Discourse Analysis

I was only there once, about 55 years ago. I remember a sleepy little town.

My father immigrated to Canada from India in 1961 to complete his PhD, where he met my mother, a local farm girl. They married, and he soon joined Agriculture Canada as a research scientist at the Regina Research Station in 1963. Over his remarkable 40-year career, he contributed significantly to the evolution of herbicide research during a transformative era for Canadian agriculture. In the 1960s, as herbicide use surged across the prairies—building on early selective compounds like 2,4-D introduced post-World War II—his work focused on environmental residues and applicator safety, helping refine application methods amid a boom that saw the number of available herbicides in Canada and the U.S. rise from about 25 in 1950 to over 100 by the end of the decade. This period marked the widespread adoption of chemicals for weed control, enabling reduced tillage and boosting crop yields in grain production. By the 1970s, Agriculture Canada's efforts intensified with the introduction of groundbreaking non-selective herbicides like glyphosate, which revolutionized prairie farming by facilitating no-till practices and minimizing soil erosion while controlling persistent weeds. My father's studies on herbicide drift, persistence in air and soil, and human exposure played a key role in ensuring safer, more effective use, aligning with broader innovations that transformed western Canada's grain sector into a global powerhouse. Into the 1980s, as resistance issues emerged and manufacturing processes improved to reduce contaminants like dioxins in phenoxy herbicides, his research supported sustainable advancements, including better monitoring and guidelines that influenced international standards. Through these decades, his pioneering contributions helped develop and optimize herbicides now employed worldwide, fundamentally changing farming practices and enhancing productivity across the vast Canadian prairies.

I immigrated to Canada in 2020 during peak COVID. I lost my job working in the Middle East and I had my PR so it made sense moving to Canada for good. I’m a chemical engineer who worked in oil and gas for about 10 years in the Middle East. Once I landed in Canada, I went to work in Amazon Fullfillment Centre the week after I completed my quarantine. It was hard labor working for $16 per hour in Toronto. I worked for 10 months while working on my qualifications and engineering license. After that I was hired by an oil and gas contracting company and worked as a Trainee engineer after which I was promoted to Senior engineer in a year after I received my engineering license. I moved 4 cities in 4 years for my job. Now I am settled, own a home, got married to my long time girl friend and work at an Oil and Gas company which pays well. What I learnt through my experience is that Canada is a land of opportunities and people respect you for the work you do whatever it may be and do not judge you, all that we will have to do is work hard and improve on your skills. Integrate with the society, donate and volunteer. That’s how new immigrants can integrate. If you aren’t open minded and want to stay as you stayed in your country then you will not develop and it will hinder yours and the country’s progress.

I used to live in brampton

I am moving there now

Thanks, I just passed and scored 20/20 in 7 minutes. The questions were so easy, straight from the book and this video helped a lot. I also did a lot of mock tests.

thank u so much, I passed yesterday!

I like this guy now

Just took my test July 5th and passed 20/20!!!!!!! …thank you so much !!💕🥳🥳

I just took the test. 19/20 This video was a great help! I watched it twice and read the guide four times. Plus taking lots of mock tests online. Honestly, I was over prepared! The questions in the actual test were quite easy!

Just took the test, got 19/20 (July 2025). This video was of great help. Read the study once and watched this once video from start till end, and I was all set. Thanks for sharing this video. Also, thanks to everyone for the comments because your testimonies help give credibility.

Hello! I am coming to Canada next year as a student, my parents have given me permission to study abroad. 😊😊❤

I was one of the first ones who got PR though Jason Kenney's Canadian Experience class. Thank you, Mr. Kenney.

as a person who moved from alberta to brampton due to a family emergency for just 1 year, i was not prepared for the nosedive in quality of life at all

Lived in Brampton for years. Lovely place to live back in the 1990s.

I wrote my citizenship test 20/20 today. While the questions in the actual test were not the same as this video, this video helped me to review and prepare with confidence. I read the discover Canada guide cover to cover thrice and went over this quiz twice. What really helped is that this quiz refers you to the exact line and the page of the handbook which helped a lot in preparation. Good luck everyone!

It took me 7 years to get a PR

I used to live in Brampton and this is real.

I used to live in Brampton but moved to Quebec 3 months ago and I remmeber all of this crazyness and u went past one of my fav plaza

I had to leave Vancouver because it was too much, too fast!
