      The Feinstra family from Canada summed up their two-year stay in the Nizhny Novgorod region, noting that the move to Russia had become an important and blessed stage of their lives.

      According to the family's Telegram channel, the head of the family, Arend Feinstra, said that the decision to move to Russia was made two years ago when they arrived in Moscow to begin a new chapter of their life.

      "Two years ago we landed in Moscow to start a new life in Russia. Looking back, we can say that over these two years we have been so warmly welcomed, we have achieved a lot and received so many blessings. It was 100% the right decision for our family, and we look forward to continuing this wonderful journey we have begun," the post says.

      The Canadians expressed particular gratitude for the support they received while living in Russia, and emphasized that they feel truly at home here.

      The family also thanked God for His guidance and answered prayers, wishing those around them goodness and well-being.

      "May He generously bless all of you in 2026," the resettlers wrote in closing their message.

      In December 2025 it was reported that the Feinstra family had gone on vacation from the Nizhny Novgorod region to Canada. The Feinstra household is currently being looked after by a family from Australia.

      It should be noted that the Feinstra family does not plan to leave Russia.
