Lynn, this Canada thing is a common sense thing. Same reason a Tanzanian will not come to kenya to sell tomatoes on the streets due to high competition on the field. Any country you move to it depends on what you will go to do and who will help you get on your feet. Canada is extremely beautiful and one can prosper extremely well financially compared to kenya BY FAR! But you can’t come from the village and land in Toronto and wait for a job and opportunity to come get you from the airport! Am very honest. I live abroad, in one of the richest countries in the world and believe me, I have seen even their own citizens suffering economically. Why? What are their skills and plans and expectations? I read somewhere, with all the wealth in the world, if all was to be shared equally to every one the universe, the rich will become rich and the poor poor -again. So a kenyan should first plan who they will live with for atleast a year while they get on their feet, put their hustle mood on n be willing to take any jobs, plus get out of the mentality that one must be in a big city! Other places outside cities really have low costs of life and offer more opportunities. Just saying

The whole world has been in recession from last year .As for Canada we started to feel it more this year.With recession everything becomes inaccessible.

Canada is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. When you vote for countries in terms of beauty they look at different criteria to make your judgement.\n2. Canada doesn’t have green card like the US but it takes strictly professionals. It wants people who can grow the economy not suckers of the economy, (free loaders)\n3. The medical system is free and one of the best in the Western world \n4. The few lower jobs in Canada are reserved for countries like Asia and Mexico their government has negotiated on their behalf. Eg Mexicans work well in the agriculture centres and Asians do nanny jobs but other any professionals from those countries can come in.\n5 The weather in Canada is not human friendly

Hi Lynn. First of, I would like to say that I'm such a huge fan of yours. Since you started at Tuko and still following to date. You are an inspiration to me and so many people out there. I love and respect what you stand for and your work. I completely resonate with everything you are about. Second, I've lived in Canada for over 30 years now. I am Eritrean and was born in Kenya. Moved to Canada when I was about 9 and have lived here since with my family. I have to say that for us, Canada has been a God Send. It has helped us in so many ways, and we are so grateful for the opportunities and life it has given my family. From health care to schooling and job opportunities. We also cane here in 1989. So times and cost of living was very different than it is now. Of course, times have changed now, and the economy and standard of living have too. There are pros and cons to everywhere we live in the world. Everyone is different and has different experiences. There are various factors that may affect everyone's perspectives and experiences when they come to Canada, whether it was a long time ago or recently. Some factors could be, weather, economy, feeling lonely ( no family), language barriers, support...etc. Change is not easy at all and can affect t your whole emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Social life here is also not like it us back home...just alot of factors. People here work and work to make it. My mom brought us here as a single widowed mom. My sister and I were very young. But she was determined to give us a better life and worked her whole life, and it has paid off. It depends on how you look at everything and what your goal is. My mother was determined and made it happen and has raised us on her own very successfully. She loves Canada and appreciates it for everything it has done for us. Everyone's experiences are different. You have to do your research before coming and come with an open mind. Overall... Canada for us has been a blessing. \n\nI hope that helps somehow. But again, everyone's perspective and experiences are just as valid and rightfully so. \n\nI hope to meet you someday. Love you, Lynn, From Canada ?? ❤️

The guy was probably squarely in the middle class in the Caribbean and then moved to a 1st world country and dropped status, because everything is standardized. There are no shortcuts. He therefore feels shortchanged. Canada however ranks high in almost every metric - life expectancy, childhood mortality, quality healthcare, good education system, livable cities, clean air/water, low crime rates ... The only downside is the brutal arctic winters.

Canada isn't perfect - but it is definitely better than many parts of the world - better than Japan.

You are just sharing information which is already everyone knows in India and rest of the world. Canada is not a country like Sweden, Denmark or other European country known for their index in terms of living condition.

I came to Canada fifty years ago,at that time you had to comply with the immigration laws ,you definitely had to qualify,and had to speak English or French .\nIn the last 10 or 15 years the government open the doors wide open to two class of immigrants,the very wealthy from around the world and the desperate , very poor from around the world .\nThe result ; the wealthy investing in real state and becoming wealthier and the uneducated migrants struggling.\nThank the liberals for this .

Gangsters and anti-gangsters both in Canada.. great job by those who make our world more safe..

canada import the world garbage in the name of liberalism.

Move to Thailand. Less than half the cost of living compared to Canada. Women are women and men are men. Best food in the world, and world-class medicine. Happy smiling people.... Sawadee Krup!

Canada has an incompetent Prime Minister who is a disgrace to the world

Start taking out the trash Canada!What intel canada has that blinds them from the truth???. The world is laughing at Canada.

Canada is safe place for all the criminals around world

Canada is safe heaven for world wide terrorists....they are nursing terrorism ...\nWill ruin that country....

