Grant and his family moved to British Columbia, and it wasn't easy.

from South African Ex-Pats · host Jonathan Warncke

Grant Norman was kind enough to join me to chat about his family's emigration to a suburb just outside Vancouver.  Grant and his wife got into Canada via the Express Entry visa, although it was a few years ago.  Grant's journey was not necessarily smooth, though, and the high cost of living in Canada has certainly not made things easier.  One person Grant wanted to recommend was Deanne Acres Lans, who helped him with his visa process. You can find Deanne here: https://canadaabroad.com You can support this show by supporting ⁠Luggage Warehouse⁠, the business my father started in the 80s, and my brother currently helms.
