Connecting with cultural networks that provide resources and the right mentor who can help a newcomer navigate Canada\u2019s immigration and education systems is a critical part of the solution, but Srinarayanathas called for greater engagement on the part of employers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe missing piece lies with upskilling the knowledge and awareness of employers who are seeking to hire these newcomers,\u201d said Srinarayanathas. \u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous that highly educated people have to go through the process all over again when so many Canadian sectors are in desperate need of qualified, skilled labour and talent. Health care workers should not have to go to career colleges when they arrive in Canada, they should be going to work in hospitals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pedro Barata, executive director at the <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fsc-ccf.ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Future Skills Centre<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, argued that Canada\u2019s entrenched and complex certification body ecosystem is \u2018gatekeeping\u2019 and in need of systemic disruption given the rising influx of newcomeing professionals seeking work experience. He cited <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/news.ontario.ca\/en\/release\/1003079\/ontario-removing-unfair-work-barriers-for-skilled-newcomers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Ontario government\u2019s recent decision<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to ban regulated professions from requiring Canadian work experience in more than 30 occupations as a critical step forward in creating a more equitable system, and called for more reform and innovation particularly in pre-arrival assessment systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cImmigration is going to be Canada\u2019s main population and economic growth driver within a decade, and we need to be doing more in terms of informing newcomers, and creating more streamlined, individually-based diagnoses and linkages using emerging digital platforms if we\u2019re going to keep up,\u201d said Barata. \u201cPost-secondary institutions need to think beyond simply welcoming students, charging them lots of money then sending them off with a degree. They need to make the distinction between international students and newcomers, and engage with employers to understand what their skills needs really are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ana Serrano, president of OCAD University, emphasized that the main challenge to social mobility newcomers face when they first arrive stems from a lack of investment in a public higher education system that prioritizes micro-credential stacking programs as much as four-year Bachelor\u2019s degrees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat\u2019s missing from a lot of newcomer initiatives is the notion of reciprocity, and understanding that we have something to give newcomers in the same way that they offer what we\u2019re in need of,\u201d said Serrano. \u201cWe need to be more intentional about fostering democratic spaces that are about meaningful and value-laden inclusion, and create a community that honours everyone\u2019s contributions, whether products or experiences, to our country\u2019s future prosperity.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Chika Stacy Oriuwa, resident physician at the University of Toronto\u2013\u201cthe only Black medical student in my class,\u201d she added\u2013and a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maclean<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s Power List honouree, delved into her own personal and cultural experiences as a second-generation Canadian.

At OCAD, we have a community of practice where we train each other on tools and roll out capacity through every faculty to provide engaged, embodied learning.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAI can be great for augmenting education, but over-relying on it can exacerbate existing inequalities, especially for students already facing accessibility challenges,\u201d said ter Haar. \u201cIt\u2019s essential that thought leaders advocate for inclusive, diverse and affordable practices, and work jointly with policy makers to develop technology and education policies that bridge the digital divide.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere\u2019s an opportunity for AI to address socioeconomic gaps, so it\u2019s important to be a part of conversation and identify opportunities, persistent gaps around education for under-represented groups,\u201d said Senior. \u201cAs we\u2019ve been holding on to what\u2019s always been done, those at the margins haven\u2019t been successful in getting into the core. AI could prevent that through greater enablement, but we want to be sure that people in remote or racialized communities have equipment and access to learning to be full participants.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>SIGN UP TO READ THE BEST OF MACLEAN\u2019S:<br \/>Get our top stories sent directly to your inbox twice a week<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"auto\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1256776 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TDS_3114-2560x1707.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TDS_3114-2560x1707.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TDS_3114-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TDS_3114-843x562.jpg 843w, https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TDS_3114-1000x667.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
