ABOUT THE BOOK
An Immigrant’s Odyssey to Canada, will take you on a journey of transition from the author's home country Jamaica to the unknown territory of Canada, where she and her family had to embrace new discoveries that reshaped their lives. They quickly were intrigued by the diverse cultural tapestry, including Indians, Chinese, Israelites, Ukrainians, Greeks, Filipinos, Africans and more, which colored their social experiences.
Transitioning from the Caribbean's warmth to the frigid cold of Canada was eye-opening. Our perception of paradise shifted as we adapted to our new reality. Through personal stories and shared experiences this book equips students, families, and anyone contemplating migration with essential insights for a successful journey into the unknown.
Whether you're new to the idea or simply intrigued by the migrant's experience, this book offers a window into the courage it takes to leave behind familiarity, embark on a new path, and create a meaningful life, emotionally and financially.
