Newcomers to Ontario

People immigrating to Ontario are a major source of new skills and talent in the labour market. Workers coming into the province from other nations will become even more important in the years ahead. As an equal opportunity employer, the OPS is committed to capitalizing on the skills and talents that newcomers bring with them to this province and eliminating barriers to employment that include how we attract and hire new talent. We promote a healthy, supportive, respectful and safe work environment for our diverse workforce to develop to its full potential.
