Business Cultures: Canadian Workplace

Bridging Program Dept: Despite having a strong command of the English language, she was surprised by the differences in the business cultures between the U.K. and Canada and she also lacked Canadian experience. It was tough to find a job in her field, according to Calgary Herald. "It's really taught me about the Canadian workplace culture," says Ibemesim. "One thing I really benefited from is they emphasized soft skills." Ruth Ibemesim spent years working in the environmental sector in the U.K. after earning her undergraduate degree and her PhD in biology, working in both academia and the public sector, before deciding to immigrate to Canada last October. Then she heard about the Environmental Immigrant Bridging program offered through the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society that launched in February as a pilot project with support from ECO Canada. She was accepted into a group of 15 that got six weeks of training to help them gain credential recognition, communication skills and local experience. As reported in the news.
