Canadian Employers are recognized the nation's best employers for recent immigrants when they offer programs to assist new Canadians in making the transition to a new workplace.
Some of the reasons why CAE Inc. was selected as one are:
1. It recognizes international undergraduate degrees on par with Canadian undergraduate degrees
2. It provides educational subsidies for new Canadian employees taking courses to improve their skills or obtain Canadian equivalency
3. Offers free in-house English and French language courses
