Hi lina,
By reading your brief story I feel really sad on your pathetic situation to raise your kids in Israel. Most of the readers know the situation over there since last 30 years or more. I hope you may be able to find a peaceful future life in Canada with your kids. You have not mentioned about your educational qualifications. Any how you can do a self assessment about your eligibility to immigrate to Canada by using the tools shown in the CIC website. I am giving the main link of the site from where you can navigate to the respective pages accordingly. Good luck!!

I dont think life here is rosy either, please go over some of the post of new immigrants. It will give you a good perspective
 
I second Newtone's comment. Check the salary you would be getting in Canada from Hertz, and the hours you would be required to work, before assuming that things would be easier in Canada.

Also research the cost of living. To raise two kids in Canada, I assume you'd need at least $4000 per month, less about $800 in income taxes. This is nowhere near a luxurious existence. And you'd be living in a smaller city (not more-expensive Toronto or Vancouver).

There are many threads about the cost of living in Canada in this forum.

But I hope you do find that moving to another country (if not Canada, then somewhere else) will solve some of your problems. Can Hertz help you find a job elsewhere? If so, Hertz may also know about the cost of living in those countries.

Good luck.
 
Hi to Newtone and toby, very good suggestions from both.

It seems from her post that Lena Ibrahim wants to get out from her country with her kids mainly because of the increased cost of living, worst security situation due to political instability and continues fighting with neighbor.
