Hello po, I just saw your vlog while browsing KZfaq. Ang pathway ko naman po is live-in caregiver back in 2004 pa when I first landed in Canada. Just like your situation, ako naman po ay CPA sa Pilipinas earning good paying job. Pero pumasok na caregiver sa Canada and was treated as like a slave by my employer. Tiniis ko po iyun for 2 years in order to get my permanent residence status. During those period working as a live-in caregiver, naghanap po ako ng volunteer work in public accounting office. I courageously knocked on doors and inquired to see if I can go work for them for free. It was my step stone to go back to the accounting field. It is true that my CPA is not created at all here in Canada. So nagtiis ako at nag-aral ulit sa CPA School of Business. Yung company where I volunteered has offered me my first accounting job as soon as natapos ko na yung live-in caregiver program. Pero the battle is really finishing my education here in Canada. Pinagtyagaan ko talaga, inabot pa ako ng 10 yrs pero sa wakas nakapasa na rin ako ng exam nila dito so now I am a licensed CPA here in Canada. I just want to share this to you because you will experience a lot of struggles living in Canada na minsan you will feel you want to give up but please remember the quote from Winston Churchill "Success is not final, Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts". Continue to pursue your dream of going back to your law career no matter how hard or how long it will take because at the end of it all, it is ALL WORTH IT!

Do not worry Emma the more you get used to the weather the more you will like it here in Canada. I am rooting for you guys. we made it through you can too

Welcome to Canada hehehe. I know it’s really cold.. congratulations on your new job. Nice sharing sis. New friend here in Calgary too.

Good luck to your new life in Canada and well wishes

You followed your heart,chased your dreams.That's what matter most.

Congrats sa inyong mag asawa! I'm always watching your vlogs. Naalala ko ng bago kami sa Canada. Tama yung ibang comments regarding proper clothing kapag winter very important to protect the head , ears, nose at neck as well as the hands and legs . Basta well dressed lagi para maiwasan magkasakit mahirap ma frost bite. Stay safe always and God bless us all!

More power to ur family po. Watching from UAE ❤

nung bagong dating kami sa canada, tinuruan kami ng sister ko how canadians use certain words para mas ma understand ka nila at mas madali ang communication. sobrang na appreciate ko yon at gusto ko din i share sa mga bagong dating hoping na hindi sila ma offend.... kagaya nung rubber shoes, tinatawanan ng canadians sabi nila boink boink😁 tawag nila runners. yung "negative "temperature sa kanila "minus".. bag is purse , yung bag is shopping bags or supot, yung Newfoundland is "Newfinland".. madami pa nakalimutan ko lang 😉 Cheers✌

I have been here in UK for 23 yrs now ,now currently working as freelance ICU nurse working on my own time whenever or wherever I want to work. I'm on my second year as law student here in UK hope to finish it on time . Nice video

God Bless po ate emma at kuya alwin 🙏

Never talaga in my dreams to work and stay for good in othet country. Youre a lawyer pala sayang naman ang hirap maging lawyer. Sabagay its your dream to work there in Canada. Welcome to the new adventure...hehehehe

Mayroon pang tinatawag na wind chill. Malamig talaga, kahit sa buwan ng March. I was there in Toronto for a 2-week visit sometime in March 1989. More Power, God Bless.

Ganda nito real life situation talaga. Okay pala mglakad di katulad satin baka may mga masamang elements sa labas while nglakad pauwi sa gabi. Just saying lang po. Keep safe po Mam Emma and Sir Alwin.

I hope that moving to Canada pays off, and I'm sure that you had a short, medium, and long-term strategy PRIOR to moving to Canada. At this point, I would make a milestone schedule so that I would know when to "back out" and go back to PI.

Okay lang po yan pang simula, wag po mag stop maghanap ng gusto niyong work bago grumadwet. Pinagdaanan ko din yan. SAIT student din ako.. For sure, makakahanap ka din Atty. , ikaw pa, prayers will help po.

