Systemic Racism, Loneliness, Sadness, Tasteless Food, Bad Weather and Taxes are major factors why immigrants and citizens are leaving Canada in droves. Remember you only have one life to live, make sure you stay wherever you are happy. You can do better outside of North America. You can do better in your country of birth if only you can stop complaining. I Left Canada for good last year and that is the best decision of my life. Canada is extremely stressful and boring for myself and my children. Now they are happier, stronger and more respectful in Africa. There is indeed no place like home. We are now growing our food round the year, raising our animals. My kids are happier and more creative. They always thank me for giving them the chance to experience a different life from that of Canada. They are not missing Canada and anytime I ask them if they want to visit, they are quick to say no. All of them agreed that teachers in Nigeria are way better than their teachers in Canada. It is indeed a big shock.
I totally agree with you on this hun, but for most people, just want to see it for themselves to understand what canada is all about lol. Experience is the best teacher, I feel you
The moment I read to half of your comment, I immediately figured out you are my countryman...from the COMPLAIN part I figured it and RESPECTFUL part, I was done and gonna bet anyone and at the end you mentioned it... welcome back home brother, my candid advise is that as an African and being Africans who never always want to forget their roots, EUROPE is the best place to relocate to..... Peace.
I agree with the teachers and education, when I came to Canada to study it was a walk in the park my knowledge of math, trigonometry, algebra and the capacity to handle stress was way more advanced and skills in physics, anatomy, and logical thinking my teachers developed in me was so helpful. In great part due to the ammount of competition back home and I was also in private school with 4 languages, economics, world history and latin etc.... All that stuff gave me a great advantage, compared to their education system and several of the international students found the same.
Systemic racism is what made me leave Canada, after 4 years of legal residence/citizenship. Canadians will not accept your friendship, since they feel superior to any new immigrants. In all 4 years I only made 1 Canadian friend! all my friends were newn immigrants like, they also left after I did. They felt lonely and Isolated just like I was.
I was an immigrant to Canada once. The racism I endured there was so ever present at work, church and other places, that I gave up after the 4th year. Then I left for good. There is no such thing as free health in Canada, it is paid with the exaggerated taxes everybody will be forced to pay, from all directions. The weather is extreme cold, but it was the constant racism from Canadians what made me decide to leave. And... I am white skin, straight hair. Yet, I felt I was always talked down, and no hope to make any Canadian friends, if any (because everybody is busy) other immigrants may be interested in friendship because they feel as lonely, and isolated, as you are, as well.
@strongbad666 Yeap, I remember that channel, called Much Music, in the 80's, it was part of SCTV networks, headquartered in Queen Street, Toronto. I was always watchng it. If they did not know there was racism there, it maybe was because it was always that way.
The “racism” you face is all in your head. Even a “white” person who moves to another white area (small town) or foreign country faves mistreatment, labelling, and discrimination. Even within African or Asian or any country with the same “race” face discrimination. You didn’t face racism in Canada. You faced reality where people who you didn’t grow up with don’t cuddle or worship you based on the colour of your skin. 🤦♂️My goodness the ignorance
@@ML-ov7wo Nope. The ignorant is you, who cannot see further than your nose. Not allowing to work immigrants with long experience in their careers, in their fields of knowledge, just because they have not worked in Canada before, *IS RACISM PLAIN AND CLEAR*. If you cannot see it, maybe you are beyond ignorance, but rather just stupidity.
I will leave my beautiful Africa to go and hustle but I will never stay in a strange country permanently especially Western countries, at the end Home is always the best no matter what, organic food, weather, culture etc. Thanks for the updates 👍
Our countries were always the best until white people came over and colonized us by destroying our economy and still do it today through U.S imperialism.
The point you put across on loneliness was so accurate, it gets lonely 100% when you are abroad. I have also seen systemic racism in Europe, it just breaks down your strength and drive.
are you sure its not hatred towards you and not racism. most of the time you guys think its racists is actualy hate for the individual regarding of race
You cannot expect to go to any foreign country and be treated like you belong. Plus black immigrants (Caribbean, Africans, etc) ALWAYS do the exact same thing and usually fail. You arrive and try to just work your way through your challenges. You'll never get ahead that way. You have to work together and stop looking for fairness or white hospitality.
