4T his project is to study the immigration in Canada and the complications and obstacles that all newcomer
teenagers have to go through to get closer to a dream
that is hoped to be reached in a their country that they will
call home. By asking people who have been in Canada for
a certain period of time, who came as teenagers and have
experienced everything first hand and have already worked
the issue out by finding a career that seemed rushed decision
due to the circumstances, instead of well elaborated career path.
The reason I want to study this, is to create a community
of immigrants that want the situation for newcomers to
improve by informing the Canadian government about the
issues that new teenagers overcome them, to at least get into
a course that is possible for them and that their credits and
requirements fulfill. A common opinion in people whom
have already lives for a couple of years in Canada and whom
arrived as teenagers seems to be constant; most of then
instead of going to school for what they wanted, they ended
up taking a career that applied to the credits they had and
ended up choosing a career that seemed easy. The reason
for the making of this decision is due to stress to fit in,
lack, of attention to their problems, insufficient funds to pay
a better career.
This will benefit society by informing the directives and
make them realize that the way that immigrants who arrive to
Canada arent being supported in the way that should be done,
and should improve the guidance according to the person
instead of assuming that what all which one person wants is
the best for everybody else; by doing these improvements,
the economy of Canada will be enhanced since the
competitiveness in many areas will raise and will also make
the lifestyle better for all.
This area of study is different to all the others, because
contrary to what is already out there, which its been done
by only studies and surveys with bias, and also directed to
immigrants, this will be seeing by the eyes of immigrants
directed to the government, to aware that due to the
inconvenient and lack of guidance upon their arrival, young
immigrants see themselves forced to change their plans to
adjust the Canadian lifestyle.
5Currently there is nothing informing the government about how the immigrants feel about the guidance and support being working for the incomers; the only guidance there is, its only directed to immigrants and its the web-site for Immigration Canada, directing people who are planning to come to Canada about the requirements, how to apply for permits, licenses, visas and paperwork, directed to adults; as for the younger people such as teenagers, they are being overlooked
and not taken in mind as for what they are going to be living in a new country with a new culture
Something else that government is missing is the importance put in the knowledge
that teenagers might bring from their country since due to some lack of
practise with the language might result in misunderstanding of information for
the person, making them seem to be in a lower level in school, holding students back, and forcing them to go through curses again, prolonging their period of study.
The lack of guidance during high school is the main issue for young immigrants since for high school students the time seems to be running backwards adding
pressure in what career to chooseThe classes should be instead
of making it easier for the student, should be directed to what the
student wants to take afterwards, improving the help that will be needed
to achieve an average and goal for the student. Not only school and change of
culture is an issue, the so called Canadian experience is an issue as well for immigrating
teenagers, since the short period of living doesnt allow enough time to create this experience, which is required in many jobs.
The need for the government to keep in mind teenagers who enter Canada, is to improve their stay, education and decisions to be taken in this country supporting them in what their dreams are, since teenagers are the future, and in their hands is the prosperity of the country.

7The principal reason for immigrants to arrive to Canada is economic reasons, in their country they might have issues working due to lack of available jobs or underpaid salaries. Many professionals decide to move out of their countries because even thought they have finished their studies, the economy of the country does not pay enough to support their family, forcing them to flee.
The main problem for professionals is that when they come to Canada, they dont know English or their English is so basic that they are not allowed to work in their area driving them to work in jobs with low salaries such as cleaning, driving cabs or even fast food restaurants wasting their knowledge that could be put in practise and benefit the country at any level.
The best way for a professional to come and work in their area is by having contacts with an employer who is willing to report immigration that
the person will be hired in the company. Otherwise, professionals come to an uncertain chance of finding a job. When professionals come to Canada, if they
dont know the language they are required to take a course of English, with the disadvantage that at the same time the person has to keep in mind the expenses of their living and they can hardly work due to the schedules, even though some of them live by the welfare, which doesnt create a high income making them live in a very tight budget, this forces them to drop the classes, and become part of the low income jobs making difficult to restart their
classes to practice their profession. Another inconvenient that professionals face
when coming to Canada, is that their degrees are not accepted due to the fact that the courses werent taking in Canada even thought that sometime the education outside might be more advanced or specialized in certain areas, and again are required to retake the courses in university or college.