Super lamig na diyan sa inyo. Dito sa amin sa Quebec di pa nag snow. Ingat kayo at bundle up lagi mahirap ma frostbite. Try nyo din po bili ng grabber warmer sa costco or walmart pwede nyo syang ilagay sa ilalim loob ng gloves at meron din para sa paa. Mag start lang syang uminit once na nabuksan mo sya. Ingat kaya

Very humble si Atty Em..Hi Zion❤

Laban lng po, sa umpisa mahirap but in God guidance everything will fall into places. Im from Calgary also.

Welcome to Ca,Emma and Fam! Invest ka s winter clothes,try mo yung sa Aritzia (TNA) ,super puff long,very warm sya kaht -40 ang temp outside.Medyo pricey pero goodinvestment nmn.Goodluck and Congrats 🎉

You are going to be fine. We worked in FortMc. At first we got sick cuz we over layered our body. If you are walking, buy Balaclava hoodie or just neck warmer that can cover your nose and mouth pag super cold. There are gloves that you are able to use while using your phone.

Ingat po ma'am, naiyak ako ng bahagya kasi naglakad ka na lang huwag lang malamigan si baby, as a mom, i feel you 💖 God bless po

Congratulation kabayan, mas malaki ang paghanga ko sa iyong pagpakumbaba at na embrace mo ang ordinary life dito sa Canada sa kabila ng iy8ng tagumpay sa ating bansang Pilipinas.

Welcome to Calgary … hope to bump into your family one day… i just lived one block away from you.. Stay warm always…😊

Get a scarf to cover your face para mabawasan ang lamig sa face or if not available, a surgical (Covid) mask can help a bit. Make sure your family have already received your flu shots, it’s very important specially for the kid in day care. Kids in day care are very susceptible to all viruses and usually they are always sick with a cold or cough or worse a fever. East coast weather is brutal during winter time unlike in the west coast (Vancouver) which is a lot milder.

"Happiness comes from contentment"

Bagong kaibigan po watching here in the Philippenes

Life here in Canada ain’t a joke, more so that life is not as good as before. It’s a sacrifice, more so when you left a good job in the PH.

Good afternoon po kabayan sending my support po kabayan

Naranasan ko rin yan maglakad ng 20mnts fr the bus stop to my work nung bago pa lang ako at sobrang lamig lalo na senior na ako.watching fr Hamilton,Ontario.proud senior caregiver at the age of 67...

Hi, sis! I have a Ph.D and I'm an associate professor in a large private university here in Manila pero pagdating namin dyan next year....student at minimum wage earner din ako, hehe. Hope to meet you there in Calgary!

Hello po Atty. Emma ganyan lang yan sa simula, ako din po from Calgary I came here 2002 as a live in caregiver,the good thing is I'm an RN in the Philippines so I challenge the board exam here in Canada for nurses and I pass...so now I'm harvesting what I sow.Kaya no matter what challenges you encounter be resilient..get in touch with those law firm in Calgary.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello Alwin & Emma! I arrived in Ottawa, Ontario way back in Oct 2nd of 2010. Maybe I just easily adjusted to the VERY COLD weather, but I know a LOT of people had a hard time. I even experienced -40 walking outdoors for work. Good luck to your family. Ingats lagi & God bless :0/

Congratulations po

Your skill set demands that you apply for jobs in the legal field. There are menial, low paying jobs in that field. The trick is to get your foot in the door of law firms. Jobs such as receptionist, filing clerk, documents, break room attendants etc. You will in a few short months be noticed by the firm due to the way you carry yourself. You will obviously know way around the law firm , and they quietly evaluate you as you work in the firm. Dont waste your time working outside your field of expertise . It will just set you back even more.

Good luck sa inyong mag asawa. Naka yanan ng kapatid ko pati husband niya so kaya niyo din.Good luck and God Bless

More power to your family...

