Stay home am in Canada plz

The Truth is the developed countries have lots of opportunities to offer only if you go with the right intention. The problem with we Africans we like short cuts in everything. If you go to Canada as a tourist or visitors Visa and then you end up doing refugee status think you smart jokes will be on you. Let's talk with people who have gone to canada with PR or work visa and tell us their experience. Then we will know if moving to Canada is a good or bad idea.

I want to live in Kenya. I have lived in Canada for 30 years. Canada is a lonely country, not easy to make friends at all. I was born in Europe and came to Canada. I had the same opportunities were I came from. I have always been interested in buying land. However, to buy land in Canada, it will never actually be yours. In Africa, if you were not born in any of the 54 countries, you can only lease the land. There is a big difference knowing that you can pass land on to your family , creating generational wealth. There are pros and cons in many things in life. Had I known then , what I know now, I would have stayed in Europe.

@Lynn I’m Kenyan- Canadian. I’ve lived in for 24 yrs! It’s not a terrible place to work & live. Life here is all about your life style, I choose to work hard & play smart, I’ve managed to invest here in properties. Although it took me almost 10 yrs of working hard two jobs to achieve that! In short if you’re coming to ?? leave the party life style behind! Here no one has time for sherehe. Canada is extremely cold & long winters causes depression & loneliness. I tend to take couple holidays during winter ti break free from long dark days. Also remember self care is non negotiable. You have to look after your self it’s super important.

I live in Edmonton Alberta, Canada my friend who is a Real Estate Agent in Toronto called me last week to ask about the situation in Edmonton with housing because there are lots of immigrants coming to Toronto and there is literally no houses. Lots of people are on the streets. There are also lots of scammers claiming to have apartments that do not exist and they are getting people.\nYes the cost of living is extremely high. Is mind blowing how families survive here .

Rent & Cost of living skyrocketed in the last couple years...The world in general is crazy right now...\nWanacontrol the media hapa... Kuna channels on social media that Canadians won't access...\nSome form of dictatorial rule...\nBut I still dont regret my move to Canada, 7years down the line.. If Kenya was half as good as Canada development-wise, Id be on my next flight to the ??+254... Salimia @Joshu

Guys you should note, the western powers are creating artificial problems such as immigration crisis ( canada, mexico-us border & libya-europe crossings) for them to do fundraising through international donors UN etc and their tax payers. People should realise most of this countries are on the brink of debt crises eg US is 34 trillion in debt. So this is a global fundraising scheme and africa as usual is the scape goat, just like the slave trade.

Living in USA is very different from living in Canada. Mortgages in Canada is very expensive compared to USA. Utilities, insurance, gas, food,, clothes is twice high in Canada. A simple google search can show that. I had moved from USA to Canada and had to return to the USA. Winters are so long in Canada just heating your house takes up half of your paycheck. Agencies are selling Canada more because its harder to get USA visa

Gun crime in Canada between Sikh gangs is very common but is only now being noticed. Remember Gohel in the 1990's he was involved in 20 murders.

Good advise to your audience Lynn- that people should do due diligence research before thinking of hopping on a plane to any foreign country let alone Canada. Good education and commensurate skill set is what Canada is after. And do not coming here with the hope that govt social programs will bridge the gap to your success. The cost of living is up everywhere- rent has gone commensurate with increase in mortgage rates due to inflation. Ata sisi kimeturamba!

oh God, am shattered, thought Canada way my out?

I would rather struggle in Canada than die poor in Kenya. No jobs in kenya,mimi kwanza mahali nmetoka kuhustle lazima nifike hio Canada, unless niskie kuna tsunami

Justinflation Toronto is not the only place in Canada with crime, homelessness, and high cost of living.

IF CANADAV IS JUST A TRAP, WHY MAKE YOUR MONEY AND INVEST BACK IN CANADA? WHY NOT INVEST IN THE CARIBEAN????

I am from the carribean living in canada since I was 20 now 50 still living in canada just doing the job I love babysitting even if I have a medical deplome in health care and able to work with the Government. You cam make it if you're money smart but the best thing to do first is to invest in your own country first because the trap is if you invest in the country you move to you will be working and paying bills for ever. The skill and luck is what makes it like me. Plus stay as long with roommates until you save enough money to invest in your country.

I just think there is alot of problems where kenyans are concerned\n\n1. Rely on fake agents and their short cuts. There are accredited agents from developed countries who source in africa and asia but not the other way round. These are sometimes listed on official government websites. \n\n2. Don't fully undertand skills. They think acdemic papers and some random corporate jobs equals skills. Lets call skills, trades and ICT expertise; carpenters, plumbers, nurses, teachers have a better chance than some bank manager in Kenya. \n\n3. Rely too much on youtubers with random clips on things they need to train in like nursings and such over a short period then land in Canada and get a job. It doesn't work like that. First of all, has canada said they need Kenyan nurses? Immigration in developed countries is based on policy. So even when they give visas, they know what they are doing and who they are letting in and for what jobs. \n\n4. Do not go to official government websites to confirm random research and advice\n\n5. Are still dishonest and think it's about trickery and knowing people. Well, not always. At least be able ans willing to yo flip burgers and clean toilets if it comes to that!?\n\n6. There is no affordable housing in developed countries. They too are struggling on that front.\n\n7. Last but not least, kurukwa na host..yes, betrayal from a Kenyan and that of Judas Isacriot ni bumper to bumper\n\nLynn, harusi tunayo ama tulikuwa nayo? ?????

