Prices of goods in Canada vs UK
In another TikTok video, the lady shared her first cultural shock in Canada. She stated that groceries are more expensive there compared to the UK.
Filming herself in a supermarket, the woman mentioned she was stuck with a calculator. The woman said unlike in the UK, she said that taxes on things were separated from their actual costs.
She wondered why both the taxes and the prices of the items she bought were not added together.
Becoming a homeowner in Canada
The lady shared another video of the family's first house in Canada as she talked about the things that helped them.
She, however, did not mention if the purchase happened before she arrived Canada, or her husband got it before she left the UK.
Gbemisola said it's a 5% down payment for properties under $500,000. She added it is good for an intending homeowner to consider their savings before making the move.
