As a person born and raised in Toronto to Jamaican parents, Mr Aina you did a superb job on this video. Showing the good, the bad and the ugly and it was great. Salute to your Bredrens for hosting you so well. I wish you could have done a winery tour in the Niagara on the Lake area, which is on the way to the Falls. So much to see but always so little time. We hope you come again. There’s even the settlements of the historical Underground Railroad. Maybe try Quebec, it’s beautiful with rich history, particularly Old Quebec City, or even Nova Scotia. So much here. Keep up the great work. ❤
@@TayoAinaFilms and you will see the famous Rockies, which to me, is the most beautiful mountain range in the world. Banff is in the western prairie province of Alberta, Canada and home to the world's greatest rodeo. This takes place in July, would be wonderful if you can see this magnificent event. Please put on your bucket list, Moraine Lake and also Lake Louise. I know you will do your research before coming. Love your vlogs!
no pointing going to Banff or Jasper as just had forest fires . We have lost most of the beauty from over a thousand wildfires out of control the past 5 years from British Columbia and Alberta. Many people are now displaced and many no go zones to visit . Its so sad its been stinking of smoke and in the air the past 3 springs and summers. I cannot go outside and need a hepa filter with fan to clean the air in my home.
The comment about the different vibes depending upon which part of Canada you are is spot on. I’m from Quebec but have lived in BC, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and now Nova Scotia. Each place is different from the other which is amazing
On my visit to Canada, Toronto was so expensive that I decided to rent a car and stay in Bowmanville for the two weeks spent in Canada - it was worth it and cheaper than staying in Toronto. I drove to Niagara Falls and even crossed the border into Buffalo before heading to New York. Nothing can be compared to travelling and seeing things for yourself. However, if one does not have the luxury of time, money, or free movement (due to visas), Tayo Aina is the next best thing - he captures the cities/Countries like no other.
Hastings Street in East Vancouver has turned out to be a lawless land due to substance abuse and homelessness At 11:29 of this video; that’s an BCAS (British Columbia Ambulance Service) truck and it sure looks like Hastings street.
@@gladlawson61 yeah, I guess. But I was more in Oshawa, Courtice, and Ajax. So staying in Bowmanville wasn't a big deal - it was easier to connect the high way to these cities.
Tayo, You’re one reason to thank God for Nigeria. I’ve watched every 1 of your videos from UYO!!! & seen u make millions from the back of a camera, as you grow your cinematography and story telling has evolved from just entertainment to edutainment. You covered Canada better than an Anthony Bourdain would! Thanks for keeping it real & still believing in project Nigeria. For now you are a window to the world for thousands of Nigerians back home. Don’t worry about your million subscribers, your purpose is worth billions of dollars and eventually you would get there, organically and be given the keys to some major cities. Start giving back to your fans and let’s do a sponsored trip together exploring the globe. I’m crazy about Africa for now and after 15 years in diaspora , cant live anywhere outside Lagos!
@@TayoAinaFilms heartfelt yada yada yada. I hope you apologised to the blind guy that called u out on Twitter. Nobody is saying anybody is perfect but common? You're not yet at the apex of your Utuber career, neither is he. So why the pride? I rest my pen cuz I don't even know the guy

This is undoubtedly one of Tayo’s best video. I watched it on my Sony TV and the sharpness & clean editing is unreal. Toronto is indeed a beautiful city. Your story telling skill is out of this world. Kudos!
What if I told you that it's not necessarily because of the quality of your TV? Canada, especially Toronto is undoubtedly really beautiful and the atmosphere's clarity is unmatched in really life. Even if he used iTel to film e go still look like abroad.
It is unless you lived there your whole life, when I was little the city was in a much better state, now rent is so high you can't go more then a block without seeing someone sleeping on the streets because of the crazy cost of living.
Tayo doesn't need petition. Tayo needs people watching his channel to like, subscribe and share. He has put in the work, which is not easy btw. Therefore, folks subscribe, subscribe, subscribe and thank you! very much. No need to turn this into a charity, begging for what should come naturally for Tayo. Subscribe O!
Can someone explain what the benefit is in having millions of subscribers over actual views? Does UA-cam pay more for subscribers? There's a certain African UA-camr who is less articulate and makes much less interesting and much less quality videos than Tayo, but with well more than 1m subscribers. This UA-camr with more than 1m subscribers has less than 100,000 views on average. My question is what counts more? Subscription or views?

