Sending this to my son. He's been talking about getting a car. He needs to hear this. Thanks for sharing
Please do. Thank you very much
Thanks so much, Marina. Always insightful watching you. I have learned a lot. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾
You are so welcome!
Thank you Marina for this very useful video. I just love you and the way you put out these things. God bless you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great post! Your position as regards taking time to buy or starting cheap skate makes sense....whenever I'm deployed to a new location, I use public transport to enable me understand routes
I know right? I am so glad i got the chance to use the bus; that is how i found my way around and now, I know more places than my hubby who started driving almost immediately. Thanks a lot
Nice one sis, as usual well thought out and very useful information for anyone moving to any part of the western world honestly
Thank you so much 🙂
Always sharing very helpful tips!
I agree if u can do without a car, there is no need to rush to buy one.
Well done sis
Thank you so much for watching
You are such a blessing! Thank you for this. You look fabulous as always. 💥💥💥
Thank you loads🥰
Thanks for this information. Indeed a car is not an asset. You just have to buy what can take you from point A to point B. Good job!
Well said! Thanks for watching
This is so informative, the I have arrived got me laughing 😁 to be honest people should work according to their budgets x
Absolutely. Thanks sis
Well done, Marina. This video was spot-on! And that's a very beautiful blouse you have on.
Thank you so much!
Great tips, especially the part about getting a mechanic to check out the car first.
Oh yea, super important. Thanks for watching
Always on point, I'm sure this will be helping a lot of people. Car is not an asset.
Thank you very much sis
Very helpful tips. Took my mind back to undergrads days when all new students coming from Nigeria felt there was a need for them to own cars and rent fancy apartments. Some people do have misplaced priorities.
It is very common here too. Newcomers buying cars and renting apartments they cant afford long term. I hope we leanr to reorder our priorities. Thanks for watching
Had to come back to this video with my paper and pen....❤
This is quite insightful and informative.
Thanks for sharing this helpful tips.
Glad it was helpful!
This is well detailed and very educating! Thanks ma'am 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Always helping out with great tips, well done sis
Thanks so much
Wow, you are a gift to immigrants! God bless you
Hi marina I live in Canada for 5 years now. I used to think I don't need a car until a few months ago. You can use a car to get extra money especially with the lockdowns that happened over the last 2 years. Also people have become "entitled" over the last two years with all the division that is happening with the ever changing covid rules. I have been harassed on public transit like 4 times in 2022. Just this evening I was with my child and a man was above me I had to get up quickly because he was about to spit on us. About a week ago a man poured a substance on a young lady while she was boarding the bus in Toronto and light her on fire. They do not know each other. Right now a car for me is about my safety and that of my children. I'm learning to drive now and would be buying a used car once I pass by test.
Oh wow! That is scary to think about like that
Thank you Marina, you are a wonderful person
!
Thank you so much!
This messsge is personally to me. U're always telling me what i need to know at the right time. How wish i can like your video a million times. May God give u more wisdom.
Same here. Very practical and concise.
I'm so glad! Thank you very much.
@ Grace O. Thank you very much
You are absolutely right, car looses its value as soon as you drive out of the dealers lot. And the payment never ends, bigger portion goes on interest. It’s advisable to spend time and read whatever documents they give you well and strategize your payments if the main purpose of buying was to build credit. In that case don’t don’t go for too expensive.
Exactly. Thanks sis
Very valid points. True a car is definitely not an asset 👌🏾👌🏾
Exactly! Thanks a lot for watching
I was telling my sisters the other day that in Canada, not everyone you see driving a car owns that car.
A lot of people rented those cars or took loans to get the car which is different from Nigeria that most people you see driving own the car.
Owing a car comes with a whole lot of costs and sometimes even if you can afford it it might be wise to hold on and stick to the transit system except you really need it.
It’s okay to hold on for some time because that money you’ll spend would never be gotten back.
The transit system isn’t the worst and could be cheaper in some cases.
You might buy a car but by the time you think of the costs of maintenance, insurance parking etc the cost goes up. When it comes to parking, in some cases you’ll have to think about that costs for your home/apartment and even work. Not all organizations provide free parking to their employees.
Parking could be so expensive in some places and when you think about all of that you might be able to save up some money you can put towards somethings else that’ll generate money for you while you save up to purchase that car later.
