Designed for Internationally trained professionals, other newcomers, international students and temporary workers. Everyone is welcome!
An estimated one million immigrants and refugees are expected to come to Canada this year, many with top credentials in their professional fields. Many more come on temporary work permits in hopes of staying permanently one day. Some may be fleeing war, while others are seeking new opportunities and a better life. But they all have one thing in common: they need information and guidance after they arrive to help them in their immigration journey.

That’s where the cross-country Canadian Immigrant Fair, in association with Koodo, comes in. On October 26, 2023, the free fair comes to Vancouver. This event is in partnership with Koodo, along with Platinum Sponsors: BMO, CIBC, Lighthouse Labs and WOW Mobile.

Held at the Vancouver Convention Centre (999 Canada Place), the FREE tradeshow + speakers’ series for immigrants is all about providing the information and inspiration people need as they look for jobs, go back to school and settle into their new home.

The free fair, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will feature a tradeshow of diverse exhibitors, including career advisors, education institutes and social service agencies, plus hiring companies and our face-to-face advice at our Resumé Clinic.

“Immigrants are coming to Canada, and it’s our responsibility to welcome them, and help them settle in and integrate into this great country. Through the Canadian Immigrant Fair, we offer information on the three pillars of success for immigrating to Canada: careers, education and settlement,” says Sanjay Agnihotri, group publisher of Canadian Immigrant, a national magazine, website and events producer that has been a guiding star for newcomers since 2004.
