first things first.
what is this blog about? why am i doing it? and who am i?
what is this blog about? simply put, this blog is an attempt to help filipinos who want to migrate to canada.
why am i writing it? since coming to canada 2 years ago, i have found myself constantly being asked about how i did it. i answer emails from family and friends. i give them websites to visit. steps to take. advice on what to do. and answer the ever constant question of what life in canada is like. more specifically, how life in canada compares to the life i left behind in the philippines.
who am i? i opened this account with the thought of not revealing my identity. however, as i write this, it occurs to me that readers would want to know where i am coming from and why my opinions are so.
when i was in the philippines researching about life in canada, i joined a couple of yahoogroups which aimed to "help" people who wanted to migrate. some have very encouraging words while others express such negative feedback that would make you want to stay put in the philippines. opinions vary. life experiences are never the same. i find that greater understanding of opinions expressed come from knowing who the writer is.
that said, i have come to terms with revealing some parts of myself. i am "new" to canada. it has only been 2 years since i landed here. hence, i write about life in canada from a newcomer's point of view and from somebody who still calls philippines her home.
so, join me as i explore canada. i will be posting information as i go along. and hopefully, help you in your quest to migrate to canada.
