Just don’t let them come to Europe, send them where they came from

Africa is the second largest continent. It's bigger than AMERICA (North America and Caribbean combined), it's very far bigger than Europe. So, matrix here is not something you would report in 8 minutes video covering 4 counties.

I was born in Canada and live here currently. I have lived in Asia, Europe and USA. Canada is my least favorite country to reside, by far, to be honest. Canadian health care is not free, it is just that Canadians are brainwashed to think that working months a year (slavery) for the government healthcare is acceptable. Like children wanting mommy and daddy to look after their allowance. The services a pathetic! As for the politics comment; that fellow is also typical of many (but not all) Canadians....most people in Canada ONLY talk to people that they agree with therefore there will not be any arguments...people even ghost their own family if you don't agree to worship the government.

You see, it is not about language in Europe...they only use language to cover up for the fact that they don't want us in their countries...Many people learnt the language and are educated but are still shackled to menial jobs...

The west in its entirety seems to be on self-destructive trip. From Australia to Western-Europe and from the US to Canada.....Problems Toronto faces happen in each major western city in various severities of impact...

Being in the UK I feel this is much better for me. Could work remotely for companies in America while in uk and still do not have the expenses of Americans. The medicine or sicknesses will cause you bankruptcy even for a non prescription. In Europe the healthcare is free of charge. another thing houses are expensive in America. One thing you got to learn is never be caught by police with any crime. Once you get negative report file you are done and can never get approved for any acceptance in work application or bank loans and this is why homelessness is widespread.

They can walk over a border, while invading Europeans were filled with Disease & Starving on rickety boats from 4000+ miles never to return to Europe? now they want borders. ?

HI Chokor, I really like your submissions.?\nHowever, I will excuse your level of knowledge about Europe as you have said that you have never lived in Europe.\n\nMy own submissions is that both Europe and U.S.A/ Canada has their goods and bads.\n\nFirstly, Europe pratice Socialist and Capitalist economy, meaning if you are working and fall on hard time due to recessions, or health challenges. \nEurope welfare systems will support you, until you are back on your feet, and if its terminal health challenges, the systems support you till death.\n \nPerhaps that is why European pathways to citizenship use to be so narrow, but its changing now,\nGermany has adopted, u.s.a type of Green card, currenty assylum seekers in Europe mostly received work permits after 9months.\n\nCritically, Europe still has more to learn from Canada in terms of integration and equal opportunities for immigrants.\n\nCritically, U.s.a and canada, systems are pure capitalist economy, If you are unlucky to fall on hard times, or health challenges, and if the person does not have full medicaid insurance, that person life is likely to be cut short. \nDue to lack of access to quality hospital care.\n\nEven, i watched it on CNN/CBS, how most medical insurances in U.s.a, and Canada ars refusing to cover persons with Diabetes.\n\nUsa and Canad has one of the worst homelessness in the developed world, most of them are not drug/alchohol addicts, rather persons with good works, and home owners who had fallen on hard times.\n\nConclusion, wherever God give us in abroad, one should just pray for mercies of God..?

The Same in Europe

Is it not the same Canada it's citizens and immigrants are complaining about how expensive it's becoming with the issue of inflation also? \nNo country is easy\nBe it Europe or the US \nEach has their pros and cons\nFor Europe, just don't be lazy. Be determined to learn the language.

Let's get one thing straight first!!!\nMexicans and there reservation brothers and sisters, are the real, and only!!! North Americans!!!,\nThe rest are immigrants,U.S. citizens ??, not Americans!!!!\nWhite people come from Europe, black from Africa, Asians from Asia,\nEct,etc, those people who are trying to bust in, are central and south native American, you also have thousands of Haitian, African, \nAsian, and European, but, they they never show them.

Am in Europe and happy to here,

I have lived in Europe for years now and the system here is a socialist system (Sweden); whereby you can make just enough to get by, but not to get rich. Thank you for the video as it has valid points my brother.

I'm in Europe, and it's pure truth you just shared. I've never heard of any Ghanaian relocating from US or Canada to Europe, but it's always the other way round

To me you have more advantage to grow in Canada than Europe

Great work of yours BUT I really need to say something to most of u making those videos and the ones that go along. I come from a very civilized country with a lot of education and history but awful economy. ?? I am myself educated but my country’s main salary is 700€/month and a descent one bedroom apt is the same price. There are no jobs no future if u don’t come from a rich fam. I am taking the brave decision to leave my country and loved ones and immigrate to Toronto. I Google ‘moving to Toronto’ and I only see videos that are pointing how awful is to leave in Toronto. Like it’s garbage city! \nHave u ever lived in a country like mine? Have u seen the cost of living and salaries in Europe? What about third world countries?? \nHow can u speak down so much on a place just because u have to hustle to start? Does life owes us an easy effortless life? \nYour POV is very Americanized - I have lived also in the USA for almost a decade. \nDon’t discourage ppl that way. I have high standards but I’m not entitled, I can work and u should be more thankful that u can follow your dreams and live from YouTube in Toronto. People hustle big time u don’t seem to understand so I really can’t engage with that even if it’s well made. \nThank u ?

