My life in Canada for the last 18 years, prison, a near deportation and why people should come | LNN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ต.ค. 2023
- If there is one thing Alex is advocating for, is for Kenyans to go to Canada and not give in to fear. He has been there for 18 years and to him, the place is great and any determined person will eventually make it.
But, he also knows what it means to be imprisoned and almost deported from the same country .
So, how exactly did prison change his life, why was he never deported and what can we all learn from his journey ?
Here is Lynn Ngugi with today’s episode of LNS Rebuilding series

Good morning too LYNN ❤
It is refreshing to hear an immigrant speaking positively about life in majuu 😁
Mouth watering…. interesting educative… the more i listen the more i want…. wish Interview could run for hours 👍
Best interview
Wow 😅 amazing 🤩
The world is too big to stay in one place and life is too short to do just one thing.
I needed to hear this today. Thank you.
Very encouraging
❤❤ Amen 🙏
Boom. This is my confirmation.
Thanks Alex! as I was discouraged with plans of helping my nephew to go to Canada coz of what's going around tiktok, now am encouraged to do so, with God nothing is impossible I know I'll come back here to give testimony. Thanks alot Lynn for hosting Alex na mbarikiwe.
The way Alex is positive and his love for God tells it all. This an eye opener for our brothers and sisters who are pursuing to go to Canada. Am amazed that after 18 years he still has a Kenyan accent. This says alot about who he really is. Thanks Lynn for the episode 🎉
Coz he's speaking to kenyan,what did you expect?
@@jemutaijoy5700 but most Kenyans especially when speaking to fellow kenyans is when the accent comes out strong
People have Kenyan accents because they want to have it some change it to fit in.
@carolinekamande8579 which accent..coz when I am speaking English to my kenyan brother or sister I speak differently as when I am speaking to a west African or American..not everyone understands our British English hence you have to do what you gonna do for you to fit in and to avoid language barrier maybe👍
I'm literally inspired ❤,Alex Mugo you've put it right."It's not all about where you want to be but where God wants you to be, Shalom 🙏😇🥰.
My elder bro has been in Canada for over 25yrs. And we never heard of any complain from him.
Thank you brother for sharing all that!!!!!
Well said.and doing things right.
My daughter relocated to 🇨🇦 through the official migration programme. Now in her second year. Good job within a month of landing. Visited her and met enough Kenyans, some there for 20+ years. It may not be for everyone but IMO, the quality of life is✨
Am preparing to go Canada where is official migration programme I can get visa
Kindly share with us the official migration programs
Hello kindly share the link to official migration programme..how to go about it
This is so inspiring... I still want to go to Canada and I will keep pushing
Everything Munene talked about today is true! The way of life in the Western countries is very straight forward and clearly structured. No magendo!
Our very own Joyce k nurse Canada is soo helpful too, thank you for the information, it's my Dream country. I'll be there soon
Thanks Lynn for this interview... I've lately gotten a Canadian visa but I can't travel until am well informed about everything there....coz with God nothing is impossible... and our dreams are valid...
In Canada and any other foreign countries job opportunities are there..if you get a chance go and try building yourself. If it doesn't work out it won't hurt to go back to Kenya!
No need to fear, kama huja kosea kenya ni kurudi tu
Well said! Canada has not worked out for many. It has also worked for many. I think it has to do with destiny.
Ata ukipata kazi Uganda enda, are we together?
I love this comment this comment is a true genuine comment.
@@Zack-w3rhata 😂eeh we enda tu
I tried going to Canada while young but i was not able to. Now i have sons and we are trying to apply for Canada. We have not been successful. Praying for our dream to be a reality.
Pray to God ask the father first if it’s His will. If it is the will of the Father he will make a way ♥️

I love love this episode and how Alex is so optimistic
Watching from calgary well said i just joined the Kenyan community in Calgary.i cant imagine leaving Canada
Amazing power talk Lynn & Alex.
