About this listen

Host Ramone and guest Sammy discuss their family’s immigration journey from the Soviet Union (now Russia) to Canada. Sammy shares that their family lived in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) before immigrating in 1979, undergoing a long and challenging process that included stops in Vienna and Italy before arriving in Canada as landed immigrants. They reflect on the difficulties of leaving behind loved ones, adjusting to a new culture, and learning English. Sammy found work as a civil engineer in Calgary, while his wife, formerly a teacher, transitioned into accounting. They also discuss how their traditions, particularly home cooking, have remained an important part of their lives in Canada.
