IRCC Destination Canada Job Forum 2024 is Open for Registration
The anticipation is over as the doors swing wide open for the much-anticipated Destination Canada Mobility Forum 2024. The virtual job fair, scheduled for March 1 and 2, 2024, is now accepting registrations, marking the beginning of an exciting chapter for job seekers eyeing opportunities in the Canadian job market.
Participation in the Destination Job Forum is not only an opportunity but a necessity. While the event is free, securing a spot is crucial as spots are limited, and registration is mandatory.
Eligible applicants are invited to register by completing a comprehensive application, providing the National Occupational Classification (NOC) code for their line of work, and submitting their resume in Canadian format.
The next step in the journey involves a potential online interview. Canadian employers participating in the forum will review applications and reach out to applicants whose profiles align with their specific requirements. For those fortunate enough to receive a job offer, the path to Canada includes the option to apply for a Canadian temporary work permit.
Destination Canada Job Forum 2024: A Focus on Education
The spotlight for the 2024 job forum is on bilingual jobs in the education sector, aptly named Destination Canada Education. This edition of the forum centers on connecting job seekers and employers in the realms of early childhood education and teaching.
Key areas of focus include early childhood educators, primary and secondary school teachers (kindergarten to grade 12), and teachers of French as a second language.
The 2023 forum concentrated on jobs in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Tourism-Hospitality-Culinary sectors, showcasing the forum’s adaptability to cater to diverse industries.
What to Expect at the Job Forum?
Participating candidates can look forward to engaging with Canadian companies in the early childhood and teaching sectors through online interactions. School boards, daycare centers, and language schools will reach out to candidates whose profiles match the job postings, scheduling chat or videoconference interviews.
Beyond job opportunities, candidates can gain insights into the accreditation procedures for practicing as primary or secondary school teachers or educators. Interactive exchanges with delegates from French-speaking communities, provinces, and territories of Canada provide a comprehensive understanding of the country’s towns, regions, educational systems, and immigration initiatives.
For those seeking training, the forum offers valuable information about bridge programs in early childhood education. Attendees can also partake in conferences providing overviews of early childhood programs, teaching in French, and the Canadian school system.
Who Can Participate?
Participation in the Destination Mobility Forum is an exclusive opportunity. While it is free, an invitation from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is mandatory. The forum is open to both foreign nationals abroad and those already in Canada with valid work or study permits.
This edition of the forum specifically targets applicants who are proficient in French or are bilingual (French and English), and seeking jobs in Canada (outside of Quebec). Eligible participants should possess training and experience in early childhood education, primary or secondary school teaching, or teaching French as a second language.
Applicants in the International Experience Canada (IEC) pool, Express Entry pool, or with a history of prior study or employment in Canada are also eligible to apply.