Alex is so positive about everything & this is the spirit i want 🔥🔥
No giving up!
Thank you for the info Alex.
Be blessed 🙏
Brothers and sisters i live in Canada and this country is one if not the best in the world. Don't get get me wrong, of course nothing is perfect and that being said, in Canada we work, work and work and for those blessed with coming from peaceful countries like Kenya you can come here and make money to build something big back home.
Minimum wage here is $15 an hour and I can guarantee you few people in Africa make that amount even a month. However, for an educated African obviously you want more than that and you should come with skills that will allow you to make at least $30 an hour. Skills now needed are those like in the IT, plumbery, car mechanics, nurses, electricians, construction industries. These guys make more money than those in the offices with university degrees.
When I say this I'm not talking about those who learned those skills from the streets, I'm talking about approved credentials.
One more thing you should know is that coming here as a single person isn't advisable, couples make more money and achieve more.

Thanks bro. I live in Toronto and I will always encourage people to come and make it a home for themselves. I have my siblings and cousins there and I alwaysvisit every year
Realy am trying to get a chance to come there ,am here in Qatar
Hi @freddymugasa, do you any employers or agents who can get for me an electrician job.
I love how our brother has put everything straight. I went to Canada as a student and went through the same system that’s going on right now. I got my papers and moved south to be with my parents. I have always encourage people to move there wakipata chance and they have to be serious about their lives. The system was overwhelmed by influx of people and it will absorbs all Kenyans. I always ask my friends wenye wako Canada to help and host as many Kenyans or African as they can. Canada is good and kama haikuwa canada I won’t have come to the USA. If you have a visa kwenda canada. Go to other provinces like Alberta, Nova Scotia, Manitoba mahali hakuna large population.
Well said 🙏
Si unicconect na host wa canada
Irene share your number I can host you
Nova Scotia, are there African s in Nova Scotia, Canada,..Manitoba is there money in Manitoba or Alberta??? All we know is Toronto
Lakini how do you come
Very informative and inspiring. Thanks for having this guest on your show Lynn.
Yes!
I can affirm you that, as a South Sudanese full Canadian citizen citizen since 2001 (22) years here, the brother (Alex) have said; the truth 100% about the life here in Canada.
Remember, United States of America just 25 kilometers South of the border here is totally different in comparisons.
Thank you, Lynn. This is one of the most informative Diasporans you have interviewed. Alex, your honesty about navigating the Diasporan journey, bureaucracy, and transformative, evolving experiences is so openly honest. Also, your empathic understanding for those willing to try but, reminding them to remember to consult God first for everything
Excellent interview Lynn! Thanks Alex for the inspirational story.
Pastor Alex 🙌🙏👏 Good to see you on Lynn's show. This is a great great man of God!!
I'm glad that someone is affirming something I once heard that it's better to be in Canada because you won't be in the streets forever, that somehow you will find a way out of that situation. Thanks Lynn once again for always inspiring us I can tell you for free we look forward to more of your shows. The guest was of great help since he is a resident hence give first hand information he also sound quite informed with the Canadian laws.
Alex is talking the truth...i have been here for 4 months and i tell you Canada is good... character development ndio lazima.. and it helps you to go through the process and you get what God has kept for you and what you really want...i encourage people to come if you get a way.
For agent.. they really help in getting the Visa.. that is all.. don't be cheated on anything else.. you get here you get into the process and you have to do it for yourself.. but Canada people and government are very helpful...i thank God i came..in whichever way i can't regret..i thank God 🙏
Which agent would you recommend please
Very encouraged and am looking forward to set foot in Canada in Jesus' Name.
I have a friend who came to America almost 30 years ago, got into the club scene and drinking. His life has spiraled out of control over the years and now he's very sick, on his deathbed. I wish he would have turned his life around like this gentleman. 😢
We went to Montreal, Canada as children for two years. My dad was furthering his studies in medicine. We complained everyday that we missed Kenya and wanted to return. I wished I can be asked now. Alex is encouraging me to jump there.
