Thank you for watching and if you have more ideas about what Canadian things we should not do as immigrants then comments down below and don’t forget to subscribe.🙏🙏🙏
As a Canadian I hope that every person immigrating to Canada finds room to be themselves and observe any traditions that they want. That is what freedom is; to be able to live your life the way you want as long as you are not hurting anyone else. Canadians are often called "friendly". I think that comes from being respectful of others and their beliefs.
i still love hearing someone from Siberia say something about the Canadian cold winters (how cold it gets here mostly - that is way to funny for us to hear from a Siberian)
@@joeydepalmer4457 I would think Siberians would laugh at us, considering our climate is warmer than theirs. It just snows more in Canada, and that's because it is too cold in Siberia to snow a lot.
As a Canadian, I feel it is sad that you feel you cannot speak your language, express your culture etc. I want everyone to accept everyone for who they are. After all, unless you are native, we are ALL immigrants.
the language thing is not just a Canadian thing. If a Canadian who moved (for an example) to Taiwan, was working at (for an example) a department store, was speaking Canadian to a co worker when working, that is very rude. or 2 Canadians who moved there and riding the bus and speaking Canadian (load enough where others could be bothered even if we where talking in Taiwan) that is also rude. You moved to Taiwan to be Taiwanese (or how ever it is said) not a Canadian. If you want to be a Canadian, there is the door, go back to Canada and stop disrespecting the locals. I personally would be upset if my Taiwan co workers or fellow passengers did not say something or take me out back and give me an attitude adjustment.
She is 100% correct about the language. It's not just a foreign language thing. Bilingual (French and English) have to switch the language they are speaking, to match what their unilingual friend speaks or coworker or else it is rude. She is also 100% correct about culture. Quebec literally passed laws which bans Islamic wardrobe. There is also a segment of the population who a anti-immigrant. We all know which side of the political spectrum they are on but that a conversation for another day.
Thanks for sharing, this is important to know about the Canadian people! Keep on blogging I’ve learned a lot from you! I am one of your new subscriber from Abu Dhabi.
Very enjoyable and informative video touching on many points that are so true...personal space is a big one (especially now with COVID), never ask age, salaries. Yes very true, but I want to also tell you that your English is perfect and I understand everything you say and Canada has become a better place because people like you exist!
You can speak any language you want in a private conversation, just keep your voice down and acknowledge a stranger next to you with a nod. Its different in Quebec you should greet a stranger in French.
So true. Just because you're speaking a foreign language doesn't mean that you aren't making sound. So if in class and everyone is listening to the teacher don't talk.
Thank you! Thank you! I am an American. What you just mentioned should be normal etiquette for everyone! Everyone has an accent! Your accent is lovely and you have class!!!!!
I am Patrick from India, shortly coming to Canada. Thank you for your valuable guidance. It is educative and informative. Please continue with this noble deed. God Bless
Most of these points are not hard and fast rules - except the one about bribery - but they are worth keeping in mind as things to be careful of. As you become more familiar with the culture, you will (probably) develop a better sense of when some of these things are acceptable and when they aren't.
