@@MrK.A so what? Usually an expat works and lives and is an asset to the place they live in. They are usually not a burden and are an asset. That’s the key difference. This guy can go back to Africa if Canada is so bad. They don’t want or need you.
@@akubuirocharles3390this is a lovely report. I wish him all the best but Africa would have remained the best but we have wicked and disgusting leaders
Don't leave if you have something solid back home Don't leave if you don't have a clear defined plan of what you're doing and the journey ahead, if you can't see your plan years ahead when you relocate please don't. Leave if you're willing to endure a few hardship at first cause it gets better very fast. Leave if you really have zero prospects back home and you don't see that changing and you have the means to leave. My take
Hey man the later sounds like me, I’ve come across the opportunity to leave Nigeria but I’m scared of making the wrong choice. I would appreciate it if you could tell me more about life in Canada so I know what I’m signing up for
Its easy to say if you have property or wealth Dont come to Canada but very hard to get immigration for Canada and it take lot of money only very Rich people can come here
@@dennisnnoromCanada have quality of life but no saving here life is boring lonely here is life security fresh environment medical free education free parks food is cheap justice but make some friends in canada and don't get into trap of loan credit cards car loan house mortgage stay away from these things
I agree in his case he was already making good money , also owning 3 cars ,he didn’t need to leave Nigeria since he was doing well in there ,you will always be disappointed if you were doing well in one country already and you decided to leave start again in a different country .
@@dennisnnorom hey man. Well I don't live in Canada again I moved to the UK to work and be closer to family. I can tell you these truths you'll have social and physical security when you just land. Financial security will come later. You'll have more organisation in your life and if you're serious you'll get alot of things done in a short while. Now I'm talking from my experience as a young single man with a family which is OK, I don't send money to anyone. They're other benefits like healthcare, 247 everyday utilities and an overwhelming presence of governance. There use to be an abundance of employment when I was there, but I see people on this comment section saying its not the case now. Like I said before if you have something great ie you can afford to have constant electricity, live in a good area with security, afford to have access to clean water and your children can go to world standard schools then stay otherwise park and leave. It'll be hard but it'll get better, the system will make you in no time and if you're a Nigerian like me you know we're survivors
It's simple logic, if you doing well in your country, there isn't any need permanently relocating abroad, i am doing better here in Nigeria, though the inflation is choking but I could still pull forward day by day and my environment is one that keeps my sanity intact. Even when I am broke or sales are stagnant I could fall back on other things, even when there is no money to eat i can eat from my landladys house or travel back home, the community enables you to prosper and the empathy of people, how we care for ourselves is really soothing.
@@esthersbucketlist my dear the grass is greener where you water it, I almost traveled abroad few years back, but I just Said to myself what if I use this money that my parents gave to me, start up something and in few years it would grow. That is what I have been doing so far , as for traveling it's for vacation and I love traveling around Nigeria and Africa.

I REPEAT DONT GO ITS A TRAP. LISTEN TO YOUR BROTHER.
I went to Canada get my citizenship and then moved back home for some of those same reasons. Life is easier and better home. I didnot sell anything b4 going to Canada and dont care who thi k i should nor returned. Been there done that. Doing extremely great now.
He is STUCK! Deep down inside of him he knows he has made a great mistake! Unfortunately, like many of the well established ones who left Nigeria due to colonial mentality, they are unable to return. They have sold off everything and some even borrowed to depart from Nigeria. There was a report last week about Nigerian immigrants living off food donations in the UK because they were stuck! That’s good for them, I meant those who were doing well but chose to leave everything behind due to inferiority mindset.
It is for a short time. Things will get better for him overtime. I am talking from experience of mine and many many others. We came here struggling and some moments of regrets too. But today, we are all in the 6-figure lives and we are so grateful to God for that. Nigeria could not have afforded us that except through corruption. Not to talk of the relative peace of mind of Canada. @@Moabayi-yf6ul
That's good for them? You are here laughing over people's misfortune but I'm sure yours is worse. At least he was brave enough to chase his dreams. While you are hating, he would make it over there regardless of what you think of his situation. He already stated it in the interview, he is doing it for his kids. Matter of fact and the funny thing is his kids stand a better chance at quality of life than yours. Stop hating and if you don't have a good thing to say, just move on.
If he relocated back home after his experience in Canada, I would agree with him. Thats not the case. He is "sticking around for his kids". Let him encourage others to come for the sake of their families as well.
Thank you for saying that. A lot of the people that say these kinds of things about the country, are mostly always still there. If it’s not as good than maybe you should just leave… I honestly don’t listen to these videos anymore because 9/10 will still stay in that “difficult” country
It’s because they are already deeply invested. It’s true that Canada is not what it seems like. It’s hard and if you feel you can endure then please make the decision to relocate. Just remember it’s very difficult so you can prepare yourself mentally. Everything he mentioned is true including the racism part.
@@yeasurenaomipermit me to tell you something you’re yet to know and understand. Most Immigrants live hand to mouth and hoping their story changes. The hardest part of it all is you CAN’T leave because you can barely afford a new life back home. This isn’t something that can be explained to people, it’s an experience you learn from first class.
I moved to Canada in the early 2000s as a young single lady. I had zero responsibilities or commitments to anyone back home, my expectations were not high, and i was on a journey. Canada is good when you immigrate on your own and have nothing to loose back home meaning no properties etc. I enjoyed living in Canada. Of course challenges will always be there but i always found a way out of them. I will forever be greatful to Canada.😊
@ibehmiracle4011 he only spoke based on his own experience. I hope you noticed that. And flourish spoke on her experience. Probably you have experienced the greater success of immigrating and your experience should be respected when told. Everyone has a different story to tell.
@mellejayneir838 Absolutely, we all have different experiences. This is why it breaks my heart when people immigrate and do not get a good experience. I hope this man's children, on the other hand, get a good experience.
@@ibehmiracle4011Some of you only listen to have a combative response. Your minds have been programmed to hear and see things wrongly. Don't mind some people how?? Did this lady dispute what was said? Read to understand!
My people, the best time to relocate to any country is in your early 20s or even as a teenager. If you do it at a later age with a family, your experience will be very different
@@Gracieevxi You don't have the responsibility of taking care of a family so you can take your time to explore, find your place in the society before settling down. When you're older, you're more risk adverse because you have more to lose so you'll scramble for anything thrown your way just to pay bills.
I moved here towards the end of 1999,and my older brother moved here early 2000. He was already established back home,while I moved here from my university. He went back after six months,came back after six month to spend another six month. He left and have not returned since then. He found out it was better for him over there. I on the other hand, was studying for my engineering; so it was better for me to stay. If you are already established where you are, I will advise you travel abroad for vacations, but don't sell all you have thinking you are travelling to paradise. I will say, travel for your own education or your children's education sake, for peace sake,for medical sake; outside of those, it might not be worth it.
I have a Adopted son who is nigerian. When I went to nigeria,he asked if he can come to to live with me , and he came and stayed with me for 3 years . I put him through nurses aide training , and he got a job and after 9 years he is going back home to visit his father, mother , siblings , and friends . I get so happy for him that I cry . I am so proud of him .
My family and I got permanent residency in Canada back in 2016 and it is true it is not worth it. My spouse and I hold PhDs in Health Services Management and Biomedical Research and were educated and trained in the UK. I was serving as a professor of Biology in my country at that time but Canada wanted me to start over at the bottom as well as my husband despite our proven track record of experience and credentials from accredited British universities. We opted to stay in our home country and today we are far better off and more accomplished at home than we would have been in Canada. The skilled migrant worker program offered by Canada is really for young persons under 30 without families, straight out of unoversity and who are not senior or established in their career. Most notably, we are minorities and felt that we were discriminated against when trying to acquire housing in a surbuban community in Canada and the same was experienced when registering our children for school. Honestly, we did not feel welcomed at all and opted to return home after 8 days in Canada.
He was spot on!!! don't relocate if you have something going on and make sure you have a scholarship.I finished college in Nigeria in 2014 with a degree in Agronomy,i couldn't get a job and felt my degree was trash,got admitted to Tennessee state university with full funding in 2021 for an msc in plant and soil biotechnology.I will be finishing in november with zero debt,some savings and a job waiting for me in one of the biggest biotech companies here.Leave if you have a solid plan because trust me it gets better fast!
@@be_enchanted Don't mind them. Most Nigerians are suffering below poverty level. Insecurity kills them like flies. Yet they dare open their mouths to run down countries thay accepted and gave them jobs. There is no basis for comparison. If you work in some Wester nations you are better off. If you want to go back home, give yourself a 10 or 20 year plan. Work, earn, save, then go back home with enough money and investments. Simple.
You guys need to understand that it’s not always easy to return home immediately because once’s you get here you’re trapped. Don’t forget that we sell our things back home sometimes and have destroyed everything and coming home without having saved up anything to come and start all over is not nice, Stop just saying come back come back
@esthersbucketlist you're so correct. Its a big sacrifice people make when they move abroad and something that cannot be easily reversed. People won't understand unless they go through it themselves.
@@kaizabi yes and when you tell people back home what it’s like they think you’re trying to prevent them from coming, me if I knew what I know now I would have stayed home
@@richarddavid4897 It also needs less corruption, basic infrastructure, and less violence. At least keep the power on consistently in the major cities, put in some traffic lights, pave the roads, etc. I've been to Nairaland and dated a Hausa lady, and no comparison exists between Canada and Nigeria. I will leave you to decide which country is better...
Great interview. I however want to differ on the point that working in Nigeria is more relaxed. That's one of the reasons our economy is as poor as it is I was sitting in front of a doctor few days ago in Lagos and for most part he was pressing his phone. He did not as much as looked at the results of the investigations he requested When it is time to work, ensure that you work The Bible says that the earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof. May God's presence abide with us anywhere we are
Africa is a good place a rich continent even without working out ourselves to death..the only problem we have in Africa is our resources does not benefit us but a few people.
You are absolutely right. People don't understand that all these advanced countries are progressing because of work they are putting into their job. But we in Africa always complain about working. We should stop complaining about things not working well in Africa
It is complete madness to sell everything you have if you’re established. Moving back to Nigeria has been the best decision of my life, the money I earn here can’t be compared to when I was still in cooperate America. And I have so much left to save.
There are clean ways of making money in Nigeria. You won't appreciate Nigeria until you Japa. I am planning relocating back to my country in a couple of years . You made the right choice.
First off i thank my colleague for his frankness in narrating his experience. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable. I believe his account is balanced and frank ,even though each immigrant will have their own story to tell. Everyone is encouraged to pursue their dreams just know that sometimes it takes more than we are prepared for. More grace and strength to everyone in this boat; thank you for making this video !
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Expert Mrs Lucy Mary Liam.
It's a miracle and I would testify, 110k bucks. every 4 weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.

