Having a positive mindset and a willingness to embrace change play a key role in how an immigrant’s journey will unfold in Canada, say two recent newcomers to Canada as they share their experiences and offer tips based on their own personal journey.
Ryan Thomas, 31, a marketing executive from Mumbai, India, arrived in Toronto, Canada in October 2020, during a pandemic, and few weeks before the arrival of winter.
He was unnerved by both. But he found that there was an upside to staying at home during the lockdown.
“I believe there’s a certain amount of unlearning that’s needed in order to succeed here as a new immigrant,” said Thomas. “Even though I landed here during the pandemic, I think it was a bit of a blessing because I was able to research the Canadian job market, observe the linguistic and cultural differences, update my resume, and explore my neighbourhood.”
