Shape Canada’s Future: Immigrant Consultations in Kelowna
Have Your Say: Consultations for Newcomers in Canada
Newcomers to Canada, including those in Kelowna, have a chance to influence Canada’s immigration policies. Nationwide consultations are being held to gather feedback from immigrants like you. These sessions offer a platform to share your experiences, voice concerns, and advocate for changes that will improve the immigration system.
Why Participate in These Consultations?
Participating in these consultations is about shaping the policies that affect your life and the lives of future immigrants. Your input helps the government understand the real-world impact of current policies and identify areas for improvement. This includes aspects like settlement services, language training, employment opportunities, and recognition of foreign credentials. Learn more about settlement support.
A Voice for Kelowna’s Newcomer Community

Check the official Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website for details. Preparation is key. Think about the issues that are most important to you, such as family reunification or access to healthcare.
