Here are some recent client comments:
An eye opener. Came to know about certain important aspects which I was unaware of. Was guided properly and was given direction in the right way.
CIIP helped make us aware of so many things that we probably would have not known or known after years. Helped us with connections and support to settle in Canada without much difficulty.
Its been a useful initiative from the Canadian Govt. because the wealth of information it provides will certainly help me in taking a successful step
I thought I had to do all this after landing in canada. Now I understand that with a lot of this homework done while I am in India, I'd take a lesser time to settle down.
The induction program given by CIIP is of alot of help to new aspiring immigrant to Canada in terms of providing them relevant tools and links to explore on finding better jobs, houses and other issues relevant on settling in Canada.
God sent facility for immigrants
Absolutely priceless
It has cleared lot of doubts and I feel like I have networked too many organizations in Canada. My settlement process has started even before I move to Canada.
Great initiative, very warm & informative staff who gives you a true picture of the transition process, the program definitely increases the immigrant's preparedness.
I was explained many things that I didn't know previously and now I understand the value of being well prepared before I leave India.
Thought of moving to a new country without any knowledge of the systems, laws over there was confusing and nightmarish. This CIIP session has oriented me in terms of what preparations I can do in India and how to proceed & achieve my goals.
Mostly all aspect for new comer to Canada is touched. A very good lecture was given by both Mr. A Rosland and Mr. Paramveer and they made the sessions more interactive instead on only lecturing.
The success rate of getting into a desired occupation depends considerably on the province into which one lands. The personal counselling guides and opens up a wealth of information, which if one follows seriously then it leave very small probability of one not getting the top he wishes to have.
Before coming to this place I was in dark as to how I should start my relocation process. I had very vague ideas but was not able to decide what and how to go ahead. However, now I have a better picture and can plan my relocation in a streamed manner.
Over All Rating A++
This should be mandatory for people immigrating to Canada, if possible.
The CIIP initiative was awesome. It helped to clear lot of doubts and gave me a clear understanding of the job market, the hiring conditions, etc. in Canada.
We would appreciate if you could confirm by email who will be attending from your side, so that we can firm up numbers. We welcome and encourage all spouses and any adult children over the age of 18 to attend.
Thanks,
CIIP Team
