So, are you still considering leaving your home country?

For some people, interest in relocating to Canada is Utopian. You have a great career as a pharmacist, university professor, medical doctor, or some other professional.  You believe that as soon as you get to Canada, you would immediately find a job and continue in your chosen profession, earning in dollars. A BIG DREAM. A worthy one too.

However, there are some steps to take to get there. From getting an immigrant visa - that's if you have chosen to come via that route - to arriving at your chosen destination (city, town) and settling in, finding a job, reading and passing professional exams (if it is a requirement to work in your profession), then searching for jobs, and perhaps, a few other steps because no two situations are exactly the same. For some people, it takes about a year and for others a number of years. It is not fixed. There are many variables to consider.

So, are you still interested in coming here? What are your motives? Are they strong enough to keep you strong and focused in the face of challenges? Are they important enough to help you weather the storms? Are they important enough to make you burn your bridges once you arrive in Canada?

One thing I can promise you: if you are hopeful of a better life for you and your children, especially the latter, then it is worth the sacrifice. It is worth the pain and struggle, many times over. Your children will thank you for it tomorrow!

Good luck and have a great week!
