Needs of immigrantsLearning and Recognition

• Learning and experience not recognized– Foreign universities, experiential work learning not

valued (lack of “Canadian experience”)

• Individualized assets/gaps….but instruction in cohorts– Language skills, soft skills, workplace culture– Keeping the job, advancing in career

• Retention issues over long process of integration– Discouragement, distraction, financial pressures

• Slow progress thru QR hurdles & higher CLB levels

• Handoff gaps between agencies, advisors– Completely fixed with Correlate? Depth of data?– Tracking longer term outcomes beyond Y1
