Introduction

My name is Mandeep Kaur Grewal. I am taking Computer Engineering at Humber College. I finished my high school in India and came to Canada in December, 2009.  Moving to Canada was an exciting experience, but at the same time leaving my family was challenging for me. There is a lot I learned from this country and its people. I have a lot of friends here and I like hanging out with them even though they are not from the same culture or the same country as mine. We talk about each other’s cultural values, food, traditions and customs and we respect them. I find a lot of changes in myself ever since I came here.  Back in India, I was completely dependent on my family for everything, but now I find myself more independent, responsible and confident.

I never took migration seriously before. But since I am keeping this blog for one of my courses that focuses on migration and its effects, now I find that there are a lot of things both positive and negative related to migration besides just moving physically. My question about migration is that does it affect the second generation of immigrants too? I mean are they considered domestic or not? And my another question is that do nomads need  visa when they move to another country? If not then do they have to prove that they are nomads and how do they prove it?

I am looking forward to listen from all of you.

Thank you.
