Hey there, fellow South Africans! I’m Callie, and I’m so thrilled to have you join us on this exciting adventure. As a fellow South African who’s made the big leap to beautiful Vancouver, I know firsthand the challenges and rewards of starting a new life in this amazing city.
Our goal here at South Africans in Vancouver is to make your transition as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We’re all about embracing the Canadian lifestyle while keeping our South African roots alive and kicking!
Think of us as your friendly, reliable, and fun-loving source of support and advice for everything you need to know about settling in Vancouver. From visas to vino, healthcare to hockey, we’ve got you covered.
On this site, you’ll find a wealth of resources, meet other South Africans who are also making Vancouver their home, and discover the best ways to get involved in the local community. We’re here to help you every step of the way as you navigate the ins and outs of your new life in Canada.
So grab a cup of rooibos tea, put your feet up, and let’s explore all that Vancouver has to offer together. Welcome to your new home away from home – we can’t wait to share this journey with you!
Warmest regards,
Callie Van Graan
