Toronto May 23, 2023. The Ontario government is leading the country with changes to help internationally-trained immigrants work in the fields they’ve studied in. After introducing historic legislation that banned regulated professions from requiring Canadian work experience in more than 30 occupations, Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) are the first association to remove it from their application criteria. This has the potential to help thousands of otherwise-qualified professionals pursue their dreams over the coming years, all while maintaining Ontario’s world-class licensing and exam requirements.

Canada's Kids Help Phone is running a pilot project until December 31, 2020 offering services to Arabic-speaking callers through an Arabic interpreter. 

As international migration continues to grow in scope, complexity and impact, social integration of newcomers has become an issue of global concern. It’s particularly a salient issue for Canada, a country with one of the highest global rates of immigration.

Senators Mobina Jaffer and Ratna Omidvar have written the follow op-ed to raise awareness among newcomers to Canada about important changes that have come into effect this month with Bill C-46, the updated Impaired Driving Act.
