Transitions Abroad magazine has reviewed my book, Viver no Exterior em Portugal!

And they recommend it:

Para qualquer pessoa interessada em viver no Canadá, "Viver no Exterior em Portugal"É a well-researched and practical companion that provides all the information and resources you need to make a successful move.

Here’s a longer excerpt from the review:

Autor Carolyn Heller has accomplished what I have heard a growing number of Americans fantasize and talk about over the past decade: ela se mudou do U.S. para o Canadá. In her book “Living Abroad in Canada”–publicado por Avalon Publishing—Heller covers all the essential aspects of moving to and living in Canada.

“Living Abroad in Canada” reflects Heller’s own experiences and knowledge of this northern neighbor of the U.S., que segundo ela, "É familiar yet just a bit different.” It is often easier to describe a country and culture that is vastly different form our own, but the author succeeds in pointing out the subtle differences in culture, visões de mundo, and daily life that distinguish Canada from the rest of North America.

Ela describes in detail the differences in government and political systems, de impostos e leis trabalhistas, health insurance coverage, and educational systems. She also talks about the unique make-up of Canada’s multi-cultural society, which in addition to French-speaking Québec and the Native American “First Nations,” includes large immigrant communities from India, China, e em outros países.

To dispel any misinformation about Canadian immigration lei imediatamente, Heller points out in the book’s introduction that Americans can stay in Canada as a visitor for up to six months, but that they still need a work or residency permit to legally reside in Canada.
