Any Comments on Canada’s Culture
Canada’s culture is rich. I feel the Multiculturalism makes it all the more beautiful. You learn to be kind & compassionate living here. Yes, Western society has great openness which we do not experience in India. It is we, who are to decide our preferences. I also feel World has become Global village thereby providing all goods and evils.
Any Comments on Canada’s Weather
Canada’s weather is the most enjoyable and we all experience four seasons. Sometimes freezing temperatures & snow in winter makes it hard to drive but one gets used to it. That’s what makes Canada unique, eh!!!
What Brought You Success in Canada?
Hard Work, Perseverance, self-belief & family support always yield success down the line. This is what helped me. Be consistent and focussed.
Are You Willing to Help New Immigrants and How?
Even though there are several settlement agencies working towards helping newcomers, I earnestly wish that various organizations conduct seminars & conferences that can help new immigrants to know about the Canadian life style & social set-up so that they can imbibe values as per new place & country.
Your Message for Canadians of Asian Origin
With our choice we have chosen this country as our new home, so let’s try to make it all the more beautiful with our work & contributions. We should absorb ourselves in the Canadian mosaic and at the same time keep our cultural ethos intact. As an immigrant there will be testing times but with your commitment you can overcome the challenges and define your personality. Be compassionate towards fellow beings and demonstrate high values and ethics.
