Canada celebrates #WelcomingWeek2023 from September 8-17, urging Canadians to embrace newcomers and support their integration.
Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) emphasizes the importance of making newcomers feel welcome, fostering successful integration, and recognizing their contributions. With approximately 8.3 million immigrants in Canada, comprising nearly 25% of the population, IRCC aims to raise awareness through its #ImmigrationMatters campaign
Canadians are encouraged to connect with newcomers, share meals, attend cultural events, and promote a sense of belonging. Immigration is vital to Canada's growth, accounting for labor force and population expansion, economic prosperity, and innovation.
