Cambier also traveled and lived in the United States between 1906 and 1909. He won the John Wanamaker Prize there in 1907 in Philadelphia. After leaving Belgium in 1914, at the time of the declaration of the First World War, he took refuge in Birmingham, England, where he spent 19 years. In 1923, he became a member of the Northern British Academy of Arts.