I've been looking for this content. I was thinking of applying for a job and moving to Canada. But to be honest my heart is here in Africa. Africa has so much potential to be honest. It's just the mindset we need to change. Thanks for the video.
I was desperate to come to the West about 20 years ago. After being here for that long, I am now thinking of how to integrate myself back into the African society. There is never a place like home.
"For the sake of my children"...I used to say that and now I regret the day I brought them to this country. They came as Canadian citizens, but I truly felt like opportunities here would be better than back home. Having come from a place where people come in different shades of black, they were forced to become colour conscious, right of the bat (mainly from the East Indians, with this Brown ppl and Black ppl division). The indoctrination at school, the subpar elementary and secondary school system. Then came the social anxiety and depression; the panic attacks and other mental health issues that are RARE in our home countries. I watch them go from confident, outgoing children, full of potential, to just trying to survive. There is no enjoyment in life again. It's work to live. Live to work. We had a good life back home. This is one time in life I wish I could turn back the hands of time.
Thanks for your honesty. The indoctrination and devalued education system is real. I pray you and your children overcome the challenges and thrive. God bless you.❤❤
I was 19 when i moved to canada and i would agree with you I came back to nigeria 🇳🇬 and i was happy Although now I would still go back to canada but would i would be more strategic as i am now wiser ❤
Thank you so much for your honesty. The younger African children go through a hard time trying to get accepted. It takes a toll on their mental health. Some of the effects are permanent. I prefer Nigeria for younger children. They can live in Canada when they are mature and more confident.
This video serves as a valuable eye-opener to the realities of life in the diaspora. It's crucial that we share these experiences not to discourage those back home, but to create a bridge of understanding. Living abroad presents its own set of challenges, and it's important for us to acknowledge them. Let's use this awareness to foster empathy, support, and unity among all of us, no matter where we are in the world. 🌍🤝 #DiasporaInsights #UnityInChallenges
Thank you! It’s the understanding that counts, when people here can truthfully give their experiences and not being criticised for it too, or not being accused of not wanting anyone else to come over. Or being told “Why don’t you come back” etc
@@notoriousj_ Thank you for your perspective. It's essential to work towards positive change in our home countries, and many of us in the diaspora are actively involved in various initiatives to do just that. However, living abroad also presents its own set of challenges and opportunities. By sharing our experiences and challenges here, we aim to foster a deeper understanding between those back home and those in the diaspora. This can lead to collaborations, investments, and support that benefit our home countries as well. It's not an 'either-or' situation; rather, it's about building bridges and creating positive change both here and back home. 🌍🤝 #UnityInAction
@@BuildingDreamsAfrica If you are concerned about you home county you will not be happy because you have chosen not to integrate but simply see Canada as a place to be mined. The resentment that immigrants may encounter is due to this attitude. You either become one of us, whereby your loyalty is to Canada not your country of origin or you're a fake paper "Canadian". Your efforts should be directed at improving life in Canada for all Canadians, not just your specific group within Canada much less on your country of origin.

They told me that Turkey is cheaper also rent in turkey is way cheap even living in a better apartment close to sea with big rooms.
Don’t just call out stuff. Bring numbers let’s see A doctor making 10k a month 4k taxes taken our monthly. Bringing home 6k is that not good money.

Hope Canadian govt watches this video n kicks this black guy by deporting him back to his poverty stricken country. All ppl who talk against the host country shld be kicked out . Also the anchor whos an immigrant never bad mouthed abt Canada bcz he knows the consequences
He is spot on Most of us came because of family. My family has been in Canada for the past 9 years, I was visiting 2x a year, had an awesome job back home in Nigeria. I had to make the tough call to join my family because I was losing them, especially my kids. Having experienced love, growing up in a loving family, and with the passing away of my Father, I took the leap of faith. God has been faithful though, yes, the system takes back all you've worked for. At the end of the day, it's all about the kids 😊
@@Moabayi-yf6ul There is always the God factor, but if you don't put in the work, create the right environment, then you probably would not to get it right.

Nice work, Kaizabi. You hit jackpot with this video. This give you an idea what people are looking to watch. Find more successful Nigerian/African immigrants and interview them along the same lines. Keep it up!
I’m Nigerian and I’ve been living in Canada for some years And I 1000% love it. I don’t know their own but I loved all my jobs that I did in Canada they were so fun my coworkers were also fun and nice to be around. I’ve never been discriminated against even once.
I was born and raised in Canada and have not lived anywhere else. Have lived in 2 different provinces as an adult. If you think you have never been discriminated against, it's because you didn't recognize when it was happening. As a minority, you cannot escape discrimination in Canada.
@@Wesley_Hawkins can you shut the fuck up, I was born in Nigeria lived there for 12 years moved to England then moved to Canada. I’ve been living in Canada for 5 years. Life is great.

Nothing but facts! I experience a lot of what this brother went through and I could only imagine how rough it is for someone starting from scratch in this current climate.
Everything he said is a fact.. but the longer you stay, the better you adapt into the system.. For me, the biggest challenge in the Diaspora is loneliness.. but I cushion this by travelling out every 3 months.. There is no bed of rosees anywhere 😊
If loneliness was the only in diaspora or challenge I'd have living abroad..I swear to God it's not a problem for me🤞so long as I can get a decent job and able to save..forget the rest!
If you have a good job and a stable income back home, there is no need to travel overseas. There are very good intl schools in Nigeria and elsewhere to send your kids to if you can pay their fees. However, if you don’t have a good job , relocate to Canada 🇨🇦, US , Europe or Asia if you see an opportunity. It is rewarding to work in Saudi Arabia, China or Japan as a foreigner.
Well said and 100% on point. As an African in management or supervisory roles, expect to work 3x more to be recognized or seen as competent. It's like they doubt and under rate your abilities
@@melmel7011 no they meant that the expectation is the same for everyone in Canada, both for locals and the immigrants. If someone's paying you for your work, you better work and not do anything unrelated during that time.
It's simple, if you're well established or okay back home, stay there. Only come for vacation but if not, relocate and plan for your future. As for me, I'm happy to be in Canada. Thank you Canada and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

