{UAH} I came to Canada last month but found it very hard to stay here. What can I do now?

Rajiv.

I have been in Canada for quite a while, I think I am in a place to tell the possible reasons why you might be feeling it's hard and will give some solutions. #myopinion

Don't worry unlike others I am not gonna say go back or something.

Coming to the "hard to stay here part", below ones can be possible reasons

• If you arrived as an immigrant you will be little hesitant, or have some sort of insecurity like "what to say and what not to say" or "how to behave". You might be taking a hit because of that.
• Don't have people to talk to or don't have anyone helping in getting adapted.
• Missing your loved ones a lot.
• The food! Yeah, food also can make you homesick.
• Finally, in the west, people are not so social but in India, the place where I come from, even if you are introvert others around will not leave you alone in most cases. So you always have someone around to hang out. That's a big change.

Now coming to what can you do about it?

• Try friendship with like-minded people and go explore places.
• Keep yourself occupied. For example, cooking helps (Before having any friends I used to cook a lot and cooking actually helped me with depression ROFL).
• What's the objective of coming here? Studying? Maybe put heart and soul into that.
• Try to join social groups but don't change yourself by acquiring habits in order to just fit in.

If you don't have an objective, no purpose, not able to make friends then you should move to some other place where you feel like you belong.

Whatever it is "You are not in Canada to survive, you are here to live life!"

All the best and peace out \/
