In this episode of Kindly Unfiltered, we had Iyalode of Ijebu & Iya Rosco go head to head
We talk about what it means to leave behind a home, career, business, family, friends, and a life you’ve already built in Nigeria. For some immigrants, moving to Canada can mean leaving behind a successful career and starting again from the bottom. We discuss the difficult reality of having your previous experience and qualifications undervalued, adjusting to a new work environment, and being told to take jobs far below your previous level of experience.
We also share the emotional side of immigration homesickness, culture shock, uncertainty, leaving family behind, finding your footing in Canada, and the pressure to rebuild your identity and career from scratch.
This conversation also explores some of the reasons people choose to immigrate, including safety, opportunity, a better quality of life, and the need to build a future in a place where they feel they can truly live freely.
If you're considering moving to Canada from Nigeria, immigrating to Canada, starting a new life in Canada, or simply wondering what life is really like for Nigerian immigrants in Canada, this episode offers an honest look at the experience beyond the usual immigration success stories.
Watch the full conversation and hear what it really took to leave everything behind and start over in Canada.