I follow some UK based nurse Youtubers like Nanelle Griselda and some of them actually bought a house in the UK within one or two years of arriving as nurses or caregivers in the UK. The problem with the UK is that it takes too long to get papers. But these nurses that are recruited from Africa with working visas and jobs waiting are able to open a bank account, build credit and buy a house within a year. In Europe, language is a barrier that makes it hard for people to understand the system plus the immigration problem which makes it hard to make head way ?

Europe can be a transition country then move to the USA or Canada

Everything you said here is true From my own experience it's more like a slave here in eastern Europe. Even as a labourer you have to work like an elephant with very minimal wage.

Nice information Chorkor. I live in the Netherlands ?? but I have not come across any racism. Language barrier is the major issue. \n\nI think Europe can work well for people who don’t want to strain too much heheh ?. You can still have something on the table with a lowest income. We have managed to pay a mortgage with our regular 8-5pm job. The immigration services in ?? are faster than Germany.\n\nThe social system is working for me.

Good & well balanced message.I live in Europe and you hit the nail on the head concerning some of the things you said,especially with this racism issue.

God bless you i have today is my first day to write comments life in Europe for Africa's is sheet, i work in farm in Spain no fix price in a day 40euro 50 euro 35 euro, at the end of the month 1050 euro tax will take, who get documents will take, bus driver will take, at the end it will remain 600 euro after house rent it will remain 300 euros my brother depression wan kill many here

Too much rascism in europe dats no lie.\nI have alot of rascist experience and even my first daughter has been called a nigga in school several time’s and that’s why am planing on moving out of the country

First time commenting in any Platform you spoke the truth no lies.most of the system and their laws was tailored to keep their people in check so the government will be richer than the Citizens most of the immigrants here in Europe are stagnant.

DO YOU KNOW HOW OUR PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING BY PAYING STUDENT LOANS IN CANADA/USA? DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE 100% FREE TUITION FEES IN GERMANY AND THE SCANDINAVIA? YES, THE LANGUAGE IS A BIG ISSUE FOR US IN NON-ENGLISH COUNTRIES IN EUROPE BUT WITH THE LANGUAGE AND THE RIGHT PAPERS YOU CAN MAKE IT AND GO TO AFRICA EASILY FOR YOUR PROJECTS - HOW OFTEN DO YOU/CHOKOR AND YOUR FAMILY FLY TO GHANA? FACE THE TRUTH - LIFE IS NOT EASY AND CHEAP FOR US IN NORTH AMERICA BESIDES OUR CURRENCY IS NOT HIGHER THAN THE EURO AND THE UK/POUND STERLING

yeah europe sucks ??

I'VE NEVER CHALLENGED YOU BUT ON THIS TOPIC, LET THE OGs TALK ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC AS A HOLDER OF CANADIAN/DUTCH/GHANAIAN PASSPORT WHO LIVED AND WORKED IN 11 COUNTRIES ACROSS 3 CONTINENTS - YES THERE'RE MORE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE NORTH AMERICA BUT ALSO IN EUROPE AND THE SCANDINAVIA - DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY STORES ARE OWNED BY AFRICANS IN THE BIJMEER AMSTERDAM? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PROFESSIONALS WE HAVE AT THE CORPORATE LEVEL IN THE UK? THIS IS REALLY NOT YOUR TOPIC - YOU MUST LIVE IN EUROPE TO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES - THERE ARE AFRICANS ALSO MAKING IT IN EUROPE/SCANDINAVIA - WE NEED TO HAVE A PODCAST TO SHARE EXPERIENCES - YOU CAN EASILY BUY PROPERTIES IN USA/CANADA BUT ALSO STAGNANT AS ALL DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL - CONTACT ME AT info@kwamekuewor.com THANKS!

You're absolutely right Europe is not as big as North America, the biggest hurdle for me is the language. They've literally done it in a way that you can't do anything without learning the language and the language ain't easy to learn.

Thank you for this topic I was talking to my sister choice of country to make but she prefer europe because of the easy life over there but let her go and let me japa to Canada

This is a great video and so true.. but I have looked to escape the US, I am more than financially-free and no family in the states becaused they all died. I lived places for months at a time in the world, its also very lonely when you don't speak the local language or are not part of the culture. I lived on many parts of Europe and South America and traveled to 59 countries.. We are not a part of those cultures, it may make more sense to find communities in the US in rural areas that have co-living, co-working spaces..

I’m sure most go to South Africa…that’s the African country that looks more like Europe sans Le Europeans…?

