Background
Launched in 2007, the Best Employers for New Canadians competition is managed by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers in partnership with TRIEC,
a non-profit organization with extensive experience in immigrant employer issues. This special designation recognizes the nation's best employers for recent immigrants. These employers offer interesting programs to assist new Canadians in making the transition to a new workplace -- and a new life in Canada.
Selection Process
Each employer is evaluated in terms of: (1) whether they offer programs specifically designed to assist employees who are recent immigrants to Canada; (2) whether they have taken steps to reduce employment barriers for recent immigrants, such as by recognizing foreign educational credientials and experience; (3) whether they assist new employees who have foreign professional or educational credentials in getting these qualifications formally recognized in Canada; (4) whether they offer any "onboarding" programs, such as internal coaching or mentoring, to help new employees who are recent immigrants understand the Canadian workplace; and (5) whether their managers and employees receive training in cross-cultural issues or inclusiveness to help create a
welcoming and productive environment for employees who are recent immigrants.
Eligibility Requirements
Any employer operating in Canada may apply for this competition. Employers of any size may apply, whether private or public sector.
