Founders on PacTech
When I joined the PacTech program, I learned a lot about Canadian culture and how to run a business in Canada. I think it is one of the best programs that anyone who wants to run a startup should join.
I’m truly grateful for PacTech’s support over the past two years. They’ve always been there when I needed it most, and I can’t thank PacTech enough for all the things they did to support me and the launch of my business. The PacTech program and team is really top-notch.
PacTech’s support was instrumental in helping my company quickly settle and thrive in Canada. Their efficient courses and guidance fast-tracked my entrepreneurial journey. Beyond that, their continued mentorship and resources have been invaluable in supporting my company’s development and integration into the Canadian market.
It is an enriching experience to learn through the Pactech programs. Some of the sessions could be challenging but in the end it makes you wonder at your own potential and accomplishments. The Pactech team is efficient, trustworthy and inspiring. They lead and cooperate as your ideal business partner and in the meantime can be your fun friends.
The PacTech program has been extremely useful. A lot of thought seems to have gone into program design and homework assignments, and my experience is that each of the sessions that I attended added a lot of value to me and my company. The PacTech directors provided me with a lot of practical guidance and personal encouragement on each step of my journey to move to Canada through the start-up visa program
