Part 2 - Untold Truth About Why People Are Leaving Canada 👉🏽 ua-cam.com/video/8QtqwSt-fVw/v-deo.html
so how do i come over i am a nigerian living in dubai
@@paulefe5182 Don't come, have you heard how the reality here is not good. Go back to Nigeria.
I LOVE IT! I am a born and raised Canadian and you two have really nailed it! I watched your video while having my morning break and it was excellent! Yes, it is difficult to get a job here, so much paperwork and red tape - probably due to heavy employment regulation making everyone's life difficult - both the employers and the job seekers.
I am a former business owner and I cannot agree more about your statements around "Canada limits you", "Canada doesn't want you to be rich", "Canada doesn't encourage business". This is my experience, however, many Canadians would be hurt by these statements, they don't want to believe them and they will defend the heavy taxation and regulation here. Canadians are defensive about comparison to the USA and they feel that life is superior here, north of the border. I have friends that are in business that have moved to the USA and they would NEVER return and try to run a business in Canada after experiencing the USA. Canada does limit your success and financial wealth, there is no doubt.
There was a recent Financial Post article that listed products/services in Canada that were the most expensive in the world - housing, travel, cell phones etc. So, I agree as well that we have higher costs of living here.
I grew up in small town Canada, 5 hours' drive from a city. The friendliness/snobbery has a city/rural divide. I think city living is more unfriendly than a small town.
Is living in Canada worth the hype? I am not sure! I'm used to it, and don't know a lot else.
Great video and content, and great energy!
Wow learnt something today
No matter what situation,am coming to Canada with my God I will mount mountains & I will jump over walls
Love your perspective. The most poignant and accurate description to date about Canada!
My God. Tinuola has stolen my heart. What an absolute beauty..
6 minutes into your video and i already subbed. Been here for just 5 days and everything you've said so far I have experienced it. I'll never get used to a car waiting for me to cross the road though, Never. I'm always so scared especially when I (the pedestrian) have right of way and there are 10 cars coming, they all stop in a single file until you have crossed. you wouldn't dare imagine that in Nigeria.
Great video ladies, hope to see more!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Welcome to the best channel 😊
Well said girls... Honest and realistic review!...
LOL! Thanks a lot for this video, I thought that it was me, but you confirmed a lot things I noticed about living here. And I say this a someone from a Jamaican family who was born here. Point number one is spot on, Canadians like to think of themselves as nice and friendly. But it's more being polite than anything else.
ASANTE (Thankyou),PROUD OF YOU for sharing your lives, from Nairobi with lots of love !!
God knows you've been my number one hope giver.......I always tell them about you and how I always get motivated from you
This was spot on! You guys are the friends I wish I had. I can relate so much!
My expectations vs reality in dating, fashion, work, friendship building, social life, you guys hit the nail on the head.
im just preparing to come over i stayed in dubai so im thinking of migrating
I am moving to canada soon. this is so helpfull. my husband already told me what you mentioned here. I think i won't be confused when i get there. i already minimized my expectation.
Ladies! your charisma and the video are just brilliant. From your description and experience Canada remainds me of Scandinavia and Switzerland.
Good for you ladies
Speaking up before others get stuck here.
Really good one Ladies, love it!!!
Thanks for watching
God bless, keep doing the great work.
You guys are on point. ❤❤❤. I'm coming from 🇯🇲
Amazing ladles. Great content
Funny enuff, i could relate and laugh at the same time, every single statement you made is so true......you were on point.
I really love your radiant smile and the positive energy you give off
thanks b☺️
Thanks for sharing this insightful experiences, am having a rethink of immigration from this narrative stories.
I will still encourage you to immigrate regardless
Omo it’s always like that when you move to a new country,my trip to America was boring till I met familiy ,the best place and the most exciting place to live in my opinion is the Uk 🇬🇧 London to be specific
This had me cracking up. I live in the Northwest. I have visited Canada many times. Not sure if I would move there now 👏👏👏❣️
Loving your videos..Full of content and hope...hope yo see you soon
Love the honesty
First ❤️
Thank you very much it's an eye opener
It is bull . All over Canada is different. Do what you want but I live in Canada and it is a good country.
