(article mainly inspired by people living currently living in Canada)
Traveling or living far away from its own country represents something magic for many people, or just a dream to realize. Tunisian doesn’t break this idea (we are a community issued from Phoenician, a traveler people, so our blood is filled with such behaviorآ
). This small article will try to give some informations about current Canada reality & opportunities.آ
I- Bad things
1-racism
As all countries around the world there are some people who consider themselves like “centenary old trees” , it means they don’t want others come and live where they are, they cry: this ground is ours, don’t come here and share it with us,those people are simply racist (xenophobia behavior). This kind of behavior could be understood in Europe as for example in France where many people are deeply racist or Bavaria (in Germany) where the extremist Catholics dominates the politic scenes, but in Canada a relatively new country** آ such behavior is stupid because this â€کcountry’ is made by melting between its different cultures, and that makes it’s strength.
Anyway, don’t be afraid, you will be confronted to that in isolated â€کholes’ places or in francophone places mainly***
2- An opportunity only for â€کelite’
Canada is very selective country, andآ chooses its settler, thus accept people with some conditions, the main one is: You are able to satisfy their lack of workforce in your specialty field.
3- Some stupid law for us Tunisian
I want to reveal this little real story of a Tunisian man, which occurs last winter:
This man had two children, one day he goes to bring them back home from maternity. The weather is veryآ cold, and they are still very young so he proceed by bringing one by one from maternity to his car, he bring the first children and put him in the car, close the safety belt and the car, and go to bring the other(it will take less than 1-2 minutes),when he come back, he find a policeman writing an infringement (contravention),because as he said, the Tunisian man hadn’t the right to put children alone in car without the belt safety closed(in meantime the little children open safety belt by himself, little monster
).
4-Bad healthcare system
The failure of Canada’s experiment with socialist medicine is readily apparent: long waiting lists and wait times for specialized services, conveyor-belt treatment for routine services, chronic shortages of family doctors and hospital beds, gross inefficiencies, slow innovation, stifling and wasteful bureaucracies, so better don’t expect to be illness in CANADA one day.
I remember what a canadian writes in a newspaper:آ “Sometimes I want to be a dog,because being an animal allow me to have good health care at least !”
5- Complex migration formula
آ The procedure could take between two years and up to 3 years for someone who want to become permanent residents, and is expensive.
II- Good things
1- You are competent,experimented with potential, so welcome to CANADA
Contrarily to France for example, where many people will say:آ go back to your country; Canadian people will said: Welcome to CANADA, they said that because they know you are a new positive element in their society and give you the opportunity to advance, if you have potential of course.
A simple example: Michaelle Jean became the first black woman to be appointed Canada’s Governor General. She is also the youngest Governor General in Canada’s; imagine that in any European country.
2- Quality of living & technology (the most important points in my eyes)
In technology field Canada is ranked 6 in 2006****, so there are no doubt,Canada is a country for those who want to evolve in high level technology environment
Also,depending in this survey ,cities in Canada dominate the tio rankings in quality of living.
3- Happy news for francophone people
In Quebec, francophone people are welcome, because politicians there feel that English dominates largely in Canada so they want to makeآ balance between the two major communities.
4- Very beautiful country
google ‘canada pictures’آ words and you will see how beautiful is canada
5- Respect,respect,respect
In Canadian law someone can’t cry over someone else, the respect is a main concept in Canada
6- Tunisian people
Tunisia people had good reputation there(until now !), so I hope this image will not be distorted by stupid Tunisian.
7- Respect toward other communities
Canadadian choose not to publish Mahomet caricature, because they respect other communities, and this action will injure one of its major community, contrarily for example to French people who find it a great occasion to injure one of their major community.
8- A good renowned country in the world
Canada has good reputation around the world,it is a peaceful country,for example canada don’t participale in the last war against Iraq.It citizens are considered as simple persons (without tunisian â€کtkambine’,’takti3 wa taryich’),simply because they are civilised country.
III- Miscellaneous
-English part is better than French one, it’s had more resources because it has deep economic relation with USA.
-Tunisia people who lives in Canda don’t want other Tunisian to go there,simply they don’t want others to share beautiful things with them,it’s a recurrent attitude among them,they stay there for years and at the same time they said bad things about canada (ettounss lettounssi â€کjamra’ ,mech rahma),so I advice to make as little contact as possible with Tunisian people in Canada.