Canada isn’t a white country anymore. You can blame it on racism anymore. If you went to Japan you’d be treated even more like you don’t belong. Anyone going to a country that is different than where they grew up will face mistreatment at some level. Canadians who are labelled as “white” and indoctrinated to self hate. So stop with the BS about racism and grow up already.
I find Vancouver to be hostile. Rent are expensive and overrated (I am in fact Belgian and grew up in France just to give you some context); buying a house is an “insult” (this is why I plan to buy in Europe instead as it is 2-3 times cheaper if I buy in some towns in France or Belgium) and many people in Vancouver seem to be unhappy and frustrated by where their lives has taken them! In regards to the girls here, I found them to be “nice” but in fact, they are just nice on the surface only (if I have to compare it to my experience of girls in France or Belgium). In Vancouver, most girls are very “money oriented” (yes and many of them date “sugar daddies but that is not known outside Canada, right?) and so many look for financial security in a partner than a sane relationship! I am not astonished to see why so many end up being unhappy, depressed suffering in their relationship and above all… end up being alone (and end up using dildos) and regretting their lives years later! After having lived in this place for 8 years (a place which I would leave behind soon hopefully as we are heading back to Europe soon), I am so glad to leave this place for good! Many relationships here are fake and superficial (compared to Europe) And it is a city where sooooo many girls (they pretend they are not) are sooo lonely.. now I am ni longer astonished why dildos sell so well!!! This is why so many (people and Vancouver girls) Here smoke pits and end up being depressed or having lots of mental disorders! Now on top of that, I hate their hospitals where you have to wait for everything (in Belgium that has never existed), and dislike those fake social interactions that many think it is worth something when in fact, it is just superficial-ness, illusion and coldness. I strong believe that Canada is “worth it” but providing that you are thinking of it as a place to pass by, not retire or immigrate for ever! Just have a look at the Canadian healthcare system and how bad it is! th-cam.com/video/GSTTZ7mtwKc/w-d-xo.html
Wow wow thanks for this, to be honest I totally agree with you on this and on relationships, maybe you haven't just lucky😅I'm sorry but yeah, lets just pass time in Canada and then go elsewhere. Thanks fir the read my friend, I think I'm gonna make a whole video out of this. Stay well🥰
Thank you so much for this video, it's an eye opener for those of us admiring Canada from afar and wishing to be there some day. With this we can make a better choice. God bless you.
I came to Canada 21 years ago. At the time the houses were affordable. I would never make that move nowadays as an immigrant. I'd go somewhere else. There are too many red flags in this country to make it a good destination.
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.
@@Shauna2003 Europe is expensive and immigration there is difficult. Also Europe hates immigrants as xenophobia has increased significantly over the past ten years due to the over one million immigrants that have gone to Europe mostly from Africa and the Middle East. I recommend Southeast Asia. I live in the Philippines now.
As a European, I find The issue with Vancouver (and Canada are the following): 1.it has become so much expensive while the salaries are so-so 2. More and more people are becoming like robots 3. Talking to strangers is not normal!!! For me coming from Europe (Belgium), this is very strange!!!! 4. Public transport suck!!!! (It is only good enough for people who have never left Canada) 5. The healthcare service is better than the US but is a disaster when compared to Europe… and even to some African countries (I have worked in west Africa for the French goblin the past and believe me…. There u can have access to doctors on the spot.. no wait, no stupid triage systems!!) 6. If you have a kid with a special need (like a daughter of my colleague at work), a city like Vancouver has just 2 or ..3. Schools for special need children!!! My colleague told me both of those schools love money sooo much and quality services are far from their priority!!! But yes, Vancouver, a big city has just 2’of them!!’ How stupid is that! 7. Girls are interested for most of them! 8. People have been raised to get INDEBTED and they are taught to spend, SPEND and Spend!!! The whole North American system is based on debt and banks get rich out of people being in debt!!! I am such in a hurry to fly back to Europe!!! 9. Unlike Europeans, North Americans and Canadians are taught to be productive, work more and not complain (unlike us Belgians or french). This has made Canadians frustrated in the inside and this frustration comes out under things like abusive language, abusive driving, binge drinking, abusing drugs and even …. Terrible behaviour that are not worth mentioning here as they are terrible to be stated for a country that claims itself to be part of G7! 10. Pensions are soooo low compared to Belgium or Germany and even if you have RRSP, chances are you won’t save much anyway and cost of living will always be increasing!!! 11. People are so lonely and have issues making friends!!! Result: many Canadians are depressed! 12. My project: leave Canada as soon as I can as staying here in this strange place is just … a trap!
