Mon exp\u00e9rience au Canada<\/span><\/h1>\n

Je suis rest\u00e9 pendant dix mois au Canada. Je vivais \u00e0 Bracebridge, un petit village situ\u00e9 \u00e0 environ 2 h 30 de route de Toronto. Ma famille d’accueil se composait d’un couple de parents et de leurs trois enfants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Avant de partir au Canada, j’avais tr\u00e8s h\u00e2te de d\u00e9couvrir de nouvelles personnes, de cr\u00e9er de nouveaux liens et de m’immerger dans une culture et un mode de vie qui n’\u00e9taient pas les miens. Cependant, j’\u00e9tais assez stress\u00e9 par la barri\u00e8re de la langue. J’avais peur de ne pas pouvoir m’exprimer et de ne pas comprendre les gens. En effet, au d\u00e9but, cela a \u00e9t\u00e9 un peu difficile de parler anglais toute la journ\u00e9e sans pause, mais c’est un d\u00e9fi qui vaut vraiment l’effort. Mon anglais s’est assez vite am\u00e9lior\u00e9, et c’est \u00e0 partir de ce moment-l\u00e0 que l’on arrive r\u00e9ellement \u00e0 cr\u00e9er des liens avec les personnes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pour l’\u00e9cole, je conseillerais plut\u00f4t de choisir des cours qui vous plaisent vraiment, puisque ce seront les m\u00eames pendant six mois, tous les jours. Pour ma part, j’avais choisi deux cours \u00ab loisirs \u00bb et deux cours un peu plus s\u00e9rieux. \u00c0 notre arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 l’\u00e9cole, nous sommes consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme des \u00e9l\u00e8ves de Grade 11, mais je sugg\u00e8re, pour les mati\u00e8res plus difficiles, de les suivre au niveau universitaire de Grade 12. Le niveau scolaire est inf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 celui de la Suisse, ce qui permettrait d’avoir moins de mati\u00e8res \u00e0 rattraper au retour.<\/span><\/p>\n

L’\u00e9cole n’est pas seulement un lieu o\u00f9 l’on \u00e9tudie, c’est aussi un endroit o\u00f9 l’on rencontre de nouvelles personnes. Pour ma part, c’est \u00e0 l’\u00e9cole que j’ai vraiment pu rencontrer des gens et me rapprocher d’eux. J’avais peur, au d\u00e9but, de me sentir seul, car je ne connaissais personne, mais j’ai vite d\u00e9couvert que les Canadiens sont des personnes extr\u00eamement amicales et bienveillantes. Ils viennent facilement vers toi et sont toujours l\u00e0 si tu as besoin d’aide.<\/span><\/p>\n

Je recommande aussi de se rapprocher des autres \u00e9tudiants d’\u00e9change. Ces amiti\u00e9s sont les plus faciles \u00e0 construire, car ils traversent la m\u00eame situation que toi : nouvelle langue, nouvelle famille, nouvelle \u00e9cole\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Les clubs apr\u00e8s les cours sont \u00e9galement un tr\u00e8s bon moyen de rencontrer des gens. En partageant un loisir, on se rapproche plus facilement. Au Canada, il y a beaucoup de choix d’activit\u00e9s et chacun trouvera s\u00fbrement celle qui lui correspond. Cependant, les clubs de sport fonctionnent souvent par saison et ne durent pas toute l’ann\u00e9e. Je conseillerais donc de participer \u00e0 plusieurs clubs au cours de l’ann\u00e9e afin d’avoir une activit\u00e9 en dehors des cours tout au long du s\u00e9jour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Concernant la famille d’accueil, personnellement, j’ai eu beaucoup de chance, car j’ai construit un v\u00e9ritable lien avec eux. Ils aimaient faire des activit\u00e9s et voyager, ce qui m’a permis de partager de tr\u00e8s bons moments avec eux. Je sais que, pour d’autres, la relation avec la famille a \u00e9t\u00e9 plus compliqu\u00e9e. J’encourage donc les \u00e9l\u00e8ves qui sentent que quelque chose ne va pas ou qui se sentent simplement mal \u00e0 l’aise \u00e0 ne pas oublier qu’il est tout \u00e0 fait possible de changer de famille d’accueil et que cette d\u00e9marche est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement assez rapide. La famille repr\u00e9sente une grande partie de l’\u00e9change et d\u00e9termine vraiment la qualit\u00e9 du temps pass\u00e9 l\u00e0-bas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Concernant mon placement \u00e0 Bracebridge, j’\u00e9tais, au d\u00e9but, d\u00e9\u00e7u d’\u00eatre dans un petit village assez \u00e9loign\u00e9 de Toronto, sans aucun transport en commun. Finalement, j’ai vraiment appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 d’avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 plac\u00e9 l\u00e0-bas. J’\u00e9tais dans une petite \u00e9cole, ce qui m’a permis de conna\u00eetre tout le monde, et inversement.<\/span><\/p>\n

J’ai pass\u00e9 une excellente ann\u00e9e. Je pense que cette opportunit\u00e9 est une chance incroyable qui nous est offerte.<\/span><\/p>\n
