Canadian Immigrants Receive Integration Support

Canada's Mnister of Immigration today announced a new resource which will help Canadian immigrants more quickly integrate into the labour force. Part of the Foreign Credential Referral Office (www.credentials.gc.ca) initiative, this new online resource is expected to help put the skills of new Canadians to work faster.

“Each year, thousands of skilled newcomers arrive in Canada. It is in their interest, and in Canada’s interest, to do everything we can to help them put their skills to work here as soon as possible once they arrive,” said the Minister. “This is one more tool to help them obtain the greatest benefit from their experience and education.”


Available online, the resource, entitled “Planning to work in Canada? An essential workbook for newcomers,” will be available to anyone who wishes to access it, within Canada or abroad. It includes general information about life in Canada, resources available to immigrants, language information, details about finding work, and more. This resource reflects the commitment that the government has made in the form of a $50 million investment to improve credential recognition.