When are you plan to relocate back in kenya?
Am inspired. Thanks Lynn for hosting Alex. The 1st paper, "where does God want you to be"😂❤
Thank you Alex for speaking on behalf of many of us here in Canada. I have been here for 22 years and I believe the few that say Canada is not good is because things didn’t work for them. Just like in Kenya many can’t say Kenya is working for them. Great opportunities in this Country, Canada.
Hello njeri
Njeri iv been conned alot of money trying to come to Canada
Aki juzi I even almost became suicidal
I lost 2,6M
I'm devastated
If someone have financial means want to visit can Kenyan in Canada help to show them around??
@@SueJohn-pi9xqmy dear if you can afford more than 2m, that means you can go to Canada as a tourist or as a student.Agents abadan katan.I am sorry and i hope you will find your way out
Alex my Ex classmate... can't forget how amazing you were in basketball....you inspires the class of 2001 with Biblical scriptures on a daily basis.
It was a pleasure watching and listening to your story which you never happened to give us in our WhatsApp group
😊
Thank you for bearing witness for Alex. Bless you!
I like the maturity of Alex about everything. I lived in 🇨🇦 for 4yrs in the early 2000 & it was a lifetime experience. I now live in the UK, but most people who talk bad about 🇨🇦 went there with that quick rich mentality so that they can show off on social media or whenever they come back to Africa for a visit. Any country that offers free top-notch healthcare, education, unlimited job opportunities, clean drinking water, good service delivery etc is good for sane people who want to better their lives. If you get that chance, grab it with both hands. Stay away from those fake TH-cam wannabes who're looking for content by instilling fear on you. & most of those people always moan about how bad 🇨🇦 is for content views, but you'll never hear them saying they're leaving 🇨🇦, 🇬🇧, 🇺🇸, 🇦🇺, 🇳🇿 etc.
They should interview us who went to Canada before smart phones. Ok, black berry was the thing then, but only facebook was upcoming social media platform. TH-camrs were not making miragtion vedios or house tours, this is what i wore to Beyonce concert( meanwhile Beyonce was having concerts then) Now people move to Canada and want the house that a youtuber is show casing on her channel. They want quick quick. I am glad i moved before social media was a thing. I had nothing to compare Canada to. Infact those days if you landed into a good host family, you were pretty much set.
@FlourishtheMillionaire389
Same here. I'm glad I took that plunge before the social media. I enjoyed my time in 🇨🇦. I also spent 2 years living & working in 🇺🇸 before I moved to 🇬🇧. Building wealth takes time, but these youtubers don't get it. They're looking for quick, fix & get rich quick schemes.
Too honest-honesty is a sin these days@@Flourish_today -i have seen people leaving affordable apartments and renting high end homes to just make sure they also host 'BBQ'............At the end of it all,one is chewing their nails looking at the ceilings because bills have piled up,nothing attached to one's name etc
@@Stirlingshirecastlehow is life there in UK. A friend of mine wants me pay alot of money to come there. Kuko aje
@johnienijohnie
For, me it is good. I've been here for a while now & I know how the system works. Avoid paying a lot of 💰. If you want to come, try using British owned companies & avoid black African owned care agencies. I've seen them exploiting their fellow Africans. If you're a degree holder, you can use the skilled route to come. First, check the govt skilled jobs that are on demand & take it from there.
This is the best episode ever.
Well spoken.
Point to point.
Will come back .
Bro Eric.
Trust me u r walking in wisdom and knowledge.
Waaaa....is one of a kind. So, there are remnants out here. He is such a hope to many. Makes me wanna step there
Very inspiring talk from Alex. I have been to Canada and I loved it. Very true a welcoming place for many immigrants. Thanks for clearing the path for those who were in doubt but had plans to go there. Thank Lynn for another beautiful talk show. If you go to Canada, don’t pass by USA get visas for both places. Will be waiting for you. 🙏🏼
Which means did you use to get to usa?