With regards to the cold, most Canadians are more likely to laugh and tell you this is nowhere near "real cold" and regale you with tales of the worst winter days they can remember. We do tend to like to playfully tease newer Canadians about the cold. The reality is that most people adjust within a few winters. It really is a matter of knowing what to expect and having the right clothing. All the homes and cars are built for our weather (remember your winter tires). If you happen to be from Siberia, feel free to flip it around and joke with Canadians about how wonderfully warm our winters are. I've had one fellow do that before and he was hilarious. With regards to religion, please understand that Canadians believe in personal religious freedom but also consider religion to be something very private. It is considered a very inappropriate topic unless you are among your own religious community. Trying to mix religion and politics is considered very toxic here (extremely so in Quebec in particular, because of their history of religion being a source of oppression - public secularism is a very big deal there and fairly important elsewhere in the country). Trying to impose your religious views on others with be met with hostility from Canadians across the vast majority of the political spectrum. Also remember that about 1 in 3 Canadians do not have a religion (nor do they want one) and most believers here are quite moderate in their views. We try to co-exist and part of that is not telling each other what to believe. Politics is a subject that is generally only discussed with like minded friends. It is definitely not something to bring up with coworkers or people you do not know well. As a rule of thumb, religion, politics and money are the three most obvious topics to avoid. Respect people's personal space, as you said. What is a normal amount of personal space varies by country. North Americans tend to like their space (not as much as Nordic Europeans but still quite a bit). As for casual bribery... wow... that one is utterly alien. As a public official, I would be genuinely offended and shocked, stunned really, if anyone ever offered me a bribe. I don't think I've ever even heard of it happening nevermind had it happen to me. I would be reporting any bribery attempt to my superior and filing a police report shortly afterwards. Not only is it a crime, but it also means that the bribing person believes the public official to be deeply corrupt. That is very insulting to the public official's sense of pride and duty. If anyone ever requests a bribe, absolutely report it. Never offer bribes here. Canadian public servants earn reasonable salaries (being neither rich nor poor) and the vast majority of them take pride in their duty to the jurisdiction and people they serve. If you want to ease an interaction with a public servant, simply be polite and respectful. (Laughing) Asking someone's age, especially a woman's, is indeed socially awkward here. Do not ask for someone's date of birth unless you are close to them. No one with any common sense will share their date of birth or any other information that appears on their identification documents with strangers because that makes identity theft easier. It isn't anything personal. It's just information that you don't give to strangers.
1st Siberians DO joke with Canadians regarding cold. it get real funny, -40 Siberians outside in runners, shorts, and t-shirts looking at Canadians wearing runner, jeans, t-shirt and school jackets. everyone gets into a cold tolerance contest (though the real winners are the ones who quite early to run inside for a cup of hot coco and a hot girl). 2nd the space thing, at least when it comes to talking, Canadians like the arms reach space thing, Americans its like (you swear) 3" from your nose thing, Mexicans, no idea but the girls love to get very close and are very touchy. The French on the islands, never been there and have no clue. The Danish, well no Canadian gets close enough except to steal a flag and drop off a bottle of Canadian whiskey or vice versa, Danish never gets close enough except to steal a flag and leave a bottle of Danish whiskey (god help us if the 2 sides get close enough to shack hands, we will have 2 drunk navies)
Thank you so much for this Ma'am... noted on this much ☺️.. we will be travelling soon with my son going to Canada very soon...to reunite with hubby. 🇨🇦❤️
I'm a Filipino, I know all these etiquette but unfortunately a lot of Filipinos would say that you're arrogant or "mayabang" if you ask them politely to do any of these.
why? i have met Filipinos and they where more Canadian than a Canadian. I even met a Filipino who could easily have belonged to the Hells Angels.. Sorry. As a Canadian, I see no issues with what she said or Filipinos. There are other immigrants much much worse and have showed "0" respect towards Canada and Canadians and who have expected Canadians to change to suite them. Filipinos are great though they have an issue with the cold for the first little while
As a U.S. citizen I found parts of this video very helpful. I'm planning on taking a trip to Canada from two months from now, so I found this to be very informative. I've also seen a couple similar tips concerning etiquette of what you should not do in front of Canadians as well. On religion being kept as something private and personal it's something I really, really, really agree with. Here where I live in the U.S. (by my county in California) religion unfortunately is normally talked about out in the open and commercialized. And it's something that tends to divide me from those who try to proselytize to me about "The Bible." I personally have strong antagonistic feelings towards that, since I had a bad past experience being with religious fanatics. I can respect another persons religion, so long if they do not publicly bring it up in regular conversation or commercialize it out in the open. I think that if I lived in a place (like Canada) where religion is seen as private, respected, not brought up or commercialized, then I wouldn't have any hostile feelings whatsoever about it.
