在加拿大

刚才在trackitt上看到一个很好的移民故事，发给大家看看，也是很好的经验，文章太长。祝大家顺利！Hear is my story... take the time to read it, if nothing you might at least save a few pennies and a couple of sleepless nights. But before that I just want to mention that I have met a lot of immigrants, some who have done well some not so well and others worse. The common line among all the immigrants were certain qualifications and these are a must according to me and my experience if you have to succeed, if you don't have these qualifications then you will be putting yourself in deep trouble. At the risk of sounding dreadfully dull and at a horrible effort at instigating motivation here are the qualification you need to have: a, Determination... If you are not absolutely determined its a waste of time. b, Perseverance...The heart to go on in spite of all odds, never failing to loose the strength to take another step, NEVER NEVER give up, its your life and you cant give up on it. c, Hard work....Try to be the best in whatever you do, don't work hard because you have to or because you are being watched just work hard coz you WANT to. Even if you are polishing shoes and if you are the best in doing that you will achieve glory someday. NOT BORN TO BE A MEDIOCRE attitude. d, Good Heart.... A good heart to help people in need, may not just be financially (if that is not possible) but a kind word, a passionate hug, an encouraging line to any fellow in need. A genuine good wish and prayer from someone thankful can even move the Heart of GOD. So, my story then, My God, its just starting, even I am tired already. I'll make it short. Got my visa after a long and painful wait...Quit our jobs, my wife and me (first mistake, will explain later) scooped up all our savings, got our children out of school with appropriate planning so that they don't miss out a year. Did our lil research, said our prayers and got on the plane. Landed in Vancouver, some website told us that this was the worlds best place to live and raise a family (mistake number two). Checked into the hotel and began house hunting, looked at all the nice neighbourhoods and selected a house based on our budget (third mistake) so far so good, we thought. Put our kids to school and began the mammoth task of job hunting ( 25-30 days and 2000 dollars down). Me wife and me are well qualified and based on our experiences we made absolutely wonderful resumes and started applying ( fourth mistake). Amazing responses, calls every day but that was that, stopped at calls after realising we don't have any Canadian qualification or experience. We were not too worried initially but as time passed it started to get a little uncomfortable( down by 3 months and 4000 dollars). We then started trying to get help and advise from the locals, mixed responses, very conflicting as everyone were from different circumstances. We then had to downgrade our resumes (as one of the refusal feedback was that we were over qualified) and start applying, still luck eluded us. Every dollar spent was like fire in the belly growing hotter. Five-six months later we were desperate and ready to take any job that was available to us. A month later, my wife got a job and few weeks later it was my turn to get