Re: 报忧不报喜
<HTML>You don't want to get so much pessimistic about coming to Canada.
However, you really need to be prepared and realistic about establishing a new life in a foreign land. Just image what kind of hardships you may experience when you go to a new country especially if you don't speak fluent English/French here.
Depending on your working experience and expertise, it may be so difficult (almost impossible) for you to undertake your original career path such as lawyer/doctor. In this case, you face more challenges of taking alternate career options or re-start from zero. If you are lucky (and possible), you may be able to get a job offer after your establishement and normally may take up to a year (during which, you may take part time job and study at Univ. to update your skills/improve your communication skills).
There are so many things here in Canada you can never expect to get in China, but it is also true that there are so many things there in China you can never expect to get in Canada. For those of us who choose to stay here, we prefer to live a peaceful, quiet, and self-dependant life here. One thing for your reference is that you must be strong enough to tackle any challenges ahead of you yourself whether financial or family. Be prepared and not scared. Your future is in your own hands not others!</HTML>
