I don’t even want to go outside anymore 🤦🏾‍♀️ (Personal rant about fobs in Canada)

[therealdrsomali]

I need to move when I’m done my degree cuz I’m tired fr. Canada (atleast where I’m at) is getting total flooded with fobs rn, particularly from India and West Africa and for me that’s double homicide. Even though I look fully Somali I keep getting mistaken as an international student even by other Indians. Because of the insane numbers that they’re coming in (hundreds of thousands every year) xenophobia particularly against Indians have definitely became rampant which I somehow am now dealing with. People are getting blown away I speak English now and constantly praising me (almost as if they’re relieved that I’m not an international like they assumed)

Now the west African fobs (and the Ethiopians fobs but there’s less of them.. They can tell I’m somali and basically start harassing me. Ethiopian fobs tbh have been worst to me I’ve had 3-4 of them straight up follow me an entire block asking to get my number. They sit next to be on the bus claiming they recognize me or some other way to try and talk to me. West African fobs are also bad. For example Yesterday I was on the train some dude was staring at me (turning his body backwards to look at me!) for like almost 15 minutes while nodding his head and making kissy faces (????). I could go on all day listing all the stories but this is already long (sorry). And before y’all try to blame me 1) it’s happens regardless hijab or not 2) I don’t dress suggestive or wear tight clothes any makeup so don’t try and put this on me. tbfh everyone who knows me tells me maybe its cuz (apparently) I look very “innocent” (I look a lot younger than my age and regularly get mistaken as a high schooler) so it’s more like they think I’m miskeen and imma put up with this when it couldn’t be further than the truth

SO what’s the best country for Somalis where 1) I fit in 2) no weird pervert culture like this staring and following 3) atleast relatively stable with a decent standard of living obviously… any recommendations

What degree are you doing? I live in Ireland, we do have an Indian and foreign influx, and renting is a pain in the ass, it is similar to Canada.

It depends on what you want really, and your lifestyle.

Pros:
Good salaries.
Access to cheap flights to continental Europe.
Friendly population.
English speaking.

Cons:
An influx of foreign refugees.
High rent
Shitty transport.

They're even filling up the Prairie provinces right now. Saskatoon with very little immigrants is now overrun with Indians everywhere.

I’m doing a physics degree (biophysics to be specific) tbh. Ik I might sound dumb for this but I’m still considering what I want to do afterwards (chose this program cuz it’s the best balance for me and I need to be challenged to feel motivated). I don’t want to go to Europe because I know for the most part the same things happening there and on my trip last year i felt a similar degree of hostility (and I was only in each city I visited for one weeks tops) . And pretty much all of my family is in North America so I don’t have much need for proximity to Europe

A decent amount of English speaking population would be nice (for when I first come) but ideally I’d want to learn the language of where ever i move to so it doesn’t matter much to me. What matters most for me is balance of fitting in and decent standard of living. The population needs to be of sound mind and have a decent culture (the last thing I’m going to do is move to a country where following random women is normal… I have enough of Fobs pulling that shit over here- moving to a country with a culture like that is akin to suicide for me).

I’d love somewhere nice in Africa but I have to do some research. Maybe Rwanda but i don’t know much about it other than what I’ve heard.

Come to Australia, Its the last bastion of Civilized, Non-Ciyaal Suuq, Good reputation western Somalis. (The downside is that the community isnt that tight in a few cities)

Right it’s getting insane I have no hope anywhere in Canada I saw a CTV news clip of an Indian girl in NOVA SCOTIA crying her eyes out that there are too many Indian internationals and she couldn’t find a job or place to rent. Fucking Nova Scotia of all places like wtf. Canada is done

And it’s gonna keep getting worse. look up the century Initiative they’re lobbying for 100 million people in Canada by 2100..

In 2020, I was considering Canada as the best place to move until I downloaded TikTok and saw how Canadians feel about their country. The final blow came when I started seeing the large influx of Indians coming into to Canada on student visas accepting anyone, leading me to give up on the idea.

Afterwards, I considered the US and have already made some plans regarding that. However, if Project 2025 comes to fruition, it might turn out to be a bad idea.

I've also been contemplating Australia, which might be the best option out of the three. I can't think of any major cons when it comes to living and working there. Their immigration system is also very strict.

Yeah you have to be born there or in new zealand and the gates for immigration to australia has closed and its hard to get in, but I will assure you its worth the process.

 

[Freudiantard]

I’d advise you to move to Australia or New Zealand, its English speaking and there’s a small and established community of successful somalis who you’d be able to integrate with and there are job opportunities there, regardless of your degree

The Nigerian and Punjabi international students and foreign workers will slowly be leaving from now until 4 years as their study to work permits expire. They are also capping and reducing current study permits. I heard non-in demand people are not getting extensions (which are basically all). Things will get better. Please contribute to the sticky thread and voice your frustration in the mean time. This is just an unfortunate period of our life after electing Blackface. Canada has to face the consequences of electing that sociopath narcissist globalist allowing McKinsey and Company to write our immigration policies but thankfully this is a democracy and he's 15-20 points behind in polling. The nightmare will end.

 

[AbdiFreedom]

Winter is going to be a nightmare. Indians can't drive during clear streets. I had near misses with them; at least once a week and I am a very defensive driver. They buy their driver's licences. I used to enjoy driving but now I have PTSD and I too don't like going out anymore to drive or to go to the store which is where I'll have to deal with them the most. Just increase your hatred and racism towards them. They are getting the message.

Are things this bad for you guys in Canada? Damn I was thinking to move there and cuff a cute xalimo.

 

[Revolutionarry]

Unfortunately, there's no escaping them. They are everywhere now.
God, they make me hate being a human.

Here in the U.S, you can go to the smallest town, they are there.
They overran every university in the country.

I'm curious how often do somali international students arrive in North America???

I see a bunch of Indians and Chinese coming to North America but rarely any Africans.

If the somali international students don't come to North America where exactly do they go?

Also which African country has the most educated somalis??? Is it Kenya?? Are Kenyan somalis getting scholarships to come to school in North America?

I don't think any western countries recognize somali passport.
