Why Canada?
Many people from Minas Gerais chose Canada in the late 1980s. Two sisters came first, then my mother, and two more sisters. Then I came just to explore the country and to stay with my family. The final decision – the best of my life – was mainly for my daughters to have the opportunity to grow up in a country that is not perfect, but almost gets there.
