Many of the immigrants who come to Canada are highly skilled and educated; they are doctors, lawyers, engineers, nurses, trades people, entrepreneurs and investors. They contribute to Canada socially, culturally and economically. Immigrants are also a valuable asset to Canada’s export industry, as many possess knowledge of foreign languages, and have contacts that can expand Canada’s export trade market.

Produced by the Calgary HR Initiative, this publication looks at six of the most enduring myths about working in the voluntary sector.

The purpose of this paper is to summarize funding practices and issues which are impacting human resource systems in nonprofit organizations. It was also intended to inform and foster discussion among funders and present possible approaches to address or mitigate these funding issues at the local, provincial and national levels.
