Culture

Challenge

Some employers may assume that skilled immigrants lack an understanding of Canadian business norms, or simply don't know the "Canadian way".

Opportunity

Organizations can benefit from including a diversity of cultural perspectives in their workplaces. Local resources also exist to help acclimatize immigrants to the Canadian workplace (link to comm. Agencies). As well, skilled immigrants can provide companies with a competitive edge by using their knowledge and experience to serve diverse local and international markets.
