Testimonials
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.

ISANS has been instrumental in providing support to our employees for the past several years. It has been a good resource for anyone who is starting a new life in Canada. They are continuously evolving, especially with the current changes in immigration and they offer support to people even before they arrive in the country. Collaborating with them is a rewarding experience. Their commitment and passion to work truly shows in how they deal with everyone — their employees, clients and partners.

Dexter Construction Company and the Municipal Group of Companies work with ISANS to continue to build the capacity necessary in supporting immigrants and refugees through our partnership. Since 2011, Dexter Construction Company has hired over 100 clients from ISANS, and through programs such as Bridge to Construction and Engineers, through work-based competency programs. Dexter Construction has come to rely on ISANS to provide labour-ready individuals to join the construction sector during a period of acute labour shortages and an aging demographic across the industry. We look forward to working further to expand these programs and hire more clients for ISANS.

Through job readiness workshops, resume building sessions, and professional mentorship, ISANS not only helped me understand the Canadian job landscape but also gave me the encouragement to pursue opportunities that aligned with my skills and career goals. I’m now employed in a role that I’m proud of, and it wouldn’t have been possible without their incredible support.