Cuties 😍. Nice video!
Thank you! 🤗
Yes, is true. I used to live in East York and to get my first IT Job took me almost 5 months. Now, my advice to people who wants to go to Canada 🍁, have 5 plus certifications, Professianal courses on top of your qualification if you don't want to do the low skill job like factories etc. You better driver, and if you got a higher category licence better. This will help bypass, silly barriers and jump straight to an opportunity, sometimes it is not that you not good at all, the truth is the corporate companies you will apply they are top, but they re cheap labour, they want to see if your equiped enough to be a slave that carries 3 peoples Job roles.
Life is not about amassing money for yourself. What matters is for you to be able to pay your bills and live a comfortable life. If you are lucky to be super rich, good for you .Expectation of more wealth is the reason African countries are riddled with corruption and fraud. Do your work, pay your tax and get value for the tax paid is enough as far as I am concerned. A country where you pay tax but still have to install your own inverter to get electricity, sink borehole to get water and still pay big school fees but without value for it but instead strike and strike every now and then. You only know when you enter school but can’t guarantee your graduation date. Peaceful and comfortable life is good for me. Life is not about eating and drinking alone. Canada, here I come.
Thank you. Issue is with our level of orientation and education about the essence of life. Why is it that more Nigerians achieve the dreams in foreign lands than they will do in Nigeria. Hmnnn my beautiful ladies here are representative of the present Nigeria youths
Life is about what the person w/their life wants to make it about because it's their decision since nobody else takes care of them financially.
Young people are adventurous. They want to see the world outside of their parents' environment that they didn't chose to live in and that's a good thing because it shows drive and independence. The living at home until you get married isn't exciting or adventureous. Live your life on your terms is the new norm. Parents and family members want way too much power over the young people. Leave them alone already. If you raised them right, then you've done your job well and should trust that they'll make the right decicions on their own. They're not your property.
@@johndear1592 you’ve said it all
Well said 👌👏
Thanks for the information
I had to pause the video to drop this comment- your makeup is giving Rita Dominic and I absolutely love it!!😍😍
hehe *blushing*
This is so spot on, tell them they will have to sell food at Rogers when sapa is knocking and no real job, the housing is just too expensive too.
you nailed it girl! people are so scared to talk to strangers there. also i realized that everyone sticks to their own community/race too. i always see indian immigrants only hang out with other indian immigrants, asians with asians, africans with africans, canadians with canadians,.. but i think eventually after people live there for a couple years and become more integrated into society there will be more mixed friend groups!
Yes, it does take conscious effort to open up to other communities
What planet do you live on. Canada 🇨🇦 is not like that.
Thankyou for sharing your perspectives and experiences, catch some love from Nairobi !!
If you attend church you will see more diverse group probably.
@@WhizQueen meanwhile, i feel like i have no friends of the same ethnic background as me. maybe that's why I don't have any real friend group, i just hang out with people here and there. i never realized people stuck mostly to their own ethnic group here, i wonder if that's more of a thing with recent immigrants than people who grew up here.
Nice video, some points you guys mentioned, I experienced in the US. But for diversity I think it depends on your school. I don’t have a lot of African friends since I went to a white school, most of my friends are from different countries. Also, my work colleagues are all foreigners. Lol
so a lot of bad things have been said about Canada. So it will be nice to tell us the good things about the country.
There must be positives... but I will need extra time to think and find them...
@@alfern1770if talking too much negative aspects of Canada then I think by this time you should have move to a different country. Don't forget that nowhere cool. Some countries are worse than Canada but still people are making it. Just recently I was told about UK but alot of my health care workers who are friends are still moving to that country. All is about the mind set.
God bless you. Am even surprised upon all the bad side of the country they are still living there. By this time there should have been migration to another country. Every province and it challenges.
It is all about programming in the system and everyone is like birds of the same feathers that the way it is life will never be the same as you thought from Africa.
