    Once you are happy and at peace with your decision, then you made the right choice. Don't worry if you feel like switching from Canada a few years from now. Life is about change. You are free to make your choices and your changes. Just live your life and be happy. God Bless.

    Canada is different where heat is concerned trust me, it doesnt get that hot there at all, at least not to me. Its more on the extremely cold side ive been in Vancouver in Blizzards . As a Jamaican that is used to the St. Catherine heat and now live in Japan almost 5 years, merciful father i swear the sun sits on my skin and burn it like fire. Japan mek mi hate summer the humidity is unbearable!!! i would rather freeze than be hot.

    I think most people from the Caribbean would've opted to migrate to Canada originally, but 2020 and those mandates and how most of the people there pretty much rolled over for the mandates kinda removed that desire. It seems like Canada is the austrailia of the west to just bow down to anything, so it was a major turn off for many people including myself. Especially if you're someone of faith , you don't want to go somewhere Liberal, and then the focus has been shifted from just money.
