Just to add to what my colleagues have said, in our agencies what we do... Reasonably, it will be the same for natives and for newcomers, but for a lot of newcomers we do encourage them to do two things. The first thing is to have some Canadian education, which is true, just to upgrade their education. The second is to volunteer. The more volunteer work you have in your résumé, it will give you more chances. It means you have learned the Canadian way of doing business. So the first thing we do is to encourage them to take any Canadian programs so that they will be more aware of how it works here in Canada, and the second is to volunteer.
