How I Lost Moving to Canada

“I was broken by moving to Canada. When friends write that they are hunting for a Canadian visa, politely keep quiet! To be honest, a lot surprised me!

Today's edition. "Site" It will tell you what Canada can do. disappoint. All about living in an amazing country!

Moving to Canada

Some say that Canada is some magical world, not a country, others cry for life there and scold the country of maple leaf. Let's deal with it together!

The first thing written in all the books about Canada is safety. Canada is very tranquility Low crime rates, especially in small towns. My sister once told me that she forgot to close the garage (from which there is an entrance to the house) and went to work. By the evening, all things were in their places, only the garbage in the garage is slightly scattered - a raccoon ran.

In addition to security on the streets of cities and villages, financial security is also worth noting. If a Canadian citizen or resident needs financial support, the country will provide it. This was the case during the pandemic, with those who were unable to work being paid 2,000 Canadian dollars a month.

Those who have lost their jobs can also get unemployment insurance ($2,000 per month), which lasts up to 45 weeks. Those who do not have a home can receive shelter and food. It's hard to be poor in this country, and that's the truth.



A simple but hard-working Canadian has what not every middle-income family has in many countries of the post-Soviet space: a large house with its own garden, a couple of cars, a vacation in Cuba or the United States is close, and therefore affordable.

Branded things are not just for the rich. “Here we were able to buy branded quality things without thinking that these boots or bags would eat half our monthly budget and we would have nothing to feed the cats.” By the way, about feeding, thanks to the proximity of Mexico: fresh berries and fruits are frequent guests on our table, even in winter, thank God, they are quite available here!



It is also worth noting the people and their attitude. Canada is a country of immigrants, as almost one in five immigrants here. It is very difficult to feel like an immigrant.

I’ve never heard you say, “Why did you come?” my sister told me. On the contrary, if Canadians find out you're here, they'll politely ask you: How do you like it so far?



Canadians are inherently open-minded, polite (even too much), smiling and friendly. In addition, they are very tolerant of different religions, different nationalities and movements. Freedom of expression is really there.

They will never point a finger if something is wrong with you. They won't touch either. If you spilled, broke or dropped something by accident, no one will crucify you for it, but, on the contrary, they will ask: are you OK?



I really like the way in Canada. love and take care of her. In 2016, a forest the size of two Belgians was rescued. Once industry threatened the unique Great Bear broadleaf forest, the government decided to change economic models to preserve the site.

The water from the tap also flows clean. The sister said that when you take a bath, the water pours with a bluish tint. Many people drink water from the tap without even using the filter.

Peels Cons of Living in Canada Food prices in Canada are cheaper than in Europe. But the services there are quite expensive. Haircut, massage, manicure – all this is much more expensive than we are used to. Where people are involved, it is much more expensive.

Now let's turn to the pain of many Canadians and visitors - medicine. Yes, it is free, but you can wait for months to get to the right specialist. Don't you want to wait? No problem – go to a private clinic, but the prices there are huge.

And first you need to go to the therapist (admission to him is $ 100), and only then he writes out referrals to other specialists.



One of Canada’s biggest advantages is the beauty of homes, public buildings and the areas around them. Houses are well-groomed, clean, beautiful, there is no garbage on the paths.

But this beauty has its drawbacks. House prices Very high – from 0.5 million and above, and this also applies to apartment prices. At the same time, renting apartments and houses is quite feasible. By the way, in Canada, a rather low mortgage, but the price of the house itself is not small.



If we talk about the quality of products, then there is also a mistake. GMO products are being pushed out of the shelves organic. Many are forced to eat such vegetables and fruits that have no taste or smell, and vitamins can not be found in them, plus it is not very good for the body, but few people can afford to buy only organic products. Organic products are 3 times more expensive.

This may come as a surprise to you, but in Canada, it’s a big deal. holiday. According to the Labor Code, vacation in Canada lasts 2 weeks for those who have worked for one employer for less than 5 years. After five years, the employee receives a 3-week leave, and for only 10 years they are entitled to 4 weeks. But not so many people stay in one place even 5 years.



Peels

Communication in Canada is kept to a minimum. Children most often play in backyards, which can have swings, trampoline, inflatable or real pool and the rest.

If you want to take someone away or go to visit, then usually the details are negotiated at least a week in advance. Few people have friends, both among children and adults.

It's also pretty tight with entertainment. There are not many theaters, ballets, galleries, and concerts can be 2 times a year. Another disadvantage I want to mention. harshness In the northern regions, winter lasts about 6 months.



Peels Editorial Board Also suggest to learn all about the pros and cons of living in the country of fjords, Norway. The Northern Kingdom ranks among the top happy, safe and educated countries!





Peels Of course, there are disadvantages in every country. And I think you should know about them before you move. Knowing the pros and cons of moving and life in CanadaYou’ll be able to better understand if you’re in Maple Leaf Land.

From myself, I will say that I do not plan to move to Canada, but as a tourist to visit this country I have long dreamed of. Would you like to live in Canada or some other country, or are you one of those who always return to their native Penatas? Share your opinion in the comments!
