Welcoming Newcomers to Canada

We originally created the Newcomer Program in celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary. It was our way of honouring our co-founder Toni Guimaraes while recognizing the unique – and often difficult – journey that new Canadians take to find employment here.
‍
Today at Altis, we place more than 8,000 candidates per year and yet we are still seeing a noticeable gap between the number of highly skilled immigrants that interview versus how many are hired. We recognized an opportunity to act and decided to use our position as a staffing firm to do more.

Since the program’s inception in November 2020, we’ve continued to refine and adjust it to provide even more value to each new cohort. We’re extremely committed to this program and excited to continue growing it. Our long-term goal is to highlight to employers that Canadian experience doesn’t necessarily mean “better” experience.
