ABOUT IPC

The Conference

For the last 14 years, MOSAIC has been organizing the annual Immigrant Professionals Conference (IPC) and has been receiving consistent positive reviews and feedback.

Each year the event provides 250+ immigrant professionals with the opportunity to further their professional development via presentations by inspiring speakers, active participation in plenary, breakout sessions and panel discussions, and networking opportunities.

IPC’s objective is to provide guidance, encouragement and inspiration to newcomer professionals who will benefit from their exposure and connection to experts and leaders in their respective fields. Learning the trends in the current labour market and applying the strategies and skills in their own personal career advancement would be a meaningful take away from this event.

“Immigrants form over 20 percent of Canada’s workforce and are a large pool of skilled workers. Most immigrants are highly educated, speak more than one language and can link business to customers in Canada’s ethnic communities and abroad.” – WorkBC
