Document Summary
Cultural shock is a feeling that occurs when someone migrates to a foreign country. An immigrant in a new culture is like a fish out of water. The immigrants start feeling anxiety and frustration due to different languages, new cultures, and strange people. I consider myself a fortunate immigrant, because i did not have to go through the cultural shock. The main reason for not becoming a victim of cultural shock was the support of my husband who welcomed me in toronto. The second reason was that i started studying at seneca college soon after my arrival. Seneca college became my first platform of interacting with people. I am enrolled in office administration medical (mes) since may 2013, and currently, i am in second semester. More than 7,000 students with several cultures, multiple languages, and different religions, all of this was strange to me.
