Abstract

Les nouveaux arrivants au Canada font face à divers obstacles à leur intégration économique, allant du manque de familiarité avec l'anglais ou le français et la culture canadienne aux réglementations restrictives concernant les titres de compétences étrangers. Ces obstacles se manifestent par des écarts de compétences entre les nouveaux arrivants et l'industrie, pour laquelle les compétences des nouveaux arrivants ne correspondent pas à ce que recherchent les employeurs. Cet article examine la littérature sur les écarts de compétences au Canada, mettant en évidence le besoin de programmes et de services visant à soutenir les nouveaux arrivants dans leur approche avec ces obstacles et à combler l'écart de compétences. Ensuite, l'article présente une argumentation en faveur du développement des compétences entrepreneuriales en tant que voie alternative à l'intégration économique pour les nouveaux arrivants. Enfin, trois programmes de développement des compétences sont analysés, démontrant l'efficacité potentielle de telles interventions pour aider les nouveaux arrivants à surmonter les obstacles à l'intégration économique.
