Vancouver is a melting p ot for so many immigrants from all over the world. The percentage of India ns migrating to Canada has increased tremendously in the last ten years. \ nBefore you begin your next big chapter\, take a look at the four major ti ps to help you with your journey in your new country. These tips can help you settle faster in Canada. \n1. Join Professional Platforms \nThe most c ommon professional platforms in Canada are used not only for job seeking b ut also to interact like-minded individuals and people working in similar industries as you. Platforms like Indeed\, Workopolis and LinkedIn are the most used portals to start your career in Canada. Search for professional groups on LinkedIn. You can find some interesting groups on Meetup also. \n2. Build your Resume/CV \nBuilding a resume and/or curriculum Vitae can be made easy with simple templates available easily on the Government of C anada website and Indeed. They can help you create your professional resum e according to what is commonly used in Canada. It is best to have a maxim um of 2 pages and make sure it’s not too “crowded” or “wordy.” R each out to a Human resources personnel within the community to review you r resume for you – there are many people that genuinely offer their serv ices. The Government of Canada website also has a section in planning your career and to learn more about occupations in Canada. \nResume Templates \nResume Builder \nCareer Planning \n3. Network \nNetworking in Canada is a casual affair. You can meet up at a nearby Starbucks and make an importa nt connection. Ideally\, people prefer messages or emails before they meet someone or agree to talk on a call. Punctuality is important in these sce narios\, and it is polite to offer to pay during the meetup if it involves food and beverages. Time is an important commodity and people are careful who to share their time with. The aim of these meetups is not always to s eek a job position but can also be used to understand the organization or the hiring process. Asking for a job\, unless it is being offered to you\, at a first meeting with a stranger is not considered polite. LinkedIn\, M eetup.com\, Facebook public events\, local Facebook Indian Community group s are a great way to network and look for professional connections and new friends. \n4. Volunteer \nVolunteering your time to the local community i n Canada is a great way to understand the culture and work ethics in Canad a. You can look for Volunteering Opportunity in Indian Community in Vancou ver or outside the community. It is also a way to meet new people from dif ferent walks of life and a variety of cultures. Vancouver is a melting pot for so many immigrants from all over the world – use that to your advan tage by seeking volunteer events in and around the city. Check out India C ultural Association (ICA) Of Vancouver if you would like to volunteer for the community based not for profit organization \n5. Participate & get inv olved with the community \nFeel free to check out our events section and p articipate in them. We post events where everyone feels welcome\, attendin g those events you will feel to have a small piece of the homeland in Vanc ouver. You can also follow ATI Vancouver on social media (Facebook & Insta gram) to get yourself updated with the Indian Community Buzz. \n6. Check O ut Mentorship Programs Available in the Community \nCheck out Mentorship p rograms available in the community. Some programs such as SettleSmart by E mpower Community Service Society is focused to empower the community throu gh connections & guidance. \n\n  \nCredits: Written by Pooja Relekar.

Our st ories are vehicles for our memories\, individual identities\, and shared c ultures…but can we connect to an older story\, one that transcends time and the barriers between us? \nAnatta—the Buddhist idea of “non-self\, ” or non-attachment to permanence—is a necessary antidote to our uncer tain times. Schauch demonstrates that by immersing ourselves in the wonder s of nature\, we can ignite an ancient connection and deep loving-kindness . He shows that the way to resolve conflicts with others is to first resol ve conflicts within ourselves—an essential practice in an age of increas ing war and polarization. \nBy weaving tales of the metaphysical with Budd hist ways of seeing\, and with refreshing bursts of humour and grace\, Sch auch reconnects us to the beauty of everyday life—the stories that conne ct us across time and place\, and the primordial way back to the heart. \n *** \nThis book is a ‘sword of light’ for those ready to cut through t he illusion of separateness and come home.” —Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo \n “Ultimately\, Anattā feels like shelter in challenging times.” —Be rnadette McDonald \nMore information on the book and pre-order links are a vailable at michaelschauch.com/anatta.