@@briankimeli8390 get to Canada then with the 1st level of residence permit you can visit the USA
Thanks so much for that conversation...very informative I will never be discouraged daring abroad especially Canada. Keep it lit LYNN!
I like this guy Alex! Let people go to canada. Very positive vibes!!
Alex you are God sent thank you so much.the Lord spoke to me he is taking us to Canada we applied on August still waiting for the visa.thank for encouraging me Gods will is the best.pray with me to get that Visa.
God bless you Alex for even standing with our people in Canada and to encourage them too that we can do it in Canada...
So, there's a price to pay for everything in life... you like the beauty of roses, you'll have to put up with the thorns. Love the beauty of the rainbow🌈? You gotta put up with the rain😅 nothing worth having comes easy. Not in Kenya & certainly not in Canada😊 myself, I came to Canada from Kenya, Eldoret. 30 someodd years ago. Never been homeless and haven't experienced any severe hardships. I attribute this, perhaps, due to the fact I've always never lost sight of my objectives, to be successful. And, success to me does not mean you're hoarding tons of cash & sleepless nights. It means you live within your means & don't fail to plan. Go to bed early, wake up early, exercise, eat well, socialize, keep up with your industry trends & apply this where you need to. You don't need 3 Mcmansions. You only need one small house to hold you & your loved ones. Do not try to keep up with anyone. Mind your own business. Live & let live. Let me know how this works for you 😂
Good morning LNN family 👋
Have a blissful weekend ❤️
This man of God is Real aki
Character developmemt 😂😂👏👏.
Wakenya lazima tupray aki
Thankyou Alex for representing most of us here.We love you bro😊
Lynn , that guy Alex is real so good easy not proud, very positive and his faith comes first. may he be blessed more. Information perfect.
I will not die before I reach Canada thus my prayers I will work tirelessly to be there one day
I hope your dreams come true because I had the same dreams even at the early age of 6 years. At 19 years it happened and I now have adult children and grandchildren born in the US. Stick to your dream but don't feel vain and bitter if doors don't seem to be opening as quickly as you would like. If you conceived the idea, you can achieve it.
Keep on praying time will come. It's good country have been here for more than 8 years..
Wow!! It's an amazing conversation with this man Munene....my take away...Know what God wants for you in life and where He wants you to be and He will guide through it all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉.
God bless you Lynn❤❤❤❤
Canada is the best place to be.
I have been here 6yrs ago an still going an if one gets a chance this is the place to be.
Which Canadian province is that?
I live in ottawa and it is very hard kukaa chini ya maji. Canada dose not joke with papers.
maybe you should bring a story from a someone who returned ,so that we can make sound judgement of the stories
Talking about visa, I'm a south African, huge fan of this show. Love the work Lynn you are doing with your team. I can't wait for you guys to be in south Africa 😄, I hope to meet you *star struck ⭐😃⭐
Have been inspired more by your strong faith. Kiindly, I need guidance on how my teenage son can come to Canada Alex. He has an interest of studying and working in Canada.
As for my perspective, embrace both sides both where you are from and where you go. It's difficult and good both ways.
In every circumstances God always comes to rescue His beloved one
Hello Lynn ,let me take position and listen to this story because my dream country is Canada 🇨🇦
I came to America in my 20's. Luckily I lived in a small college town in the south. Every Kenyan I met was either doing their masters or PhD, no drinking, no drugs, no partying. In my mind I thought that was the norm. Eventually I got my masters degree, got a good job and never looked back. It really matters who you surround yourself with, they can make or break you.
Was is it in Portland?
