Patis to Poutine Newcomer Rulebooks Series
We are excited to announce the launch of our first two essential guides, available now, and confirm two highly anticipated additions coming in Mid-2026!
The Newcomer Rulebook to Canada
The Unofficial Newcomer Rulebook to Canada isn't just about purchasing a book; it’s about buying insurance against the "Newcomer Tax"—the thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours lost to mistakes that everyone makes but nobody warns you about.
The Newcomer Rulebook to Calgary
The Unofficial Newcomer Rulebook to Calgary is like getting a "cheat code" for the city. It transforms you from a confused tourist into a savvy local in a fraction of the time, helping you bypass the expensive and exhausting mistakes most people make in their first year.
The Newcomer Rulebook to the United Kingdom
The Newcomer Rulebook to the United Kingdom, From Patis to Fish and Chips set to release mid-2026.
The Newcomer Rulebook to Australia
The Newcomer Rulebook to Australia, From Patis to Vegimite is set to release mid-2026.
Your Newcomer Freebies
Free Tools and Resources Portal
Your essential, no-nonsense, laugh-when-you-can, learn-as-you-go guide to navigating life in a new country. What started as one book has grown into a movement: practical, heartfelt, and unapologetically honest resources for newcomers around the world.
You can download, print, highlight, scribble on, or tape them to your fridge. These tools are your sidekick—your newcomer superhero utility belt—minus the cape and the fancy theme music.
And did I mention it’s FREE?
