Settlement

Canada immigration form with pencil and maple leaf

My name is Sarah. I'm married and have three daughters. We came to Canada four years ago, and it was a new and different beginning for us. I said goodbye to my family and friends with sadness, and I long to see them again.

Here in Canada, we got to know cultural and social differences. I met Canadian friends who are very nice, and the country is beautiful. I visited Calgary, Kelowna, and Victoria, and we are exploring many beautiful places and scenery. My children are happy with life here. It's a quiet city with wonderful beaches, and I dream of visiting Niagara Falls in Ontario, where my aunt and her husband live. Canada is a country of love and peace, and I love peace and hate war and bloodshed.

I'm waiting for summer to come so I can enjoy the weather even more and visit places with my children and husband. We are a happy, small family. We love adventures, social life, cooperating with each other, and encouraging each other to achieve our dreams. I love Canada and consider it my second country. I wish to visit my country and see my family, as family is a source of strength for everyone, and love and peace in a country are also strength for the individual.
