How did immigrants get hired by top companies in Canada?

As we enter 2025, it’s the perfect moment to shed old patterns and embrace a fresh approach. The past year wasn’t about mistakes—it was about valuable lessons. But if you continue to job search the same way you did last year, you’ll remain stuck in outdated strategies while the world of work evolves around you.

Let me share the inspiring story of Vishnu, a newcomer to Canada who, like many immigrants, struggled to break through despite his qualifications. This is a story that could be yours.

Immigrant in Canada's Journey: From Stuck to Senior Leadership

When Vishnu first moved to Canada, he followed the conventional route—hiring a professional resume and LinkedIn writer. Despite his impressive qualifications, he wasn’t landing interviews for roles that matched his skills. Like many newcomers, he felt invisible, overlooked, and trapped in an entry-level role, even though he had the experience.

After completing a contract role, Vishnu and I sat down to evaluate his career. I asked him to list everything he had accomplished. That’s when he realized that he had been stretched far beyond the scope of his role, taking on leadership-level tasks, yet he was underpaid and undervalued. His resume and LinkedIn profile simply didn’t reflect this.

The key transformation happened when I taught Vishnu the art of personal branding, after helping him gain career clarity. We worked on defining his job family and understanding his role within the larger market. We also conducted a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats), which gave him clarity on his next career move. With this new clarity, Vishnu learned how to articulate his leadership impact and unique value, building a resume that aligned with his professional journey.

The real breakthrough came in his interviews. Vishnu learned how to tell his story using my “one-size-doesn’t-fit-all” career strategy. He stopped simply listing his experience and started weaving impactful stories that demonstrated how his work created value. This helped him stand out and present himself in a way that captured attention.

The Results?

? Vishnu went from feeling stuck in an entry-level role to landing multiple offers.

? He secured roles at Accenture and a top bank.

? He worked on high-profile projects and rose to Senior Technology Project Manager at BMO.

When his projects ended, as is common in IT, Vishnu wasn’t left wondering what to do next. He had the tools and mindset to make strategic career moves. Each step forward, he did so with confidence and pride. He selected employers aligned with his values and made decisions that served his long-term career goals.

This skill set will stay with him forever—he is now in full control of his career.
