Kiitos. It's because I was a bit of a trouble maker in school and hyper so she feared social services might try to take me away from her and then decided to come to the UK.Was it your parents decition to move.

Hate to say but that is kinda true. A big part of the reason they went is the benefits rules was tightening up elsewhere.Most Somalis living in the U.K originally came from other EU countries which damaged the older Somali community who were known hard workers and had a good reputation. Now it's mostly benefit leachers and poor education performances from what I have heard.

Have you been conscripted yet?I ain't gonna be deported but I am thinking about going back to Finland after I am done with my studies. f*ck being in post-Brexit UK.
Canada? That's a shithole man, especially Toronto. You think I will swap Finland for Canada?

The embassy asked me about it in 2015 but when I go back there I will have to do it, it's mandatory.Have you been conscripted yet?
It definitely played a part as it became easier to get houses compared to flats even though a lot still live in flats. Racism and a lack of opportunities to progress also played their part.Benefits in the UK are LOWER than in mainland Northwestern Europe where most of them came frome.
It's more to do with learning English, especially for the Somalis in the other euro countries. Many Finnish people speak good English though.It definitely played a part as it became easier to get houses compared to flats even though a lot still live in flats.

Many of them thought that British education was superior = (international language etc). And the bigger Somali community. They didn't come for the lower benefits of the UK.

Toronto > Finland
Toronto is extremely diverse, and majority East Asian/South Asian. Why would you rather go to Finland than Toronto, when Toronto is way more accepting and has more of a Somali population?
IMO, raising kids in those kinds of countries that are pre-dominantly white would be a bad idea. It was easy for me growing up in Toronto, where my schools & neighbourhoods were very diverse.Nordic countries are always at the top of all the human development stuff.. but IMO it's kinda of boring to live there, but good to raise kids etc.
There's a sizable Somali community in Finland. Stop being scared of cadaan. If you can't handle living in a homogenous cadaan country then Canada is for you I guess.IMO, raising kids in those kinds of countries that are pre-dominantly white would be a bad idea.
