or the third year in a row, Canadian Immigrant is returning to the Vancouver Public Library (350 West Georgia St.) with its Career, Education and Settlement Fair on Monday, Nov. 16, 2015, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Following successful fairs in Halifax in September and Calgary
in October, the Vancouver event has an exciting lineup of speakers, activities and exhibitors — all eager to help newcomers to the Lower Mainland settle in and succeed. Presented by Scotiabank and in association with IELTS CanadaBritish Council, the free fair will once again have employment,
education and settlement exhibitors lined up to answer your questions throughout the magnificent promenade as well as the lowerlevel rooms just down the stairs. Also downstairs will be our popular resumé clinic, new careers clinics (on health care, small business and more), and inspirational speakers including Iman Aghay, founder of Success Road Academy. He will share his own immigrant experiences in his motivational keynote How to Succeed in Canada with No Connections, Recognized Credentials or Canadian Experience. (Learn more about Aghay on page 10.) To learn more about the Vancouver fair, its sessions, exhibitors and more, see canadianimmigrant.ca/careerfair/Vancouver.
