Want to Move to Canada? Canada is in the Spotlight after Brexit Vote and Obama’s Visit

Canada is in the limelight as the country prepares to celebrate Canada Day on July 1st. America’s northern neighbor and its young prime minister, Justin Trudeau, currently have a high profile on the world stage. During his state visit this week, President Obama praised the “extraordinary alliance” between Canada and the United States in his speech to Canada’s House of Commons on June 29th, according to NBC News.

Google Trends has reported a record number of searches for “move to Canada” in the UK since the results of the Brexit vote to leave the EU were released and in the US after Super Tuesday.

But are Americans truly prepared to live the life of a Canuck? Canadian-American author Robert Martichenko can discuss what it was like to grow up in northern Canada, and offer helpful advice for U.S. citizens who are considering crossing the world’s longest undefended border to move to Canada.
 
He can discuss these and other common questions: Does running away from a dysfunctional election enable you to qualify for refugee status? Are all Canadians obsessed with hockey? What the heck is poutine? Where are the igloos? You mean the U.S. is not the biggest country in the world?
 
Martichenko is a speaker, writer, poet and novelist. His new book, “Drift and Hum: The Great Canadian-American Novel” (www.driftandhum.com), won the Canada Book Award. “Drift and Hum” has been described by IndieReader “as satisfyingly crisp as a Canadian Maple leaf in the fall, a delightful exploration of the bonds of friendship and love, and an unforgettable epic depiction of youth’s passage into adulthood.” This debut novel tells the story of the four ”Beaver Brothers" who embark on adventure after adventure in their quest for peace of mind in the Canadian North and the American South.
 
Robert Martichenko was born in Timmins, Ontario and has lived in the U.S. for the past two decades. An entrepreneur and CEO of LeanCor Supply Chain Group, Martichenko is the author of several successful business books and a novel, “Drift and Hum.” He received the 2015 Distinguished Service Award from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) and was chosen as a 2015 C-Suite honoree by Venue & LEAD Magazine.
