Canada is set to bring in 1.5M immigrants by 2025. And already, about one in four Canadians have come here  as an immigrant.

That said, breaking into the Canadian ad scene from another country is not always easy.

Whether you’re trying to get your foot in the door or one of those making the hiring decisions there are some terrific tips here from Fahim Khan. Take a listen.
