Corporate and Transferee Benefits

  • Elimination of relocation stress for transferees and their families.
  • Increased productivity - allows transferees to focus on their new jobs and companies instead of trying to take care of personal business.
  • Reduction in transferee and family frustrations knowing that needs are being looked after - "nothing opens up a new area as much as someone who is motivated and interested only in helping you".
  • Other company personnel are not required to assist the transferee and can then focus on their own responsibilities.
  • Increased loyalty to the company - transferee's perception of working for a progressive, caring company.
  • Any investment in a transferee's well-being fosters increased loyalty and productivity.
  • Increased potential for companies to acquire the best individuals for positions as a result of offering a "total" relocation package.

Thanks again and all the best."

"My consultant made my move as simple as it could possibly be. She was timely, efficient and got me into a place within two weeks of my arrival. I couldn't have asked for better service."
M. S.
MONTREAL, QUEBEC

"We very much enjoyed your positive attitude and friendly demeanour. Your team was very nice and easy to get along with. My consultant was certainly enthusiastic in her job and that reflects well in her friendly manner. We found the tour of the city's districts and various school zones very informative. We would recommend the service to anyone moving to the city."

WAINWRIGHT/LLOYDMINSTER, ALBERTA

"Thank you for your professional services for me and family members regarding my relocation to Vancouver.

It was wonderful and very helpful for me and family members to get to know the city. What I liked was that I could have any information about Vancouver from you, a resident, which is more insightful than information from website. So I just can say thank you for your support making mine and my family members' relocation stress free. Have a nice day and thank you."
D. K.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA

"Thanks a lot for the help and making my relocation to Toronto smooth and easy. Your timely follow ups were just excellent. The city tour I got from my consultant has been fantastic. I think saw more of Toronto in one day, than many of my friends have seen in many months here. She has driven me around every key place in downtown, has provided me with a bird's eye view of the city and has been a perfect guide.

She is completely informed and has been very patient. What really made me feel good is that in spite of her having seen the places so many times she was still as enthusiastic to show those places to me as I was seeing them for the first time."
A. G.
TORONTO, ONTARIO

"Thank you for taking the time to show us all the wonderful things there is available in Saskatoon. We are really excited for the new adventure and can't wait to try out some of the places you pointed out for us. Honestly, I think we accomplished a ton during our 3 short days together - drivers' license, social insurance number, health insurance, house hunting, etc. We would have been totally lost without your help. I don't think we can offer any suggestions as to what you need to change, because you seemed to cover all the topics that would be involved with new transferees.

Thanks again for all your help and we will keep in contact."

"The service that you folks provided was definitely impeccable! First and foremost, you got us on the right track about picking a location to stay in. You my wife and me a good sense of what will work for our current situation which we appreciate.

We sincerely thank you for all the help and the advice you gave to us! "
J. D.
KITCHENER/WATERLOO, ONTARIO

"Regarding the services you provided, I'd have to rank it as stellar. You were very friendly, communicated information effectively, and provided all the required information and services (house rental, obtaining AB Health Plan, SIN, etc.) needed for my relocation. The service was prompt and efficient. I have to mention my sincere gratitude for assistance and would recommend Welcomehome Relocations to any foreigner entering Canada. "

CALGARY, ALBERTA

"I just must say that this service was very helpful and made my move as smooth as I never could imagine the transfer could be! In less than a week with your help we managed to get all the paperwork done, open the bank account, find the place for me to stay, set up all the utilities, internet etc. If use typical phrases they ask for in feedbacks - all my requests were addressed in timely manner, none of the issues left unfinished and my expectations were met and exceeded.

But what can't be said using those pre-ready phrases and what I liked a lot was that it wasn't just an official client-service provider communication, but you make it really feel like moving to a place where people are waiting for you. I really don't know what I can say as a proposal for improvement because everything was as good as it can be! So just keep being the same great company!

Thank you for all the help! "

"I certainly enjoyed your guided tour through Fort McMurray and in particular your candid and honest commentary regards living and working in the city.

Your honesty and portrayal of the city was most welcome and greatly appreciated. It was an invaluable experience and one that encourages me even more to consider an offer of employment should one come my way.

I would certainly recommend your experienced commentary and tour to anyone wanting to see Fort McMurray.

Thank your excellent service, and you may use me as a reference for your services "
D. L.
FORT MCMURRAY, ALBERTA

"This is to let you know how pleased I am with all that you have achieved for me and my wife before and during our big move from Holland to Canada.

It was a great comfort that you secured a really good house whilst I was here on business in January, from an array of possibilities which we looked at over a period of several days. This helped enormously in many ways such as knowing what furniture to pack in Holland, organizing utilities connections and other arrangements which allowed me to settle more or less immediately upon arrival. This in turn has helped me to focus quickly on my new job without the delay and hassle of ongoing house hunting and temporary accommodation.

There are many other ways in which you have helped. Apart from all the admin, official registrations and geographical orientation, your positive and lively spirit helped to raise my spirits in the middle of a horrendous period of my life, being stretched between two jobs and two locations with all the associated frustrations, not knowing a soul upon arrival here in the Prairies. Indeed you made it fun!

We cannot thank you enough for going out of your way even on weekends and evenings to secure all that was necessary, particularly that evening when you worked late to secure the house and the Tenancy Agreement. "
