Pros

They give you a desk to work on.

Cons

The two Iranian guys running the company will try to sell you on how great of an opportunity it is to work for free for them. In reality, they are just seeking free labour and nothing more. The company is disorganized and it is not a professional culture whatsoever. Only if you are absolutely desperate should you even consider working for them. Take the unpaid internship at your own risk. You have been warned.

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. We are sorry that you had a negative experience with us, we appreciate your feedback. At Canada Create™ we are working hard to create a safe and productive work environment for everyone. Since May, we have implemented a different organizational structure and improved the overall workplace to make sure our employees and our interns get the most valuable work experience. Our internship programs are compiled to build an independent, strong individual, who is fearless in front of challenges. We provide our interns with real experience and strive to create an atmosphere, which encourages them to keep learning and growing both as people and as professionals. That means you are given the opportunity to work independently and are assigned tasks to complete with minimal supervision. We offer a full-time and part-time paid work to all those; we deem good hardworking individuals, who succeed during the internship and are willing to continue working with us. If you wish to provide further feedback or have ideas on how we could improve our working environment, please email us at hr@canadacreate.com.

Pros

I have worked at Canada Create for 3 months as a Graphic Designer, and I can describe my experience as a solid start to understand what I want to do with my future. - This place has nice people, friendly environment. - I got a couple of interesting projects and tough but really useful experience. - CEO is really friendly and always open for a conversation. - I asked CEO to cover my travel expenses because I was travelling from GTA and he did. - Got great recommendations after, which helped me to find a paid fulltime job.

Cons

- Unpaid position, which is a fact, not a problem. I am assured that only a stupid person applies for an unpaid internship and starts to complain about that after being hired. - Chaotic environment. It is complicated sometimes to understand what your task is. However, you are getting used to it and learn how to adapt. - If you make a mistake or fail to do your project on time, you will not get easy away with that. - Mentally difficult because of tight deadlines.

First, we are sorry for the delayed reply, and we are glad to know that your experience at Canada Create™ has been useful for your professional expertise and career! As for the atmosphere at the office and the mental well-being of our employees, we are always looking to evaluate and improve it, since we genuinely care, not only about Canada Create™ but also, the people who were part and have been part of the Canada Create family. Moreover, whenever ambitious goals are laid out for some projects, we admit that, sometimes, we become too focused on executing these goals and spend less time engaging with our team on a personal level helping to support each other. We are working hard to seek feedback and connect with as many employees and interns as possible, and we are trying to maintain a friendly, fun, dynamic and caring environment as we grow. We encourage our team for having a one-on-one meeting to discuss the work process and challenges they are facing at Canada Create™. Likewise, a list has been designed concerning the clients and which client should be prioritized first. We are taking every concern seriously and working towards perfection for our client’s and employee's satisfaction. Thank you for your contribution and feedback! If you want to share with us anything else, please, email us to hr@canadacreate.com.
