He had arrived as a new immigrant in Canada only a few years before, seeking a better standard of living for his family. He chose to enter the field of Real Estate because he sought to help his fellow immigrants by providing them with their own homes from which to begin their new lives as Canadian. His desire was to help newly landed immigrants create wealth by owning a home and start building equity instead of making landlords rich. Victor Diji originally from Nigeria, has also helped many clients of Caribbean immigrants and non-African origins achieve their dreams of owning a home.
