"Early in 2010, my friend, [a] Senior Engineer with Wardrop submitted my resume to Wardrop through the Employee Referral Program. Wardrop offered to apply for a work permit for me and process the necessary paperwork. This made the decision to move to Winnipeg quickly much easier. I joined Wardrop in September 2010, just 3 weeks upon my arrival to Canada. I found much support from the company and my colleagues during my first steps here. I am very proud to start my career in Canada with Wardrop."
— Sherif Y., Employee
