Un anno fa ho lasciato l’Italia ( Sicilia Bedda ).
Non sono partito per cercare lavoro; sono venuto a trovare giustizia e, quindi, liberta’. Conoscevo Toronto da turista e da lettore. Conosco l’Italia per averci vissuto e, soprattutto, lavorato per tanti anni. Certe cose si possono tollerare da soli, forse. Ma se si hanno figli non si puo’. E noi siamo venuti qua. E non mi dilunghero’ ulteriormente su cio’ che abbiamo lasciato, compreso il dolore di stare lontano da genitori, sorelle, parenti, amici ( The Guess Who "No Time" ).
Quando ci fa un cambiamento cosi’, ci si “accolla” di avere per sempre il cuore a pezzi. Si sogna, si costruisce, ci si realizza e si e’ felici; c’e’ di fondo un rumore latente che solo la bellezza di questo posto (intesa onnicomprensivamente) puo’ soffocare ( Appocundria ).
It 's been a year but, like all interdimensional travel, I'm here for centuries.
Gia 'from the first to arrive, I felt loved and pampered by Canada, happy and purposeful ( Hedley - Cha-Ching ). At the airport there
'written Welcome great great and I felt really welcome. Everyone smile, even the luggage and bag full of books, leaflets and publications which have made me free.
The first days were spent going around Toronto. In the first week I had already 'all documents except the health card (89mo arrived the day), I had even entered the list of residents abroad, immediately canceling my Italian home. Newcomer
I visited the many centers that, at government expense, provide assistance to newcomers: language courses and exams, information on bureaucratic duties, job search workshops. I was a teenager, without a license, no credit history, homeless, jobless, but I never felt abandoned. In fact, I immediately felt part of this nation. I watched the Olympics in Vancouver and I enjoyed the victories Canadians. I was very moved by listening to the song during the closing ceremony of the Vancouver 2010 ( National Anthem of Canada after winning During the gold medal game olympic ). Finally lived in Toronto, one of 10 cities 'most' liveable on the planet. Finding a job and
'was complicated for me, more' than I thought. Many times I have heard overqualified: the curriculum vitae (resume as they say here) must be adapted to the position for which you are applying. Do not just throw up all the paper qualifications acquired over the years. You must be summarized in two pages qualification, work-related skills, and add a cover letter. The language is different, as well as adjectives to use. However, the impact was eased by the Centers for immigrants: government provides you with many tools and information, even too many. The immigrants, the elderly and children are the groups considered most vulnerable in Canada. Some of those tools are useful: free English lessons and the recognition of qualifications, projects that help transition to apprenticeship or paid in Ufffici host companies (Career Bridge). Others too emphatic, as the job search workshops, which teach you how to get your hands and how to speak during talks lavoro.Altri completely unnecessary, as the preparation of the portfolio, chhee I've never been asked in interviews, but, on second thought , made me remember who I am and what I did when I was an adult and worker. In the meantime I tried
and found the house, welcomed with joy the container with our things Italian, bought the puppets to bed. Then I reached
Claudia and Children ( Tim Hortons Coffee Commercial - Welcome Home. ).
Lorenzo was added immediately, going to school after two weeks of his arrival, he learned to speak English. In the months unemployed I understand better where I was, I was so much time with children, as Claudia has started working almost immediately. It 'been nice to bike around with the puppets, go to parks and libraries (among many single moms dad). This
'the place where I was born and grow up with values I was taught at school and at home.
