Internship Program for New Canadian Immigrants

Career Bridge, a program launched in 2003 by non-profit group Career Edge, has helped launch approximately 700 careers with more than 200 Canadian employers in the Toronto area. By partnering with Canadian companies, new Canadians benefit from a valuable foot in the door, gaining Canadian experience and contacts at the same time.

The success of the program has more recently led to its launch in the Vancouver area. Some of the companies that have already joined the effort in this region include Alcan, BC Hydro, CIBC, GE Canada, Canada Trust and Telus.
