From Arrival to Belonging: The Canadian Immigrant Journey
Description
ποΈ Welcome to ESL Talk! ποΈ
A podcast for English Teachers, by English Teachers.
In this episode, we sit down with John Edward McGraw β Multicultural Workplace Expert, Inclusive Communication Specialist, and founder of Hiyaku (Hee-YA-koo) Coaching, to explore the subtle yet powerful aspects of Canadian culture that often trip up newcomers and even long-term immigrants. Drawing from his SHAPE framework and 15 years of cross-cultural experience in Japan and Canada, John shares insights on how culture invisibly shapes our perceptions, interactions, and sense of belonging. Whether you're new to Canada or a lifelong citizen, this conversation will help you better understand the cultural dynamics at play and how to foster more inclusive communities and workplaces.
