Amanda Franzoni is a New Jersey transplant to the Pacific Northwest who has been traveling to British Columbia for the past 30 years. In 2018, Amanda happened to fall in love and marry someone with dual Canadian/American citizenship, which made her journey to Canadian residency somewhat more straightforward than some other potential pathways. Hundreds of hours of research and hundreds of supporting documents later, she recently became a permanent resident of Canada and lives in BC part time. Amanda’s in-laws all live in Canada, welcoming her warmly and introducing her to the joys of Tim Horton’s, Canadian Tire, and curling.

Why relocate to Canada? The rumor that people in Canada are generally very polite is true. In fact, a Canadian friend said that children are explicitly taught to be respectful in elementary school. This manifests itself in tolerance, patience, and never hesitating to say “Sorry”. It’s very refreshing! In addition, Canadians are generally accepting of other cultures and lifestyles, and their cities are very vibrant and diverse. Plus, if you’re a nature lover, there are millions of acres of unspoiled land, fresh air, and abundant water.

During your consultation, Amanda will discuss your unique situation, your relocation timeline, and your short and long term goals to find the emigration pathway and location in Canada that best suit your needs. As someone who explored a variety of avenues for immigration and has gained permanent residency without the help of an attorney, Amanda can help you navigate the array of potential routes for both temporary and permanent residency in Canada as well as advice and referrals regarding climate, lifestyle, and navigating Canadian bureaucracy, housing, taxes, and other aspects of your relocation needs.
