to help with your mental health and laugh and cry with you as the occasion demands.
And now the icing on the cake - you can make the same dollar you make abroad from your country! So many online platforms to be a freelancer, to work for companies and individuals abroad. So you are making the same money and not drowning in taxes, in high rents, insurance fees and you can afford top-notch healthcare, even better than what you can get abroad.
So it's up to you. Stop believing that abroad is better. it's not actually. I swore I wouldn't raise a child in London because of the high rate of knife crimes on the streets and the government' s lax attitude towards it because such crimes involve black kids. I never felt such fear in Africa. To each his own. My African shade of green works well for me. Abeg
Really, tell me a country where a lot of people are millionaires. I suggest going back to Africa where you can make a lot of money and everything is great lol.
@@p-obiamalu you are absolutely correct.
I am Canadian and just couldn't stand my homeland after retirement. Africa has proved to be the best decision i have ever made so far in my life. Southwest Kenya is a paradise.
Every country has its pros & cons. We have to survive. For some people, even saving 1 dollar is a bigh deal because in certain countries some people can't even save a single penny.

A lot of people who have never travelled romantisize abroad a lot. It of course has lots of advantages especially in security. However, if you're looking to build wealth, I'll always say "stay in Nigeria". You'll build wealth easier and faster here. If you have a very good, well paying job in Nigeria, you don't want to risk that starting afresh in another country doing menial jobs for a long time before having a standing except you don't mind starting from the bottom. If you decide to move, let it be for the it's benefits - security, exposure, better health care and also, if you prefer to raise your kids in the abroad. Honestly, if you travel, you'll realise Nigeria is actually sweeter than "the abroad". There's a reason the really rich people prefer to live in Nigeria than abroad. Abroad is for hustlers who want to give their kids a better life and good citizenship.
Even that ‘ better life ‘ is contextual. Your children will be trained in the western world culture which is all about being Woke, liberated and groomed to live alone and neglect extended family life.
You are spot on!!
Good discussion. Sometimes we have to review our lives and make decisions that we believe will make us happier.
Personally I would like to live in two or three countries if I can afford it.
Since I can only afford to live in one country, Canada is my 1st choice because it has a little bit of everything, and free doctors and hospitals is comforting as I get older.
Most of my family lives nearby.
You are 100% correct. Nigeria is the best place to live and build wealth.
all this reason worth it honestly, security,raising kids in a better environment ,free and better health care,in short it worth sacrificing for
You both make valid points about Canada. I am 2nd generation Canadian. I do feel like its expensive here and Even I have a hard time landing a job. (Recently got laid off from my career job, they said I didn't have enough experience to work there). My friends who aren't single and live with their partner, have an easier time living here compared to people who are single & living by themselves.
Night life is boring here. However, daytime life specially in the summer is better. I feel like Canada is more for an outdoor person. Depending where you live, there are beaches, mountains, trails, & lakes to explore. Some parts of Canada even look tropical! We have hot springs here as well!
For the leisure & work life balance, I feel like that depends on the person. I used to work 2 jobs (not because I was bored or needed the money at the time), I just wanted to save more money & help my friend out with his business. I felt like I had good balance of work & leisure. I hanged out with my friends on Friday & Saturdays then I had my 'me' days on Sundays.
If you are going to move here, do your research, also I don't think people consider their countries dollar into the equation, what I mean is, if you want to convert your money to Canadian... you might have less money then you have. Example, at this moment, 1 Mexican Peso is 0.066 Canadian dollars, therefor people coming from Mexico might have a hard time afford things in Canada compared to a person who is moving from USA. (1 USA Dollar = 1.31 Canadian Dollar).
O btw, I love both you hair!!~
Your comment seems to be something that might help people who are planning to migrate to Canada. Thank you
Rinn Griffin I want to come to Mexico can you send me invitation letter?
I’m immigrant as well and have been living in Canada for about 3 yrs and I agree with all the things you said. The cost of living is so crazy especially in Vancouver. The weather is gloomy and you only can enjoy life during summer. The inflation has been an issue recently and the rent is ridiculously high. Hopefully it gets better in some levels like rent, work-life balance or cost of living
Yes, and BC (British Columbia) BC stands for BRING CASH! It's so true now! BC is for the wealthy only. It has become unaffordable even to our own who've lived here for many generations. Unless you are wealthy you're going to live poor and struggle for the rest of your life just to keep a place to live never mind buy healthy food. I have never seen such homelessness in my life nor seen so many dependent on Food Banks for their main source of groceries because they simply have no money left from their jobs after paying rent and utilities to buy anything else. Sickening state of affairs.
I agree one hundred percent
Just pack and go back home! As simple as abc
It won’t get better. This is Canada, costs only go up, NEVER down. The weather sucks too. It won’t change.
You didn't know about the weather before you came to Canada? Did you think it is a tropical country?
Vancouver is more expensive than most of Canada. You didn't know that before you CHOSE Vancouver as your place to live? There are many other places to live in the world's second biggest country! How about moving to one of them?
Inflation is a worldwide problem. There is no country that has escaped the inflation that followed the pandemic, so good luck looking for another country to go to.
The "work life balance" has a lot to do with YOUR choices. Maybe you should try another line of work instead of blaming this on Canada.
Canada is rated as one of the best countries in the world to live in. Good luck finding one with no inflation, nice weather, and a good "work life balance".
Hello ladies! I'm Brazilian and moved to Canada to pursue a better life and... I cannot agree with you more!!! I thought I was insane for telling my canadian husband about all of the things Canada has to improve (literally everything you mentioned in the video), but found myself supported by someone else's experience and perspective (yours). My country also has it flaws, obviously, but at the end of the day I would leave Canada if I could, I just can't leave my husband behind 🤦♀️ But we will figure it out. Thank you for this enlightening video!
Have you tried to immigrate to america?
Go back to Brazil
Why not try a long distance relationship? I know someone whose husband is in Trinidad and she lives in Canada. They meet often and have the luxury of long vacations together as they each are self employed. If you're able to, it could solve the problem.