Thanks and welcome to Canada don’t forget to visit my beautiful province Alberta 😊(you can visit..Banff gondola ,jasper,moraine lake my favourite lake ,kananaski etc…
Thanks Actually I really got to know so many things about Canada in this video. I have no idea about these rules. Planning to come there as caregiver. So your videos are very useful to me.❤thanks dear.
Hello Sarah. I love watching your videos. Very helpful especially to those people who are planning migrate to Canada. Just one favour if you could make a vlog about cheapest apartment, schools for my kids. Maybe you can recommend these for us. Thank you so much.
I am Md. Shamim Islam a citizen of Bangladesh. I have heard the life stories of many heads of state of the world. I think that all qualified people. Justin Trudeau, the head of Canada. I wish all the citizens of Canada and Justin Trudeau a beautiful life. Thank you.
4:00 As an Atheist I have to disagree. Most Canadians are willing to talk or even argue about religion, culture and politics without holding bad feelings. As long as you respect the other person it's all good. Of course, not everyone is like that, but amongst the people I know it is.
Ever since equality being put at the forefront and COVID, political conversations get heated pretty quick now. As for religion, it depends on the segment of population. The anti-immigrant people definitely get heated when Islam or Southeast Asian religions are mentioned.
Honestly many other nationalities even Filipinos are not ethical at a work place. Filipinos talk on their language in from of other nationalities is of course a a sign disrespect. But this very basic things we learn in school. I am proud of you Kabayan and thank you for educating your subscribers on these very important points. Cos many of the kabayans need to have these refreshing course
You have a point there Kabayan. Why I always have to tell my Foreign Client who suffers from dementia that I will have to speak in my native tongue when I see a fellow Kabayan so she knows what's going on around her since she wouldn't understand what is being talked about.
In 2005 I wrote a (somewhat) famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. I was ahead of my time. The government essentially made me unemployable in the country. So I left and worked in the United States until 2014. I now permanently live in the Philippines. I would never go back to Canada for any reason: not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. In the last ten (10) years Canada has gone completely down the drain and is currently a North Korea style dictatorship. No freedom, too expensive, very high income tax . . . too depressing. I am happy here in Asia, with much friendlier people.
as a french canadian. i mostly agree with that video. but of course it dont apply for every single canadian. but for the majority yes. good video sarah love it
I don't like being stared at either. A glance and a hello. Yes a smile. I have had those kinds of job that people was talking loud on break and I could hear their whole conversation. So I felt I needed to take my break in my car. Alot of it was games they would play loudly and ect. I go to the bathroom or something. I also don't like messing with other people stuff while working if it's not yours don't touch it. If I work with you and you can't speak my English language and have something to say tell someone who speaks English like a respectful shift manager and then they can kindly explain it to me In English. Yet it's rude to give someone a ride look while the manager is telling the person. Kindness and respect. What happens on one side of the building doesn't need to be told to the whole building unless it's work related as well.
OMG, where do you move to! I hope you have better experiences with your everyday interactions with Canadians. The people I know, feel free to come over anytime, we love to hear about you, who you are, where your from...feel free to express things about your culture and am so sorry you have had these, what I would consider, negative interactions - shame on these Canadians! I guess we are still learning too and is obvious we still have a lot of work to do. I truly hope things improve and, from me to you, Welcome to Canada.
nakakatuwa kapo Mam, very interesting and informative lagi, kaso hanggang pangarap nalang talaga ako makarating sa Canada, di ako marunong mag apply ng job jan, ilang try nako, di naman matuloy tuloy 😭😭😭
Your speech really making senses god bless you in many folds, all what you talk about as if you directly talking to me I have all that attitude may god heal me from that. Thank you I will adjust when I come to Canada inshallah
As a third generation Canadian to the woman giving advice here, I have to say I'm a bit surprised. Most of what she's learned of Canada isn't my experience. But maybe she lives in a city? The smaller communities aren't like that. People here are a little standoffish in this cities I have to admit, there are many communities that aren't like that. I just started watching the video I haven't finished it yet, but where I come from if a neighbor knocks in the door I'd open it and greet them I also thank them and accept food. Maybe it really is just a small town versus city thing.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge God 🙏 we continue bless you,am a lucky to be watching your youtube channel especially I like the way you speak English is very easy to understand...