@@nginamacharia8225 no, Blacksburg Virginia. Every Kenyan was attending Virginia Tech, a very prestigious university
I wish I can get a chance
Oh thank u so so so much Lynn for hosting a Canadian that brings the positive Canada that we Canadians know and are grateful for. Thank u so much Alex for representing 🇨🇦
Those answers were kingly Alex especially of why people struggle abroad..im one of them too tho citizen now of USA..I came right from high school and for real I don't regret abit..as a hustler from hustler nation kucheni tu hustle mtaani..kudos Lynn 🎉
@LynnNgugi can i get In Touch with Alex for i am looking to go to Canada
Wow very great ,we are here in Canada very new and not scared let's trust in God thanks Alex for opening this good information about Canada, very encouraging
Can you assist me with your agency please
Uncle Alex❤ .. Mugo Family 🔥🚀💯
Feels great to hear from Munene a childhood friend at school for the blind , feels extremely glad to know that you are now serving God keep ministering more grace#little Milimu😊
What a great story of God’s grace 🙌 👏 🙏 Brother Alex , please keep working with our students, you are doing a great job. It is hard for African students abroad. Thank you Sir 😊 💓 Blessings 🙌 from South 🇿🇦 Africa.
One thing I would say is that moving either Canada and U.S, you need to be mentally ready. It is the opposite life style than Africa. But if you focused enough, you will be rewarded.
Amazing interview! He's very positive and very inspiring.
Awww what amazing news from the horses mouth , God bless you Alex...Canada we are coming in Jesus name
Daaaaan Mugo!!!! Hatts Offf President of KCA @Calgary, Was my HeadBoy in high school-Embu...Good Job.
Dorcas this is Alex his brother!
I like this part "God where do you want me to be"
finally...affirmation from the horses mouth,positive news about canada,GOD bless you lynn and amazing guest...i gonna make a move now
Thank you lynn mugo is such an encouragement.We thank God for him.I honestly needed to hear this .I think i have never heard Kenyans helping each other in such a way .Its mostly other countries.May God bless you for letting God use to speak to many....Alex i have no word you are heaven sent
This show is an eye-opener for me. I'm trusting God for an opportunity in Canada.
many people are telling us to go to Canada but they are not giving us legit plartforms to start from we need people to hold each others hands
It not has easy has it was 10yrs ago, I came here 11yrs now and it didn't cost me a penny now it cost a lot to come here different government so some stuff changes .
Happy to see you brother Alex sharing your testimony on this platform. Asante sana Lynn
I've lived in the US for over 30 years and I can assure you that my brother is talking out of his axx. If you can afford 2 meals a day in Kenya or anywhere in Africa, you have no business coming to the west to be a modern-day slave. The trade off is not worthy the crams you'll get once you migrate. My people, enjoy your short life while you can! Don't trade off your integrity and dignity for this trap!
Wooow! This man is soo real and full of optimism!
We will look for him soon! Canada twasija🤣🤣
Kudos Lynn and team. Excellent fact-based interview. All the best.
Me am going i got my visa on may i live in Turkey (5, years) na kama nilisurvive hapa pia Canada nitamake it
This is an accurate narration of life out here. There is help bit one has to find it.
Quite an encouraging show. I am booking my flight. Mungu mbele
Every nation you have to abide by the laws🤗🙂
I just like the way Alex is encouraging some of us, I think this is how its supposed to be,than people who always discourage the rest. Thank you man of God may God bless you abundantly.
Canada is the most welcoming country in the world..but, No faking,,
You must work..hard and you must go to school to get a good job and enjoy your sweat!
So 5 yrs of hard life..but..patients! Pay..
Best pple ever.
Unfortunately, some cartels have taken over LMIA process and are asking for CAN$30k or more from visitors who need work permits.
LMIA process needs better clarification since people don't know it's a new program to Canada's system and Employers.Secondly I hear pple say it's meant for certain provinces.I would say if not sure of a certain program seek for another way out rather than pouring your time and money.
