Education & training financing for newcomers building their careers in Canada. GrowAsia Capital matches you with a trusted lender partner. Two minutes to see your options, no obligation.
No paperwork marathon. Just tell us where you stand, and we'll do the matching.
A short, two-minute form — your status, time in Canada, and the education or training you're financing.
We check your profile against our lender network's requirements and surface your best-fit option.
Review your match and apply directly with the lender — on your terms, at your pace.
Moving to Canada often means starting your financial history from zero — regardless of the credit, career, or savings you built elsewhere. Traditional lenders aren't built to see past that gap. GrowAsia Capital was built specifically to close it: we connect newcomers with vetted lenders who evaluate you on your situation today, not on a credit file that hasn't had time to form yet.
A national charity, founded in 2005, that offers low-interest loans of up to $15,000 to help skilled immigrants and refugees cover education, licensing, and training costs. Rates start around 4.45%, and every loan comes with free career coaching and mentorship.
GrowAsia Capital connects newcomers with education and training financing through our trusted lending partner. Windmill Microlending is a registered charity built specifically for newcomers who don't yet have a Canadian credit history or collateral.
Our goal is to make it easier for newcomers to access financing that supports education, skills development, and career advancement in Canada.
We match you with a vetted partner. Loan decisions are made by the lender, not by us.
We never ask for your SIN or banking credentials during matching — only what's needed to find a fit.
No Canadian credit history? That's exactly who Windmill Microlending is built for.
Two short steps. No commitment, and it won't affect your credit.
By continuing, you agree we may share these details with our lender partner solely to find your match. We never sell your data.

"The form took me two minutes on my phone. I expected way more paperwork for a training loan."
"It was reassuring to see clearly that GrowAsia wasn't the lender — just helping me find the right one."
