🎙️ My Journey to Dual Citizenship (Canada + UK) But Australia Is Still My First LoveIn this solo episode, I’m sharing a big personal milestone—I’ve officially become a Canadian citizen! After years of navigating immigration paperwork, PR applications, and ceremony dates, I finally hold dual citizenship with the UK and Canada. I walk you through the entire journey—what it really takes, how much it costs, and what I’ve learned along the way.But that’s only half the story.I also take a nostalgic trip back to Australia, the country that first lit the travel fire in me. From the moment I landed in Perth to the chaos of Christmas Eve/Day morning (early hours) to Boxing Day cricket in Melbourne, Australia, my first travel experience completely changed my perspective on the world. I discuss culture shock, the beauty of spontaneity, and how that experience set me on the path I’m still following today.To wrap things up, I share a bit about the future of Winging It—where I see the podcast going, how I want to evolve the solo and immersive episodes, and what I’m most excited to create for the second half of 2025.If you’re curious about moving to Canada, falling for a country you barely knew, or just want to hear honest stories from someone winging it through life and travel—this episode is for you.Timestamps00:00 – Intro to the Podcast & This Week's Episode00:50 – Becoming a Canadian Citizen: The Big News02:10 – The PR Process: Work Permits, Points & Admin Errors04:00 – What It Costs to Become a Canadian Citizen05:10 – Tips for Tracking Travel History for Immigration06:30 – Why Dual Citizenship Was Always a Goal07:45 – Future Life Plans with a Canadian Passport08:30 – Flashback: My First Time in Australia10:00 – Culture Shock in Perth: Heat, Clean Air, and Beaches11:20 – Cricket in Melbourne and Backpacker Christmas Chaos13:00 – How That Aussie Trip Kickstarted My Travel Life14:30 – Lessons from Taking a Chance on Travel15:30 – Australia: Why It Still Feels Like Home16:50 – Winging It Podcast: Future Plans and Format Update18:10 – Outro and What’s Coming Next Week--------------------------------------------------------------Voyascape: Travel Podcast Network - https://voyascape.com/Winging It Travel Podcast - WebsitePlease leave a review and rating wherever you get your podcasts!--------------------------------------------------------------Winging It Travel Podcast CreditsHost/Producer/Creator/Composer/Editor - James HammondContact me - [email protected] Social Media - follow me on:InstagramTikTok Facebook --------------------------------------------------------------Support My Podcast - MembershipsPatreon - HereBuy Me A Coffee -