Wow wow, thank you soo much for the highlights, you have explained all the points soo well I can almost feel your emotions. It's a tough world and even tougher in some of African countries. What to do now, if you have a place you can find comfort in, then that's where you run to. Once again, thanks for all the points, very helpful and I wish you the best as you plan to relocate back home. Best wishes 🙏
@@carymnuhgibrilsamadalnasud1222 publicity plays a huge role in making people believe that!! I honestly see lots of better things in Europe: better retirement, better transport system )Canada’s transport system really sucks!; better medical system to say a few
@@Belgianperspective Europe especially the Scandinavian countries are thousand times better than Canada. Less racism, better education system, better healthcare system, better infrastructure, nicer and friendlier people. The people there are more social and outgoing. Dating life is better too I heard.
I heard in Canada Health care system is not good. No immediate treatment and we have to wait for 3 hours or more to get emergency treatment like high stomach pain (appendicitis). please let me know is it correct?
One think about Canada that no one mention is that with all the taxes taken out your paycheck you will be one paycheck close to homelessness get ready to have 3jobs +/side hustles living that type of lifestyle u can forget about starting a family
Akot you hit the nail on the head with all those pointers. It's not to discourage but to enlighten because some people have this notion that North America (Canada) is all dandy and negativity-free. I'm from the Caribbean I've been to Canada in 2019. Yes, racism is very subtle there, don't be fooled by the Santa Claus or Mother Mary niceness, lol.
@@AkotTV1 Canada there alot racism here especially here in the G.T.A Alot of it is very open especially in the Area of renting coming from Indians,Asians etc.
@@AkotTV1 it was so bad that a Indian women from the Toronto star did a documentary about brown complicty in white surpremecy and Chinese reporter said that anti black racism is not uncommon in Asian Canadian Communities.Canada the subtle racism is alot worst than us because you don't know what these people are thinking about you at least In Australia and the USA people tell you what they think.People here are also very rude and anti social.
@@johnblackmen8214 sometimes I wonder, it's better when you know who your enemy is but if your enemy poses and looks like an angel, then it's very difficult
Daniel please don't, this video is for educational purposes and not to discourage. Everyone has a different story and you never know how your story may turn out. Keep Canada in the list
Nigeria we pay tax but you can't see the effect of the taxes we pay instead it ends in some peoples pocket.so Canada is still far far better cos the system is working.
Gal has it nailed! My family has been in the Ottawa Valley (originally from Ireland) since 1825. I've watched this place turn more into a Welfare/Nanny-state since 1964. Taxes are too high so there is a Thriving cash underground that is constant. Voters (western countries) now think that wage disparity is more important than "risk/reward". 62% of Americans want to start a business compared to 25% of Canadians. . . THIS should give an understanding on where the Canadian mindset is about Taxing the hand that feeds you. The cold weather just makes you stronger and indifferent about it. I applaud immigrants that come here to start businesses and families. Good video.
How little you know. Australia has great healthcare, great climate,extremely low unemployment, great education, opportunities for everyone,low crime,always at the top or near the top of quality of life index. Sydney for eg 40% of its population were born overseas so don’t even bother trying the race card.
Thank you for this heads up so I can know how to navigate when I eventually arrive. With you as my guide I know I will sure fit in. Yes oo, if they can they will tax the air people are breathing. Be Blessed.
You are not kidding. The "unofficial" tax rate is 35% on earnings and 200% on energy. Nobody has any chance of getting ahead. You may survive, but you will be miserable. Also your story about racism may be true if the owner is over 80. Most of the jobs here are taking care of the extremely old folks that have lost their mind, but to be honest it is rare for anyone else. On the other side I heard of a landlord who had a rental on the 33rd floor that the family in it planted a garden in the bedroom and flooded the entire building. That "custom" may drive some jadedness, no question
The TRUTH is, Canada is suffering right now. Canada is not desperate. That's why you have to pull your own weight and pay your dues when you get here. The TRUTH is, Canada is the best country IN THE WORLD! Only a fool would leave not seeing the long-term prospects for prosperity.
@Akot TV thank you. As a true and true Canadian, I really appreciate how often you took time to qualify your statements about the current various climates (political, health & wellness, taxes, weather, etc). Shows me that you are considering things from all perspectives with no intent to decieve or deter anyone from coming to their own conclusions. Thank you again for the thought provoking video.
