In this episode, I speak with Vincent Heys, a South African immigrant to Canada, about his journey of relocation, the challenges faced in adapting to a new country, and the importance of financial planning for immigrants.
We discuss family dynamics, the decision-making process behind immigration, and the role of faith and community support.
Vincent shares insights on the differences in education and healthcare systems between South Africa and Canada, as well as the mission behind his business, WealthStack, which aims to provide clarity and peace of mind for clients navigating their financial futures in a new country.
He highlights that immigrants often underestimate the emotional impact of leaving friends and family behind.
Vincent Heys: “It's not for sissies."
