April 2008 - The Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson came to Canada as a refugee in the 1940?s. "This book is not just information, it is a friend, a guide, and a support. Use it and you'll find that you?ll know more, and be able to do things with confidence."

Oxford University Press announces the publication of Arrival Survival Canada: A Handbook for New Immigrants, as part of its Canadian Newcomer Series.

With 30 real-life immigrant experiences and success stories, Arrival Survival Canada is more than a -how to- book. Arrival Survival Canada prepares new immigrants for their Canadian experience from what to pack before emigrating to opening a bank account, from creating a credit history to understanding Canadian school systems.

Arrival Survival Canada is based on the experiences of the husband and wife team of Naeem 'Nick' and Sabrina Noorani, founder/ publisher of Canadian Immigrant Magazine. Noorani says there was nothing like this available to him when he moved with his family from Dubai in 1998. "It was a difficult transition."
