My life in Canada for the last 18 years, prison, a near deportation and why people should come | LNN
If there is one thing Alex is advocating for, is for Kenyans to go to Canada and not give in to fear. He has been there for 18 years and to him, the place is great and any determined person will eventually make it.
But, he also knows what it means to be imprisoned and almost deported from the same country .
So, how exactly did prison change his life, why was he never deported and what can we all learn from his journey ?
Here is Lynn Ngugi with today’s episode of LNS Rebuilding series

In Canada and any other foreign countries job opportunities are there..if you get a chance go and try building yourself. If it doesn't work out it won't hurt to go back to Kenya!

Brothers and sisters i live in Canada and this country is one if not the best in the world. Don't get get me wrong, of course nothing is perfect and that being said, in Canada we work, work and work and for those blessed with coming from peaceful countries like Kenya you can come here and make money to build something big back home. Minimum wage here is $15 an hour and I can guarantee you few people in Africa make that amount even a month. However, for an educated African obviously you want more than that and you should come with skills that will allow you to make at least $30 an hour. Skills now needed are those like in the IT, plumbery, car mechanics, nurses, electricians, construction industries. These guys make more money than those in the offices with university degrees. When I say this I'm not talking about those who learned those skills from the streets, I'm talking about approved credentials. One more thing you should know is that coming here as a single person isn't advisable, couples make more money and achieve more.

Excellent interview Lynn! Thanks Alex for the inspirational story.
Watching from calgary well said i just joined the Kenyan community in Calgary.i cant imagine leaving Canada
This is so inspiring... I still want to go to Canada and I will keep pushing
Amazing power talk Lynn & Alex. Alex is so positive about everything & this is the spirit i want 🔥🔥 No giving up! Thank you for the info Alex. Be blessed 🙏
I like the maturity of Alex about everything. I lived in 🇨🇦 for 4yrs in the early 2000 & it was a lifetime experience. I now live in the UK, but most people who talk bad about 🇨🇦 went there with that quick rich mentality so that they can show off on social media or whenever they come back to Africa for a visit. Any country that offers free top-notch healthcare, education, unlimited job opportunities, clean drinking water, good service delivery etc is good for sane people who want to better their lives. If you get that chance, grab it with both hands. Stay away from those fake KZread wannabes who're looking for content by instilling fear on you. & most of those people always moan about how bad 🇨🇦 is for content views, but you'll never hear them saying they're leaving 🇨🇦, 🇬🇧, 🇺🇸, 🇦🇺, 🇳🇿 etc.

They should interview us who went to Canada before smart phones. Ok, black berry was the thing then, but only facebook was upcoming social media platform. KZreadrs were not making miragtion vedios or house tours, this is what i wore to Beyonce concert( meanwhile Beyonce was having concerts then) Now people move to Canada and want the house that a youtuber is show casing on her channel. They want quick quick. I am glad i moved before social media was a thing. I had nothing to compare Canada to. Infact those days if you landed into a good host family, you were pretty much set.

@johnienijohnie For, me it is good. I've been here for a while now & I know how the system works. Avoid paying a lot of 💰. If you want to come, try using British owned companies & avoid black African owned care agencies. I've seen them exploiting their fellow Africans. If you're a degree holder, you can use the skilled route to come. First, check the govt skilled jobs that are on demand & take it from there.
Very informative and inspiring. Thanks for having this guest on your show Lynn.
I love how our brother has put everything straight. I went to Canada as a student and went through the same system that’s going on right now. I got my papers and moved south to be with my parents. I have always encourage people to move there wakipata chance and they have to be serious about their lives. The system was overwhelmed by influx of people and it will absorbs all Kenyans. I always ask my friends wenye wako Canada to help and host as many Kenyans or African as they can. Canada is good and kama haikuwa canada I won’t have come to the USA. If you have a visa kwenda canada. Go to other provinces like Alberta, Nova Scotia, Manitoba mahali hakuna large population.

Yes! I can affirm you that, as a South Sudanese full Canadian citizen citizen since 2001 (22) years here, the brother (Alex) have said; the truth 100% about the life here in Canada. Remember, United States of America just 25 kilometers South of the border here is totally different in comparisons.
Thanks so much for that conversation...very informative I will never be discouraged daring abroad especially Canada. Keep it lit LYNN!
Alex is talking the truth...i have been here for 4 months and i tell you Canada is good... character development ndio lazima.. and it helps you to go through the process and you get what God has kept for you and what you really want...i encourage people to come if you get a way. For agent.. they really help in getting the Visa.. that is all.. don't be cheated on anything else.. you get here you get into the process and you have to do it for yourself.. but Canada people and government are very helpful...i thank God i came..in whichever way i can't regret..i thank God 🙏

Thanks Lynn once again for always inspiring us I can tell you for free we look forward to more of your shows. The guest was of great help since he is a resident hence give first hand information he also sound quite informed with the Canadian laws.

Thank you Alex for speaking on behalf of many of us here in Canada. I have been here for 22 years and I believe the few that say Canada is not good is because things didn’t work for them. Just like in Kenya many can’t say Kenya is working for them. Great opportunities in this Country, Canada.

Alex, your honesty about navigating the Diasporan journey, bureaucracy, and transformative, evolving experiences is so openly honest. Also, your empathic understanding for those willing to try but, reminding them to remember to consult God first for everything

I love the candid talk that has given me insight on what to do .
So, there's a price to pay for everything in life... you like the beauty of roses, you'll have to put up with the thorns. Love the beauty of the rainbow🌈? You gotta put up with the rain😅 nothing worth having comes easy. Not in Kenya & certainly not in Canada😊 myself, I came to Canada from Kenya, Eldoret. 30 someodd years ago. Never been homeless and haven't experienced any severe hardships. I attribute this, perhaps, due to the fact I've always never lost sight of my objectives, to be successful. And, success to me does not mean you're hoarding tons of cash & sleepless nights. It means you live within your means & don't fail to plan. Go to bed early, wake up early, exercise, eat well, socialize, keep up with your industry trends & apply this where you need to. You don't need 3 Mcmansions. You only need one small house to hold you & your loved ones. Do not try to keep up with anyone. Mind your own business. Live & let live. Let me know how this works for you 😂
