Recognition and development of experiences for recent immigrants

This project is a springboard in professional integration. It consists of developing the professional profile of each participant and his support by a mentor. This project is the result of reflections on the difficulties of social integration and integration into the labour market faced by newcomers to Quebec. These problems include: Difficulty for new immigrants to promote and recognize experience gained abroad;      Lack of Canadian experience;      The lack of knowledge of the reality of the labour market, its issues, the complexity and its peculiarities.

The aim of this project is to address all the difficulties mentioned and to enable new immigrants to integrate better into the host society. For this reason, this project is aimed at a small clientele among newcomers or recent immigrants. It takes place over a period of 5 months, during which participants will follow a 3-month training activity, following a 1-month internship in the company.

The project focuses on a framework that allows participants to benefit from information, advice and support activities in order to enable them, on the one hand, to promote and recognize their experience, and on the other hand, to be able to also gain Canadian experience. This dual dynamic is a perspective so that participants can overcome the difficulties inherent in returning to the labour market.

Throughout the project, participants received the help and advice of a professional sponsor, retired and with expertise in the same professional field and a 1-month internship in each participant's field of activity allowing them to mandates for different companies.
