About
Iwona Buziak-Mohamed
? Hello and welcome! I’m Iwona Buziak-Mohamed, your companion on the path to success in Canada. Originally from Poland, I’ve spent over three decades navigating the seasons of life as an immigrant here.
In my book, “Make Canada Home: The HAPPY Method — A 5-Step Guide to Success for Immigrants in Canada,” I share simple and practical tips drawn from my own experiences. Like the changing seasons, life in a new country has its shifts. The HAPPY Method, my 5-step guide, covers language skills, cultural integration, career development, and personal well-being.
As an immigrant myself, I understand the challenges. I am here to guide you, turning confusion into understanding and helping you find your place in Canada.
Warmly,
Iwona Buziak-Mohamed

A few things about me
What inspired me to become an immigrant coach and author?
I was inspired by my challenging journey as an immigrant in Canada over three decades. The HAPPY Method, a 5-step guide, stems from my experiences, aiming to empower immigrants on their journey to success.
The core values that guide my work with clients and my writing.
Empowerment, belonging, personal growth, and clarity guide my work. My mission is to empower immigrants, fostering belonging and encouraging personal growth through the structured HAPPY Method.
The one piece of advice I find myself giving most often is…
Follow the principles of the HAPPY Method – create a safe and peaceful home, embrace language and new skills, build connections, find balance between old and new, and prioritize self-care for health and prosperity.
I continue to grow and develop professionally by…
Staying engaged with the immigrant community, understanding evolving needs, and refining the HAPPY Method based on feedback and experiences.
