Articles on Canadian Newcomer and Canadian Immigrant Magazines

Last Updated On: December 26, 2011

My article about the CIRRO project (Community Immigrant Retention in Rural Ontario) is now published on the Canadian Newcomer website. The article is also available in printed and the French version of the magazine. Click here to read the article.

Canadian Newcomer is a valuable source of information for newcomers to Canada. It is published 6 issues a year. This is my first article on the magazine.

I also write for the Canadian Immigrant magazine. My column on that magazine is titled “Do-It-Yourself”. It explains – in a funny way – how to deal with the chores around your home and how to fix things. Canadian Immigrant is a subdivision of Toronto Star. They currently distribute 82000 copies of the magazine mainly in Toronto and Vancouver areas.
