Harnessing the Inclusion Advantage

Why Canadian corporations should take
advantage of immigrant talent?

Inclusion in the workplace is not just a step towards diversity; it’s a commitment to enriching Canadian society and promoting respect for immigrant culture. By nurturing and celebrating differences, we build vibrant and inclusive cultural environments that promote education and strengthen understanding.

Many skilled immigrants face barriers when trying to enter the workforce or are chronically underemployed despite having valuable qualifications and experiences that can contribute to various sectors of the economy. This underutilization of talent affects individuals and families and hinders our country’s ability to thrive locally and compete globally.

Through the Voices for Change project, we aim to motivate Canadian employers and corporations to embrace immigrant friendly hiring strategies. Immigrant professionals bring unique insights, cultural fluency, and a global mindset that can give your organization a competitive edge in an increasingly interconnected world.

By welcoming and nurturing immigrant talent, employers can participate in the success of newcomers and build more resilient organizations and stronger communities—all for a stronger Canada.
