Are U Migrating to Canada?
July 10, 2009We received our approval documents for our Right for Permanent Residence in Canada exactly two years after we filed our documents with the Canadian Embassy.
When we asked for the opinion of our relatives and friends who are now in Canada, here were their emails to us
From My Sister in Law:
plan wisely recession dito no good opportunity awaits you at this time. Sayang ang trabaho ninyo. The boys can stay and study here but I think ate beth and Tony better stick to what you are doing or you will not be able to find a good job here.Mahirap ang buhay dito. I am not discouraging you but as I have said it is a big decisions sa future ninyo you are not young anymore to start all over again. Retirement na dito 55 sa kung magreretire ka na and You got the money then ok you can just be here without thinking na magtratrabaho pa o magsearch pa ng job para may ikabuhay ka, The kids they can stay here and study here and you can just visit them every 6 months while working in singapore. Magpabalik balik nalang kayo. Call me or email me sa inyong decisions.
From Our previous neighbor who migrated a year ago
Hi Betty, Congratulations.!.. it’s only 2 years lang yun processing ng papers niyo. Ang bilis ah! Anyways, I call you na lang mamaya gabi or tomorrow morning kasi may work ako tonight. Recession pala dito ngayon, it’s hard to find a job kaya dami wala work ngayon and the economic is not good as that unlike in Singapore. Marami nga dito still they’re going back to Singapore and Middle East. They regreting to come over here. I don’t want to spoil your momentum pero that is the reality here. Siguro itry muna ni Tony to come & visit or kayo mag-asawa muna, or maybe huwag muna magresign si tony magleave lagn siya for 6 months upon arrival. huwag niyo muna ipagpibili yun bahay niyo diyan and don’t give up your work. Kelangan maka-stay kayo dito for 6 months to make sure na maramdaman niyo buhay dito sa canada. Life here is really tough and difficult. Payo kaibigan lang ito betty thru my experience now. Last time, we were invited bambi’s family to visit us here sa condo, we talked about the life here in canada. Hope you won’t mind to tell you all this things para rin sainyo ito. Kami nga we plan to go back to singapore once we get our citizenship talga mahirap. siguro naman bambi can help you out here to find work. marami nga dito sa church namin IT. i suggest to Tony na magapply muna online then gamitin niya yun addres nila bambi. pero kung may makukuha siya work before you come over here that’s be a great help for you esp kung sa field ni tony.
From my wifes best friend who migrated ten years ago
it’s hard to say. Hindi ko puwedeng sabihin na mahirap or madali dahil iba iba ang experience. Merong iba, suwerte kaagad they are able to get the job they want. Iba naman hindi. Ako nga, temporary lang sa agency for 2 years.