One major reason why I love Tayo Aina is that he's so frank, he shears experience and others learn 👍👍👍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍. Thank you Tayo Aina films wish to see you one day
I think the title of this video would be better if the word 'Canada' was replaced with 'Toronto'. Growing up just outside Toronto but now living in Vancouver, I think it's important to note that there is much more to Canada than Toronto. Canada is the second largest country in the world and it is very diverse, in so many ways. So when people in the video talk about their experiences in Canada, I would consider it more their experience in Toronto. Housing is expensive in Canada but once you leave Southern Ontario and the province of Ontario, housing prices are much lower in other parts of the country. Like most countries, the big cities are expensive to live in. And while winter can be cold in many parts of Canada, summers can be very hot, especially in Toronto and Southern Ontario. My mom regularly texts me in June, July and August to tell that the temperature is in the mid 30's C but with the humidity, it is in the 40's C. I hope that Tayo gets to travel to other parts of Canada to see how incredible and different this country is. The west and east coasts of Canada are especially spectacular.
Wow that's interesting…. If you don’t mind, as someone living there, what’s your take on the permanent residency process? Is it still accessible for international students? I’ve been hearing a lot of negative feedback from different sources and would really appreciate an insider’s perspective.
This is quite on point. All the different Canadian provinces have their uniqueness, just like the states in America, and this dictates the migration pattern and general vibes as well. Overall, it will be good to have Tayo in other provinces as well.
As a Nigerian-Canadian, you make me so proud my brother. Your vlogs are refreshing. I love that you captured so much for our people to see for themselves, Canada no be moi moi. Everyone must try to make an honest living, if one will come here, you have to be ready to work and honest living and be content. Everyone is equal here. No “do you know who I am??” 😂😂😂. This place will humble you. I love Canada I no go lie. Tim Hortons for life 😂😂😂😂😂
Great video! Impressive. I love my country. The great news about taxes that wasn't stated very clear is that no one pays on the first 15,000, (you must still file for all kinds of monetary benefits for low income like carbon tax, GST rebates) then after that, the first level of tax is applied. If you make more money, over that first tier because our tax system is progressive you will pay that higher rate for only that amount over, It's not applied to the whole sum. Another way to explain is that your tax rate doesn't suddenly jump to the next level when you are $1 over the tax threshold, it would only be applied to the $1. Hope that clears it up for anyone wondering.
Been in Canada for a few months now and I must say, it’s a huge change! The level is diversity is amazing and I can’t wait to explore as much as I can: the good, the bad and the ugly. Just gearing up for the cold now. Edit: The cost of living is the biggest shock i’m experiencing now, insane! Nice and very informative Tayo! ✊🏾

Thank you Tayo for helping me visit the world through your channel. The way you capture the pictures, engage with locals and explain the places is simply priceless. May God abundantly bless you.
Mr Tayo Aina, just to let you know that you inspire me into content creation. After under-studying you for almost a year, i decided to start and am glad to let you know that in less than two months, i have over 1k subscribers already. Coninsidentally we share the same surname and that is another inspiration for me. Your 1M sub is guaranteed before year end. God bless you and keep up the good works.❤
Great video my brother I've lived in Toronto Canada since I was a year and 10 months I came here in 1977 and I turned 50 years old in March you did a very good job at displaying the different aspects of Toronto so I wanted to take the time to compliment you keep up the great work the video had a nice balance even though there is a lot more to show so maybe you can do a second video at a later date keep up the great work! 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Well done, Tayo! 👏🏽 As someone living in downtown Toronto, I think this is a thorough coverage of our city life. It’s really nice to view these places I see regularly through the eyes of a tourist.😊 I wish I had known about your visit in real time; I would have requested to meet with you.
Good coverage but not thorough. No coverage of the vibrant Summer and Winter festivals (for obvious reasons), plus no mention of the sports scene which is a staple of Toronto culture (hockey, football, baseball, soccer, lacross, etc). However, good coverage!.

