FutureWorks Canada National Online Forum Series: Future-Proofing Immigration for Canada’s Workforce

Funded by the Future Skills Centre (FSC), this series builds on national initiatives that have brought employers and system actors together across Canada to share insights and co-create solutions that better align immigration with labour market needs.
With FSC’s support, these conversations are now being extended nationally through three online sessions designed to turn insights into actionable recommendations that inform both policy and practice.

Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Learn about national findings on immigration and labour market alignment.
- Hear from subject matter and sector experts on labour market trends, skills gaps, and their impact on immigrant talent integration.
- Engage in discussions that generate actionable, employer-informed solutions.
- Contribute to shaping strategies that strengthen skills development for today’s and tomorrow’s workforce.