@@sarahbuyucan You deserve it. FIlipinos have been and are a great addition to the Canadian mosaic. I'm sponsoring someone myself to help bring his wife and children.
When canadians are asking these questions its out of curiosity. We ask that yous try to adopt our customs and culture somewhat. But canadian culture has always been a broad category, you might like a busy place or a quiet place. It is generally considered rude to speak your own language in front of us
accents sure aren't a problem here in canada. if you feel a little self conscious about it or want to "sound" more canadian, i'd just recommend expanding your english vocabulary. the accent is no problem since we are a largely diverse multicultural country we hear all sort of accents everyday. i also think it depends on where you live when it comes to talking in your first language around people. here in saskatchewan we have a lot of immigrants so it isn't uncommon to hear a group of people speaking another language, we keep to ourselves, we don't cause scenes over languages, etc. i work at a hospice and there's a four-person group of filipinas that are palliative care nurses, they walk around and speak tagalog all the time, no one bats an eye. (p.s: please let me know if "tagalog" was right - i had filipina friends that said that's the language years ago but i am unsure if it is correct or not, since a lot of you are from the philippines it would be easier to ask real filipino/filipina peoples!) i would say everything is correct but there's definitely a lot of people that aren't as uptight. sharing food and drinks (before covid) is common among young adults and teens, with strangers. but again it probably depends on where you live! it's pretty easy to make friends and get along with people in saskatchewan. ontario and quebec have more uptight people than people in the prairies.
Thank you, Mam Sarah for the info about Canadian. It's really important to know about them, in order for us, Pilipino, to be aware before going to Canada.
OK I like to add this about the Filipinos, some of us Canadians do not think of them as Immigrants but as people from one of Canada's territories. We have normally ignored them just like any other Canadian. They do not stick out any more than anyone else (nationality wise, individuals is a different story).
Sounds too much like a rule book. It’s good to be sensitive to cultural norms but also good to share the richness of each of our cultures. Canadians are very tolerant and amenable to appreciating diversity. Be authentic and respectful
Nice sara and so funny too as u told we will be throw ball when we care for them when they are in swim suit, its true...actually keep poping new informat related to canada sure one day i will reach canada and see u sarah love you...dear so kind,practical and so caring sharing info..
True. Canadians don't even want Indigenous people to speak their own language in public otherwise you end up in their famous "residential schools" and we all know what happened afterwards.
My wife, my 3 kids and I used to like Vancouver but not anymore!!! The weather is why we plan to leave for good but also the expensive rents! I also heard about horror stories at many hospitals (and yes, I have worked in Africa and to be honest, Africans hospitals are way more functional than the ones in Canada in terms of human aspect… there they care, Canadians do not give a shit about anyone!!! And I am saying this as a Belgian!!! I have some African colleagues at work here and at least 80 percent of them either want to go back to Africa (one is actually going to start an Afro business there and build his own house) or move to Europe (one of them plans to live to my homeland Belgium and two others in France as apparent the pensions there are way better than the Canadian one) as soon as they get enough experience in canada! None of us at work , including me, want to retire or get old here in Canada! For me personally, it is the Canadian extreme loneliness and lack of willingness to open to others that really shuts me down… I am fed up and and tired of paying taxes in a country where some (not all) hospitals and some retirement homes treat patients like … objects, not human beings! I now understand (as before I did not) why even some of my African colleagues are looking forward to go back to Africa or to some of them, immigrate to Europe! .. none of us want to be left alone and depressed in this so highly individualistic and unfriendly, falsely “cool” country called Canada!
