Canadian Immigrant magazine to hold first Halifax career and settlement fair

Canadian Immigrant magazine, in collaboration with sponsor Scotiabank and Fusion Halifax, is presenting Halifax's first annual career, education and settlement fair at the World Trade & Convention Centre. 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.on Tuesday, Sept. 8. 

The fair is built on the success of similar events held in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary in the past 5 years. (More than 1,500 Canadian newcomers attended the 5th annual event in Toronto in June.) The Halifax fair this September will be tailored to the specific needs of immigrants in the province, including its growing numbers of international students and temporary foreign workers.

"Nova Scotia has one of the highest intakes of temporary workers and international students, and our fair will create a place where immigrants of all types can come to learn about immigration, education and careers in the region," says Sanjay Agnihotri, Group Publisher of Canadian Immigrant. "Halifax's history is steeped in immigration to Canada, boasting the famed Pier 21 Canadian Museum of Immigration, and our goal is to ensure that today's new arrivals get the information and inspiration they need to succeed in Canada." 

Canadian Immigrant, a division of Metroland Media Group Ltd. has more than 287,000 readers each month through its print publication and website (www.canadianimmigrant.ca).