lucky to get a job. These were not nearly ideal jobs that we were hoping for but some income was better than nothing. It killed me to see my wife doing data entry who was working for ICICI bank back in India and managing a whole branch and had won many awards for being the best run branch , just typing away 8 hours a day. I never really had the courage to ask how she felt seeing me flip burgers when I had 120 employees working for me at Hewlett Packard back in India. Though both of us were earning still we were not able to make enough money to stop digging away from our savings. The house rent, bills, travel to & fro to work, food and the most expensive of the lot, child minders for our kids, to pick them up from school and take care until my wife gets back home. I was working over time, nearly 12 hours a day but could not sustain ourselves, we then switched our plan and I took up night shift and weekends while my wife worked in the day, I would wake up cook and get the kids back home and put them in front of the telly and pass out on the couch. I was ready to leave for work and would be waiting at the door to rush out to get the train, sometimes I must admit, with wet eyes while walking to the train station.At all time, I tried real hard to put a brave face for my wife and my two little angels, one kiss at the door everyday was all the interaction I had with my wife. That and kisses from my two little angels is what kept me going. Even though we had figured out a way to save the child minders costs we were just making enough to live a very limited life. My children deserved more time from us, at least from one of us. I dint want them to grow up without that. I forced my wife to work only part time, moved to a smaller house, took up work for 12 hours every night, 6 days a week. I could not miss a single days work, no work no money. Life seemed a little better for a while, at least for my wife and kids. When all seemed in control ( at least better than a few months ago ) another blow (forgive me for saying that but that's what it seemed like at that time), I was hardly with my wife a few times since we started working and she was pregnant for the second time ( we had twins the first time) in spite of all the caution we had taken. The irony was, we had to try for almost a year the first time around to get pregnant. If that was not all, it was twins AGAIN. The odds of that happening, twins twice, was 10 million to one or so I was told. This was about the time when I could sense my wife giving up. I could not imagine how we could afford the expenses of additional two babies in our present circumstances. To cut it short, we had to go through more hardships, we had to move again and again until we were in what one would call a single room apartment. Was this what we left everything and came here? Was this the life in Canada? How could we have been so wrong in our assessment? Are we losers and should go back home crawling like one? BUT WAIT NO, I thought, If I we had the luck of having two twins which is very very rare then we surely should be blessed. And I will not let all the sacrifices my family and I have made go for a waste, I did not want my kids to see their father give up