Immigrants searching for work in Canada can swipe right for job opportunities while receiving bespoke consulting and preparation services

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 13, 2024) - CanPR Technology Ltd. (TSXV: WPR) ("CanPR" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian technology-enabled immigration service provider, today announced upgrades to its existing SmartCV job platform that combines artificial intelligence (AI) with popular dating application user experiences to make job searching and matching more intuitive for newcomers to Canada. Currently in beta testing, users can swipe through job listings, auto-apply to multiple positions with a single click and track the status of applications in a central dashboard. SmartCV is CanPR's comprehensive platform designed to help job seekers transition smoothly into the Canadian market.

Canada has tremendous appeal as an immigration destination with hundreds of thousands of newcomers choosing Canada as their new home each year since 2000[1]. More recently, there's been a surge of entrants with the federal government setting aggressive targets; adding more than one million newcomers through 2026[2].

However, labour mismatching and skills shortages persist. CanPR's updated SmartCV addresses this challenge by giving immigrants an opportunity to explore work options and connect with industry mentors to better understand the domestic job market before starting the immigration application process. Additionally, newcomers benefit from individualized training and coaching, to help newcomers prepare for, and refine interview skills to boost confidence when applying for roles, while AI-powered services help ensure resumes and cover letters meet Canadian standards. This combination of job discovery and application refinement is meant to align skilled immigrants with employment prospects.

"The upgrades to SmartCV showcase our commitment to simplifying immigration services for newcomers by deploying technology in innovative ways that streamline processes and improve outcomes," said Akshat Soni, Co-Founder and CEO, CanPR, "We drew inspiration from popular dating applications which have transformed how people meet and applied a job application lens to improve how newcomers search, apply and prepare for potential placements. This result is a totally new experience that is easy to use while offering robust employment resources to help immigrants find employment in Canada."
