Achieve Your Career Goals in 2021

January 2021

Make 2021 a Fulfilling Year for Your Career!

Skilled newcomers bring a tremendous amount of talent to the Canadian workforce. However, many newcomers face many barriers when attempting to return to their desired career. A lack of Canadian experience, credentials, or understanding of working culture can all result in skilled newcomers not finding suitable work.

Career Loans is here to help skilled newcomers in Alberta and Saskatchewan return to a fulfilling career. We offer free career counselling from expert counsellors who understand the needs of newcomers. In addition to the support provided by counselling, Career Loans offers a micro loan of up to $15,000 to help with fees associated with training, upgrading skills, education, and much more.

Invest in your career, invest in yourself.