May God bless you so much for this information am really grateful because it was part of the things I needed to know; just like when I came in UAE newly nobody to pass this kind of information to me , and on Ramada fasting time I was drinking water outside the mail, infarct it wasn't a good one that day
This is fantastic that all this knowledge is in 1 epizod. I do not know nothing about canada, but I wish to go there to live. I also checked many cities and I trying to figure it out, witch one city can be the best for me. Do you have any sugestions? In my country is few rules witch is simular to canada like for example dont offer bribe for Police or any people. Thanks you Sarah for this clip and I going to watch more of your content :)

The problem is in Canada we have "countries within the country" ethnic enclaves which are not diverse. There is no melting pot in Canada.
Exactly what Canadian PR wants you to think
I love so much Canadian People, Love from India ❤️❤️❤️… Wish, one day I will go there
towards others who respect Canadians and how we all became Canadians
Wow.. good.. useful information.. to know the customs and traditions of Canadian society.. thank you very much..🙏🤓🙏
3:30 - Gotta disagree. Most Canadians LOVE it when people from warm climates complain about the cold. I'm not joking. It makes us feel more Canadian.
This is true 😂
That's so funny, pathetic, and - true!
i still love hearing someone from Siberia say something about the Canadian cold winters (how cold it gets here mostly - that is way to funny for us to hear from a Siberian)

It will be very difficult to have different languages in Canada…
@@admon2205 its nice on heritage days but any family that moves here and blends in, they seem to loose the old language.
She is 100% correct about the language. It's not just a foreign language thing. Bilingual (French and English) have to switch the language they are speaking, to match what their unilingual friend speaks or coworker or else it is rude.

Ever since equality being put at the forefront and COVID, political conversations get heated pretty quick now. As for religion, it depends on the segment of population. The anti-immigrant people definitely get heated when Islam or Southeast Asian religions are mentioned.
@@MrBeatboxmasta not like that in northern BC or Alberta
Is it true that Filipinos don’t like each other in Canada? I’ve heard stories that foreign people are better co workers than other Filipinos.
Honestly many other nationalities even Filipinos are not ethical at a work place. Filipinos talk on their language in from of other nationalities is of course a a sign disrespect. But this very basic things we learn in school. I am proud of you Kabayan and thank you for educating your subscribers on these very important points. Cos many of the kabayans need to have these refreshing course
Oo salamat kabayan ingat always
You have a point there Kabayan. Why I always have to tell my Foreign Client who suffers from dementia that I will have to speak in my native tongue when I see a fellow Kabayan so she knows what's going on around her since she wouldn't understand what is being talked about.
I Love How Real You Are... Simple To The Point... Love From Kenya ❤️❤️❤️❤️❣️🌹🌹.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing. I never thought Canadian neighborhood can be this tight.
Welcome 🤗
Amazing
In 2005 I wrote a (somewhat) famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. I was ahead of my time. The government essentially made me unemployable in the country. So I left and worked in the United States until 2014. I now permanently live in the Philippines. I would never go back to Canada for any reason: not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. In the last ten (10) years Canada has gone completely down the drain and is currently a North Korea style dictatorship. No freedom, too expensive, very high income tax . . . too depressing. I am happy here in Asia, with much friendlier people.
good for you
as a french canadian. i mostly agree with that video. but of course it dont apply for every single canadian. but for the majority yes. good video sarah love it
Thank you 😊
I don't like being stared at either. A glance and a hello. Yes a smile. I have had those kinds of job that people was talking loud on break and I could hear their whole conversation. So I felt I needed to take my break in my car. Alot of it was games they would play loudly and ect. I go to the bathroom or something. I also don't like messing with other people stuff while working if it's not yours don't touch it. If I work with you and you can't speak my English language and have something to say tell someone who speaks English like a respectful shift manager and then they can kindly explain it to me In English. Yet it's rude to give someone a ride look while the manager is telling the person. Kindness and respect. What happens on one side of the building doesn't need to be told to the whole building unless it's work related as well.
