I had friends both male and female in school , no one india ever questioned them . Its their practise and they even came in school like this .

They will come to your country as refugee and will one day make u a refugee in your own country thats islam my friend!

Well many people unaware of the religious custom might get frightened, it's a real knife after all , people can't be blamed , specially considering what happens US schools.Also having many Sikh friends i know that , it isn't customary for him to carry the knife out of any religious obligation that too in a school. None of my friends do so , they only use it in special occasions like marriages

I live in india and i havent seen any of my sikh friends in schools, colleges and even in my work place carrying a kirpan or knife, i have seen only nihangs or sikh priest carrying them. I think when you move to a foreign land you tend to show your identity aggressively to be different, even muslims in western countries are more radical than here.

I am from India and I never seen my b Sikh friends roaming everywhere with a kirpan . If your in another country respect their culture and rules . Don’t try to show off. The cop was right . He was roaming with a dangerous weapon.

I am really surprised that majority of them dont want to go back to Nigeria. \nHope they will change their mind after few years\nI also live in Canada, i am from Benin Republic, most of my friends here (99%) want to go back in Africa as soon as possible To live and run business.

This is so absurd, I have been friends with Sikhs all my life. They're such amazing people. In US, they're often confused with Muslims. Few years ago, a Sikh police officer Sandeep Dhaliwal was murdered in Texas.

My Sikh friends wear it under the clothes.

Thanks bro.. it’s rare to see Zim you tubers .. Rare! I think Aussie is better because of weather..whereas Canada is brutally ? cold.. but Canada is immi friendly whilst Aussie is very protective and very strict on immi.. good luck with Cold Canada ??

Isnt it supposed to be worn under cloth. If you would carry ka knife(in eyes of foreigners) then definitely its invitation for trouble. I live in punjab and have never seen someone wear a kirpan outside their clothing. See these are kind of people who are creating nuisance in Canada and making it tough for us to go. Thats why hate crime is increasing against ?? in Canada bcs of what i have heard, canadians are one of the post polite and friendly people.

I have friends who are Sikhs, no one shows up wearing that. It is a threat coz he is showing it to the public . He shouldn’t be arrested but asked to not come to campus with such stuff. He has a mental problem. Why would he do that , he did it purposely to get attention lol

Family friends are great asset to get you throughout the process

I have sikh friends and they are very religious. They never carried kripan in college.

bro your friend looks like Badshah.. ???

I have sikh friends , all of them keeps kirpan (knife) touched to skin not fabric ! This dude was flexing , \n\nImagine folks are studying in hall , what x student will think when he sees a knife !

We all miss Nigeria, good food, friends, owambe, but nobody wants to move back to Nigeria, very funny. I enjoyed watching it.\nBy the way, it's my first time here.

Great help, informative and friendly

The story of the Russian guy going back to Russia to avoid taxes didn't age well. I remember watching this video in 2021 and thinking that the higher taxes are worth it because you are essentially buying safety. It doesn't matter if the income tax of your home country is lower if the local currency keeps devaluating, if you can't buy what you want because importing is hard and expensive or if your country is simple just not a safe place to live. Now with the war and the sanctions, your Russian friend must be having a really hard time; borders closed, the ruble is nearly worthless and he's probably trying to flee the country to avoid being drafted, leaving any real estate behind.

I think kirpan isnt an essential part so it shouldnt be carried to an educational institution.. in india also, i have never seen my sikh friends carrying kirpan in schools or colleges.

lol america is a joke\nIn india they are allowed to carry it everywhere and there has never been a single report of crime involving kirpan.\nThe whole point of carrying it outside clothes is to show that its harmless. I had a friend who used to carry it and he told me that most of these kirpans are just for religious purpose and hence not sharp. \nLooks like guns are the new religion in america.\nAlso u cant use it for school shootings?\nAmerica= ?

Ain't no ways I can live that style. I have to go to the stadium and make noise every weekend, drive cars in the streets play music, friends around vists, Monday to Friday is working time.

one of my canadian friends if ready to help me. how can he help me

Nice vlog thank you for sharing keep in touch my friend ❣️

Never left Africa,I am Ugandan, people think it's bad in Africa but I don't think so,I don't have problems,I have friends at university,life is good,plus we have great weather and climate. I am not complaining and I don't think I will ever leave Africa to be honest,I have never felt any racism,I just know it as a word but it has never applied to me,that alone makes me feel as though I am lucky.

