“Aquí sí me valoran”: How an HVAC Job Changed One Latino Worker’s Life in Canada
When Miguel came to Canada, he took whatever work he could find — cleaning floors, working long shifts in kitchens, lifting boxes. The pay was low, the hours were long, and respect was rare. “They’d just say, ‘You don’t speak English,’ and move on,” he says.
A friend suggested applying to an HVAC company as a helper. Miguel hesitated, knowing nothing about the field, but gave it a shot. “They said if I showed up, worked hard, and wanted to learn — that was enough.”
Soon, he was on a regular 8–4 crew, earning $28–$35/hour with weekly pay, training, and a uniform. No shouting, no judgment — just a team that supported each other. Spanish was spoken freely, and for the first time, Miguel felt like he belonged.
One year later, he’s stable, respected, and saving to reunite his family. Now, he helps newcomers just like him.
HVAC jobs in Canada aren’t just work — they’re a fresh start. If you’re ready, you could start this week.
