Who is this event designed for?

Accepted Answer

This event is perfect for skilled newcomers, international students, permanent residents, and any job seeker who feels their international experience is being overlooked by Canadian employers. If you are qualified but getting rejected due to "lack of local experience," this is for you.

Question 2

Is there a cost to attend?

Accepted Answer

No, this is a free event. Our goal is to empower newcomers with the tools they need to succeed in the local job market.

Question 3

Will this session really help me with the "Canadian Experience" requirement?
