Onwards and upwards...

It was back in June, 2016 when I had the opportunity to visit Montréal, which is the most populous city in the Canadian province of Quebec and only second to Toronto. Although I have had the opportunity to travel to some of the most beautiful countries in the past either on professional commitments or on personal leisure trips, there was something about this country that clearly struck a chord.

In all of the one week long trip, there wasn't a single moment when I felt I was on foreign soil or ever felt alienated by my surroundings. On the contrary there was a mystical sense of belonging and a magnetic pull, stronger than I ever felt anywhere else, bringing me closer to itself.

Since my growing up days, I have always aspired to travel to foreign shores and explore the diverse cultures, cuisines and the way of life in these places. But, this feeling was different... it was almost like returning to a place I have known all my life, and it was that moment of reckoning which prompted me to contemplate a life altering decision to migrate to this foreign land, which doesn't seem that foreign anymore...

Fast forward to June, 2017 as I pen these thoughts gearing up to soon commence my new life, in a new place and a whole set of new adventures... I can't thank my family, relatives, friends and well-wishers enough for always supporting me and believing in my dreams and having my back!

So as destiny and fate would have it, I have successfully attained my Permanent Resident Visa for Canada and I will soon be migrating, where I will continue my pursuit of happiness and strive even harder to grow as an individual and a professional.

Keep Dreaming! Onwards and upwards...
