“An engaging and compelling story of immigration”
In 1972, Pradeep Kharé arrived in Canada from India to complete a master’s degree in engineering. He had never flown before nor watched a television, yet he slowly made his way and decided to make Canada his home. Over the next several decades he carved out a successful career in the environmental field, eventually becoming an assistant deputy minister in British Columbia and then chief operating officer of the National Energy Board. Along the way he learned much about what it takes for an immigrant to adapt and flourish in Canada. This is his story.
“Pradeep Kharé tells a deeply personal story of how a committed and disciplined immigrant can achieve an extremely satisfying life in Canada by intermeshing the culture he was born into with the culture he came to. Whether you are a newcomer to Canada or someone trying to make a career in the civil service, you will find some wonderful advice and inspiration in this book.”
— Ben Hume, President Sheppards Building Materials Inc.
“Pradeep tells an engaging and compelling story of immigration success that highlights his generosity of spirit in acknowledging the support he received and understating the racism he encountered. His focus on succeeding for himself and his family in his new country is inspirational.”
— Lynn Moran, Executive Director, Association of
Multicultural Societies and Services Agencies, B.C. (AMSSA)
