When I first arrived in Canada a few years ago, I thought, this is it. A fresh start, the dream I’d waited for
I could practically feel the new life taking shape—bright, open, promising. But, well, life had a few surprises in store.
The bills? They started piling up fast. Faster than I could keep up. And then came the rejections. Job after job, no after no.
I’d been an HR manager before, with a stable career, respect, and a sense of purpose. But here? I was taking shifts in warehouses, scrubbing floors, making deliveries. Just getting by.
I didn’t expect it to be this tough, and I’ll be honest—there were days it was hard to see the light.
But something kept me going. I knew I had value. I knew it even on the hardest days. My skills, my experience, the years I’d spent building a career—they were still there.
And deep down, I realized I wasn’t starting from zero, even if it felt like it. I just needed to find my footing in this new place. Canada’s culture, its work environment—it was different. It didn’t mean my experience didn’t matter; it just meant I needed to understand what was different and work with that.
So I kept going. Every shift, every job taught me something new. Warehouse work, cleaning, deliveries—each one showed me more about this country, its values, and its people.
And in the process, I found something else. I found that I was building—building on the experience I already had. Little by little, things started to change. Doors opened, slowly, but they opened. I found work closer to my field, roles that let me bring in the skills I’d always had. And the funny thing is, I got there not by becoming someone else but by staying true to who I already was.
If you’re starting over, let me tell you something: you’re not starting from scratch. You have a foundation—skills, resilience, a story all your own. Lean into that. Adapt, yes, and keep learning. But don’t let go of who you are.
Starting again isn’t easy, but it’s a rare chance—a chance to build something new, on your terms, with everything you’ve gained along the way.
I created a transformative course to help immigrants get jobs that reflect their worth faster in Canada. Link in bio.

What is “Canadian experience,” really?
For many immigrants, it’s a vague, frustrating concept—an invisible hurdle in the job market. When employers say, “You lack Canadian experience,” they’re often signaling, “We’re not sure if we can trust you within our unique work culture.” This simple phrase, intended or not, creates a significant barrier that goes beyond skills or education.
The Immigrant’s Struggle:
You know you have the expertise, but hearing this feedback over and over can feel disheartening. It makes you wonder if your years of hard work and achievements mean anything here.
The Employer’s Perspective:
It’s not about doubting your skills; it’s about wondering if you understand the unwritten rules—those subtle workplace dynamics, cultural norms, and communication styles that help you blend into the Canadian workforce.
Breaking Through:
You can build that trust with three powerful strategies:
• Adapt your experience to show its relevance in a Canadian context.
• Present your unique perspective as an asset, not a drawback.
• Master the cultural nuances that demonstrate your readiness to fit in and contribute.

Feeling stuck while everyone around you seems to be moving forward?
It can be frustrating, right? Watching others advance while you’re working just as hard, maybe even harder, can feel like you’re being left behind.
But here’s the thing: growth doesn’t always look the same for everyone.
Just because you’re not hitting milestones at the same time as others doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.
Sometimes, being overlooked or feeling stuck is a season of preparation—building you up for something bigger.
Those moments of frustration are the times you’re sharpening your skills, gaining experience, and getting ready for the right opportunity.
But if you’re feeling stagnant, it might be time to take action.
Have a conversation with your manager—let them know you’re eager to grow and ready to take on more.
If that’s not an option, consider taking solo courses or picking up a new skill that can open doors for you.
It’s easy to feel like you have no control, but often, a small proactive step can shift things in your favor.
Remember, your journey is your own. Don’t compare your path to anyone else’s.
Focus on what you can control—learning, growing, and staying open to what’s ahead.
It’s not about racing to the top but about finding your own pace and rhythm.
You’re not stuck. You’re getting ready for your moment, and it’s coming. Stay patient and keep moving forward—you’ll get there.

I knew it in my heart long before I admitted it to myself. There were subtle nudges, growing louder with each passing day—a whisper that it was time to move on.
I saw the signs and felt the inner pull, yet I stayed, convincing myself things would change.
But here’s the truth I wish I had faced sooner: when it’s time to go, it’s time to go.
Don’t ignore what your heart and circumstances are telling you. If one or more of these signs resonates with you—and you’ve done all you can to make things right—then it’s likely time to take that bold step forward.
Staying too long can cost more than just your happiness.”
Don’t Ignore the Signs
You’ve worked hard to make effort to correct what’s in your control, but sometimes the best solution is moving on.
If these signs feel all too familiar, it’s not too late to make the change that could transform your career—and your life.
Trust your instincts, take that leap, and find the role where you’re truly valued.
When it’s time to go, it’s time to grow.

Building trust is one of the best ways to navigate a new workspace, especially when you’re in a different country. Trust helps you form strong relationships, showcase your skills, and bridge cultural gaps.
As I mentioned in a previous video, one of the most effective ways to build that trust is through volunteering.
Volunteering shows that you’re not just here for the job—you’re invested in the community and willing to give back. But beyond volunteering, telling your story about how these experiences have shaped you can make a lasting impact. It helps others see your dedication, commitment, and the unique value you bring, regardless of cultural differences.
In a new country, it’s about more than just adapting—it’s about building trust through your actions and sharing your story.