As someone that lived in Asia for ten years before moving to Canada, i feel no descrimination or different here, go to Asia and you will really understand what feeling like you dont belong feels like.

depends where you go in Asia, you probably went to China or Korea lmao
Hi ladies. These are exactly the same situation here in the UK. I have been living in London since 1986 and surviving over here especially for those just arriving can be so frustrating. I often wonder why so many of our people are still struggling to come and live in these countries. I know you speak about the USA being better however I have a numbers of family and friends living in America and they are complaining about how hard you have to work in order to make ends meet. The answer to that could be the fact that many immigrants especially from Africa don't feel safe in their own home countries and bad leaders who continually fail to provide any opportunities for their youths and citizens. Thanks for sharing this vital information as many people think these western countries are paradise until they arrive and face the bare realities.
Work to meet end needs... But in Nigeria (for example), able men aren't getting job to survive or meeting daily need. And that's sadder.
@Tosin Fayanju : That is exactly the point and a crying shame. Unfortunately, if our people don't get a grip and get rid of these greedy and soulless politicians, they will see even their children's children migrating to the western countries to continue this modern slavery. That's the effect of the mass migration in a nutshell.
@@tosinfayanju188 it was when I arrived in America that I knew I was balling big time in naija.
I was comfortably on a rent of 1.2m, nice ride, housekeeping and working from home etc.
Oya I done come America nah, 1 month I wan run commot, seriously planning my exit 🤦🏾♀️ America is not for the faint hearted abeg o.
Yes. It really is hard in America too. America has the action, yes which is why so many people love coming here and even living here and I can believe that it is easier to make money here. That is IF you are fortunate enough to be able to do that. It feels like America is becoming more and more for the wealthy and everyone else is getting squeezed.
I wonder if Canada is like some places in that they purposefully set thing up so that MOST visitors do NOT stay there. Keeping the population small means less crime and more cleanliness. And also money that can be used "better" for the people that are left.
I agree, this video is not at all restricted to Canada. I have been living in the US for 30 years and it is as hard here if not harder. The grass always seem greener on the other side. What these aldies are taliing about is valid for any western first world countries.. Or you might want to fo to third world countries and deal with otheer issues also. it is our civilization. some people are very wealthy in Canada, in the US in the UK or any other country also.. the rest of us are surviving wherever we are. so let's just make the best of where we live and take advantage of whatever good the country we are in has to offer and be grateful for what we have
You two are 100% spot on about Canada. Many people born and raised here are leaving too. Life is unaffordable and quite miserable here. Especially lately.
They call Canada the place where fun came to die. It is indeed a pretty miserable place.
Why is it so miserable?

