In this episode of Students of Aging, hosts Queenie and Maria delve into the rich and varied experiences of aging as immigrants in Canada. They share their own personal journeys, arriving from India and Hong Kong in the early 1970s, and discuss the unique challenges and triumphs faced by seniors who built their lives in a new country.

Queenie and Maria recount their initial culture shock, the financial struggles of starting anew, and the importance of community and friendship in navigating a foreign land. They also highlight the incredible success stories of immigrants who have contributed to Canada's vibrant multicultural mosaic. From career achievements to travel adventures, this episode celebrates the resilience and adaptability of immigrant seniors.

Join us as we explore the diverse perspectives and stories that make up the Canadian experience, and discover how these individuals have redefined what it means to age gracefully and purposefully.
