Chinese Professionals Association of Canada Recipients of Funding From Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development

April 28, 2026

I was delighted to visit the Chinese Professionals Association of Canada (CPAC) office to relay to the organization that they have been the successful recipient of funding from the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) in support of their pre-apprenticeship training programs.

The funding includes $425,832 for the Electrician Construction and Maintenance program and $411,362 for the Welder program. These initiatives will be delivered in partnership with Centennial College and Durham College, respectively.

CPAC has a long-standing track record of supporting newcomers and youth from immigrant families through skills training, credential recognition, and employment pathways. Its pre-apprenticeship programs play a vital role in preparing participants for in-demand skilled trades careers while helping address labour shortages across the Greater Toronto Area.

CPAC’s work continues to make a meaningful impact in our community by equipping individuals with the skills needed to succeed in the workforce.  These programs will help build a stronger, more inclusive economy while supporting Ontario’s growing demand for skilled trades. 

我非常高興拜訪在我們選區内的加拿大中國專業人士協會 (CPAC) ，親自向該機構傳達一項喜訊：他們已成功獲得安省勞工、移民、培訓及技能發展廳 (MLITSD) 的資助，用以支持其學徒前培訓項目。

本次資助包括為電工 (建築及維修) 培訓項目提供425,832元，以及為焊工培訓項目提供411,362元。上述項目將分別與百年理工學院 (Centennial College) 及杜林學院 (Durham College) 合作推行。

CPAC 一直致力於支援新移民及移民家庭的青年，透過技能培訓、學歷認證及就業發展途徑，協助他們融入社會並實現職業發展。其學徒前培訓項目在培育緊缺技術工種人才方面發揮著重要作用，同時亦有助紓緩大多倫多地區的勞動力短缺問題。

CPAC 的工作持續為我們的社區帶來深遠而正面的影響，幫助更多人掌握在職場取得成功所需的技能。這些項目將有助於建立更強大、更包容的經濟體系，同時支持安省對技術工種日益增長的需求。
