You don't get a reward or a claim for car insurance unless you get in accident ffs. If you (who ever feels this way) don't see the benefit of paying these bills, nigeria would love to have you guys back I'm sure. High cost of living? Isn't it the same in Lagos? And there an no amenities? Taxes? The good roads you drive your car on, the hospitals etc, they don't just appear magically - do they? Boring? Make friends, try new sports, travel to new places (within and outside Canada), explore, get a job(so at least you have somewhere to go? Home sick? Grow up or go home - period!! There are minority groups in nigeria too (I come from a minority group in nigeria and its a similar feeling). Nobody moves you to a retirement home (compulsorily) if you have family and your family can care for you.

Immigrants really have to be focused and have an exit strategy in place when they come to these Western world!!! If not, that day in day out vicious cycle will chew them up and spit them out when they are no longer young and useful to the system.

Abeg, those of you that are missing Lagos madness you can come back o...

You started the video with an opinion not a fact. You can In fact gain wealth here. You have access to RRSPs and tax Free Savings accounts to help with Taxea for people earning over 6 figures. No one has tries to take your money, the policies are clear as day. You also have access to the Canadian stock market where they will allow you to keep 50% of your excess and tax the other 50%. Your statement needs way more context and a broader discussion. Stil love the video but we need to state all the facts. Also the mentality of me paying taxes and taking care of people is what causes my home country on Jamaica to be in trouble. Your little tax money ain't taking care of anyone. There are over 23 million people here trust me we are giving cents to initiatives in Canada. Quality of life, Security, Health Care, Children Support, Old Age Pension, access to great jobs if you are will to put in the work and start over. Again we can't come here and expect to just fall in. You just joined a line of thousands of people in your career field who have been fighting to get great job opportunities. You have to fight and you will be okay. Or do what many people did and change your career and you can have a special life here. Obviously nothing is better than home

You guys are looking at it from the mentality of an immigrant, in comparison of where your are coming from.

mam if we come in Canada how much pay hourly

Every country has it own pros and cons. Come to Ireland where you pay high taxes and you still don’t have free medical care if you earn over a certain amount of money and jobs are fewer, cost of living is higher. However a great place to raise children in my opinion and the weather is bearable.

Bia Ada mmadu(my sisters), this is quiet interesting. So Canada is this boring and someone like I is still thinking of relocating? God forbid. Not coming again. Let me look elsewhere.

Really appreciate ur efforts. Sister\nKindly make a video on job market of Canada. \nI mean those people who want to come to Canada. . If they come then will they be able to find a job there ? How much will be the starting salaries and expenses etc . \nThanks a lot

You guys come from shit hole countries and you can't even breathe then you get to Canada and you start acting better

Eh like make the Canada they bored..I am ready to come

Nice nice sis you also come to Canada in 1992 I also come in 92 I was fourteen year that time you are right time flys as fast ❤️❤️

These people should all be banned permanently, never having an opportunity to come back.

great you’re coming to Canada. Will you be doing comedy, or will it be more like your videos?

I don't get why some people expect so much. When you come here learn how to build an igloo, pay the property tax and enjoy just like everyone else

Weldone ladies, but will you rather advice a brother or sister from your country to or not to come to Canada?

habibi come to dubai

Today is better to move to a warm country. Life to too short to be in a freezing place. Immigration in Canada is you come you spend your money and....you go back. Immigration is a business. Money coming from abroad and at the end people leave......Think twice coming in Canada.

What i understand from a lot of people I know who've come here from abroad is that for them, the attractive thing about Canada is political stability, a functioning infrastructure and a lack of massive corruption. there's some pretty disgusting countries out there :(

Bhai if someone wants to come Canada for work and not as a student, then what will be the expenses for that. Plz make a video on that too ❤??

Helo paaji maine apki YouTube videos dekhi Bhaut motivational hai Aur inspiring Bhi . I want to ask that I have completed my 12 and graduation in HRM and meri graduation 2020 mai finish hogyi thi fir maine mba kri lpu se distance and planning to come canada so tell me that konsa course krna chaiye vhn aakr Aur kisme job mil skti hai means lifetime ke liye kya best rhega aur which college which city please help .