@@paulokeke8337it all depends where you are coming from, and your personal situation but yes it is a lot more difficult. What you heard is true. Be patient and wait.
Táyọ̀! This was an immersive experience. I feel really ashamed to say that I since I've been hearing of Niagara falls I've never bothered to check it's location, only to find out that it's just a 5 hour flight from where I stay, one of the perks of watching your videos. In terms of security and safety, if Toronto is that safe, then I must admit that Calgary is even safer because I hear stories from former Toronto dwellers that they feel more relaxed and at peace in Calgary than they were when they lived in Toronto. Here's to 1M subs! Before the year ends...na me first talk am!🎉
@@dt7961 all countries are not equal, so the visa refusal rate is quite low in most Caribbean countries, as these guys won’t over stay in foreign countries.
As a born and raised Torontonian, this was very well done. Cudos to you! Great job, and interesting to see my home city from the fresh eyes of a tourist.
I am so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house in October and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me
I’m looking for something to venture into on a short term basis, I really need to create an alternate source of income, what do you thing I should be buying?
As a proud Canadian and former Torontonian. I’m glad you enjoyed a small bit of our country. You missed out visiting the Niagara region wineries For your friend from Ottawa, he should visit old Quebec City and Montmorency Falls. I hope you get to come back, we’re a huge country and mostly an accepting community. Every region/area is different from the next and unique experiences to be had .
Amazing video as always 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I like the idea of a multicultural city like Toronto. Everyone can live peacefully with less crime and racism. Navigating the taxes may be challenging but as far as the government is putting it to good use and there’s good infrastructure, it’s definitely worth it!
This video is about Toronto and not the rest of Canada. I live in Toronto. You covered only downtown Toronto. There are many different areas of Toronto. There is mid town, uptown, North Toronto and of course east and west. Each area is different. Because it is so multicultural here there are many different ethnic neighborhoods, for example Little Jamaica, Greektown etc. There is also the University of Toronto downtown which is beautiful. We have a huge park called High Park. We have the Harbourfront and Center Island tha you take a ferry to. It has a beach. We even have an area in the east of Toronto that is called the Beaches area. There is a restaurant in midtown in the Manulife building on the 52nd floor. You can see the panorama of Toronto while you eat or have drinks. It;s beautiful. Prices of homes and condos started rising around 2017. Before then the prices of homes were half or less of what they are now. There are a lot of homeless people here. Not only because of high rent but mainly because of mental illness. Before 2017ish Toronto was a totally different place. Less crime and homelessness. It has changed a lot. In the summer there are so many outdoor events. Many cultural ones.
Agree. When he mentioned parks, I’m surprised he didn’t go to High Park. He also only focused on downtown. Tbf, it’s his first time visiting and most of the people he met here are new to the country so he won’t be able to cover the city effectively. Nice video regardless.
Your coverage of Canada 🇨🇦 is absolutely amazing, it’s truly a country of diversities and tolerance. I’ve been here for over a decade now and you brought places I’ve been to in my phone…….. Thank you 😊😅😂
Well done video i have been living here over 41yrs coming from Guyana 🇬🇾 first was very hard but like any other place where you live you have to get up get and push forward, anyway it was one of my best video on UA-cam keep them coming really enjoy God' bless 🙌 👍
Great job! There are so many places to visit but not enough time. Next time check out the Distillery District, Yorkville, Mimico, Liberty Village, King West, Queen West Concord Place, Beaches, Midtown, etc.
Gloria here Tayo, from New Zealand! Thankyou so much for taking me on a most enjoyable trip to Toronto in Canada! I loved just tagging along with you as you experienced so many fascinating aspects of Toronto, not only the central city, buildings and people, but some of the foods as well, it was hugely educational, but in a fun and exhilarating and exciting way! Those dare devil rides so high up were fantastic, and seeing you walking over that glass in that once highest in the world building was scary as! Your travel films get better and better, they are of such high quality, and keep me fully engaged to the end. And I must say I learnt, thanks you, that Niagara and Niagara Falls are really near Toronto, and you showcased them beautifully. I hope the Canadian Travel Promotion government department sponsor you in future, to showcase so much more that Canada has to offer. I can't wait for the next film that you drop Tayo, you are the best in your field, honestly! 😇👌
