CONNECTING SOUTH AFRICANS IN CANADA

From Braais to Business:
Building Your New Network in Canada

We understand, moving to the opposite side of the earth is no small feat. You’ve left your connections, your culture, and maybe even your favorite biltong shop thousands of kilometers behind.

Now what?

That’s where Howzit Canada comes in. We’re your go-to platform for navigating life as a South African expat in Canada. Whether you’re searching for businesses that understand your roots, events to find your tribe, or just a taste of home, we’ve got your back. Think of us as your virtual network, bridging the gap between South Africa and your new life in Canada.

IF YOU WANT TO GO FAST, GO ALONE. IF YOU WANT TO GO FAR, GO TOGETHER.
