When the Canadian Dream Becomes a Nightmare
This post is meant to raise awareness about a growing reality many people are facing as a result of recent immigration developments in Canada
About two months ago, a young man was introduced to me through a friend. He needed my help shipping his 2021 Honda Civic to Nigeria
He had come to Canada on a visitor visa and went to seek asylum in an attempt to regularize his immigration status. Unfortunately, his asylum claim was denied. He lost at the court hearing, lost on appeal, and was eventually served a notice by Immigration Canada(IRCC) to leave the country or face arrest and deportation
With a heavy heart, he returned to Nigeria in May. I included his vehicle in one of my of May containers, which is scheduled to arrive this week
Earlier this week, as we normally do with our customers, I tried reaching him to notify him about the arrival of his vehicle and the outstanding shipping and customs clearing charges
On this particular vessel carrying his car we have over 70 vehicles, about 18 containers in it, so itโs been tough and busy time reaching out to everyone and coordinating to making sure the customer experience is seamless and effective
After several unsuccessful attempts to contact him, I called the friend who had introduced him to me. Through mutual contacts, we received heartbreaking news: this young man, only 28 years old, passed away in his sleep last weekend in Ogun State
While no one can say with certainty what caused his death, I cannot help but believe that the emotional trauma, disappointment, and stress of his immigration struggles may have contributed to it
Now, we are left with the responsibility of handling his vehicle. There is no one available to pay the shipping and clearing costs. He came from a very poor background and was the breadwinner of his family. His family has appealed to us to assist them in any way we can
I am currently working with the friend who brought him to find the best solution. We intend to sell the vehicle as also advise by the family and ensure that the family receives whatever remains. We will do right by them
Sadly, this is not an isolated case
In the last two months alone, I have heard of two other Nigerians in Toronto whose asylum claims were denied and who later died under tragic circumstances. One of them is currently in a mortuary, and friends and community members are struggling to raise nearly $10,000 for burial expenses
Let me be very clear:
I have never encouraged illegal immigration on this page, and I never will
Coming to Canada or any country with fabricated stories of persecution in your home country in order to obtain asylum is a very risky and tricky path
What may have worked for some people in the past is no longer working the way it once did, itโs tougher now and govt are getting smarter and stricter
Moreso, due to the outrage against mass immigration the new Govt are frustrating everyone with measure and introducing new changes that serves as โSilent k1llerโ to frustrate everyone.
Canada is officially in recession, itโs the only country among the G20 in recession. Canada is struggling economically. The grass is not as green as it used to be on this side. The reality today is very different from the picture many people are sold back home
If you know someone who migrated to Canada within the last 2-3 years, please be kind to them
Stop putting them under pressure.
Stop constantly asking them for financial assistance
Check on them. Encourage them. Show them love
Many are carrying burdens they cannot even talk about
And for those planning the journey to Canada, think carefully and do your research. No matter what anyone tells you, life abroad is not a magic solution to lifeโs problems. For many people, the journey is far more difficult than they imagined.
Nothing I say will stop people from pursuing their dreams, but at least let me help prepare your mind for the realities ahead.
ยฉ Yusuf Babatunde
God will judge us here in the Southern Church.
When Haman plotted the genocide of the Jews, Esther did not make a silent move in secret.
She went to the Jews and asked them to fast for three days. She and her maids fasted as well. Then she risked her life to approach the king.
That is the issue.
That kind of risk is what is missing today. Our leaders are afraid of what they might lose if they engage the government for the sake of the Church.
Esther said, โIf I perish, I perish.โ
She could have died, but she didnโt care. At the very least, she knew God would see that she tried.
And God would not have abandoned her, knowing she was standing for His covenant people.
Our leaders are not fighting for us.
They are repeating the initial mistake Esther made.
Esther first sent clothes to Mordecai, and he rejected them.
This is similar to sending food, clothes, and money to those who are being persecuted.
But this is not an issue of clothing. It is a matter of securing their freedom.
How can you send clothes to people whose lives have been marked for annihilation by Haman? How is that a solution?
Again, the Nigerian Church is not doing enough, and God will judge us here in the South.
