This is the skill because of which I was able to repay my 10 lakh loan within a year. If you know this skill, you can save thousands of dollars.
Hello everyone! How are you all? I’m here today with a new video. You guys might be saying that last year,
I was uploading videos very late and this year, he’s uploading a video every 2-3 days. So, I’ve decided to be regular this year
and share as much information as I can. One more thing: if you don’t know, I also have a second channel, Wheels N Forks.
It was started by me and my friend, and on that, I upload travel and food vlogs. Those who want to see more of these kinds of vlogs
should make sure to follow that channel. On this channel, I share both vlogs and information.
But, today’s topic is from the list of topics that includes: how to convince parents. I’m going to make a vlog on this topic soon,
and the second is, what are the helpful skills to learn before coming to Canada? When I came here, I never searched for these topics,
but at this level, I think that these are the things about which I should inform you.
So, that’s why I’m going to talk about the skills that will be helpful to you and ensure that you will not face any problems in the future.
So, watch the entire video, this video aims to get 5000 likes, and I know you can achieve this goal. So, like the video,
because it’s going to be very informative, and let’s talk about these skills.
So, the skill that will be the most helpful in your life in Canada is cooking. If you know how to cook, you can save thousands of dollars.
I’ve talked about this in previous videos because many people don’t care about these important things. Many people know how to cook, while some don’t.
I didn’t know how to cook, and I could only prepare 1-2 food items. If you can learn to cook some basic Indian meals and after practicing it 2-3 times,
You’ll become confident. If you don’t know, you can prepare Indian Tadka once and use it for a week after freezing it.
This Tadka can be used in almost every Indian meal, and because of this, you can prepare your meals quickly.
The advantage of these skills is that you will not be eating outside, with which you can save money.
If you're a student and eat outside 3-4 times per week, it’ll cost you around $14-15 per meal and around $250-300, which is not worth it.
So, prepare your meal by yourself, eat homemade food, and I still do it by myself. Tiffin services are also good for some time,
But I can’t eat food by using tiffin services continuously. I can eat my homemade food. Every day I cook and prepare my breakfast, lunch, and dinner by myself.
I cook once a day and I prepare meals for the whole day. Cooking is a very important skill, and if you don’t know it, you should start learning it.
The second skill that I’m going to talk about might be the one you haven’t heard about before, but I’ll say that it’s a very helpful skill.
You get a lot of time after the 12th standard, and in this time, you can learn something. Learn a skill with which you can earn money.
I didn’t learn any kind of skill after the 12th, and I suggest everyone not repeat the mistakes that I made.
In that time, learn a skill, and it can be any skill. The skills that I learned after coming here were YouTube, video editing, etc.
If you have time, you should learn a new skill. So, guys, this video is in collaboration with Skillshare, which is an amazing platform to learn new skills.
As you know, when I arrived in Canada, it took me 3 months to find a job, and I started my YouTube channel after 6-7 months because I wanted to learn things.
I used to look for information on YouTube, but all of the information is scattered there. So, I took a class called Adobe Premiere Pro Beginner
by Brad Newton. At that time, I didn’t know about the tools used in video editing, but when I took that class, I came to know about a lot of things.
So I learned video editing from there and gradually improved. So, I learned all of this when I arrived in Canada,
but you can learn any skill that you want while in India. So, Skillshare is an online learning community
where you get access to thousands of courses prepared by experts. The best thing about Skillshare is that there are no ads,
so there will not be any kind of irritating ads in your learning experience. On Skillshare, you can learn a lot.
There are a lot of domains in which you can learn, like productivity, gardening, video editing, etc. Currently, I’m taking this Master class by Ali Abdaal.
If you’re interested in productivity, then you have probably heard of his name before. I have a job, a YouTube channel, and my house chores,
and I’m curious as well, so this class helps me a lot in managing all of these things. So, make sure to check out that as well,
because I liked that class. The best part is that its subscription fee is less than 2000 rupees annually, which is around 166 rupees a month, which is a very small amount.
If you want to get a cup of coffee from a decent restaurant, it’ll cost you more than that.
So, if you can enhance your skills for only 166 rupees a month, then it’s a worthwhile deal. So, learn a skill that can help you throughout your life.

and learn the things you love. So, click the link in the description and check out Skillshare.
The third skill that I’m going to talk about will be the most important in your life in Canada, whether you’re studying, working, or anything else.
That skill is called "communication interpersonal skills."
You can look up what "interpersonal skills" mean, but I'll explain it briefly. These are your social skills, or how you listen to people
and behave with them. If you’re moving to Canada, you have to learn a lot of things and you have to change yourself.
If you think that people will change according to you, then you’re wrong. So, communication skills will be very helpful for you.
I worked for Tim Hortons, and I know that it helped me a lot in developing my communication skills. But, I was never hesitant.
You should never stop using English after your IELTS exam because your journey in the English language starts by doing IELTS.
So, you need to create an environment where you can talk in English and start speaking with people.
I know, many people are introverts, but you have to be social here because all the opportunities will be available to you only because of references.
If you can make someone understand your points, then that is a completely different level of understanding.
So, you need to focus on your communication skills. So, the third skill is communication and interpersonal skills.
So let’s talk about the next skill. This is the skill because of which I was able to repay my 10 lakh rupee loan within a year,
pay my fees, and develop my investment portfolio.
These skills are financial and budgeting skills.
Having financial skills is very important. If you don’t know anything about financial skills, you should read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad"
by Robert Kiyosaki, and you’ll be amazed to see how money works. If you’re coming here, you’ll see people using branded items, which doesn’t make any sense.
Anyone can buy this stuff, and if I want, I can get anything from GUCCI with my one week's salary, but will it make me rich in my sense?
The answer is "no." People will notice you, but like I’m wearing this hoodie by H & M, it’s around $15-20.
If I go somewhere, I’ll wear some more decent clothes. But, wearing luxury brands will not make you feel rich.
People will notice you according to your clothing, but they are not there to pay your expenses.
I repaid my loan using my budgeting skills, and my monthly expense was less than $700. It doesn’t mean that I’m a miser.
Today I know where I want to spend my money and I can spend it wherever I want to, so that’s what I did at that time.
Whenever you come to Canada as a student, you’ll have a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) and you should start investing your money.
As a friend, I’m advising you to start investing with a small amount and you’ll get all the things related to it in the description.
But, this is important and no one is going to tell you about it. So, maintain your budget and live below your means
so that you can appreciate yourself in the future. I did these things, and that's why I’m financially independent now.
I repaid my loan, and my next goal is to buy a house here. If I hadn’t maintained my expenses, I would still be repaying my loan.
Your initial lifestyle here will go on with your future lifestyle. So, make sure you know where you are spending it.
So, the fourth skill is financial and budgeting skills. The last skill, which will help you in your studies as well as in other things,
is your basic computer skills.
You can learn all the other things here, but office tools like Word, Excel and basic computing commands are important to learn.
I’ve seen students that don’t know basic computer commands. I’m not judging them, but if you’re coming to Canada,
Where all of your work is on your computer, you have to make sure that you learn these basic things. It’ll help you a lot.
You should know the basics, like using Excel, PowerPoint, etc., because all of your assignments are based on this. I did a computer course in India.
Computer courses are available everywhere and you can learn from them. So, make sure to learn the things that will develop you
and start your development journey from India, because when you arrive here, you’ll know everything.
There are a lot of videos on YouTube from which you can learn and gain knowledge about Canada. These skills will be really helpful in the beginning,
so make sure to learn all of these skills. If you enjoyed the video, like the video, subscribe to the channel
