I enjoy being an expat and feel equally at home here as I do back in Australia. I am not sure you can ever stop being an expat once you have been one for as long as I have: you are never totally "in" no matter where you live, not even back in your home town or home country.

Being a determined and persistent person I decided to keep going and in
the midst of these bad people I discovered some decent ones, in
particular Sean Trafford who gave me great help in finding a genuine
lawyer who is well respected and runs 4 universities in North East
Brazil and an accountant friend of this lawyer. I was also introduced
to an Italian developer with over 20 years construction experience who
had been living in Brazil for 7 years and was married to a Brazilian
lady.

What I can say is that, if you are planning to start a home-business in Canada, you need to plan, plan, plan! It all starts with a good or passionate idea. It was only last year when I came to Vancouver, Canada, to start my cosmetics business. It's only small, and I work from home.

Things could be perfect at home, and then ambition gets in the way.
Even though my promotions company in the UK was flourishing, I was
still looking for a new challenge. Growing up in Weston-super-Mare, I
had a lovely life by the sea, donkey rides on the beach... but it just
wasn't enough.

Argentina
Knowing the culture and language of Argentina is, if I'm honest, vital to success. Don't delude yourself with visions of grandeur and success, because if you don't know the culture, you don't know your market. And if you don't know your market, you don't know your opportunities.
