There are a many reasons why we immigrants pack up our bags and move to Canada.
But the biggest reason is probably a better life for our kid(s). That's if you have kids.
So, if you are looking to move to a country where you believe your child is going to have a better future, isn't that enough reason to get involved in building that future? Because the bright future isn't going to magically appear.
It has to be built. Brick by brick.
This is why Shilan Zade, who's running to be the next Conservative candidate for Burnaby North - Seymour thinks we all should get involved in building Canada's future.
Shilan joined me on The Newcomers Podcast to chat about:
Managing cultural misunderstandings as an immigrant
Why she’s running for office
The impact of language barriers
The power of our voices
Settling into Canada 20 years ago, and more.
People, there is no perfect moment to get involved in building the Canadian society of our dreams. Start now!
