EP#178 From Law and Logistics to Baking in Canada: Fresh Starts and Success Beyond Toronto

Carreiras no Canadá

About

In today’s episode of the Carreiras no Canadá podcast, we travel to St. Catharines, in the Niagara region, to hear two inspiring stories of reinvention and success in Canada.


Luiz and João left behind solid careers in Brazil—one in law and the other in corporate logistics—to pursue a brand-new path in Canadian gastronomy. The result? They became specialists in artisan baking and secured strategic positions in both education and food sectors, proving that it’s possible to start over successfully, even in completely different fields.


🔹 In this deep and fun conversation, we talk about:

Immigration and the challenges of professional transition

Daily life at Canadian colleges, both as students and staff

The job market in gastronomy and artisan baking in Canada

How to turn a hobby into a career

The power of networking among immigrants

Cultural experiences, food—and yes, even what it’s like to eat a beaver tail!


🔹 What you’ll learn in this episode:

How to leave a public career and rebuild your professional life in Canada

The different paths to working in gastronomy or technical education

The importance of adaptability, persistence, and community support

Realities of the job market outside Toronto

Practical tips for those looking to study, open a business, or enter the food industry