Everyone will have their own personal experiences, roads and outcomes but if people ask me I tell them Canada is not a good place to immigrate to in 2022. One of the reasons for the loneliness is that Canada is a kind of 'work camp' and everyone is only thinking about jobs, not losing their job, earning money, getting extra hours and where they are going to live if they can get an extra job. So consequently, its very rare any Canadian people have the same free time at the same time to get together. Anyway, it's good to let people know there are reasons to NOT try and move to Canada at the moment.
Family settled Vancouver arriving in 1891. I have travelled extensively. Canada is a horrid place to live now. Selfish, arrogant, ever polite sheep like people. High debt, high taxes, brainwashing Big Papa Govt. No culture. Feminized men, and masculine women. Rude co-workers. Petty and selfish. After five years here in Canada you will be able to count true friends on one finger. I spent the last 12 years working in Haiti, volunteering. Returning to Canada is like reentering a bad dystopian horror movie.
Two girls (white canadians) I befriended told me they could get highly paying government jobs every week if they chose to; though they had not finished high school! I had a graduate degree but could not even get an ice shovelling positon in some establishments unless I knew somebody! Good foreign degrees dont matter in Canada my friend. Be prepared!
Immigration in Canada is an absolute business. Bring in highly skilled and educated immigrants with their money to work for them and pay taxes to supply their social programs.
Iam having thoughts of moving to Canada and yes this came right on time. I now know what to expect. What worries me is the winter part... So do they have summer at some point?
Yes, absolutely. Most major cities in Canada are near the US border. It's very cold from about December to mid-March (anywhere from 0 to -30 degrees Celsius on average). Lots of rain in April, and it gradually gets warmer. Warmest time is mid-June to late August (summers DO get very hot here - average high probably 30 degrees Celsius). Sept, Oct, November getting chillier, but a lovely time of year. But the further north you go, yes, longer winters, shorter summers, for sure.
For every 1 person that leaves Canada, there will be 10 Indians and 2 Chinese that will replace him or her. These 2 nations will take over Canada in the next 10 years.
I entreat to say I have enjoyed your enlightenment program, which is a real showcase down here in these countries. I totally agree with you on all cases you have mentioned why they leave. They robbed Africans many years and that’s why we can’t also blame our African leaders for not developing Africa so quick. These people are merciless with taxes especially, other factors we would bear to endure at least. God bless my young beautiful girl, have enjoyed your program
I am getting the impression that unless you are born rich immigrant, or fleeing for your life from another place, it is basically unlivable country for immigrants. Heard this, not just from this video but from lots and lots of other TH-camrs as well.
It is United Nations and George Soros who claim Canada needs more immigrants. The Canadian Government signed contracts to accept millions of people from all over the world. The reality is 10M jobs in North America will be replaced with AI...soon.
Thank you so much for this video this video really opened my eyes more and more and beginning to appreciate where i am more and more .I have heard some of these things before i think Canada is overated .
@@AkotTV1 Good for you but i wont trade my country for anywhere else more over i work in Oil and gas in my country here in Africa so i cant complain i only go abroad for training,visit and upgrade courses have visited nearly all the countries in Europe,Asia,middle East and i also visited the United states last year am not against people moving abroad for better opportunities but for as for me have been so blessed right here in Africa.
I love this country but I'm getting constantly more concerned because Trudeau is screwing it up, I left home because of corruption but the corruption is rapidly sipping into this government. I want to remain in here I have a lot of friends and a comunity, the only thing that is worrisome is the corruption that is festering in the government which may destroy it. I pray that the country does not rot as my home country did.
Heeee mamaaaaa 9:19 say that loud🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 ohhh. Came to Canada i was 15. Now am 43. Have 2 adult children 24 & 22. There are independent smart beautiful children. Am blessed 🙏🏽 BUT CAN’T stand anymore this life of loneliness. The cold 🥶 weather -45 degrees hell i can’t take it. My hands & feet bones 🦴 can’t take it. The cold weather makes me depressive. The timing life: everything is timed 😬😬😡 can’t wait to return back to AFRICA
Even Canadian youths leave Canada for other Countries! I've met a lot of them in several other Countries; and they have no intents of going back Canada!
