Canada

Canada is awesome because it is a country with a balanced view of life and freedom. I like to live in Canada because it is a safe and open society, full of opportunities for everyone. Canadian people are respectful of each other and welcoming.

When I talk about Canada with the people back in Ukraine for the most part I only talk about the positive things. I have lived here over four years and I never faced any racism in Canada. I have heard “Thank you” “Please” and “Sorry” very often, more often than anywhere else indeed. Canada gave me a second home that is slowly becoming my first. As well it gave me better living conditions and gave a lot more opportunities to my kids. Also, when I talk about Canada I talk about the nature and the weather. The exceptional climate makes Canada a wonderful and unique country in the world. It is very cold here and I don’t really like winter time, but I have never seen a country as beautiful as Canada. When the snow has covered everything in white, with the sunlight, it is amazing. It is also wonderful to see green grasses and beautiful flowers in the summertime.

In brief, Canada is still the safest and most beautiful country full of opportunities where it is good to live. My family and I are very happy that we made the right choice by moving to this wonderful country.
