The Immigrant Experience - Episode #2 - We had a chance to talk to Dr. Hala, a newcomer woman from Toronto. Hala speaks three (3) languages fluently - English, French and Arabic, she also has 8 years of experience in management but cannot find a job in Canada.

In this extensive interview, Hala narrates her immigration journey to Canada and shares her perspectives and experiences as a newcomer woman of colour and the struggles of finding a job within her field despite her extensive experiences, language competence, and education.

Just like many immigrants women, D.r Hala had to downplay her credentials to try to fit the cultural expectations of Canadian employers. Dr. Hala has now decided to start her own consultant company - HEPM Agile Consulting Inc. An IT project management and delivery solution: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hepm-agile-consulting-inc/about/
