Beware of the single narrative. He’s speaking from his own experience, but it’s not the same as everybody’s. I’ve lived in Canada now for 4 years…got my citizenship this year. I lived in Nigeria for the 10 years prior to moving to Canada, and I also schooled and lived in the UK before that, so I speak with a wealth of diverse experiences. \n\nBefore you move to Canada or anywhere else for that matter, do the following:\n\n1. Research the country you’re moving to…what jobs are in demand, how that aligns with your qualifications…if you need to recertify or retrain in a different field. Many people move here thinking “oh I was a bank manager in Nigeria, so I’ll move here and become a bank manager”. It doesn’t work that way. The streets of Canada are littered with qualified medical doctors who drive Uber because they didn’t understand how difficult it would be to be certified to practice here.\n\n2. Find role models who are living the life you aspire to, or who have made similar moves and seek advice or guidance, and learn what they did right/wrong. Don’t just assume because your friend moved here, you can also move here and live the same life. You don’t share the same life experiences, history or have the same network.\n\n3. Before you immigrate physically, you have to immigrate mentally…be in the right mindset to live in a new country, understand their culture and learn to adapt. If you’re expecting to leave Nigeria and move to Canada to live a Nigerian lifestyle with “owambe” parties every weekend, or having 4 cars and 3 housemaids, then you’re still living in Nigeria mentally. Even Justin Trudeau does not drive 4 cars.\n\nI work in tech, so I knew that with God’s grace I’d find a way to succeed here. My wife worked in a Nigerian bank, and was able to transition to tech after we arrived here. Our combined annual income is roughly $500k, and we both work less than 40 hours a week, and I believe God will continue to bless us. I have easily 20 or 30 friends and colleagues who moved within a year or two of each other, and everyone is doing fine and working in tech jobs paying 6-figures. \n\nDon’t be discouraged by people’s failures and hardships. With the right planning and mindset, you can achieve your goals in any country. Reach out to people on LinkedIn, build a network and ask for advice (constructively)…many like us are more than willing to help.

Bro is on the 419 level with his stories of back home … “had a mansion with many chauffeur driven cars” … OK so why did you leave all that to come to Canada?

As an older person who migrated decades ago after protesting in my old country, I encourage young people below 45 to FIGHT for your countries. Fight bad goverments. 7 billion people on the planet cannot move to the few western countries that seem to work and appear attractive on the surface, it’s not possible. The taxpayers in those countries are feeling it. Look at the folks sleeping on the floor in NY! The homeless citizens don’t have places to sleep but politicians are lodging new border crossing migrants in hotels at taxpayers expense, creating resentment! \n\nFight those oppressing you in your countries. Black America “fought” to eliminate Jim Crow so we can even move here. Black America and the White allies who struggled for civil rights ARE the reason the west has even been tolerant of the amount of immigration in the last 40 years! \n\nThere is no peace without a fight… even after the civil rights fights including the million man March 60 years ago? by MLK, the struggle against racism continues. \n\nHe left because of his children but will find out in 25 years time that they will want to connect with their roots even after succeeding in the West. \n\nYoung folks, take African, Latin American, Caribbean and Asian countries back from oppressive greedy corrupt rulers to reduce the need to leave our places of birth. I “fought” oppressive corrupt regimes with other like minded folks when I was younger before leaving! I wish we were more that were interested in protesting! Now folks are giving up without a serious protest, distracted by entertainment and the illusion of utopian countries which is not true. They find out too late! \n\nWestern politicians and governments need to stop cooperating with oppressive governments in these areas if they truly want to tackle immigration. Freeze their stolen loot like we did to the Russian oligarchs, force them to return the loot into their various economies and create good middle class jobs! \n\nThe west works because most work is assembly line in nature, glorifies slavery. A doctor has a target of about 15 to 20 patients to see per day and rushes you out of his office because the corporation he works for only cares about money and KPIs! You really aren’t allowed to interact with patients and provide personalized service. A pharmacist has to fill anything between 200 to 350 prescriptions, give a certain number of immunizations and see a certain No of patients per day. There is no time for niceties! A corporate professional May work remotely but has to deliver on so many projects he is up till 10pm and only gets up to eat. We have beautiful homes, drive nice cars etc but MUST work like the clock in an assembly line fashion! Most of us pay so much of our income as taxes we end up with less than 70% as paychecks! Things aren’t always what they seem!