LMIA is misunderstood. A company is given Approval after submitting a Labour Market Impact Assessement form + a fee (which is on the CIC website). Once approved they can hire foreigners to work for them ( workers are tied to that company, if you are fired or you resign, your work permit expires too unless you get another contract with a LMIA approved company.
Any company in Canada, but Québec might have an extra layer of Provincial Approval.
With $30K, one can do so much in Kenya,don't waste it on scoundrels who will pay you minimum wage and make life miserable.
@priskayvonneouko9060
Job seekers can no longer access those places, fast foods, etc, unless you pay some scammers $30k+. Then you work for minimum wage, and your work permit is closed for a number of years.
Cost of living has spiraled and holding one minimum wage job is untenable.
Alex has shown us the importance of seeking God first above everything.
InshaAllah I will one day go Canada 🇨🇦Maisha ni popote Bora uzima
Alex is painted the right picture of Canada, May God's favor locate you and stay blessed Lynn.
Hey Lynn..great interview! You forgot to ask him to share his social media platforms and contacts.
Linn wapi ya this person ,he has made me want to visit canada and especially Calgary ,honest talk ,that was good
And you don’t have to be criminal to be arrested in Canada 🇨🇦 or USA 🇺🇸 All it takes is a small mistake or someone wicked telling a lie about you.
You are always innocent until proven guilty! This is the law of the western countries. But if you are arrested and you corporate with the corps, everything will turn out alright! Lies are not facts! So those who would tell lies on you may end up getting in trouble themselves for telling a lie!
It’s true
That's why we say hypocrisy, Satan's agencie
Any place, that you think of as home or make it home, is liveable.
A friend shared this link with me this afternoon not knowing that today I Received my "We regret to inform you that your application was refused." from the Canadian visa application portal.
Not giving up though. God's timing. Please pray for me that I'm able to process this with sanity and grace.
Hugs ❤
Been denied 2times but God opened other ways currently been able to travel to Germany, Switzerland France, Netherlands Belgium, and Austria.. Sio chocha with time God comes through trust the process
Just like Alex said is it God’s timing?
At God's time. Better will come. Kindly allow me to ask, did you use an agency? Did they tell you the reason for refusal? Praying you get better opportunities ❤
@janewambui8306 Be encouraged and Yes Keep trusting in God's timing..He is working even when you cant see it.
Refreshing, its not even faiir to speak negatively of a Country that tops in accomodating migrants. Kudos Alex😃Liz, excellent questions.
Unapata mtu amekaa Canada for more than 10 years but ukiwauliza vile unaezaenda uko wanakuambia vile life in Canada is hard unashindwa kama life is not easy in Canada why cant they come back home.
Aki wanasemanga tuu hivyo
He is right. Unfortunately people expect short cuts in these countries and that is the problem. Let no one lie to you that they will bend their system for you. You are expected to follow the rules and do as required, especially as an immigrant, and you won't have problems with the authorities.
Their systems can either align you or break you.
I would love to sit down with LNN sometimes when I get to Kenya. We need more Alex who articulately tell the truth. I myself been here for over 30 years. Came here at 20. anything could have gone wrong. But managed and did well. Need peaceful Africa with no drama in order to invest. Still exploring. Kenya might be the option.
Calgary police don’t play , been seeing lots Kenyans getting deported from Calgary to Lethbridge so sad. If u have no family here it’s so tough 100%
Very timely message... thanks Lynn and Alex.❤
Bigup from Uganda. Inspiring message. Be blessed
Thank you Alex for restoring back my hope......was almost giving up.......God has brought you here at the right time...be blessed
Aki na vile Canada nikickia kuna baridi how do they manage kulala kwa streets
Very inspiring we argued with a friend about canada and today i hope she has ears to listen rather than listening to fake propagadas. Alex thanks for clarification.Canada is so big and so many opportunities the problem with some media is to post scaring videos showing how canada is hard .Thanks lynn you have interviewd the right person canada tunaenda no giving up mungu mbele !
