Decision to Leave Canada
 
Hello everyone!

I hope you're all well!
As you may know, moving to Canada has not gone very well for me for many reasons, not least problems finding suitable employment. Anyway, I have now booked my flight home and will be back in Manchester in just over 6 weeks. Fortunately I have a job waiting for me and we should be able to start to quickly rebuild our lives again in England.
Deep down, I know why my relocation to North America has failed, it was basically because I didn't really want to be here, my heart wasn't in it. I tend to think those that succeed will ultimately overcome any problems with jobs and Canadian experience and make it work, simply because unlike me, they want to be here.
My commitment to Canada has generally been weak at the best of times. I became deeply homesick rapidly and never endeared myself to Canadian 'culture' or even Canadians themselves. I found it very hard to get along with people here and the few lasting friendships I have made have mainly been with other immigrants, many of whom have been in a similar situation to myself.
I hope that others will find some solace in this message and realise that you CAN make it in Canada. You just really have to want to make it work and most of all, you really have to want to be here. :)

That's the sort of brainless comment I've come to expect from you.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

Not at all. With all your derogatory remarks about canada - Im amazed you're still here - but then again you always have enjoyed drama and being the center of attention!

You just couldn't resist making some nasty spiteful remark could you?
Shameful.

You'll be very happy to know that the childish and vindictive side of me is alive and well!

Evidently you're a troll. In fact I'd be surprised if you're in Canada at all.