I am an immigrant from South Africa here in Edmonton since June of 2023. What the brother is saying is true. Canadians make no room for the human element in the workplace/environment. Everything is based on productivity at the expense of your humanity. They also treat workers as very expendable and disposable. The fact that they import so many foreign workers to do certain jobs is perhaps a reason why born Canadians no longer want to put up with the exploitation (I don't know if this is the true reason though). Canada is very convenient, and public services and infrastructure are amazing compared with South Africa. But the rest of the culture is very sterile. Tim Hortons, Starbucks, and Ice Hockey are considered cultural identities. Maybe the older generations had a distinctive culture, but most Canadians of today's are only interested in consumerism and the car lifestyle. If you are looking for people with warmth and depth, you will most likely find it with fellow immigrants (and maybe the poor and marginalized communities of Canada). Canada is a very safe country, and South Africa may not be worth it for me to return to. But the strongest element I thought for coming to Canada was that people here appreciated life and each other. This is not true. Canada is 'stable and happy' because the people are intoxicated by the comfort that material wealth provides the individual (despite all their complaints and problems, most Canadians still lead very comfortable and easy lives). Take away their comfort and materialism, and they won't know who they are. They won't know how to stand together either since they have been so strongly conditioned to live for themselves as individuals. Canadians are known for their politeness and friendliness, and this is true. But there is a big difference between politeness and kindness (and being genuine). Canadians are not kind. My opinion is obviously limited and biased. I am sure there are wonderful and pleasant exceptions. But I will still limit these as exceptions. Think hard before choosing Canada (and perhaps also the USA). Unless you have a strong community to support you here, it will be a lonely and alienating experience.
Holly sh*t you sure you haven't been here longer? you're spot on, on everything. To answer your question if the 'older generation perhaps had a distinctive culture'. Well I've been here since 1996 and let me tell you, they didn't. They breathed and lived on a stable job and looked forward to the day they retired so they can move to Florida or to a cheaper apartment and enjoyed their "golden years" that was the promise. If you get a chance speak to the boomers (senior citizens) and you'll see what I'm talking about. What they didn't account for was 2008 and that their children/grand children would eat from their nest and that they would need to work longer to support these people. As far as social cohesion, you have it spot on, there was none. When we came there were not enough immigrants for them to be angry at or complain, so we did the receive the best version of 'Canadians" (whatever that term even means) that any immigrant will receive. We were tolerated, polite from a far, a few here and there would even ask where we came from, and make small talk but I always got the sense, do not cross the line, stay in your lane, keep your head down and WORK HARD. In Canada you live to work, so you can buy meaningless sh*t so you can brag to your coworkers and what not (which you also described perfectly). The US is much much different, of course this varies where you go but if you go to the south, anywhere in the worth and north east people are very very very loving and kind. If you can, I would go there in a heartbeat. Comparing US to Canada is not even fair, Americans are a hoot, much friendlier, much louder and more chatty. I made more friends and connections in a week trip to America than years here with locals and as you said, if you want to make connections in Canada, seek out other new immigrants. The locals have inherited the Anglo-Saxon mentality and will look at you like you're lost lol
@@neoreign Yes, people who are successful in Canada value working hard. It's the reason you don't freeze to death, given winter is 6 months long (Toronto is not Canada). Your complaints that Canadians aren't friendly, did you learn to ski, skate, play hockey, camp etc.? Did you volunteer with many of the charitable organizations that thousand of Canadians are involved in? I doubt it, given the stats available. These activities and their families are where most Canadians spend their time outside of work. The contempt in your comments about Canadians & "Anglo-Saxon values" explains your experiences. To be successful in a foreign country one needs to be willing to adapt and integrate. Why go to a country when you clearly do not share those values? You want warm, friendly, party people, then put up with the consequences of a laid-back attitude to work and a less Anglo-Saxon attitude to life, electricity not reliable, water only on certain hours but hey people have time to chat, are friendly and party unlike those up-tight Canadians.
I hope Nigerians should watch this and learn our work ethic in Nigeria is very poor we need to improve they way we work wherever we serve in the country.
I was an immigration consultant up until this June 2023. I stopped as I don’t believe in our immigration system anymore. It is not representative and how the government shows itself to be. I would always question skilled workers that have a great life in their country. I cared more about my clients than taking their money. I guess I don’t fit the mold as the majority of consultants will Try to get as much money from you as possible. Good video

I left Canada last year for these same reasons. Enjoying the best of life in Nigeria now. Life is too short to stay depressed and heavily billed in Canada. Most Canadians are leaving from paycheck to paycheck. Life is slow paced and easier here in Nigeria. Bye bye to Canadians bills, crazy mortgage and skyrocketing food prices.
@@josefelfinito6925many have threaded the same way ,I know of a couple that returned to Ghana after years in UK and another to Gambia after years in US because of Wode Maya's video and started making TH-cam videos of how Africa is the best to live in ,after like 2 years majority have deleted all those African Videos and relocated back .
So everyone is happy in naija and not depressed ? Life in naija is cheap ? School fees, fuel prices for car & gen, food, transport, etc ? People are not living hand to mouth in naija, which is experiencing extreme poverty ? Sis, everything negative you wrote about Canada, People in naija are experiencing it times 10.

