Kanada Geyikleri was founded in 2017 by Eray and Evren, two friends who met during their high school years in Kocaeli and have maintained their friendship ever since.

The channel was created to share their thoughts, advice, experiences, and challenges about life in Canada after moving there, with the goal of presenting their knowledge and insights in an entertaining way.

Now entering its 7th year, Kanada Geyikleri has become the most content-producing Turkish-language channel within Canada, serving as a bridge between Türkiye and Canada.
