They do useful work, and we encourage you to use them as well. The differences:
they start when you arrive — we start six months earlier. They give advice in group
workshops — we give named lists of employers hiring your profile. They know
the Canadian market — we also know your African career path and how to translate
it. And we are available evenings and weekends, when you are not at work.
No — we are not a placement agency, and nobody serious "finds" a job for you. We
make your application competitive and we aim it at the right doors. You are the one
who wins the role; our job is to make your phone ring.
Almost never. Three cases: recognition is required — we start it, aiming at the
right bodies; it is avoidable — many roles don't ask for it; or your experience is
worth more than the degree in your target market. The diagnosis tells you which case
you are in, before you spend anything on unnecessary steps.
That is built in: everything happens on WhatsApp and video call, evenings and
weekends included. It is one of the reasons this service exists.
That is the best moment — see the
Professional Landing
program above. Starting before departure saves months. And if relatives are still
back home without a visa, their question is a different one:
see the immigration page.
All qualified career paths: healthcare, education, engineering, IT, finance, law,
skilled trades, administration. One special case: if your occupation is
regulated — nurse, engineer, teacher, electrician — registration with your
province's professional body is part of the plan, and we build it in from the
diagnosis onwards.
