To immigrate in a new country is not an easy decision and it is essential to think of it lengthily and to weigh up all the consequences. This implies that one examines all the aspects of the problem: economic, cultural, family, human, etc. When one has children, it is useful to think of their education and their future. It is never easy to start again a new life that requires sacrifices, will, obstinacy and a very great will of adaptation. Canada, where Quebec is the single French-speaking province, is a country where all is possible for those who want to push their limits even further.
