‘It’s OK if Canada isn’t for you’: This Calgary newcomer wants to go back home. She isn’t alone
A year and a half after moving to Canada from the Philippines, Ali Quina is strongly considering moving back home. Life here is just so much harder than people made it out to be, she said.
Quina came to Calgary looking for opportunities and a better quality of life. But even after moving here with work experience in marketing and completing a certificate at the University of Calgary, she’s struggling to find a job in her field.
Why?
Canada has no shortage of people with a marketing degree/diploma. What skillset did she possess that Canada absolutely needed?
