BAPS Charities Hosts ‘Understanding Canadian Immigration’ Seminar

On March 14, 2015, BAPS Charities hosted an informative seminar, “Understanding Canadian Immigration” in the presence of Hon. Chris Alexander, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. This seminar was held at the magnificent BAPS Swaminarayan Complex at 61 Claireville Drive, Toronto.

Hon. Minister Chris Alexander, and officials from Citizenship and Immigration Canada, spoke on the very vital and sometimes complex subject of Canadian Immigration laws, in particular, outlining details of the new Express Entry Program and various other opportunities for permanent residents, landed immigrants and foreign students in Canada.

Special guests included, Senator Victor Oh and Ms. Lucille Leblanc, Employer Liaison Network (ELN), Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

Minister Alexander said, ‘Immigration from India has been strong…in many cases, India is the principal source of skills, not just for Canada, but for the global marketplace.’  He also spoke about his visit to the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, “I am a return visitor to this place and also someone who has benefitted from the strength of the BAPS network globally. I was pleased to visit Akshardham outside Delhi on my first visit to India as Canada’s Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.”

Inspired by His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj, BAPS Charities, the humanitarian wing of BAPS, has been serving the community in Canada for many years by hosting seminars, medical fairs, walkathons, health awareness seminars, disaster relief operations, bone marrow registry drives and much more.
