Hi,
I am a 17 year old high school senior that is currently living in Macedonia. Prior to this I had lived in Canada since I was 6(prior to that my family was living in Dallas, Texas in the us). Ever since I was 6 I had never left Canada and had been attending school their since the first grade until I finished grade 11, summer 2012 when my parents convinced me to go back to Macedonia(small country in the balkans) to visit my birthplace and get to know the rest of my family. Since I had never been their since I was 3 years old I agreed.
I arrived their during mid July 2012 and attended a local english private school for a semester. I was originally planing to graduate their and come back to Canada for college but then I realised how the school was designed to cater for people that wants to learn english, instead of native english speakers such as myself. Which left me lost. I needed a translator nearly everywhere I went, I was failing all my non-english classes and those those that were in english were all science oriented classes which isnt my strong suit so i got away barely passing.I also realised how much I miss my friends and my life in Canada, since I was having trouble socialising with people that arnt comfortable speaking english.
Id like to add that I am not a citizen nor a permanent resident card holder nor is my parents. How ever I have 4 younger siblings that were born in Canada that are citizens. My father is currently living in a rented house in Canada under a work permit. My mother and siblings are here with me in Macedonia also trying to gain re-entry. Although neither my parents are skilled. My father has been driving tour buses and trucks and is a very experienced and qualified driver. My mother has a diploma from a Canadian university in nursing. Which qualifies her to be a nursing aide. But im sure neither of those technically counts as skilled.
Right now school is out and im in-between semesters. What I am trying to do is get a visa go to Canada and transfer back to a Canadian high school for the new semester. Id like to graduate this year. But if push comes to shove I am willing to repeat grade 12.
My mother is taking a trip to the nearest Canadian embassy in Vienna to get a temporary multiple re-entry tourist visa. But she says that if I were to also request a visa it would ruin her chances and then neither of us could leave. She says its much better if she leaves first then I try to get a visa separately. Although that would mean I would have to spend another semester here and miss being able to graduate alongside my friends. Also I would probably fail the year ruining my chances to get in to a decent university.
If anyone could give me some advice or knowledge on how to accomplish this I would really appreciate this.
