Hey Awesome Readers, GUESS WHAT?
We also host Audio Podcast every month - real talks with real people, who arrived in Canada like many of us. Our guests have varying journeys such as 3yrs, 5yrs & 10yrs but their stories connect & journey continues)
To celebrate the end of the year, we’ve invited a truly special guest to our podcast! 🎉 In this episode of Canada Connect by Neeraj Canada, we dive into the remarkable journey of an international student who arrived in Canada 7 years ago, chasing a dream but facing countless challenges along the way.
Our guest started his life in Canada juggling three jobs at the airport to make ends meet. Despite the hard work, his journey was far from smooth—paying $20,000 for a wasted LMIA, taking on a restaurant job he didn’t like, and struggling through the hurdles of securing PR. But fate had other plans. Through the TR to PR Pathway, he became a permanent resident and soon achieved an incredible milestone: buying his first house at the age of 24!
His story doesn’t stop there. From driving trucks to started of thinking business in India (and facing its challenges), he returned to Canada with a fresh perspective and pursued a career as a realtor. Today, he’s thriving as a full-time realtor, proving that determination and resilience can lead to extraordinary success.
