hello po, i guess i know ur sentiments,we were in the same situation as yours, nasa saudie po mister ko then ako naman sa qatar.mga 5 months na kami dito sa winnipeg.maganda po talaga ang canada sa mga benefits at sa mga bata,pero to tell you frankly po, very challengingsa umpisa dito.kami po ng husband ko ay mgakaiba ng feelings at this point coming here, kase po, engineer po siya at maganda ang sahod sa saudie dati walang tax,medyo nahirapan po nyang natanggap ang situation na iba ang buhay dito.mahirap po kitain ang 1000$ dito.nahirapan din po kaming maghanap ng work.ang asawa ko po napunta sa sales sa home depot at shell.ako naman po sa awa ng diyos me work na rin, pero hindi talaga aktulad ng dati nung nagmimiddle east tayo na mabibili ang gusto.ang hirap na pong bumili ng more than 100$.advice ko lang po na magipon, mas maige po na madami-dami ang baon na pera papunta dito.dadaaan po talaga tayo sa point na gusto mo ng umuwi,kase kung balikan ang dati nating buhay na magaan ang pera.kaya ang asawa ko po gusto bumalki ng saudie para makagipon pa at makadown sa bahay.sa akin naman po,hindi ganun kalaki ang nagivr up compared to my husband's career.pero to prepare you po emotionally, talaga pong umpisa tayo sa mababa dito.at hindi po talaga madali lahat,importante po yung family support dito to suceed.shantei said:hi 501win!
aside sa good opportunity that canada has to offer for us immigrants..one reason i encouraged my husband to migrate is for us to stay in one place together (that is nung nasa manila pa ako at c hubby is nsa saudi). .mahirap ang matulog ss gabi ng mg-isa..lalo na makita ang anak n lumalaki na wala ang ama sa tabi..like you, i would prefer to take sacrifices there with my family than to live or spend my life separated with my husband..
now, we are here sa abu dhabi..my husband was transferred here..by the grace of God, he had the opprtunity to bring us here. we are together now, but still we decided to pursue with our plan to go to canada..because we know, there is security when it comes to providing the needs of our kids..especially education which we as parents would want to give to our children..we think not of short term goal rather we look of what benefits us in the long run..
.
btw,i am happy to announce to everyone that today, April 7, 2011, our PPR has finally arrived in my inbox!
Praise and Glory to God!
