Cuestiones clave
1
Skills
There is a disconnection between understanding labour market trends and having the necessary complementary skills to access employment. Newcomers face many barriers to employment, including language and technology access.
2
Credentials/Experience
Many newcomers are unable to find employment that makes use of their professional training and experience. This can be caused by many factors, such as issues with accreditation, a lack of Canadian recognition of certifications and professional licences obtained outside Canada, or a lack of Canadian experience.
3
Discrimination
Many newcomers report unfair treatment based on their race, age, gender, sexual orientation, faith, or immigration status in Canada. This occurs across the employment process, from application to professional advancement.
4
Opportunities
Jobs are increasingly precarious, offering contract, part-time, or temporary work for low pay. Entry level options are limited, especially for those without Canadian credentials or experience. Newcomer service agencies want to do more networking with employers, but struggle to make connections.
