The good news is that the Canadian government is working to
reform the immigration process in order to minimize situations where successful
professionals come to Canada and can only work in areas that don’t even require
a high school diploma.
I don’t think the situation will change radically very soon
in spite of the changes being implemented. I still think that the knowledge you
have and your level of preparedness to face whatever challenges come your way
would make all the difference. If a university professor knew he might work
in a bakery or as a dish washer or cleaner or cab driver for some time; if he still decides to sacrifice the ‘good’ life he had in his home country for
reasons (such as doing it for the kids), then he would cope better when
confronted with tough situations. Defeat, depression, regret would not be
options.
I like to tell people that I burned my bridges when coming
to Canada. There is no going back – it’s not even an option. The thought never
crossed my mind, not even when I was in the darkest place. I believed that
someday, someway light would shine through the tunnel and warm my cold body. It
was exhausting and painful but it gets better by the day. For some, the
transition to better living is fast but for others it takes longer. Just being
able to hang in there is the key to survival and ultimate success.
One thing is certain: change will come; and for the better. But first, you need to be sure what you’re getting yourself
into.
HAPPY SUNDAY FRIENDS! Hope you have a great week!
