In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on TikTok, a Ghanaian man based in Canada, identified as eaziblackmoni, shared that life in the country was not as rosy as many back home imagined it to be.
Dressed in his work uniform and speaking from inside his car, the young man explained that conditions in the North American country had deteriorated over time.
He offered heartfelt advice to his Ghanaian followers who are making tough decisions about leaving West Africa for Canada.
According to Eazi, he received countless messages from people pleading with him to help them relocate to the country. However, he warned that the reality in Canada today is far from the dream many people envision.
Speaking in Twi, he said:
"When people text me, it's like 'Oh bro, I really want to come to Canada'. But this is the situation here. The Canada you're dreaming of is ruined."
Canada-based Ghanaian advises locals on relocation
He added that anyone who has lived in Canada for 10 years or more would confirm that the country is not what it used to be.
In his words:
"For me, it's like things have really changed for the worse. If you know someone who has lived here for 10, 20, 30, or even 40 years, ask them."
Eazi also cautioned those planning to sell their properties in Ghana to fund their relocation against these ideas.

He strongly advised against this, suggesting that it would be wiser to invest that money in a business or property in Ghana instead.
"If you own property in Ghana and have a job, it's better to keep that than to sell everything to move to Canada, only to struggle here. Don’t let anyone deceive you," he said.
