My Good People,
Exactly a year ago my family and I set foot on canadian soil as landed immigrants. its been an interesting and exciting journey so far. No regrets at all. i sit down alone here in Lagos and reminisce on the journey that started 11pm on September 21, 2012 via Lufthansa airways. What can i say? is it the about 24 hours of flight time? the anxiety of Landing process? Which area to live and the search for a place to call our own home? SIN, Health card registration? what bank and what type of account to open? Or is it the school for the kids? Also a major concern is which Church to attend? After all the above was sorted, we then moved on to phase 2:
How do we make our stay comfortable? how do we reduce the shock of relocation to kids to the bearest minimum? How will my wife cope alone while i return to Nigeria to make the much needed cash. How do we get the right person as Nanny for the kids while madam tries to find her feet? Also, was the weather which could be extremely HOT between December and February (As hot as - 30degrees
).
However, in all, its been a blessed one year. I encourage all that are about to Land to cultivate the habbit of reading and researching? Everything you require is in the public domain. I know majority of Nigerians dont like reading however, out there most of teh information you require will either be sent to you by e-mail, in one document or the other or available on the internet and you are expected to know or search for it as the need arise.
To those waiting for PRV, don't despair. it will come IJN and i can assure you it is WORTH it all.
Love you all.
