Get approved for a career loan with a fixed interest rate as low as 6.7%.

If you’re an internationally trained engineer, a Windmill loan can assist with your career-related expenses, enabling you to start practicing again.

Why should you apply for a Windmill loan?

We know starting over in Canada can be tough. You may be working a survival job, wondering when you’ll be working in your profession again. Getting re-accredited or re-licensed can be costly, but Windmill, a registered charity, is here to help.


As a non-profit, we are offering low-interest career loans with a fixed 6.7% rate - one of the lowest rates available. Unlike payday loans with sky-high rates, and even big banks can’t offer this affordability, Windmill’s loans are specifically designed to support skilled immigrants like you.


Beyond financing, Windmill provides career coaching, mentorship and money management training to help you succeed. Our mission is to get you back to your profession and living the Canadian dream you came for.

From examination fees to childcare costs and living expenses1 , while you study, a Windmill loan can cover the varied costs of accreditation, education and training that are essential for you to advance your career in Canada.

Note: A Windmill loan cannot be used for business start-up costs and/or to pay off other debt or debt consolidation.
