Good morning, I am a Haitian citizen who have been living in USA for the past three 3 years. I recently obtained my bachelor degree and want to start my career. I'm considering making an asylum claim at an official port entry (land border), I have a Canadian family member.

My biggest concern is housing. My uncle supposed they'd provide me some kind of temporary housing and then he'd help me find a private room in shared housing.

Personally, I'd rather avoid living with many people that I don't know. Considering these facts:

- I speak Haitian creole (main language), French (8/10), English (7/10).

- I have around 5000 - 6000 USD (7,107.22 CAD - 8,526.84) in savings.

- I'd be willing to take any job to start.

- I don't have any Canadian history, I may not have a cosigner (I can't fully rely on my uncle).

- I'd like to live in Montreal but any place in Quebec would be fine.

How long do you think it'd take to secure a 1 1/2 or 3 1/2 studio (nothing shared) in Quebec?

I know things are slow in Quebec, do you think I should go somewhere else first before coming to Quebec? Or should I head straight to Quebec and see whether it's worth staying?

I am looking for software engineer roles, I don't have to pick a bad location from the beginning.

I want Quebec because I noticed French interviews are easier for me, however I'm wiling to compromise .

I have around 9k USD (federal loans), payment will start in February 2027.

Onè!
Gen yon fenomèn lengwistik ki rele lyezon. Lyezon fèt lè yon son makònwn ant de mo nan pwononsyasyon.
« an Ayiti », se pa « ann Ayiti ».

« An » kapab sèvi nan yon konstriksyon vèbal tou fanmi m.

Egzanp:
An nou lapriyè.
An n lapriyè.

La a, « An n » se fòm kontrakte « An nou ».
Kidonk, nou pa dwe konfonn lyezon ak kontraksyon.

Respè!

Haïti traverse aujourd’hui l’une des crises les plus complexes de son histoire récente. Plus de 5,9 millions de personnes — soit plus de la moitié de la population — sont en situation d’insécurité alimentaire aiguë, 1,4 million d’habitants ont été déplacés en raison de la violence des gangs, et le pays n’a pas organisé d’élections présidentielles depuis près d’une décennie. Ce chaos, loin d’être le fruit de circonstances récentes, est l’aboutissement de plusieurs siècles de structures prédatrices, d’interventions étrangères destructrices et de choix politiques internes désastreux. Pour comprendre la situation actuelle, il faut remonter à la naissance même de la nation. 

Pour ceux que ça intéresse, j'écris plus longuement sur mon profil.

Gommier nights

I ain't got no qualms
