× Yes, one of my biggest and uh, real dream is to come come on abroad for studies and that dream come true.
✓ Yes, one of my biggest and real dreams was to go abroad for my studies, and that dream came true.
The phrase 'one of my biggest ... dream' needs plural 'dreams' because 'one of' refers to an item in a group. 'Come on abroad' is incorrect collocation; use 'go abroad'. Tense should be past 'was' and 'came true' because the speaker says it already happened. Also add 'my' before studies for clarity.
× Now I came to Canada and completed my course.
✓ I came to Canada and completed my course.
Using 'now' with simple past 'came' is awkward; remove 'now' or use present perfect 'I have come to Canada'. The sentence correctly uses past tense for completed action; simplification removes the tense mismatch.
× I prefer to share my dreams with others especially to my parents because when I had a good dream I shared with my parents that makes me so happy and they also motivate to achieve my dreams.
✓ I prefer to share my dreams with others, especially with my parents, because when I have a good dream I share it with them; that makes me very happy, and they also motivate me to achieve my dreams.
Use 'with' rather than 'to' after 'share'. Maintain present tense 'have' if this is a habitual action. 'Shared with my parents' should use object pronoun 'it' for the dream. 'Motivate to achieve' needs object 'me'. Also improve punctuation for clarity.
× Umm majority of the people dream about the wishes they had in their life and they work hard for achieve their dream so which make the life very meaningful.
✓ The majority of people dream about the wishes they have in their lives, and they work hard to achieve their dreams, which makes life very meaningful.
Add definite article 'the' before 'majority'. 'People' does not need 'the' necessarily but 'the majority of people' is natural. Use present tense 'have' for general truth, plural 'lives' to match 'people', and plural 'dreams'. Use 'to achieve' infinitive and 'which makes' (singular) because 'which' refers to the whole clause. Remove unnecessary words.
× Guess I really want to make my dreams come true, because I'm not.
✓ I really want to make my dreams come true, because I haven't yet.
'Guess' is filler and can be omitted. The clause 'because I'm not' is incomplete and unclear; replace with 'because I haven't yet' or 'because they haven't come true yet' to complete the meaning. Ensure tense matches desire for future achievement.
