CANADA CULMINATING
I choose to immigrate to Canada because of Canada’s great medical care system. My daughter Mia has Krabbe disease and so she needs constant medical assistance. In the USA our old home, our medical bills were off the charts. Last year alone 12% of our income was dedicated to helping her and her condition. Here in Canada we can simply head down to the doctors office and request treatment for no personal cost. A couple of years ago she needed a bone marrow transplant that cost 800,000 dollars. Our other son Francis also has a hereditary disease named cystic fibrosis that also cost a hefty fee. The reason why our family could not purchase insurance is because our children were born with pre-existing conditions making it virtually impossible to find a provider that cost less than 40 thousand per year for the both of them, so a permanent relocation was an obvious choice.

The second reason is because Diane got a job offer at one of the best firms in Canada. She works as a litigator and she was recently admitted to the Canadian Bar Association, and so hiring one of New Yorks best lawyer was a no brainer for Bratton-Gould and Associates.
The last reason for our permanent relocation was for our children’s infancy. We believe that downtown New York is not a place for children to grow up in, We felt that the suburbs are far better at supporting their hobbies and their education. Also we believe that New York is far too hostile and environment for children’s formative years, since last year alone 19.84 people commited violent crimes in Manhattan, this is not the environment our children should be spending their young years.

The reason why we choose Winnipeg was for two main reasons, the first is that our surgeon Dr.Athatakis lives in the general area. It is vital that we live nearby to our physician incase one of our children’s hereditary diseases starts to show its symptoms and could pose a threat to their own livelihood and the future of their lives, and so I believe that our children’s security is far more important than our money or our confort. The reason why we only let Dr.Athatakis operate on our children is because of his unbelievable track record out of 100 pedeatric surgeries only 5 died.

The second reason why we moved to Winnipeg was for Diane’s professional career, she Is one of the best litigators and North America and so one of Canada’s biggest law firms would love to have her as part of their litigation team. Ever since we met Diane has been very serious about her career, she worked as a waitress several years to be able to afford law school and she believes that being her lawyer and helping defenceless people is purpose in life. The reason why specifically choose this law firm was because of their pro bono policy. They dedicate 20% of all their resources just to doing free cases for no personal profit and that was something that was absolutely necessary for Diane

Me and my wife intend to be model citizens of this great nation and help around our neighbourhood and assist our community. Professionally I intend to help the homeless by developing a way to get clean and accessible water to them for free. Ever since I graduated with a plumbing degree I always wanted to help the less fortunate and this is a great way to use my knowledge for the good of the people. My wife on the other hand intends to take pro bono law cases in order to help those who cannot pay for a good legal defence and not lose a case because of an incompetent public defender as Diane’s mother did we she was a child. We also as a family intend to go to homeless shelters and hand out hot food, we believe teaching our children to help and respect those less fortunate helps build their character and turn them into productive members of society.
