Do you ever wonder what it is like to start a new life in a brand-new country? How can the transition be less bumpy? The Canadian government has pledged to make up for the number of immigrants not able to move to Canada during the pandemic by increasing the number of newcomers allowed to come each year for the next three years. Over 400,000 immigrants will be welcomed to the country every year, and CBC Ottawa is asking for advice from those who have made the trip already.
One newcomer moved to Canada right before the pandemic shut everything down. Diego Alcubierre and his family sold their possessions and packed for the move to Canada, but received news their visa had been rejected.