when I have always told them never to give up. I was even more determined to move on. Things turned around, of all the mistakes that I made I had done one thing right, I had really put in my best at work, nobody could do stuff in the kitchen like I could. For most people out there this was just a job, for me it was food in my kids bellies and the last straw of hope in keeping my dreams alive. I got so many appreciations and management started noticing me, My work was perfect no matter there was someone watching over me or not. As a matter of fact I used to perform even better when I was not supervised. the management quickly saw this and moved the night shift supervisor to another branch to save costs. There was no impact on the business even though I was all alone in the kitchen all night. It was barely any time I was made a supervisor and I had enough money now and did not have to work 12 hours and 6 days. But I did, as my wife had stopped working coz of her pregnancy, we took this opportunity to get her to study and get some certifications in her line of work which were recognised in Canada. She came out with flying colours as she was twice as smart than any certification she sat for. She scored 100% in every damn thing. We had two healthy little angels again, within four months she started applying with the Canadian certifications and she got a decent job, within a very short time her employers realised her potential and moved her to a different role with more responsibilities and more salary as well. She did not eat for two days until I agreed to quit my job and stay home with my kids and take up some kind of studying myself. The first few days after I quit I slept for 15 hours every day, it seemed like heaven as I had not had so much sleep in many months. I then started studying at home and taking care of the babies while my wife worked. She was getting paid more than what we had earned collectively so it was fine. I finished a few certifications and also got decent job. We both feel that we can grow in the companies that we are currently in because of our experience and knowledge and also the effort we have put in to get so far. We have now moved a good two bed apartment and got ourselves a second-had Ford Mondeo, and now we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and any hope of realising our dreams. Now let me talk about the mistakes I think I made and what I would have done differently if I had to do this all over again. 1st Mistake -, Quitting both our jobs. My wife was working for an Indian Company( ICICI) but I was working for a global company (HEWLETT PACKARD). I should have tried to get a internal transfer, Global companies do hire from within. I agree that it would not have been easy but I am sure not as difficult as what I went through. I might have had to go down several levels and wait for maybe a year or two which is still a worthwhile thing to do. If that was absolutely not possible I would then quit my job leave my wife and kids behind and go to Canada myself. 