But with my parents sat beside me I couldn't help but pretend to be strong. Little did I know that I would not have to pretend for long. My very first 24 hours in Bradford was filled with meeting new Canadians, flat viewings and seeing all the best spots that the city had to offer!
Read MoreI chose Aurelia because, compared to other recruitment agencies, it seemed more personal and approachable. Turns out, my initial impression was correct. From the get go, Julie and Lauren have been quick to offer advice, answer questions, and to take an interest in my life. They took the time to get to know me as a person and even matched me with a flat mate, another teacher, who they knew to have similar interests.

Read MoreThe first time I heard Julie’s voice on the phone, I knew I was in safe hands. I completed my undergraduate degree at Western University and then when on to get my teaching degree.My first teaching position was at a small one form entry school just outside of Bradford city centre. Unfortunately, around November the school realized that they did not have the facilities to support me as an NQT (Newly Qualified Teacher).
