What's up guys?
How you doing today?
Welcome back to my youtube channel
it's your guy Igor here
Today's video is one of those most requested,
and one of those videos that I
didn't really want to make
because it's really difficult to answer
and
Question was why should I not move to Canada ?
Now it's really difficult for me because
Obviously I moved to Canada
and I will give you 1 million reasons
to why you should move here
But since this video is for those who are thinking
Why should I not move to Canada,
and why I'm not going to like Canada, so?
Here's the reason number one
Today is a really sunny day,
but it's still close to 0 degrees
so it's cold
First reason is
if you are used
to some really nice weather in your country
Canada can be slightly
Too cold for you
to be here
the other reason is
The retailers
like for example.
Let me show you
if you are trying
if you're used to
small shops in your country
where you can go and buy some bread
you can go and buy some from bakery
or something you can go and
Repair your shoes
and a special place where
a guy is going to fix your shoes
your clock or something
In Canada
it's all about huge retailers like
see..you can see over there
That is a Co-op
So it's a big retailer there..
Dollarama.. it's also a chain of stores
There is another Co-op
now
There are small retailers in this area
But they are quite expensive here like
you can see here
this place is actually beautiful
because many small businesses
So if you are used to come out
from your house to buy something
Canada might be not the best choice
for you because here you do groceries
like once a week
Maybe twice a week maximum
because you have to go to a specific place
and commute
takes a lot of time
the other thing about
Canadians
some people say Canadians are nice.
I would say yes
They are nice people and I love that..
but also Canadians can be too private
I mean if in my culture
or other countries
someone doesn't like you
they're going to tell it straight to your face
They're going to say.
I don't like you
for example
or something like that
in Canada...
They're going to say and smile
yeah, I like you you're an awesome person
even if they don't like you
so
when once you meet someone on the street
and
Everyone is extremely friendly
everyone is extremely polite
but it doesn't mean that
they actually like you
so you have to read people
more in Canada
if someone says
I Like you,
it doesn't really mean they like you
they might just want to get rid of you
and also Canadians
keep personal things to themselves
They do not like
talking about how much money they are making
Where they work
their family situation?
All those stuff,
this is really private
so if you are
if you would for example
I know I've been to other countries
You can stop a person
you can ask
and they're going to tell you story of their daughter
How they got married and stuff like that
in Canada
unless you're a really close friend
Nobody is going to tell you
that kind of stuff so
in the way Canadians are
Too private
the other thing is if you're thinking that
you're going to come to Canada
and find a job right away
Well, that's not exactly how it works here
it takes time
It's difficult to find a good job,
and not every job is going to pay your bills
so basically
Meaning that in order for you
to pay your bills
You have to have a good job,
but it might take you like a few years
To get a job that you are searching for
so yeah,
if you're thinking that coming to Canada
would guarantee you an excellent job
Right away
it may
if you're lucky enough,
and if you're a hard-working enough
to get it
But other than that you would have to
spend a lot of time
and also Canada is not cheap
I've seen my friends from US
saying why the hell is it so expensive in Canada
Yeah, the cost of living here is huge
And if you think
and you compare the prices of how much money
you're making in Canada towards your country
Have to also consider the cost of living
so the chances are
Is the job that you're thinking
you're going to get rich by moving to Canada
paying all the insurance and all the living expenses
There might be not much left
After all of your bills
because the cost of living is really high
unless you know how to save
So these are the kind of negative parts
that I could gather...
and I would still say that ...
I am
Amazed by this country
it has awesome opportunities for everyone
And if I get a chance to immigrate and do over again
The same thing I would do it again
and again and again
like for example
if I would reverse the time and I would reconsider
Coming to Canada
would I come or not?
I would definitely come here
despite all these negative things
I just had to kind of brainstorm
and get all of them together because
People are asking me
tell me something
negative about Canada.
I want to know what what's like
What people don't like about Canada,
and I had to kind of think ...
really really deep to get it,
but another
In other ways yeah,
those are negative things
Cold country
Also, the cities are kind of small
they're spread
people are very private
They're not going to disclose their information
so you have to work a little bit more
people are not going to tell you they don't
like you
for example in Ukraine
on the interview
you go for an interview and
Interviewer is going to tell you
I don't think your skills are good enough for this position
This reason
that reason
these are five reasons why I think you should
you are not going to be considered..
in Canada
They're just going to say yeah,
you're perfect
everything is perfect
your interview was great
Thank you so much,
and then they're not going to get back to you,
so that's a difference
So consider all these
Negative factors that I tried to gather
for you and once again
I say that I would do it all over again,
and I would still immigrate to Canada
it's an awesome country
I love it here, and you know
For me the cold weather is not a problem
Anyways in Canada everyone drives cars
So I don't mind cold weather
searching for jobs
Yeah it might take you a few years to get a
Job that you're searching for
it might you might have to go to school
You might have to go to English classes
to improve your English
But that's not a problem
for a person who is willing to accept the challenge ..
yeah,
Canadians are more private
But once you start building the relationships ...
once start getting close with them.
You will see that
There is not too much of a difference
It's just that they don't want to disclose it to a first
stranger on the street like no it's like
It's a super awkward for them.
If you're going to come on the street
and ask them about their daughter or
something like that
It's super awkward.
So don't just don't do it
Its slightly different culture
another thing in Canada
Like if you're coming to come to Canada
and you're going to say I want to find
a specific Canadian culture
There is a specific band in Canadian culture like Hockey
You know beer like
Oh..there's lots of stuff yeah,
there is a little bit of culture
slightly different,
but it's so
Multicultural here,
and it's so diverse
So you wouldn't find that specific culture like
as if you would go to Eastern Europe to
some town or something like in Asia somewhere
Because it's a mix of all cultures
and you can find everything in Canada
It's what's difficult to find something
specific attribute only to Canada.
I hope this video was helpful guys
Thank you so much for asking me this question
It took me a few months to make this video
because I just couldn't gather any negative information about it
So that's why I am releasing it only now
And I still didn't like this topic
because I didn't want to say anything negative
about this beautiful place
But thank you so much for asking me these question
