For this special episode, I’m LIVE on the ground at Toronto’s ‘Newcomer Day’ that took place on May 23. Armed with my portable microphone, I wore a t-shirt emblazoned with the words “TALK TO ME: Share your immigration story on the New to Canada podcast” and I was excited to connect with 11 internationals:
- Sophie from Ireland
- Johnny from Lebanon
- Samantha from Malaysia + Australia
- Joseph from Nigeria
- Olha from Ukraine
- Andrey from Israel
- Leah from Kenya
- Zahid from Pakistan
- Wafaa from France + Morocco
- Enrique from Venezuela
- Julia from Ukraine
In this episode, you can hear a few minutes from each guest as they share when they made the big move (ranging from 6 months to 20 years!), the struggles they faced, the wins they’re proud of, and their best piece of advice for other newcomers arriving in Canada today.
