We are a small family from southern part of India, looking forward to migrate to Canada under the Express Entry stream. We are a three-member family consisting of myself Appala, my caring wife Lavanya, and our loving daughter Saranya. We have plenty of reasons to choose to settle in Nova Scotia permanently and the one that topped the list is – it is really a great place to raise our kid. I was an entrepreneur working with local municipalities as a public works contractor, ended up with huge losses due to the delayed payments and had to wind up the business. Subsequently, I attended Southampton Solent University in England and completed my Master’s in Business Administration (MBA). Post qualification, I gained more than four years of full-time …show more content…
Firstly, we would prefer to live in a less densely populated province where the people are truly joyful. Most importantly, we would like to be respected no matter what job we do as we would prefer to be respected based on our values rather than our financial success. Furthermore, we would like to adapt a lifestyle of our own rather to live by other people’s standards. Finally, we would like to explore the true purpose of the life. I lived for about two years in the city of Southampton in England while studying my masters. I couldn’t help but notice similarities between the city of Halifax and the city of Southampton in many ways, including a slower-paced lifestyle; friendly people, welcoming communities, diverse cultures, maritime type climate, ease of public transit, clean air, and nearby beaches. Did I forget to mention the maritime museums (Titanic) and the nearby islands with beautiful coastal scenery? With a flourishing economy, a sense of caring community, high quality of education and a progressive sense of sustainability, we strongly believe that Nova Scotia is the perfect province and Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) is the perfect place for us to start our new life. What better place could we replenish our dreams and desires, but in Nova

Malik tells her audience more about her story whereas the scholars who published the study provide an academic report on their research. In Malik’s article she is describing her immigrant experience in a small town on the east coast. This is a personal experience in a very particular part of Canada. Fitting in would be hard for her to do in any small town, being on the coast, however probably made it more difficult as they are known to be a pretty tight knit conservative society. Connections can be made between the two articles about immigrant experiences finding jobs. From Malik’s story we hear her parents taking months for them to finally find jobs, but she does not give any reasons for this. The scholars go more in depth about this in their report discussing why it was more difficult for them to find jobs. Malik briefly mentioned her education level, but did not talk about it long. For most immigrants however extending their education is not uncommon. In fact the study reports that there are parts of Canada where the percentage of immigrants that go to post secondary schools are higher than some Canadian born residents. These numbers could be slightly off though do to the fact that Canada brings in so many international students, studying just for a year or being a full time student. The study did not only discuss third tier cities like Malik talked about living in Cape Breton, but also looked

As we go about our daily lives in the beautiful country of Canada which we have been blessed to live in, it has become normal to see a woman who wears the hijab walking down the street, or a Black family driving on the highway, or an Indian man wearing a suit and tie heading into the office. Canada’s cultural diversity is something which makes the country so special to live in, and instances where we see people of different cultures is increasing everyday. Many of the newcomers who arrive from overseas into Canada are families, with children and youth ready to begin their new life filled with opportunity here in Canada. However, youth who settle in Canada with their families aren’t exempted from the trials and tribulations youth face. In fact,
Canada is a country that was built by immigration. Every year, thousands of hopeful immigrants come to Canada in order to have a better life. And for some, a better life can be achieved. However, for many others, this is simply not the case. In recent years, the number of visible minority immigrants has increased. And while this country’s ethnic diversity has benefitted from this influx, the economic landscape has shifted in a way to disfavor them. This economic disparity can be found through the income inequality that many immigrants face due to their educational background, low social and cultural capital, and occupational choices. It is these factors that have led to an overqualified work force, higher unemployment rates, and a widening
In 2011 May 7th, my parents brought my twin sister and me to Halifax, Canada, in hope for a brighter future. That brighter future meant a healthier environment to live in and a better opportunity for our education. A few months after our arrival, we heard of a high standard program in Toronto, known as TOPS. My parents decided that TOPS would be our key to that bright future, and so we decided to move to Toronto. After a couple of weeks, we packed our bags and headed to Toronto, where our bright future lay.
Canada is a great place to live, because it is very diverse. country. The sand is a sand. It is multicultural, it’s considered a Melting Pot. Many people from many nations come together to make this country special and unique to us.
This substantiated unease stems from the fact that provincial child welfare programs still actively contribute to the development of structural conditions that foster the overrepresentation of Indigenous youth in the child welfare system. Scholars note, “in order to break the historic pattern of removal of First Nations children from their homes, child welfare agencies must be equipped to provide investigated First Nations families the supports needed to address factors that pose challenges to their abilities to protect and nurture First Nations children” (Sinha, 2013). One particularly excellent suggestion for reducing this social problem is to develop an “Aboriginal Mothers’ Advocates Office or Institute. This would provide a formal organization to help Aboriginal mothers navigate all aspects of the child welfare system within the Province of Manitoba” (Bennett,
One major issue affecting many people trying to make the decision on where to live is their quality of life in either extreme. Health, education, transportation are three major concerns that many consider. In a city, pollution surrounds you wherever you step whether on the streets of a busy financial district or on the lawn of a large park. Pollution could possibly cause health problems later in life. In the country, pollution is scarce. Fresh air, rolling green hills, a few pieces of litter here and there but pretty much everything is clean, and wow! No smog, you can see the stars! In the country, childhood education, kindergarten through twelfth grade, is significantly better than in a large city; smaller class sizes and larger budgets create excellent learning environments. In cities, public schools are often plagued with very large classes packed into small spaces. Teachers with low pay, and little or no dedication are thrown into classrooms to teach, resulting in poor education. Transportation is very accessible in city environments. Public transportation, by way of subways, busses and ferries, are cheap and easy ways of getting around a metropolis, whether going out to work, school, or for a night on the town. In the country, everyone needs to have access to his or her own vehicle. A commute to work or school is about an average of forty-five minutes!
Is Canada worth living? What things are there that makes people to emigrate from their home country to Canada to spend their next years of life? Canada is a relatively young country by world standards and has successfully developed and remained as an example of relatively peaceful and prosperous multicultural society. Although there is no doubt that are still crimes happening in Canada, unlike the American, the Canadian society proved that it is possible for different peoples, races, and ethnicities to not only live safely together, but to thrive together. This is a good proof to describe how Canadians feel free and proud in their homeland.
The charms of live in small or large locality can be different. In my opinion it depends on way of approach to life. In young age life in larger city lets more possibilities of development for example we can choose better high school or else as well as we have wider choice of major of studies. In larger city we have to deal with quicker technical development. There exist larger possibility of finding work (more institution of employment, schools, offices and so on).
In this course, Canada is divided into six regions; the Atlantic Provinces, the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands, the Canadian Shield, the Western Interior, British Columbia and the North. These six regions are based on either economy, landforms or politics. The Atlantic Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador is a region focused around the economy. The population shares many historical and cultural ties and is characterized based on their moderately low incomes and the high unemployment rate therefore relying on financial aid from the federal government.