I cant believe you were in my city and I didn't even know!! You were even close to my hood hahah. This video made me fall in love with Tdot again. It's so easy to get bogged down by expensive life hehe. I personally had to stop going to Niagara Falls coz too commercialised lol I know I know. It is because I have Mosi a Tunya which is more majestic and has been left untouched. You probably visited when it was drought season. They call it the smoke that thunders for a reason. Thank you for coming, having fun and experiencing the Canadian way of life (well a slice of it, because Canadian provinces are all very vastly different). Most importantly, thank you for giving me that feeling of pride again. It was gone because of this homelessness issue. Even if you yourself aren't unhoused, it's difficult to see people living that way and infrustructure going down. COVID tripled rents and food prices, pushing people out into the streets and new comers being caught up in this madness. Hopefully it will get better. PS it's still hot here. We are not wearing coats yet and it isn't below zero yet. Be blessed and continue to fly!!
I'm just literally astonished how I'm able to know different places in the world today just by watching ya channel ❤. Tayo, you are doing great 👍🏼 and i will continue watching this channel till i JAPA my own 😂😂😂 to the world in reality. I pray for safe journeys as you tour round the world.
As an immigrant, your first decision should be to invest and create wealth. Still, many people fail to take advantage of this information because they are trying to make quick money and end up losing it all.
I agree, just because the market presents opportunities doesn't mean we should jump in headfirst. For this reason, we must seek appropriate guidance or, alternatively, seek advice from certified strategists.
You are right! I have been using a fin market expert for two years and own a diversified 7 figure stock investment portfolio. Currently, my portfolio is worth over $1 million.
Loving the format! Tayo is always both respectful and critical at the same time! It still makes me want to travel the world with this perspective on things you don’t see in mainstream media!
11:50 Your friend's comment about investors owning lots of rental property and how it relates to the housing situation is spot on. This is a really nice video about Toronto (maybe not Canada as a whole). Overall, enjoyed it.
This is a great video. I was at the Niagara fall before, nice place to visit too but I didn’t explore too much. I was visiting for a wedding from the USA. Thanks for sharing your experience.
[4:30] I hear this all the time, we're all immigrants there's no real Canadian, but thats not true. I can trace my European roots back 350 years before Canada or the United States even existed as we know it today, and I'm also part First Nations so I consider myself 100% Canadian. Nice video so far btw. The best thing about Toronto is the food. Every cuisine imaginable, and typically of very high quality.
Bro nah your job to travel and explore beautiful places you won't expect your guys who came to work and make a living to be doing so.. and Moreover everyone has there priority.. Anyways keep up the good job man!! Love you ❤️
You are undoubtedly the best African content creator in my books. A great storyteller for that matter. I am proud to be a core fan of yours. Much love from Ghana 🇬🇭. It's my wish for you to hit 1 million subscription base sooner than later.
Canada has been unlivable for me, and after 15 years I'm leaving to the 3rd world for a simpler life. Once the honeymoon phase boils off, you'll see Canada for what it is... A place where it's impossible to dream of even the bare minimums in life - a house, a family / child (being too busy working and surviving), and long term leverage (being able to save). This is especially true if you fall in the category of someone who: 1) has no generational wealth; 2) single income household (unmarried); 3) no family / friends to split costs, support, and help when in need. At the end of the day all the infrastructure, cleanliness, etc, means nothing if you simply existing on this planet is costing you precious time, money, and sanity. I'd rather live in an under-developed place where my money takes me far, gives me leverage, and buys me time to simply live out my finite existence in peace, without the crushing financial strain leading to a culture of constant restlessness and hustling. Canada could've been great... But if rents going up 220% in 7 years under the liberals with a 20% year-on-year rise doesn't raise sirens in your head, you got blindfolds / earplugs on.
Nice, Tayo. Never heard of you until yesterday when my wife registered me for your webinar. Your work is very very good. Never a dull moment with you. Thanks for adding flavour to showcase the world some of us have not been to. I'm also a filmmaker though focused on humanitarian documentaries since 2004. I will be starting a new UA-cam Channel very very soon. I will surely implement all your tips from the webinar. Thanks for your help. And by the way...I too have been an UBER driver for about 3 years!

