Shengnan Li is an immigrant from China who arrived in #Quebec in 2007. Now, she’s breaking gender stereotypes on construction sites as she helps rebuild Quebec's largest interchange. She operates an articulated dump truck and she couldn’t be more proud. https://t.co/RHyxVGMon2

"The reality is that top talent is hard to find, especially software engineers... I can see us hiring more refugees" says @andrewlwalsh, CEO of @iress.

No wonder, when you've been lucky enough to hire top talent like Tarek Mulla! https://t.co/O8Coul6RzV

The experience of newcomers to Canada is probably similar to those in the USA. New research shows that children of poor immigrants in America have had greater success climbing the economic ladder than children of similarly poor fathers born in the U.S. https://t.co/nb1TTpyhZE

[Canadian Council for Refugees @ccrweb]

"Sponsors of refugees call ... on the newly-elected Canadian government to bring in more refugees under its own auspices. Sponsorship of refugees should be in addition to, not instead of, government-sponsored resettlement."

Rola Dagher, arrived in Toronto as a refugee with no money and a 10-month-old baby, when she was 17. Now, as a grateful Canadian and business leader, she cannot preach enough how critical diversity is to business.
