About Us

One day, we decided that we wanted to create, inspire and educate. We looked back at our immigration experience in Canada, and there's just so much we wished we knew when we just got here. That's how our YouTube Channel was born.
BIO

Anastasia

Moving to Canada in 2008 was massively transformational. I’ve eventually found my calling as a Product & Growth Lead and Entrepreneur.

Over the last 14 years I've launched 20+ digital products, platforms and services using data science and machine learning in some of the most innovative startups. As a serial job hopper and career-obsessed, I managed my first team at the age of 21. Fast forward to today, I've developed a framework on how to achieve career growth, fast. Mentorship started as a hobby to help my classmates and friends, and now it's turned into a significant part of the work I do.

I love to hike, climb mountains, invest in the stock market and watch nerdy documentaries.

Why We Started Make That Change
I’ve met so many talented immigrants who struggled finding a good job and adapting to the new life in Canada, so I went above and beyond to help them. Our mission is to help newcomers assimilate in Canada and start building the life they came here for, faster.

We chose the name “Make That Change” as an inspirational call to action for everyone who’s brave enough to dare.  This is also a line from one of Anna’s favourite songs, “Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson. 🙂

BIO

Anna

Born and raised in Russian Siberia, I moved to Canada in 2019 through Express Entry with an MSc in Petroleum Engineering.

My immigration process lasted several years as I purposefully worked towards optimizing my chances to get PR. I've planned every move strategically on my own, because I could not afford immigration lawyers. This process helped me understand how Canadian systems function, build connections, and eventually get ahead and settle in Canada confidently, fast.

Now I share my knowledge and step-by-step experience on how to move, assimilate, find a job and build a life you want with those who have enough determination, but need some help navigating along the way.

I like movies, music, dancing, sports and travelling... and when Anastasia is watching the nerdy documentaries, I am the one adding extra nerdy details that the documentary omits 😊

If your goal is to come to Canada and succeed here - we will help you with resources and opportunities. Always aim higher -- buying a one-way ticket to Canada is a beginning, not an end.
