Your kid needs help here. You need to be a good support to him or her at this moment. Once you have moved to Canada from an underdeveloped country, your child needs to learn a lot to stay abreast with his or her age fellows. He or she needs to be as good as the local kids in school. A school is a place which may build the confidence of a kid and it may break it. Do not let it happen to your kid. It is not the changed schooling systems or the people who are confusing your kid. It is simply the change that your child fears. Accepting a huge change as moving to an altogether different part of the world may be tough for the elders as well. The kids are the most vulnerable in this regard. Be good to them and help them find their confidence back.
The way to go about this problem is that you need to understand the changed schooling systems your self. If you know how a school works in Canada, you can tell your kid. This effort will release his or her tension of not knowing about how schools operate in a new, changed environment. Take help from Pakistani community already living in Canada.

It is just the anxiety which your kid may be having; help him or her to adjust with the new and changed environment.
