Sargent Farms LtdFEATURED RENEWING MEMBER
Given Road West CommunicationsFEATURED NEW MEMBER
The story of Sargent Farms began in 1952 when founding members David and Olive Sargent purchased property in the town of Milton and built a small processing facility for both egg grading and poultry processing Over time other members of the Sargent family became involved in the business with David and Oliversquos two sons Tom and Bob slowly taking over operations
In 1993 Sargent Farms was remodeled specifically for poultry processing For the past 23 years Sargent Farms has forged its competitive advantage on the simplest and most important of elements the strength of people and the force of personal service The third generation of Sargentrsquos now actively involved in
the business proudly continue to uphold those same values which have and continue to make the company successful
Today the company has grown to employ over 230 individuals many of whom reside in Milton and surrounding area Staying true to their small town family values Sargent Farms strives to be a good neighbor supporting many local initiatives such as the Milton District Hospital Foundation the Mayorrsquos Golf Tournament for United Way and Milton Canada Day celebrations
Recently the company expanded to a second location in Mississauga where it does value added further processing which has enabled the company to continue to meet the growing needs
of its ever expanding group of loyal customersCompeting against much larger and in some
cases multinational companies the company found its niche in processing its chicken in accordance with standards required to meet the growing demand of consumers who require their chicken to be halal The company also takes great pride in sourcing the chicken it processes exclusively from local family farmers
A recent project has been the opening of a new retail store located at 181 Mill Street Open Tuesday through Saturday the public can now purchase directly from Sargent Farms where they can be confident they are buying fresh quality chicken

ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Ontariorsquos Skills Gap Widens by 9The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
released the report Passport to Prosperity Ontariorsquos Priorities for Immigration Reform which presents a series of recommendations designed to reduce Ontariorsquos costly skills gap and improve the labour outcomes of immigrants in the province
According to a 2016 OCC membership survey the skills gap in Ontario is worsening In fact the survey found that 39 percent of employers experienced difficulty filling a job opening over the last 12 to 18 months because they could not find someone with the right qualifications This represents a 9 percent increase from survey data on the same question first reported by the OCC in 2014
ldquoAddressing the skills gap has been a key priority of our membership over the past five yearsrdquo said Allan OrsquoDette President and CEO of the OCC ldquoWe recognize that there is a golden opportunity for employers and government to work together to ensure that our provincersquos employers have access to the best and the brightest talent in the world and similarly that new market entrants in Ontario have access to opportunities that align with their unique skillsetsrdquo
At the same time the evidence suggests that Ontario can do a better job of leveraging the skills and global connections of new Ontarians Immigrants to Ontario experience poor labour market outcomes relative to their Canadian-born peers Only 57 percent of recently arrived post-secondary educated
immigrants to Ontario are actually working in high-skill jobs In comparison 77 percent of people born in Canada with post-secondary education are working in high-skill jobs
ldquoCanada is home to some of the most talented people in the world Our diversity is one of our greatest competitive advantages This is especially the case in Ontario as we have the highest newcomer population in the countryrdquo said Karl Baldauf Vice President Policy and Government Relations at the OCC ldquoOntario possesses an unlimited amount of innovative potential and if our talent pool is engaged effectively we can lead the world in employment and economic growthrdquo
To improve the labour market outcomes of immigrants and to ensure that Ontario businesses are able to effectively leverage the talents and global connections of its workforce the OCC recommends that the Government of Canada take action in accordance to the following three priority areas
1 Address barriers to opportunity within the selection system
2 Prioritize the attraction and retention of international students and
3 Improve the coordination of labour market integration and settlement services
4 The OCC will continue to engage the provincial and federal governments on behalf of the Ontario business community to ensure the future prosperity of our population

