Canada-based Ghanaian Angela has stated that despite living in a developed country, Canada has its challenges and effects of living in such a system.
In a chat on SVTV AFRICA with DJ Nyaami, Miss Angela stated that it is easy to feel broke and lonely in Canada. She mentioned that women are expected to be independent in their marriages.
“You may have a good marriage in Ghana, but once you travel abroad, it becomes new. Here, the man does not pay for everything and it is also just two of you in the house. You can become annoyed by your partner because there are barely any programs to attend like in Ghana.”
Moreover, Angela added that monthly rent payments and good credit in Canada and abroad are key. This makes immigrants especially pick up multiple jobs to cater to bills while taking care of family in Africa.
“All these things affect us mentally. I experienced this personally. I worked night jobs for a while and had no time to sleep. I had to take care of the house and kids during the day and work at night. I had to quit the night shift to focus on my health. You may get the money but die early,” she noted.