The dumbest people on this planet is so called black people, A people that doesn't know who they are, What they are and their status on this planet, They leave their natural habitat where everyone else is going to extract the wealth of those lands, They are running to a places offering themselves to be slaves where they don't belong, Have no business being there among those that hates them with great passion, Go back to your natural habitat where you are the indigenous peoples and put your thoughts together and make use of the resources at your disposal.

Oga leave that story wea you de talk kuku come back if Canada no favour you ooo

I was very well settled back in India, but i left India for my kids future. Within two years in Australia, i brought our house. I believe, leaving India was good decision this is because i got the position . according to my education.

There is a reason why English people never wanted to leave india was excellent weather!!

I'm sorry but chief you ain't speaking the truth. A very simple question of Nigeria is as you as it is, why don't you leave your Children here

So I guess this guy will be leaving?

How do you want me that sold my two cars, my studio n it’s equipments, sold some expensive stuffs just to come to the uk ?? to now go back with nothing. It’s hard because before you can account to anything you have to follow the system and become something first then go back. Sometimes I seat n pray to God, praying n hoping I did not make a mistake because this foreign countries are nothing compared to where we’re from and if not for the useless Nigerian government do you think we will ever want to leave ? It’s painful but true

Why y'all leaving like that what's going on let them people there man that must be killing them people over there for nothin they kill for nothin over there

Africans leave and never return to Africa. Especially Nigerians.

To all those who are bitching against Canada including Kaizabi, you know that there are planes leaving everyday so make your suitcases and get the fuck out. By the way Nigeria is a very, very violent country and you have the audacity to complain.

Cleaning, hitting wife, extra extra that your personal choice, one you said 2500 dollars leaving in Toronto not afford for your knowledge

That’s easy. Quit voting liberals in office it’s been proven all over the world progressive ideas destroy economies. Canada has a version of penis envy with the U.S. they want to prove how smart and cultured. The country is shit and people are leaving.

If your whole intention was to leave your country of birth for these scam white countries, what was the point of your nation in the first place ?

*Canada only knows how to get ppl into the country. they treat you like dog SH## so they force you to leave especially as a MAN! the country is a dream and happiness k1ller.*

Militarize the border! SHOOT A SHOT ACROSS THE BOW and they'll chill out and LEAVE

The US has its system because if someone works a highly skilled job on a work permit and leaves the country after 10 yrs of uncertainty, they wont be asking for Social security and they would have contributed a lot to the system by then.

Jab ek citizen doosre citizen ko dushman samajhta hai. Andhbhakts Modi ji Modi ji jo (illiterate hai) saarey Bharat ko barbaad kar raha hai.\nDo you guys know the latest data about people leaving India is on rise every year! Why?

Ain't shit over here?hell I'm trying to leave and they trying to come in?guess I'm going to Mexico✊???

The foreigners want to blame America for not letting them in. How about blaming your country for such difficult situations that you feel the need to leave your country? And for everyone (legal or undocumented) who thinks we should open our borders to everyone immediately, you should sign up to house and feed these people. And don’t ask if they committed any crimes because you don’t feel they are important. And for all the people who come here with no invite but the others have to wait in line, you should be required to do community work for free to pay back the kindness and not be given any assistance or tax credit at the end of the year. But you should be allowed healthcare access like everyone else. The first child can be American but none after that.

