Human Resources committee  Thank you. I am going to first talk about how the federal government should contribute to finding a solution to those problems. The federal government could encourage the provinces in their efforts. Perhaps programs could be linked. Instead of setting up programs under which t

Human Resources committee  Thank you. CAMO-PI has launched a number of initiatives to facilitate the recognition of foreign credentials. We have conducted an experiment that led to an integration formula for nurses and registered nursing assistants. This formula was very successful, and is helping to solv

Human Resources committee  I mentioned the support offered to engineers and nurses, but there are also the liberal professions, including accounting, architecture, and so on. Those professions have been dealing with this problem for a very long time. Furthermore, for some time now, some sectors have grown

Human Resources committee  Let's talk about trainers first. Trainers themselves are a source of information. Their presence enables young people to learn something from them. Around the world, we have seen that the attendance rate of immigrants goes up when people from other ethnocultural backgrounds are

Human Resources committee  They are not aware of all the trades that exist. I said that the information was passed around settings that are far from the social reality of young immigrants. Young people are the potential clients for apprenticeships. We are talking about people who do not want to go to schoo

Human Resources committee  We need to do something about the information. The information that we circulate on websites or through organizations such as ACCESS in Quebec, can only be seen by young people who have had a normal progression. When we talk about young people who have problems or who live in mar

Human Resources committee  This is a problem for immigrants. For instance, in the schooling system in Quebec, we are told that secondary schools open their doors to young people at the age of 16 and even 18. However, many of those young people are behind in school when they come to Quebec because of the lo

Human Resources committee  The average age is between 18 and 24, but in reality those young people are older because of the delay.

Human Resources committee  I am sorry, I did not quite hear the question.

Human Resources committee  The drop-out rate is the same in the rest of Canada, except that, when we look at the situation in all of Quebec, we see that Montreal's rate is much higher because the city has a very high concentration of immigrants. There are a lot of problems and poverty. So the rate is very

Human Resources committee  First, there are the groups concerned. In my opinion, there is a problem related to traditions, in my opinion. We should change the perception. Then, there are the stakeholders from the territorial entities where these people live. There are also the funding parties, so the Gover

Human Resources committee  There are two things to consider with that. The first concerns the culture. For that, I suggested an awareness campaign to show employers that immigration will become an asset for renewing the labour force. There is also the issue of incentives. Employers are generally afraid of

Human Resources committee  Yes. We said that the employment insurance cheque is low for people who are at this level because they cannot claim to get worthwhile salaries. When they are given only a portion of these salaries, it becomes even more difficult, which often leads them to find other ways to make

Human Resources committee  Thank you. To do this, CAMO-PI recommends improving the support given to young apprentices. This support could increase the number of young apprentices who complete the programs. The last point is access of young apprentices to jobs once they complete their training. We are see

Human Resources committee  We suggest breaking up the training period into two or three blocks, which would allow young people who are hired to meet their needs by considering the job opportunity. In a single block, young people go a long time without work, which is very demanding, and they often end up dr
