Toronto, Ontario. Applying for citizenship soon.
Edit: Oh and I don't want to give you the impression that it's easy, it's not. Looking for work is hard because they say you don't have canadian work experience. So I had to do a couple of years of volunteer work before I got my first paid job. And school is also hard because the paperwork doesn't translate that well, so when they were placing me in high school, they were going to put me a grade lower than what I was supposed to be because they thought I wouldn't be able to keep up. Turns out school here is a lot easier than in my home country, they placed me in the right grade. You really have to work at becoming part of the society, I'm not saying those who failed didn't work hard, because the system isn't very friendly to immigrants, but you definitely have to work at it to have a chance.
