In this webinar, we will discuss all you need to know about hiring and retaining international students in your workplace.
In 2021, there were 621,565 international students in Canada, with thousands more recent graduates on their Post-Graduate Work Permits. In 2021 it was also reported that 72.6% of international students desire to stay and settle in Canada after their studies (CBIE). Despite these numbers, international students and graduates remain a largely untapped market by employers across Canada.
