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.

What I found was that having people from diverse backgrounds truly enhanced the dynamic of our team. It opened us up, brought different cultures into play, and enriched everything we did. We weren’t just filling positions—we were gaining new perspectives. Since then, I’ve become a strong immigration champion. For anyone considering hiring from diverse backgrounds, it’s important to think beyond staffing needs and consider how you’ll support and onboard people from different cultures.

Coming to a new country as a refugee is not easy, everything is unfamiliar, and it’s easy to feel lost. But organizations like ISANS don’t just provide service, they give people hope. Hope that things will get better. Hope that we can build a new life, find meaningful work, and feel at home again.

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.

I would like to thank the RAP (Resettlement Assistance Program) housing staff member for her good treatment, kindness, flexibility, and understanding of my situation as someone new to the area.
