How did I move from Trinidad 🇹🇹 to Canada?

I know that this video is 1 year ago, but better late than never. Welcome to Canada. I moved to Canada as a landed immigrant with my parents and 2 of my 4 older siblings in 1990. I remember that day like it was yesterday, I remember flying on the L-1011 TriStar 500 (miss that plane) with everything we owned and then waking up the next morning and seeing snow for the first time. Even though I have lived here longer than in the country of my birth, I identify as a dual citizen, still a Trini, but also a Canadian. Back then, it was a lot harder to move to Canada, but now I think the process is a lot easier, because as you said, Canada needs skilled workers, but what is hard is the high cost of living and the damn taxes and it's on everything.

@@andrewwilliams2193 thank you for your insight! I will say the cost of living is really challenging now. I won’t discourage anyone from coming but it’s just a reality

[@darknexus851]

Congrats, now all you need is a Job and an apartment and you'll be good to go. I hope everything works out for you.😊

What’s the average cost in TTD for the full application process ? Excluding airfare and accommodation Did you do IELTS

[@cher868]

Hey yes I did IELTS. It cost around $2000 TTD.

[@greenlum]

@@cher868 the express entry application cost 2000TTD?

[@cher868]

No, the cost of the IELTS exam was around $2000TTD. The amount of money / total cost of immigrating depends on the type of program/ pathway you’re taking.

[@bestress04]

You are hilarious! I'll need more videos please!!!

[@cher868]

Just uploaded one! Check it out 😊

[@tahirahhobson5316]

I would be so afraid to do that.

[@cher868]

Be brave you can do it tooooo 🤗

[@Kimmy_95]

I'd be afraid to. 1 of many reasons is due to the fact I could not afford to finish my Bachelor's degree so I don't think they'd view me as an asset (skilled individual). Picking apples might be my only option. Not that I'm looking down on that but it's sad my 7 CXCs & Certificate in BM is useless outside.

[@cher868]

I get your perspective totally, but any way you can get your foot in the door is just as good an opportunity any! When you arrive, you can find a way to pivot and get to where you want to be. Many have done it before us 🤞🏽

[@Kimmy_95]

@@cher868 Thanks for the motivation & for posting these videos. It's hard to find vlogs about migration by (Trini) content creators so this is a great help. I just (Subscribed) & keep up d good work.