So if South Africans deny other Africans visas bc they are economic migrants, that’s perfectly fine. But if Europe does it, it’s racist ?

Mr Chorkor please how do I get the video on how to apply for job for someone in Europe? Again , I need to speak with you to help clarify some things for me if possible. Thank you. I have a skill and certification.

All Africans, especially young men, should travel to Europe!

I wanted to start with the question of if Africans know that they are increasingly not wanted in Europe? That there is increasing sentiment against immigration and likely no jobs for them? No money for them? Wouldn't it make sense to look within Africa for opportunities?\nBut it seems Africa itself also has no home for these economic migrants, under the economic pressures stated, corruption, mismanagement, etc.

The South African government just cant get there act together, I'm glade that she went to another African country, instead of going to the USA or Europe

Stop helping a select few Africans, and help ALL africans.\nInstead of importing thousands to Europe, go to their countries themselves and send aid.

Can't believe DW correspondent would openly admit that the majority of asylum seekers in South Africa are economic migrants. If she was a DW correspondent anywhere else in Europe, she would be labelled a racist and immediately lose her position. A different kind of privilege.

Lies, lies, lies.\n\nMigrants are coming to Europe because these stupid left wing liberal traitors are using OUR money to give them free houses and free money.

Europe here: Go home!

They should come to Europe

Send them to Europe where these migrants belong to. The EU has accepted millions of Ukrainians refugees and the EU must take these migrants as well . Do not treat refugees and migrant based on color, race, religions and economic status.

most outrageous is gun and lack of healthcare , TIPS, as replacement for wages not bonus rewards; electoral college? best part of usa is cheap internet cell mobile phone, flights to europe asia are way cheaper in usa than canada

I have a cousin in the States. I was shocked at how little he knew about other countries among other things. \n\nThen I vacationed in Hawaii. The newscasts never mentioned anything about what was happening elsewhere in the world (unless it involved the USA in some way. ) Having travelled extensively in the UK & Europe it came as a shock to discover just how insular it is in America. \n\nWhile there I got talking to a girl in one of the shops. Her parents lost their house & everything because of unexpected health issues. I can't even comprehend that. \n\nThe gun culture is another thing I cannot wrap my head around. Some members of my family own guns. They are used only to provide meat for the family and the rest of the time they are locked away safely. Carrying a weapon concealed or openly in day to day life is just crazy. There's been more than 500 mass shootings in the States this year. That's not counting all the other gun violence. Nothing could convince me to live there, and now I won't visit either.

Without lies Islam dies. World need reaction not just condemn.\nY always muslims are migrating illegal migrants, refugees.\nThe biggest threat is the Islamic ideology. Liers will be exposed in this digital nedia.\nTheir is history beyond Palestine.\n They want freebies of Europe, America qnd Australia etc

Your statement about builders cutting corners is completely wrong,builders cant cut corners,we have building inspectors that make sure they dont do that!\nIf your comparing us to europe,europe is so clusterfuked they cant do anything until its measured and is exactly square or it screws with there fucked up heads,just like yours is pretty gal!\nSo if your view of my country is negative ,well go back to Europe,it's so psychologically mentally fornicated,it's a socialist state!

Save USA, South America, Europe,Australia,New Zealand from Asian culture, I am not blaming Indian Culture but after 100 years you will see all white people will vanish and they will tell you how great is Indian/Paki culture than white people because our people (Indian & Paki) don't accept and respect European, American culture, eating habits , dress code I feel very very sorry for white people, because our people should and must accept there culture only ( As you are aware of Politician from Mumbai how they hate North Indian), You may not like my view

If we didnt have idiot trudo & his insane climate policies we would have developed our oil & gas resources & would be exporting from both coasts to help europe get off russian supply & help asia get off dirty coal, lower global energy prices especially domestic reducing mass inflation & we would have billions more for our beloved social programs

Vote for oil protest vedioin Europe

I've had about 8 friends and 2 relatives who have tried life in the USA.\nOne cousin is still in Colorado after moving there with her 2nd husband, an American, over 10 years ago. The rest have come back to Canada and the biggest general impression I get is that it is simply a huge relief to get out of there. That is a huge contrast to the people I know who had tried life in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Europe, Thailand, Japan, VietNam, Australia, and New Zealand: far fewer of them have come back to Canada because they are happy with life there. And the ones who have come back all have things they miss about the countries and most want to go back someday.\n\nMost of the people I know who have come back from the USA are highly critical of the utter lack of a decent health care system in the USA, but for them it was a solvable problem because they had decent jobs and insurance while they were in the USA. What gave them so much relief when they came back to Canada was that during their time in the USA they never felt safe. There is something fundamentally and brutally fucked up about a country where every bank has armed guards, the mall cops are armed, half of the people in your neighbourhood are armed, you're scared to send your children to school, and every time you turn around you see a cop with his hand on his gun.