“Most of the time, these people leave Canada because they can't afford a big change or they are not willing to learn and adapt to the new life. Unfortunately, I have a few friends who decided to leave Canada, and most of them already had a permanent residency”
They already had pr and still left?
I'm happy finally the truth is being spoken. I think one more thing is lack of spouses. People are racist and its hard if you're here alone without family.
True
That's bad 😞 🙇♀️
The word RACIST makes the white feels more superior; instead use the word STUPID, RETARDED, IDIOT e.t.c

Well compared to Jamaica the health system is the worst in Jamaica if your dont have money you will certainly die wages are bad, crime is bad but we love Jamaica and we all want to return but there is no protection for returning residents or local residents alike
I've visited different parts of 🇨🇦 over the years & I must say it is clean & beautiful. However, the life of an immigrant is full of extra responsibilities that many Westerners could not begin to fathom. With that said, I will always recommend the US. Haven't been to the UK yet; but from what I have gathered, hustle money is easier to come by in America. Let's face it, some of us have entire villages back home depending on us. It's tough, but it is what it is. Thank U two Beauties for sharing. All the best🥂
not only the life of the immigrant
Absolutely TRUE!!!! I've been here for 21 years and now my family are starting the process of leaving for the USA. You both ladies are on point!
You guys are so on point. Excellent work and presentation as well. Keep it up.
Thank you so much the two Nigerian beauties for your comprehensive expose about life in Canada.
It's not only reasons,it's the truth and its good to have this conversation because people need to be fully awear and don't be fooled.
I will visit america I have family and friends there but will never live there
It's worse in america
If Nigeria had 🇨🇦 work ethic. No one from naija will leave. You are blessed to be in 🇨🇦 just stay true to your blackness. Submit to your husband and be grateful
Thank you for that insight about life in Canada.
Actually, I'm ah Ugandan working in Qatar now I'm in my third year. Last week my friend brought up a thought of trying out a job in Canada. It hit me hard that I loved the idea. But the next day, I took a very deep thought about the grass always seeming greener at the other side. I noticed here in Qatar life is not what I had anticipated, why now risk of going to Canada with the same hopes of a better life and pay? I discussed it with my wife back home (Uganda) and told her I would rather stay in Qatar and focus then go back home as my children need me more than they need the money I think I will get. Your video has also come in handy. You have given me all the reasons why I should settle down here in Qatar. Thank you 😊❤️
Is it hard to work in Qatar,I need a short work period like 5 years then I go back home.thank you
Love Canada! As a woman of colour, and grandchild of immigrants, this country is amazing. Full of diversity and inclusion, I am so proud to be a part of this mosaic!
I live in the UK which is 6 hours to Ivory Coast. I fell very homesick. We all face the same cost of living and practically impossible to save. I can hardly cope living in Canada which twice the distance of travelling from here to Abidjan. Do not forget the high cost of getting a ticket to travel. I think many people have been trapped and feel disillusioned in Canada, impossible to get out.
I agree, I am hoping I can move back to Nigeria soon. It’s a circle, you make money and pay bills. It seems like there is never enough.
You're absolutely right. Many get there and find it difficult to go back home. In the UK,I observed that most black Africans were mostly into care service. A sister once told me that she was just a hospital attendant despite her qualification. So so sad.
@@honesto8457 My candid advice, wait till after the election; unless you're financially buoyant. There is hunger in the Land, the rich also cry. Remain blessed.
Mon cher, if I had the opportunity I will move to Canada..
@@udithetuokwu8563 thank you.
Immigrating to Canada to seek greener pasture is abracadabra. The fact is when you made an important decision that fails, you escalate your commitment to that decision. That’s why many can’t go back home, while others seek migration elsewhere. By and large, Canada is a lovely country where you don’t have people killing each other by the minutes. Like you said, it’s a tradeoff and it’s either you go to the US where you are 10 times likely to become homicide victim, but have much better occupational mobility and opportunities or you choose Canada where there’s peace and tranquillity, but low occupational mobility and limited opportunities.
That's also another part of life. In life, one can't get things always as they prefer it to be. Life is a journey. All we wish is for the Almighty God to protect and give us wisdom to always make the right decisions in our lifes. God bless...
@@novellprice132 Amen.🙏🏽
This is fantastic!
My life is very important to me so if I am to choose between USA and CANADA I will run to Canada lol😂
@@calebokon9673 Agreed. God bless.
As for skilled workers, applies everywhere as you need to relearn laws, policies etc and cannot get into any professional role just like that. As for work-life balance, you get plenty here unless you are working non professional jobs. It is much worse in the US as you work crazy hours professionals or not although, has more fun things to do than Canada. What you can do is take mini vacations during long weekends etc by driving down to the US or a different city here in Canada to break the monotony.
I agree with you.
Those are silly spoiled girls, daughters of corrupted Nigerian bankers who never knew hard life.
The US isn’t the only other option though.
Exactly. I can’t believe what I’m hearing in this video. A lot of the things they’re complaining about happens here in the U.S as well. I was in the emergency room a few times and waited over that damn 8 hrs they’re taking about. And guess what, it wasn’t free. That shit would have cost me at least 10k if I didn’t have insurance. Even in urgent care facilities where things are supposed to move a little faster, you can still end up spending half of your day there. I grew up in New York. Folks are leaving there in droves to even find one of those “boring” states to live in. The only thing I can probably sympathize with is the extreme cold weather. Other than that, almost everything they mentioned happens in most Western countries, especially in North America.. these ladies must have had it really good in their home countries..because!!!! Whew.
totally agree with you. im a 35 year old canadian and i am saving up to move to a different country. you are so right about the no work/life balance. all we do is work here because there is nothing else to do. and when you said it is hard to get rich here because cost of living is so high. people think canada is such a desirable place to live but they do not realize you make "money" here but you do not see much of it because cost of living is so high. basically we live all year for our vacations once a year if you can afford it.
spot on!
Come to Nairobi
Thanks Pretty young ladies for this educational piece. I will now consider moving somewhere else

