What really touches me about ISANS is the genuine care they show in helping newcomers succeed. It’s not just about providing resources; it’s about truly believing in people and their potential to build new lives here. More than just business training, IWEN has given me meaningful collaborations, deep friendships, and a true sense of belonging in this new chapter of my life.

ISANS helped turn our dream into a real, practical plan. They understood what newcomers truly needed and supported us every step of the way. I was able to secure a job the same week I applied, and my son found work just two weeks after arriving. Don’t underestimate the power of being prepared.

The WTPA program helped me start my career as a mechanic in Nova Scotia, where I could apply the skills and experience I earned back home. ISANS supported me every step of the way, from connecting me with an employer to providing safety shoes, tools, and everything I needed to begin working. I am deeply grateful for the support that helped me settle in and provide for my family.

ISANS truly helped me navigate my path to licensing. The program was incredibly accommodating, offering support at every turn. That level of support truly makes a difference. It’s not an easy road to get your license, but it is achievable. I have done it, and many others have too. Don’t give up. There are countless opportunities, and once you earn your license, the rewards are well worth the effort.

I know life is not easy for refugees, but I see hope here and positivity around me. I am happy that I found ISANS; otherwise, we might have felt lost.

Excited to share my recent experience with the communications strategies for patient interaction course taught by the phenomenal Carolyn Duvar; this course has been an absolute game-changer for me as an International medical graduate preparing for the NACOSCE. This course isn’t just about passing exams; it’s about equipping myself with the skills needed to excel as a physician in Canada.
