Hadi Ijaz is a graduate of McGill University with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He came to Canada from South Asia as an international student to study at one of the world’s top universities and left with far more than just a degree. During his time at McGill, he met people from more than 160 countries and developed a deep understanding of diversity, inclusion, and global work ethics, growing both personally and academically. His journey across continents has shaped him into someone who values and understands both Eastern and Western perspectives.
As a Canadian citizen, Hadi has explored several countries and developed strong insight into study abroad and immigration pathways for students and professionals. For more than six years, he has worked in international education and immigration, helping clients make informed academic and career choices. His experience includes business immigration consulting at Ernst & Young and global education advising at The Aspirants, where he processed hundreds of university applications and scholarship offers.
Earlier in his career, he served as a career counselor at a leading international school in Lahore, guiding students on higher education and career development. Alongside consulting, his background in engineering has provided him with a strong foundation in project management, data systems, and technical tools. At Hatch, one of Canada’s top engineering consultancies, he worked in the Commissioning Engineering department, gaining hands-on experience in data analytics and visualization. He created business intelligence dashboards, supported project management systems such as Visio and SharePoint, and contributed to data-driven improvement projects, while also providing IT support and team resourcing for technical operations.
