Author Information

"The authors, Naeem ""Nick"" and Sabrina Noorani, immigrated to Canada from India via Dubai in 1998. Once here, they were bombarded with questions about Canada from friends and family. This led them to publish The Canadian Immigrant magazine, which has become the go-to resource for immigrants. The magazine spun into a segment on The Link, a weekly radio show on CBC's Radio Canada International, where Nick answers questions from people who want to learn more about immigrating to and living in Canada. Nick is a leading voice for the immigrant community, has won numerous awards and recognitions, and is on the boards of several newcomer agencies"
