First of all, I'll talk a little about our history. My husband and I are from Rio de Janeiro. I am graduated in Letters (Portuguese, French and English) and have a post-grad diploma in Linguistics. I have spent the last 18 years teaching English as Second Language basically, but besides that I have experience with events planning and selling exchange programs as well. My husband is a Naval Engineer and has worked his whole life at Petrobras, the biggest Brazilian oil company. We have three children: Jose Renato (7yo, born in France), Gustavo (5yo) and Manuela (3yo), both born in Rio too. We used to have an 11 yo Bulldog named Kenzo, which passed away on his way to Canada, and I'll talk about it later.
We have lived in different countries throughout our lives due to our jobs (USA, France, Holland, Italy), and although we love Brazil, the violence was so scary that we couldn't stop thinking about moving to a safer place. In our case, among the options we had, Canada was the perfect place to raise our children due to accesible immigration programs, equity standards, great education, proximity to Brazil, low violence records and great quality of life.
Moving to Canada was a metter of survival, for our kids' future and for our own sanity. We've committed ourselves to make it work. It's been a great journey and we're still in the beginning, but if one thing is sure is that we'll succeed.
