My story

My name is Joanna. I’m from China. I have lived in Canada for almost two years. My family lives in Georgetown. I have three daughters and I love spending time with them. My husband is a great man. His business is in China. I go back to China every year to visit my family in China because I miss them a lot.

I came to Canada in 2014. I wasn’t happy because I spoke bad English and I often stayed home. But now I like Canada, everything is good and I have a new life. I can go to school and learn English. School is free and teachers are nice and pretty. We are like friends. Now I can speak English so I can meet new friends.

Canadians are very nice and polite. Their gardens’ flowers are beautiful and colourful. But winter in Canada is too cold and there is too much snow. Snow is beautiful, my daughters like snow. They went skiing last winter. Driving in winter is not very safe. The sky in Canada is always blue like a picture. There I fresh air, no pollution for health. My cute dog and I enjoy walking to the park under a nice weather. My favourite season is fall. The trees’ leaves change colour and they are very beautiful. It makes me happy.

I must speak more English and watch more TV to improve my English. I will also volunteer in the Georgetown library. My plan is to find a job that I like in the future. Thanks for my good teacher.

binan alshami

My name is Banan, I am from Syria. I was born in Al Hassaka, it’s a small city. I studied there from elementary until high school, and then I moved to another city called Homse to study in a university. But while I was studding, I got married. When I graduated, I become a mother. I have a daughter and a son. After getting married, I lived in United Arab Emirates. I lived there for thirteen years moving between three cities. Unfortunately in the last year my husband lost his job. 

When he had been terminated from his work, he and I decided to leave U.A.E and move to another country. Then we chose Canada to live in, we have many reasons to choose this country first, we have relatives and friends that are living here. Second, it is an open country. But the main reason is because  Canada receives all people throughout the world without caring about their nationalities. We hope to find a better future for us and for our children.

Canada provides a good life for all especially for kids and grandparents. Everything is different here studding, health care, justice and equality. I have been her for one year. I like the life here, eveary thing is arranged and organized. There are many diverse communities, and whenever you walk you can find the kind of people who are ready to help you as much as possible.

I am looking to improve my education and study in a college. I also wish to change my life style to be more active person with an open mind. I will try to communicate more with others. Moreover, anyone who lives here will be lucky to have a great opportunity to live in a safe haven and enjoy many other facilities.

Arrived in Canada

Hi everyone!
My name is Wafaa. I am from Lebanon. I am married and I am a mother of three children, Two of them live in Dubai, and the third in Canada. I arrived in Canada on 27 July as a permanent resident. I have visited Canada before several time and I like Canada very much. I like reading books and cooking my favorite dish rice and chicken and also hummus "fatouch". I am looking forward to learn  more English.

 Hi! our theme today is to write about our life story so I’m going to tell you about my problems, jobs, goals and something I have seen or learned in my life.

This moment I learned that sometimes it’s hard to introduce yourself because how much you know yourself how much you do not know where to start with.

First my name is Nizar I’m 21 and I was living in Beirut the capital of Lebanon. I came to Canada one month ago for too many reasons. The big point is to live in a peace place, to  get higher level education and change everything wrong in my life.

 I’m a person who is positive with every part or every reaction in my life. I like to read, to see, actually to try new things to increase my general knowledge.

I’m interested in art and especially in drawing.

I’m interested in music too, I was in the Conservatoir Music School learning drums. I like to feel music and “Pink Floyd” is my favorite band. I like to be alone and sometimes surrounded with people. I like to be happy that’s why Bob-Marle is one of my favorite singers. I like to think, to dream I like the respect for humanity that’s why I like Einstein and Martin Luther King. I like to live in a place that enables me to achieve all my goals and Canada is the right place for that.

Now my plan is to complete all my education in Canada: music, Art, English and Graphic design in Sheridan College. Finally I just want to thank Canada for caring for humans, Canada's natural places, and for caring for animals and more... my words are not enough. Hope everything will be perfect I will try my best and I will presist until I succeed.
