    From my perspective, newer immigrants have unrealistic expectations. Thanks to social media. In the real estate space for example, I see a lot of 😢unhealthy competition. Ha , my friend just bought ..we want to buy too..even when it's clear that you really cannot afford it. If over 45% of your monthly salary is going towards paying mortgage... you really can not afford that property. People must realize and acknowledge the season of life they are in.. . If you're in the season of planting , stop comparing yourself with someone in their harvesting season. Be content, work hard, pray hard, move with the ✅️ tribe ( but avoid unhealthy competition) and all will be well. CANADA 🇨🇦 is a great country, but things aren't handed to you on a plater of gold. Can I hear an AMEN?! 😅

    It’s not about jumping from one country to another. You can make it anywhere. Just work towards your vision and make the best of what you have. Trust God in your timing as well.
    Even in Nigeria, people are achieving groundbreaking feats!! If you like go the country tagged as “the best” (with many opportunities as well), but without having a renewed mindset and clear cut vision, you’ll still struggle.

    As a person born and raised in Canada, I would NEVER tell anyone to move here. The country is in clear decline. Opportunities are getting harder to come by, and the cost of living, especially after taxes, is insane. A person making $50,000 per year has to choose between having a car or renting a "cheap" place to live. Places like Saskatoon are more affordable, but there are even fewer opportunities there.
    For the record, I am looking for a new country to call home. I'll make sure to listen to the advice on this channel when I level Canada, the only home I have ever known.

      You are so right. These are some of the reasons I have left Canada. It is so sad because it has such potential but the governments tax everyone so high and send the money overseas to countries like Ukraine to help finance a war but that is just one of the ways the government (liberal) wastes tax payer money.

    I earn 6 figures now. Let me take you all through memory lane.. I got to US in 2016. Slept on the rug for I year, started my first job at a warehouse, 12 hours standing all night, moved to delivery jobs, moved to moving jobs, switched back to delivery job, switched to house cleaning job, switched to warehouse jobs, switched to uber job before finally landing a 6 figure jobs with two major financial institutions remotely.
    People simply don't want to go through any transformation. Very very unhealthy competition.
    Even with my 6 figures now, I still don't see buying a house as a priority. I NEVER TOOK MY CAR ON LOAN.

      Canada likes to hide it’s problems, but there are starving people and children in this country, it is just silenced.

      I work with people who cannot afford to stay home whenever they're sick. So they show up for work instead, and then everyone else contracts whatever their illness is.
      All in all, it's not an easy road, and while most people are having a difficult time in Canada, I know for sure that most immigrants persevere.

    Hi Marina, i admired your humility and forthrightness. It is always very IMPORTANT to ask yourself the WHY questions in any major decision you undertake. Why do i want to do it? Is there another option? what are the risks associated with my decision? How do i measure progress? When should i press the PAUSE or STOP botton? This gives you assurance to deal with any challenges that would arise. It is expected that no decision is 100 percent perfect, however you better position yourself to weather any storm if you have answered the key questions sincerely

    The sad reality is people emigrate from their own country to Canada for economic reasons for the most part. So, no one is going to make such an expensive and arduous move to live a life where they are worst off and have a lower standard of living from where they left. So, if the immigrants are returning back to their own country, Canada is not the promised land that they had expected.
    And life in Canada is ridiculously expensive. The insufficient housing and high rent prices are just another good reason why no one would want to stay.
