Moving somewhere is a big decision, especially moving to another country. Everything is foreign, from environment, weather, food, lack of familiarity with the surroundings.

Take on whatever jobs we can find and be grateful while setting personal goals and sticking to the plan. Financially, even before coming into Canada, one must calculate the needs and budget accordingly (this is why in part CIC is setting a minimum settlement fund that corresponds to the size of a candidate’s family).
