Can we move on from sharing resume tips?
Yauhan Mehta is an exceptional career coach. I mean, he’s helped over 750 immigrants land jobs they love.
And I think what makes him successful is how he approaches career coaching.
He starts by helping the client identify what they want. Not job description or salary number. But who they want to be as they find their foot in Canada.
It’s easy to scoff at this approach. However, if you accept that moving to a new country is an opportunity to press the reset button, you can see how valuable this can be to a newcomer.

Have you gotten your Newcomers X CIWA tees or hat?
So far, we’ve gotten 34 donors. Thank you to everyone who’s supported this cause so far. For context...
We’re proud to partner with the Canadian Immigrant Women’s Association (CIWA) to help 300 newcomer and refugee families this holiday season. $5 from every Newcomers merch purchase will go directly to CIWA’s Adopt-a-Family campaign — helping CIWA reach its $50,000.
Support a family. Rock the merch. Make a difference. The campaign runs until December 24, 2025. Every purchase counts!!

Here’s why you need to set up your TFSA
Raise your hand if you didn’t get confused with all the financial acronyms that get thrown at you when you move to Canada. There’s the TFSA, RRSP, RESP, and FHSA.
Everyone talks about them like they are common knowledge. And that doesn’t help at all.
Well, Paul Adeyeye, a financial educator and host of The Thriving Immigrant Podcast, has a great breakdown of why the TFSA deserves your attention, especially if you’re still finding your footing in the Canadian financial system.