Ingat kayo jan

🌹🙏🏻Hi.. good evening po. I'm actually watching Ur Vlog now lng (first time). Nsa part n ako n nsa Day Home. Pls tell her.. keep nya po ung Pen s table nya. Dilikado po yan s mga bata & all things n matutulis or nabi-break. Ok.. Ingat po lgi & GOD BLESS!!!🌹🙏🏻

Watching this vid reminded me of my ate who is a doctor. When she first went to Canada 9 years ago, she started work at a grocery chain before eventually landing her dream job in the hospital. I'm sure things will get better in time. God bless Emma! Super proud of you. I've always admired your humility and perseverance. ❤️

be sure na may gloves si baby pag lumalabas kayo ng bahay.. be safe kasi mabilis mag freeze ang digits natin..

Kaya mo yan kabayan,just wear a bonnet and scarf,kayang kaya yan kabayan.

Ate, ganun talaga ang buhay. May klasmyt akong MGA nurse tapos nun nag doktor sila. Nagtrabaho sila SA USA pero Hindi doktor kundi nurse.

Hi Emma, keep doing what you think is right for your situation. What works with your family and schedules. I read some of the comments advising you not to stick on another field far from your line of career. Hindi po kasi tayo parepareho ng sitwasyon. Gaya ko nuon na Architect and used to be a consultant in Saudi Arabia nahirapan akong makapasok ng talagang trabaho ko so I tried every opportunity nandyan nag-janitor, laundryman, courier, seimen operator and lastly as quality inspector in a big window company. Alam nyo after being so flexible taking all the job available it helped me develop a no fear losing a job because I proved myself that I can do anything that keeps us survive. Now I’m retired and enjoying the life together with my family. We’re just travelling and going for a holiday in the Philippines especially during the Christmas season. You both are doing great..

Nako Atty. Baka maubos sweldo mo dyan. Ganda ng mga bilihin dyan. Ingat Atty!😊 Atty maganda ang Canada lalo na sa mga nag me menopause. Malayong malayo kapa sa menopause Atty. Sinabi ko lang na maganda ang lamig sa mga babaeng nag me menopause. Si Auntie ko para daw syang sinisilaban pero dahil sa Canada sya okay feeling nya. Pag summer aircon daw sya.

Bili kayo ng shoe spikes to prevent slipping on the slippery snow guys. Attach on your shoes.

masasabi ko lang.....Welcome To Canada he...he. he....

congratulations miss Emma. Kilala po ba ni sir alwin si jv orera vlogger din n nag wowork sa malalaking freezer? Godbless and keep safe

Hello Emma, would like to know how’s the schedule in SAIT? How do you manage working then studying. Thanks

Wear ear cover , wear thick wool scarf to cover your nose too, kahit mata lang Ang nakalabas, I even wear protective/surgical eyeglasses kasi masakit din sa Mata Ang sobrang lamig. I live in Minnesota pero Hanggang negative 10 lang Ang na experience ko. Ingatan Ang katawan Hindi porke kaya . Ang Pilipinas very humid, in Canada pag winter very dry Ang air plus the heater makes the air more dry, install humidifier sa home . Saludo Ako sa inyong mag Asawa.

Ingat po

Learn how to drive is best solution to thrive in cold weather.

Hindi pang -20 c ang suot mo. Need mo ng thicker touque ng parka mittens wool socks etc

pwede ka siguro ate kumuha ng test para ma ka pirma ng mga notaryo ba tawag dun.... may kilala ako nun dyan sa real estate office sya nag wwork and same time nag nnotaryo

Ate bli pala kayo ng thermal clothes pti leggings, then pwd mong patungan ng long sleeves then mas makapal na winter jackets

Para nrin ako naglalakad sa calgary. Ang lamig 😂

mas okay kung may hood ang coat at may scarf sa leeg up to face para hindi ramdam ng mukha ang lamig at magsuot din ng thermal pants para hindi ramdam ng legs ang lamig, yung shoes din mahalaga na pang snow para hindi madulas at hindi manigas ang paa at gloves para hindi manigas ang kamay :)

Take note mo yung mga ina advise sayo sa proper clothing para makatulong sayo malabanan ang lamig.

