It was an honour to host @CitImmCanada Minister, @SeanFraserMP today as he outlined Canada’s efforts to strengthen our position as a destination of choice for immigrants. Canadian employers and communities all benefit when we attract the best from around the globe.
I'm proud of what the @IEC_BC team has built with FAST - we are helping immigrants make the best use of their skills and Canadian employers find the talent they need. Thank you @fsc_ccf_en for your unwavering support. #ImmigrationMatters #Cdnimm #IRCC #ESDC
We’re excited to share a new evaluation of @IEC_BC's FAST, a promising skills assessment and development platform for newcomers funded through the @fsc_ccf_en. Check out the evaluation release here:

I couldn't agree more! Authenticity and clarity of purpose are critical to avoid the tokenism that works against inclusion and growth #ImmigrantsWork #ImmigrationMatters
Authenticity is so important when reflecting on your organizations inclusion goals. #ImmigrantsWork

A5. Be clear on what your inclusion goals are and what your reasons are – be genuine, authentic. #ImmigrantsWork
