Somalida ayaa halkan (Ohio) ku soo badaneysay seddexdii sano oo la soo dhaafey. Bilowgii 1995 waxaa ku noolaa 24 qof magaalada Columbus, Ohio qiyaastii. Maantana waxaa ku nool dad Soomaali ah oo lagu qiyaaso inta u dhaxeysa 12000-15000. Maalin walba waxaa yimaada soomaali cusub kuwaas oo ka imanaya xeryaha qaxootiga ee dalalka deriska la ah Somaliya.

Magaaladan (Columbus, Ohio) oo ah meel u wanaagasan dadka cusub oo aan luuqada (Af-Ingiriiska) aqoon, sababta waxaa weeye waa meel leh warshado iyo bakhaaro waaweyn oo wax looga kala raro bartmaha iyo bariga mareykanka oo aaney khasab aheyn in luuqadda la yaqaan.

Waa magaalo ilaa hadda dadka Somalidu sharaf badan ku leeyihiin oo laga jecelyahey, sababta oo ah waa dad aad u shaqeysta kuna jira tar-tan rag iyo dumarba.

Waxaa Dadkan (Soomaalida) aad loogu xushmeeyaa diintooda, waxaana qof walaba ku shaqeystaa dharka uu doono taas oo gabdhaha Soomalidu awood u yeesheen iyaga oo qaba xijaab in ay ka shaqeeyaan warshadaha iyo bakhaarada waaweyn (warehousyada), waxaa dadka halkan deggan qiimo badan ugu fadhiya dhaqankooda Soommalinimo iyo Diintooda waxaana ka muuqda isla weynankii iyo heybaddii lagu aqoon jirey Soomalida.

Inkastoo aad arkeysa dhallinyaro aan badneyn oo ku dayaneysa deriskooda. Gebo-gebo, waad ku mahad-santihiin dadaalkiinna, waana jecleysaney sida aad uga fakareysaan Soomali in ay iska war hayso meel ay joogataba. Soo dhawaada.

Immigration: Because of the absence of a Somali government to provide authentic IDs, Somalis lack satisfactory identity documents required for the permanent residency process.

The Undocumented Convention Refugee Class in Canada (UCRCC), introduced in 1995, requires people without proper identification to wait for five years before they can apply for permanent residency.

This situation further complicated the integration process of many Somalis in the fields of employment and higher education.