I remember my sister and my brother in law. They used to live in Edmonton but after how many years they are now live in Victoria B.C. in Canada. Both of them went back to school sa una talagang Hirap. Double job yong sister ko while my brother in law went back to school then my student loan pa sila na $30,000 yong brother in law ko dahil Canadian citizen na siya. After graduating then pumasa and thank God Engineer na siya. Then my sister naman ang sumunod nag aral din after naging Canadian citizen din. Ang dami din nilang pinag daanan pero God is good talaga. They are renting 1 10:00 10:03 bedroom apartment with their daughter na nasa college of nursing na. They are planning to buy a house in Victoria or thinking to move to B Vancouver soon. Hanggang ngayon double job pa rin sister ko para makuha yong isa niyang anak na naiwan sa pinas

..my cousin is a Lawyer, he graduated from law school from a not so prestigious college in Philippines, now he's a successful corporate lawyer in Makati.. you can be successful in your country practicing your vocation and going to another country to be DH or Helper..

Nice Video. My positive advice try mong mag apply not in retails subukan mo sa mga office na related sa iyong profession kahit sa mababang position lang. Like clerk or process server. Importante ang makapasok ka sa mga industry na related sa profession mo. Please don't get me wrong. Noong nag migrated ako sa US pinilit ko rin na pasukin kung anong tinapos ko at work ko sa Pinas sa awa ni Lord 20 years ginagamit profession ko. That's my positive advice at samahan mo na rin ng Pray. Goodluck po!

there is a reward for all sacrifices . believe me . at least hindi na mahihirapan si cocomelon paglaki . you will be smiling in the end . AKL NZ

malaking adjustment ang ginagawa niyo po. sana po makapag open kayo agad ng TFSA, alam kong tight ang budget pero yan ang dapat ding isaalang alang para sa inyong kinabukasan at maginvest sa index fund. madaming lagi na lang nagwowork hanggang pagtanda pero hindi naginvest sa stocks. pwede niyo pong piliin na maginvest sa index fund diyan o dito sa sp500 dito sa US.

What ever educational attained is rarely in pinas is not recognize in canada as the saying goes you have to start from scratch or bottom but at least the family is abroad good luck

Hello, do you have recommendations po for Philippines Based lawyers for property matters.

Work work work

Naku Lawyer po pla kayo sa Pinas, sana napag isipan nyong mabuti ang pag punta nyo sa Canada. Aside from financial readiness which is mostlikely marami kayong baong. Maraming pride ang lulunukin nyo. Pero pag nalagpasan nyo yan worth it naman. Tulad ng sinasabi ng karamihan, if well-off naman sa pinas hindi na advisable sumugal sa Canada .

In early 1800 AD in America, in order to own a land for free. The Inhabitants has to clear the trees And site in order to build a home So Emma, Work hard, stay positive And pray. You will be succeesful Later .?Forget the 3rd world country Philippines.

welcome to 🇨🇦 from Sauga, Ontario. 15 yrs ago, FSW -Federal Skilled Worker naman kami and we started sa factory. and for the past 14+ yrs, we are practicing our profession. For sure, your family can make it here. BTW, layer of clothes is the basic technique to keep you warm.

Ate, tanong Lang saang lugar SA Canada Yung walang snow pero malamig Lang? Vancouver? Kasi Yung MGA relatives ko na nakatira SA USA mayroong lamig pero Hindi nag snow Kung gusto Ng snow pupunta Ka SA bukid.

Lawyer po pala kyo madame?

Hi momshie Emma! Pano po scheduling nyo sa school at sa work? Pumapasok din po ba kayo sa SAIT everyday?

Hi po. I heard that lawyers score high in the crs. May I know po why you opted for the student pathway and not the express entry pathway?