@@AkotTV1 and the only time I saw this country in such bad posture was at that time when I arrived. But then I was a student on a grant and didn't care too much, though I could see people around me crushed by the economic situation. Plus at that time there was still an independent press in Canada whose work helped correct the situation within a couple of years, but now this is no longer the case they are owned by the federal government. I don't see much hope and I am too old to take a chance on waiting, when I have better options.
Abroad will humble you 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the country I’m in racism is like drinking water. Just love yourself 🙈and be good to everyone. That’s my advice to everyone. Just learn that 3 minutes smile 😀

@@Shauna2003 are you a canadian
It's so beautiful hearing you out, this could not be more accurately put. You are doing a great one dear, welldone.
Oh thank you 🙏
Thanks for the honesty ! A lot of people lie a lot

As a European, I find The issue with Vancouver (and Canada are the following):
1.it has become so much expensive while the salaries are so-so
2. More and more people are becoming like robots
3. Talking to strangers is not normal!!! For me coming from Europe (Belgium), this is very strange!!!!
4. Public transport suck!!!! (It is only good enough for people who have never left Canada)
5. The healthcare service is better than the US but is a disaster when compared to Europe… and even to some African countries (I have worked in west Africa for the French goblin the past and believe me…. There u can have access to doctors on the spot.. no wait, no stupid triage systems!!)
6. If you have a kid with a special need (like a daughter of my colleague at work), a city like Vancouver has just 2 or ..3. Schools for special need children!!! My colleague told me both of those schools love money sooo much and quality services are far from their priority!!! But yes, Vancouver, a big city has just 2’of them!!’ How stupid is that!
7. Girls are interested for most of them!
8. People have been raised to get INDEBTED and they are taught to spend, SPEND and Spend!!! The whole North American system is based on debt and banks get rich out of people being in debt!!! I am such in a hurry to fly back to Europe!!!
9. Unlike Europeans, North Americans and Canadians are taught to be productive, work more and not complain (unlike us Belgians or french). This has made Canadians frustrated in the inside and this frustration comes out under things like abusive language, abusive driving, binge drinking, abusing drugs and even …. Terrible behaviour that are not worth mentioning here as they are terrible to be stated for a country that claims itself to be part of G7!
10. Pensions are soooo low compared to Belgium or Germany and even if you have RRSP, chances are you won’t save much anyway and cost of living will always be increasing!!!
11. People are so lonely and have issues making friends!!! Result: many Canadians are depressed!
12. My project: leave Canada as soon as I can as staying here in this strange place is just … a trap!
Wow wow, thank you soo much for the highlights, you have explained all the points soo well I can almost feel your emotions. It's a tough world and even tougher in some of African countries. What to do now, if you have a place you can find comfort in, then that's where you run to. Once again, thanks for all the points, very helpful and I wish you the best as you plan to relocate back home. Best wishes 🙏
After going through so many horrible things in this country. People still call it the best country in the world including delusional immigrants. 😂😂😂😂
@@carymnuhgibrilsamadalnasud1222 publicity plays a huge role in making people believe that!! I honestly see lots of better things in Europe: better retirement, better transport system )Canada’s transport system really sucks!; better medical system to say a few
@@Belgianperspective People are very delusional especially those that live in impoverished countries that want to come here.
@@Belgianperspective Europe especially the Scandinavian countries are thousand times better than Canada. Less racism, better education system, better healthcare system, better infrastructure, nicer and friendlier people. The people there are more social and outgoing. Dating life is better too I heard.
I heard in Canada Health care system is not good. No immediate treatment and we have to wait for 3 hours or more to get emergency treatment like high stomach pain (appendicitis). please let me know is it correct?
Now compare that with Healthcare at all which one is better?
One think about Canada that no one mention is that with all the taxes taken out your paycheck you will be one paycheck close to homelessness get ready to have 3jobs +/side hustles living that type of lifestyle u can forget about starting a family
THIS!
Akot you hit the nail on the head with all those pointers. It's not to discourage but to enlighten because some people have this notion that North America (Canada) is all dandy and negativity-free. I'm from the Caribbean I've been to Canada in 2019. Yes, racism is very subtle there, don't be fooled by the Santa Claus or Mother Mary niceness, lol.
It's the too much niceness that I do not appreciate, I mean if you don't like me don't pretend lol. I'm such a realist
@@AkotTV1 Canada there alot racism here especially here in the G.T.A Alot of it is very open especially in the Area of renting coming from Indians,Asians etc.
