Canadian Immigrant Fair

Empowering Newcomers: Canadian Immigrant Fair Returns to Halifax this May at Pier 21

As Nova Scotia continues to see record-breaking population growth, the Canadian Immigrant Fair is set to return to Halifax this spring to provide vital support for the city’s newest residents. The event will take place on Friday, May 8, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the historic Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.

Now a cornerstone event for the local immigrant community, the fair serves as a comprehensive, "one-stop" resource hub focusing on the three pillars of immigrant success: Careers, Education, and Settlement. “Our mission is to bridge the gap between talented newcomers and the resources they need to thrive in their new home,” says the event organizers at Canadian Immigrant magazine. “By bringing employers, educational institutions, and settlement services under one roof at a location as symbolic as Pier 21, we are honoring the past while building the future of Halifax.”

Event Highlights Include:

• Hiring Expo: Connect face-to-face with recruiters and HR managers from top Halifax employers and national companies looking to fill immediate vacancies.
• Resume Clinic: Attendees can receive free, one-on-one professional advice to tailor their resumes for the Canadian job market.
• Inspirational Speakers’ Series: Hear from successful immigrants and industry experts on topics ranging from professional networking to navigating the Atlantic Canadian job market.
• Education & Settlement Resources: Information on bridging programs, English language support, banking, small business resources, and provincial immigration pathways.

With Halifax’s tech, healthcare, and construction sectors seeking skilled talent, the fair offers a unique opportunity for international students, temporary residents, and recent permanent residents to fast-track their integration into the workforce.

The event is FREE to the public. To ensure entry and receive updates on the list of exhibitors, attendees are encouraged to pre-register online.
