uchi Posted June 30, 2012 It's an amazing story, well done to her. How many Somali's are actually in Canada? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaliyyah Posted June 30, 2012 I don't think anyone knows the exact number. But, they are estimated to be around 200 000. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GaraadMon Posted July 1, 2012 200,000?! The only source for that number is either that Somali professor from Calgary or someone from the Canadian Somali congress (I can't remember which). I'd say we are at 60-70,000 at most in Canada (the census puts us slightly below that). I doubt we make up 1/3 of the black population. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluelicious Posted July 1, 2012 ^^ Lol you already thinking of asking her hand in marriage to her father just because she is a doctor/surgeon come on. I applaud her for going against the odd and never giving up on her dream. Relentless does pay off in the end. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted July 2, 2012 MashaAllah, what a hard worker! Well done to her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElPunto Posted July 2, 2012 Damn this shit about 'from desert to doctor' - how is it intelligent people allow their entire country and background to be defined as 'desert'. Caku qashinkaan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted July 2, 2012 ^ That comes as standard. It's our unique selling point. Beyond that though, it doesn't take away from her determination and hard graft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juxa Posted July 2, 2012 Masha Allah and well done to the sister Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElPunto Posted July 2, 2012 ^unique selling point? More like foolish and false self denigration. Actually if she has the ability to change this bs about desert to doctor - then she has willingly chosen to bash her background in order to make her 'story' all the more 'herioc'. And that takes away from her accomplishments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
