About Us

ThrivingAsACanadianImmigrant was borne out of a strong desire and passion to see immigrant professionals in career and business truly thrive in their new home. This vision took off in 2017 first as sharing real immigrant experiences, from career tips to real life stories on Instagram, then we added a podcast sharing quality information on navigating career growth in Canada, and now to include a networking event with a difference where immigrants connect for real-life, practical inspiration on career, business, finance to truly thrive in Canada. 

Built by immigrants, for immigrants, we provide the tools, mentorship, and motivation to move beyond survival and truly thrive in your new home.
