I am a first generation immigrant and was inspired by my parents who are also immigrants to create Immigstation. My family moved to Canada when I was two years old. As I was growing up, I saw my parents struggling with a lot of things. I now realize that it was just a lack of understanding of Canadian culture and government systems. For example, a few weeks before moving to Canada, my parents tried searching for a rental apartment online. But the websites they searched weren’t catering to people with children. They got rejected a lot and when they finally found an apartment in Kitchener, it was way more expensive than market price. Then, of course, there were other issues. They didn't realize they could apply for child benefits, nor did they know what a school district meant. They had absolutely no idea how important having a family doctor was. So, yes, their first few years in Canada were not easy. Services to help immigrants are scattered and hard to navigate, especially for those new to the language, culture and environment. Our research proves that most immigrants struggle with settling in. And this is not just their problem, it’s ours as well.