Thanks mam Sarah .... For the information...
Thank you Ms. Sarah your video is helpful.
Thank you 🙏
Very informative🙂👍👍👍💯
OMG, where do you move to! I hope you have better experiences with your everyday interactions with Canadians. The people I know, feel free to come over anytime, we love to hear about you, who you are, where your from...feel free to express things about your culture and am so sorry you have had these, what I would consider, negative interactions - shame on these Canadians! I guess we are still learning too and is obvious we still have a lot of work to do. I truly hope things improve and, from me to you, Welcome to Canada.
Thank you 😊 I’m ok
Hae Brian.Coming soon
thankyou maam for important info
kailian thanks for the information, iyaman 👌
Salamat 😊
Thank you Ma'am for sharing us this information. It's good to know about Canadian culture and traditions... God bless
nakakatuwa kapo Mam, very interesting and informative lagi, kaso hanggang pangarap nalang talaga ako makarating sa Canada, di ako marunong mag apply ng job jan, ilang try nako, di naman matuloy tuloy 😭😭😭
Never give up your dream
Your speech really making senses god bless you in many folds, all what you talk about as if you directly talking to me I have all that attitude may god heal me from that. Thank you I will adjust when I come to Canada inshallah
Amazing .
I really loved ur video mam...very informative...God bless u more mam..
Thank you
As a third generation Canadian to the woman giving advice here, I have to say I'm a bit surprised. Most of what she's learned of Canada isn't my experience. But maybe she lives in a city? The smaller communities aren't like that. People here are a little standoffish in this cities I have to admit, there are many communities that aren't like that. I just started watching the video I haven't finished it yet, but where I come from if a neighbor knocks in the door I'd open it and greet them I also thank them and accept food. Maybe it really is just a small town versus city thing.
Lovely 🌹
Thank you! 😊
Hi Sarah...thank you for this information.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge God 🙏 we continue bless you,am a lucky to be watching your youtube channel especially I like the way you speak English is very easy to understand...
Thank you my best regards
Please 🙏 ma what about people that want to come to Canada next month I hope nothing like 2000 Canadian dollars due to pademic test???
You sound like a great Canadian Sarah. Thank you for moving here. :)
Thank you kindly 🙏
@@sarahbuyucan You deserve it. FIlipinos have been and are a great addition to the Canadian mosaic. I'm sponsoring someone myself to help bring his wife and children.
@@harrycooper5231 so nice of you,thank you for helping some Filipino family 🙏
When canadians are asking these questions its out of curiosity. We ask that yous try to adopt our customs and culture somewhat. But canadian culture has always been a broad category, you might like a busy place or a quiet place. It is generally considered rude to speak your own language in front of us
thank you so much for your concerns
Welcome 🤗
For real i like you na po... Hihi very informative
Just don’t forget to subscribe 😆😊🙏
Your advice is inspiring...thakk you😊
accents sure aren't a problem here in canada. if you feel a little self conscious about it or want to "sound" more canadian, i'd just recommend expanding your english vocabulary. the accent is no problem since we are a largely diverse multicultural country we hear all sort of accents everyday. i also think it depends on where you live when it comes to talking in your first language around people. here in saskatchewan we have a lot of immigrants so it isn't uncommon to hear a group of people speaking another language, we keep to ourselves, we don't cause scenes over languages, etc. i work at a hospice and there's a four-person group of filipinas that are palliative care nurses, they walk around and speak tagalog all the time, no one bats an eye. (p.s: please let me know if "tagalog" was right - i had filipina friends that said that's the language years ago but i am unsure if it is correct or not, since a lot of you are from the philippines it would be easier to ask real filipino/filipina peoples!)
i would say everything is correct but there's definitely a lot of people that aren't as uptight. sharing food and drinks (before covid) is common among young adults and teens, with strangers. but again it probably depends on where you live! it's pretty easy to make friends and get along with people in saskatchewan. ontario and quebec have more uptight people than people in the prairies.