Hello
I live in Germany and sometimes, I think about moving to Canada simply because German language is difficult to learn but with what you guys said about Canada, I think it would be better to just learn the language and remain in this beautiful country in the middle of Europe.
🤣🤣
I live in America I’m learning both Spanish and Portuguese i will be happy living in Germany than the USA
Yah stay there😭
Believe me, learning German is way easier than learning to live in Canada, it's rapidly becoming the worst country on the planet. Definitely don't come here, you'll regret it every day of your life.
Yes me too I stay in Germany but want to move to Canada because the German language is just too much...but this video is really changing my mind about Canada
I'm a US citizen from Chicago. New transplant in Canada, I find the same points on the other side. Its how you manage your life and time and it highly depends on your lifestyle and if you have a family. But I do agree on the entertainment, there's just more to consume in the US.
My wife emigrated to rural BC (Vancouver Island) from Eugene, OR with her son about 5 years ago. It took a few years for them to adjust, especially her son, but now they both realize the benefits of living in Canada. I am also an immigrant, from the UK 35 years ago, and think moving to Canada was the best thing my parents did for our family.
Am a Nigerian I cannot think of going to live in another country no matter how beautiful and what they have to offer. I have had the privledge of travelling to uk a couple of times but am always glad to be back home.
come and live in the east or north, by the time u face IPOB OR BANDIT issues, u will think twice. those who live in the big cities think all is well for those of us who live in the other smaller cities. i will give anything to leave Nigeria
For some people, traveling abroad is their last resort to becoming successful in life. It’s literally their only hope

@@Joypopins why not move to the big cities ?
After watching this .....I have changed my mind about going to Canada. That is not the type of lifestyle I want to live.

