Diary Of A Newly Arrived Trini In Toronto



October 8th --
We have arrived in Canada !!!. Finally!! This marks a new chapter
in our lives. It's very nice here. It's a little cool, but who needs HOT weather? This is perfect: Not too hot; not too cold.

October 15th --
It is getting a little cooler, but we are adjusting. We bought
some sweaters today and went for a short walk. Loving Toronto !!!.
This is what life is about!!!

October 30th --
The weather is definitely cooler now. We taped all the windows
shut, so cold air cannot creep in. Outside may be cold, but it feels like Port-of-Spain in this house.

November 11th --
The news reports say snow is on the way ... we cannot wait!!!
We have never seen snow and it should be pretty exciting to see
it for the first time.

November 14th--
It started snowing. The first of the season and the first real
snow we have ever seen. The wife cooked Pelau and we sat by
the window watching
soft flakes drift down, clinging to the trees
and covering the ground. Could never do anyting like this in TRINI & IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT!!!

November 15th--
We woke to a lovely blanket of crystal white snow covering the
landscape. What a FANTASTIC sight! Every tree and shrub
was covered like a beautiful white mantle. I shovelled snow for the
first time and loved it. I did both our driveway and the sidewalk.
Later, the city snowplough came along and accidentally covered up
our driveway with compacted snow from the street. The driver smiled and
waved and I waved back and shovelled again, Torontonians are so friendly!!!

November 18th--
It snowed an additional twelve inches last night and the
temperature has dropped to around four degrees. The cold
weather is not so bad. We can take this. Not at all as bad as we
imagined. Several limbs on the trees and shrubs have snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shovelled our driveway again. Shortly afterwards the snowplough came by and did his trick again.
Much of the snow is brownish grey.

November 19th--
Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush, which soon became ice again. Bought snow tires for both cars. I slipped and fell on my backside in the driveway, paid $130 for the chiropractor, but fortunately, nothing was broken. More snow and ice expected.

November 20th --
Still cold. Sold my wife's car and bought a 4 X 4 in order to get to work.

November 21st--
On my way to work, the 4 X 4 skidded into the guardrail and did
considerable damage to the right fender. We had
another 15 inches of white shit last night. The vehicle have salt and shit all over it. More shovelling in store for me today! De dam snowplough man did he job again.. Watch me an' him!

November 22nd--
Yuh believe dis? De first heating bill just come! How de hell it come up to so much???

November 30th--
Its two frigging degrees outside! an' more snow on de way .
Every damtree in de yard geh damage up. An' to crown it off, de power went out mos ah the night. We try to keep from freezing to death wid candles an' kerosene heater, but de heater tip over an' nearly bun dung de kiss-meh-ass house.
Ah manage to put out de flames, but end up wid second degree burns on meh hans. Ah nearly bun off meh eyebrow an' eyelash. Den de car slide on de white shit again on the way to de hospital, an' we had to write it off.

December 5th --
Look at meh crosses! Dis snow ain't plan to stop soon. De ting comin' down and down as if it go never stop!! What de arse is this?!!! Ah had to put on all meh clothes dat ah own just to go out to meh mailbox. This is real shit! If ah ever catch the prick dat drive dat snowplough, ah tell yuh, ah go cross one lash in he arse. He go bawl like ten Tarzan when he get it. Ah really tink he does hide round de corner and wait 'til ah finish shovelling, den come down the street fas, fas, an' cover up we driveway again. Boy, ah tell yuh!!!

December 10th--
De power still off, de toilet freeze up. Some part ah de roof look like it ready to cave in.

December 15th--
Another mudder ass eleven more inches ah snow an' ice!!!! God know
dis aint right. Ah put ah hole in de snow plough with me pick-ax but the driver get away by the skin of he teeth. If he feel he go be so lucky next time, he lie!!!

December 16--
De wife take off and lef me,

December 18--
De car cyan start an' ah tink ah goin' snow-blind. Ah cyan feel me toes an' ah din see de sun fuh weeks ! ! ! ! ! An' guess wuh? De weatherman predict more snow !!!! Yuh believe dat?!!! An' de win-chill is 30 friggin degrees below zero! !

December 22--

Dis TRINI moving back home TODAY before dis God forsaken, kiss-meh-ass place done kill mih arse an finish mash up mih family!!!! If ah ketch a flight, at least ah could reach Port-of-Spain fuh Christmas and indulge in some good LIQUOR and PARANG! Toronto could haul dey arse!

Hello Forum Family! Hoping all is well.

@Can4Vincy Best of luck in your son's surgery. Also wishing him a speedy recovery.

@Saka No need to stress and get yourself worked up. At least not yet. You'll be fine cuz this process has an end even though for some of us it's taking a long time to reach that end. You already know what you're up against so just be prepared and remain optimistic.

Would love a ppr or update before the start of the weekend. C'mon POS!!!! Let's go!

@ Champion D - we saved only some phone bills as we have been in a long distance relationship for 6 years now....and immigration wont accept phone cards. Try calling his phone company to see if you can get records. It was getting sooo expensive for me to keep calling Trinidad that I ended up "toping" up his phone with Digicel online and kept my credit card records to show I paid for those. Try not to worry too much about it because there are alot of ppl that only use phone cards as a form of calling each other just because it is the cheapest way, and if you have other evidence that makes everything ligit, you will be fine :)
How do I go about with the retirement investment as I was told by my bank that I would need an RSP and its solo.......
