For some people, moving to Canada is viewed as an opportunity to improve their way of life. Unfortunately, the transition to a new country is not always a smooth one, as there are barriers that can stand in the way of realizing this dream.

Immigration to Canada

Immigrants were largely ignored in Canada during the first half of the twentieth century until 1976 when the Immigration Act began to focus on providing settlement services. Since then, improvements have been made in providing classes in English as a second language, and in finding jobs for recent immigrants. However, many immigrants still face the same problems Danilo Salas did 14 years ago when he moved to Canada.

ESL

Originally from the Philippines, Danny, as he prefers to be called, was lucky enough to start learning English in elementary school during the 1960s. Before moving to Canada, Danny lived in Libya with his family for 15 years, working as a medical equipment installer. During this period, the English that Danny had learned in the Philippines suffered, as he also had to learn Arabic and Italian. Danny found it difficult to keep up on all three languages, plus the various Filipino dialects he knew.