For the past few years I only go to Toronto once/yr. But whenever I go I love it.Weather I'm sightseeing on my own or with a friend, I really enjoy it.😀 Just watching this video makes me 😏

@@paulokeke8337 I'm really not the best to give advice on this but what I'll say is, regardless of the negatives out there it is still one of the best and easiest ways to get. Just that alot of changes are going on so one needs to make proper diligence on what and what to do so you don't waste your time and money and also the most important thing is good resource because alot of fake news are out there so always follow trusted sources

Everyone must try to make an honest living, if one will come here, you have to be ready to work and honest living and be content. Everyone is equal here. No “do you know who I am??” 😂😂😂. This place will humble you. I love Canada I no go lie. Tim Hortons for life 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahaha. Do you know who am l African mentality. Very sad Ada
Great video! Impressive. I love my country. The great news about taxes that wasn't stated very clear is that no one pays on the first 15,000, (you must still file for all kinds of monetary benefits for low income like carbon tax, GST rebates) then after that, the first level of tax is applied. If you make more money, over that first tier because our tax system is progressive you will pay that higher rate for only that amount over, It's not applied to the whole sum. Another way to explain is that your tax rate doesn't suddenly jump to the next level when you are $1 over the tax threshold, it would only be applied to the $1. Hope that clears it up for anyone wondering.
Thanks for saying this, his friend on the balcony misunderstands the nature of the tax system
A video i didnt want it to end.
Glad for the opportunity given to reside in this country
Me too! I’m feeling more blessed and privileged watching it from his lens
Seeing a fellow Nigerian living his best life makes me feel happy
Good to hear
Been in Canada for a few months now and I must say, it’s a huge change! The level is diversity is amazing and I can’t wait to explore as much as I can: the good, the bad and the ugly. Just gearing up for the cold now.
Edit: The cost of living is the biggest shock i’m experiencing now, insane!
Nice and very informative Tayo! ✊🏾
Until a drug addict chase you on a subway lol, you’re still in a honeymoon phase. I’m going back to Africa, Canada sucks.
diversified but not united
Hey, If you don’t mind, as someone living there, what’s your take on the permanent residency process? Is it still accessible for international students? I’ve been hearing a lot of negative feedback from different sources and would really appreciate an insider’s perspective.
Thank you Tayo for helping me visit the world through your channel. The way you capture the pictures, engage with locals and explain the places is simply priceless. May God abundantly bless you.
I am the heart of Black Canada, the biggest story is yet to be told…I am a born Canadian of a Jamaican and Nigerian parents🇯🇲🇳🇬🇨🇦….
Mr Tayo Aina, just to let you know that you inspire me into content creation. After under-studying you for almost a year, i decided to start and am glad to let you know that in less than two months, i have over 1k subscribers already.
Coninsidentally we share the same surname and that is another inspiration for me.
Your 1M sub is guaranteed before year end. God bless you and keep up the good works.❤
Great video my brother I've lived in Toronto Canada since I was a year and 10 months I came here in 1977 and I turned 50 years old in March you did a very good job at displaying the different aspects of Toronto so I wanted to take the time to compliment you keep up the great work the video had a nice balance even though there is a lot more to show so maybe you can do a second video at a later date keep up the great work! 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Well done, Tayo! 👏🏽 As someone living in downtown Toronto, I think this is a thorough coverage of our city life. It’s really nice to view these places I see regularly through the eyes of a tourist.😊 I wish I had known about your visit in real time; I would have requested to meet with you.
Good coverage but not thorough. No coverage of the vibrant Summer and Winter festivals (for obvious reasons), plus no mention of the sports scene which is a staple of Toronto culture (hockey, football, baseball, soccer, lacross, etc). However, good coverage!.

