    Federal Internship for Newcomers is a good initiative and newcomers will be motivated to stay and serve Canada. However, it has to be structured to cater for all immigrants. Otherwise it would be frustrating to some.

    I am going to land in Mississauga in August 2012. By profession I am an Accountant/Internal Auditor with 25 years work experience in the Finance Division of a government body. Will I get the internship facility when I land. What would be the Criteria and Procedures?
