My family and me, we came to Canada in 2002. We stayed with non status since six months after we arrived. The reason is we liked this country, and we have all our family living here, mother, brother, aunts, uncles, etc. At home was only my father, but he passed away in 2003. We have two kids, one is here since she was 5 years old, she's going to school and she's adapted to Canada very well, and the other one was born here.