@@paulokeke8337it all depends where you are coming from, and your personal situation but yes it is a lot more difficult. What you heard is true. Be patient and wait.
@@paulokeke8337a student can still haave permanent residency.make sure program you are studying is eligible
Táyọ̀! This was an immersive experience. I feel really ashamed to say that I since I've been hearing of Niagara falls I've never bothered to check it's location, only to find out that it's just a 5 hour flight from where I stay, one of the perks of watching your videos.
In terms of security and safety, if Toronto is that safe, then I must admit that Calgary is even safer because I hear stories from former Toronto dwellers that they feel more relaxed and at peace in Calgary than they were when they lived in Toronto.
Here's to 1M subs! Before the year ends...na me first talk am!🎉
Your St. Kitt and Nevis passport is really a game changer, u can be anywhere u want to be and when u want to be.
Very powerful passport
It’s a good passport but his trip to Canada wasn’t visa free. Same to the US.
@@dt7961 all countries are not equal, so the visa refusal rate is quite low in most Caribbean countries, as these guys won’t over stay in foreign countries.
@@RB-zr5su Oh I agree. I’m just highlighting that for this particular trip, he still had to go through the visa process (unless he had a US visa).
Guys let’s get Tayo to 1m subs.. he is doing an incredible job.
As a born and raised Torontonian, this was very well done. Cudos to you! Great job, and interesting to see my home city from the fresh eyes of a tourist.
Your filming and storytelling is exceptional. I feel proud as a Nigerian and I'm officially hooked to your videos 🎉
Thank you for the experience that you showed about 🇨🇦 . Beautiful
I am so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house in October and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me
I'm so happy for you Sarah
I’m looking for something to venture into on a short term basis, I really need to create an alternate source of income, what do you thing I should be buying?