You think these are real criminals, wait till you find out which corrupt army in the world runs Papa Johns pizza chain in Canada. Unfortunately this country is filled with the scums of the world and happily shelters them.

As a Canadian, I am fuming with anger at how easy we have made it for terrorists, gangsters and law evading criminals to find an easy path to citizenship in Canada! What the hell are we doing as a nation? The government must make sure that we have zero tolerance for extremism and deport these criminals back to their country of origin. \n\nAnybody seeking a Canadian citizenship should have NO business fighting for a secession in a foreign land and engaging in violence. If a Canadian citizen engages in such violent activities, then it Canada’s problem to deal with and not someone else’s. \n\nIf Canada doesn’t enforce law and order internally, then we risk seeing more incidents like this as the world will not wait forever for Canada to grow up and take responsibility for itself.

CANADA IS BEAUTIFUL...IF YOU'RE LAZY OR LOOKING FOR AN EASY LIFE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME COMING, IT'S A PLACE WHERE DREAMS CAN COME THROUGH......FOR ALL THE CANADIANS WHO WANT TO LEAVE CANADA OR BITCHIN ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT,,,TRUST ME ,YOU ALL HAVE NO IDEA HOW BAD THE REST OF THE WORLD IS RIGHT NOW,,,,THE WORLD IS CHANGING AND EVERYWHERE IS GETTING HARDER, AND CANADA HAS CHANGED,,,, IF YOU' CAN'T ACCEPT THAT THEN KEEP LIVING IN A BUBBLE

Canada is a perfect shelter for Criminal from all around the world.

This is part of a deliberate policy all over the Germanic christian/anglo Saxon christian/ anglo American christian world in Europe uk uas canada Australia new Zealand to create a multi faith multi ethnic LGBTQ society to replace the white christian population //

I'm a cosmetic surgeon living in Sydney Australia. I'll be totally honest. You can delete my post or you can except the truth.\nI've been too & have friend & colleagues who have migrated to Toronto from Sydney. Toronto is very similar to Sydney. It has some of the most exspensive housing in the world. Canada & Australia's economy is based on economic growth through mass immigration. The cost of this policy, means you also need to restrict development & zoning regulations to artificially keep properties high. Governments need make your population continually, working as slaves, to pay for basic costs, of a largely welfare dependent society. While your a debt slave, you don't spend your money on foreign products, as you have very little in the way of exsports, to pay for imports. The upside to this, you have many slaves to pay for the never ending welfare, as you have a policy of supporting refugees, single parents & the disabled, over self reliance & responsibility. Mental health issues are largly created by society, they are very rarely genetic. The high cost of living, means, you cant afford families. No strong family ties means, poor mental health issues. When you outsource, what familes once did, like help the the elderly, support your unemployed brother & have children. Replace all what families did with government welfare, instead of families helping each other, replace reproduction with mass immigration. You end up creating enormous problems in society. Problems with mental health & crime.\nNow for your modelling career. In Japan, your a novelty, as you have a different look to the Japanese. However in Canada, for your age what are your best features. You only have one. You have very good skin. However your face shape, is slightly disproportionate, basically, meaning your just an average shape face. You could also work on going to the gym, as your not toned. So basically as a whole, for your age group, your slightly above average, say a 6 out of 10, which is not all that good as 60% of Canada's population are overweight. Now as a model, you need to compete with people who are younger & better proportioned 7,8 & 9's. No such thing as a 10.

canada is so bad that people from 3rd world countries regret coming . virtue signaling killed our country and shitty leaders killed our country

I can confirm that there's really nothing in Canada. They have no jobs and the Jobs they give to Black Immigrants in particular, whether you have a degree or not, are generally seasonal summer jobs in warehouses, working with plastic injection molding machines. When winter arrives, you get laid of until the next summer and the cycle continues. It was the first place l learnt that racially motivated official murder of Black People by White Police Officers is standard practice in the United States, because it's also a practice in Canada but not as rampant as it is in the United States. \n\nI just don't know who is spreading this false and deceptive information or understand why we're being bombarded worldwide with ads about Canada wanting immigrants to come over for jobs. China and Japan have more and better jobs than Canada. Even Germany in Europe has more jobs as well. Do people just think that Canada has as much job as the US just because it's in North America and shares a border with the US? We might as well assume same about Mexico. You can't pay me enough to ever live in the west, ever again. From Europe all the way to North America because of the level of racism compared with other continents of the world

Same on you Canadian prime ministers Canadian people crying house too many problems this useless pm bringing refugees or no help.we all Canadian need think now we wants canada world best country not like this

Canada is a SLAVERY HOUSE & Not a land of OPPORTUNITIES, You pay taxes whole life on EVERYTHING from new born kids diapers till after you die taxes on your Coffine & burial expended too.. House owners ?? The land is only Leased to you - You are not the Lot owner of your House, You only own the Above Ground Structure & Pay the Highest Property Tax in the World too..

