It Takes a Village to Settle a New Canadian

At our Global Technology Centre (GTC), located in the small town of Florenceville, Canada, with a population of just 1,500 people, more than 30 per cent of our employees are new Canadians. Having arrived from South America, India, Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, primarily due to McCain’s recruitment efforts, we have put much effort toward ensuring these new employees transition effectively, and the result is clear – 99 per cent of employees who arrive as temporary foreign workers apply for permanent resident status and remain in Florenceville.
