枫下沙龙 / 谈天说地 / OH CANADA -rounder(rounder); 2001-7-1 {1093} (#116795@0)
本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Today I filled out my citizenship application form. I have lived here for 3 years and a month. That’s one tenth of my life, or one quarter of my adult life. Looking back that decision to come to Canada is the best decision I made in my life so far. Not only have I more choices in my career development now ( either in Canada or China), I found myself a little more well-rounded, a little more tolerant, a little more perceptive of other people’s needs and feelings. I know without living is a culture marked by diversity and giving, this could not have happened to me so profoundly with in such a short time. I am looking forward to becoming a Canadian.

Threes years ago when I sang along ‘Oh Canada’ in a classroom, my attitude was, “I come here for a passport and a diploma, Oh Canada? I don’t care.” But now, especially in the past year, I felt I can truly relate to the emotions evoked by the national anthem. Happy birthday Canada. And good luck, my friends, I wish you all find the life you want. It’s not always going to be a smooth ride, but we’ll get there.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

Congratulations and thank you. But I think the sentence of "3 years" is only up to now, still it should be one thirtieth of your whole life and one twentieth of your adult life. -pyramid(金字塔); 2001-7-1 (#116865@0)
祝贺你! 多年前当我成为加拿大公民时和你有同样的感觉. -skybook(Skybook); 2001-7-2 {292} (#116884@0)
后来我在美国时有些公司的CEO, SENIOR VP等在最后一次面试时希望我加入他们公司, 并询问我是否愿意最终成为美国公民. 我总是告诉他们 "I am very proud to be a Canadian." 虽然美国是一个很好的国家, 但我更热爱加拿大.

Let's work together to make Canada - the best country in the world even better!
Oh, canada: Can we have food and place for living? -whitetiger(whitetiger); 2001-7-2 (#116901@0)

Depends on your own ability! But one thing I can gaurantee you is that those who keep complaining are not able to survive here. -guest:; 2001-7-2 (#116919@0)

I am keeping trying, but I know there is no fair chance for newcomers this year, because they hire the local or fired people firstly. -whitetiger(whitetiger); 2001-7-2 (#117277@0)

May I ask you a question? Suppose there is a game between China and Canada, which team would you cheer for? I don’t mean to relate it with patriotism:-) I think everyone has his/her own choice and feelings. -birdincage(birdincage); 2001-7-2 {240} (#117065@0)
At least now I cannot imagine I would cheer for Canadians :-) I have a good friend who has been in Canada more than 10 years and lives very well there. He told me every time he cheers for Chinese and he cares more news of China than Canada.

I will cheer for the team that has less supporters at the place of the game. -rounder(rounder); 2001-7-2 (#117124@0)
当然是谁表现得好为谁喝彩了，这种假定以后还是少做的好，免得把自己绕糊涂了。 -hearts(hearts); 2001-7-2 (#117335@0)
If my son in in the Canadian team,of course I will support Canadians. -rockywei(rocky); 2001-7-3 (#117896@0)

我佩服你的心态。 -bluemoon(bluemoon); 2001-7-2 (#117394@0)
希望有一天，每个中国人都为自己是个中国公民而感到自豪。加拿大是个很好的国家，但不是中国人的国家。 -99999(老猫); 2001-7-2 (#117444@0)

你错了。加拿大是哪些人的国家？答案应该是加拿大人（canadian)的。加拿大人是哪些人？答案是那些包括华人在内的在加拿大生活、为加拿大社会做贡献的人。 -rockywei(rocky); 2001-7-3 (#117893@0)

说得对，我十分同意。 -ttl(羊肉泡馍); 2001-7-3 (#117909@0)
whether you are in ca now? Even if it's a good multiculture country, in fact, the white control this country. Chinese are only engineers or labour in this country. -whitetiger(whitetiger); 2001-7-3 (#117980@0)
