Helping newcomers transition to the Canadian workforce


When I arrived in Canada 20 years ago, I faced the daunting challenge of starting over. The journey of a newcomer is one of courage, resilience, and hope. CIBC was the first bank to believe in me, offering me a role on the customer marketing team.

Focusing on ability, not disability


I have really strong focus and attention to detail, which helps me a lot in my role. Organizations like Specialisterne give opportunities to people who could be a strong fit for a role but may not get a chance through a traditional interview process.
