My name is Jaime.
I was born in Bogota Colombia South America.
I have been in Canada since February 2011.
I have been living  in Milton for four years.
In my Canadian family there are six people: my daughter Carolina, her husband Marcello, two girls,
Paula 9 years old , Vanessa 6 years old, and my wife Amparo and I.
I had been working as Veterinarian doctor with cows for many years, now a days I have my own farm where we milk our Brown Swiss cows.
My youngest daughter who is now in Colombia is the one who is in charge of all my business.
I  studied in Colombia twelve years at school and five years at the university.
I came to Canada because my son-in-low and my daughter sponsored me.
My advice for newcomers is that they have to know some English and also to be sure that they can work in the profession they had studied.

Hell everyone, my name is ki ok kim.

I first came to Canada in 2005 and I have been living here ever since. I used to live in Mississauga, but in 2009 we moved to Milton. I live with my son, daughter-in-law and twins. Before I came to Canada I was a store owner that sold clothes in Korea, my home country. My education in Korea was different, I only graduated from high school, I did not have the chance to go to university or college. I came to Canada because my son was supporting me and invited me to come. My advice to newcomers is to be with family so you can support eachother

I want to give advice to newcomers that come to Canada. During the winter you need more time in the morning because the harsh weather can make you late. In the winter time you need to wear really warm clothes such as winter jackets, sweaters, hats, boots, and mittens because it gets really cold in the winter. The winter weather is harsh so make sure you wear warm clothing and are careful going to and from work. Enjoy winter time in Canada
