A Micro Loan can be the Difference
Internationally Trained Individuals (ITIs) bring plenty of skills and experience to the Canadian workforce. However, these skilled newcomers continue to face barriers when trying to return to their desired career in Canada. For example, some Canadian employers and Regulatory Bodies do not acknowledge international credentials. As a result, ITIs may be forced to acquire certifications, accreditation, or even further education before finding work in their career of choice. Taking these steps to become employable in Canada may be very costly.
A micro loan may be what you need.
Micro loans are small loans given out at low-interest rates. Individuals who qualify for micro loans use this money to help them meet their professional goals. A micro loan could be extremely beneficial for the newcomer who is facing difficulties breaking into the Canadian workforce. The added value of the loan may be all it takes for an ITI to complete additional training or accreditation courses.
Simply put, a micro loan is an investment in yourself.
