How this started
A friend of mine — a physician on fellowship at Vancouver General Hospital — moved into my building. I watched him spend his first weeks in Vancouver the way most internationally trained physicians do: calling landlords who hung up when they heard he had no Canadian credit history, discovering school registration had closed months before he arrived, figuring out the SIN and MSP and banking system entirely on his own while starting one of the most demanding professional roles of his life.
He told me: someone should do this properly. He was right.
There are hundreds of internationally trained physicians arriving in Vancouver every year for hospital fellowships. None of them have what they need to land well.
Why I'm the right person to do this
I live in Vancouver. I know the neighbourhoods near VGH and St. Paul's. I know which property managers will work with international tenants and which won't. I know the SD39 school registration deadlines, the MSP wait period, where the halal groceries are, and which RBC branch has the shortest wait times on a Saturday morning.
That local depth — paired with personal accountability — is what makes Baytik different from a generic relocation service.
How I work
Baytik is a personal service. You work with me directly — not a team, not an automated system. When you send a message, I respond. When something comes up that you didn't expect, I handle it. That's the standard I set for myself and the reason I keep the client roster intentionally small.
Local depth
Real Vancouver knowledge — not a generic guide. The right neighbourhoods, the right landlords, the right timing.
Personal accountability
You work with me directly. Not a coordinator, not a junior. Me.
Ahead of the deadline
Every important deadline in your settlement is known in advance. Nothing is discovered after it's too late.
