My Experience When Moving To Canada

I was not born here in Canada, I'm originally from Haiti. I came to Canada when I was young and I only spoke French and Haitian Creole. In the beginning it was really hard adjusting to the new culture, life, school, making new friends, etc. it was like my world just turned upside down and I had to start all over again. Although Canada is a bilingual country where I was living, which is Windsor Ontario the majority of the people spoke English, most of the schools and government facility were also English places. I used to be really shy and quiet because I was afraid to be judged for not pronouncing or not understand what the words mean that is why when I went to school or any place that required me to speak English I just stayed quietly in a corner.

When moving to a new place, the first thoughts that comes to mind, "Moving to a different school? Meeting new people?" The terrifying thoughts coursed through my mind causing me to freeze in cold sweat thinking of all the horrible things to come with this new chapter of my life. Regardless, I am a fearless adventurer ready to take one a whole new exciting journey to exotic places, experiencing new cultures, meeting different people.

It can be very challenging to move away from the country you grew up in. Recalling all those moments of laughter, excitement, and adventure can only make one more and more depressed. I was born in Port-Au -Prince, which is the capital of Haiti and raised in Gonaives. I spend most of my early childhood in Haiti. I only knew my native language, food, music, and history. I was only familiar with my native holidays and celebration. Therefore, the day my mother came to me and told me I had been awarded my resident card, and we had to move to America. My life changed forever.

Canada, is well known for being immigration friendly over the course of history and it is an ideology that Canadians value. Immigration offers an opportunity for Canadians to seal in crevasses within the Canadian economy and stabilizes it from leaks which causes inflations and recessions. However, as opportunity presents itself, trade-offs are likely to follow. Today, Canadians are facing challenges regarding unemployment rates as well as increases in the cost of living. According to Collacott Martin, a senior at Fraser Institute who represented Canada in the department of external affairs, the housing prices are rising due to an increase in population among large cities in Canada. Collacott, predicted that newcomers of Canada cost between

Life will give you many opportunities to decide your future. It will give you different path and some different incident which reshape or impact your rest of your life. I came to USA from Delhi, India when I was 19 yrs. old. This moving experience has deeply impacted my life and made me the person who I am today.

My parents decided to move to Canada because they wanted a better life for her future family. They knew that life would be easier and have more in store for them in Canada. Before they left Hungary my mom was a teacher and my dad imported shoes from Italy.

The Federal Government of Canada should provide not only access to immigration but also make sure to provide new immigrants with opportunities. Firstly, there are still employment issues for Immigrants. According to an interview conducted by CBC, interviewing new immigrants and refugees, Sandy chugh, an immigrant said, "I don't see a lot of growth," when describing his current job. Despite having years of experience in marketing and a bachelor's degree from Ireland, the 32-year-old is working in a warehouse for the retailer Best Buy (Dunn, 2016). This relates to the issue as due to refugees and immigrants not having an absolute experience, yet being highly qualified for jobs, are not given equal opportunities than the natives who were born and educated in the country. Furthermore, to resolve this issue, the Canadian government must

In “Immigrants and Canadians, Maintaining Both Identities” by Andrew Cohen, which is part of a segment in the New York Times called “How Immigrants Come to Be Seen as Americans,” Cohen states that Canada is “…unlike virtually every country in Europe, we have no nativist party or institutional xenophobia,” and dubs Canada as a Mosaic of Multiculturalism. Why is this so, and how might the perspective that ‘Canada equals a mosaic’ play a role in this surprising phenomenon?

Immigrating to Canada six years ago has given me many opportunities. Being able to adapt to a new country, culture and learning a new language takes time and courage and a positive attitude. I have struggled learning to speak and write English, but despite that, I have demonstrated confidence in my actions and I have continued to make progress. Learning to cooperate with everyone with empathy has helped me gain self-reliance, confidence, and courage to help everyone regardless of their race, gender or beliefs. The word volunteer was not in my vocabulary until I moved to Canada, to which I am so grateful to have learned.

