Leaving Canada and then returning. From Argentina to Canada
A journey of love, disillusionment and unexpected return.Hello everyone! Today I bring you the story of Florencia, a young Argentinean woman who decided to pursue her dreams in the vibrant city of Montreal. What started as an adventure full of expectations, soon turned into an unexpected challenge to find her love, Ramiro, and make a new life in Canada.
I hope this story motivates you,
With love,
Immiland
a week ago something happened
wonderful a week ago I became
Canadian lawyer and today I want to
to tell you everything that I went through during these
years to reach this point
walk on that platform that you
just saw there was a situation that
took me many years of effort and I was going to
so I will tell you some of the things that
I had to live or go through to get there
something I want to tell you that has me very
happy is that for the last 6 years I have
always when I present my videos I
I present as an immigration consultant
and I tell them that because my work
help you get to Canada
but that greeting is over as of today.
the greeting is going to be that I am Eddie Ramirez
Canadian immigration lawyer and this
is going to involve too many things for
imiland many new services are going to
reach many legal services
immigration and other important areas
for you immigrants we are going to
offer them in
imiland and for me it fills me with too much
We are proud to be able to show you the
growth and what has evolved in
canad K these last 8 years in the
that the process of validating my
studies in Canada began were not
and today I want to tell you about the
history because I know that many of
you are in your countries thinking
like I'm going to Canada but the process
is going to be very long either because you
are physicians or professionals in the field of
health or lawyers or works in areas in
Canada that are regulated or you
dream of pursuing a career as a professional
in Canada When you dream of practicing your
career in Canada you need to know that
one may come to Canada to do the following
the same once but there are professionals
that is a little more complicated for them
as I did when I traveled to Canada a few years ago.
10 years I just graduated from
lawyer and I loved being a lawyer, but I was
when I came to Canada it was like the
title me yes I was there lawyer I am
wherever I go, I am always a lawyer.
lawyer but she was not a lawyer in Canada in
Canada I have a master's degree in law from
business immigration law I did
master's degree in law such as the Canadian and
by pursuing my master's degree in law from
business I was able to say work in
some things of private law of
business in Canada as
negotiation mediation between parties that
were, let's say, in conflict for
business situations but could not
as a lawyer could not have the right to have the
Canadian law degree and therefore
I said I'm going to do it I'm going to do it I'm going to do it
whatever it costs me and I'm going to what I
whatever I have to do I will do it
because my goal was that obviously between
that moment when I decided that and the
goal that I achieved it Well, a lot of things happened
things because while one arrives at
that goal one has to live
experiences growing up working and so
while I reached my goal I built others
things around so I'm going to focus
it is in this goal that I became a lawyer.
in Canada there is something very
tortured And the fact is that, unlike our
countries when one say in Venezuela
one graduates as a doctor or lawyer one
can be exercised automatically, i.e. the
diploma gives you the ability to
provided that it complies with the following requirements
items that the university asks you for
can also be exercised in the same way as in
Colombia I believe in many countries
latin america happens that you tell me
if it is a different country I don't know but in
Canada has something very interesting going on and it is
that when the race is regulated by
example doctors lawyers Even if you are
graduate college Although you
obtains a diploma from the University of
your career that diploma is worthless
to practice the career if you do not pass
the body that regulates it, which in this case
is called La Barra de Abogados every
province in Canada has a
Different lawyers then when one
wants to pass the Bar has
to comply with the requirements of the
The bar requests that are usually two
exams and a practical
professional you can't imagine how
I suffered to study for those
exams each bar exam
professional bar exam is an examination on the
that I took that is in Ontario every
exam is 100 sheets
eh They are extremely heavy tests
in which many areas are evaluated
barrister solicitor every say
book has different chapters for each chapter.
example solicitor has eh area in
business family inheritance ethics and Real
Estate Real Estate is eh right
and then the other, which is the
barrister evaluates the person in terms of the
to areas such as civil law eh law
criminal eh public law and ethics are
and all that one can think of.
studied throughout his law school career.
re-evaluated in these exams each year.
exam eh constitutes a 4
hours and a half with 160 questions each
question one is exactly 1.30
seconds to answer it and this implies
read the statement which is this big
Search is multiple Choice or options
multiple times when one reads the statement goes and
Read the four answers that are each
two-three line response and all the
answers in most cases are
correct for example in ethics all are
But there is one that is more
correct than the other and when one reads
these questions should be viewed in
statement understand what you are talking about
of which area let's say civil law
Okay is talking about such a civilian point
I have to go to the law material
and Locate the part where it is
because the exam is open book but
you can imagine getting questions
in 1,000s of sheets in 1.30 seconds and
have time to read the statement see
the answers and search for the answer
is purely practical when it comes to
I started studying I remember that I
I began to study normal as a result of
read my guides and my material and I took out the
had to read daily if
were 100 sheets of paper they had to read my plan
was to read all the material in one month.
