I was born in a small town in India to an army officer father and a homemaker mother. Due to my father’s transferable job, we moved frequently across the country. This meant changing schools often and starting fresh every few years. As an introvert, adapting to new environments and people was not easy for me at first.
To cope, I turned to co-curricular activities and developed a keen interest in learning languages. Over time, this became my strength. As we moved from state to state, I picked up regional languages quickly and soon became fluent in several of them. What started as a way to fit in slowly shaped my confidence and identity.
Building a Strong Academic Foundation
I chose Arts as my major in school and went on to complete both my graduation and master’s degree in English, performing exceptionally well. Alongside my studies, I also completed an advanced-level French language course. Pursuing higher education meant moving away from my parents and living in different cities, which further strengthened my independence and resilience. Languages became more than just subjects for me; they became a bridge that connected cultures, people, and opportunities.
Early Career and the Turning Point
One of my French teachers referred me for a job as an interpreter with a large French multinational company entering a joint venture with an Indian company. My role involved managing official communication between both organizations, and the exposure was invaluable.
However, when the pandemic struck, I returned home to my parents. During this time, I learned from one of my father’s friends, who was settled in Canada, that professionals with strong language skills were in high demand there. This conversation planted the idea of Canada firmly in my mind.
Discovering My Passion for Teaching
While staying with my parents, I left my corporate role and began working as a teacher at a nearby school. It was during this phase that I realized my true calling. Teaching gave me a deep sense of fulfillment, and I discovered my ability to guide, inspire, and connect with students.
To strengthen my career, I enrolled in a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) program. After two years of dedication, I completed my degree and secured a teaching position at one of the best schools in my town. Professionally, I was growing, but personally, my dream of moving to Canada remained strong.
Deciding to Move to Canada
With a clear career path and growing confidence, I decided to pursue Canadian Permanent Residency. I reached out to Y-Axis, one of the world’s leading immigration consultancies. From the very beginning, their support allowed me to focus on learning about Canada while they handled the technical complexities of immigration.
Understanding the Canada Express Entry System
The Express Entry system, managed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), is designed to meet Canada’s labor shortages by inviting skilled professionals, including qualified teachers, from around the world. With my strong academic background, teaching experience, and excellent language skills, my profile fits well within this system.
Y-Axis supported me at every stage of the Express Entry process by clearly explaining the eligibility requirements, required documents, and timelines. Their structured guidance made the entire process simple and stress-free, allowing me to focus on preparing for my teaching career in Canada.

Starting a New Life in Ottawa, Ontario
After nearly six months, I finally reached Ottawa, Ontario, Canada’s capital city. I was offered a teaching position at a well-known school, where I now work as a language teacher. My mother accompanied me during the initial phase, and we stayed with my father’s friend until I found suitable accommodation.
Life in Canada Today
It has been a few months since I settled in Canada, and the experience has been nothing short of wonderful. The people, scenic beauty, and well-organized systems have made me feel secure and confident. For the first time in my life, I feel truly self-assured, both personally and professionally.
I am deeply thankful to Y-Axis for not just helping me migrate, but also for supporting me with post-landing services. Their guidance has played a crucial role in shaping my future. My journey from India to Canada as a teacher has been transformative. With determination, family support, and the right guidance from Y-Axis, I was able to turn my dream into reality.
