In 2000, Nick co-authored the hugely successful book Arrival Survival Canada, subsequently published by Oxford University Press. This led to his creation and the launch in 2004 of Canadian Immigrant magazine; Canada’s first national magazine for all immigrants. In 2007, Nick sold the magazine to Star Media Group – a division of Toronto Star Newspapers Ltd. and continued his position as publisher.

Under Nick’s leadership, the magazine won accolades and awards in addition to becoming a must-read for immigrants to Canada, reaching a combined readership of 500,000 readers per month with two print and an online edition. Nick also developed the magazine’s Lilian To Scholarship, giving away $55,000 of education to newcomers annually, and was the architect of the Top 25 Canadian Immigrant Awards, Canada’s first national recognition of immigrant contributions.