Canada is a country that is known as a "mosaic" of people and cultures, meaning; it opens it arms to immigrant families and gives them the freedom to express their own cultural values, ideas, beliefs and customs. It is this system that welcomes thousands and thousands of immigrants a year with open arms and the idea of a better life. This idea however, is sometimes not always as easy as it is thought to be. Though Canada is an amazing country for immigrants to start a new life and get better education, health care, and job opportunities, immigrant families are met with many challenges before they are able to become accustom to their new life. It is important to understand the true difficulty of the "Immigrant Experience" and the impact it has on families including adults as well as children. If it is easier to understand the difficulties immigrant families go through in search of a better life in Canada there can be more resources made to help them. It is important to take into consideration each individual difficulty that is faced and properly research each factor in order to have a better understanding on how to make the complete economic and societal integration of immigrants happen faster. There is a number of categories that relate to the integration of immigrants into society and a number of steps they must take to be a part of Canadian society. In order to understand these steps they have to be thoroughly researched.

Canada is a very generous country when it comes to immigrants. In 2014 Canada welcomed 265,000 new permanent residents. Canada's immigration system is very secure and prevents any terrorist from entering our country and at the same time has one of the number of immigrants every year. Canada also has a great point system because the majority of immigrants Canada takes in are skilled workers and this helps Canada's economy a lot.Canada relies on immigrants a lot because there are many elderly and not enough young people who are working to pay for the care of the elderly and Canada's fertility rate is decreasing and we can't just tell people to have more baby's since the cost of raising a child is increasingly getting higher with the 21 century, so to get more people to pay the taxes we turn to immigration and Canada needs many immigrants to balance things out.

Figure 3a to 3e provide some basic ideas of how young immigrates’ employment varies from 1991 to 2011 in Ottawa, comparing with that of the native-born Canadians. The horizontal red line represents the average employment rate of young non-immigrants each year while the blue line represents the employment rates of immigrants with different years since migration.

Canada has really strict policies and laws on who can immigrate to the country, and as a blooming economical place, people who have excellent experience will have a promised opportunity for jobs. In 2015 a new law came out economic immigrants helping them to come to Canada as fast as possible without any trouble. “Express Entry” is a major step forward in the transformation of Canada’s immigration system into one that is fast, flexible and focused on meeting Canada’s economic and labor needs. This will allow for greater flexibility and better responsiveness to deal with regional labor shortages, and help fill open jobs for which there are no available Canadian workers. Formerly referred to as “Expression of Interest” will be open to skilled

In journey of this life we are exploring many events and experiences which are most important to us. This experiences we gain it could be lesson for some of us, it could be mistake we made or it could be most memorable experience ever gained. Here are some of the experience that I gained in my life winning geography award, transition from middle school to high school and moving to Canada.

As I walked to the parking lot where my mom had arrived to pick me up from school, my sister ran out of the car, ran towards me and yelled excitedly, “We’re going to Canada!” Having grown up in Kuwait for my whole life of 15 years, I could hardly believe my sister’s words. Going to Canada! I had only been out of the country twice, each time just to vacation and visit family in the Philippines where both my parents are from. I had always imagined what life would be like outside of Kuwait, and now it was finally going to be real. My 15-year old self was devastated - We were leaving the only home I had known for 15 years. It did not take long for my sisters’ excitement to die when we realized that we would be leaving our friends and everything we’ve ever known and not returning for a long time. Life in Kuwait for 15 years was comfortable and we were more than financially stable. Moving to Canada without a job offer in place meant that we would have to start from the beginning all over again. Goodbyes were hard but my parents encouraged us to see the joys of moving to a place where we could start over and become accepted citizens of a country. Arriving in Canada, I experienced the biggest culture shock of my life. Vancouver, BC was cold, wet, and loud. I had thought adjusting would be relatively easy; I spoke English with a slight accent but I was very shy that it confused some of the other kids to think I couldn’t speak English. I did not understand the culture, which took a
