What differences have you noticed between working in Canada and working in your home country?
I feel like there is more respect for other times here in Canada, I really like to feel like part of a team.

What advice would you give to immigrants and newcomers looking for work?
It is very important to build a network, this is I believe the most efficient way to get a job, also to take advantage of all the help offered by some government offices like Manitoba Start.
