Registration is open for Canada's largest job fair

The Destination Canada Mobility Forum is Canada's largest annual job fair designed to introduce Canadian employers to job seekers from other countries. In 2021, it will be held from November 18 to 20 from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m. CET. Because of the pandemic, the event will take place online.

Who can register

Participation in the Destination Canada Fair is free, but is by invitation only. The event is intended primarily for French-speaking and bilingual candidates who wish to immigrate to Canada and live outside the province of Quebec. Those who only know English are also welcome to try their luck, but note that all conferences will be held in French; in English, only questions can be asked and answered.

Those who have been invited to the job fair will be able to connect with Canadian employers who are looking for employees as well as learn from Canadian provincial representatives about immigration and living opportunities in Canada's regions.

Candidates who fit into one of the following categories are eligible to participate:

• candidates who have a profile in the system Express Entry;
• applicants who have previously obtained a work or study permit in Canada;
• candidates who have an open permit to work in Canada;
• applicants who have been approved for permanent residence status;
• entrepreneurs who are planning to buy or start a business in Canada;
• candidates whose immediate family members live in Canada.
