Canada and Mejicano

Mejicano: Mejicano came to Canada in December 2011 to help nurse her husband, then boyfriend, a Canadian spoken-word poet and social worker. They decided to marry. And Mejicano abandoned only temporarily, she says her dreams of becoming a doctor, according to The Star. When you first came to Canada in December 2011, what did you think and My name is Victoria Mejicano, says the 22-year-old former medical student from Santo Domingo. My last name means Mexican. My husband is from Guatemala. We both live in Canada and the Dominican. And thats immigration and globalization. Then, she pauses and smiles for effect. She has spent her time in Canada learning English, volunteering and studying and is running a theatre project reflecting on how newcomers from the Dominican and Somali communities, as well as aboriginal youth, perceive immigration. She plans to register at university later this year to study anthropology and sociology. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