Hello, I studied in Europe and grow up in Canada. Born abroad.\n\n1) First, Vancouver is not Canada. Life in Eastern Canada (Quebec and Ontario) is way better. \n\n2) Weather : rain during winter is really a BC thing, the rest of the country : is SNOW and cold for 4-5 months\n\n3) Again, the cost of living is super expensive in Vancouver and Toronto. Here, in Montréal, it’s affordable.\n\n4) The more taxes you pay means you are making good money. 50% of taxes is \n\n5) Canada is beautiful, but if you don’t like our country, why did you came here in the first place ? \n\n6) Covid : Mmm it was maybe extreme, but Canada is one of the country that manages the best the pandemic in the world \n\n7) Rules ? Try coming to South America where I was born. There’s a lot more rules there and good luck for your safety \n\n8) Politic ! We are actually one of the most democratic country in the world. People fighting about politics? Ahahah I grow up here and never saw this ever and I saw the 1995 referendum.\n\n9) Status chasing is a really Vancouver thing, probably Toronto too, but the country is huge.\n\n10) Isolated place, mmm again Vancouver is not Canada. Most of the Canadian population live in East Canada where the majors cities (Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa, Québec) are. It’s true a lot of places are isolated, but it’s a choice living in those areas.

Learn English or French for Quebec before you come here or don’t complain you can’t get a job!

My two applications for PR have been rejected. As it turned out later during federal court hearing, it was by a mistake at the IRCC's side. I had to study and work in Canada for 12 years before becoming a Canadian. It is so frustrating to know some people just get their status illegally. Or even legally - some get their PR as a gift from the government even before coming to Canada.

men, anyone swap passports and houses with me, Hanoi, Vietnam, a commie country, come on

Come to Los Angeles and let’s see how tough you north country Canadians truly are. Watch how fast the cartel or gangs will tear you a new one.

hi there. thanks for all the information you give us through the videos. i have a question. I´m a chef and I live in Spain, do jobs of chefs also come under this program?

Let's not forget Quebec gets over $13 billion a year from Alberta to pay for that francophone entitlement! I think AB is definitely number one, Alberta has a more diversified economy than people give it credit for and the people are way nicer than Quebec! Calgary is known as the big little town where you can meet people so easily unlike the clicky francophones. Coming from a canadian who speaks french.

I'm an Indian, born and brought up in India. In 2019, my parents wanted me to go to Canada through the express entry program. My father had recently sold a property and we had a lumpsum amount of money to show in the bank account for this program. However, when I researched and saw that after a Master's degree in India, and while being paid well according to Indian standards I will have a difficulty finding job there even with 7+ years working in the IT sector. I found out that I might have to work in a restaurant in Canada before I could find a job that would suit my calibre, I was totally under a lot of stress. My family kept pushing, but I finally decided to put the money into buying a property in India. I think it's a better decision. I have maids who come to my place to cook and clean and not the other way around. I will never let my self esteem be hurt because I wanna chase some elusive dream. I think the practical thing is to stay here than go there.\nHowever, I am open to thoughts, correct me if I'm wrong.

Hell mom I need to Come to Canada to work I love Canada very much But I don't know where to start until I get there, but I am a Tanzanian, please tell me mommy

All MUSLIMS PLEASE GO BACK TO ISLAM CONTINENTS AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES WHERE U ARE VALUED AND RESPECTED. PLEASE DONT COME TO WESTERN CULTURE COUNTRIES TO TRY N USE/INFORCE UR ISLAMIC RULE USING the country's freedom of speech and freedom of right.

i have applied 10,000 times and nothing is coming up.

Don't expect too much whenever you wanted to live in other country because frustration comes from great expectations. Thank you for sharing this video.

I've a sister who wants to come there

Ssa ji... I have a 4 year old baby girl... My husband has passed away.... I want to come to Canada with my baby for her future... Can you please guide me ...

Sir asihr u r sitting in a country which have killed the whole native nation and still finding mass graves of children's in churches. Shame on ur excuses. 220 million people lives in Pakistan and things u r mentioning happen in every country. Canada is a member of 5 eyes nation and has killed thousands since ww2 and invading other countries. People like u who have the opportunity to bring some change always run away when time comes bases on false excuses. Just wait and see how islamophobia will caught u in ur safe heaven and I always pray for Muslims and Pakistani around the world. Stay safe coward.

I understand this fully as I came to Uk as a child 60 yrs ago. .. I feel the same way today. These western countries lack sense of community and neighbourhood... and spend most of their lives in loneliness thus leading to depression. 14 years ago my father passed away and I brought his body back to India .. as he loved coming and spending his retirement years back home in India.\nI miss him so much and also have started coming to india every year since his death.I’m also retired now. \nI have come to understand how people from our countries look forward to emigrate to make a better living and earn money without realising the consequences that this will have on our lives. \nThank you so much for this video.?

?Finally, human race on the path of getting extinct.Good video to be compared with my country INDIA. Come and see our Church Station, Mumbai, trains in U.P. Very much socially connected. If you see our HOLI, DEEPAVALI and other festival and compare the same with the above video.

