Some thoughts about what it is like to have moved to Vancouver, Canada from South Africa

Is Canada REALLY for you?!?! Make your list of positives and negatives and sit down with your family before taking the leap. Immigrating to a new country is HARD! It is NOT for everyone. Yes, there are lots that you need to leave behind or change. BUT there is also so much you get in return. And it is a VERY personal decision. And unless you are sure of your reasons to go, rather stay. What is important to you? What do you love/like or don't love/like? Security? Freedom? Schooling? Public Transport? Family and friends? Leaving family and friends? Friendly citizens? Job opportunities? Natural beauty? Outdoor life? Weather? Renting/housing? Banking? Medical services? Driver's licence redo? The immigration process? Paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwork!!! Are you a patient person? Are you determined to continue, no matter how long it can take? Do you have the money to see you through the process? Are you happy to start over? Can you deal with being on the opposite side of the world from South Africa? 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 We are a South African 🇿🇦 family that moved from Johannesburg to Vancouver in 2021.
