Each year, the RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrant Awards&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/canadianimmigrant.ca\/canadas-top-25-immigrants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">celebrates the achievements and contributions of immigrants in Canada<\/a>, and this year marks a new award that recognizes organizations that provide outstanding settlement services and support to newcomers in Canada. Upon receiving the award, Patricia Woroch, CEO of ISSofBC, said &#8220;We are very proud to be contributing to making Canada the wonderful, diverse country that it is&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the many success stories of ISSofBC is their support of a booming Syrian food services company in Vancouver called Tayybeh. From humble beginnings in 2016 as a pop-up dinner refugees would cook and gather to say thank you to their new community, today Tayybeh: A Celebration of Syrian Cuisine, has grown into what&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saveur.com\/tayybeh-vancouver-immigrant-dinner-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saveur magazine<\/a> calls a &#8220;wildly popular&#8221; event and catering service, &#8220;powered by immigrants and [that] sells out 150-seat meals in hours.&#8221; Woroch says, &#8220;The chefs at Tayybeh are women who came to Canada as refugees with their families, and who are now showcasing authentic dishes from their home towns in Syria, while at the same time achieving financial independence&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/1952715-IMG_4432-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15313\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helping Newcomers Settle In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNew arrivals to Canada can face the twin challenges of social integration \u2014 leaving a life full of family and friends behind \u2014 and professional integration \u2014 continuing careers they started in their countries of origin. At ISSofBC, settlement services are multi-lingual services, ranging from personal counseling and wellness support, to community connections and customized services for special needs groups,&#8221; says Woroch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Settlement agencies also provide a point of contact to meet others who share the experience of being a newcomer, or who are long-term citizens,&#8221; she says. &#8220;These contacts often lead to long-term friendships.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaking newcomers feel like they are a part of the community encourages them to learn more about their new homes, Canadian culture, and ways they can contribute to Canadian society,&#8221; says Division Manager Lily Lim. \u201c[ISSofBC] has a program that matches newcomers with Settlement Mentors who volunteer time to provide assistance and support to their matched families.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding Work in Canada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Newcomers want to work as soon as possible, but often face barriers to employment,&#8221; says Woroch. For example, it&#8217;s not uncommon for immigrants to leave professional degrees behind upon arrival in Canada, but that doesn&#8217;t have to be the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/1960825-IMG_6052-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15314\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cImmigrants to Canada who have professional degrees and [are] looking to continue along their career paths can take steps even before they arrive here [in Canada] by researching the labour market, contacting regulatory bodies and exploring alternative careers in the industry or field they have training or experience in,&#8221; Lim says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ISSofBC works with numerous programs across Canada in order to help make the immigration process smoother. \u201cThere are various employment programs and bridging programs available in every Province, and clients can access these services and supports at no cost,&#8221; says Lim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing the services Canada&#8217;s settlement agencies provide in helping newcomers look for a job, find places to live, learn a new language and integrate into their communities is important as Canada prepares to welcome\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/politics\/immigration-canada-2018-1.4371146\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">millions of newcomers<\/a>\u00a0over the next few years.