Hapiness is inside of u. I m. Happy in Perú alone n for sure I d be in Canadá or Usa. My sister lives in Usa. It was her dream always living in Usa n she miss her place there when she come 1 month to Perú for vacations. It s true where I m is my paradise or my hell... I pick up.\nI choose where I m is my paradise. :)

This video seems to really capture the reality of a typical America and the narration really crystalizes it. Even though it depicts a less urban setting, the same stillness can be found in cities and suburbs. It’s not what you see on Netflix or in Hollywood where there’s a story to be told and you do see a lot of human interaction from scene to scene. In real life America so many lead an isolated life indoors except for when one has to go to work or school. One explanation for this, however, is that community in America and many societies is not geographically determined. It’s structured around work, school, church, one’s immediate family if there is anyone and other kinds of civic associations. Loneliness really comes in when one does not belong to any of these “communities”. One’s geographical community (in a society like America’s) simply does not or cannot provide a sense of belonging. It provides physical and material comforts but not emotional or social sustenance, which has to come from those other types of associations. And I sense this is not just a Western world phenomenon. I think it’s happening everywhere and simply a fact of life wherever the vast majority of people living in any space have no family ties with one another. In a village or neighborhood setting in a place like India or Africa, you’ll have such liveliness on the streets and among neighbors because a lot of the people there are simply relatives of each other.

Very spot on, I started drinking for the first time in my life after coming to America, I was 30 and the loneliness was depressing me, had dreams of being back home playing soccer with my friends and visiting people I knew. Here you see rich people killing themselves because all the money they have can't buy happiness.

Come to India, you can never feel lonely..........billions of people, streets jammed with traffic, high density population, stray dogs, stray cows, continous honking from vehicles etc......it's a happening place I can tell you, it may seem chaotic at first but India will never feel boring and depressed and to mention each month there are some festivals, celebrations, fares and street foods......India acts like an anti-depressant

I keep telling immigrants this. I want to get away from my own country (Australia). The western countries are so weird now. The only thing I think people could be coming for is the money and products. But I think that is on the way out too. Plus what you earn here quickly goes out the other hand even if you budget well, and its getting worse.....ironically it can be even more difficult to immigrate in the opposite direction...?

get this guy outta here -we can't have this for the next three years we will be completely bankrupted!!! and our kids will be paying for years to come -horrible

Soooo its ALL of our job to curb foreign speculation?!?WTF. No Justin, that is YOUR job. It’s YOUR government that’s been turning a blind eye to foreign real estate “investors” because it conveniently props up the RE market. How anyone can believe a single word that comes out if this Ken-Dolls mouth is beyond me at this point.

Another issue is that some white families have sold off or abandoned their family homes in once vibrant community's because they have refused to live with other people of color who happen to move in. Then black communities build up over say 50 to 75 years a great community, their own churches , schools, day cares, playground, crime watch and near jobs and easy transportation suddenly others with money wish to expand in those same areas. So taxes go up. Fire insurance goes up. Schools are closed down due to so called lack of budgets. Factory's move out farther. And or new higher technologies come in only looking for a few or certain type of trained skilled workers with higher educational degree's. All of these complex events cause the death of a functional great long standing community. By the time others come and say hey, where are the kids, where is the small local business and the great gardens, farmer markets or book clubs, libraries, community workshops, and black church's giving out food? Trust me its not such a simple answer. Many many other forces are at play. Entire sections of the city and rural areas have gone through displacement.

Block parties, cook outs, neighborhood meetings, bus trips to the beaches, weddings and Saturday clean ups were all apart of our past community's. Yes some still exist. However, anytime Blacks in America have demanded equity, justice, education, health rights, human rights, and fair housing, we are met often with a back lash. Suddenly, rents go up. Houses have doubled or tripled in increase. Crime waves have made it almost impossible for people to come out and relax freely. Political changes have also played a major roll. Neighborhoods have been redlined. Even where one goes to vote has been moved. White racism and fear, entire industry's have moved put of key areas. So thete is a natural break down. Neighborhood meets come to a end and different organizations from schools, to planting trees to parking all get affected due to such changes. Local small businesses that knew each family members also close up and leave. Its not a question of oh you have everything you need in your American house. That is not it! Its more complex. The lack of kids playing out front or the older ladies keeping watch have disappeared also due to no rent control policies.

The biggest curse in a man’s life to leave his country behind to chase empty dreams \nWhat shines isn’t most of the times gold \nGuys dont do it I wasn’t listening when I was young \nIt’s kind of irreversible the longer you stay abroad away from your country the harder it gets to ever return back\nYou get inevitably homesick to the bone and loneliness prevails \nOn top of that and mostly important is that having a family in western societies is like jumping from a roof top excepting to come out in one piece, there’s always a chance but the odds are against you by far \nExcellent content