You are so right. There are parking stalls in Downtown Saskatoon that cost up to $250 a month. Even more than some people's insurance and the cost of gas. That is a significant expense that a lot of people don't think about. Thanks for sharing
@@MARINAESIRI that's right.
You're welcome 😊
I am planning on getting a car this year or early next year so this is really helpful for me
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative as always, well done babes
Thanks a lot babes 😊
Yes you are so very right . Buy what you can afford. What gives you good value . Is in the better end on fuel costs. Most people don't need a truck to drive in the city where a Honda Civic would get double the km traveled for the same cost. Of gas . Very good pionts you bring up .
Thank you very much for watching
Thank you for your tips.. 💯
Thanks Marina. Very helpful tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video idea coz I believe us as Africans we pay less attention to contracts we sign. Once we have been approved we think that’s it not paying attention to the high interest rate. Thanks for sharing
I totally agree! I hope we change that culture of signing without reading.
Very informative content sis
I may be needing this soon in the nearest future
Thank you for always. Been a while i have been here
Glad it was helpful!
@ Sara O. Thank you very much
Just came across your channel and i love it. i totally agree with you, i live in Saskatoon and do not have a car yet. i am single and it is still easy for me to move around. But if you have kids, yes you might need to get one.
Oh hey Saskatoonian, thanks for watching. You are so right.
Another amazing video 🤗
Thank you🥰
Thanks for your honesty
Very vital information
Thanks always 🙏
You are welcome anytime🥰
Hi am in agreement with what you are saying absolutely right thanks for the info....
Thank you very much. Glad it was helpful
The cost of parking here in the UAE is not even funny!. Wehdone Ma'am for insightful videos like this, wish i know more of UAE youtubers.
Very detailed information Same thing here in France
Oh that's good to know. Thanks for watching.
Very very insightful for new immigrants. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching sis. How have you been?
@@MARINAESIRI you are welcome. I've been good. I see you are doing great too. Regards 🤗🤗
Exactly yunno in the abroad you don’t necessarily need a car especially because the transport system is really good but if you have kids is vital o and much easier outside that to have a car abroad requires time and money especially if it’s something you are now paying per month sef
You are so right sis, thanks
This is really helpful .. even tho we don’t live in Canada I can still relate, find out more before buying a used car
I am glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
You look gorgeous babe.😁 Thank you for this vital information.
Thank you very much🥰
More wisdom and grace to share more beneficial content.
Thank you very much
Affordability is number one and like you said also factor in other cost that comes with having a car....I dont have issues starting with small 2nd hand cars🤣🤣
Me too, my first car in 2016 was a 2004 model and it was super reliable. No shame in it at all.
I stayed for 2yrs before getting a car. I asked so many questions and searched online for what I wanted so when I went to the dealers shop I went straight for that and didn't let them do their tricks on me. I also knew the rules concerning military and tabled when I got there so they knew I was bad market.
Hahahaha, @ bad market. Thanks sis
You have said it is all
Thanks as always
You are welcome anytime😊
Hey Marina, thanks for your content! What would you recommend as the best option to get a car for a short term period of like 3-6 months? For a tourist without any credit history in Canada. Are there any car subscription services?
I believe rental companies have packages for tourist. One popular one is Enterprise, will be worth it to check them out.
Very useful video. But i was expecting you to talk about the prices of new ones and also compared to the hand to hand(used) cars
That wasn't really the idea of the video. It is to give general tips on what to look out for. My opinion on brand new cars for newcomers was stated in the beginning so I didnt see a need to compare prices. Thanks for watching.
@@MARINAESIRI thanks for the explanation. But what I mean exactly is like telling us the range of prices for both used and new cars so that one can have an idea of the prices
Chai me that I'm planning to go and buy Lamborghini 2021 model. Well like I always say alot of folks will still make mistakes because they are thinking with their kidneys. Weldone babe.
Hahahaha, Please buy o so that i can shoot my next video inside it. If i dont famz with your ride, who will?
Buy according to your budget, very important.
Thanks sis
Good points!
I don't believe in buying a brand new car either. It's not a good investment
Thank sis for watching😊
Respect 😁😁😁
Thanks
I’m here with my pen and paper 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you very much
Watching this in 2022
louder oo for the people at the back!!! A car in Canada is not luxury ,its a necessity and should purchased when it is really needed.All that financing is not something to rush into
Thank you very much.
