Working abroad is both exciting and scary at the same time. It has also become almost a necessity to get ahead in the competitive work place today. International experience is highly valued. Tom Long of Toronto-based partner of executive recruiter Egon Zehnder International says that “international experience is becoming the equivalent to stamping your passport in the business world.” The numbers speak for themselves, according to Statistics Canada there are approximately 1.5 million Canadians residing abroad at any given time. Of those 1.5 million, 170,000 have registered with Department of Foreign Affairs consular offices.

New experiences, new people and trying to make a life in a completely foreign environment is always difficult, but keeping in touch with loved ones back home can ease the process and make the adjustment go more smoothly. Prepaid calling cards not only allow quick contact with family and friends, it also helps with more consumer friendly long distance rates.  

The big step into a working world away from familiarity can be hard on both the individual and the ones left behind. Dealing with government administration, adjusting to new environments, and trying to build new social networks can be hard on anybody. Calling cards can help to maintain relationships. Whether it is just calling to say hi, or calling to vent about the frustrations from work, keeping in contact with your loved ones is essential to both body and mind. When you are surrounded by unfamiliarity, it is nice to know that comfort is just a call away.
