本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I am over 36 years old ,more than 10 years' software programming experience and now work as IT programmer at a provincial branch bank of a state commercial bank in China. Recently my bank gives me a house about 120 square meter size at the cost about 100000 yuan if I promise to continue to work for the bank for 15 years.

I began my immigration application three years ago and pass the interview in HK at the end of 1998. Unfortunately I met with the background check as I was a PLA man. After more than 2 years background check, the immigration section will give me and my wife and son the landing paper soon. When I tell some friends who have come to Canada one or two years before, they tell me I'd better not go there, because there are no hopes and no future in Canada and finding good job only by fortune not by your level, they feel very lonely there. Canada is not their land. It is very hard for them to get along with the Canadian society. No recreation , no time and no heart to enjoy Canadian beautiful scenery. They all seem heavy-hearted . When I asked them how about their tomorrow in Canada, their answers are "I do not know!" . Some of them are going to go back China.

Is it true? Is it so terrible to live and in Canada ? Is it really not hope and no better future in Canada for new immigrants. Whether are most of new immigrants regret of going to Canada?

I will appreciate if some friends who have come to Canada tell me the true, and give me some advices and tell me it is right or wrong if I give up my current job and give up my somewhat better life in China and go to Canada to carve out my new way from vrey beginning .

Merry Christmas and Happy new year and Good luck to everyone.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
