Orchid Emigration is a leading employment services organization that provides innovative programs to jobseekers and employers.
The Connecting Canada project believes that if more immigrants knew about opportunities to live, work, and grow in smaller urban and rural communities before they arrived in Canada, more of them would choose to start their Canadian journeys there.
By introducing pre-arrival immigrants to community members and employers who are motivated to hire immigrants, Connecting Canada helps pre-arrival immigrants learn more about the wide range of communities
they could choose to settle in and the services they can access to help them.