Sargent Farms LtdFEATURED RENEWING MEMBER
Given Road West CommunicationsFEATURED NEW MEMBER
The story of Sargent Farms began in 1952 when founding members David and Olive Sargent purchased property in the town of Milton and built a small processing facility for both egg grading and poultry processing Over time other members of the Sargent family became involved in the business with David and Oliversquos two sons Tom and Bob slowly taking over operations
In 1993 Sargent Farms was remodeled specifically for poultry processing For the past 23 years Sargent Farms has forged its competitive advantage on the simplest and most important of elements the strength of people and the force of personal service The third generation of Sargentrsquos now actively involved in
the business proudly continue to uphold those same values which have and continue to make the company successful
Today the company has grown to employ over 230 individuals many of whom reside in Milton and surrounding area Staying true to their small town family values Sargent Farms strives to be a good neighbor supporting many local initiatives such as the Milton District Hospital Foundation the Mayorrsquos Golf Tournament for United Way and Milton Canada Day celebrations
Recently the company expanded to a second location in Mississauga where it does value added further processing which has enabled the company to continue to meet the growing needs
of its ever expanding group of loyal customersCompeting against much larger and in some
cases multinational companies the company found its niche in processing its chicken in accordance with standards required to meet the growing demand of consumers who require their chicken to be halal The company also takes great pride in sourcing the chicken it processes exclusively from local family farmers
A recent project has been the opening of a new retail store located at 181 Mill Street Open Tuesday through Saturday the public can now purchase directly from Sargent Farms where they can be confident they are buying fresh quality chicken

ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Ontariorsquos Skills Gap Widens by 9The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
released the report Passport to Prosperity Ontariorsquos Priorities for Immigration Reform which presents a series of recommendations designed to reduce Ontariorsquos costly skills gap and improve the labour outcomes of immigrants in the province
According to a 2016 OCC membership survey the skills gap in Ontario is worsening In fact the survey found that 39 percent of employers experienced difficulty filling a job opening over the last 12 to 18 months because they could not find someone with the right qualifications This represents a 9 percent increase from survey data on the same question first reported by the OCC in 2014
ldquoAddressing the skills gap has been a key priority of our membership over the past five yearsrdquo said Allan OrsquoDette President and CEO of the OCC ldquoWe recognize that there is a golden opportunity for employers and government to work together to ensure that our provincersquos employers have access to the best and the brightest talent in the world and similarly that new market entrants in Ontario have access to opportunities that align with their unique skillsetsrdquo
At the same time the evidence suggests that Ontario can do a better job of leveraging the skills and global connections of new Ontarians Immigrants to Ontario experience poor labour market outcomes relative to their Canadian-born peers Only 57 percent of recently arrived post-secondary educated
immigrants to Ontario are actually working in high-skill jobs In comparison 77 percent of people born in Canada with post-secondary education are working in high-skill jobs
ldquoCanada is home to some of the most talented people in the world Our diversity is one of our greatest competitive advantages This is especially the case in Ontario as we have the highest newcomer population in the countryrdquo said Karl Baldauf Vice President Policy and Government Relations at the OCC ldquoOntario possesses an unlimited amount of innovative potential and if our talent pool is engaged effectively we can lead the world in employment and economic growthrdquo
To improve the labour market outcomes of immigrants and to ensure that Ontario businesses are able to effectively leverage the talents and global connections of its workforce the OCC recommends that the Government of Canada take action in accordance to the following three priority areas
1 Address barriers to opportunity within the selection system
2 Prioritize the attraction and retention of international students and
3 Improve the coordination of labour market integration and settlement services
4 The OCC will continue to engage the provincial and federal governments on behalf of the Ontario business community to ensure the future prosperity of our population

