How Welcome Talent Canada is Different

The only national mentorship program for refugees in Canada

The program is exclusively tailored for newly settled refugees, to support them in overcoming the unique barriers they face

Refugees and Canadian professionals are carefully hand-matched to ensure there is great fit between their professional backgrounds

Mentors and mentees both receive intake interviews prior to being matched to ensure expectations and commitments are clear

We provide ongoing support, from facilitating the first meeting to ongoing monthly check-ins, to ensure a rewarding mentorship experience for both parties

Our mentorship action plan goes beyond mentor coaching—it places emphasis on expanding professional networksgiven the importance of networks in securing employment