Helpful
Glad to hear that
Hello .. New on this Channel and Saskatchewan has always been the place I wanted to live in Canada 😁.. Informative Video.
MERCI .. Kisses from Abidjan , Cote d'Ivoire..
Could you tell me about the French Community overthere??
Blessings
I dont know a lot about the french community or if there is one. I will ask around.
Hey ma'am,,car is an asset to an extent
Please help me understand.
@@MARINAESIRI okay,,,someone using his or her car for uber and the rest,for such person that car is an asset
You are very correct. I was talking about that in the context of the conversation i was having. It is not typical that new comers are thinking about buying a car for uber upon arrival. Most times, the priority is to settle down with the family and finding your way around. I get your point though. Many thanks.
How can you cope in the winter
Please ma am I to scan recommendation letters to the school I apply or my lecturer from Nigeria will send it to my intended school in Canada
For the U of S, the references will be contacted directly by the school and they respond directly to the school so you don't play a role other than provide their details. Other schools may do it differently. You need to confirm what works in the school you apply to.
Facebook marketplace has cars being sold by owners. I live in BC and the people are do honest
That is true
Car isn’t an asset, I agree..
Thanks for watching
Hi Marina, how about someone that intend to study after landing as PR and wants to do Uber just to keep body and soul together?
That option is available. Is there a specific concern you have?
@@MARINAESIRI Oh yes, I intend to drive for Uber while doing my masters after landing as PR. I want to know how feasible it is and whether or not the bills wouldn't take away all the monies made - based on this video you put out today. I have other business ideas in the same automobile industry but I'm afraid the studies might not give me ample time to explore them in my early days in Canada. Thanks for responding!!!
I typically will not advise anyone to go straight to a masters degree upon arrival in Canada as a PR. There is a lot more emphasis on experience than on paper qualification. If you will like to talk more about this, please send an email to marina.esiri@gmail.com
MARINA ESIRI Thanks for the advice. I will send you an email right away.
Hello,
What car would you suggest for delivery please
What kind of delivery?
@@MARINAESIRI Food delivery like skip the dishes , or for Amazon flex
Are Benz affordable in Canada
Mercedes is a luxury brand and wont be as cheap as others.
🚘🚗🚙Canada has a big manufacturing industry for vehicles, so used cars come cheap and in very good condition. Just spend $30 for a VIN search FULL report for due diligence, and CAD $3,000 buys you a good car or minivan in Saskatchewan/Manitoba or $2,000 in Ontario/Quebec. Nice video, thanks MARINA for emphasis on VIN check for car history before buying....BUYER BEWARE❗
Thank you very much.
Is your first car a second hand one?
Yes, my first car was already used. Same with my second one.
@@MARINAESIRI me too id rather save up for an expensive house than for a car 🤣
Goodafternoon Madam, I must appreciate you for all your effort in helping people like me who have been dreaming of living in canada some day.
Please I have some enquiry to make.
Presently, I just graduated from the university of Abuja with a second class upper in B.SC Economics. I intend to apply to the university of Manitoba to study Masters in Economics or Agribusiness. This morning came across something on the net that's so confusing. Someone wrote that if the course you want to study in canada is readily available in your country, that you can be denied a study visa. Please am confused. Most universities in Nigeria offers masters in Economics and even the Agribusiness, right now I dont know what to do. Please advice me on this.
Thank you so much
In this is the first time I will hear that. Where did you hear this, if I may ask? I doubt that will be a valid reason to reject a study permit. There are other reasons why a study permit will be rejected. If you want to talk more about this, please send an email to Marina.esiri@gmail.com
You are too eloquent in your speech... You make me wanna live in Canada... If I apply for visa now they will come and start doing shakara for me.
Hahaha @shakara for you. Thanks a lot sis
This is not complete ooo. It will be nice to know price range of used cars that one can start with. Good info all the same.
That depends on the individuals. Price range will depend on you and what you can afford. there are cars you can get for as low as $2000 and cars can go as high as $30,000 or more.
The song underneath this video is disorientating
Oh really? Sorry about that
Ho from Ghana 🇬🇭
Helloooo
