At Systematix, welcoming newcomers is a core commitment — and a tremendous asset to our consulting teams. In Quebec City especially, our HR team warmly greets every new international arrival, offering the support needed to ensure a smooth transition into life and work in Quebec.
Systematix has emerged as a leader in this area — a fact that recently drew the attention of Radio-Canada, which published an insightful article featuring Ariadna, a computer engineer from Mexico. Below is a brief summary of her story.
In 2022, Ariadna left Guadalajara to start a new life in Quebec City, carrying with her both ambition and uncertainty. From the outset, Systematix supported her every step of the way — from pre-arrival preparation to clear guidance on the process, and most importantly, personalized follow-up that made her transition seamless.
Recognizing that language is the key to true integration, our team organized French courses tailored to each employee’s individual needs. In Ariadna’s case, even with her advanced proficiency, our Quebec team helped her refine the nuances of Quebecois French and enhance her professional writing — a vital skill in her field.

These efforts not only made her day-to-day life easier but also deepened her sense of belonging — to both the team and Quebec society at large.
Ariadna’s integration extended well beyond administrative and workplace matters. Thanks to the Systematix social club — which offers sports, social, and festive events — she quickly formed meaningful connections and began to feel truly at home in her new community.
From a career perspective, strong managerial support provided her with a clear development path. Starting as a programmer-analyst, she progressed toward a role as an organic architect, guided by specific goals and targeted training.
Because immigration affects the whole family, our Quebec office also supports employees’ spouses and children. Whether it’s job searching, French language instruction, or school enrollment, every detail is considered to ensure a healthy balance between personal and professional life.
Today, nearly half of our Quebec team is composed of international talent — and more than 90% have obtained permanent residency. This success reflects our deep commitment to building enduring relationships grounded in trust, growth, and human development.
Ariadna’s journey is a perfect example of our core belief: retaining international talent requires holistic support — human, social, and professional.
This philosophy is fully aligned with our core values and commitment to diversity. Today, the Systematix team includes individuals from more than 30 different nationalities — a powerful asset that enriches both our company culture and our people-first approach.
