435 Words2 Pages

When I arrived with my family in Canada, my parents had a small deposit that just supported us, as a family, for a few months. After that, my parents could not find job due to lack of English proficiency. Canada’s government help us with a small amount of money that helped us to live.

Because I was a full time grade 12 student, I could just work during weekends. The only times that were available in the time table that was not in conflict with my study time, was Fridays 5:00 PM to 3:00
