Shamira Madhany discusses the barriers that many skilled immigrants face when entering the Canadian workforce. Madhany is Managing Director, Canada and Deputy Executive Director, World Education Services. Madhany explains how post-secondary institutions can help immigrants bridge the ‘Canadian experience’ barrier with bridging programs, or by helping international students access pathways to employment.
Highlights from our conversation include:
