Just wanted to say thanks for making this video! 😊 It really helped me prepare and I passed my Canadian citizenship test 18 out of 20 today! 🙌 Appreciate your effort in sharing this info. 👍

Thanks for sharing this.. I came here 17 years ago, and my kids grew here, and we faced the same challenges.

Just took the test, got 19/20 (July 2025). This video was of great help. Read the study once and watched this once video from start till end, and I was all set. Thanks for sharing this video. Also, thanks to everyone for the comments because your testimonies help give credibility.

I like this perspective on Brampton, thanks for sharing ?

i am around the same age and feeling the exact same. looks like i am not the only one feeling this way. thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing this information ma, let me take advantage quick I pray I am selected by God's grace?

Thanks so much for sharing this Alina! I can relate to what you're going through - I was born in the UK, moved to the US at 11 and then moved back to the UK at 24. I decided to leave the US because I began to realise that it's just not an ideal place to work and raise a family. The state I lived in (South Carolina) has a better quality of life than, say, California, New York, Oregon, Washington or New Jersey, but overall the US just doesn't do an adequate job of caring for its citizens, and the US government (especially those left of centre) has its priorities in the wrong place. The UK has its own problems no doubt, but overall the UK does a much better job of caring for its citizens than the US does. \n\nIt'll be more difficult for you than it was for me because you'll be going to an entirely new country where you have no family and no social network, but you're an intelligent and daring woman, you seem to be quite comfortable around new people, and you'll settle into wherever you end up very quickly. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing how everything plays out!

Agreed with all your points and thanks for sharing. But honestly, I fail to understand two points here. 1. People living in Canada and commenting that it is true and they are baffled with this whole situations, when exactly you are coming back to India? People will tell you that they want to come back but no one will. It is because those who actually left for Canada in order to have a better lifestyle are still having a better lifestyle in Canada and they will never return back (atleast in the near future). They left for Canada citing the reasons that India is polluted and they are toured based on religion (you know exactly whom I am talking about) but whatever the case is...they are still not coming back. 2. No country is perfect, I agree that Canada has its own problems to deal with but then why Indians are leaving for US, UK and Australia where racisms and cost of living high too? It is because they have issues with India too and those who have issues with a well diverse and prospered country like India, will have problems in other country as well. So if you don't wanna come to Canada, all good but other countries have same problems as well (atleast 80% matches the points discussed in the video - exclude drug ofcouse).

Thanks for sharing this information, but please Ma, how can you assist my wife in this aspect, or any opportunity that will arise in future? She studied dietetics, and have vast experience in that field Ma.\n\nThanks Ma, I will be waiting for your response?

Hi Seyi?thanks very much for sharing this information. Please can i use my sister’s bank statement as proof of fund

Thanks a lot for sharing this information. I agree with you about Vancouver, BC, Canada ?? I have lived here for 45 years and believe, no matter how expensive it is to live here, I love it here!!! It is truly expensive to live here but it is doable as long as you are hardworking. For me, this is the most beautiful place to live in compared to other provinces. God bless & protect Vancouver BC Canada. God richly bless you, too, as you continue to educate people. ????????????

Thanks very much for sharing. This is very helpful and I appreciate that it's not pretentious, complicated but very neutral in terms of presenting different realistic views. It's difficult to find contents nowadays that are not clickbait or overhyped.

I could of sworn this video was about Australia. Very similar issues which are eroding quality of life big time. Very interesting video, thanks for sharing.

