The stories that used the Canada arrival to show three different stages of immigration were heartfelt and tender.

To celebrate our first full year as a country, we asked three immigrant authors to write their stories about arriving in Canada.

Arriving by plane at Kahouri is quite special. It’s been an awesome experience to make friends with children who have an immigrant family background because they’ve gone through the same things and understand you well too. That’s one of the best parts of celebrating a full year as Canadians!

Canada has welcomed me with wide open arms. I am proud of my Canadian brothers and sisters for welcoming Syrian refugees because it must take much courage for them to do that too- especially in this loud world today with its divisive thinking way too often on display. We can all work hard together, closer than ever before, so there’s always enough room for everyone in Canada.”
