Windmill Microlending is a national charity based in Calgary, Alberta, that supports skilled immigrants and refugees as they restart their careers in Canada. It provides affordable loans of up to 15,000 CAD alongside personalized career support to help clients enter or advance in the Canadian workforce and address labor gaps in the economy. Windmill has pursued partnerships to broaden its impact, including a 2025 collaboration with the University of Waterloo to assist newcomers' workforce integration and a 2023 alliance with Prep Doctors to support internationally trained dentists pursuing licensure. In 2026, it launched a pilot program to offer resettlement loans to skilled refugees with Canadian job offers, developed in collaboration with the federal government and partner organizations such as Talent Beyond Boundaries and TalentLift. These efforts illustrate the organization's approach within Canada's civic and social sector, aligning financial support with career services to meet workforce needs.