Looks like all the criminals and terrorists in the world have moved to Canada from Pakistan as Pakistan is now totally broke ?

WoW what other World Wide criminals come to Canada to escape their Country. Trudeau knows he and his government runs Canada and yet Pierre is only up 9 points in the voters poll what's more scary liberals or those who vote for them. Be careful he like others could be your neighbor liberal voters.

For decades Pakistan used to be a joker country for Indian. Canada is giving Pakistan a tough competition. All terrorists & extremist can call Canada home. A safe heaven shelter. Canadians authorities excellence in incompetence is world class.

Wake up and smell the coffee - India is a fascist regime assassinating its critics around the world. Canada should take a stand against its crimes.

Welcome to Justin Trudeau's Canada, where criminals and terrorists from around the world are welcome.

Canada lmao ? ya right, wasn't it India that let the guy out the door and into the world when he's one of their most wanted lmao. Sorry we took in someone we had no idea was an ongoing criminal.

It’s simple: if the institution has the word college in it- you are being screwed. Your degree is worth toilet paper in Canada’s working world. The only institutions worth going to that give you a real recognized degree have the word UNIVERSITY in it - and unless you come from a richer country than Canada you can’t afford those institutions. We Canadians pay off our student loans for a decade for our UNIVERSITY degrees not college degrees.

Canada ?? failed to do its job, well India ?? had to do it. Just like when Canada stopped Uranium imports to India decades ago and tried halting the Nuclear ☢️ progress and here we are today, India ?? a Nuclear triad country, who has peacefully run its space and nuclear program and proven its worth to the world while Canada ?? is busy harbouring terrorists. Great Job Trudeau and Jagmeet - You are NOT my leader, you are NOT my PM !

Why is Canada so desperate to give residency to criminals and terrorists from around the world? Doesn't Canada see what that strategy did to Pakistan?\nits not like criminals, gangsters and drug dealers will give up their profession when they move to Canada.

Canada is known to harbor war criminals from all over the world.

Alina: Flip the story on its head. If not Toronto, and relying on your very extensive experience in so many places, make up a list of where you think people should come. Now Canadians might not consider anywhere but Canada, so it could be a Canadian list. But a more interesting list would pit Canadian locations against the world. Realizing you haven't been just everywhere, it would be an interesting list within your experience. You said good things about Singapore and Bali. If you have the time or energy, rate the top places (including Japan) you've stayed in.

Down with the Canadian khalistani terrorists\nFull support for free Quebec in Canada\nDon't preach the world's largest democracy

Canada is the home of all the world’s human trash. Canadians are so desperate to show the world how polite they are that they will let it anyone without due diligence. What a lovely country.

Canada is a safe haven for terrorists and gangsters. Gangsters of the world - move to Canada. Trudeau will protect you with all his diplomatic might.

Canada : New world capital for Gangstar and terrorists.

Remember when Pakistan was mad that the United States assassinated terrorists and captured osama on its territory but the world just shrugged? Canada is Pakistan in this scene.

So let me guess, India assassinated another Canadian citizen on Canadian soil while it is under investigation by Canada and the eyes of the world are upon it. I must say that for a developed country to be outdone by a 3rd world country in intelligence and security tactics is a new low for Canada. ?

How many people home less people in the world ? you work not in Canada

Canada is Home for terrorists from all around the world and should be Blacklistes by FATF for sponsoring Terrorism.

Canada the worlds door mat for terrorists and criminals \nA Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian

True canadian ppl become poor coz, canada now become land of extremists and terrorists. Gov protect them but not protect real canadian. So sad. Third world country like canada what u expect? Good luck to become land of terrorists in near future

you hit the nail. Canada is the gaslighting capital of the world.

Simple economics should dictate that if rents are so high that the majority can't afford them, they should drop. The peoblem is, there are a small number of people who are more than capable of meeting the high cost of rent and of real estate generally. This is indicative of how much economic inequality has grown in Canada, as it has throughout the English speaking world.

If Canada didn't take in these refugees from halfway across the world, it wouldn't have such a large homeless problem.

When I was young I used to fantasise about going to Toronto Canada as I have some cousins who lived there. Today this makes me quite sad but it is a similar situation here in Sydney Australia but a few years behind you guys but affordable housing is a big issue and a small but growing homeless issue Rising. We don't have the extreme random violence like in Canada but stuff like that does happen in all major industrialised cities around the world. Growing population without good healthcare and infrastructure is a major issue in a lot of big cities around the world.\nWe have a government that wants to increase the population and at the same time acknowledge the fact that we don't have the infrastructure to cope for that and also squeezing that big population in a smaller and smaller space of course causing greater mental issues as a result