I actually saw a family friend who left Nigeria to Canada over 18years ago. Omo.... he wasn't looking fresh oooh\nI won't lie i had to check again to be sure if he wasn't in prison or something. There was no hair on his head sha. If i get a good house in abuja i die in nigeria.

Interesting points. I have friends that have moved out to Canada and they now complain about it for different reasons some of witch what you've mentioned as drawbacks for Australia. Property in Canada is expensive, people work longer hours for less money and the cold weather most of the year (not to mention black ice in winter). Some people have also mentioned facing racism in Canada. Also cities over there are boring/not much to do (that's what I've been told). The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Also, you seem to have lived in one of the most boring and isolated cities in Australia. There's a reason why Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane are more populated than Perth and make the most liveable cities top list every year.

This is the reason why most Asian that come from the upper middle income and high-income countries only came to Canada for citizenship. After that, they go back to their countries to work and live. Especially those that retired. My parent and their friends already bought the property back home, and with the retirement fun they receive here, they have a really good life back home. They are even able to afford their maids. I just feel sorry for the senior that retired here in Canada.

You used Canada ?? to get a passport, nothing to brag about, Canada is a beautiful country the people are tough and friendly, the weather can get cold in winter, sometimes 20 and 30 below zero for weeks, the weather can cull out the weak and the lazy, Canada won’t miss you

Hmmmm I guess it's true.! Different strokes for different folks. I know people from Africa that have come to Canada complaining that their Country is too hard to live in. There's problems all around the world. I tried explaining this to a friend that it is not easy here in Canada they said their Country is Worse.! This person is from Nigeria ?? ?

shortie love to cut off her friend lmaooo

Why ladies I’m one of your new subscribers,, just got this video from a friend and watched to the end… I have searched to see if you did come back with the other video BUT I’m just asking now as I just finished the video,, so if you did make the other video responding to the question please lead me to it.. the question was asked “ DO YOU ( or would you) WANT TO LEAVE CANADA”???\n You said so much because you have experience or heard and or seen so MUCH,,,.. REASONS BEING’ I am planning to move to Canada’…. Please respond soon.. thanks!!

Most Canadians of European heritage understand that those of African or Caribbean heritage will almost never actually like the cold of a Canadian winter. But we sure do, we love snowmobiling, ice hockey, ice fishing, skiing and snowboarding and all things winter. As for the long lines in an emergency department, That's called triage, and it's the same in every developed nation, granted it's a headache and discouraging, but it's the price you pay for free healthcare. I had a kidney stone flare up a few years ago and a friend that was with me drove me to the hospital, I had a morphine shot within 5 minutes of entering and left within an hour, It all depends on how big your boo-boo is that dictates your wait time. Jobs? Yes we have different standards than other country's and need to ensure the applicant is up to Canadian standards, and the last I checked our unemployment rate was around 3.7 %. Unfortunately, Canada has dropped from 9th spot in the world's happiest countries down to 14th, but still way ahead of the US. Oh, and Canadians almost never immigrate to the US, we head there sometimes for a vacation to Florida, but most of us when we have worked a lifetime and are retiring either stay somewhere here or head to Belize or Costa Rica Or portugal where housing and food is much more affordable. So in ending and a small counter to your video title. Reasons to stay in Canada are Freedom, free healthcare, social safety net, tons of winter activities, large job market for motivated individuals, Fair elections where you can vote out a party that you don't like, The peace of mind that you can walk down the street without worrying that you will be shot, robbed, mugged or molested. That's my Canada and I love it.

These two intelligent beautiful very friendly feminine non-cursing fit wife-like woman is enough reason not to leave canada. I'm FBA. I LOVE ALL

You know I had noticed that and I was wondering why. I have a friend who as married to a guy in Ottowa. He left because he got a better job in his field in America than wen he was in Ottowa.

