Aeron had always longed for a better life. He was born in the Philippines, a beautiful country but unfortunately, he grew up in a poor family.
His mum had to leave him and his siblings to move to Hong Kong in order to provide for them, as they often went to bed hungry because there was no food in the house.
He would only see her every two years.
12 years later, through hard work and determination, she managed to bring the whole family over to Canada. Aeron and his siblings were finally able to have a new start, an extraordinary “normal” life. They could now have all the opportunities they never had before.
Aeron's story is one of resilience and hope. It is a story that will inspire you to chase your dreams and do whatever it takes to fulfill them.

NEED HELP TO MOVE ABROAD?

Leaving your country, family and friends can be very scary. On top of that, there's a lot of uncertainty. "What am I going to do when I get there? Can I afford it? How can I find a job? What visa do I need?" Those were some of the questions I asked myself when I left my country. Now 8 years, 2 countries later and after many interviews with people who've done it, I can help you do the same.
