Blessed to be in Canada where there is peace and development

The most important decision I have made is to come to Canada says Guy Gérard Chabe Ngako, a  new Canadian citizen. This is because Canada is a country where peace prevails and those who have come to Canada are blessed, he says.

Talking about what it means to be a Canadian, he urges one to consider what is happening around the world and compares that situation with that in Canada. Canada is a place where there is peace, development and opportunities. There is integration and people are welcomed here, he says.

Guy Gérard Ngako Chabe Narrator (speaking in French): The most important decision (laughter) … that… that I have ever made is the decision to come to Canada, because I think today that all those who decide to come to Canada, those who come to Canada, they’re blessed. It is a blessing for me, because when you see what is going on in the world … around the world, everything that is happening, you realize that Canada, in all this, is a country of peace, integration, people are welcomed, and there is development, there are opportunities.
