Voyageur
Founder & Author, Live in Canada
Live in Canada is created by Voyageur (pen name), a Canadian immigrant and software engineer who combines firsthand settlement experience with data-driven research.
Having navigated the complexities of immigration, settlement, and building a new life in Canada, Voyageur understood how difficult it can be to find reliable, accessible information, especially for those who do not speak English or French as their first language. Live in Canada was created to help narrow that gap by publishing practical guidance across its 17 supported languages.
With a professional background in software engineering, Voyageur combines firsthand immigration experience with a structured, data-driven approach to research, building the guides and interactive tools that power Live in Canada.