True, it is very cold in Canada, the weather too
In Canda Spring Summer and Fall is nice but alot of people like winter. Their is Skating, Hockey, Skiing. Tobogganing. Snowmobiling. Ice fishing. Hiking. And much more. Alot of Canadians like winter. 👍 you have to dress for it. Alot of Canadians like it when it snows on Xmas day. The north part of the states get the same weather. I know alot of people from all over the world that say they love it in Canada 🇨🇦.
Very good. From a Canadian.
i love this
Good morning, thanks for your precious advice! I learnt a lot through your videos. Keep doing this, you ladies are very talented! God bless you. 🙏🏼🤍
wow.. thank you very much ladies.. you opened my eyes ..seriously
You just gained a subscriber. I love your content!
I was going to apply through PNP but i am okay now....thank god i found this one lol🤣 god bless you gals for this gold info😇

Tinuola just curious why you moved from USA to Canada
@@hannahebegboniehos2060 family
Good information!
@@Tinuola US or Canada which do you think is better
France Style European styles...
Thanks for this kind a videos...
I will no go I think...
Namaste Haribol Asewe
I wish I had watched this video and actually believe what you guys say. I moved here giving up my well paying job and struggling here. Everything you said was true. I wish I had known earlier. Prior to entering you always think about the American dream
Nice content. It is also an eye opener for one not to limit himself or herself to only Canada in the case of dating.
totally!!
What are you worried about dating in Canada 🇨🇦. It the same as any were. What do you think 🤔 people do. They get out. Not everyone needs computers and cell phones for dating 🙄. But Canada has that. Same as the States. The only difference is Canada's money 💰 looks different. Canada and USA politicians are different too. Basically the same. People worry to much about dating. If you want to meet some one maybe go out with some friends and have a good time but don't worry about it.
Omg yall are so cute.. I hope I get to see you all one day.. Im coming 3/23
So when I move to Canada Im going to br lonely? 😥
Likewise 🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing. Much love form here🥰
Thanks for watching ☺️
Thanks for information
So nice of you
We are multicultural in name only. It also makes sense not to interact with other races and cultures. Less chance of offending or being offended.
Hi whizqueen, you spoke about it not being easy to get professional jobs, but what about working with skills such as photography, music etc.
You are really teaching us good things thank you keep it up
It's my pleasure
Can i connect with you on whatsap
Thanks for sharing your expérience..
The fun here suck😒😒
Thanks for Sharing
Thanks for watching!
@@WhizQueen You are welcome babe💚❤️🧡
All about making your life Comfortable...hahahahhaa you guys super oooooh
That's good as long I can live in peace and away from. Covid
In spite of growing problems in Canada and the USA, it is still better than living in Nigeria, from what we are hearing !
You got that Wright. Canada 🇨🇦 is better then most country's. People are just jealous. To bad so 😔sad.
I disagree with you. If not for bad leadership and leaders no country in the entire world is a sweet as Nigeria. If all things was working I will never trade Nigeria for any other country. Nigeria is more than blessed, there is a strong sense of community lifestyle. It's just corrupt and bad leaders that is spoiling Nigeria. There are people who have a lot of money and celebrities in Nigeria who will never leave Nigeria to any other country. It's the average people that usually run from Nigeria expecting to see heaven in other countries only to get disappointed when all they have is snow and flowers.
Many rich people are leaving Nigeria now. Many houses in magodo are empty and under lock and keys. However all things being equal, Canada is much better in terms of safety. At least, nobody will kidnap you for ransom or something meaningless. No case of starvation for days. Omoh, Nigeria is worse now than ever before. Even the communal love and care that defined us and overall empathy is fast disappearing. People are fast becoming very sadistic and insensitive by turning pressing issues into jokes for all. Too sad.
May we experience the beautiful part of Nigeria, May the evils of Nigeria not happen to any of us in Jesus name, Amen.
Yeah you should build up your own country!! The grass always seems greener on the other side
@@lylesmith8632 not true no ones jealous. Your just not well traveled.
I should make a counter video…… 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve had so much fun for someone who is just coming
I would love to see it 👏🏽
Please o, I’m still enjoying it for now shaa😃
😂😂😂
me too
My sister, I’m still enjoying it o, 1 month here and I can say this is close to heaven abeg…..