What you have stated in this video about your day to day life experience has horrified me, really it means a lot to us like Asian Indians, as, we get all kind of skilled technicians plumbers carpenters etc here in our country for reasonable cost, actually I was planning for my son to Canada, but now I give up ??? thanks for sharing your experience

Thanks for sharing the info atleast it will be useful for millions of Nigerians,in my own case I used an agent and it was last year April 2022 but I didn't get the visa until this year 2023 and so I decided to embarked on d journey last month Oct but to my greatest surprise the immigration officers turned back from Cairo airport ,later I got the letter from my ircc stated that I used invitation letter to apply and what I applied with was my hotel booking so they asked me to replace some expired documents within 7 working days which I later did and then ive been waiting for their reply since, plz kindly assist me and explain to me better with your experience ma,thanks Yemi

Uhhh that was a shocker, thanks for sharing this. Vancouver is ten times worse, what I have seen through YouTube videos. Then through the fires in BC and Alberta many people are now homeless and displaced. The housing crises has now gotten unmanageable. For us Canadians who would love to return to Canada, since I got away from my abuser, it is impossible. I'm very discouraged and hopeless, and believe we might never return to Canada to live. It is absolutely shocking how the country has changed for the worse under the Trudeau Government.

Just discovered your channel. This was an amazing video. Thanks for sharing. \n\n\nIt is good to paint an honest picture. I like the man’s attitude and the decision to keep going and focusing on his purpose regardless of the challenges

Thanks so much for sharing. This is so informative I can’t find your instagram handle in the description box. I will like to talk to you.

Thanks for sharing this. I find Canadians can be aggressively defensive protecting their 'utopia' of a homeplace when practically speaking, there's no such thing.

I kinda knew about this but not 100% in detail like you ladies explained. Thanks for sharing, good to know!!! Now, here’s my points: You are young and you have dreams and ambitions, which I see fine BUT be careful what you are wishing for, you may get it!!! It’s great to be in a country that cares about their citizens health and well-being!!! Also, these tax costs help to destroy the Poor-Family-Status!!! Meaning, nobody goes to starvation because government got your back. I think it’s a great place for working class family that want to live a normal live and not worries on how they will end up when they grow old. Come to USA and you will see how the medical field works, it is difficult!!! Your tax money goes into things you don’t even want to know sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I love USA but it is not for everyone, same thing as Canada, not for everyone either. Canada is the northern section, it is cold!!! Not air pollution, beautiful!!!! I think you are USA material, come over, we need more Spartans soldiers, Uncle Sam welcome everyone with dreams and etc. Students loans will love you too in here. Nothing is perfect but remember, for a country to sustain it needs taxes from people to live well

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

Thank you my name is lawal Olajide thanks for sharing this information what about teaching profession teachers are they needed in Canada since Canada has ageing population did they need teachers I have degree and NCE in one of the Nigerian universities and British Council certificate

Thanks a lot for sharing this video. We have great distrust over Pakistani immigration service providers. This is great contribution from your side. I think many Pakistani will be benifitted from this guidance. Realy gratefull.

Thanks for sharing the insight. My sister also left Canada, I did not understand it fully. This video really helped me understand. Knowing the person my sister is and her potential, I can understand how bleak the future in Canada felt for her.

Hello sister Joyce, thanks for sharing God bless you. The problem l have is this, our dear sister who have gone up country they return inside the coffin, some on craches, being raped no salary etc. Kila wakati R. I. P, wengine wanatamani kurudi lakini wameshindwa , mateso chungu mzima najua ni shinda. Uwamuzi wenu uwe bora kabla ya kuondoka Kenya. Mungu awasaidiye. ?

As I have found from various online videos saying WES do not rate your Masters degree equivalency but instead rate as a diploma degree and IQAS rates your masters degree to master degree equivalency ... please could you make a video on this..

Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of were am I in the United States of America but why only the black people are not able to make a real living still happening today sad Linda j peace pay attention to what you are doing around people that don't want you around sad ?at what is happening around you Linda j peace ❤️???

Great experiment. Shocking results from Canada. U.S., maybe, yes, but not Canada. I am Caucasian from the U.S. It might be subtle, but it's still there. Not good! The subtle racists are more threatening, in my opinion, because you cannot spot them right away. This is a very eye-opening experience. Thanks for sharing.
