Alec Regino for the Penticton Herald writes, “with Canada facing a critical labour shortage, many newcomers are ready to show employers they are more than capable of filling these essential roles.
MOSAIC, a nonprofit settlement agency in British Columbia, hosted an Immigrant Professionals Conference Nov. 26 to assist employers in recognizing the value that immigrants, refugees and permit holders bring to the table. And Canada’s pressing need for workers in a variety of sectors has many new migrants optimistic that there will be more opportunities for them to find work, despite past experiences of market bias against them.”
