Born in Tanzania, Shala Chandani lived in France and the United States before settling with her immediate family in Canada. She says, “My dad’s sister lived in North Vancouver and talked about how great Canada was — good opportunities, safe, good climate, a warm community. My mom’s parents and siblings all lived in Edmonton. They also encouraged my parents to move to Canada.”
It was a message from the Aga Khan, however, that solidified her family’s decision: “He said [Canada] was a good country in which to settle down, create roots, get a great education, work hard and prosper, so my dad and mom eventually sold their business in Denver, Colorado, and moved to B.C.”
Chandani, now a change management expert at the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia ICBC, says that trying to learn a new language and culture while simultaneously “hanging on” to her family’s cultural traditions and heritage was a distinct challenge of immigration.
