| Really No Fee
|
Vinay Gupta was applying for college and needed his education documents certified as true copy. He was hoping he can do it for less money.
"Is there really no fee?" asked Vinay surprisingly, when
Asiya, Commissioner of Oath, certified and put her stamp on his documents for no fee!
Vinay was very happy to learn that this service also is offered at no fee . |
Offered at each of our locations. Please call to find out more.

I need a Job, not a Program 
You need a job. Employers, on the other hand, need workers like you, but many factors play a role before the connection happens.
You have international skills and employers are beginning to value your skills more. You need to learn how those skills are to be presented to the employer and 'where' the employer is looking for you, and actually both sides - newcomers and employers - require to invest some time to understand each other.
As a job seeker, you have great opportunities to learn what the employer wants through employment programs run by the government. Through these programs, you learn how to access the hidden job market, learn to conduct an informational interview - not just the theory, but practice too, create resumes that stand out.
The employment programs are offered in different formats, timings and locations, for example:
Two-hour workshops
Three-day workshops
Three-week full-time programs
In the process, you learn about Canadian workplace culture, network and gain the so called "Canadian experience".
The job search tools that you learn can be used in the furture also when you change cities, change careers or even to help your friends who are new to Canada.
Last but not the least, the success rate for these programs is between 75% to 85% over a period of six months.
Make use of these services and land your dream job in Canada.