Ab sabhi youtubing kar rahe hain Canada main jake chutiya ban juke canada main jake Dont leave indian if you are not extraordinary talented,

America should be proud that these people desire to go to America to be free and to flee from Police corruption and political corruption. So many people post hateful comments against the Americans, but these same people know that there is nobody attempting to get into their country, instead they are attempting to leave. Regardless of the negative views about immigration, immigrants are a valuable investment to any country. The Irish that sought refuge from the misery and hunger from the Irish famine were treated like shit when they arrived in America after they sailed to America on the famine ships. But history proves that they were a great investment to America. So many became successful business people, they became second generation President to the USA like Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland, J. F Kennedy, R Regan, etc, and not to forget many Irish in Law enforcement, and the military. So stop thinking that these people are taxing your resources, they may do short term just to help them settle in, but in the long term they are asset's. These people will get employment, pay taxes, start businesses, employ people etc. Think of the glass half full and not half empty. Stop hating on these immigrants as you did with the Irish and welcome them, give them a chance, and be proud that they want to come and live in America to get away from their shitty country and try build a future for their children. What parent wouldn't want to do that for their children ? Jesus said'' Love one another as I have loved you ''

As an American, let them in! Some of us need to leave anyways, because there’s barely housing for ourselves

Muslims should leave....

Its ? true , if somebody have good life in India, why should leave ?

Why would they want to leave where they come from?

Imagine leaving everything. Risking it all. And walking all that way. \n\n\nTo go to the US. ??

This is why the left is avidly trying to take away our guns so like these people we will have to comply to them and the ? mafia or leave

I hope these people stop being so ignorant and dispisicable! You parents who are on holiday ignoring your children and not making sure theyre well behaved are disgusting heathens and it shows your low class. If you do not like other adults speaking to and/or disciplining your kids than you take care of the kids or leave them at home!!! Uts shocking to normal American citizens to see unruling disturbing bratty kids that have parents in ear shot, just reading the paoer and purposely ignoring the encounters, like they enjoy seeing everyone shocked and uncomfortable. You take your kids home theyre not wanted.

Americans: can’t find workers\nAmericans: all these people who want to become part of our economy need to LEAVE

please leave

A republican state is looking good right now, time to leave communist fraudulent crown slave Canada

Leave canada and come back ! \nThey will not do it ...why ?\nStrength of indians with better skills will increase , and thekedar of one particular community will get overwhelmed.

Even the children of Grade one officers are leaving for abroad\n\nKoi wapas nhi aaun lga((Jekr 100aa v gye ta 1000 Jaan nu tyar ne )। Personally I know many who are planning to shirft from here,and the number is hige

This bullshit says NS major industries are fishing trolling and hunt , what does that mean, I leave , yes fishing is important, but no one hunts are a living

And we’re doing the same thing! Running from California! People who are coming to Texas, and Florida are leaving their states! Instead of fighting back against their government! That has sold us out! Terrorist are in the White House!! when will Americans wake up!! it’s already too late!?

In canada I get 5 weeks vacations. A year maternity leave. Lots of sick days. Giving birth is FREE ( heard from an American woman she was in debt 30K for a complicated twin birth ????????). Ambulance once cost me 40$. \nI even stopped going to Florida for March break. Those red hats… QAnon…the guns….this hatred….\n400 mass shooting so far for 2023 ?. Nothing patriotic about my choice as I am a French national. \nAs a woman that would mean accepting that old male policies can decide on my body

having your health care tied to your job is a dystopian nightmare and its weird people think thats fine. If you need the benefits, you can't leave a bad situation unless you have another job lined up, my god thats awful

I would love to leave this country. Not an option currently.

I'm a canadian who moved to a third world country 10 years ago. The usa was never on my list as a possible new home. In fact, it was on my list of countries to avoid. When I'm forced to fly through the usa, I never leave the airport. Recently, the usa has become much worse than my present home. Much worse!

The trade-off of salary vs cost of living isn't as bad as he makes it seem when you live in Canada vs the U.S. To get those 300k a year jobs, your paying 4-5-6k of rent a month. You can have a similar apartment in Montreal for 1/4 of the price. maybe even less. It's still a slightly a loss compared to the states, but nowhere near as big as he makes it seem. Also, salaries don't drop off as much as in the states when you leave big city centers, meaning if you live in a medium sized town, you're making almost as much as if you worked in a big city but cost of living is way, way down.

Venezuelan here, this people are the same that voted to have Hugo Chavez in the presidency and are a bunch of entitled people who wants everything give to them and not work for it. Not only that most of them were willing to assault people who where protesting the government so they could a miserable hand me downs from the government. This is the same people most Venezolana’s try to leave behind when they left the country in the first place.