Same been in America for over 10 years, money is not a problem but the culture and the lifestyle so difficult, u have money but no happiness, am relocating soon to Africa
This was exactly my experience in China. The country has everything you can imagine to make life easier but the society is robotic and cold (and I'm not talking about the weather)
China itself is a racist country so I’m it surprised. Their own government doesn’t even care about its people so foreigners there unless they white are seen as bad
I am forced to comment on his first response about working for what you are being paid for. Here in Nigeria workers are already used to liaise affair attitude towards their jobs, they really don’t like to do much with their jobs but they want to be paid. Most workers even closes from work before the actual closing time and they are used to always asking for tips for jobs they are being paid for.
Imagine living in snow. It's actually physically painful. No wonder all wealthy Nigerians who can actually afford to relocate have relocated back to Nigeria. Then there are people like this Doctor who can't afford to relocate back to Nigeria.
Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
If you don't find a means of multiplying your money, you will wake up one day and realize that the money you thought you had, had been exhausted. Investment is a ladder to climb the financial wall.
Dr peter is clearly intelligent and honest. So many Canadians will surely not agree with him but so what? some may say," then why not go back to your country, Why stick around?" Not so easy dudes. He has to reap from where he has given so much to. As far as I'm concerned, there are so many canadians elsewhere expecially in the oil rich middle eastern countries and they are reaping the benefit of those countries. Would it be wrong if someone does same in canada? I wish Dr peter could also spread his tentacles to any of the middle eastern countries of his choice, after solidifying his stronghold on canada. The globe is fast becoming both an inter and intra national economic hub. Every right thinking person needs to take avantage of this. Visa restrictions needs to be limited extensively. In Africa we have so many canadian investors and expatriates enjoying the benefits of their host countries and why not? Are we not all citizens of the earth? So much for biases, prejudice, bigotry, racism and discriminations in western countries. It's only a matter time though.
Fact the same people who are already angry with what he is saying am sure are struggling to pay their rents or mortgages, they are living from pay check to pay check, but that is what the country does to us, you can't speak truth you disagree with the person but deep down you know it is truth
@@meldawilliams1636 Drug addictions, loneliness, backward racist Canadians, expensive housing, homelessness etc… Canada ain’t worth it. I’ve spent so much money here, I should have used that money to open a business in Africa instead. Now I’m going back to Africa broke with no teeth.
I’m sorry to hear about ur awful experience. Racism is not an easy thing to deal with. Good for us, we got Africa to run back to, we got home. Most Canadians are just stuck where they are. Just wondering, why don’t u have teeth?
People are always complaining about Canada, or USA, or Europe, Australia etc. What did they expect? A land of milk and honey? Immediate success and becoming a millionaire? Cmon. Why not focus on building yourself in your home country and try fixing the problems there?
Africa is becoming great, all of u who left may look for space here. The revolution going on in Africa will make africa a place people will run to. I am loving here. Natural is respected here. Life is easier here. Japa syndrome has landed many into things they couldn't imagine
The worst part the government doesn’t care so long they collect their high tax , they are fine. The discrimination is hidden, I prefer an open one, I have made up my mind to save a little money if that’s will even be possible & move back to Nigeria. You can’t even save, the system takes every thing.
I feel you, in UK no matter how hard you work saving is almost impossible, the bills are high,you have to work extra shifts inorder to have extra to save
Lol. People will not plan before going to UK. The state you live in matters a lot. A state like London is a no go area, it's like Lagos nigeria. You'll suffer ur ass there and save nothing. The wise people are saving money in the same UK you're complaining about.
This is a never ending perennial controversy. I really cannot understand why he bothered to come to Canada, if things are so good at home. Many people send their children over without having to leave Nigeria (for example, politicians) Some people don't do their research or count the costs before they make the leap, the just follow the bandwagon. Canada is good if you are wise. I I share my take on this whole topic on my channel where I talk about moving back to Nigeria and the truth no one told me. To each his own.
Hey Diekola - thanks for your thoughtful comment. I agree with you, people need to make a more informed decision while taking this big leap, or else a lot of problems may arise. But Canada can definitely be a great place. Thanks for stopping by :)
I like the fact that the working time in CANADA is staggered and people know their daily working schedule. This is the reason why these countries are successful. If people in back home in Nigeria understand that the work place is not a mini bar things might be a lot better. I am happy he has integrated into the system despite the systemic discrimination.
Even after you think you've integrated yourself into the system, the racism and discrimination still persist. Racism is part of humanity that will never go away.
Even in our home country, we still get discriminated against in the name of tribalism. Discrimination is everywhere, it's just how you see it and accept it that matters.
Running out of your countries to nice whhyte ones and endless complaining. Why not go to Latin America, Asia or the Middle East?, How about India or Pakistan? I'm sure they would love to have you. Descend on them and complain. The systemic racism in Nigeria toward descendants of slaves, different tribes, people who are darker than others is horrendous. My goodness. Why dont you do something about that there? And the violence, corruption and open sewers! And while you're at it, go put a lei of flowers around the neck of the statue of Madam Tinubu who you honor and look up to. She has an entire square dedicated to her!
I had migrated to Nz 3 months back and i gotta say its the exact opposite of whatever Canada has to offer . There is work life balance here, not much of pressure , the people are easy going and its turning out to be the best decision of my life .All the best to my brothers and sisters trying to make it big..
That One older gentleman was the wrong person to interview on this subject. He is older, has higher education in a field that is highly regulated in Canada and had a stable and conformable situation back home which isn't the case for the majority of immigrants from Nigeria. He is already set in his ways. He should go back to Nigeria and support his kids if they want ti study/immigrate to Canada.
what are you saying? business in Nigeria is not safe you can lose all if you don't try more and the sad truth is this man has to find a way to establish both his firm and future of his children
Its definitely easier when you're younger but Canada does see a lot of immigrants at Peter's age group as well. This video is just to raise awareness on what to expect. Not an aim to discourage people from immigrating.
@@davidosimiri7344 What do you mean by "What are you saying?"? I said it right up there. He himself acknowledged in the interview that he had a stable situation at home, high education, good income and many assets and at the same time and he himself does not recommend to people with a stable situation back home to immigrate to Canada, which is what HE did anyway "for his family". Don't you see the contradiction in all of that?? 🤷♂
People are having problems with the truth or rather the reality of life in Canada when juxtaposed to their fairy tale dreams of snow and an endless flow of Maple sirup. You should have another interview with Peter where he speaks only sweet things. 😂 Topic Suggestion. In Canada with Dr Peter: Positive Vibes Only
They want to enjoy the infrastructure, education, security in Canada without putting in the requisite hard work that make those things possible! They want to behave like they do in Nigeria where a Doctor employed in a Teaching hospital will not report for work or report late and still take his full salary home at the end of the month. They divert patients to their private clinics and rip them off. And they won't even pay tax! Canada is so hard yet he wants to get a Canadian citizenship for himself and children, what an irony! Why did he leave all the good life in Nigeria to relocate in the first place?why?
I also noticed the contradictions in his speech. He sees this specifically from his own perspective and doesn't realize that Canada also has to gain something from him in return. This is the same kind of selfish and conceited way of thinking that led to the forever crisis mode we are in today, with everyone thinking about their own interest and what they can extract from the system and not what they can contribute to it.
Canada has been ridiculously good to me and for me, even as I appreciate that this is not the average experience. I came here 36 years ago, when there were jobs looking for people, and not the other way around. Back then we had the choice to skill up some more or go in full force in careers, which worked for many of us. I can see how tough it would be for new immigrants now, especially professionals who were already established back in Africa not wanting to get re-validated in order to practice here. That is a journey best played out by new engineers, doctors and other crucial professions where they have time on their side and not feel like they are giving up much to start from scratch. Canada is great but each person has to weigh their reason for wanting to be here. If the scales tip this way, then one has to fully commit to the move to make it work. Otherwise, truly look to make that success happen wherever you are ..... Africa, Asia or Australia. It IS possible!
@@ronloc3309 U.K. as a utopia? Good one, but no. I have family who moved there while I came to Canada. Even by their standards, life in UK does not compare to Canada in so many levels. Not saying Canada is perfect. Nowhere is!
All these developed nations sell a false dream. I'm a black South African woman living in Norway, it's exactly the same here. Couple it with the fact that you cannot find work without speaking Norwegian and that Norwegian organizations prefer to hire Norwegians over foreigners.
Yeah!, even as I am born and speak the language like a native you do feel like a second class citizen in Norway. That is why I packed my stuff and headed to South east asia. You come with your money and people respect you and your way of life. You have country like Thailand you can live extremely well for 15 000 - 25 000 kr. You have great infrastucture, banks and healthcare . I think Norway is good for some people. Lets say you are in need of free health care. Or you are coming as a refugee and need support to get your life back on track. But for the average migrant you will be facing alout of hurdles. Plus life is pretty boring there!.
Western countries take refugees from other countries to do their shiiit jobs that their local population won't do and the wages are the lowest putting their physical and mental health at risk. That is the truth.🙏🙏🙏
Living in developed countries especially bigger cities has become a nightmare. Be it new york, toronto, dublin, berlin, auckland and so on...earlier buying was harder...now renting too has become lot harder...
I am from Cameroon, I am an assistant télécommunications engineer since 2016. I had the grace to be recruited by the end of my final year by a foreign company BUT, they are using holes in our labor law in Cameroon. The fact is for 6 years now, I am a temporary worker with monthly renewable contracts even though I am working at the same position for 6 years . The irony being, I barely make 500 usd per month, no salary increase for 5 years and with my wife and kid we can just afford to live day by days. No way for me to save some money. I made the maths: even if I work as a janitor in Canada, I can at least same some money for my child future. I am planning to move to Canada. It will always be better than the Bullshit I am through in my own country
@@donpeltier6059 Cameroonian right here. The minimum wage in Cameroon is about 53 dollars USD per month and the average rent of a one bedroom appartment in a major city is about 32 dollars. Explain me then how can a minimum wage worker in Canada be worse than that. The issues of the privileged people are non everyone's issues
I find he’s Assessment and comparison funny. Especially because I personally consider the Nigerian work culture as “lax” except you work for a foreign company in Nigeria which exposes you to the fast paced work culture in Western countries like Canada. Those of us who work for foreign tech companies will understand what I am saying. My Nigerian doctor brother will get used to it soon. Now you’re REALLY working, unlike what most workers do in Nigeria. Where time is not accounted for.