2, Mistake - Trying to settle down with out first getting a job. If I am alone I can get a temporary accommodation and be more flexible to move where ever there is opportunity, even move to different cities, with family it is not possible. this will also keep my costs very very low. 3,Mistake - Unless you related to tourism and hospitality industry don't go to Vancouver. Calgary is good for people in oil industry but as a general rule of thumb there are much more jobs in Toronto that any other place. There are many immigrants there , right, but this is not entirely bad as the employers in Toronto are more used to theImmigrants and are less biased compared to other places. 4, Mistake - I expected to get a great job, like the one I had back in India right away. This does not happen with 99% of the people. You cant just pick up from where you left unless you have some kind of Canadian qualification or internally transferred from within your company. As soon as you land get yourself some/any job that you can land yourself in and ensure that your monthly expenditure is less that what you earn. Yes you might have to compromise a great deal on where you live and stuff. Make sure you spend as little money as possible from your savings. Immediately get into some kind of course/certification in your line that is recognised in Canada, use your savings for that. Don't waste even one day. Make sure once you have secured some certifications and you are looking for a job that is in your line of work. You would already have a job, however bad but a job nevertheless. All your focus should be to get a job in your line of work and not towards getting a little more money, this is because if you get to do something in your line of work you will naturally do well. Once you have set your foot in and fairly confident its time to get your wife..... NOT KIDS, just wife. I know it can be very difficult to leave kids behind but you will have to make some sacrifices to ensure that you do it the right way. Now that your wife is there, just get her to do some part time work focus entirely on getting Canadian qualification in her line of work. Always remember there will be totally unexpected things that will come up ( my wife's pregnancy for example ) and make sure you have put away some money for emergencies, however little, something is better than nothing. Only get a permanent family home when you and your wife are working, in your respective line of work and the get your kids. Things would have been a lot easier if I had done it this way rather than the way I adopted. THE SATISFACTION YOU GET AND THE WAY YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE IS BOOSTED WILL BE WORTH ALL THE EFFORT. ONCE YOU HAVE SETTLED IN YOU WILL HAVE VERY FEW AND JUST MUNDANE THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT, LIFE IN CANADA WILL SEEM VERY ENJOYABLE THEN. I wish this was helpful and God bless you all.

