Young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina are rush out "over the pond", there they are waiting for work and citizenship

The news is that they can go to Canada and in two years they finish schooling and get papers, she echoed among the young people as a bomb, and many already packed suitcases, writes "Blic".

Finally, they say, they know what they will do with their diplomas - they will use them in Canada.

Vancouver has been at the top of the list of the best places to live in the world for the fifth year in a row, while Banja Luka, many acknowledge, is far from that list.
Agencies that implement this program offer people, regardless of age, education and the possibility of legal stay in Canada, because this country has been opening borders for new immigrants for the past 5 years who have to pass through their education system.

This opportunity has opened since the beginning of the year also to Banja Luka citizens, but also to citizens of whole BiH, and many say that the remote Canada does not seem to be that far.

- The more I am waiting for the job, that Canada looks closer to me. I was thinking about the future and the reasons that kept me here and realized that there are not many of them. Canada sounds much better than America and Europe, so I decided to try, "said Milan Simic, who in Canada is wearing an unsuccessful diploma of philosophy professor.

That in this country in recent years, babies have already been packed with suitcases, Bozana S. agrees, who was already in America, worked for four months, then returned to Banja Luka and regretted that she was not there and remained.

- I will use the opportunity to go to school in Canada because I have nothing to look for here. It is important for me not to leave as a cheap labor force, but someone who will be educated and become a legal citizen of the state - she says.

Although the years are not a condition for leaving, one Banja Luka agency, offering this program, told us that young people are the most frequent applicants so far.

- Although we have started this program since this year, so far we have a large number of interested people, primarily because I have a base of young people who have been on other programs. So most were applied by people who had already traveled to America or somewhere else and felt like living outside. These are mostly young people who have completed college and can not find work here - explains Silvana Vasic, from a Banja Luka agency.

This river of young people flowing from the borders of BiH runs even faster and begins to flow in one more direction, graphically describes sociologist Dragana Aleksic.

- Of course people go where they will be appreciated. Here, young people will not be left here, this city and this country will become a city of elderly people and people with no ambitions, while our smart young people will be somewhere far away and do what they like and to be paid for, "Aleksic commented.
