A FLIGHT TO CANADA

A year ago, after getting married, Andrea Canales and her husband, Gonzalo decided to move abroad for a better lifestyle. They wanted to explore the world, and Canada was one of their dream locations. According to them, the place was not the only factor for them, and the immigration rules are much more comfortable than any other suitable country. Andrea wanted to study communications, so she decided to take a programme by which her husband could get the opportunity to be on a work permit. Andrea says they were very excited to come here; she is a travel addict. According to Andrea, it was indeed her dream, but leaving the white-collar job behind and starting from the beginning was terrifying. But, She wanted it to be a happy new beginning. Alas, they applied for the VISA and got a response in 3 weeks. Andrea was very grateful at that time. But, she knew money was going to be a big problem for them. She started saving money, and her parents helped her a lot financially for her tuition. Her Family and friends were sad that now they will not see the newlyweds soon, but they were happy and supportive at the same time as everyone knew that this is what Andrea wanted to do for a long time.

They saved some money and booked the flight.

Her family surprised them with a good by Party and gifted them some money to go to Canada. Andrea and Gonzalo were thrilled until the day came close, and they started panicking. Andrea says that their life was going to change entirely in the next 24 hours was horrifying to them. But, alas, they made it to the airport and were on their way to Canada.

Andrea says the moment the hostess announced that we are landing in Toronto that filled Gonzalo and her with happiness. It felt like one of their dream came true. After six months of planning, excitement and stress, they were finally in Canada; they were in happy tears.

The fact that they landed on the Christmas day was like icing on the cake. Everything was covered with snow and was looking so beautiful, she said. It was not only her first day in Canada but her first snow. For them, it all seemed like a plan.

It was the beginning of a joyful life for us; Andrea.
