About these events

These are the upcoming career fairs and job fairs in Canada whose organizers say they welcome newcomers. Some are held just for newcomers; others are open to everyone and make a point of including them. Each listing links to the organizer's page, where you can check who can attend and how to register.

Tips before you go

  • Use a Canadian-format resume: no photo, no date of birth, and results written as short bullet points.
  • Prepare a short way to explain your international experience in terms Canadian employers recognize, such as team size, budgets or results.
  • Know your work authorization status and how to describe it clearly, for example open work permit or permanent resident.
  • Bring copies of any Canadian credential assessments you have, such as an ECA report.
  • Ask employers which Canadian credentials or experience matter most for the roles you want, and note their answers.
