ONE Hub

I have successfully completed 22 hours of Entrepreneurship Essential training course with ONE Hub on Friday 28th of April, 2023. During this course I have built an understanding of what is expected from an entrepreneur and gained a generic knowledge on how to launch a new business. I learned so much about starting business requirements, thinking financial aspects, networking, communications, and building connections. I have also met other entrepreneurs with different backgrounds and experiences, and I really enjoyed our conversations. I would recommend One Hub and this course specifically for any beginner who is looking to start something new in Canada. ONE Hub is doing a great job with assisting and helping newcomers. I would love if ONE Hub could offer a future program/course/workshop that puts newcomers in contact with existing Canadian professionals from the same field/career background in order to expand our network and help us build a career in Canada easier.

The coaching sessions are structured very well. I was able to articulate my idea and support needs and I felt heard, supported and received tons of resources which have turned out to be invaluable to me as I set up my business. I’m very glad that I enrolled for the ONE Hub Business Program. I found Sumyia to be a wealth of knowledge and information on my business idea. Her counsel has come in so handy in my business set-up process and enabled me to move forward very quickly. I should be operational in another week and a half. I wouldn't have done this so quickly without Sumyia’s guidance.

I started my business a year ago and ONE Hub team was there in every step of the way, offering ongoing assistance, advice and practical solutions to the challenges I faced. Thanks to the tremendous support Sumyia provided me in all business aspects. I would recommend your services to anyone looking to start or grow their business in Ottawa. Thank you for your professionalism and commitment to helping newcomers like me achieve their goals.

Tatanisha, your insightful presentation and ability to answer questions in a clear and concise manner have provided me with a better understanding of the program and the value it will bring to my career development. I am excited to participate in the program and learn from my mentor's experience and expertise. Once again, thank you for your time and dedication in creating such a valuable resource for all of us. I look forward to the start of the program and the opportunity to work with you and other mentors.

Today is the last day of a 3 weeks-program of the Entrepreneurship Essentials, delivered by Ottawa Newcomer Entrepreneurs Hub (ONE Hub Ottawa) where I have had the opportunity to participate. I have met several amazing professionals and entrepreneurs who shared their techniques, methodology and experience with me and my cohort mates to understand the basic rules, and figures to conduct market research and create a business plan that leads us to success! With programs like this one, everything seems more achievable in my immigrant entrepreneur journey. I feel confident that even if it would take time, I will be able to launch a successful business in my new homeland! Passion+Knowledge+Work=Success Thank you Grace Sheng, Danielle Kerr, Pierre Gaudet, Sara Tavasoli, Sarwar Qureshi, CPA, CA, LPA and Kais Aliriani for having put together this program and for your time, efforts, understanding and patience with all of us! It has been amazing! Thanks to all the facilitators who participated!

I was humbled and honored to be chosen by Ottawa Newcomer Entrepreneurs Hub (ONE Hub Ottawa) and be their ambassador for this event organized by RAEM, Groupe3737 and Collège La Cité. I was happy to share my experience as an immigrant women entrepreneur. I also had the opportunity to talk about the challenges that people might face as as an entrepreneur and how to overcome them. It was interesting to meet 2 other amazing panelists and know about their path.

Today celebrating the news. It is official that I am a mentor for newcomers entrepreneurs at Ottawa Newcomer Entrepreneurs Hub (ONE Hub Ottawa) . It is an amazing opportunity for me to give back to my community and I feel so happy about it. As an inmigrant entrepreneur I know how scary is to start a new chapter in a new country, but I also know that you are not alone in this process, there is always someone willing to help and guide. I am very excited for this new chapter!

Wanted mention again how grateful I am for all the knowledge that Ottawa Newcomer Entrepreneurs Hub (ONE Hub Ottawa) program gave me in terms of Business Development and Entrepreneurship in a totally new market and environment for me. Organizations like this make positive impact on immigrants that starts a narrative towards valuable changes in the society.

I must admit I am very thankful to you, your team, and all the presenters for their valuable support. I would definitely recommend ONE HUB program as THE program to be in for any newcomer embarking on their entrepreneurship journey in Canada.

Thank you, Tatanisha and ONE Hub and the Government of Canada, for this much needed program. Yes, yesterday’s session was extremely helpful: it gave me much hope to keep moving forward. Yesterday a friend sent me a video about burn out. So what I am experiencing now with the real estate business is a form of burnout. Two years of doing this mostly on my own, with limited knowledge and skills, etc. has led me to being on the verge of giving up…. This program has come at the perfect time, thank you! Have a great weekend everyone

I would like to tell you that I have attended so many entrepreneurial courses and programs before with many institutions and organizations in Canada and outside Canada. But no one can be compared to the ONE HUB program, which was so comprehensive content and the materials that covered all the entrepreneurs need to start a business.

Hi Randa, On behalf of myself and my two children, am saying thank you to all organizers of one HUB and my classmates. May we all be successful in the journey of our business so that you can be proud of us in the nearest future. Thanks so much

I must say that the virtual presentation went really well yesterday and I must thank Andrea for an excellent job assembling and moderation such a great panel and sharing practical/real life experiences from entrepreneurs. I certainly enjoyed and hope everyone did so as well. I wish to be attending such presentations quite regularly if not for other commitments and their resultant constraints. Once again, thanks for organizing my attendance. Once again, thanks for organizing the presentation
