In today's world that we live in, do you realize how many immigrants migrate to Canada or the United States? Do you realize the struggles they have to face just to become a citizen to one of those countries? My Question that I am trying to ask is why should people be forced or even choose to move from their hometown (place of birth) when they are already born citizens in the country that they live in.
From my experience, my family were known as immigrants that migrated to Canada and the stories that my mother would tell me made me realize how hard life can be when you move to a new country and you don't know that to expect. As for my family they choose to move to Canada because of better opportunities that Canada provided and they just wanted a better life for their children. But that was not an easy process. It took my family 10 years to become Canadian Citizens but the life before that was a struggle. Their was a lot of depression of missing their hometown, a lot of regret for leaving because of the hardship they faced, a lot of jealousy, no support from most of they extended family members, a lot of rejection, no place to live, no money and basically nothing to call your own.
I know leaving one country and going to another can be a hard process, but sometimes some people don't have a choice; they have to because of violence, crime, discrimination, war or even threat within their country. Sometimes safety is the only thing that would matter in these situations so they would have to leave everything that they own and all their memories behind. This can cause depression upon the person.
Some situation can result in leaving family members behind, which causes more hardship and pain. The moral to my thoughts is that when leaving your country that you called your home its very hard to be excepted into another country, which can take a toll on you and the process that you have to face.
