Video Conference with Ontario Employers

On April 23, a group of our clients had the opportuity to speak with employers and other organizations from Ontario - in a long-distance video conference organized by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and our office in Guangzhou. The Ontario panel is composed of representatives from two consulting engineering firms (Bantrel, Waydrop), the Professional Engineers Society of Ontario, Bank of Montreal, Centre for Information and Community Services (an immigrant serving organization in Toronto), and a Chinese engineer who himself was an immigrant. Our clients really enjoyed the occasion, as they were able to hear directly from Canadian employers what their needs and expectations were, as well as how they recruited new employees. This opportunity complemented what they have learned from CIIP during the LMI workshop and individual counselling session.

Our clients behaved professionally and asked very relevant questions. The conference ended with an optimism that hopefully would inspire our clients in their immigration journey. We all hope that there will be another chance for such an event, because it is very useful for the immigrants.