Since many immigrants look for better opportunities not only for them, but for their families too, they bring their children along to give them an education and improve their chances of a better future. On 2008 an amount of 37,425 of immigrants between 15 years old up to 24 years old arrived to Canada. These people come to learn a new language and start a new life in a culture that they provably havent experienced before, causing them to be held back in school years, delaying their learning and even causing depression leading them to drop out, on the other side, another group of them whom may not drop out, end up taking courses that they hadnt planned, and a small minority end up taking courses that they wanted to; this is not only due to the disadvantage of changing culture or language, but it is also influenced by the guidance given in school. When a student starts school, undergoes a test to judge the level of English and math that the student is at, and from there, the student is placed
in certain level, sometimes even taken them back 2 school years and then located in a temporary school. Upon arrival to high school, the student is placed in easy classes not related leaving them with no opportunity to apply to courses in a post secondary education.
A strong factor that affects students, is the economic source, now that at the moment when the teenager reaches and postsecondary search for education, many parents are still struggling to have a stable income to support their living expenses, at this point is when teenagers start looking for work to help at home and at the same time support themselves and their studies, unfortunately most jobs require Canadian experience which the person might not have, limiting their opportunity to work leading teenagers to take jobs with a low payment in such places as fast food restaurants or grocery stores which dont create enough income to afford a descent education.

8Currently there is m
any sources of information
available for people who are planing to
come to Canada, the one that has the m
ost
information available for people is Citizenship and
Imm
igration Canada web-site w
hich has many
links to all the information, phone num
ber to
contact the offices and an area of frequent asked
questions. Other options available for im
migrants
are consulates and embassies in the countries, w
hich
are available for people to approach and solve any
issue or get an answer to any doubt that there is.
In other cases lawyers have offices that deal w
ith
imm
igration and help improve the process for the
legal documents.
Many of the im
migrants arent fam
iliarized
with the lifestyle in C
anada and find
themselves lost until they catch up w
ith
it giving them an extra factor of stress. The rhythm
of life is very busy compared w
ith other countries,
judging by other countries, the rhythm of life in
Canada feels like people live to work, instead of
working to live since people who are not used to
it, tend to spend more than what they earn and put
themselves in debt by having m
any credit cards,
loans, a big mortgage also adding the fact that the
regular live expenses are expensive compared to
other countries.

9The investigation of immigrants lifestyles and changes of culture has inspired the idea and my project which is based on stories and anecdotes of immigrants to Canada, and their experiences living in a new culture; to aware to government the lack of support and guidance for teenage immigrants. To achieve this I have created a passive protest to gather a community giving the chance to people who want to share their experience with the government and improve the situation for new Canadians, so it is proven that this difficulties dont only relate to few people but to a big amount of immigrants. That is why I have decided to call this project Visa for a dream?; To imply the doubt and insecurity that the situation creates in the community that leaves them wondering if coming to Canada was the right decision to make their dreams come true or end up doing something that they werent expecting

After designing the graphic its printed on the recipient paper to transfer on clothes.
After the graphics were printed the exceding material was removed to have a cleaner look
This is how it looked after the exceding material was removed before application
19
Onced cut its placed on the whished area and covered with paper to iron.
Iron for about a minute and remove the covering paper.
20
The graphics were plotted, weededand masked for easier transfer.
Then the stencil was placed on the luggage in the place where wished.
Once the graphic is placed, its stuck on the lid to avoid bleeds.
21
Since the graphics are stuck on the lid, the tranfering mas is carefully removed to alllow the application of the paint.
Now the paint is applied in the exposed cloth to maintain paint the wished area, carefullly not to bleed under the stencil.
After the paint is dry, the stencil is removed and the graphic is printed on the lid.
Now some touches and little detailsare added to finish the look of the logo

To take this project to a w
hole new level, I w
ould like to approach the
directives and administration of
the current imm
igrant programs,
and inform them
about the problem
s that teenagers go through.I w
ould also create a way to get
in touch with m
ore people and create a larger com
unity whom
is interested in im
mproving the
situation for future generations and create a voluntary program
s to invite new
comers in C
anada to
answer and guide them
better into the adaptation to the new
lifestyle that they w
ill live from them
on.A
nother way to take the project
into a bigger scale and reach to a larger com
unity, and for people to be ready even before com
ming
to Canada, w
ould be to have program
s in other countries to inform
them and educate about
the situation, so they are ready even before arriving to C
anada.
