Testimonials
CVAC is a wonderful group people who don’t hesitate
to share their knowledge and resources. Hearing what others
had experienced, along with the joys and pitfalls of being
part of a new profession has played an important supportive
role in the development of my own business. I don’t
hesitate to ask the group a question when I’m stuck
or need a second opinion. There’s enthusiastic participation
on the “list” and always someone with a helpful
answer. The leaders of CVAC have a clear vision for the
future and do a great job in making this a successful organization.
And best of all, it’s Canadian!

Joining CVAC has helped my business grow by networking
with other professionals and establishing valuable relationships.
I would recommend this group to any Canadian VA - it's a
great place to learn if you are in the development stages
of your business, as well as a great place to network if
you are a more experienced VA.

I have enjoyed being part of such a dynamic and diversified
group. When help is needed it is given willingly. The on-line
chats and resources on the site have helped tremendously
in starting my VA business and I will continue to use them.
I appreciate the efforts of all the people behind the scenes
- they make it all work.

When I first decided to start my business in March of 2005,
I read an article in the Toronto Star about the virtual
industry. In it was mentioned the Canadian Virtual Assistant
Connection.
Even though I had not yet formally registered my company,
I decided to join the group to find out more about how things
worked and (perhaps) learn from the “veterans”
of the VA world.
Since joining in 2005, I’ve not only met some wonderful,
“virtual” friends, I’ve learned a great
deal from the ongoing discussions about various topics (web
design, fees for service, MS-Word, etc.) relating to my
company’s niche.
I re-joined CVAC immediately when my membership came due
in 2006. CVAC (and its members) have been a lifeline for
me, especially in the difficult first months of my business
start-up phase. Its members (and founders) were there to
listen to me and were always willing and able to answer
my questions or support me when it seemed like nothing was
going right.
If you’re thinking of becoming a virtual assistant,
CVAC is the group for you!

feel very honoured and blessed to be a part of the CVAC.
Our Founders, Janice and Elayne are the best and are always
thinking of new and innovative ways to make things better
for the membership.
There is a great wealth of knowledge and true caring within
our membership, which not only benefits us all as members,
but CVAC as a whole.
Thank you CVAC and team members, you are all awesome.

I am a new member to CVAC and a newbie VA. When I was first
thinking of becoming a VA, I didn't know any other VA's
and contacted Janice and Elayne, who were both very welcoming
and supportive of my decision to become a VA. Because I
became a member of CVAC and had my information on the members
directory, I received an inquiry from a customer who was
looking for assistance. But for this directory, they would
have never found me! I was also asked to be interviewed
for an upcoming book on VA's, also because of my involvement
with CVAC.
I think that CVAC is a great organization and have found
the members to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful whenever
questions have been asked by its members. I am very proud
to be a member of CVAC and appreciate all of the benefits
associated with being a proud member.

When I first started VA business the first group I signed
up for was the CVAC. My first official client was the outcome
of responding to a Request for Proposal submitted to the
CVAC website. Throughout the time that I’ve been a
part of this group I have gained invaluable advice, support
and made some lasting relationships. This group has made
a big difference to my business, and I would highly recommend
to any VA thinking of getting into the business, or a VA
with an established business to join this group and enjoy
the benefits.

“Making the change from the corporate ‘workforce’
to doing it all on my own, the CVAC group has been invaluable
to my success – and sanity!
It has been the most rewarding work and the most exciting
experience to run my own business – but having a support
system is essential. Knowing that 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week, someone is online and will respond is like having
a business life-line. I have a group of savvy business owners
at my disposal who have an answer to my query or who can
provide varied opinions and perspectives when I need to
have a bouncing board! I couldn’t do what I do without
knowing that I have this group to support me!”
