âIâm glad we immigrated in December because February would have been too cold. Also, it was just after a few months of us moving to Canada that the pandemic arrived here, and isâŠâŠâ.
Olubukola Abdul wasnât planning to leave Nigeria - life was good. But after having kids, she and her husband started thinking about the future: safety, better education, long-term security. Fast forward to December 2019, they landed in Canada with three children, a ton of questions, and zero regrets.
Settling in Calgary, Olubukola put her background in accounting to use, joining a CPA firm and diving into tax work while pursuing her Canadian designation. Despite the cold and the curveball of a global pandemic, she kept moving forward, learning, adapting, and building a life that made the big move worth it.
