May 3rd, 2021 comments People often ask Tanya Pynadath, 31, a newcomer to Canada, how she managed to land a plum job within weeks of her arrival, and that too without any Canadian experience. Her answer? Professional networking, research and a growth mindset. Pynadath stresses that she put in the bulk of hard work during the pre-arrival stage of her immigration.