Brotherly your head is correct let's enjoy our African paradise. Original food, fresh fruits wide wild land mass elephants, buffalo,lions gazelles crocodile. Sweet African bush
I lived in the UK which in not Canada, I know, but I loved it. I am from Cape Town, South Africa. I am Coloured in terms our racial demographics and I must say everyone's experience is different. Only when you in the situation will you know if it is for you. We live through different lenses and views of the world.
@@aliciamomat7963 hence I made the disclaimer of the UK. Point was not about countries but people experiencing life differently and I was not invalidating his experience but just stating that two people from the same country could move to another country and I have a completely different experience.
@@heidiroman2573 Even in the same Canada people view their experiences with different lenses. People have a very think skin. They react to every perceived act of racism. Meanwhile, in Nigeria, the tribes hate each other more than the Europeans discriminate against Africans. In Nigeria, certain national projects are not executed in certain regions because the people in power hate those regions. People are just hypocrites. Nigeria is a case study.
How can you say you “live in the U.K. which is not in Canada” who doesn’t know that United Kingdom and Canada are two different countries. I have knew that as a kid in Africa before moving to the U.K.
In the western world you have to work for your money, in most parts of Africa you're free n most people don't actually work the right way. He gets to work late and takes a 2 /3 hour break. If you like working hard you're welcome, if you are not hard working stay in Africa
Africa unite unite unite unite and stay home.... Paradise Africa is our home..let's bring up our continent and also we chase the colonizers like french etc
Dude, how can you compare the money you make in Nigeria to Canada? The comfort that Canada offers can compare it to Nigeria? How can you have 24 hrs running water,quality medical facilities, security, and quality schools for your kids yet complain about it being expensive. Live in Nigeria,where the water may not be clean,you will have electricity distributed ,big security issues ,schools a mess then. I 've lived in the US for 9 years and have and will never complain because of the simple quality of life I experience. Just the fact I can wake up in the morning and switch the light on,turn the pump on and there's water running, call 911 and there's multiple ambulances outside my door ,go to the hospital even with no money and be treated before the money is brought forth is freaking awesome.
Have you lived in Canada? Why wouldn't you have more money in your pocket In a country you do not pay taxes let alone the astronomical taxation in the West. Sit this one out. Nigerians had it good and still complaining because they're unwilling to fight for their country. Cowards. Admit it- You were poor in Nigeria. You couldn't afford yourself a solar system. That's why ordinary electricity is excites you. Let's see how the US fares for you after 10 more years.
For those that don't understand why he said staying for kids because if you're a Nigerian you will understand the situation at hand safety, you have the money back home but it can't save you when big matters arises no light no good medical equipment your going out n coming always scared of being kidnapped and so on so don't say go back everything he said is correct but in God we trust
@@andersonojoshimite6047 more than 90% of anywhere in Nigeria there is a fear of being kidnapped and no steady eletricity,most people travelling abroad consider their children,they have better opportunities to succeed than Nigeria that the reality,thousands of graduates are churn out yearly with no good paying jobs for them to start their lives comfortably
I appreciate the doctor's openness. He has a lot to offer and i hope his medical accreditations are accepted fully and if not, the process to regularize himself is not too lengthy.
This gentleman is smart, articulate with his analysis of the situation. I echo his comments. If I am doing well in my country I wouldn’t leave- especially Africans and the African Diaspora. I see the horrific atrocities committed against the Africans crossing these borders to get into Europe. It is sad to the point where I said before I leave my country I would rather eat from my land than to come and be dehumanized.
He said nothing but the facts, the racism part he’s absolutely right on that. Canada need to improve the racism. The only thing he forgot to mention is immigrates are racist to each other before white or native.
In Africa they hardly work sit in chairs unconcerned even when patients are calling for attention unlike Canada you will work. Those people that work in Africa puts 10% of work in their daily shifts whilst the 90% is relaxing and flexing around this is the reason why most of these professionals find it hard to cope in Canada. Ghana my Country is not an exception.

What Canadian is moving to Nigeria? No one by choice. Maybe transferred by an oil company.

Don't leave if you have something solid back home
Don't leave if you don't have a clear defined plan of what you're doing and the journey ahead, if you can't see your plan years ahead when you relocate please don't.
Leave if you're willing to endure a few hardship at first cause it gets better very fast.
Leave if you really have zero prospects back home and you don't see that changing and you have the means to leave.
My take
Hey man the later sounds like me, I’ve come across the opportunity to leave Nigeria but I’m scared of making the wrong choice. I would appreciate it if you could tell me more about life in Canada so I know what I’m signing up for
Its easy to say if you have property or wealth Dont come to Canada but very hard to get immigration for Canada and it take lot of money only very Rich people can come here
@@dennisnnoromCanada have quality of life but no saving here life is boring lonely here is life security fresh environment medical free education free parks food is cheap justice but make some friends in canada and don't get into trap of loan credit cards car loan house mortgage stay away from these things
I agree in his case he was already making good money , also owning 3 cars ,he didn’t need to leave Nigeria since he was doing well in there ,you will always be disappointed if you were doing well in one country already and you decided to leave start again in a different country .
@@dennisnnorom hey man. Well I don't live in Canada again I moved to the UK to work and be closer to family. I can tell you these truths you'll have social and physical security when you just land. Financial security will come later. You'll have more organisation in your life and if you're serious you'll get alot of things done in a short while. Now I'm talking from my experience as a young single man with a family which is OK, I don't send money to anyone. They're other benefits like healthcare, 247 everyday utilities and an overwhelming presence of governance.
There use to be an abundance of employment when I was there, but I see people on this comment section saying its not the case now. Like I said before if you have something great ie you can afford to have constant electricity, live in a good area with security, afford to have access to clean water and your children can go to world standard schools then stay otherwise park and leave. It'll be hard but it'll get better, the system will make you in no time and if you're a Nigerian like me you know we're survivors
It's simple logic, if you doing well in your country, there isn't any need permanently relocating abroad, i am doing better here in Nigeria, though the inflation is choking but I could still pull forward day by day and my environment is one that keeps my sanity intact. Even when I am broke or sales are stagnant I could fall back on other things, even when there is no money to eat i can eat from my landladys house or travel back home, the community enables you to prosper and the empathy of people, how we care for ourselves is really soothing.
Amen
@@esthersbucketlist my dear the grass is greener where you water it, I almost traveled abroad few years back, but I just Said to myself what if I use this money that my parents gave to me, start up something and in few years it would grow.

I salute the Nigerian professional for being this open. I don't know how many people are willing to openly discuss their situations in his position.
Definitely its a brave thing to do. Thanks for dropping by
He is STUCK!
Deep down inside of him he knows he has made a great mistake! Unfortunately, like many of the well established ones who left Nigeria due to colonial mentality, they are unable to return. They have sold off everything and some even borrowed to depart from Nigeria. There was a report last week about Nigerian immigrants living off food donations in the UK because they were stuck!
That’s good for them, I meant those who were doing well but chose to leave everything behind due to inferiority mindset.
It is for a short time. Things will get better for him overtime. I am talking from experience of mine and many many others. We came here struggling and some moments of regrets too. But today, we are all in the 6-figure lives and we are so grateful to God for that. Nigeria could not have afforded us that except through corruption. Not to talk of the
relative peace of mind of Canada. @@Moabayi-yf6ul
That's good for them? You are here laughing over people's misfortune but I'm sure yours is worse. At least he was brave enough to chase his dreams. While you are hating, he would make it over there regardless of what you think of his situation.
He already stated it in the interview, he is doing it for his kids. Matter of fact and the funny thing is his kids stand a better chance at quality of life than yours. Stop hating and if you don't have a good thing to say, just move on.
@@Moabayi-yf6ul u are such a sadist
If he relocated back home after his experience in Canada, I would agree with him. Thats not the case. He is "sticking around for his kids". Let him encourage others to come for the sake of their families as well.
Thank you for saying that. A lot of the people that say these kinds of things about the country, are mostly always still there. If it’s not as good than maybe you should just leave…
I honestly don’t listen to these videos anymore because 9/10 will still stay in that “difficult” country
It’s because they are already deeply invested. It’s true that Canada is not what it seems like. It’s hard and if you feel you can endure then please make the decision to relocate. Just remember it’s very difficult so you can prepare yourself mentally. Everything he mentioned is true including the racism part.

I moved here towards the end of 1999,and my older brother moved here early 2000. He was already established back home,while I moved here from my university. He went back after six months,came back after six month to spend another six month. He left and have not returned since then. He found out it was better for him over there. I on the other hand, was studying for my engineering; so it was better for me to stay. If you are already established where you are, I will advise you travel abroad for vacations, but don't sell all you have thinking you are travelling to paradise. I will say, travel for your own education or your children's education sake, for peace sake,for medical sake; outside of those, it might not be worth it.
The only decent jobs for Canadian trained engineers are in the US.
Absolutely!

My family and I got permanent residency in Canada back in 2016 and it is true it is not worth it. My spouse and I hold PhDs in Health Services Management and Biomedical Research and were educated and trained in the UK. I was serving as a professor of Biology in my country at that time but Canada wanted me to start over at the bottom as well as my husband despite our proven track record of experience and credentials from accredited British universities. We opted to stay in our home country and today we are far better off and more accomplished at home than we would have been in Canada. The skilled migrant worker program offered by Canada is really for young persons under 30 without families, straight out of unoversity and who are not senior or established in their career. Most notably, we are minorities and felt that we were discriminated against when trying to acquire housing in a surbuban community in Canada and the same was experienced when registering our children for school. Honestly, we did not feel welcomed at all and opted to return home after 8 days in Canada.

