The Immigration Conversation: How Immigrants Contribute to Alberta’s Economic Prosperity

MobSquad is pleased to share this conversation on Global News on how and why immigration is an essential component to a successful economy.  Adrienne Clarkson, Arif Khimani, Jason Ribeiro and Abdulfatah Sabouni were interviewed by Bindu Suri discussing their professional experiences with immigration to Canada and how it has contributed to a culturally rich and prosperous economy.

Khimani explained why they look outside of Canada for skilled workers.
