Upon his arrival in Canada, he first worked in Winnipeg, at the University of Manitoba libraries from 1969 through 1971. After moving to Ottawa, he worked for the federal government from 1971 through 1983. A forensic accountant by profession, he has since 1983 worked in the private sector. Apart from his secular activities, he is an Oblate of the Camaldolese Hermitage of the Immaculate Heart (Big Sur, California) and has recently undertaken the study of Holy Orders, in the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada. Stephen Hollander holds a Bachelor's degree, from the University of the Pacific, Stockton, California (1968) and a Master's degree, from Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana (1969). He has also received a certificate in palliative care from Algonquin College (Ottawa).

He has one publication to his credit: "Managing Personal Injury Damages; a Lawyer's Guide", (Toronto, Carswell, 1990, with updates in 1992 and 1993). Because of his interest in his adopted country, Stephen Hollander acquired the complete series of medals, entitled "Medallic History of Canada", from The Wellings Mint, by way of subscription, at the time of their issue. His donation of these medals to the National Archives was, in his own words, his way of "giving back to the Country where he had lived, for over twenty-five years".
