What programmers feel after migrating to Canada

When I mention immigration in China, 10 people with eight heads will show up in Canada, and I will also, so ~ I submitted an immigration application when I was in the fourth class. I received a visa only in middle August. I arrived in Canada in early September and startedProgramApe life!

[Note: This article begins with the simple post-migration experience and the basic needs of people. As for work, it will be described in text and images after observation, the purpose is to let everyone know a real comparison between domestic and foreign countries (especially in Vancouver, Canada), and to cherish the existing life, I have a positive attitude towards my work. What I really have is not limited to a certain place or company. I encourage myself to overcome the existing difficulties!]

Before migration, I knew that the problems faced by migration were more complicated than I thought. Although I had met many migrant predecessors, I was always lucky: although there are thousands of difficulties, the overall living standard in Canada is always better than that in China. But when Canada sees everything true, I want to tell you everything I feel seriously, although living in Canada is better than China in some aspects, on average, the living standards of Canadian citizens are certainly not as good as those of those who are preparing to migrate in economically developed coastal cities in China (here, what I want to say is not to mention the second generation of officials or the second generation of rich people (for all reasons), but to those who rely on their own efforts to meet the immigration conditions ), the wealth obtained by these individuals depends on their own efforts and is able to withstand the test ~

Maybe you are the same as me. After starting a business, I feel that the big environment is not great and I want to move people away?

1,For prospective migrants who haven't come yetIf you are in economically developed cities in China, and if you migrate, your living condition will not be restored to the current level in China for a long time in the future, it includes contacts, friends, culture, living habits, and other factors. If you are in an economically underdeveloped area in China, it is strongly recommended that you choose a developed and orderly city, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, life and the future are certainly better than in Canada; some may disagree with them, saying that domestic prices, education, especially the bad environment, are not ideal, canada has a "from cradle to grave" welfare policy. How do you compare it? Yes, this welfare policy is a cornerstone of the welfare system and is used to safeguard the basic living standard (that is, food, clothing, and shelter) of every Canadian citizen. As a result, Canada has many lazy people, living by the money is a bit like a big pot in China (no experience, I know from history). You don't have to pay or guarantee it. Naturally, many taxpayers have a lot of opinions about it, distribution by labor, this is the most fair and effective. labor time is not equal to labor value. This is clear, and a lot of complaints will be lost, no matter in which country, the value you create will not be changed in your environment!

2. Friends who have already migrated to the ship, of course, are already looking at the wrong situation, and immediately seek home (This part has a more moist life in China, why are you suffering from this foreign sin ?); But quite a few people like me can't pull that face (migration is still a very noble thing in the eyes of most Chinese people, so it's so embarrassing to go back and lose points ~), It will also stay here for a while. After a long time, it may end your life here to give birth to the social ethos of "Good and Evil" and social welfare. However, my current idea is to return to China immediately after I get the so-called "pass the world" identity, and my career will still be in China ~

From my personal experience in Canada:

1. I always think that China's food civilization is unique throughout the world, at least 50 years ahead of other civilizations. Most programmers, like me, are all about food, especially the major Chinese cuisines, region ~ If you don't talk about it, you will be hungry again ~ If you eat it, you can handle it yourself. Besides, eating is a low-level requirement, which is boring.

3. Housing, house, for most young people in China (take my classmates as an example, which of the following students said they had bought a house in Chengdu, and everyone was envious of it.) they are all very big mountains. The so-called "houses in North America, driving German cars, take the Japanese wife, eat Chinese food ", from the area and green, from the house price, is indeed far better than the domestic commercial housing, but have you had a deep understanding? Many times we are blinded by some media information. Due to the expensive labor force in North America, most houses are made of wooden boards. The common reinforced concrete structures and even brick-and-mortar structures in China are used only in luxury houses, nothing else, that is, the isolation and sound insulation effect of the wooden house is too poor (how bad is there? There is a section to explain, it is said that one day, the school teacher told his parents that your children liked strong words, hard to say that there were frequent earthquakes in our region, and the parents were speechless. After going home, they immediately changed their room to the upstairs and their room to the downstairs, since then, the children never talk about the earthquake again.) I wonder how the private people in the west will endure it? Interior Decoration is simple. Most of the walls are color-clear latex paint. The ground is a fiber carpet, and doors and windows are also simple styles, as for our ordinary working class in China, we will use a little manual in interior decoration, such as creating a shape and other "finely carved works", and here we will become a patent for large families. Like a group of solid wood Wine cabinets in china decorated with car edge glass, it can only be regarded as ordinary furniture up to 2000 or 3000 yuan, here it is about 5000 or 6000 Canadian dollars is definitely high-grade furniture. Electrical accessories such as switch sockets can be installed with screw holes on the surface. We currently use modular switch sockets such as Panasonic electricians. I have never seen them here. There are too many lamps, so I can't say what style is there. Many friends who have been in North America for a long time may sneer at my descriptions. They will say that the culture here is concise and practical. I believe it at the beginning, because more than 90% of the people are actually like this, later, I had the honor to visit the so-called mansion, So that I knew that not the people here liked conciseness, but that complicated decoration would definitely require a lot of money to be realized. Ordinary people naturally had to say that conciseness and practicality were the best, the "conciseness" means no paint on the fence or footfall.

Because the road infrastructure is good and the population density is low, most of the people are in the suburbs, and there are various fast means of transportation to and from work. In fact, whether it is north or wide, many of them are unreasonable planning, leading to malformed house prices, select a degree for your child, an old hospital, a location for yourself, and luxurious decoration. If you compare with others, you will be in a high and low-performing State. suburban housing prices cannot be seen, and the city cannot afford it!

Of course, property prices remain high in Canada due to speculation by many Chinese immigrants. This may be a factor limiting immigration ~

4. OK. This is the only thing that I think North America can comprehensively surpass China. Both public transportation and private cars are superior to domestic ones. Compared with domestic prices, vehicle prices and fuel prices are a small part of revenue expenditure. Many people who receive the unemployment benefits can drive broken cars.

5. Use; "first-class products to Europe and America, three-stream products to China", large supermarkets are also rich in daily necessities, most of which are made in China, the price is the same as domestic figures, but the currency is different. There must be some in China, but some in China may not.
6. environment. The environment I want to talk about includes the municipal environment and the natural environment. The Municipal Environment in Vancouver is not much different from that in some domestic tourist cities, such as Guilin, Zhaoqing, and the level of management. This is why I wonder how it will evaluate the most livable city. However, there are some North American things on the streets, such as painting graffiti like a ghost on the street walls. Skytrain, which I once dreamed of, is far better than the subway lines in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou (Guangzhou Metro is awesome, with good services and equipment ). After years of financial tightening, many municipal facilities seem to have been defeated. The metrtown Skytrain station is a bustling place. The walls of the overpass are just simple cement walls painted with layer paint. Many places have been painted, revealing the unsightly cement nature. The whole of Vancouver gave me the feeling of a fallen nobility, and seldom found a thriving and vigorous atmosphere.
