Hello forum members!

It has been quite a while since I last posted about my experiences here in Canada. Well I have been very busy and keeping busy is good :) It has been 10 months since I landed and so far it has been a roller coaster. First the good news, I have been working in the same company now for 9 months and as a show of their appreciation for my hard work and experience, head office decided to give me a raise. Every penny/dollar counts especially if you are being paid by the hour so I am very thankful for this blessing.

And now for the bad news, I find it difficult to study and work full time and be a parent on top of all of that. I try but 24 hours a day is just not enough and so my professional license may take longer to get than I expected :(

But I am not losing hope. Pitfalls can be expected and its how you get around them that matters. I wish all of you luck in your own Canadian dreams and find comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone :)

Good on you, Trina! That's, great news to hear you got a raise! I hope all your hard work will continue to benefit you and your family and somehow you will get a break and have the time to do the studies you wish to complete. Congratulations.

Congrats on the raise Trina.

Just go easy with stressing yourself. Once a while, take a break and go out to a park with the kid and forget about everything. remember "once a while" only. :D
