Setbacks
As an immigrant, you hope for the best, but you know right away that there will also be setbacks. There are all sorts of ways to deal with that.
Great, it's all okay
Joyfully towards the new country
Arriving in a new country often brings a sense of euphoria. Things are fresh and new, and it energizes you.
Many things are different, and you enjoy exploring them. You want to build on them.
For example, the sheer space you have in Canada is infectious, as is the immense personal freedom many experience. Many also find the country's wealth a huge plus.
Unexpected, but still okay
Want to quickly adjust?
The key word is indeed always "adapt." In Canada, you'll encounter certain things that aren't what you're used to. Your pioneering spirit might just be tested.
Things are done differently in business, but you'll also notice differences in personal interactions. Canada won't adapt to you.
You are welcome but you must conform to the customs of the country.
Perhaps very unpleasant
You just can't accept it
A very common reaction to adversity might be to consider your options and possibilities. Could it possibly be better elsewhere? Do you want to go back?
By emigrating, you have shown that you are not afraid to take a big step in your life.
For some, this means that the next move is starting to come into view.
Can you love a country without actually wanting to live there?
Yes, of course you can have warm feelings for a country, a region, or a specific place. That doesn't necessarily mean you want to move there permanently. There are plenty of reasons why you might want to stay somewhere temporarily, but not permanently.
Emigration was once seen as an irreversible fact. You go there and never come back. Farewell was also literally goodbye. Times have changed, and customs have evolved. There's nothing wrong anymore with settling down somewhere for a while and then returning to your place of origin. Or perhaps to try something different.
Even for those leaving Canada, it was probably hard to forget the country's many advantages. Just the space, the freedom, and the breathtaking scenery. And yet, quite a few people still get back on their feet. Here are 20 reasons to leave. SWITCH.
Because everyone agrees: Canada is a beautiful country.
