This is the story of Eric Mani, an African migrant who once lived an upper middle class and middle class life in his home country of Cameroon, Central Africa before immigrating to Canada as a skilled immigrant, hoping to notch a better quality of life for himself and his family. Believing in Canada’s promise of unlimited opportunities for new immigrants and confident in the experience he had earned in his field of journalism and communications both in the United States and his home country, he realized there is a huge disparity between the way Canada is presented to immigrants from “developing countries” and the realities on the ground. Facing a seemingly endless list of constant trials and tribulations, Eric transitioned toward living a life beyond the Canadian working class and struggled to make ends meet with income at times below the minimum wage. In the process, he discovered a society where hiring discrimination and institutionalized racism, though silent and hidden, are prevalent and firmly established. Mani shares his personal struggles and experiences to help future immigrants make more informed decisions. This splendid work of art with its combination of humorous and emotional content, will take you on a fascinating, roller coaster ride as it highlights the trials and tribulations of the author's life in Canada.
