Sami says: “Moroccan culture was strongly present in our residence, and I began to feel it since the early years of childhood, and it looms in our practices. It has played a pivotal role in our rhythm today when certain occasions arrive. Such as the month of Ramadan, for example, or when celebrating the ritual of Eid al-Adha, and in parallel with the father’s insistence on our adherence to the original identity, he was also keen on our integration well into Quebec society.”
Boutaleb graduated from the “HEC” institution in Montreal, with a degree from the Higher School of Commercial Studies, winning a diploma in “Marketing” after completing a course of higher education in business administration. Then he entered a series of trainings at private institutes in the health sciences to become a specialist. Among other things, in dealing with practices related to the pharmaceutical industries.

Then he moved as an employee among a group of other institutions, to be The latest is “Pharmacam Patterns”.
A member of the Moroccan community in Quebec says regarding the next career stage: “The interest in the health field came to me from my mother, a doctor, and I was given the opportunity to develop my work after meeting with Dr. Marino, a distinguished medical figure, and we went through successive sessions towards building mutual trust until I began… Managing a clinic in 2018, then it was the turn for a second facility the following year.”
After the improvement in performance in recent years, Sami Boutaleb became, with a partner, supervising the management of a network of clinics in Quebec, focusing on services related to family medicine, and also providing various medical specialties.

It also provides remote support for some charitable tasks being implemented in Morocco.

From this position, I try to put my experience in the management field and my relationships within the health field in order to enhance the ongoing performance on the ground to support social groups suffering from fragility.”

Pride in the field

He moved from Montreal to Rabat to attend a family wedding before his presence in Morocco began. Morocco is a source of wonder.
Regarding what happened during this recent visit, Sami says: “I was amazed by the great change that occurred in Morocco during the few years that I was absent. I did not imagine that my travel in 2023 would make me amazed by what has been achieved in more than one Moroccan metropolis, especially the major changes witnessed by the capital, Rabat.”

Barter in migration
Sami Boutaleb believes that the most important step in immigration is achieving integration at the lowest possible cost of time, and the more speed there is in achieving this goal, the more the immigrant becomes under pressure from all aspects of society. Therefore, those about to immigrate are required to prepare in advance, by collecting the necessary information about the host environment and how to adapt to the peculiarities of the new living space.
Also related to immigration, the expert in managing medical clinics states that immigrants are able to retain their original cultures as a foundation on which to build their future, especially if this has a connection to Quebec and all of Canada, as there is a need to share personal culture with people in exchange for drawing from the cultures of others as well, as there is no room to wait. Gaining from others without the other party obtaining what benefits him from this interaction.”
“There is no doubt that immigrants’ self-realization goes smoothly if the path is connected to study of any kind, whether it leads to obtaining a technical diploma or obtaining a bachelor’s degree in any of the fields to which one is inclined; But chances are strengthened when there is a demand for volunteer work in a stable society, and then relationships can be built that will put the person in front of more opportunities,” concludes Sami Boutaleb.
