Immigration can be a humbling experience, as Ana Canseco shares in our episode today. She reflects on her journey of moving to Canada, where despite having a law degree from Mexico, she found herself navigating unexpected challenges, from working as a telemarketer to realizing that she needed to go back to school.

This episode dives deep into the emotional and practical readiness required for immigration, emphasizing that it’s not just about paperwork but also about preparing for the reality of starting over in a new country. Ana stresses the importance of community and connection, as well as the necessity of letting go of preconceived notions about how things should be.

You will gain insights on overcoming the loneliness that often accompanies this journey and learn how to strategically approach your immigration goals, ensuring you stay informed and adaptable in the face of change.
