I feel sympathy for immigrants because they are sold a lie that Canada is paradise. And then when they come here they realize that life is very expensive here and by then they're too broke to buy a plane ticket to leave.
Yeah $14 CAD/hr beats minimum wage in Nigeria. But how much does a 1 bedroom apartment cost in Nigeria vs. Canada?
The living conditions in Nigeria are very primitive. You need to fill a bucket with water in order to bathe yourself. Their indoor plumbing isn't the greatest. But housing is a lot cheaper. Better to bathe with a bucket than to be fucking homeless in Toronto. Especially if you are a grown Nigerian man who has mastered the bucket all your life.
In Canada we have so many regulations on housing that homelessness is rampant.
