Hi
Hope you are well settled in Canada now.
Your timelines indicates that you landed in December.
Can you share your experience, did you stay or come back after landing.
I ask this because a lot of people are discouraging new immigrants from landing in winters.
Regards,
Dear I landed in December and i did not go back, I am here since then, My family landed in february, 2013. I wanted to land before my family so i found a job and get things at least in a good shape before my family come.
Yeah winter is cruel here no second thought about it.......when i landed it gets to -35 and lot of snow storms n tough weather for a guy like me who spent his 30 years in +45 to +50 temp....lolzzzz......but the blessing in disguise was......it made my immunity strong..now minus temp dont bother me........
it works fine with me, i got a job in walmart just after 15 days of my landing as a cart pusher......It was one of the hard job i had when ya push carts outside for 8-10 hrs in -30 to -35 temp.....but just after 1 month, they promoted me to courtesy desk associate inside the store and then again after 2 months they promoted me to customer services manager and finally in May, 2013 they finally promoted me as a front end manager.....and God gave me this success just because of 3 things....
1)- Due to the prayers of my parents.
2)- Due to support of my family.
3)- My positive attitude and i never complained about anything. I just worked hard....
so a better piece of advise from my own experience.........
Prepare yourself for worst because here in Canada, it will never be a free lunch....just forget about your past good jobs and easy life.....life is so cruel in initial months both physically and emotionally....ya gotta be strong and stay positive and it will give ya strength and patience eventually.
All ya need is ur first break in..some got it early and for some it takes few months so just remember one thing......."IF GOD send ya here then there must be some reason behind that move so just have faith on GOD and believe on urself" and ya will be fine here.
I aint talkin about my achievements because i m some kinda superman here but i just told ya my own experience that if ya work hard here then system is rewarding here...there has been a lot of twists and turns in my life of one year here which i will share later........but what i have observed that the most important thing in Canadian life......is ...........Financial stability and it come if ya got any kinda job.....
I am always available for anyone, Any help, any sharing of my own experience and any help with regards to jobs..but remember don't count on me..........believe on ur skills, ur faith, ur hard work and ur positive frame of mind and with blessing of GOD everything will be great here....
CANADA is great country having lot of opportunities.....
DONT be afraid of the winter......it comes to ya sooner or later so just do it and if ya will never stuck in the mud then ya will never learn......so be a survivor and learn and apply ur experience for your better tomorrow and i assure ya that better future is here as long as ya r happy with urself.....
Regards,
