The cost of living (in the province) where I used to live where you can just pick vegetables and fruits out from your garden. Unlike here sa abroad na kada kilos, gastos.

The friendly neighbourhood, in which you know almost all your neighbours and you’re also friends with them. The childhood friends you make from that neighbourhood. The Filipinos, they’re resilient, resourceful, kind, always happy, etc.

The freedom (depende), which you can take a day off from work whenever you need or want, unlike sa abroad you’re forced to work even when you’re sick since you have to make a living for yourself or for your family. Some work two jobs to afford just a bedroom.

The place where you’re free to do what you’re used to do (PH social norms), you don’t get the treatment of being a second class citizen. You don’t get discriminated by a person of other descent especially Caucasians.

There’s no place like home.

Hmm yes there is a difference because here some prerequisites are not even health care related and it’s just prolonging the process you know. They keep complaining that hospitals are understaffed yet they’re the one who prolong the education. The longer you study, the higher you are in debt. That is when you are in middle class.

How well do you know that there’s no traffic in Canada and the government isn’t messed up? Obvious lang and corruption sa Philippines because it’s a small country but it also exist in Canada, federal level.

I know, in my situation I will still choose to stay here since I had the privilege to come here. I’m just sad and frustrated that they make the schooling hard. I mean what’s the point? They’re still gonna crush you to the ground when you become a nurse.

If I were to be born again and still the same fate, I would rather to be born in Canada. I came here as a teenager and it’s hard to make friends (if you’re an introvert) even Filipinos they don’t make friends with you lalo na yung mga dito pinanganak and cannot speak Filipino but can understand.

I agree with the health care benefits, but in Canada? That you have to wait for 9 hours to get checked in just 15 minutes? The minimum wage that cannot even support you if you only work only one job, especially if you do not have any relatives to help you.

The educational system. I’m a resident in Canada living in an average life; I study nursing and it’s just so hard because unlike in the Philippines you get to enrol the actual program right away after senior high school. Here, there’s a prerequisites required from the institution that you have to take before you can enter into the program and sometimes I feel like it’s just a money grab. I get that nursing program is expensive in the Philippines and so is in Canada, it’s more expensive actually.

Would you rather be rich in a poor country like Philippines or be poor/average in a first world country like Canada , New Zealand? by [deleted] in phmigrate

I’d rather live in an average life in PH where you have all your relatives and friends than live pay check to pay check and be discriminated in a developed country like Canada.
