“ Immigration is about family, not economics”. - The Documentary “Citizens”

Immigration ; The action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country.

Coming as an immigrant to a country may be for many purposes. These are the following reasons: family, social, political, environment, and economics. As in this case, my parents immigrated to Canada for economics and somewhat social reasons.

The two members from my family who immigrated to Canada were my mother and father. Me and my sister were later born in Canada after the immigration occurred. My mother, Hetal Patel, who came in 1996 and my father, Piyush Patel, who came in 1991.

My mother came for different purposes. My mother came to find a job after her studies as the economics weren’t that high class in India and the government wasn’t that caring about the public. My mother didn’t like how it was in India that time as too much crimes, corruptions, wars etc. When she heard about Canada and how the government had strict rules and was caring to the public, my mom decided to come to Canada. Technically my mom immigrated to canada for social, family, and economics. My father came to Canada due to economics. My father was done his studies in India and needed a job afterwards. My dad could’ve found a job there but there were less chances of getting a job in Indian than Canada. Even if he got a job offer in India, the salary would be low and not enough for how much you would have to work for. You would also receive a lower average salary for that job value compared to Canada and globally. So my mother and father both came for the same reasons and got together in Canada.

Everyone has faced difficulties after immigrating to a country. Whether it`s finding a job, it`s language barriers or facing prejudice, usually everyone faces has faced one difficulty. My parents have faced the difficulty of languages. My parents come from a country where the second language is english. They weren't familiar with a country where everywhere you go it's always english. But luckily, my parents did study in a school where it’s “English Medium”. That means they went to a school where they learned Hindi, Gujarati and English.
