Settlement

We had many trials before we came to Canada.  One day I heard some people saying that my husband could not bring me and our kids to Canada because we were waiting for a long time for our processing papers.  We were waiting for almost more than four years. I felt so sad that time because some people were trying to discriminate my family and that’s why I lose my hope.  In spite of that, my husband advised me to not lose hope and to just keep praying and trust that everything will be fine soon.  Then finally one day we received good news! The result of our papers came out with our visa to go to Canada. We were very excited and we were so grateful.

Our first day in Canada was so cold and we saw real snow. I like living in Canada especially in Rocanville, Saskatchewan because it is a very nice place and a quiet environment.  Also, people are so nice and do not discriminate on their fellow people.  Everyone has rights and has the freedom to decide, especially women and children.  At the age of 14 years old they can apply or they can start to work.

One thing more that I love about living in Canada is that our kids have more opportunities like finishing their studies and they can get a better job.  Canada is a very beautiful place and a blessing to my family.