@@be_enchanted Don't mind them. Most Nigerians are suffering below poverty level. Insecurity kills them like flies. Yet they dare open their mouths to run down countries thay accepted and gave them jobs. There is no basis for comparison. If you work in some Wester nations you are better off. If you want to go back home, give yourself a 10 or 20 year plan. Work, earn, save, then go back home with enough money and investments. Simple.
You guys need to understand that it’s not always easy to return home immediately because once’s you get here you’re trapped. Don’t forget that we sell our things back home sometimes and have destroyed everything and coming home without having saved up anything to come and start all over is not nice,
Stop just saying come back come back

Great interview. I however want to differ on the point that working in Nigeria is more relaxed. That's one of the reasons our economy is as poor as it is
I was sitting in front of a doctor few days ago in Lagos and for most part he was pressing his phone. He did not as much as looked at the results of the investigations he requested
When it is time to work, ensure that you work
The Bible says that the earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof. May God's presence abide with us anywhere we are
Africa is a good place a rich continent even without working out ourselves to death..the only problem we have in Africa is our resources does not benefit us but a few people.
You are absolutely right. People don't understand that all these advanced countries are progressing because of work they are putting into their job. But we in Africa always complain about working. We should stop complaining about things not working well in Africa
It is complete madness to sell everything you have if you’re established. Moving back to Nigeria has been the best decision of my life, the money I earn here can’t be compared to when I was still in cooperate America. And I have so much left to save.
What industry do you work in?
This varies for different industries
If I may ask. How many years did you live in America and what industry did you work in?
There are clean ways of making money in Nigeria. You won't appreciate Nigeria until you Japa. I am planning relocating back to my country in a couple of years .

I was desperate to come to the West about 20 years ago. After being here for that long, I am now thinking of how to integrate myself back into the African society. There is never a place like home.
I'm just like you.
"For the sake of my children"...I used to say that and now I regret the day I brought them to this country. They came as Canadian citizens, but I truly felt like opportunities here would be better than back home. Having come from a place where people come in different shades of black, they were forced to become colour conscious, right of the bat (mainly from the East Indians, with this Brown ppl and Black ppl division). The indoctrination at school, the subpar elementary and secondary school system. Then came the social anxiety and depression; the panic attacks and other mental health issues that are RARE in our home countries. I watch them go from confident, outgoing children, full of potential, to just trying to survive. There is no enjoyment in life again. It's work to live. Live to work. We had a good life back home. This is one time in life I wish I could turn back the hands of time.
Thanks for your honesty. The indoctrination and devalued education system is real.
I pray you and your children overcome the challenges and thrive.
God bless you.❤❤

This video serves as a valuable eye-opener to the realities of life in the diaspora. It's crucial that we share these experiences not to discourage those back home, but to create a bridge of understanding. Living abroad presents its own set of challenges, and it's important for us to acknowledge them. Let's use this awareness to foster empathy, support, and unity among all of us, no matter where we are in the world. 🌍🤝 #DiasporaInsights #UnityInChallenges
Thank you! It’s the understanding that counts, when people here can truthfully give their experiences and not being criticised for it too, or not being accused of not wanting anyone else to come over. Or being told “Why don’t you come back” etc
Well said.
Why not address the issues in your home country and work towards fixing it?
@@notoriousj_ Thank you for your perspective. It's essential to work towards positive change in our home countries, and many of us in the diaspora are actively involved in various initiatives to do just that. However, living abroad also presents its own set of challenges and opportunities. By sharing our experiences and challenges here, we aim to foster a deeper understanding between those back home and those in the diaspora. This can lead to collaborations, investments, and support that benefit our home countries as well. It's not an 'either-or' situation; rather, it's about building bridges and creating positive change both here and back home. 🌍🤝 #UnityInAction
@@BuildingDreamsAfrica If you are concerned about you home county you will not be happy because you have chosen not to integrate but simply see Canada as a place to be mined.

They’re well educated while living in Canada but left because of high cost of tax and livin. They told me that Turkey is cheaper also rent in turkey is way cheap even living in a better apartment close to sea with big rooms.

He’s very right. Doctors flex in Nigeria but it’s not possible here in Canada for them. The more money you make, the bigger your tax.
So are nurses too 22 hrs on your feet, too much taxes , over documentation, and for the racism he said it all
The days of "doctor flex in Nigeria" ended 10years ago
Doctors are grossly underpaid in Nigeria.
Don’t just call out stuff. Bring numbers let’s see
A doctor making 10k a month 4k taxes taken our monthly. Bringing home 6k is that not good money.
See many people sometimes have poor financial planning.
Someone making 6k buys a big house and a very expensive car would end up with nothing every month.

He is spot on
Most of us came because of family.
My family has been in Canada for the past 9 years, I was visiting 2x a year, had an awesome job back home in Nigeria.
I had to make the tough call to join my family because I was losing them, especially my kids. Having experienced love, growing up in a loving family, and with the passing away of my Father, I took the leap of faith.
God has been faithful though, yes, the system takes back all you've worked for.
At the end of the day, it's all about the kids 😊
Only God determines which kids will do well in life; not Canada.
@@Moabayi-yf6ul There is always the God factor, but if you don't put in the work, create the right environment, then you probably would not to get it right. Because you might as well be a deadbeat dad/mum and allow God do your work.

If you came for the country, then the country's definitely better than home.
Very honest opinion. I have been to over 10 countries globally... When it comes to migration, you must approach it with clarity and objectivity.
Everyone must evaluate their personal circumstances before making this decision.

I think u are one of the lucky ones😊
I was born and raised in Canada and have not lived anywhere else. Have lived in 2 different provinces as an adult. If you think you have never been discriminated against, it's because you didn't recognize when it was happening. As a minority, you cannot escape discrimination in Canada.

If you have a good job and a stable income back home, there is no need to travel overseas. There are very good intl schools in Nigeria and elsewhere to send your kids to if you can pay their fees. However, if you don’t have a good job , relocate to Canada 🇨🇦, US , Europe or Asia if you see an opportunity. It is rewarding to work in Saudi Arabia, China or Japan as a foreigner.

@@kinara5365 But he was very stable back home. Let him come back
I am an immigrant from South Africa here in Edmonton since June of 2023. What the brother is saying is true. Canadians make no room for the human element in the workplace/environment. Everything is based on productivity at the expense of your humanity. They also treat workers as very expendable and disposable. The fact that they import so many foreign workers to do certain jobs is perhaps a reason why born Canadians no longer want to put up with the exploitation (I don't know if this is the true reason though).
Canada is very convenient, and public services and infrastructure are amazing compared with South Africa. But the rest of the culture is very sterile. Tim Hortons, Starbucks, and Ice Hockey are considered cultural identities. Maybe the older generations had a distinctive culture, but most Canadians of today's are only interested in consumerism and the car lifestyle. If you are looking for people with warmth and depth, you will most likely find it with fellow immigrants (and maybe the poor and marginalized communities of Canada).
Canada is a very safe country, and South Africa may not be worth it for me to return to. But the strongest element I thought for coming to Canada was that people here appreciated life and each other. This is not true. Canada is 'stable and happy' because the people are intoxicated by the comfort that material wealth provides the individual (despite all their complaints and problems, most Canadians still lead very comfortable and easy lives). Take away their comfort and materialism, and they won't know who they are. They won't know how to stand together either since they have been so strongly conditioned to live for themselves as individuals.
Canadians are known for their politeness and friendliness, and this is true. But there is a big difference between politeness and kindness (and being genuine). Canadians are not kind.
My opinion is obviously limited and biased. I am sure there are wonderful and pleasant exceptions. But I will still limit these as exceptions.
Think hard before choosing Canada (and perhaps also the USA). Unless you have a strong community to support you here, it will be a lonely and alienating experience.
Holly sh*t you sure you haven't been here longer? you're spot on, on everything. To answer your question if the 'older generation perhaps had a distinctive culture'. Well I've been here since 1996 and let me tell you, they didn't. They breathed and lived on a stable job and looked forward to the day they retired so they can move to Florida or to a cheaper apartment and enjoyed their "golden years" that was the promise. If you get a chance speak to the boomers (senior citizens) and you'll see what I'm talking about. What they didn't account for was 2008 and that their children/grand children would eat from their nest and that they would need to work longer to support these people.
As far as social cohesion, you have it spot on, there was none. When we came there were not enough immigrants for them to be angry at or complain, so we did the receive the best version of 'Canadians" (whatever that term even means) that any immigrant will receive. We were tolerated, polite from a far, a few here and there would even ask where we came from, and make small talk but I always got the sense, do not cross the line, stay in your lane, keep your head down and WORK HARD. In Canada you live to work, so you can buy meaningless sh*t so you can brag to your coworkers and what not (which you also described perfectly).
The US is much much different, of course this varies where you go but if you go to the south, anywhere in the worth and north east people are very very very loving and kind. If you can, I would go there in a heartbeat. Comparing US to Canada is not even fair, Americans are a hoot, much friendlier, much louder and more chatty. I made more friends and connections in a week trip to America than years here with locals and as you said, if you want to make connections in Canada, seek out other new immigrants. The locals have inherited the Anglo-Saxon mentality and will look at you like you're lost lol
My goodness you guys are telling things I’ve noticed for years. Fellow African immigrant that wants to go back.
@@neoreign Yes, people who are successful in Canada value working hard. It's the reason you don't freeze to death, given winter is 6 months long (Toronto is not Canada). Your complaints that Canadians aren't friendly, did you learn to ski, skate, play hockey, camp etc.? Did you volunteer with many of the charitable organizations that thousand of Canadians are involved in? I doubt it, given the stats available. These activities and their families are where most Canadians spend their time outside of work. The contempt in your comments about Canadians & "Anglo-Saxon values" explains your experiences. To be successful in a foreign country one needs to be willing to adapt and integrate. Why go to a country when you clearly do not share those values? You want warm, friendly, party people, then put up with the consequences of a laid-back attitude to work and a less Anglo-Saxon attitude to life, electricity not reliable, water only on certain hours but hey people have time to chat, are friendly and party unlike those up-tight Canadians.
I am from Canada 🇨🇦 and he is right. This is something , suffered with living in Canada 🇨🇦. People hardly enjoys there money here in Canada.