you are the first person i have seen who has actually tried going to Canada and its amazing
As a proud Canadian and former Torontonian. I’m glad you enjoyed a small bit of our country.
You missed out visiting the Niagara region wineries
For your friend from Ottawa, he should visit old Quebec City and Montmorency Falls.
I hope you get to come back, we’re a huge country and mostly an accepting community. Every region/area is different from the next and unique experiences to be had .
So lovely to hear ❤❤❤
Amazing video as always 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I like the idea of a multicultural city like Toronto. Everyone can live peacefully with less crime and racism. Navigating the taxes may be challenging but as far as the government is putting it to good use and there’s good infrastructure, it’s definitely worth it!
This video is about Toronto and not the rest of Canada. I live in Toronto. You covered only downtown Toronto. There are many different areas of Toronto. There is mid town, uptown, North Toronto and of course east and west. Each area is different. Because it is so multicultural here there are many different ethnic neighborhoods, for example Little Jamaica, Greektown etc. There is also the University of Toronto downtown which is beautiful. We have a huge park called High Park. We have the Harbourfront and Center Island tha you take a ferry to. It has a beach. We even have an area in the east of Toronto that is called the Beaches area. There is a restaurant in midtown in the Manulife building on the 52nd floor. You can see the panorama of Toronto while you eat or have drinks. It;s beautiful. Prices of homes and condos started rising around 2017. Before then the prices of homes were half or less of what they are now. There are a lot of homeless people here. Not only because of high rent but mainly because of mental illness. Before 2017ish Toronto was a totally different place. Less crime and homelessness. It has changed a lot. In the summer there are so many outdoor events. Many cultural ones.
Agree. When he mentioned parks, I’m surprised he didn’t go to High Park. He also only focused on downtown. Tbf, it’s his first time visiting and most of the people he met here are new to the country so he won’t be able to cover the city effectively. Nice video regardless.
Your coverage of Canada 🇨🇦 is absolutely amazing, it’s truly a country of diversities and tolerance. I’ve been here for over a decade now and you brought places I’ve been to in my phone…….. Thank you 😊😅😂
Thank you for showing Canada to the world
Downtown Toronto is not Canada ! Sorry to burst your bubble 🙄
Well done video i have been living here over 41yrs coming from Guyana 🇬🇾 first was very hard but like any other place where you live you have to get up get and push forward, anyway it was one of my best video on UA-cam keep them coming really enjoy God' bless 🙌 👍
Great job! There are so many places to visit but not enough time. Next time check out the Distillery District, Yorkville, Mimico, Liberty Village, King West, Queen West Concord Place, Beaches, Midtown, etc.
I’m from Toronto and I really enjoyed your video, it’s refreshing
Gloria here Tayo, from New Zealand! Thankyou so much for taking me on a most enjoyable trip to Toronto in Canada! I loved just tagging along with you as you experienced so many fascinating aspects of Toronto, not only the central city, buildings and people, but some of the foods as well, it was hugely educational, but in a fun and exhilarating and exciting way! Those dare devil rides so high up were fantastic, and seeing you walking over that glass in that once highest in the world building was scary as! Your travel films get better and better, they are of such high quality, and keep me fully engaged to the end. And I must say I learnt, thanks you, that Niagara and Niagara Falls are really near Toronto, and you showcased them beautifully. I hope the Canadian Travel Promotion government department sponsor you in future, to showcase so much more that Canada has to offer. I can't wait for the next film that you drop Tayo, you are the best in your field, honestly! 😇👌
I'm happy to be in Canada virtually. Most cost-effective trips on this channel 😊
I cant believe you were in my city and I didn't even know!! You were even close to my hood hahah. This video made me fall in love with Tdot again. It's so easy to get bogged down by expensive life hehe. I personally had to stop going to Niagara Falls coz too commercialised lol I know I know. It is because I have Mosi a Tunya which is more majestic and has been left untouched. You probably visited when it was drought season. They call it the smoke that thunders for a reason. Thank you for coming, having fun and experiencing the Canadian way of life (well a slice of it, because Canadian provinces are all very vastly different). Most importantly, thank you for giving me that feeling of pride again. It was gone because of this homelessness issue. Even if you yourself aren't unhoused, it's difficult to see people living that way and infrustructure going down. COVID tripled rents and food prices, pushing people out into the streets and new comers being caught up in this madness. Hopefully it will get better. PS it's still hot here. We are not wearing coats yet and it isn't below zero yet. Be blessed and continue to fly!!
I'm just literally astonished how I'm able to know different places in the world today just by watching ya channel ❤.
Tayo, you are doing great 👍🏼 and i will continue watching this channel till i JAPA my own 😂😂😂 to the world in reality.
I pray for safe journeys as you tour round the world.
As an immigrant, your first decision should be to invest and create wealth. Still, many people fail to take advantage of this information because they are trying to make quick money and end up losing it all.
I agree, just because the market presents opportunities doesn't mean we should jump in headfirst. For this reason, we must seek appropriate guidance or, alternatively, seek advice from certified strategists.
You are right! I have been using a fin market expert for two years and own a diversified 7 figure stock investment portfolio. Currently, my portfolio is worth over $1 million.
I'm glad I stumbled upon this comment, please, who is the consultant who assists you?

Tayo’s story telling is so impeccable!
It’s feels like I just watched a very wholesome movie❤️
Nobody does it like Tayo🙌🏾

Africans are so insecure😂, nowhere is perfect
Loving the format! Tayo is always both respectful and critical at the same time! It still makes me want to travel the world with this perspective on things you don’t see in mainstream media!

