In recent days it has gone viral Diego Saul ReynaA 36 year old Mexican old as lives in Canada, for a video he posted on YouTube. This is not the first one he has published, since he has hundreds of them on his account that he has put online for five years. But the one that attracts attention now is the one where shows his house, a residence located in an exclusive neighborhood, next to a lake. The trigger for popularity is that he is a masonthen it shows the acquisition that someone with his profession can access in the north country.

“My new home in Canada, THIS IS HOW IMMIGRANTS LIVE”, is the name of the clip of a little over 20 minutes that Diego published a month ago on his YouTube account, which has almost two million subscribers. The idea of ​​the video is to take a tour of your new home, in which each area of ​​the house is described in detail.

The property, with its large spaces and numerous rooms, costs, according to Diego, 740 thousand Canadian dollars (around 12 million pesos). To buy it, he gave 40% of the total value as a deposit.

However, it should be noted that what caught everyone's attention, beyond housing, is that Diego has mentioned on several occasions that he is dedicated to the profession of mason, a profession that in Mexico does not exceed not the minimum wage as remuneration.

Diego is also a YouTuber. On his social networks, such as Instagram, where he reaches almost 200,000 subscribers, he appears showing the classic plaques with which the video platform recognizes the owners of accounts that reach a specific number of subscribers. The video of his new house alone already has more than 1.4 million views.

In his journey to record his daily life on social networks, Diego made it known that he is originally from Chiapas, a Mexican state that he left at the age of 16, to seek a better quality of life on Canadian soil. .

So he first lived with an adoptive family. They helped him learn the language and adapt to their culture. He completed his secondary studies there and it was then that he began what he considered to be the ideal profession for him: becoming a mason.

Then love knocked on his door: he met Katrina, a Canadian with whom he is now married and they have two children.

Among other things, one of Diego's main goals is quite explicit, one of the main goals of his videos on different platforms: to guide his compatriots and spread awareness of what Mexicans experience as immigrants in another country.

And some of the topics covered are how he adapted; the advantages and disadvantages of living in Canada; how he learned English; or what your medical appointments look like as an immigrant. Unfortunately, he was also, according to his statements, the victim of discrimination, whether because of his origin or his profession. These testimonials can also be found on their page.

Before his YouTube account, he said, he only uploaded his content to Facebook. But on one occasion, “I received countless requests for interviews, on different platforms: news, radio, Internet in English and Spanish; which led me to have many followers on the only social network I had at the time, Facebook.

Later, he decided to open an account on the video platform, where he has hundreds of videos, which made him an internet star.
