“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be a reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” -Lao Tzu

6 Things that change forever when immigrating to Canada

 

Immigrating to Canada and starting over is one of the most terrifying yet one of the most exciting adventures ever. Life as you know it will eventually change and you will have to get used to accepting the fact that what is in the past is in the past. Transition is not easy and as a migrating to Canada is not a guarantee of your success but it is up to you how you could handle your future. Let me say, hard works, patience, perseverance, and building up connections are the keys to achieve it.

 

    1. You will be part of two different worlds, one world that will start to become more of a blur over time, and one that you will get more familiar with. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s over, it’s more of an experience and growing more as a person.

 

    1. Little by little, you get used to what the Canadians are doing, and you eventually learn from it. You will step outside your comfort zone and try out new things. You will be part of a new culture and it’s a fantastic feeling.
    2. You get wiser as time goes by. Moving away and leaving the people you care about is hard. You will quickly realize what stays and what goes in life. There will be people whom you will get closer with, and there will be people who will distance themselves. Try to figure out what you want and what you have outgrown.

 

    1. Things will happen that is out of your control, and life goes on with or without you. Exciting things will happen to your friends, and you will miss out on family events. You will probably miss out on many things that are happening back at your old home. It’s hard to accept, but we all have to go through that change.

 

    1. You are going to lose most of your friends after moving to another country like Canada. You could always try to keep in touch, but eventually, you will realize that it is not the same as before and the conversation becomes flat, and relationships become loose. You will feel a bit lonely moving into your new place. Don’t let those feelings get too deep; try to remember why you moved in the first place.

 

    1. New opportunities. This will be the best part of the whole process. Moving to a new country is your new chance. Another chance to create or even start over your life. A new opportunity to meet different people, find interesting jobs, get involved with the community, and try out unique food. The process will be exciting, and maybe even hard but it will all be worth it. You will finally understand that the little things you used to stressed about was all for nothing. You will become happier and stronger.

 

 

It becomes challenging to figure out where home is, as it will change over time. Sometimes, it’s where you spent your childhood memories or where you lived during a significant life event. Sometimes, it is where your heart is.
