Shattered hopes, crazy job market, and real life immigrant stories
“When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.”
I want to share something that might be keeping you up at night.
It's the fear, doubt, and crushing frustration that many of us face when trying to make it in Canada.
Remember when you first landed here? Full of hopes and dreams? But then reality hit.
So let’s talk about it.
Let me tell you where some of our mentees started:
➡️ Ayesha was one click away from booking a one-way ticket back to India because the uncertainty of what to do was too heavy to bear.
➡️ Arushi watched her friends back in India climbing the career ladder while she served tables.
➡️ Kunal was laid off from his job and found himself back to square one. To make matters even worse, his PGWP clock was ticking.
➡️ Parth wasn’t getting a single interview call despite his Canadian experience! He had started planning to move back to India as his savings were running out.
➡️ Sushmita was harassed in her workplace and was fired with a ‘No Cause Termination Letter’ for reporting the incident!
See the pattern here?
All of them had a unique situation where they thought, “It looks like I won’t be able to achieve my goals. I feel so hopeless right now.”
So, if you think you're alone in this struggle, you're wrong.
If you think your situation is uniquely hopeless, you're mistaken.
These people? They were where you are now. Maybe even worse off.
And guess where they are now?
🏆 Ayesha? She's now earning $80K as an Occupational Health and Safety Coordinator.
🏆 Arushi? She got an $85K offer as a Business Analyst.
🏆 Kunal? He bounced back with a $70K offer as an Associate Project Coordinator.
🏆 Parth? He got an $85K offer as a Senior QA.
🏆 Sushmita? She got a $65K offer in her field as an HR Co-ordinator.
Now, you might be wondering, "What changed for them?"
It wasn't luck. It wasn't some magical connection.
It was a shift in their mindset and strategy.
They quit making excuses about the job market.
Most importantly, they took action.
They invested in themselves, upskilled, and learned how to navigate the Canadian job market like pros.
I want you to ask yourself:
How much longer can you tolerate doing a minimum wage?
How many more days do you want to wrestle with self-doubt?
How many more nights do you want to be anxious about wasting your potential away?
Your success story is waiting to be written.
Keep Blooming,
Bani Singh
