I’m really lost on what I should do with my future and could use some advice. I’m a Canadian citizen but have never lived in Canada. I’ve recently applied to Concordia, UdeM, and McGill, and I was also accepted for early admissions at The American University Of Beirut, I’m considering making the move to Canada. The idea is to study university in Canada, and to visit Lebanon over the summer (from May to August). I’ve got family in Canada (a cousin, my father, and an uncle), which is reassuring, but I’m still on the fence. One of the main reasons I’m considering the move is the lifestyle. Canada seems to offer better access to basic needs, public transportation, and an overall higher quality of life. But I’ve read quite a bit about the challenges of socializing there. It sounds like friendships in Canada are often more superficial compared to the deep, family-like bonds we have back home. That said, I do wonder if it’s possible to connect with other Lebanese people in Canada who share similar values and can match my wavelength. Maybe that could help bridge the gap and make the transition easier? I’d love to hear from anyone who’s made a similar move.