11:50 Your friend's comment about investors owning lots of rental property and how it relates to the housing situation is spot on. This is a really nice video about Toronto (maybe not Canada as a whole). Overall, enjoyed it.
Remember, this is the video that will mark one million subscribers. What a journey!
Thanks for the tour looks very nice
Always thought I would visit.
Love Niagara Falls, but from Canada....😲😳
So beautiful......🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Poutine is French fries with gravy and cheese curds. French fries or chips.
This is a great video. I was at the Niagara fall before, nice place to visit too but I didn’t explore too much. I was visiting for a wedding from the USA. Thanks for sharing your experience.
[4:30] I hear this all the time, we're all immigrants there's no real Canadian, but thats not true. I can trace my European roots back 350 years before Canada or the United States even existed as we know it today, and I'm also part First Nations so I consider myself 100% Canadian. Nice video so far btw. The best thing about Toronto is the food. Every cuisine imaginable, and typically of very high quality.
For those who know. We know that First Nations are true Canadians.
Tayo you're a very good storyteller. It is so easy watching your videos.
Bro nah your job to travel and explore beautiful places you won't expect your guys who came to work and make a living to be doing so.. and Moreover everyone has there priority.. Anyways keep up the good job man!! Love you ❤️
Tayo i really appreciate your honesty and thanks for taking me round the world free of charge and even to my birth place in the west indies
Love your vids broo!!!
Can't wait to watch this one also🔥🔥
You are undoubtedly the best African content creator in my books. A great storyteller for that matter. I am proud to be a core fan of yours. Much love from Ghana 🇬🇭. It's my wish for you to hit 1 million subscription base sooner than later.
Canada has been unlivable for me, and after 15 years I'm leaving to the 3rd world for a simpler life. Once the honeymoon phase boils off, you'll see Canada for what it is... A place where it's impossible to dream of even the bare minimums in life - a house, a family / child (being too busy working and surviving), and long term leverage (being able to save). This is especially true if you fall in the category of someone who:
1) has no generational wealth;
2) single income household (unmarried);
3) no family / friends to split costs, support, and help when in need.
At the end of the day all the infrastructure, cleanliness, etc, means nothing if you simply existing on this planet is costing you precious time, money, and sanity. I'd rather live in an under-developed place where my money takes me far, gives me leverage, and buys me time to simply live out my finite existence in peace, without the crushing financial strain leading to a culture of constant restlessness and hustling. Canada could've been great... But if rents going up 220% in 7 years under the liberals with a 20% year-on-year rise doesn't raise sirens in your head, you got blindfolds / earplugs on.
With you video, I have experience Canada. It is just for me to come physically. Thank you Tayo
Well done, Tayo! This is a maasterpiece!
Nice, Tayo. Never heard of you until yesterday when my wife registered me for your webinar. Your work is very very good. Never a dull moment with you. Thanks for adding flavour to showcase the world some of us have not been to. I'm also a filmmaker though focused on humanitarian documentaries since 2004. I will be starting a new UA-cam Channel very very soon. I will surely implement all your tips from the webinar. Thanks for your help. And by the way...I too have been an UBER driver for about 3 years!
I live in toronto...this was really balanced and well done . Thank u
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tayo please come to Vancouver! Nature here is top notch.
much love from USA Tayo, love seeing your perspective for things
Please come back and visit each province. Each will impress. I promise.

@paulokeke8337 it is even better this way. At least now you'll not have to compete alot with other international students for pr
As a Russian living in Toronto for over 20 years I found this documentary perfectly sums Toronto . Thank you so much for making such good content hope you come and visit again soon!
One thing I like about you is that you are factual and good at storytelling.
Pretty accurate depiction of Toronto.
I haven't been to Toronto, Canada, but I have been there through the view in content of your video
That pink hoodie looks good on you, Tayo. ❤
For the past few years I only go to Toronto once/yr. But whenever I go I love it.Weather I'm sightseeing on my own or with a friend, I really enjoy it.😀 Just watching this video makes me 😏
You did a fantastic job at showing my beautiful city 🙏🏻
Yooo you finally came to Canada and most especially you did a video on something I've been trying to figure out. Yooo this man really thinks ahead. Hopefully I get to meet you some day

@@paulokeke8337 I'm really not the best to give advice on this but what I'll say is, regardless of the negatives out there it is still one of the best and easiest ways to get. Just that alot of changes are going on so one needs to make proper diligence on what and what to do so you don't waste your time and money and also the most important thing is good resource because alot of fake news are out there so always follow trusted sources
Thanks for sharing this vlog Tayo I really enjoyed watching 😊
Nigerians are true go getters

Thank you for such a fair assessment of my city. And for sharing your adventures.
Tayo you have made me extremely happy for showing my family the homeless people in the West, thank u. Next do the homeless in the UK and Netherlands i would like to show my people in TSHWANE.
Canada has changed so much since justin BLACKFACE took office. It's so SAD to see how much Canada has changed.
Very very true, and not in the right direction
