Chosen as one of Best Employers for New Canadians for 2011:
By Kristina Leung and Richard Yerema, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors  ( Mar 27, 2011)

Some of the reasons why BMO Financial Group was selected as one of Best Employers for New Canadians 2011:
  • in the past year, became a sponsor of ACCES Employment's Speed Mentoring program, which helps newcomers develop networking and communication skills
  • employees also participate in the program as mentors, and the organization has hired a number of mentees in the past
  • branches work independently with local community organizations such as the Peel Region Newcomer Centre and the Centre for Information and Community Services to provide employment workshops to newcomers
  • hosted recruitment events to provide new Canadians with information on the hiring process at BMO as well as an opportunity to connect directly with employees, who shared their own experiences as newcomers
  • participates in the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council's (TRIEC) Mentoring Partnership, and have paired 23 mentees with mentors from BMO's IT division
  • recently updated their career website to include interview tips to prepare new Canadian job-seekers
"The Acces Speed Mentoring event sponsored by BMO is the perfect platform to help immigrants find meaningful employment in Canada. And I'm grateful to both BMO and Acces Employment for the opportunity."
— Aswhin J., Customer Contact Agent
"BMO really helps new Canadians who don't have a professional network to build relationships with people in the business world."
— Shailaja D., Manager, Finance and Change Management