@@johnblackmen8214 sad 😔 indeed
@@AkotTV1 it was so bad that a Indian women from the Toronto star did a documentary about brown complicty in white surpremecy and Chinese reporter said that anti black racism is not uncommon in Asian Canadian Communities.Canada the subtle racism is alot worst than us because you don't know what these people are thinking about you at least In Australia and the USA people tell you what they think.People here are also very rude and anti social.
@@johnblackmen8214 sometimes I wonder, it's better when you know who your enemy is but if your enemy poses and looks like an angel, then it's very difficult
U are the 3rd to bring out these points. I actually have removed Canada on my list
Daniel please don't, this video is for educational purposes and not to discourage. Everyone has a different story and you never know how your story may turn out. Keep Canada in the list
@@AkotTV1 i agree its for educational purposes n its exactly why canada is no longer top of my list. It is still on my list but not top of the list.
Same here ooo.
I no dey go again
This is exactly how I feel about the US (except that the weather is more clement in much of the US).
Wow, it's never easy, but we keep pushing
Very objective video.
🥰
You're so on point..lol
Thank you he he
Nigeria we pay tax but you can't see the effect of the taxes we pay instead it ends in some peoples pocket.so Canada is still far far better cos the system is working.
I totally agree with you, it's the same for many other African countries
Agreed, Im from México and I rather cold and hight taxes, than this violence and injustice in my Country.
The current government is wasting a lot of tax money, hence the inflation and high taxes
I like ur sincerity, thank you so much
Yeah sure 🥰
Woman...you are hilarious 😂😂😂 and you are very educative. Keep on.
Thank you 🙏 🥰
I agree with you on your all points about jobs, racism, cold, and loneliness. By the way, I am also brown chocolate and I love chocolate. :)
Chocolate 🍫 tastes good - always
Gal has it nailed! My family has been in the Ottawa Valley (originally from Ireland) since 1825. I've watched this place turn more into a Welfare/Nanny-state since 1964. Taxes are too high so there is a Thriving cash underground that is constant. Voters (western countries) now think that wage disparity is more important than "risk/reward". 62% of Americans want to start a business compared to 25% of Canadians. . . THIS should give an understanding on where the Canadian mindset is about Taxing the hand that feeds you. The cold weather just makes you stronger and indifferent about it. I applaud immigrants that come here to start businesses and families. Good video.
Aaawww thank you David 🥰
Thanks for the advice sweetheart. All countries in the West are all the same. Canada to Europe and Australia same bucket 👍🥰
Don't let this video discourage you though, a begg 😅please
How little you know. Australia has great healthcare, great climate,extremely low unemployment, great education, opportunities for everyone,low crime,always at the top or near the top of quality of life index. Sydney for eg 40% of its population were born overseas so don’t even bother trying the race card.
Thanks for enlightening me dear

@@idowuolaoluwa1548 lol no, unlike other countries it's not easy to get here ... These lots of formalities and procedures to follow
You are not kidding. The "unofficial" tax rate is 35% on earnings and 200% on energy. Nobody has any chance of getting ahead. You may survive, but you will be miserable. Also your story about racism may be true if the owner is over 80. Most of the jobs here are taking care of the extremely old folks that have lost their mind, but to be honest it is rare for anyone else. On the other side I heard of a landlord who had a rental on the 33rd floor that the family in it planted a garden in the bedroom and flooded the entire building. That "custom" may drive some jadedness, no question
Eeeehehe 🤣you have made my day lol. I love you for free
Great video! Thank you for your insights!
You welcome love
Gooday madam Akot,thanks for the information,really appreciate
You welcome 🙏
The TRUTH is, Canada is suffering right now. Canada is not desperate. That's why you have to pull your own weight and pay your dues when you get here. The TRUTH is, Canada is the best country IN THE WORLD! Only a fool would leave not seeing the long-term prospects for prosperity.
Very well said
@Akot TV thank you. As a true and true Canadian, I really appreciate how often you took time to qualify your statements about the current various climates (political, health & wellness, taxes, weather, etc). Shows me that you are considering things from all perspectives with no intent to decieve or deter anyone from coming to their own conclusions. Thank you again for the thought provoking video.

