text My Story on yellow background

My name is Yuriy and I live in Grenfell, Saskatchewan, Canada. I was born in Khorol, Poltava region, Ukraine and lived there until the age of 33. I Immigrated to Canada as a provincial nominee through Express Entry Program. In August 2014, I arrived here with my wife and kids and settled down in Grenfell. We have lived here ever since and made many friends. I am a very sociable person and so I make friends very easily. I visit their homes and they visit my home. We play games, watch movies and have a good time. I also like drawing, painting, and playing outdoor games like volleyball and badminton.

I have a unique family. All the members of my family are caring and open-minded. They always support me to do well in whatever I choose to do. They never pull me back instead motivate me. I am very happy and lucky to have this family.  They love me a lot and care for me. 

Right now, I work as a herdsman on a dairy farm. Farming is my passion. I like walking around the barn every single day.  I usually have to start my day very early; it is a tough life but I love what I do. One day, I plan to buy my own farm. 

I like to live in Canada because it is beautiful and full of opportunities for everyone. Canada is one of the countries that is relatively safe and that is why I chose Canada as my home.
