Canada was my dream country. I always wanted to come to
Canada and when the opportunity stroked, I just grabbed it. Little did I know
that this wonderful land of dreams has stored for me. I still remember that
feeling when I left New Delhi and board the Air India plane, I was so nervous.
I was full of dreams and aspirations. I was full of hope to make my life worth
living.
When I first landed, people were amazing. Everybody was
welcoming. It was -25 degrees outside, but I was sweating as I was passing
though the immigration doors. I was having mixed feeling. I was happy. I was
nervous. After me and my husband were granted entry, I was excited. I was all
ready to get started!
I stayed with my grandparents for a little while. Staying
with them was very beneficial as I had got lots of knowledge because of them.
It was easy for me and my husband to adapt because of the help of my
grandparents. Things changed after few days, though. I guess they were habitual
to live independent and so, we moved out.
After moving out, life took a big turn. I guess we both were
safeguarded by my grandparents. Ground reality hit us when we first went to buy
grocery, furniture and a mobile phone. Things were not at all same like in
India. Things were way different here. I came out as a cultural shock, but we
finally found our path and destiny.
This is when I started my blog
shrutispointofview.blogspot.com and tried to help others like us. This book is
a short pocket book but it basically contains information which I had struggled
to figure out and when I finally did, I shared with all the newcomers I came to
knew.
My ebook Tips for New Canadians: Welcome to Canada talks about important tips which are very helpful for new Canadian Immigrants. Buy it and read it :)
I hope this book is able to help you!