Sargent Farms LtdFEATURED RENEWING MEMBER
Given Road West CommunicationsFEATURED NEW MEMBER
The story of Sargent Farms began in 1952 when founding members David and Olive Sargent purchased property in the town of Milton and built a small processing facility for both egg grading and poultry processing Over time other members of the Sargent family became involved in the business with David and Oliversquos two sons Tom and Bob slowly taking over operations
In 1993 Sargent Farms was remodeled specifically for poultry processing For the past 23 years Sargent Farms has forged its competitive advantage on the simplest and most important of elements the strength of people and the force of personal service The third generation of Sargentrsquos now actively involved in
the business proudly continue to uphold those same values which have and continue to make the company successful
Today the company has grown to employ over 230 individuals many of whom reside in Milton and surrounding area Staying true to their small town family values Sargent Farms strives to be a good neighbor supporting many local initiatives such as the Milton District Hospital Foundation the Mayorrsquos Golf Tournament for United Way and Milton Canada Day celebrations
Recently the company expanded to a second location in Mississauga where it does value added further processing which has enabled the company to continue to meet the growing needs
of its ever expanding group of loyal customersCompeting against much larger and in some
cases multinational companies the company found its niche in processing its chicken in accordance with standards required to meet the growing demand of consumers who require their chicken to be halal The company also takes great pride in sourcing the chicken it processes exclusively from local family farmers
A recent project has been the opening of a new retail store located at 181 Mill Street Open Tuesday through Saturday the public can now purchase directly from Sargent Farms where they can be confident they are buying fresh quality chicken

ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Ontariorsquos Skills Gap Widens by 9The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
released the report Passport to Prosperity Ontariorsquos Priorities for Immigration Reform which presents a series of recommendations designed to reduce Ontariorsquos costly skills gap and improve the labour outcomes of immigrants in the province
According to a 2016 OCC membership survey the skills gap in Ontario is worsening In fact the survey found that 39 percent of employers experienced difficulty filling a job opening over the last 12 to 18 months because they could not find someone with the right qualifications This represents a 9 percent increase from survey data on the same question first reported by the OCC in 2014
ldquoAddressing the skills gap has been a key priority of our membership over the past five yearsrdquo said Allan OrsquoDette President and CEO of the OCC ldquoWe recognize that there is a golden opportunity for employers and government to work together to ensure that our provincersquos employers have access to the best and the brightest talent in the world and similarly that new market entrants in Ontario have access to opportunities that align with their unique skillsetsrdquo
At the same time the evidence suggests that Ontario can do a better job of leveraging the skills and global connections of new Ontarians Immigrants to Ontario experience poor labour market outcomes relative to their Canadian-born peers Only 57 percent of recently arrived post-secondary educated
immigrants to Ontario are actually working in high-skill jobs In comparison 77 percent of people born in Canada with post-secondary education are working in high-skill jobs
ldquoCanada is home to some of the most talented people in the world Our diversity is one of our greatest competitive advantages This is especially the case in Ontario as we have the highest newcomer population in the countryrdquo said Karl Baldauf Vice President Policy and Government Relations at the OCC ldquoOntario possesses an unlimited amount of innovative potential and if our talent pool is engaged effectively we can lead the world in employment and economic growthrdquo
To improve the labour market outcomes of immigrants and to ensure that Ontario businesses are able to effectively leverage the talents and global connections of its workforce the OCC recommends that the Government of Canada take action in accordance to the following three priority areas
1 Address barriers to opportunity within the selection system
2 Prioritize the attraction and retention of international students and
3 Improve the coordination of labour market integration and settlement services
4 The OCC will continue to engage the provincial and federal governments on behalf of the Ontario business community to ensure the future prosperity of our population

Sargent Farms LtdFEATURED RENEWING MEMBER
Given Road West CommunicationsFEATURED NEW MEMBER
The story of Sargent Farms began in 1952 when founding members David and Olive Sargent purchased property in the town of Milton and built a small processing facility for both egg grading and poultry processing Over time other members of the Sargent family became involved in the business with David and Oliversquos two sons Tom and Bob slowly taking over operations
In 1993 Sargent Farms was remodeled specifically for poultry processing For the past 23 years Sargent Farms has forged its competitive advantage on the simplest and most important of elements the strength of people and the force of personal service The third generation of Sargentrsquos now actively involved in
the business proudly continue to uphold those same values which have and continue to make the company successful
Today the company has grown to employ over 230 individuals many of whom reside in Milton and surrounding area Staying true to their small town family values Sargent Farms strives to be a good neighbor supporting many local initiatives such as the Milton District Hospital Foundation the Mayorrsquos Golf Tournament for United Way and Milton Canada Day celebrations
Recently the company expanded to a second location in Mississauga where it does value added further processing which has enabled the company to continue to meet the growing needs
of its ever expanding group of loyal customersCompeting against much larger and in some
cases multinational companies the company found its niche in processing its chicken in accordance with standards required to meet the growing demand of consumers who require their chicken to be halal The company also takes great pride in sourcing the chicken it processes exclusively from local family farmers
A recent project has been the opening of a new retail store located at 181 Mill Street Open Tuesday through Saturday the public can now purchase directly from Sargent Farms where they can be confident they are buying fresh quality chicken

ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Ontariorsquos Skills Gap Widens by 9The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
released the report Passport to Prosperity Ontariorsquos Priorities for Immigration Reform which presents a series of recommendations designed to reduce Ontariorsquos costly skills gap and improve the labour outcomes of immigrants in the province
According to a 2016 OCC membership survey the skills gap in Ontario is worsening In fact the survey found that 39 percent of employers experienced difficulty filling a job opening over the last 12 to 18 months because they could not find someone with the right qualifications This represents a 9 percent increase from survey data on the same question first reported by the OCC in 2014
ldquoAddressing the skills gap has been a key priority of our membership over the past five yearsrdquo said Allan OrsquoDette President and CEO of the OCC ldquoWe recognize that there is a golden opportunity for employers and government to work together to ensure that our provincersquos employers have access to the best and the brightest talent in the world and similarly that new market entrants in Ontario have access to opportunities that align with their unique skillsetsrdquo
At the same time the evidence suggests that Ontario can do a better job of leveraging the skills and global connections of new Ontarians Immigrants to Ontario experience poor labour market outcomes relative to their Canadian-born peers Only 57 percent of recently arrived post-secondary educated
immigrants to Ontario are actually working in high-skill jobs In comparison 77 percent of people born in Canada with post-secondary education are working in high-skill jobs
ldquoCanada is home to some of the most talented people in the world Our diversity is one of our greatest competitive advantages This is especially the case in Ontario as we have the highest newcomer population in the countryrdquo said Karl Baldauf Vice President Policy and Government Relations at the OCC ldquoOntario possesses an unlimited amount of innovative potential and if our talent pool is engaged effectively we can lead the world in employment and economic growthrdquo
To improve the labour market outcomes of immigrants and to ensure that Ontario businesses are able to effectively leverage the talents and global connections of its workforce the OCC recommends that the Government of Canada take action in accordance to the following three priority areas
1 Address barriers to opportunity within the selection system
2 Prioritize the attraction and retention of international students and
3 Improve the coordination of labour market integration and settlement services
4 The OCC will continue to engage the provincial and federal governments on behalf of the Ontario business community to ensure the future prosperity of our population

Sargent Farms LtdFEATURED RENEWING MEMBER
Given Road West CommunicationsFEATURED NEW MEMBER
The story of Sargent Farms began in 1952 when founding members David and Olive Sargent purchased property in the town of Milton and built a small processing facility for both egg grading and poultry processing Over time other members of the Sargent family became involved in the business with David and Oliversquos two sons Tom and Bob slowly taking over operations
In 1993 Sargent Farms was remodeled specifically for poultry processing For the past 23 years Sargent Farms has forged its competitive advantage on the simplest and most important of elements the strength of people and the force of personal service The third generation of Sargentrsquos now actively involved in

Recently the company expanded to a second location in Mississauga where it does value added further processing which has enabled the company to continue to meet the growing needs
of its ever expanding group of loyal customersCompeting against much larger and in some
cases multinational companies the company found its niche in processing its chicken in accordance with standards required to meet the growing demand of consumers who require their chicken to be halal The company also takes great pride in sourcing the chicken it processes exclusively from local family farmers
A recent project has been the opening of a new retail store located at 181 Mill Street Open Tuesday through Saturday the public can now purchase directly from Sargent Farms where they can be confident they are buying fresh quality chicken

ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Ontariorsquos Skills Gap Widens by 9The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
released the report Passport to Prosperity Ontariorsquos Priorities for Immigration Reform which presents a series of recommendations designed to reduce Ontariorsquos costly skills gap and improve the labour outcomes of immigrants in the province
According to a 2016 OCC membership survey the skills gap in Ontario is worsening In fact the survey found that 39 percent of employers experienced difficulty filling a job opening over the last 12 to 18 months because they could not find someone with the right qualifications This represents a 9 percent increase from survey data on the same question first reported by the OCC in 2014
ldquoAddressing the skills gap has been a key priority of our membership over the past five yearsrdquo said Allan OrsquoDette President and CEO of the OCC ldquoWe recognize that there is a golden opportunity for employers and government to work together to ensure that our provincersquos employers have access to the best and the brightest talent in the world and similarly that new market entrants in Ontario have access to opportunities that align with their unique skillsetsrdquo
At the same time the evidence suggests that Ontario can do a better job of leveraging the skills and global connections of new Ontarians Immigrants to Ontario experience poor labour market outcomes relative to their Canadian-born peers Only 57 percent of recently arrived post-secondary educated
immigrants to Ontario are actually working in high-skill jobs In comparison 77 percent of people born in Canada with post-secondary education are working in high-skill jobs
ldquoCanada is home to some of the most talented people in the world Our diversity is one of our greatest competitive advantages This is especially the case in Ontario as we have the highest newcomer population in the countryrdquo said Karl Baldauf Vice President Policy and Government Relations at the OCC ldquoOntario possesses an unlimited amount of innovative potential and if our talent pool is engaged effectively we can lead the world in employment and economic growthrdquo
To improve the labour market outcomes of immigrants and to ensure that Ontario businesses are able to effectively leverage the talents and global connections of its workforce the OCC recommends that the Government of Canada take action in accordance to the following three priority areas
1 Address barriers to opportunity within the selection system
2 Prioritize the attraction and retention of international students and
3 Improve the coordination of labour market integration and settlement services
4 The OCC will continue to engage the provincial and federal governments on behalf of the Ontario business community to ensure the future prosperity of our population

Given Road West CommunicationsFEATURED NEW MEMBER
The story of Sargent Farms began in 1952 when founding members David and Olive Sargent purchased property in the town of Milton and built a small processing facility for both egg grading and poultry processing Over time other members of the Sargent family became involved in the business with David and Oliversquos two sons Tom and Bob slowly taking over operations
In 1993 Sargent Farms was remodeled specifically for poultry processing For the past 23 years Sargent Farms has forged its competitive advantage on the simplest and most important of elements the strength of people and the force of personal service The third generation of Sargentrsquos now actively involved in

Recently the company expanded to a second location in Mississauga where it does value added further processing which has enabled the company to continue to meet the growing needs
of its ever expanding group of loyal customersCompeting against much larger and in some
cases multinational companies the company found its niche in processing its chicken in accordance with standards required to meet the growing demand of consumers who require their chicken to be halal The company also takes great pride in sourcing the chicken it processes exclusively from local family farmers
A recent project has been the opening of a new retail store located at 181 Mill Street Open Tuesday through Saturday the public can now purchase directly from Sargent Farms where they can be confident they are buying fresh quality chicken

ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Ontariorsquos Skills Gap Widens by 9The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
released the report Passport to Prosperity Ontariorsquos Priorities for Immigration Reform which presents a series of recommendations designed to reduce Ontariorsquos costly skills gap and improve the labour outcomes of immigrants in the province
According to a 2016 OCC membership survey the skills gap in Ontario is worsening In fact the survey found that 39 percent of employers experienced difficulty filling a job opening over the last 12 to 18 months because they could not find someone with the right qualifications This represents a 9 percent increase from survey data on the same question first reported by the OCC in 2014
ldquoAddressing the skills gap has been a key priority of our membership over the past five yearsrdquo said Allan OrsquoDette President and CEO of the OCC ldquoWe recognize that there is a golden opportunity for employers and government to work together to ensure that our provincersquos employers have access to the best and the brightest talent in the world and similarly that new market entrants in Ontario have access to opportunities that align with their unique skillsetsrdquo
At the same time the evidence suggests that Ontario can do a better job of leveraging the skills and global connections of new Ontarians Immigrants to Ontario experience poor labour market outcomes relative to their Canadian-born peers Only 57 percent of recently arrived post-secondary educated
immigrants to Ontario are actually working in high-skill jobs In comparison 77 percent of people born in Canada with post-secondary education are working in high-skill jobs
ldquoCanada is home to some of the most talented people in the world Our diversity is one of our greatest competitive advantages This is especially the case in Ontario as we have the highest newcomer population in the countryrdquo said Karl Baldauf Vice President Policy and Government Relations at the OCC ldquoOntario possesses an unlimited amount of innovative potential and if our talent pool is engaged effectively we can lead the world in employment and economic growthrdquo
To improve the labour market outcomes of immigrants and to ensure that Ontario businesses are able to effectively leverage the talents and global connections of its workforce the OCC recommends that the Government of Canada take action in accordance to the following three priority areas
1 Address barriers to opportunity within the selection system
2 Prioritize the attraction and retention of international students and
3 Improve the coordination of labour market integration and settlement services
4 The OCC will continue to engage the provincial and federal governments on behalf of the Ontario business community to ensure the future prosperity of our population

ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Ontariorsquos Skills Gap Widens by 9The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
released the report Passport to Prosperity Ontariorsquos Priorities for Immigration Reform which presents a series of recommendations designed to reduce Ontariorsquos costly skills gap and improve the labour outcomes of immigrants in the province
According to a 2016 OCC membership survey the skills gap in Ontario is worsening In fact the survey found that 39 percent of employers experienced difficulty filling a job opening over the last 12 to 18 months because they could not find someone with the right qualifications This represents a 9 percent increase from survey data on the same question first reported by the OCC in 2014
ldquoAddressing the skills gap has been a key priority of our membership over the past five yearsrdquo said Allan OrsquoDette President and CEO of the OCC ldquoWe recognize that there is a golden opportunity for employers and government to work together to ensure that our provincersquos employers have access to the best and the brightest talent in the world and similarly that new market entrants in Ontario have access to opportunities that align with their unique skillsetsrdquo
At the same time the evidence suggests that Ontario can do a better job of leveraging the skills and global connections of new Ontarians Immigrants to Ontario experience poor labour market outcomes relative to their Canadian-born peers Only 57 percent of recently arrived post-secondary educated
immigrants to Ontario are actually working in high-skill jobs In comparison 77 percent of people born in Canada with post-secondary education are working in high-skill jobs
ldquoCanada is home to some of the most talented people in the world Our diversity is one of our greatest competitive advantages This is especially the case in Ontario as we have the highest newcomer population in the countryrdquo said Karl Baldauf Vice President Policy and Government Relations at the OCC ldquoOntario possesses an unlimited amount of innovative potential and if our talent pool is engaged effectively we can lead the world in employment and economic growthrdquo
To improve the labour market outcomes of immigrants and to ensure that Ontario businesses are able to effectively leverage the talents and global connections of its workforce the OCC recommends that the Government of Canada take action in accordance to the following three priority areas
1 Address barriers to opportunity within the selection system
2 Prioritize the attraction and retention of international students and
3 Improve the coordination of labour market integration and settlement services
4 The OCC will continue to engage the provincial and federal governments on behalf of the Ontario business community to ensure the future prosperity of our population

ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Ontariorsquos Skills Gap Widens by 9The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
released the report Passport to Prosperity Ontariorsquos Priorities for Immigration Reform which presents a series of recommendations designed to reduce Ontariorsquos costly skills gap and improve the labour outcomes of immigrants in the province
According to a 2016 OCC membership survey the skills gap in Ontario is worsening In fact the survey found that 39 percent of employers experienced difficulty filling a job opening over the last 12 to 18 months because they could not find someone with the right qualifications This represents a 9 percent increase from survey data on the same question first reported by the OCC in 2014
ldquoAddressing the skills gap has been a key priority of our membership over the past five yearsrdquo said Allan OrsquoDette President and CEO of the OCC ldquoWe recognize that there is a golden opportunity for employers and government to work together to ensure that our provincersquos employers have access to the best and the brightest talent in the world and similarly that new market entrants in Ontario have access to opportunities that align with their unique skillsetsrdquo
At the same time the evidence suggests that Ontario can do a better job of leveraging the skills and global connections of new Ontarians Immigrants to Ontario experience poor labour market outcomes relative to their Canadian-born peers Only 57 percent of recently arrived post-secondary educated
immigrants to Ontario are actually working in high-skill jobs In comparison 77 percent of people born in Canada with post-secondary education are working in high-skill jobs
ldquoCanada is home to some of the most talented people in the world Our diversity is one of our greatest competitive advantages This is especially the case in Ontario as we have the highest newcomer population in the countryrdquo said Karl Baldauf Vice President Policy and Government Relations at the OCC ldquoOntario possesses an unlimited amount of innovative potential and if our talent pool is engaged effectively we can lead the world in employment and economic growthrdquo
To improve the labour market outcomes of immigrants and to ensure that Ontario businesses are able to effectively leverage the talents and global connections of its workforce the OCC recommends that the Government of Canada take action in accordance to the following three priority areas
1 Address barriers to opportunity within the selection system
2 Prioritize the attraction and retention of international students and
3 Improve the coordination of labour market integration and settlement services
4 The OCC will continue to engage the provincial and federal governments on behalf of the Ontario business community to ensure the future prosperity of our population

ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Ontariorsquos Skills Gap Widens by 9The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
released the report Passport to Prosperity Ontariorsquos Priorities for Immigration Reform which presents a series of recommendations designed to reduce Ontariorsquos costly skills gap and improve the labour outcomes of immigrants in the province
According to a 2016 OCC membership survey the skills gap in Ontario is worsening In fact the survey found that 39 percent of employers experienced difficulty filling a job opening over the last 12 to 18 months because they could not find someone with the right qualifications This represents a 9 percent increase from survey data on the same question first reported by the OCC in 2014
ldquoAddressing the skills gap has been a key priority of our membership over the past five yearsrdquo said Allan OrsquoDette President and CEO of the OCC ldquoWe recognize that there is a golden opportunity for employers and government to work together to ensure that our provincersquos employers have access to the best and the brightest talent in the world and similarly that new market entrants in Ontario have access to opportunities that align with their unique skillsetsrdquo
At the same time the evidence suggests that Ontario can do a better job of leveraging the skills and global connections of new Ontarians Immigrants to Ontario experience poor labour market outcomes relative to their Canadian-born peers Only 57 percent of recently arrived post-secondary educated
immigrants to Ontario are actually working in high-skill jobs In comparison 77 percent of people born in Canada with post-secondary education are working in high-skill jobs
ldquoCanada is home to some of the most talented people in the world Our diversity is one of our greatest competitive advantages This is especially the case in Ontario as we have the highest newcomer population in the countryrdquo said Karl Baldauf Vice President Policy and Government Relations at the OCC ldquoOntario possesses an unlimited amount of innovative potential and if our talent pool is engaged effectively we can lead the world in employment and economic growthrdquo
To improve the labour market outcomes of immigrants and to ensure that Ontario businesses are able to effectively leverage the talents and global connections of its workforce the OCC recommends that the Government of Canada take action in accordance to the following three priority areas
1 Address barriers to opportunity within the selection system
2 Prioritize the attraction and retention of international students and
3 Improve the coordination of labour market integration and settlement services
4 The OCC will continue to engage the provincial and federal governments on behalf of the Ontario business community to ensure the future prosperity of our population

ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Ontariorsquos Skills Gap Widens by 9The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
released the report Passport to Prosperity Ontariorsquos Priorities for Immigration Reform which presents a series of recommendations designed to reduce Ontariorsquos costly skills gap and improve the labour outcomes of immigrants in the province
According to a 2016 OCC membership survey the skills gap in Ontario is worsening In fact the survey found that 39 percent of employers experienced difficulty filling a job opening over the last 12 to 18 months because they could not find someone with the right qualifications This represents a 9 percent increase from survey data on the same question first reported by the OCC in 2014
ldquoAddressing the skills gap has been a key priority of our membership over the past five yearsrdquo said Allan OrsquoDette President and CEO of the OCC ldquoWe recognize that there is a golden opportunity for employers and government to work together to ensure that our provincersquos employers have access to the best and the brightest talent in the world and similarly that new market entrants in Ontario have access to opportunities that align with their unique skillsetsrdquo
At the same time the evidence suggests that Ontario can do a better job of leveraging the skills and global connections of new Ontarians Immigrants to Ontario experience poor labour market outcomes relative to their Canadian-born peers Only 57 percent of recently arrived post-secondary educated
immigrants to Ontario are actually working in high-skill jobs In comparison 77 percent of people born in Canada with post-secondary education are working in high-skill jobs
ldquoCanada is home to some of the most talented people in the world Our diversity is one of our greatest competitive advantages This is especially the case in Ontario as we have the highest newcomer population in the countryrdquo said Karl Baldauf Vice President Policy and Government Relations at the OCC ldquoOntario possesses an unlimited amount of innovative potential and if our talent pool is engaged effectively we can lead the world in employment and economic growthrdquo
To improve the labour market outcomes of immigrants and to ensure that Ontario businesses are able to effectively leverage the talents and global connections of its workforce the OCC recommends that the Government of Canada take action in accordance to the following three priority areas
1 Address barriers to opportunity within the selection system
2 Prioritize the attraction and retention of international students and
3 Improve the coordination of labour market integration and settlement services
4 The OCC will continue to engage the provincial and federal governments on behalf of the Ontario business community to ensure the future prosperity of our population

ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Ontariorsquos Skills Gap Widens by 9The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
released the report Passport to Prosperity Ontariorsquos Priorities for Immigration Reform which presents a series of recommendations designed to reduce Ontariorsquos costly skills gap and improve the labour outcomes of immigrants in the province
According to a 2016 OCC membership survey the skills gap in Ontario is worsening In fact the survey found that 39 percent of employers experienced difficulty filling a job opening over the last 12 to 18 months because they could not find someone with the right qualifications This represents a 9 percent increase from survey data on the same question first reported by the OCC in 2014
ldquoAddressing the skills gap has been a key priority of our membership over the past five yearsrdquo said Allan OrsquoDette President and CEO of the OCC ldquoWe recognize that there is a golden opportunity for employers and government to work together to ensure that our provincersquos employers have access to the best and the brightest talent in the world and similarly that new market entrants in Ontario have access to opportunities that align with their unique skillsetsrdquo
At the same time the evidence suggests that Ontario can do a better job of leveraging the skills and global connections of new Ontarians Immigrants to Ontario experience poor labour market outcomes relative to their Canadian-born peers Only 57 percent of recently arrived post-secondary educated
immigrants to Ontario are actually working in high-skill jobs In comparison 77 percent of people born in Canada with post-secondary education are working in high-skill jobs
ldquoCanada is home to some of the most talented people in the world Our diversity is one of our greatest competitive advantages This is especially the case in Ontario as we have the highest newcomer population in the countryrdquo said Karl Baldauf Vice President Policy and Government Relations at the OCC ldquoOntario possesses an unlimited amount of innovative potential and if our talent pool is engaged effectively we can lead the world in employment and economic growthrdquo
To improve the labour market outcomes of immigrants and to ensure that Ontario businesses are able to effectively leverage the talents and global connections of its workforce the OCC recommends that the Government of Canada take action in accordance to the following three priority areas
1 Address barriers to opportunity within the selection system
2 Prioritize the attraction and retention of international students and
3 Improve the coordination of labour market integration and settlement services
4 The OCC will continue to engage the provincial and federal governments on behalf of the Ontario business community to ensure the future prosperity of our population
