So my aunt and her kids fled the war in Ukraine and is living in the French part of Canada. At the time she applied for the US too, and they recently answered so she decided to go to Detroit instead of staying in Canada.
I’m in Canada and I’m like whyyy???
But apparently “it’s easier for her kid to become a firefighter there, school and medical care is covered for new immigrants, and she can take classes for herself for cheap too, they don’t have to learn French and the immigration is less strict”.
Honestly, in part I understand it’s not perfect here, but I highly doubt it’s better there, both situations suck until they get better. I’m just afraid they’re blinded by the “grass is greener on the other side” bs. Because no way is education and medical care is cheap there after a certain amount of time.
Sadly she doesn’t have family there. Only in the French part and Detroit. And she chose Detroit over us 🫠
