Canada’s labour force needs skilled workers.
Trained, accredited professionals who dream of finding work arrive in Canada every day.
The solution may seem self-evident but is, in fact, quite complex, says an employment specialist who works with new immigrants.
“There is a big difference between what newcomers expect (and perhaps are told) prior to arriving and the opportunities for them once they’ve arrived,” says Christine Hall, an employment specialist who works with clients at Halton Multicultural Council (HMC).
