WHAT IS THE DESTINATION CANADA MOBILITY FORUM & Canada Mobility Days?

The Destination Canada Mobility Forum is an annual hiring event connecting workers in France, Tunisia, Morocco, Belgium, and other French-speaking countries with Canadian employers. Organized by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Canadian Embassy to France, it’s part of the Francophone Mobility Program.

The BCHA attends the Forum on behalf of participating hotels interested in connecting with Francophone and bilingual workers. It’s a great opportunity for BC hotels to connect with qualified candidates seeking new opportunities in Canada. These candidates benefit from speaking with our team about potential work opportunities and employers, immigration programs, and accessing tools and resources that prepare them for the Canadian job market.

Each participating hotel receives access to pre-screened pool of candidates, their resumes, and a written summary of the conversation that took place at the Forum.

Pricing Per Property:

  • $1,500 +GST – Participate in any one event 
  • $2,000 +GST – Access all events 

Three Jobs orders per registration, unlimited positions for each.

Additional Details

  • BCHA representatives meet with job seekers and explain the pathways to come to Canada and answer candidates’ questions. We meet hundreds of candidates in person and evaluate their skills and experience to meet job orders from participating hotels.
  • Through the Francophone Mobility Program, skilled and unskilled workers will be able to obtain work permits. This program does not require an employer to apply for an LMIA.
  • The workers that do not qualify for this program can still come to Canada but will require an approved LMIA. Work permits for both these programs would be issued for 2 years and are employer-specific.
  • Workers may also be eligible for a working-holiday permit (also LMIA exempt) depending on their citizenship and would be issued an open work permit for minimum of 1 year.

Expand your talent pool today!