Something has always held me back from relocating to Canada . I visit every year
I cannot stand 5 months of winter
Lack of social interaction
Passive aggressiveness
Extremely expensive
Currency has no value. Pounds , dollars and Euro is better
Needing “Canadian experience’ for a job
I will stay in Ireland jo 😂
5 months of winter? 7 more like. October to early May
Ireland is not better than Canada either, it's just smaller, the competition is relatively low and the Nigeria community there are more inclusive than Canada, na my opinion biko.
Na 7 months of winter not 5, even the 5 months only 3 is warm

Mtchwwww, I was even listening to hear that you're in Nigeria
You're ladies are right on track with that.
I spent my long life in Canada working, working and working and when time came to finally retire I realized that money I'm gonna get from government will make me the richest guy under the bridge. So, I've packed my bags and left Canada to retire on decent level in back home when I came from. As sad as it is, this is the truth you are exposing to everyone here and thank you for that.
Don't waste your time there,it takes one moment to realize that you're not young anymore. Life pass by, so fast.
So, get out of there and be happy in places you love the most . Take care ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Was born in Canada in the 50’s and grew up in a predominately immigrant area in Montreal. My father came in 1928 and my friend’s parents came just after WWII. They came with NOTHING and didn’t expect anything. There were no English classes offered to new immigrants nor free health care. All of children made a success. The cold winters were fun as we skated, skied, etc… Mind you it was hard for our parents in the beginning as life isn’t always a bed of roses but we grew up in a peaceful country.
its not the same anymore
You guys came out so real. Thanks for these tangible information
This is everywhere. I live in the us and my wife waited 15 hours in the emergency room. On top of that we pay taxes and $500 a month for healthcare and still get healthcare bills in the mail. Add all that up and it's about the same as canada
Taxes in Canada is a lot higher than the US. The cost on living is lot higher than the US and that includes states like California and New York. And their average incomes are not as high as the US.
No it is not. Our big cities are much more expensive than theirs. I'm from New York and I know for a fact that toronto, as expensive as it is , is no where near as expensive as newyork. New York is like 39% more expensive than Toronto. Not even going to mention california
@@keston207 In matter of fact, average rent in Canada is a lot more than in the United States. Even if New York City is more expensive, New York, California and Hawaii are the most expensive states in the United States. They're certainly not average. States in the south are a lot cheaper than in New York, California or Hawaii. Taxes in Canada are much higher than the US. And rent for example, average rent prices in Canada are almost 30 percent higher than in the United States. I also live in the US. I live in the state of Washington. Washington is one of the bordering states to Canada.

I live in South Africa 🇿🇦 but I have never been out of this country. Canada 🇨🇦 sounds interesting. I think it would be good if you could do videos on Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Funny you
Every country has it own pros and cons. Come to Ireland where you pay high taxes and you still don’t have free medical care if you earn over a certain amount of money and jobs are fewer, cost of living is higher. However a great place to raise children in my opinion and the weather is bearable.
Go back to your homeland you don't have to stay there! Everywhere has problems
I left Canada years ago and haven't looked back - the taxation is over the top! Not to mention the simple joy of going out to eat/drink, then you need to add taxes (3 of them!) + tip! The heathcare system is also a bit of a false economy - long wait times for doctors, emerg etc. The weather during the winteris challenging. Not even mentioning Trudeau.. nice to see the reality being shown. Well done.
Wo, everybody has to choose what they’re comfortable with. Stay in Nigeria and stay with Buhari and all the dangers that come from living in Nigeria. Live in Canada and cope with the high taxes, weather, etc.
Choose one. Me I don choose Canada.
Good luck to you. I choose Nigeria (warts and all). After living in Canada for 7 years between 2001 - 2008, I realised that Canada wasn't for me and that my heart was in Nigeria. So I moved back. Of course, I achieved all the goals I set for myself before leaving. A second passport and giving my children a better start in life than I had. So, for me it's a win-win. I have the best of both worlds so to say.