Most Nigerians just want to be comfortable, earn a good living and live their lives in peace. In Nigeria, that's difficult. You could be kidnapped just for going or coming from work. If you don't get kidnapped, the police could harass you.
very true! Different problems honestly
Thanks bro
Most Canadian feel the same way.
@@WhizQueen sis very true how why are you bringing this kind of narrative for your country I don't get
I love Nigeria just not conducive
Ohh Nigerians are cool!! I am from lebanon
Honestly where I am an internship after 4 years studies is paying equivalent to canada minimum wage. Cost of living when I convert is very similar to that in Canada so if I were to go to canada it looks like it will be a paradise.
Here also it is very difficult to get a part time or second job

What was the reason your friend moved from the states to Canada?
Nice content. Please tell me what you use for your videos edit
Nice content
Is the only "fun" they have just clubbing? Meanwhile, they diss hiking? If you're in a city, there are concerts, the orchestra, art galleries, festivals, museums, bookstores, shopping, sporting events, and yes outdoor activities! And you can find food from across the planet in most major cities.
I'm an introvert so I think I would manage
You dey made me laugh so crazily them Gyals.... no more LOve guy su know.. many of Us or now targeting a sustainable life kinda stability and we now seeing things a bit different complications etc... so some just do not want that trap anymore,, but it indeed so sad.. ages running out of their lives so they are so afraid ... no easy at all .....nawooooooo
Yeah actually cold causes sense of fashion.
You have just described Finland succinctly. Like Canada like Finland...no difference.
Hungary, France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland has got the party and dating vibes to a better extent .
Hahaha. you can add Germany to list.
You can't please everyone. When their Country gets too hot they will with they were in Finland 🇫🇮 or Canada 🇨🇦 🤔. I likevthe 4 seasons.
Well you both spoke well but I have to tell you that they are not afraid all this is because of the Law they have as a country am speaking from experience they respect ladies a lot
First to comment ❤️
Hia, everything no no, make i kukuma stay my naija and continue with normal hard life here.
It’s worth it tho
Hello baddest Whizqueen! I have a personal question. How do I move to Canada from poland without using the Express Entry route? Thank you. Xoxo
Kindly, how can I make it to Poland?
Tinuola so pretty. Reminds me of Genevieve 😘
Talking about job search and it's difficulties, what's the practice of Architecture like over there.. am an Architect here (Nigeria) with over 4-5 year's working experience and am planning to relocate to Canada as a permanent resident. Thereafter some work period, I will embark on education.. #second Master's degree.
What do you think Queen?... would love to know!!!..
If u don't have canadian experience, your chances of getting a job as an architect is slim to none despite your 4-5 yrs experience. U may have to get certifications and also start afresh again.
How long does Canada work permit processes takes after biometric
Whiz. The Jamaican Community here in Toronto will accept you but, as you are perhaps aware by now, we have to get to know you. The same can also be said for relationships. Once you are in however, you are in.
That’s very sweet of you ☺️
@@WhizQueen
No worries Madam. You are one of us.
That is sad I work with people from Jamaica and we treat each other the same. All with respect 🙏.
@@lylesmith8632
Perhaps but, not everyone's experience are the same.
If you guys are there and surviving, and with the situation you have not decided to move back to Nigeria , then so can anyone also survive. It's good to know what to expect but all said will never be a deterent for me to move to Canada. Thank you.
Well spoken ...I dont k ow the agenda of these ladies and yet they want to come back to Nigeria ...
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆. You have vex o. I think the idea is to know what to expect and prepare for anything that comes.
E be like say you no dey hear word🤣😂🤣😂
Not everything is an agenda. They’re not saying don’t come, they are saying this is what to expect so that you can adequately prepare yourself.
The idea of a video like this, is not intendent to be a deterrent... but a warning that Canada IS NOT what the hype and propaganda, say to be.
Which city is the best for new immigrants??
Me I don't mind o. As long as I'm comfortable.
That’s right Being comfortable is good 😅
very valid points ladies (also mental health/racial bias in the work place are realities for immigrants too) ...so when are you all going back to the motherland.