that my plan was to kind of read to me a day
between 30 and 50 leaflets and then give
as a general review of everything that had to be
underline because it speaks of many times
days and well there I read the whole of the
material and then I started to make
The key to all of this is the practical exams.
success when you are attempting a
examination in Canada or in another country is that
you focus on the technique in order to be able to
pass the exam no matter how much
you feel that you know if you do not
understand the special technique for passing
the exam will most likely not go
to pass it on At that time I began to
I took my practical exams and got 65
and I said Well, you're already overdoing it with 50%.
and I was relaxed and then I said
Well I've been reading some blogs
and there in those blogs I remember there were
a person who was saying that I Les
I recommend you to have a tutor
a tutor to teach them the
practice Do not teach them How to study
In other words, the theoretical part is not important but
to teach them how to prepare for the
exam as such So I am looking for a tutor
I sent an email and he answered me and I paid him
your working hours we start with the
the practical part and I got the practical part and I got the practical part and I got the practical part and I got the practical part and I got the practical
I remember the day I met her jida
he says to me I arrived relaxed like I didn't
I get 65 on the exams she tells me
Like Okay and I'm ready to go
and it tells me edy to pass the test of the
bar you have to get in practice 95
and I tell him like that already, but how if
it goes over 50 and tells me no it doesn't go over
with 50 if you get 50 you will scrape the
you have to look for in your practices.
exams 95 per. look, that's when it started.
my karma that I remember that was in the
month of November I passed the exams your
the first in February and the next in
March and I remember that in November
began my torture I mean I every time that
I had a class with her and I would go into
panic before the call I remember
I would cry and I would say Nicolas, I can't
call because I know that what I am
this week will not work because it will not
I was reaching 95 and I was practicing
exam and locked at 70 locked at 75 me
before the practic exam I cried
during the practice exam cried during
the call with her cried because
obviously the call was going badly and she
She kept telling me calmly, "Keep practicing
Keep practicing Keep studying
self-evaluate yourself, I remember that in that
moment was when I said No I have
What's going on, i.e. I have to understand What's going on, i.e. I have to
understand why I am going out so badly
of these exams and then I realized
that my problem was more than anything else first
in which he kind of read the answers and
I was leaving all at once as for what I
I thought it was because I thought that
was that answer not every answer
had to sort of corroborate the with the
original material from which the
answer then Aha like Okay no
I can like to go crazy but I have
to corroborate the answer and second
which is my ethical Achilles heel.
as I told you the ethics answers
are all in most cases all
are true But there is one more
true than the other all are
and it turns out that the test
what I was doing let's say that I am
Talking about family law made
family-focused ethics questions
cces everything was like Okay Let's say that
there were 30 family questions such as
such family law but there were 15
ethics questions scrambled with family
Ah well, in the 15 questions I had
nothing more than five right and 10 wrong is the highest
part of my percentage where I did
fail the exam was the practice exam was
because I was doing very poorly in ethics.
when I self-assessed myself I said No me
I have to understand this well.
I paid for another course in pure ethics and there I did
as it was a course with a tutor that was
explained in a video all about
ethics to understand how the ethics of
bar works How does one have to
is what you have to evaluate and
understanding of the customers when I managed to
As these elements were
I managed to get up to 85 then I went from
65 to 85 but I am still short by 10%.
anyways I kept on studying
studying for the two exams and here
is the important thing I decided to take both
exams at the same time because I already
there was very little time left to pass it on
I couldn't wait any longer if I was
it took more months to pass the exams
I was not going to be able to do it because my
deadline, i.e. my time limit was
30
of April to take all the
exams and already pass all the
components, that is to say, I was like
because I Why I didn't take the exams
before good because on this path of
to get to the exam I decided to create
expand and Milan That is to say, expand and
mila took up all the time of my life
apart of course I had two children.
that having two children is not easy
you know I made a failed attempt
in which I failed to do it I realized
that it was impossible to do so, so
I resigned and at the end of the day I said how
that it is now or never and at the same time
as long as it is for the two exams I
I also did my internship at
I got a job at the
province of Ontario and worked although
you did not realize and did not know
I worked 5 months full time eye
normally the person has to
work for 9 months to be able to do the
professional practice but I worked
only 5 months because the Ontario
accepted my experience as an immigration
consultant and took me out of those 9 months.
