Sarah Tangan: A Mentee Story
I arrived in Canada and received the “warmest” of welcomes. I came from the Philippines and arrived at Fort McMurray eight days before the wildfire.

Simply put, if it’s darkest before the dawn, I had to ensure my life got a bit darker before a dawn was ready to break open for me. Sure enough, I stand here today as a success story
I can see myself land in my area of professional expertise in the near future. I extend my sincere thanks for ERIEC and its staff for all their passionate efforts in matching immigrant professionals with mentors who are well acquainted with the Canadian labour market.
Coming to Canada is both an opportunity and a sacrifice to me. It’s an opportunity because I thought I would have a bigger chance to wider my career path.
I arrived in Canada in July 2015 to join my husband who was living in Alberta. After a short period of rest, I decided I would begin job hunting. Being a newcomer to Canada, I had no idea where to begin my search.
