The Canadian Job Market: Canadian Workplace

Cultural Differences Dept: Thirty-four per cent of the respondents said their employers do not have the resources to adequately address the cultural differences workers encounter when entering the Canadian job market, according to Globe and Mail. The counselling service also conducted a survey of 24 companies, which found that 71 per cent said they have diversity programs that they rate as successful or very successful and the survey questioned 560 professionals who earned their degrees in another country and have been in Canada for between six and 15 years. Of the total, 238 were currently employed and 322 were unemployed. They said employer orientation should include more advice about Canadian workplace culture and orientation in the specific job that they are hired to do. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
