More than 300,000 immigrants and refugees come to Canada each year, many with top credentials in their professional fields. Many more thousands come on temporary work permits in hopes of staying permanently one day.
Some may be fleeing war, while others are seeking new opportunities and a better life. But they all have one thing in common: they need information and guidance after they arrive to help them in their immigration journey.
That’s where the cross-country Canadian Immigrant Fair, in association with Public Mobile, comes in.
On April 29, 2019, the free fair comes to the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown in Burnaby, B.C. This tradeshow and speakers’ series for newcomers is all about providing the information and inspiration people need as they look for jobs, go back to school and settle into their new home.
The free fair will feature a tradeshow of diverse exhibitors, including career advisors, education institutes and social service agencies, plus hiring companies, a resumé clinic and more. The event’s popular speakers’ series includes career and job search workshops, communications skills class and a networking session.
“Settling into a new country is both exciting and challenging, particularly when also trying to secure employment. To that end, we are thrilled to provide resources to assist with the challenges of today’s job market through free professional photos. We look forward to participating in this cross-country fair and connecting with new members of our community,” says David MacLean, director of Public Mobile.
“Through the Canadian Immigrant Fair, we offer information on the three pillars of success for immigrating to Canada: careers, education and settlement,” says Sanjay Agnihotri, group publisher of Canadian Immigrant, a national magazine, website and events producer that has been a guiding star for newcomers since 2004. “More newcomers are coming to Canada every year, either as skilled immigrants, refugees or temporary workers looking to stay permanently, and it’s our responsibility to help them settle into this great country and succeed.
