Dear Nick
Nick,
Thanks for the wonderful work you do in favour of the immigrants.
I arrived to Vancouver from Mexico in April 2009. I´m an Electrical Engineer and since September I have a job in my field. Right now I a working as a technician, but I know is just a matter of time to obtain a job as an engineer.
Of course I need to meet the required criteria and follow the process to be certified as a P. Eng.
The most important things I believe I am doing, and I say doing, is because I see this as a continuous process: learn and integrate to the Canadian culture, improve my English and update my technical skills by taking at least a short course in my field in a canadian institute.
These three issues are not easy to do, they require study and effort.
Of course what I did was based on your advice and articles you publish in you magazine, and also attending Pro-Tech and Working Solutions for Skilled Immigrants programs, from SUCCESS and Douglas College respectively, and I got a job now.
I still remember when I arrived to Canada, I received brochures from the Immigration department, but also a copy of your magazine. After I read it, it helped me a lot to visualize how to start my career goals in Canada. Your magazine was very helpful.
So I just wanted to let you know how you helped me and that there is another new immigrant with a job in his field, thanks again.
Sincerely, Eduardo Saldana
