    Hi Atty. I think you made the right choice.You sacrificed everything for the future of your family. Welcome to Canada!
    I am not a member of the IBP but I could relate to you as far as the pain and challenges of moving to a new country from the Phil.
    I have been in Canada since 1989 and plan to retire this coming year.
    Mahirap talagang mag adjust dito sa Canada. However, for those of us who did mot give up, the future is bright.
    At the end of the day you will come to realize that coming to tjis big beautiful country is the best decision you have made in your life. For yourself and your family.Good luck.

      Canada is the biggest scammer of all time. Immigration to Canada is the biggest scam.
      They are inviting people to immigrate to their place which is their source also of their economic activity.
      Its à barren Land after all.

      i can relate ... new subscriber here. I left the Philippines in 2005 to join my wife in London. Leaving my dream job as Municipal Engineer and Civil Engineer for 10 years in my humble hometown is never easy... then starting in a new country from scratch is a huge challenge ... but with determination , prayer and resilience ... I kept my pride away and work as cleaner , then care assistant , nurse assistant then went back to university and gained my First Class Honours in Nursing in 2014 ... still studying even at 50 for a post graduate studies is a continuous challenge . I hope and wish your decision with your family to move to Canada is successful. God bless.

    Hi Emma. I'm also a lawyer in Philippines and I practiced for 5 years as corporate lawyer in an insurance company. I live here in Las Vegas. Thank you for sharing your story. In Nevada, I'm not qualified to file petition for equivalency to take bar exam because I need 10 years of practice. I'm short of 5 years. But that's ok. I got a great job in an insurance company here and worked for 5 years. I owned 2 houses in Las Vegas and saved up for retirement. Don't worry about not practicing law. There are job and business opportunities that are better than the law profession and that can pay equivalent or more than the law profession. That's just my opinion. Keep it up.

      @@alexchiu6621 As I heard from friends, Judges in the Philippines are paid 200 to 300 thousand pesos per month kasama na diyan mga allowances and depende rin sa length of service at sa kung anong Court, RTC, MTC. Prosecutors/Fiscals starting at 200 libo per month. Ngunit ang mga position na yon ay kailangan 5 years experience at sa RTC 10 years experience. Sa private sector naman may Pay Scale na nilaan ng IBP para sa lahat na practitioner upang walang unfair competition. May Acceptance Fee, Retainer Fee, Appearance Fee at iba pa. Ayon sa mga practitioner na ang may established na private practice ay kikita rin ng average 150 to 300 libo per month after deducting expenses. Ang iba siguro na bagohan pa lang at wala pang established na mga cliente maliit lang kinikita.

    Hi Emma and Alvin, your story of settling in Canada is very inspiring . We have been living here in Vancouver for the past 29 years. Just like you, we left our nice jobs in the Philippibes to look for a better opportunities for our two kids. I worked in an American bank while my wife was a an ICU nurse in PGH. Our two kids were 16 and 6 years old then. We're proud to say that our son (Mark) is now a successful auto mechanic in Lexus while our daughter (Kristine) is a nurse in Richmond Hospital. One thing more, we came to Canada when I was already 45 years old and my wife was 41. It' s really very hard working your way up in a foreign country. We were able to succeed through prayers and sacrifices. We are already retired now and receiving a good pension from the government. So much now for my long story of struggle in Canada. Laban lang kabayan.

Right now po,hindi po kami makapagdecide ng husband ko kung sasama na ba sya sa akin or ako na lang muna. He's currently a seafarer sa cruiseship.

      @@alwinemma Just always remember, just like when we were still in the college of law, mahirap sa una ang logic and how to analyze provisions pero once you learn to understand how it works and how to apply it in different cases, madali na lahat, dba? Same thing when you are in a new place, you need to analyze the situation, what do they need, what do you need to prioritize first, how will you be competitive. Mahirap kasi mag-aadjust kayo pero eventually when you learn the trades of the place sobrang madali na lang. Just have the eagerness to adapt and always support each other.

You made me feel so much better now, the fact that I, myself, being a law student has just decided to quit law school and pursue our family dream to go to Canada. Yes, one of the toughest decisions I have ever made. This decision is also primarily for our kids' future. Thank you for validating my decision!!!! I wish you success in your Canada journey and hope to see you with your family in Canada, one day, in God's perfect time.

    Our kababayan here in Zamboanga, who spent many years in Canada, once shared a remarkable insight with us. "Canada is like a gold mine, great for working and earning, but not really a place to live." He went there solely to make money, living in a dingy basement and saving every penny. And save he did! He retired early and returned to our Province here in Philippines, with fortune in his pocket.
    Today, our kababayan lives like a king. Thanks to his frugality in Canada, he now owns not one, but two magnificent mansions and cars in our hometown plus the low-tax, low-cost-of-living and perfect weather here in Philippines. And as if that weren't enough, he's also invested in real estate rentals, with a profitable side business that brings him even more wealth.
    No more homesickness. Being around with close peeps gives him all the warm fuzzies and a sense of belonging that he couldn't find in Canada and anywhere else. But he still loves to travel back to Canada and other countries for tour purposes only.

