Canada: The Transition

Yianjoo Low Dept: Yianjoo Low knows how it feels. Not that long ago, she and her husband left their comfortable life in Malaysia to start an uncertain one in Canada. There were difficult times and days she questioned the life-changing decision to emigrate, according to The Star. Job Skills made the transition easier, Low said, adding kind and understanding people reached out to her because many had walked in her shoes before and pulling up stakes and moving to the other side of the world can be overwhelming, and asking for help to make the transition easier intimidating. The couple arrived three years ago in Western Canada and in time, moved to the Greater Toronto Area to put down roots. Were it not for the support she received from new friends at her church and Job Skills, a York Region agency, there s no saying where the couple would be today. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