removed four and told me Well I worked
five So I got a company
an immigration law firm in
Toronto that allowed me to make the
I worked with them for five months
for this online firm I learned too much
but it was very heavy, that is, I had
was employed by a company at the same
time the two exams by studying as
a madwoman and on top of that and Milan that even though my
team as I thank you for my team

everything so that I would not have to
therefore feel the obligation to be
there were times when I had to
immiland decision making had the same
what to make content for social networks
YouTube Instagram and it was a crazy thing
because I was saying how am I going to be able to
everything here is obviously family support
family to look for my mom came with
my cousin who is like my sister and
stayed in my house for 3 months and
took care of the entire look and feel of the house.
eh I was with the children in the evenings
to put them to sleep for the rest of the day
I was stuck studying and working and
were months too difficult on the day
of the exam the first exam I arrived at the
exam and this I told on instagram and and.
when the exam started I remember
well I got to the exam I went to otagua
I arrived early for the exam that day I had
for the last three weeks before the
test or two weeks I have had as a
fever appointment and was aimed at
antibiotics But the day before the
examination of my body with the
stress pum went to the floor.
the night before the fir got me to 40
I didn't sleep, I got to the exam, I got into a
antibiotic and two taen so he was
all drugged up and I remember that
I was with Nicolás at the hotel and I sat down with
on top of the food to cry snotty tears
because I said Nico, I'm going to let him go
to scrape I can't be with the head
as I have it at the time before the
test that was the morning of the test and
Nicolás obviously with his support with his
honey I don't know what we got to the exam he
he left me at the door I entered the examination
and well there as the adrenaline
kicking as it was like a Shot of
Adrenaline like poof and started the exam and
I remember something crazy happened on
test started was 4 and a half hours
when the exam started I went into a
state of like a slip of the tongue that is me
I don't know what happened.
dotted test underline the test is
the information but what about this test
what happened was that I felt that I handled
the exam I mean, I felt that they had
questions Obviously, I kind of don't
I'm not sure but I feel it's this one
but others all like that t I know that
here is the answer because I am
knew that barrister's book above
down I left the exam and I got sick
three days and here was the problem for the
next exam because between exams and
test there are 10 days those 10 days are the
that one uses to launch the latest
review with the same solicitousness as the following
examining who is the monster many people
I am very afraid of that exam and I am
I got sick three days after that test
I remember it was a Tuesday Wednesday
Thursday and Friday I was in bed lying down.
with fever a migraine that I couldn't move
my head, that is to say that my brain is
inflamed to the point that it could no longer three
days without even being able to see the light
because my eyes were hurting and I began to
study again on saturday on saturday
I resumed the requesting exam and began to
and there I went the exam arrives on the
examination of
and at the time of my examination
the first question I see from bus
business Law was like company x
issued 50 shares and 35 shares of this type to
type b and gave the other one as much as he gave him.
corresponds to the shareholder and cigars
numbers and I am a most holy virgin, that is to say this
What is was a lot of mathematical things
And I obviously did not study mathematics
for the exam and then Well nothing there
I started with logic and I remember that the
tutor told me on the last day of
classes told me Okay now I'm going to
say something has the test and this is very
important if in the exam you
eh
let's say Remember that you have 1.30
seconds for each question if you are
you are stuck with a question that does not
you know more than 1.30 seconds you are getting
eating time the following question
that you might know that you know that if you
you see that you're stagnating AND you're leaving
to eat more seconds of the time
you need to jump here guess on that
case you do have to guess and I as
that Okay told me because when you
guess the riddle is going to come from the
knowledge is going to be a guessing game
based on knowledge and not as Tim
marindo pingüé but it is going to be
literally like I feel like it's
This is because in my head some part of
my logic tells me it's this one and well
this is how my Solicito exam went with all of them
these questions are also asked, for example, in
family law I remember it was
such as
Maria and Peter are getting divorced Maria
has so many assets so many liabilities
so much has gifts that the uncle gave him
before marriage the gift I don't know what
how much each person is entitled to
mathematics and I Oh my God it went like this.
that I remember that many of them make my
calculations because they deliver to a
calculator and it gave me the number and
I grabbed once others did not give me so
I was going for the one I thought
that it was and then there were questions that
not attic but they were questions already more
deep logic was as follows, i.e.
as that the applicant's examination as that
it was not as much the barist in which there was no
everything that was in the guide but
there was a lot of logic and that when s the
examination i cried like a baby i cry a lot
I am very tearful, but I cried in that exam.
my whole life I remember that from otagua
in the first one I didn't cry I was like
frustrated as well as nervous but I didn't cry in
the second between Montreal and otagua me
I cried and could not stop I arrived at home
was my mom was a was angi la
office is in the house waiting for me to
congratulate me I was in the house
demoralized was a friend of mine
I arrived with my eyes like this I could not speak
I locked myself in my room to cry and
three days in a row I had a depression
post test worse than depression
postpartum
eh And then those because I was in my
I was sure that I had scraped off the requestor's
and my sadness and moral sorrow was that if
I did not pass those exams both in
I was not going to be able to do it at that time
because my time had already passed.
