As Moving2Canada’s editor, Hugo brings more than eight years of industry experience to the Moving2Canada team.
Originally from Dublin, Ireland, Hugo has moved to Montreal not once, but twice — the second time in 2013. After a great period helping Moving2Canada find its feet after launch, Hugo went on to work for one of Canada’s largest immigration law firms for more than three years. He came home to Moving2Canada in early 2018.
Hugo has observed Canada’s ever-changing immigration system from both sides, as applicant and professionally. As a result, he understands the needs and goals of newcomers and representatives alike.
Hugo has also worked in New York, Southern California, and Ghana. In his free time, he can be found practicing irregular French verbs or explaining the offside rule to confused Canadians.