Canadian immigration is a government run scam to lure migrants and rob them their money showing some good instagram pics of Canada

welcome to Justin's and Jegmeet's Canada. Alberta is fighting tooth and nail to keep these rules and laws out of their province and hence the lowest prices in Canada.

BC is the worst province(horrible political, health, and legal management). Quebec, Ontario, is also bad...same reason. Canada has become a hidden dictatorship. DON'T COME HERE.... IF YOU MUST, CHOOSE ALBERTA OR NEW BRUNSWICK... AT LEAST THEY HAVE DECENT PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS THAT CARE ABOUT AND ACTUALLY SERVE THE PEOPLE..

Canada is now good for terrorists and Nazis. Rest all will struggle.

Canada is being run by liberals of course you longer like it

I agree. In fact, thanks for having 2 passports, I am moving back to the EU in the next year or so. Toronto, and Canada, will take 10 years to recover. It's not worth staying here.

Due to Trudeau's policies the standard of living for a LOT of people has rocketed downwards...his gas tax has made food and gas unaffordable, his mass printing of Canadian currency plus his massive deficits from year to year have cause rampant inflation, we have a massive housing shortage due to his policies coupled with the lack of proper infrastructure in this country (Canada is the ONLY G7 nation with high speed rail, plus we have no plans to build that)...as a result rents in cities like Toronto and Vancouver are ridiculously unaffordable...there is a massive crime wave happening in the country because of Trudeau's policies to release criminals from jails, coupled with his policies to use taxpayer funds to provide drugs (like cocaine, and meth) to users...stay away from Toronto, it has been ruined by the policies of the government run by Justin Trudeau and backed by Jagmeet Singh. :(

If canadas rcmp are so wrapped up in beating protesters they dont have time to arrest the terrorists.

Canada is save Haven for Criminals shelter By Precident!

One thing is clear, mostly Punjabis of India are desperate to enter Canada. We do not see much students from other provinces , in India.

Canada is a strange place, where hard working students and working class have to get in a long line to get visas while terrorists and criminals are given a free pass.

Canada been taking out the trash for India for weeks, I wonder whats up!

I found only one reason to stay in canada is trafic. \nSicne i am staying in Bangalore never felt air is polluted or Street is dirty. \nMy brother is in canada . \nHe keep watching webseries one after one.

Criminals are welcome in Canada... Its making things worse

Thank you all for your messages and wishes, I am gone to the hospital please see the update in my recent video here ?\n\nREALITY of IMMIGRANTS in CANADA | Real STRUGGLES of a NIGERIAN Immigrant in Canada (Ugly Truth)\nhttps://youtu.be/fK9K2-4Xsgs

Hello please tell me how i can get the job in Canada

That guy is right Canada now is a shithole.

Canada is the shelter for criminals and terrorists

What a disgrace! We've been sold out to the elite. Things need to change and not just in Canada.

Turdo ne canada ko barbad kar diya hai

Canada is Safe heaven for all gangst*r, rap*st, terrori*t, naz*s

Hi can one visit Canada at the age of 38 and get a job

Canada dependent on money of ?? ,state of terrorism supported state

Canada and many of it cities are like fallen empires, they have divulged in immoral and sickening practices like past empires. So it will fall because people have chosen liberalism over truth and morality

Canada's reputation is ruined for housing extremists/ terrorists

Awesome content Diamond?? i also came to Canada ?? similarly in 2002, I'm in Toronto, the struggle will be over soon. The best thing about Canada is that, once you finish your program you'll easily get your papers & a very good job. There's less racism in Canada ?? to get promoted when you're educated.

Remember what Trudeau did to the truck drivers in Canada. Froze their bank accounts and all types of other stuff that even George Orwell couldn't predict. Canada showing it's ture colours ?

My dear God is your strength I pray that the Lord will also help me to succeed in moving into Canada too

Trudeau is making homelessness the worst canada has ever seen as he lives like a king and destroyed affordability with his bad policies and high taxes. Trudeaus carbon taxes are destroying affordability in everything

Let’s be honest, Canada sucks!

canada is full of criminals from other \ncountries

Doesnt make any sense for me to pay these prices.. and these taxes.. for wrong s..x education and waiting for the doctor for 6-12 months..\n\nPlus its not easy to find job here..\n\nBye Canada at least for now.. and im not along
