My journey as a Chef from India to Canada

My Journey as a Chef from India to Canada
 

Early Life and Love for Cooking

I grew up enjoying the food cooked by my grandfather and father. Even though my mother and grandmother were good cooks, my father and grandfather created something special every day. They always cooked at least one dish that became my favorite. Watching them made me realize that cooking is an art, and that passion slowly grew in me. That is how my love for cooking began.
 

Inspiration to Move to Canada

While I was preparing for my school final exams, my cousin received an opportunity to study engineering in Canada with a good scholarship. We were very close and shared everything about our daily lives. He told me that Canada had a huge demand for skilled Chefs. From that moment, I decided that after completing my studies and gaining work experience, I would move to Canada.
 

Choosing Hotel Management as My Career

After completing my primary education, I appeared for several entrance exams to get admission into a good Hotel Management college. To my surprise and happiness, I secured admission into one of India’s top Hotel Management institutes. I completed my course with excellent results and gained strong practical knowledge in the hospitality field.
 

Starting My Career as a Chef in India

After completing my Hotel Management course, I got a job as a Chef in a well-known hotel in India. I put in all my effort to learn, improve my skills, and gain solid work experience. Working in a professional kitchen helped me understand international standards and prepared me for global opportunities.
 

A Turning Point in My Career

After working as a Chef for two years, I felt that the time had come to take the next step. I wanted to apply for a work visa to Canada and build my career there. During this phase, I came across Y-Axis, which became a major turning point in my migration journey.
 

Understanding the Express Entry System

In 2015, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced the Express Entry system to meet labor shortages across the country. Skilled professionals, including Chefs, are in high demand in Canada. With Y-Axis guidance, I understood that Express Entry was the right and fastest pathway for me to settle in Canada.
 

How Y-Axis Supported My Canada PR Journey as a Chef

Eligibility Check

I used Y-Axis’s free and instant Canada immigration points calculator and scored 70 points. This confirmed that I was eligible to apply under the Express Entry system.
 

Resume Preparation

Since Ontario is one of the major hubs for the hotel and restaurant industry in Canada, I wanted to work there. Y-Axis helped me prepare a professional Canadian-style resume that highlighted my culinary skills and work experience clearly.
 

IELTS Coaching

Y-Axis also provided IELTS coaching services. Their guidance helped me improve my English skills and successfully qualify for the Express Entry system.
 

Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)

Y-Axis supported me with the Educational Credential Assessment process. This ensured that my Hotel Management qualification from India was properly assessed and accepted by Canadian authorities.
 

Work Opportunities

Y-Axis helped me search for job opportunities and worked hard to connect me with some of the best hotels and restaurant chains in Ontario. Their efforts paid off, and I successfully secured a job as a Chef in Canada.
 

Visa Interview Preparation

The Y-Axis team prepared me for the visa interview and explained the type of questions I could expect. Their support boosted my confidence and made me feel fully prepared.
 

Receiving the Invitation to Apply (ITA)

After securing a job, I received my Invitation to Apply. It was a dream moment for me, my parents, and my grandparents. That day, I realized how far I had come and how important my family’s support was in making this dream a reality.
 

Applying for Canada PR

Y-Axis supported me throughout the Canada PR application process. Their wide range of services made the entire journey smooth and stress-free. With their guidance, I successfully applied for my Canada work visa and PR pathway.

Starting My Life in Ontario, Canada

The entire migration process took around six months. After receiving my final confirmation, I booked my flight and moved to Canada with great excitement. Settling in the beautiful province of Ontario was a life-changing experience for me. Today, I am living in Ontario and working as a Chef with one of the biggest restaurant chains in the country. This opportunity has helped me grow professionally and has given me the confidence to build a strong future in Canada.
 

Life in Canada Today and Future Plans

Living in Canada has always been my dream. I enjoy exploring the country’s natural beauty and different cultures. Currently, I am focused on growing in my career as a Chef. In the future, I plan to start a hotel technology business with my cousin. For now, I am taking things slowly and enjoying every step of this new journey.