回复: 一个移民故事试着辅助翻译一下，供英文待提高的筒子参考：听到的是我的故事...花时间来读它，如果没有你可能至少节省一些金钱和一个不眠之夜夫妇。但在此之前，我只想提到，我遇到了很多移民，一些谁做得好一些不那么好，别人差。在所有的移民共同一致的某些条件，这些是必须按照我和我的经验，如果你要成功，如果你没有这些条件，那么你会提出自己将深陷困境。在冠冕堂皇的动机煽动这里不堪沉闷和可怕的努力风险的资格你需要：1，测定...如果你没有绝对决定了它是浪费时间。B号，坚忍...心，继续在所有的赔率，尽管从来没有松动的力量更上一个台阶，永不永不放弃，它您的生活和你不能放弃它。荤，勤奋工作....尝试是在不管你做什么，不要努力，因为你必须还是因为你是被监视的只是努力怎么把你想要最好的。即使你是擦鞋，如果你是这样做，你总有一天会取得辉煌的最佳。不是天生的做一个平庸的态度。研发，善良的心....一个良好的心，帮助有需要的人，可能不只是经济上（如果这是不可能的），但这种文字，一个充满激情的拥抱，一个令人鼓舞的线，而有需要的同胞。真正的良好愿望和感激的人祈祷，甚至可以移动在天主的心中。所以，我的故事，然后，我的上帝，它才刚刚开始，甚至我累了。我要简短。经过了漫长而痛苦的等待我的签证...退出我们的工作，我的妻子和我（第一个错误，稍后会解释）收购了所有的积蓄，得到我们的孩子不能上学，适当的规划，使他们不会错过了一年。难道我们的律研究，他说我们的祈祷，并在飞机上了。降落在Vancouve，一些网站告诉我们，这是世界上最适合居住和提高家庭（错误次数2）。住进酒店，开始找房子，看了所有的居民区和选择好我们的预算（第三个错误），到目前为止，一切顺利的一所房子，我们认为。把我们的孩子上学，并开始了找工作的艰巨任务（25-30天，2000元下）。我的妻子和我有资格和我们的经验，我们取得绝对精彩的简历，开始申请（第四次失误）为基础。令人惊讶的反应，每天通话，但就是这样，在呼吁停止后，意识到我们没有加拿大的资格和经验。我们并不担心，但最初随着时间的推移它开始变得有点不舒服（下降了3个月和4000美元）。然后，我们开始尝试获得帮助和建议是当地人，混合反应，很高兴，因为大家从不同的冲突情况的。然后我们不得不降级的简历（作为拒绝反馈之一吨帽子，我们已超过资格），并开始套用，我们未能还是运气。每花1元就像在肚子火越来越热。五六个月后，我们绝望，并准备采取任何工作，这是提供给我们。一个月后，我妻子的工作，得到了几个星期之后又轮到我幸运地得到一份工作。这些都不是理想的工作，几乎是我们的一些收入，但希望总比没有好。它杀害我看到我的妻子做数据输入工作谁是回ICICI银行在印度和管理整个分支，并赢得了最佳运行作为分支不少奖项，只是打字以外每天8小时。我从来没有真正有勇气问她的感受，当我看见我了120名员工为我工作在惠普公司早在印度翻转汉堡包。虽然我们两个的收入是我们仍然无法作出足够的钱来阻止挖，从我们的积蓄。房屋租赁，票据，来回旅费和工作，为我们的孩子的食物和最昂贵的地段，幼儿托管，接载他们去学校，直到我的妻子得到回家照顾。我正在随着时间的推移，近12小时，但无法维持自己，那么，我们请我们的计划，我拿起夜班和周末，而我的妻子曾在一天，我的起床做饭，让孩子回家，并放置在他们面前的泰利沙瓦拉，并通过在沙发上了。我准备离开的工作，将在门口等待冲出让车，有时候我必须承认，用湿眼睛，边走边向寨 station.At所有时间，我试图努力把真正为我的妻子勇敢面对，并在门口每天我的两个小天使，一个吻是所有的互动我与我的妻子。这和我的两个小天使亲吻是我不断前进。即使我们已经找到了一种保存幼儿托管费用，我们只是做出足够的生活是非常有限的生命。从我的孩子应该得到我们更多的时间，至少从我们每一个人。吾力希望他们能不用说了。我强迫我的妻子只有部分工作时间，转移到更小的房子，讨论了工作12小时，每天晚上，每周6天。我不能错过的单天的工作，没有工作没有钱。生活似乎是一个好一点的，而至少在我的妻子和孩子。当所有人似乎都在控制（至少比几个月前）的打击（原谅我，而是说，这就是它像当时看来），我几乎与我的妻子几次从我们开始工作，她被第二次怀孕（我们第一次双胞胎）在所有我们尽管采取了谨慎。具有讽刺意味的是，我们必须设法近一年第一次怀孕。如果这不是全部，这是双胞胎了。这种情况发生的机率，双胞胎的两倍，为10万1左右的对我说。这是关于时候，我能感觉到我的妻子放弃。我无法想象我们有能力在目前情况下，两个孩子的额外费用。为了缩短这个周期，我们必须经过更多的困难，我们不得不一次又一次地移动，直到我们在什么一人称之为一个房间的公寓。这是我们留下的一切来到这里？这是在加拿大的生活？我们怎么能如此错在我们的评估？我们输家，并应回家象一个爬行？但再等待，我想，如果我对我们有两个双胞胎这是非常非常罕见，我们一定要祝福好运。我不会让所有的牺牲，我的家人和我已经去浪费，我不希望我的孩子看到自己的父亲放弃的时候，我一直告诉他们从来没有放弃。我更加坚定地前进。事情转身，在所有的错误，我在我做了一件正确的，我确实我在工作中最好地说，没有人能够做得像我在厨房里的东西可能。对于大多数人在那里这只是一份工作对我来说，这是我的梦想，在保持粮食活着，我的孩子肚子和希望的最后一根稻草。我得到这么多的赞赏和管理开始注意我，我的工作是完美的，不管有别人对我还是不看。其实我以前更好的成绩，我还没有监督的问题。管理很快就看到这一点，提出夜班主管到另一个分支以节省成本。没有对业务的影响，尽管我是在厨房独自整夜。这是我几乎没有了主管和我有足够的钱现在没有工作12小时，6天时间。但我没有，因为我的妻子已经停止工作了她怀孕的堂妹，我们借此机会把她研究并获得在她的工作是在加拿大的一些认证认可行。她推出了骄人成绩，她是美国的两倍多，她坐在任何认证智能。她该死的比赛中每一件事100％。我们有两个健康的小天使4个月内再次，她开始与加拿大的认证申请，她获得一份体面的工作在很短的时间内，她的雇主意识到，她的潜力，她提出与更多的责任和更多的工资，以及不同的作用。她没有吃了两天，直到我同意退出我的工作，我的孩子留在家里，并采取了一些自己的学习类型。第一次在我离开我15小时，每天睡几天，似乎像天堂，因为我并没有在很多个月这么多睡眠。然后我开始在家里学习，照顾婴儿，而我的妻子工作。她越来越多交电费，我们所获得集体，所以很好。我完成了几个认证，并获得体面的工作。我们都觉得我们可以在公司的成长，我们正由于我们的经验和知识，也是我们在获得迄今心力。我们现正进入一个很好的两床公寓，得到自己的第二福特蒙迪欧了，现在我们可以看到隧道尽头的光明和任何意识到我们的梦想的希望。现在让我谈谈失误我想我的，我会做不同的，如果我不得不做一遍的。第一错误- ，我们的工作都退出。我的妻子正在为印度公司（印度工业信贷投资），但我是一个全球性公司（惠普公司）工作。我应该试图让一内部转移，全球公司都聘请来自内部。我同意就不会很容易，但我相信并不困难，因为我经历。我可能不得不下去几个层次，等待也许一年或两年，它仍然是值得做。如果这是绝对不可能的，那么我将辞去我的工作给我的妻子和孩子们后面，去加拿大的自己。2，误区-尝试与定居了第一找工作。如果我只有我可以得到一个临时住所，并更加灵活移动在不断出现的机会，甚至转移到不同的城市家庭，这是不可能的。这也使我的成本很低。3，错-除非你与旅游及酒店业，不去温哥华。卡尔加里是有利的，在石油业人士，而是作为一般经验法则在多伦多有更多的就业机会，任何其他地方。有许多移民那里的权利，但这不是在多伦多的雇主比较习惯完全是坏移民和较少偏见比其他地方。4，错-我期望自己能非常出色，像我已经回到印度马上。这不会发生有99％的人。你不能只是看你从那里离开，除非你有什么资格在加拿大或国内公司内部转移了。只要你自己的土地得到一些/任何工作，你可以在自己的土地，并确保每月支出少于你赚。是的，您可能需要妥协，你在哪里生活和东西很多。请确保您花尽可能从您节省一点钱。立即进入一些当然这种/在你行开具的证明，是在加拿大认可，用你的积蓄。不要浪费任何一天。一旦你已经确定，并有相当的把握它的时间让你的妻子.....你的脚孩子不是，只是妻子。我知道这可能很难离开孩子落后，但你必须做出一些牺牲，以确保你做正确的方式。现在，你的妻子是有的，只是让她做让她的老本行加拿大资格部分时间工作的重点完全。一定要记住将有完全意料不到的事情又来了（我妻子的，例如怀孕），并确保您已放好紧急一些钱，但很少，聊胜于无。只有获得永久的家时，你和你妻子的工作，在各自的工作路线，让您的孩子。事情本来容易得多，如果我做了这样说，而不是我采取的方式。满意您获得并首先体现在你的信心，提高了自我的价值将所有的努力。如果您已经安置在您将很少，只是普通的事情担心，加拿大的生活会显得非常愉快，然后。我希望这有所帮助，并愿上帝保佑你们大家。
