The Routes Expos, being held April 7 and 8, will help newly arrived and already settled foreign individuals by allowing them to connect, meet with, and attend presentations by employers, universities and colleges, government agencies, immigration experts, and settlement services.
TORONTO, March 23, 2021 /CNW/ - Newcomers Canada has held successful events for new Canadians across Canada and around the world for over 10 years. In response to COVID19 restrictions, the organization has put their in-person events on hold and adapted, announcing they will instead offer the Routes Expo virtually in Eastern Canada April 7, and in Western Canada April 8, 2021. The Routes Expo is a virtual experience designed for newly arrived and already settled foreign professionals to connect, meet with, and attend presentations by employers, universities and colleges, government agencies, immigration experts, and settlement services.
"We know that navigating a new country can be challenging, and that the current pandemic has caused some additional complications for new Canadians. We want newcomers to know we are here to help and that there are still many great opportunities available to them," said Erin Flynn, Newcomers Canada. Adding "These events are not only for newcomers, but also for Canadian businesses, economic development and government bodies working to attract quality talent that will sustain their businesses and regions."
Newcomers Canada has been connecting international talent with industry-leading employers who value diversity and the global experience that newcomers can offer their organizations since the organization's inception. They provide newcomers with meaningful information about cultural, educational, and business opportunities. Inspired by people who seek a better life, who uproot family and reroute their lives, Newcomers Canada are on a mission to make connections. Newcomers Canada is the largest network of new Canadians in the country, a place where both newcomers and employers come to map their routes ahead.
The 2021 Routes Expo is pleased to welcome the Government of New Brunswick as the title sponsor. New Brunswick is growing at a rapid pace and has a need to fill jobs across sectors including finance, healthcare, tech. The Government of New Brunswick will be joined by several of their industry partners who are searching for talent to fill these roles.
"At the Routes Expo, event attendees will have the ability to engage with speakers in live Q&A sessions, visit virtual vendor booths, and meet with employers. We encourage everyone interest to view the event schedule and to take full advantage of all that this dynamic virtual event platform has to offer," continued Flynn.
