Ratna Omidvar and Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council

Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council: In my heart of hearts, I wish five years from now we didnt exist, says Omidvar, the initial executive director of the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council who now chairs the groups board of directors, according to The Star. Since its beginning, has developed into one of the top agencies whose goal is to help newcomers find jobs in the Toronto area and raise awareness among employers about the advantages of hiring skilled immigrants and Oddly, Ratna Omidvar dreams of the day the organization she helped launch some 10 years ago goes out of business. To her thinking, shutting down would be a clear sign that the small yet influential council had succeeded beyond its wildest aspirations, opening employment doors for all skilled immigrants and convincing big and small companies that hiring talented newcomers is good for business.