When the government don't encourage people to work?, especially when they owe salary for months..Nigeria needs a structural exorcism
I was an immigration consultant up until this June 2023. I stopped as I don’t believe in our immigration system anymore. It is not representative and how the government shows itself to be. I would always question skilled workers that have a great life in their country. I cared more about my clients than taking their money. I guess I don’t fit the mold as the majority of consultants will Try to get as much money from you as possible. Good video

China itself is a racist country so I’m it surprised. Their own government doesn’t even care about its people so foreigners there unless they white are seen as bad
China, Japan, and Korea are far more racist against foreigners than Canada or the USA. It gets worse as your skin gets darker. Sad, but true...

I am forced to comment on his first response about working for what you are being paid for. Here in Nigeria workers are already used to liaise affair attitude towards their jobs, they really don’t like to do much with their jobs but they want to be paid. Most workers even closes from work before the actual closing time and they are used to always asking for tips for jobs they are being paid for.
Even for my children i will not move to the western world. I have grown and become very aware of what the world is.
I'm African in Africa and I don't like Canada at all. I love my country too much to even think of migrating to winter land
Imagine living in snow. It's actually physically painful. No wonder all wealthy Nigerians who can actually afford to relocate have relocated back to Nigeria. Then there are people like this Doctor who can't afford to relocate back to Nigeria.

Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
If you don't find a means of multiplying your money, you will wake up one day and realize that the money you thought you had, had been exhausted. Investment is a ladder to climb the financial wall.
Cryptocurrency investment, but you will need a professional guide on that.

Dr peter is clearly intelligent and honest. So many Canadians will surely not agree with him but so what? some may say," then why not go back to your country, Why stick around?"
Not so easy dudes.
He has to reap from where he has given so much to. As far as I'm concerned, there are so many canadians elsewhere expecially in the oil rich middle eastern countries and they are reaping the benefit of those countries.
Would it be wrong if someone does same in canada?
I wish Dr peter could also spread his tentacles to any of the middle eastern countries of his choice, after solidifying his stronghold on canada. The globe is fast becoming both an inter and intra national economic hub. Every right thinking person needs to take avantage of this. Visa restrictions needs to be limited extensively. In Africa we have so many canadian investors and expatriates enjoying the benefits of their host countries and why not? Are we not all citizens of the earth?
So much for biases, prejudice, bigotry, racism and discriminations in western countries. It's only a matter time though.
Fact the same people who are already angry with what he is saying am sure are struggling to pay their rents or mortgages, they are living from pay check to pay check, but that is what the country does to us, you can't speak truth you disagree with the person but deep down you know it is truth
@@meldawilliams1636 Drug addictions, loneliness, backward racist Canadians, expensive housing, homelessness etc… Canada ain’t worth it. I’ve spent so much money here, I should have used that money to open a business in Africa instead. Now I’m going back to Africa broke with no teeth.
I’m sorry to hear about ur awful experience. Racism is not an easy thing to deal with.

Right
The worst part the government doesn’t care so long they collect their high tax , they are fine. The discrimination is hidden, I prefer an open one, I have made up my mind to save a little money if that’s will even be possible & move back to Nigeria. You can’t even save, the system takes every thing.
I feel you
I feel you, in UK no matter how hard you work saving is almost impossible, the bills are high,you have to work extra shifts inorder to have extra to save
Same here @maddycircle... I got fed up and moved back home to Nigeria just last year... Can't continue in that circle..it was taking a toll on me.
@@esthersbucketlistWhat part of UK do you live in?
Lol. People will not plan before going to UK. The state you live in matters a lot. A state like London is a no go area, it's like Lagos nigeria. You'll suffer ur ass there and save nothing. The wise people are saving money in the same UK you're complaining about.
right now, you cannot save anything tangible in Nigeria because the government is not even helping matters.. Canada is still better
This is a never ending perennial controversy. I really cannot understand why he bothered to come to Canada, if things are so good at home. Many people send their children over without having to leave Nigeria (for example, politicians) Some people don't do their research or count the costs before they make the leap, the just follow the bandwagon. Canada is good if you are wise. I I share my take on this whole topic on my channel where I talk about moving back to Nigeria and the truth no one told me. To each his own.
Hey Diekola - thanks for your thoughtful comment. I agree with you, people need to make a more informed decision while taking this big leap, or else a lot of problems may arise. But Canada can definitely be a great place.
Thanks for stopping by :)
This is what happens in my life too😢😢😢
I like the fact that the working time in CANADA is staggered and people know their daily working schedule. This is the reason why these countries are successful. If people in back home in Nigeria understand that the work place is not a mini bar things might be a lot better. I am happy he has integrated into the system despite the systemic discrimination.
Even after you think you've integrated yourself into the system, the racism and discrimination still persist. Racism is part of humanity that will never go away.
Even in our home country, we still get discriminated against in the name of tribalism. Discrimination is everywhere, it's just how you see it and accept it that matters.
Running out of your countries to nice whhyte ones and endless complaining. Why not go to Latin America, Asia or the Middle East?, How about India or Pakistan? I'm sure they would love to have you. Descend on them and complain. The systemic racism in Nigeria toward descendants of slaves, different tribes, people who are darker than others is horrendous. My goodness. Why dont you do something about that there? And the violence, corruption and open sewers! And while you're at it, go put a lei of flowers around the neck of the statue of Madam Tinubu who you honor and look up to. She has an entire square dedicated to her!
What about uae, how hard do the emirates work?

