Welcome to the Passages to Canada Speakers' Bureau, a diverse group of over 600 immigrants and refugees who volunteer to share their experiences with youth and community groups. Click here to find Passages speakers in your area!

The Bureau consists of 3 specialized Modules, each addressing a different aspect of the immigrant experience.

Immigration/Refugee: Immigrants and refugees who have made a significant contribution to the community share their stories of coming to Canada with youth and new Canadians.

Anti-Racism: Immigrants/refugee members with a commitment to anti-racism work share their experiences and encourage youth to speak out against racism.

Employer: Businesspeople who have developed effective diversity strategies speak about their experiences and present a summary of best practices developed by the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council (TRIEC). The TRIEC study demonstrates how employers currently integrate immigrants into their workforces and how their businesses have benefited as a result. The summary provides insight into the challenges and opportunities available to employers who are drawing on the strong pool of talent among new immigrants.

A number of immigrant Members of Parliament are currently members of the Speakers' Bureau. Find out who they are.
