The best centre for new comers.
I had an incredible experience working with Rasha Abdulsattar ( information counsellor ) at ACHEV. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to assist me. She guided me through the WES evaluation process with patience and clarity, ensuring everything was completed smoothly and efficiently.
Her dedication and willingness to help made the entire process much easier and less stressful than I expected. She was always responsive, supportive, and provided valuable insights that helped me navigate my next steps.
Beyond her expertise, Rasha is genuinely kind and caring, making every interaction a pleasure. I’m truly grateful for her help, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing guidance—she’s simply the best!

I am amazed and I’m awe of the services provided here for each newcomer. Everyone is very welcoming and ready to help us.
I have take my CPR training, Food handling training and a lot of one on one sessions with them. I am truly thankful for all the help I have received here which has helped me settle here as a newcomer. Special thanks to Shelly and Anhelina for being spontaneous and cooperative at all times.
They even have activities for kids to help them transition in the new place. Everything is free of cost! What better support do we want !
I would also like to thank and appreciate all the one on one help given to me by Nicole rylko, be it for my resume, cover letters, mock interview and career guidance in total. Thank you for all the insightful knowledge and guidance nicole!

Great organization offering a variety of support services.
I've had support from resume consultations, virtual workshops on filling taxes, job search support, and immigration consultation services.

Rasha Abdulsattar is one such advisor with whom I've interacted on a frequent basis. She has been a lovely supportive person, accessible by email/phone often and offered helpful advise.

If you're a newcomer to Canada, or someone new to the province and don't know where to start, I recommend getting in touch with someone from Achev. They'll help you out.

“An amazing organization! I am truly happy to be a client. I took an English test and was pleasantly surprised not only by the quality of the materials but also by the wealth of useful information provided. Throughout the entire process, I was guided by Angelina – an incredibly attentive and professional staff member. Her support and recommendations made everything smooth and easy to understand. The atmosphere is fantastic – you can really feel the care for clients and the high level of service. A huge thank you to the entire team for your outstanding work!”

I personally love this location of achev. Especially the activity’s for the children it’s all free and very fun. My children have a lot of fun there and they make new friends. They also sometimes have things like movie night or pyjama day and there’s even a day where they get to eat pancakes. It’s an amazing place for children.

I attended many programs in Achev regarding women’s day celebration and watercolour painting and more on during those days as a mommy my only concern was how to take care of my kid while attending those programs at that time I knew the CNC. The teachers over there taking care of my kid and they conduct some useful activities to made them busy my son enjoyed a lot and he attended the painting classes too which was amazing and he created some master pieces too but unfortunately I heard that they were going to close that so here by I am wishing if by any chance is there decision change that would be better for the parent in the neighbourhoods it was one of the fun filled place at any time and many more celebrations they did.For sure me and my son going to miss this one 😔
