THE MOTIVATION
The motivation behind building a company is what makes it great. We believe that there are many inspirations for why people start companies, but the one thing they all have in common is that they’re driven by passion to create something better than the status quo. This will explore some of our team’s motivations and how we found out what inspires them here at ISA.
What could be more rewarding than helping others achieve their dreams? For many of us, working in a career that we love means helping others. Whether it’s through providing legal advice, teaching students, or simply being there for a friend, we find great satisfaction in making a difference in other people’s lives.
WHO WE ARE?
International Student Ally is a Canadian education consultancy that was founded early 2021. It assists Filipino students in Canada with their letter of acceptance in their chosen school. We believe that education should be accessible for all and strive to make the process of studying abroad as easy as possible for our students. By providing honest advice on different programs, professional guidance during the application process, we hope to help each student find an ideal program to suit their needs.
We are not just committed to helping you achieve your academic goals; we also care about the future you will build after graduation! Our goal is always to provide high-quality service.
We believe education is the key to a better life. Education is always better shared than kept between.
ISA’s vision is that every Filipino international student has the opportunity and resources needed for successful integration into their host institution, community, and country.