finished although one always has 3
years I left everything to the last minute, no
you do that and my moral penalty was
like my God or I'm all this and I'm all this and
I gave it up for the moment and I can't.
try again that my sadness in
the soul that I couldn't try to do it from
now the craziest thing is that I had
I had to keep working because I was missing
still a month of practice and although my
subconsciously I felt that I had
I had to keep working
because in the event that there was no scrape
same I had to finish the practice
professional then well I followed
working one month after the exam and
then came the day normally 8o
Weeks to see the results
it took me exactly eh between the
day I took the exams the last day
exam and the day I received the three
bar post office took me exactly I think
that was about three weeks.
I remember I was at home working
I went to my email and when I got to my email
When I see that it says Law society of
Ontario you got an email and me Ay Dios
I called Nicolas and I said to Nicolas
as I believe that the
results come to my house
three emails arrived Then came one more
There were four of them and I kind of don't know what it's like.
one that scraped and the next one like or like or like
like that and my mind had scraped it off.
I called Nicolás Nicolás traveled to the went to
the house took a long time to arrive at the house
about 25 minutes I wanted to kill him
because the c was too much and nothing arrived and
the exams and here the

it was as if I did not see myself in that mirror
dressed like this, I see myself as the time and
the effort that led me to arrive in that
and I want to get to the point of
tell you guys like look I was able to
at any time during these 8 years
to resign because in order to be able to reach
where I told them this whole story
these last few months of my life to
to get to that point, I had to
I learned English I learned French I had to
I was accepted for a master's degree and applied to two
master's degrees magil University of Montreal
magil told me that there were no quotas.
University of Montreal accepted me for
making my first llm in business Law
then I had to make a second llm in
canadian common law two have already left
I then had to do my master's degrees
equivalencies with nca National
committee on accreditation so that
they will evaluate my studies there they
I was asked to do four more tests and
of which four are
I was able to complete them in my
second llm the other four exams
I was able to make them directly with them
at first I was told that it was not worth
nothing me dijer no sum no sirve Póngase a
studying new law in Canada I had to
appeal was a huge process after
that eh I had the four exams so
I was accepted to the bar.
and then at the bar because I had to study
the two tests you have just been told about
and make the articlin this that I just
say in normal time it can take
approximately four years in
I was born I took eight because Bueno
pandemic also happened in the middle and
it was a mess but it's 4 8 2 3 5 years
10 years as long as it takes you to know that
not going to be easy know that it is going to be a
longest process know that I dreamed of
with being one but I knew I could
make the Board eh of my choices in
2024 could make the thoughts

I used to do all the rituals that existed

but I could do anything that
I would have been on the internet so that my mind
But if I didn't activate myself and
I was never going to make it, I was never going to make it.
I want to tell you is to look at
try it if you want to open a
business study work whatever it is that
you want to do, do it, but try it.
try it with all you've got
inside you I remember that I
for the two exams that I took myself
I was telling Nicolas if I scrape it he wants to
say that this is not my future because I
I can't give more I mean I enter from me I
said if I don't pass these exams
Simply because I am not
good enough to be a lawyer
because I edie Ramirez can not give neither
one more drop of me to achieve this
because I've just given so much and everything
that I've kind of run out, that is, I no longer
I have nothing more within me to give is
as it is a Im a a cup of water will
emptied I no longer had a drop left I already
give all of me become you as well give it to me
give all of yourselves because sometimes
when one says if I had perhaps
those exams and I was there today.
sitting here telling you that I scraped them off and
I was saying is that I would have
maybe I could have done more inside me
would be an even greater pity because
I was being sure that I
I could have given more and I didn't but
when you feel that you have given your all and that
it's like it's all about what's going on and what's not.
Tena to pass because if I don't succeed
is because it's really not for me but
if one is left with regrets in the
that if I had done it differently if
I would have studied more if I had left
the phone if I had left
procrastinate as much as I procrastinate if I
I would have slept less I don't want to live
my life with if there were I want to live
my life with that I did it and I tried to So
that you do the same starting today
give it all for everything in the following
months I will obviously make more videos
in which I will tell you more in detail
the whole process because I can speak
of this 10 hours straight without stopping I
I know there are many lawyers dreaming of
being a lawyer in Canada which is not a
easy process is cumbersome but it is well
possible So you tell me if
want me to make a step-by-step
master class on How to become a lawyer in
Canada because I want to make it right away
I'm actually doing it but I'm
it takes time eh And nothing so I hope that
this video will help you and thank you