Move 2 New York 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🌛🌛🌛🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌞🖤❤️💛💚🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥take a trip to Jamaica u would love it
You guys look nice 😘😘
thank you ☺️
What you girls say is true but I think all the expectations you've had are from Canada 40 years ago. Canada slowly destroyed the lifestyle, money opportunities, dating , etc... When I was young, Canada was awesome but today even I got out and leaving somewhere else.
I made a video about why people are leaving Canada and some people still don't believe.
Same experience in most countries
Canada gots to be nice cause they ain't goin back home
very true , tired here
I love my country that is why Nigeria should be' aware that God has blessed us. Let Us stop destroying it
What of teachers, is it easier to get a teaching job? I teach french language here in Nigeria.
STOP DISCOURAGING PEOPLE !!
life is not easy anywhere !!
NO MATTER . the number is the KEY.
the more you"re numerous , the more you"ll be in force and create a strong community.
look INDIANS , they help themselves , and they"re everywhere in CANADA, it is a FORCE for them !!
so HELP your BROTHERS and SISTERS to enter CANADA , that's all.
after you'll help yourselves to be a community there , and you'll have a height in this country.
Life is not easy anywhere, am in Dubai
They are not discouraging people. I am learning now to focus on my biz well well and make money
I dont totally agree with this ladies but some points were valid
Yes, true. Life is not simple any where
I showed your videos to my friend from East Africa who has always wanted to move to Canada and she definitely doesn’t want to go now! I’m not sure whether to feel bad for putting her off or happy that she’s not going to move somewhere so racist, snobby and boring 😅. It’s probably best that she doesn’t get disappointed because it definitely doesn’t sound like a friendly or fulfilling place.
It’s good for her to manage her expectations before coming. She can try it first and she how she feels. Everyone’s experience is not exactly the same sometimes
There's no such thing as 'the perfect' country! Every country on this planet has issues! But the way I see it, if you intend to emigrate to another country, and are willing to play by its rules, work your ass off, pay taxes and stay out of trouble then yes! You can make it work and live, potentially, anywhere.
Also, each experience is different! Best advice is to visit a country first, on holiday, before you make such a Big Decision! But yes, there is no such thing as a Free Lunch! And unfortunately, a lot of Western countries are becoming more and more reserved and conservative! Because immigration and emigration are hot, controversial topics!
That is weird. I work with people from all over the world. They like Canada 🇨🇦. It sounds like some are just bias towards Canadians and Canada. That is too bad. People from Ukraine come to Canada for a better life and they are happy to be here. Same as people from other Country's were they had a hard life. Canada 🇨🇦 is a good Country.
And racist they are!, they will make sure you feel unwelcomed, no matter how much time you have spent there.
@@lylesmith8632 Canada has its fair share of problems but, out of the countries I've visited thus far, Canada is definitely one of the nicest! Canadians, by and large, are sooo chillaxed!
However, as with lots of other countries, I did see homeless immigrants on the streets begging... So I guess if this problem continues, I fear that, in time, some Canadians will become just as openly bigoted as some Americans, British, Europeans and Australians... Rampant immigration does have a tendency to stretch the tolerances, good will and patience of a country. So can you really blame them?
Come to the US
How many degree Celsius are we talking about, try to include it.great job
Stunning information. Please interject that one should never pack up and leave their home country for a new life in Canada, as I did and so I am unhappily stuck here. Your information should be made more visible and known..
But there are some countries worser than a prison like my country algeria corruption oppression predators backwardness religious distraction a hell of shit with respect to North African sunshine
please could you expand? I'm in the process of planning a move there but these videos and comments are making me wonder but it's better to make an informed decision
@@toyamaria2786 I implore that you investigate going to another country. Canada is truly difficult on many platforms. The harsh cold is one reason, another is the expanse of the country and the extremely low population. The high cost of living here is another. There may be other positive benefits like the great water supply, the expanse need for professionals in the trade skills working outdoors and within the construction industry and so on. Please talk to people and piossibly come to visit during the winter season before making a final decision. The best to you.
