16. I’m grateful to all my mentors. And the only way I can pay
forward is to keep mentoring myself. You might have all the
skills and qualifications, and you know you can do the work.
It’s like you have a plane and you know how to fly, but you
also need to know how to land and where. I called all mentors
“traffic controllers” who direct mentees where to land and what
to do to land successfully.

17. Mentors who have mentored 10
or more skilled immigrants

18. You may have done it once, twice, three times, but as
someone who has done it for ten years, the more the merrier!
The more mentees you meet, the more you learn, so keep
coming back to the program every year. You will be rewarded
for that.
