Settlement

I arrived in Canada for the first time in late November. The cold night air hit me the second I walked out of the airport and it took my breath away. Because my wife’s house was far from the airport, we stayed in Toronto for my first night in Canada.

My wife thought I would enjoy the Keg restaurant for my first dinner in Canada. It was amazing. They brought me a free dessert to welcome me. We had breakfast the next morning at the famous Wally's Grill in Etobicoke before making the long trek to our home in Muskoka. Even though it felt like winter, I thought the drive was beautiful. When we got to our house, I had to pinch myself. I still can't believe I live in such a beautiful place. I had a job waiting for me, so I have been working full-time since arriving in Canada. I also make Jamaican Jerk Sauce that I sell in local stores and farmers markets. I'm known in Muskoka as the Sauce Boss.

I love everything about Canada. As they say here, I am living the dream.
