Success Stories
“My experience with PICS has been a great journey and worth a mention in my experience of migrating to Canada. I landed in Canada just when COVID hit the economy badly with multiple lay offs in the country making it much more difficult for a new comer to start a career here. I was looking for some help wherein I posted about it on multiple social groups and then someone referred me to PICS and this is how I got introduced.”