It depends on where you live in Quebec .
Thanks for sharing maam
Thank you, Mam Sarah for the info about Canadian. It's really important to know about them, in order for us, Pilipino, to be aware before going to Canada.
Welcome click link th-cam.com/video/tDWPHeOmT0o/w-d-xo.html
OK I like to add this about the Filipinos, some of us Canadians do not think of them as Immigrants but as people from one of Canada's territories. We have normally ignored them just like any other Canadian. They do not stick out any more than anyone else (nationality wise, individuals is a different story).
Thank you very much 🙏
You're most welcome
i feel tlk with you directly mam....thank for this information🥰
Very much valuable information . thanks mam.great u done for us 🙏
Welcome 🙏
We need more people from the Philippines in Canada. I have a friend who works at CBSA and he says Filipinos are the nicest people he deals with.
Yes of all the Asian country Filipinos are the most friendliest.
Hello can I come?😁

Glad it was helpful!
I'm so thankful for sharing this information with us🇨🇦❤🇨🇦🤟
Thank you for the video
Welcome 🙏
Sounds too much like a rule book. It’s good to be sensitive to cultural norms but also good to share the richness of each of our cultures. Canadians are very tolerant and amenable to appreciating diversity. Be authentic and respectful
Good and fantastic explanation about , how to behave in canada
how much they pay for nanny per hour
In Alberta start from $15 to 25/hr

Some of these are because you live in Alberta, Alberta is the most conservative Canadian province 😊

Thank you for sharing info with us about in canada
Thank you for your important information that you shared with us 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯
True. Canadians don't even want Indigenous people to speak their own language in public otherwise you end up in their famous "residential schools" and we all know what happened afterwards.
My wife, my 3 kids and I used to like Vancouver but not anymore!!! The weather is why we plan to leave for good but also the expensive rents! I also heard about horror stories at many hospitals (and yes, I have worked in Africa and to be honest, Africans hospitals are way more functional than the ones in Canada in terms of human aspect… there they care, Canadians do not give a shit about anyone!!! And I am saying this as a Belgian!!! I have some African colleagues at work here and at least 80 percent of them either want to go back to Africa (one is actually going to start an Afro business there and build his own house) or move to Europe (one of them plans to live to my homeland Belgium and two others in France as apparent the pensions there are way better than the Canadian one) as soon as they get enough experience in canada! None of us at work , including me, want to retire or get old here in Canada! For me personally, it is the Canadian extreme loneliness and lack of willingness to open to others that really shuts me down… I am fed up and and tired of paying taxes in a country where some (not all) hospitals and some retirement homes treat patients like … objects, not human beings! I now understand (as before I did not) why even some of my African colleagues are looking forward to go back to Africa or to some of them, immigrate to Europe! .. none of us want to be left alone and depressed in this so highly individualistic and unfriendly, falsely “cool” country called Canada!
Thank you so much for the information about Canada
Sooo true everything she said. Your accent is great btw. 😀
🤭😊
How do we make friends with Canadian?
Thanks you so much dear ♥
Welcome
May God bless you so much for this information am really grateful because it was part of the things I needed to know; just like when I came in UAE newly nobody to pass this kind of information to me , and on Ramada fasting time I was drinking water outside the mail, infarct it wasn't a good one that day
This is fantastic that all this knowledge is in 1 epizod. I do not know nothing about canada, but I wish to go there to live. I also checked many cities and I trying to figure it out, witch one city can be the best for me. Do you have any sugestions? In my country is few rules witch is simular to canada like for example dont offer bribe for Police or any people. Thanks you Sarah for this clip and I going to watch more of your content :)
