Building a life in Canada (BLC):
bridging the gap to success
Preparing to immigrate to Canada or already here?
Moving to Canada brings hope, but also confusion, because every country has its own culture, norms, and laws. The BLC courses helps you understand what’s different, why it’s different, and how to succeed in your personal, professional, and family life.​
​Even immigrants who have lived in Canada for 10+ years find incredible value in these courses because cultures and norms are invisible until someone explains them to us.
Hiring or employing newcomer talent?
“We value diverse talent, but integration can be a challenge.”
Offering this customizable course series to your new hires and existing employees will benefit everyone through:
-
Faster onboarding with fewer misunderstandings.
-
Better communication, trust, and teamwork.
-
Improved retention and productivity.
-
Less HR time spent managing cultural adjustment.
Close talent gaps and support inclusion with an onboarding-ready training you don’t need to build yourself.
Providing services to newcomers and employers?
“How can we give our clients what they really need without extra staff or hours?”
Service providers are stretched thin. BLC fills the hardest and the most time consuming gap: teaching the local culture, norms, laws, and systems, and their many implications on successful life and work in Canada.
This course series helps your clients understand why, not just what, they need to do—making them more open to adaptation, more engaged in your services, and more successful.
These courses are also valuable to staff who are,
-
immigrants themselves, lacking this knowledge, or
-
born Canadians with limited understanding of their clients' challenges and needs.
​
Use BLC as a client tool, and train your own staff with it.
