Representation
Our commitment
Representing the Interests of Immigrant Professionals
La Voix de l'Immigrant serves as a voice for immigrant professionals by advocating for their concerns, needs, and recommendations with public agencies, institutions, and key stakeholders across society.
Our goal is to help advance practices and policies that promote a fairer, more inclusive, and equitable professional integration for immigrant professionals.
Our role
We act as a bridge between skilled workers, public institutions, policymakers, employers, and the various stakeholders involved in economic immigration and professional integration.
Our role includes:
-
Raising awareness of the realities experienced by skilled workers outside Canada;
-
Advocating for their interests with relevant authorities;
-
Informing decision-makers about the barriers encountered throughout immigration and integration pathways;
-
Promoting more equitable and inclusive practices;
-
Encouraging the recognition of internationally acquired skills, qualifications, and professional experience;
-
Advancing equal opportunities and access to information.

Why representation matters
