Welcome to Canada! 🇨🇦 Good luck with everything. Stay around positive folks in each industry. Uk peeps are OK with us. 🙏
Hey Dan! Great story and congrats on landing a dream job. We'd love to catch you in Hamilton some time this spring and maybe do a collab. Shoot us an email if interested. 🚀
Loved this, Danny
Amazing Quality Video!
Good on you Danny 😀 that is huge moving to another country, hope it all works out for you 🙂 definitely one of my places in the world to visit 🙂
Welcome to Canada!
thank you!!
What made you choose Canada in particular? How does it compare to Australia or New Zealand to you?
So for what i wanted to do (music industry) I found Canada had more going off than Aus + NZ, that's teh sole reason really close to the US, bigger music scene etc.
Hamilton is a great spot; Bruce Trail, Niagara Escarpment, Amish Country, close to two American borders, (Buffalo, Detroit) Algonquin Park, Georgian Bay...you're central to everything. Just use common sense; gangs are everywhere, but if you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. The UK accent is a big plus, and being a musician in the internet age is also a huge plus. Just trust your gut and put one foot in front of the other. Looking forward to more vlogs. I'd say, get yourself a rescue dog, and the pathway to more friendships opens even wider. There's no better way to meet people than taking your dog for a walk. It's a real ice-breaker. You could also get involved in a local church, as many of them are keen on musicians.
Ye sure is a good spot I love it! This is great advice I’ll check it out 😃
@@dannysmartmusicbro I am 24 male coming to Canada soon how did u get working holiday visa ????? was the process difficult and which is easier to secure work between Canada Australia and New Zealand... which one is easier I been considering Canada for a while now but I see many people talk about Many People At Job Fair In Canada Like thousands But then See Canada Has Over 1m Jobs ??? Please Help.. I Am Really Considering the move even with all the housing crisis etc . Thank You All Help Appreciated 🙏🏾
It differs from country to country but mine took around 8 weeks to process. And I believe it is what you make it but you have dig deeper than jobs fairs. If there's omewhere you want to be you gotta do your research and dig to find something!@@Gloryboyquan
@dannysmartmusic what I meant is If there's close to 1m jobs why we see soo many people at jobfairs as I don't want to go then I can't find no jobs dere .. but I really am considering it this will be my first time traveling also
Hi there, I'm a musician and I'm thinking of going to "The Royal Academy of Music" or "Royal College of Music" (London, UK). I want to know your thoughts on this decision.
Is Hamilton still not good? I thought Hamilton had changed significantly in recent years as home prices continue to skyrocket and more people from the GTA are moving there.
I quite like it Toby! From my small time here, i think it's an on going process of investment and developing. Hopefully it doesn't go too far down the gentrification route!
Get on Danny
thanks mate!
Refreshing to see something that is not “canada is shit, everyone is leaving, trudeau bad”. Welcome to canada dude! Canada is awesome and it needs more positive ppl like you now more than ever! I hope all goes well for you!
I agree Jacob. As with anything in life, it is what you make it. Moving to ANY new country is not easy and is always going to be a grind even for your first few years I'm sure. Thanks Bud!
Your accent is nice, not weird, sounds like a notherner.
pahah thanks!
Imagine not moving to Montreal 🤢

@@troywatson6974 There are easier ways to tell us your parents are siblings.
The country is a country anymore it’s a colony of India
For anyone thinking of moving to canada. Do not. This country compared to the one I grew up in is utter shit. It is essentially a colony of India now. Everything is expensive as fuck. After travelling to the UK I would 100% prefer living in the UK to Canada.
As a person who has done his fair share of travelling and meeting people from different cultures, backgrounds and countries, i can say that honestly everyone thinks or considers this at some point in there life. You say moving to the UK is better? Go try it and let us all know with a vlog :)
Danny not so smart
Absolute fire, love it.
Good for you, but you are in the honeymoon phase. The majority of immigrants have regretted their move to Canada. It's a trap, everything looks great at first, until the effect of honeymoon phase starts wearing off.The reality will hit you sooner or later. But enjoy it while you can.
Just wondering why the reality is? 😂🤷
This doesn't apply to him he is from Homeland not India.
@@AlexanderGosselin lmao... canada is not an upgrade from UK
It's not Canada. It's now India
People like yourself are the best, you know the ones who just comment stuff like this all while being too scared to have a profile picture… v funny.
Where were you when India was literally taken over by white posh Brits who treated the natives like crap?
@@dannysmartmusic Thank you for standing up for us bro. It's disheartening that even after living here for 20 years and holding a bachelors and masters degree from Canadian institutions, some still view me as a second-class citizen. What's funny is that I received my education in Dubai under the British syllabus, completing O levels and A levels, when I tell most people that here, they are clueless lol. But yes, most of us Indians face the misconception that we travel by boat from a slum and are dirty etc etc 😥 . Despite the challenges, my time in Canada has been amazing. However, I've decided to relocate permanently to Dubai since things are a bit rough here. Dubai has a lot of British expats, its a well favored place since there are no taxes and they are relatively open minded, being referred to as the Las Vegas of the middle east.
Btw. Hamilton has its merits, having spent a decade there attending McMaster University, but I recommend considering the Halton region for its relative safety and tranquility. touchwood.
@@LokeshThakur Touch grass loser. No one thinks you're a second class citizen and just b/c ppl punch back now doesn't make you second class.
@@LokeshThakur for what it’s worth brother, you are not a second class citizen. Canada was built by immigrants and is a country of immigrants. Unless one is a member of first nations, one is an immigrant. Don’t let these white conservative folks get to you, those who say that are just jealous that immigrants generally are more educated and motivated and thus do better in life…Canada is lucky to have you. These toxic discussions are intensified now since we’re heading into another election season, so everyone is suddenly « active » on the internet. Toxic times, but we’ll get thru them…