All of things that you mentioned are true and all of them have drastically changed in the past 4 to 10 years with increased immigration. Smaller communities have had prices go up to 3 to 4 times what they were 6 years ago. Growing up here, prices were much lower - there was so much to do - cultural community activities were so much fun. Many Canadians can't go back to their home communities now because the prices have gone up so much. Many Canadians also want to be with their family and friends and not in a home - and do. We travelled all over North America when I was a child, and it was much easier to do then. In summary, I think that many of these things are very recent changes.

No wonder my friend from Canada doesn’t see any essence of going back. He is enjoying life in Kenya, fact that his wife is black and Kenyan. I see them visiting for thanksgiving and that’s it, they always come back to the motherland.

Honestly better to live in your own country ... and make it a better place rather than moving away from family and friends just to build another country and pay taxes.

Car Insurance $550 for the past 5 years. Never had an accident whatsoever. I was just telling my friend I need a refund on my insurance ? \nLet me not even get into the rent. Toronto is the WORST!!!

there is nothing you said that is not true of western lifestyles in general\nI’m in ‘one of the best’ countries In Europe and I swear all your points are the same here\n\nIt may be that our African spirits are designed for way more than this scarcity mindset behind capitalism \n\nA close friend is moving to Canada next week\nI can’t share your video with her cos she’s spent her whole life trying to get in

I truly appreciate this video it's such an eye opener.I have family and friends there and i always say how my sister can't even send me something even now and then.

You guys were spot on with this video. I am Canadian born from Caribbean immigrants and all we've done from jump is work multiple jobs. If you live in Toronto you can't just have one job; even lawyers and engineers have side hustles. My uber drivers are usually tech engineers! Most people usually immigrate to the US after getting their visa because the pay is so much more and the cost of living is lower. An example some jobs I'm looking at in Canada pay $50-$60k base demanding 5 yrs experience with 2-3 wks vacation. In the US the same job pays $75-100k base, unlimited vacation, work from home 2-3 yrs experience! I now live here part time and most of my wealthy friends have moved to the US, Costa Rica or Mexico because the cost of living is too high and it's no longer worth it. No life balance, even working remote you're a slave, the cost of living is outrageous

Be careful watching this video this could be a video paid for by white Canadians that don’t want you coming to the country Hippocrates that brought in thousands of Ukrainian,German,Dutch immigrants mostly ex criminals Think how come none of those peoples are making these videos. My native friend told me to tell every colored immigrant to come here to Canada he’s authorized it.

Hi ladies. These are exactly the same situation here in the UK. I have been living in London since 1986 and surviving over here especially for those just arriving can be so frustrating. I often wonder why so many of our people are still struggling to come and live in these countries. I know you speak about the USA being better however I have a numbers of family and friends living in America and they are complaining about how hard you have to work in order to make ends meet. The answer to that could be the fact that many immigrants especially from Africa don't feel safe in their own home countries and bad leaders who continually fail to provide any opportunities for their youths and citizens. Thanks for sharing this vital information as many people think these western countries are paradise until they arrive and face the bare realities.

You almost brought tears to my eyes, I was born in Montreal, and although I have traveled much, I could never find any place that compares even closely to my city and my beautiful friendly Province of Québec, where everybody is welcome and respected. You picked the right one although none of the others are completely bad. You are invited any time.

Hi thanks a lot for the really helpful infos , I would like to ask about ur doctor friend who have to sit for 4 years school again when she wanted to practice in Canada . May I know what's the reason of it ? I am from malaysia and considering to migrate .

Valid points made, but having live in 2 different countries in 6 years, the points made apply to most countries in the world it all about personal preference, I have friends that left and came back..

We live once and happy we will be only in our own culture among our friends and relatives. After all money makes one confident but happiness is a state of mind

As someone who is from NB, please dont come here. Listen to the hipe.. Drive-thru us. The issue now is people from Ontario have caught on and all we see is Ontario driving up home prices, moving here in droves and then telling their friends about the hidden gem of NB.. Carry on folks , keep on driving by. The secret is ours and we want to keep it that way. NB sucks and you dont want me move to this hidden gem. I mean sucky province.

Nothing really concern me I’m looking for friends in Ontario here