Everyone will have their own personal experiences, roads and outcomes but if people ask me I tell them Canada is not a good place to immigrate to in 2022. One of the reasons for the loneliness is that Canada is a kind of 'work camp' and everyone is only thinking about jobs, not losing their job, earning money, getting extra hours and where they are going to live if they can get an extra job. So consequently, its very rare any Canadian people have the same free time at the same time to get together. Anyway, it's good to let people know there are reasons to NOT try and move to Canada at the moment.
I absolutely 💯 agree with you
Thanks for advising. Which country to migrate with some job vaccant visa
I love your vibes.
I love the fact that you are here. Thank you

Family settled Vancouver arriving in 1891. I have travelled extensively. Canada is a horrid place to live now. Selfish, arrogant, ever polite sheep like people. High debt, high taxes, brainwashing Big Papa Govt. No culture. Feminized men, and masculine women. Rude co-workers. Petty and selfish. After five years here in Canada you will be able to count true friends on one finger. I spent the last 12 years working in Haiti, volunteering. Returning to Canada is like reentering a bad dystopian horror movie.

Immigration in Canada is an absolute business.
Bring in highly skilled and educated immigrants with their money to work for them and pay taxes to supply their social programs.
It is what it is, thriving business
Not to mention not accepting any of your school credits from elsewhere

I now know what to expect.
What worries me is the winter part...
So do they have summer at some point?
Yes though if you are coming from a tropical country like Kenya, you will still feel cold 🥶
Yes, absolutely. Most major cities in Canada are near the US border. It's very cold from about December to mid-March (anywhere from 0 to -30 degrees Celsius on average). Lots of rain in April, and it gradually gets warmer. Warmest time is mid-June to late August (summers DO get very hot here - average high probably 30 degrees Celsius). Sept, Oct, November getting chillier, but a lovely time of year. But the further north you go, yes, longer winters, shorter summers, for sure.

I entreat to say I have enjoyed your enlightenment program, which is a real showcase down here in these countries. I totally agree with you on all cases you have mentioned why they leave. They robbed Africans many years and that’s why we can’t also blame our African leaders for not developing Africa so quick. These people are merciless with taxes especially, other factors we would bear to endure at least. God bless my young beautiful girl, have enjoyed your program

i do come around in january for studies.

I am getting the impression that unless you are born rich immigrant, or fleeing for your life from another place, it is basically unlivable country for immigrants. Heard this, not just from this video but from lots and lots of other TH-camrs as well.
To be honest, I'd rather be in Canada a thousand times than my home country. It's much better here
I'm really getting confused now. So which do you think is the good country to immigrate to?
Hmm..Canada needs immigrants and still cost of living is so high i dont find any logic to this.
Me too, I don't get it
It is United Nations and George Soros who claim Canada needs more immigrants. The Canadian Government signed contracts to accept millions of people from all over the world. The reality is 10M jobs in North America will be replaced with AI...soon.
They new educated degree holder cooks, waiters and janitors and taxi drivers for their tax pool.
Thank you so much for this video this video really opened my eyes more and more and beginning to appreciate where i am more and more .I have heard some of these things before i think Canada is overated .
No country is perfect, don't be scared or concerned because of this. I love it here because it's hard in my country. I prefer here
@@AkotTV1 Good for you but i wont trade my country for anywhere else more over i work in Oil and gas in my country here in Africa so i cant complain i only go abroad for training,visit and upgrade courses have visited nearly all the countries in Europe,Asia,middle East and i also visited the United states last year am not against people moving abroad for better opportunities but for as for me have been so blessed right here in Africa.

Hospital and education is free from primary to university?
University you pay but very affordable if you are a resident
i dont understand why people from india, nigeria, pakistan want to stay in western country rather than go back and build their home country...
Only the person who wears the shoe can tell how it feels
I love this country but I'm getting constantly more concerned because Trudeau is screwing it up, I left home because of corruption but the corruption is rapidly sipping into this government. I want to remain in here I have a lot of friends and a comunity, the only thing that is worrisome is the corruption that is festering in the government which may destroy it. I pray that the country does not rot as my home country did.
Let's just hope for the best

@@AkotTV1 and the only time I saw this country in such bad posture was at that time when I arrived. But then I was a student on a grant and didn't care too much, though I could see people around me crushed by the economic situation. Plus at that time there was still an independent press in Canada whose work helped correct the situation within a couple of years, but now this is no longer the case they are owned by the federal government. I don't see much hope and I am too old to take a chance on waiting, when I have better options.
