Canada

Horseshoe Falls, also known as Canadian Falls at Niagara Falls. View from Canada

I like Canada because the people here are nice and good. Canada has lots of beautiful places like C.N. Tower. It has very pretty views from upstairs. I really like celebrating Canada Day and having a good time. I want to tell you a little about my life in Canada. First, I arrived in Canada on June 26th with two begs and a broken heart because I left my parents, family, friends and my job.

The situation in my country forced me to migrate to one of the best countries ''Canada'' with goals for my future. Every start is difficult, but I always think of the best.

The first thing I knew about Canada was Niagara Falls. After a long journey and seeing the beauty of that place I felt a peace seeing the sunset and the rainbow filled me with great hope. It was a special day and beginning of a new life for my husband, my husband's family and me.

I lived in Toronto for a year and it was a great experience, especially with the multicultural surroundings and enjoying family activities in the parks on the lake etc. I visited several places and one that I love was the Aquarium.

I didn't know any English but with the help of the government I started my classes with excellent Canadian teachers. My progress is incredible for me. I did not speak any English and now I can work in a Subway and a motel with my English.

Coming to Canada was a very good decision because my future is here.
