Hi, I am Yanesha Kumar from Sri Lanka. I studied child care in my home country, gaining a basic understanding of how the industry operates in real-time. After getting married, I moved to the USA with my husband. Eager to learn how things work in a different part of the world, I gained some knowledge and experience to kickstart my career in the new country. However, just as I was preparing for interviews and starting my career in child care, we decided to move to Canada for good.

Although it was a good decision, I initially felt alone in my career journey, knowing I had to begin fresh. But I didn’t give up. I was fully prepared to face new challenges in this new environment and started researching my options. To my surprise, I didn’t have to put in much effort. As soon as I began surfing the internet, I came across Peel College, which had excellent Google ratings.

I quickly reviewed the course content and narrowed down my options, satisfied with the results. I spoke to a counselor and decided to meet her in person to learn more about the course and the college. I was thrilled to meet the faculty and Chitra, the president of Peel College. This opportunity opened new doors for me, and I eagerly began my career journey with full enthusiasm. The support and learning at Peel College met my expectations.

My name is Hema, and I hold postgraduate degrees in science and philosophy from my home country. When my family and I moved to Canada, we were hopeful for a brighter future. However, I quickly faced the challenges of a tough job market. To support my family, I took various cash jobs, but I realized I needed to better understand Canadian work culture to build a successful career.

Determined to find a fulfilling path, I explored educational opportunities that would help me integrate into the local workforce. This journey led me to meet a counselor at Peel College of Professional Studies, who became pivotal in my educational experience.

Peel College’s course offerings and welcoming environment stood out to me. I decided to pursue a diploma in Medical Office Administration. The supportive atmosphere and dedicated faculty were inspiring; I even had the unique opportunity to be taught by a doctor, enriching my learning experience.

As I engaged with the coursework, I gained both theoretical knowledge and practical insights essential for navigating Canada’s healthcare landscape. This program equipped me with vital skills for understanding medical office operations.

Greetings, I’m Manisha Holmukhe, an Ayurvedic Doctor hailing from India. Having completed my MD and practiced for over a decade, life took an unexpected turn, leading my family to make the decision to relocate to Canada. With a mix of emotions, I embarked on this journey. Initially, adjusting to the new environment was challenging, especially as I sought opportunities in the medical field. Disheartened by the lack of prospects, I contemplated returning to India after four years of fruitless searching.

However, fate intervened when my husband crossed paths with the founder of Peel College, who introduced us to the Diploma in Medical Office Administration.

From India to Canada: A Journey of Hope and Success

My name is Bindu Manjeet Singh, and I made the life-changing decision to move to Canada with my husband. He had received an excellent job opportunity, and we were both excited about starting a new chapter in our lives. Little did I know that this journey would lead me to unexpected opportunities and personal growth.

Upon arriving in Canada, I eagerly anticipated finding a job that matched my qualifications and aspirations. However, reality hit hard—I struggled to secure that elusive breakthrough. Despite my efforts, the job market remained challenging for newcomers like me.

It was during this time that my husband discovered Peel College of Professional Studies. He spoke to a counselor who empathized with our situation and assured us that this struggle was normal for newcomers. The counselor recommended that I enroll in the Early Child Care Assistant diploma program. With renewed hope, I embarked on this new educational journey.

Determined to succeed, I poured my heart and soul into my studies. I firmly believed that the right mindset and attitude could open doors. Soon, I secured an internship opportunity, and from there, my career took off. I worked at Childventures Early Learning Academy and later transitioned to YMCA Guelph, where I continued to thrive.

Ameya Berde

Hello, I’m Ameya, a devoted mother to two delightful children. The journey of parenthood is an all-encompassing endeavor, often placing our personal aspirations on hold. While immensely fulfilling, the task of balancing newfound academic pursuits alongside the care of young children proved to be a formidable challenge, particularly in the context of relocating to a new country and facing familial obstacles that left me feeling adrift and disconnected from my own identity. It was during this uncertain period that a friend suggested I seek guidance from Chitra, a decision that ultimately altered the course of my life and proved a turning point in my life.

Following Chitra’s recommendation, I embarked on the path of pursuing a Diploma in Child Care. Despite initial reservations about juggling familial obligations with academic responsibilities, I approached this endeavor with optimism and determination. Throughout the rigorous program, I navigated the demands of coursework with the invaluable support of my family back in India, and the staff at Peel College.

Vandana Caringula

I am Vandana, originally from India. Back in my home country, I was doing well in my career thanks to my high qualifications, which ensured a good earning. My husband, who works in IT, received an excellent onsite opportunity, and we happily moved to Canada.

We were both keen on finding a course that would shape my future in this new country, and we shortlisted child care as a promising field. I initially enrolled in a 2-year course in Early Childhood Education (ECA), but it didn’t capture my interest. My husband then discovered the Diploma in Child Care from Peel College. After speaking to the counselor and having a thorough discussion about the opportunities and prospects, we reviewed the course details. Satisfied with what we learned, we decided to go for it.

I was happy and doing well in my classes. When it was time for the co-op placement, I was assigned a 3-month practicum. Initially, I struggled to adjust to the new work environment and wanted to quit. However, after several counseling sessions from the college, I managed to complete my co-op. The college counselor’s predictions turned out to be true. I received the Best Teacher certificate and was offered a placement at the same office.

My happiness knew no bounds. I sincerely thank Peel College for their constant support and guidance. I highly recommend this college to new immigrants in Canada.