I had migrated to Nz 3 months back and i gotta say its the exact opposite of whatever Canada has to offer . There is work life balance here, not much of pressure , the people are easy going and its turning out to be the best decision of my life .All the best to my brothers and sisters trying to make it big..
Hello
By Nz you mean Newzeland
That One older gentleman was the wrong person to interview on this subject. He is older, has higher education in a field that is highly regulated in Canada and had a stable and conformable situation back home which isn't the case for the majority of immigrants from Nigeria. He is already set in his ways. He should go back to Nigeria and support his kids if they want ti study/immigrate to Canada.
what are you saying? business in Nigeria is not safe you can lose all if you don't try more and the sad truth is this man has to find a way to establish both his firm and future of his children
Its definitely easier when you're younger but Canada does see a lot of immigrants at Peter's age group as well. This video is just to raise awareness on what to expect. Not an aim to discourage people from immigrating.
@@davidosimiri7344 What do you mean by "What are you saying?"? I said it right up there. He himself acknowledged in the interview that he had a stable situation at home, high education, good income and many assets and at the same time and he himself does not recommend to people with a stable situation back home to immigrate to Canada, which is what HE did anyway "for his family". Don't you see the contradiction in all of that?? 🤷♂
@@franckvincent5190 I get you
People are having problems with the truth or rather the reality of life in Canada when juxtaposed to their fairy tale dreams of snow and an endless flow of Maple sirup. You should have another interview with Peter where he speaks only sweet things. 😂 Topic Suggestion. In Canada with Dr Peter: Positive Vibes Only
They want to enjoy the infrastructure, education, security in Canada without putting in the requisite hard work that make those things possible!
They want to behave like they do in Nigeria where a Doctor employed in a Teaching hospital will not report for work or report late and still take his full salary home at the end of the month. They divert patients to their private clinics and rip them off. And they won't even pay tax!
Canada is so hard yet he wants to get a Canadian citizenship for himself and children, what an irony!
Why did he leave all the good life in Nigeria to relocate in the first place?why?
Blessigns to you! Shame on this doctor!
Yes shame on u doctor
They want a perfect life in a perfect country where things will be easy and free with their nigerian mentality 😂
I also noticed the contradictions in his speech. He sees this specifically from his own perspective and doesn't realize that Canada also has to gain something from him in return. This is the same kind of selfish and conceited way of thinking that led to the forever crisis mode we are in today, with everyone thinking about their own interest and what they can extract from the system and not what they can contribute to it.
@@theinternetsavedmylife exactly 👌
You have a New Nigerian🇳🇬 Subscriber, and thank you to the Dr for an honest conversation.
Appreciate you for the support ❤️
Canada has been ridiculously good to me and for me, even as I appreciate that this is not the average experience. I came here 36 years ago, when there were jobs looking for people, and not the other way around. Back then we had the choice to skill up some more or go in full force in careers, which worked for many of us. I can see how tough it would be for new immigrants now, especially professionals who were already established back in Africa not wanting to get re-validated in order to practice here. That is a journey best played out by new engineers, doctors and other crucial professions where they have time on their side and not feel like they are giving up much to start from scratch. Canada is great but each person has to weigh their reason for wanting to be here. If the scales tip this way, then one has to fully commit to the move to make it work. Otherwise, truly look to make that success happen wherever you are ..... Africa, Asia or Australia. It IS possible!

All these developed nations sell a false dream. I'm a black South African woman living in Norway, it's exactly the same here. Couple it with the fact that you cannot find work without speaking Norwegian and that Norwegian organizations prefer to hire Norwegians over foreigners.
Hang in there Sarah. We're cheering for you.
Sarah home is home and after living in south korea for years i finally understood that life is always better at your place.
Yeah!, even as I am born and speak the language like a native you do feel like a second class citizen in Norway. That is why I packed my stuff and headed to South east asia. You come with your money and people respect you and your way of life. You have country like Thailand you can live extremely well for 15 000 - 25 000 kr. You have great infrastucture, banks and healthcare . I think Norway is good for some people. Lets say you are in need of free health care. Or you are coming as a refugee and need support to get your life back on track. But for the average migrant you will be facing alout of hurdles. Plus life is pretty boring there!.
Western countries take refugees from other countries to do their shiiit jobs that their local population won't do and the wages are the lowest putting their physical and mental health at risk. That is the truth.🙏🙏🙏
I mean...obviously lol youre living in a place that there's no English

I am from Cameroon, I am an assistant télécommunications engineer since 2016. I had the grace to be recruited by the end of my final year by a foreign company BUT, they are using holes in our labor law in Cameroon. The fact is for 6 years now, I am a temporary worker with monthly renewable contracts even though I am working at the same position for 6 years . The irony being, I barely make 500 usd per month, no salary increase for 5 years and with my wife and kid we can just afford to live day by days. No way for me to save some money. I made the maths: even if I work as a janitor in Canada, I can at least same some money for my child future. I am planning to move to Canada. It will always be better than the Bullshit I am through in my own country
What is the cost of living in Cameroon though ? Rent? Food? Gas?
@donpeltier6059 I'm waiting for him to answer that question.
I'm not sure he is aware that the bills are crazy in the West
Depose Paul Biya and chase France away Cameroon will be fine
@@donpeltier6059 Cameroonian right here. The minimum wage in Cameroon is about 53 dollars USD per month and the average rent of a one bedroom appartment in a major city is about 32 dollars. Explain me then how can a minimum wage worker in Canada be worse than that. The issues of the privileged people are non everyone's issues
why dont you look for systems engineer jobs abroad???
In Nigeria, Criminals steal money without actually doing any work 😂😂, they call themselves Politicians and civil servants 😅😅
I find he’s Assessment and comparison funny. Especially because I personally consider the Nigerian work culture as “lax” except you work for a foreign company in Nigeria which exposes you to the fast paced work culture in Western countries like Canada. Those of us who work for foreign tech companies will understand what I am saying. My Nigerian doctor brother will get used to it soon. Now you’re REALLY working, unlike what most workers do in Nigeria. Where time is not accounted for.

Only when you in the situation will you know if it is for you. We live through different lenses and views of the world.
He is talking about Canada not UK
@@aliciamomat7963 hence I made the disclaimer of the UK. Point was not about countries but people experiencing life differently and I was not invalidating his experience but just stating that two people from the same country could move to another country and I have a completely different experience.
@@heidiroman2573 Even in the same Canada people view their experiences with different lenses. People have a very think skin. They react to every perceived act of racism. Meanwhile, in Nigeria, the tribes hate each other more than the Europeans discriminate against Africans. In Nigeria, certain national projects are not executed in certain regions because the people in power hate those regions. People are just hypocrites. Nigeria is a case study.
South Africa is different from Nigeria. Your system dear is very close to American system so you definitely will prefer the UK to South Africa!
How can you say you “live in the U.K. which is not in Canada” who doesn’t know that United Kingdom and Canada are two different countries.
I have knew that as a kid in Africa before moving to the U.K.
Thank you for this brunt assessment. Doctor please build your tentacles in Africa. You will be happier in Africa.
In the western world you have to work for your money, in most parts of Africa you're free n most people don't actually work the right way. He gets to work late and takes a 2 /3 hour break. If you like working hard you're welcome, if you are not hard working stay in Africa

Dude, how can you compare the money you make in Nigeria to Canada? The comfort that Canada offers can compare it to Nigeria? How can you have 24 hrs running water,quality medical facilities, security, and quality schools for your kids yet complain about it being expensive. Live in Nigeria,where the water may not be clean,you will have electricity distributed ,big security issues ,schools a mess then. I 've lived in the US for 9 years and have and will never complain because of the simple quality of life I experience. Just the fact I can wake up in the morning and switch the light on,turn the pump on and there's water running, call 911 and there's multiple ambulances outside my door ,go to the hospital even with no money and be treated before the money is brought forth is freaking awesome.
Have you lived in Canada?
Why wouldn't you have more money in your pocket In a country you do not pay taxes let alone the astronomical taxation in the West.
Sit this one out.
Nigerians had it good and still complaining because they're unwilling to fight for their country.
Cowards.
Admit it- You were poor in Nigeria.
You couldn't afford yourself a solar system. That's why ordinary electricity is excites you.
Let's see how the US fares for you after 10 more years.
For those that don't understand why he said staying for kids because if you're a Nigerian you will understand the situation at hand safety, you have the money back home but it can't save you when big matters arises no light no good medical equipment your going out n coming always scared of being kidnapped and so on so don't say go back everything he said is correct but in God we trust
Thank you for sharing
Hogwash! It all depends on where you live in Nigeria 🇳🇬.

But Canada is on a similar path now so soon enough, where will you have security?
@@andersonojoshimite6047 more than 90% of anywhere in Nigeria there is a fear of being kidnapped and no steady eletricity,most people travelling abroad consider their children,they have better opportunities to succeed than Nigeria that the reality,thousands of graduates are churn out yearly with no good paying jobs for them to start their lives comfortably
A continent's productivity is regulated by its slowest worker.
I appreciate the doctor's openness. He has a lot to offer and i hope his medical accreditations are accepted fully and if not, the process to regularize himself is not too lengthy.
I felt everything this brother said. his experience is valid
This gentleman is smart, articulate with his analysis of the situation.
I echo his comments. If I am doing well in my country I wouldn’t leave- especially Africans and the African Diaspora. I see the horrific atrocities committed against the Africans crossing these borders to get into Europe. It is sad to the point where I said before I leave my country I would rather eat from my land than to come and be dehumanized.
He said nothing but the facts, the racism part he’s absolutely right on that. Canada need to improve the racism. The only thing he forgot to mention is immigrates are racist to each other before white or native.
In Africa they hardly work sit in chairs unconcerned even when patients are calling for attention unlike Canada you will work. Those people that work in Africa puts 10% of work in their daily shifts whilst the 90% is relaxing and flexing around this is the reason why most of these professionals find it hard to cope in Canada. Ghana my Country is not an exception.