I agree with all the points you mentioned, especially regarding Healthcare. As a doctor here in the Philippines, I feel so hopeless also for our broken healthcare system. And I also share the same fears that you have. Kaya I plan to leave na din soon. Watching your videos really inspires me. I hope to be as courageous as you! Rooting for you Emma!!! God bless!!! 🤗

    Emma that was an HONEST evaluation of everything in your decision to uproot your family and move to Canada. It's inspiring and hope in the next few months you have updates to this episode alone. Kodus to you and your husband for making the leap of faith to your new country and may you both succeed. It's beautiful up there too. By the way I suddenly remembered as I was contemplating of moving up there from the US, I called some facilities to work in Vancouver and befriended a nurse in one of those conversations as she urged me to move and told me that she's also an immigrant. I said really when her accent is the same as a canadian or american. She finally told me she's white born in Washington USA. I was so curious as to why she left the US. Her reason free healthcare as in the US you have to pay for insurance and everything and in her masteral thesis she found out that insurance after awhile could unload or throw you out from coverage if its been years they've been paying and taking care of you which the insurance industry considers as a loss. I've heard that in the news several years ago and more today. She also told me that healthcare in Canada is free for all while in the US only helps the rich NOT the poor. It was a revelation that took me by surprise and I believe her as it was her masteral thesis she has to defend.

    Hi Alvin and Emma. I am surprised to find your vlog! I am also a lawyer for 4 years. But my little family left naman last year for Australia for exactly the same reasons that you said. We have a son and we are happy with our current quality of life. We can’t imagine achieving this quality of life in the Ph despite having the “money.” For me, success is sleeping peacefully at night and seeing my child grow in a safe and healthy environment. ❤

    It depends on your passion. If you are passionate about practicing law then you will always feel that emptiness inside you no matter how financially successful you will be in Canada or USA. If lawyering for you is just a means to achieve financial success and social status then you can get your satisfaction without longing for the field you chose to abandon. As they say, America, England, Canada are places where the young and the talented, the enterprising and the industrious are constantly offered with opportunities and the rewards of efforts and initiative and even the common man is properly compensated for the sweat from his brow.

    You already made the right choice to move CAN. There is NO such thing as Free Healthcare. Please refer to pay stab 😮. But way better than having none at all (aka PH). I love that you are thinking about your children future. Many Filipino that comes to US/CAN just think about making money. After one year working, they want instant gratification (new car, brand name items, etc..) then they complain at end of month barely have enough money. In my mind, it is life style change that a lot Filipino struggle to adjust. Sorry for ranting..😁 Good luck Emma & Alwin. You have bright future ahead of you.

      I feel the same, being abroad for 16 years already. Everyone has their own reasons & opinions though. But mine is - it’s just one big rat race out here in the west. Yes, all the factors that’s mentioned here are so attractive and really does make for a great decision for moving. But unfortunately, it’s not going to be that black and white. There are other hidden negative factors that would soon be at play, that really nobody talks about. I only wish people would have known that, if you already have a good job and are well established in the Philippines, then you are already well off and that is enough. There may be less traffic here, but everything is still at great distances that everyone in the family must learn to drive or drive their own car to be productive. (There are great public Transpo. - but still that takes time, as well). Children are better in the Philippines where they become very respectful, religious, we’ll behaved and very family oriented citizens. Peer pressure here in the west is very strong, even if you taught your kids well at home.. You may earn more here or have benefits - but it’s still mortgage here or insurance there, then taxes here or taxes there, etc. etc… With that said, I emphasize again that this is just my own opinion, from my own experiences. Truly, wish the best for your family!

    Have been practicing law for 17 years before moving to Canada. You're right, moving here is not about the money but for your children's future. Nilo Divina was a classmate in UST (first year in Arts & Letters). I just opted to take up law in San Beda. We moved in British Columbia in 2009. I did not pursue law anymore because it's costly and at the same time I was raising 2 kids when we moved here. If you need some tips/insights, just let me know.

      @@alwinemma You can call me maam :). Louie is just my dog's name. I read in the tread that you are taking the program for legal assistants. That is a good start but is more an admin thing. You can go techie and pursue a paralegal program, which pays more. As paralegal, you get to discuss cases with lawyers and be involved without the stress that goes with it. Of course there are time na stressful din but not as much if you're dealing with the case as a lawyer.

    Based on what I heard from your experience living in the Philippines you made the right the decision in moving to your chosen country. It is a night and day comparison, it maybe hard now because you are starting but in the long run you are much better off living in Canada. Everybody that migrate to another country goes thru what you are going through. My advice is always look at the end game of what you are looking to accomplish. Have faith and be strong.

    This is very true. Just like with my inlaws, hospitalizations striked and loans went left and right. Unfortunately, that would mean children are expected right away to give big amounts even though they have their own families already. I am only citing the reality about the immediate family financial struggles when things like this happen. It’s really hard, not all but majority in the Philippines thought that it’s fine , they have the money, they are earning dollars but less do they know that we are undermining our own budget just for them. Also, this is exactly me and my husband are both talking about that we will never do this to our daughter. One exact same reason why we migrated as well. By the way if you guys are in Calgary, we are just nearby, Cochrane.
