Last week, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Canada Minister Jason Kenney said that the Canadian government is looking to expand a pilot project aimed at helping prospective immigrants prepare for work and life in Canada.
The program currently has missions in New Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, Manila, Beijing, and Hong Kong.
The goal of the program is to inform prospective immigrants who are in the later stages of their Canadian permanent residence applications about what to expect upon their arrival.
"Prospective immigrants (provisionally) selected through the federal skilled workers' program are being invited to a free two-day seminar conducted in New Delhi, where they're given practical information about the jobs market in Canada, which jobs are in demand at which places, how they can get their academic credentials evaluated, what they need to do to upgrade their qualifications and how they can do so - even as their medical and security checks are being carried out," Kenney said.
