About the author:
Author Naeem
“Nick” Noorani and his wife Sabrina bring a first-hand
account of what life is like after emigrating to Canada. The Nooranis and their
children immigrated to Canada from India via Dubai in 1998. From a desire to
see the transition for other newcomers, they founded the Canadian
Immigrant magazine, a monthly publication for immigrants. Nick, with a
weekly “Ask Nick” segment on CBC’s Radio Canada International,
has become a leading voice for the immigrant community, has won numerous awards
and recognitions, and is on the boards of several newcomer agencies. |
