The Government of Kenya is at the early stages of exploring safe and structured migration channels for Kenyan workers across various provinces in Canada. A delegation from the *State Department for Labour and Skills Development, led by *Principal Secretary Shadrack Mwadime<\/em>, is touring Canadian provinces to secure employment opportunities and establish formal migration pathways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In New Brunswick, the delegation held high-level discussions with experts and government leaders across education, healthcare, and both skilled and semi-skilled professions. A key highlight was the proposal to establish a *New Brunswick school in Nairobi, envisioned as a bridge to facilitate labour migration and expand access to employment opportunities in Canada. Exchange programs between Kenyan and Canadian learning institutions are also under consideration, with a delegation from New Brunswick expected to visit Nairobi in *mid-October 2025<\/em> to advance these discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during the engagements, PS Mwadime<\/em> emphasized the importance of formal partnerships to safeguard Kenyan workers:
\u201cWe need to establish partnership and, if possible, sign a memorandum of understanding in line with Canadian legal frameworks. This will assure our young people that they are migrating to a country where their future is guaranteed. That\u2019s the reason why we are here,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On his part, Assistant Deputy Minister Dany Couillard<\/em> welcomed the initiative, noting the shared commitment to safe migration:
\u201cI think we are very much aligned. Part of my job is to find people, and while many countries say they have people available, few propose formal agreements. We are very open to that. What we require is that people use the right pathways, not irregular ones, when moving to Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This partnership marks a significant step toward aligning Kenya\u2019s labour supply with Canada\u2019s market demands while ensuring the dignity, rights, and safety of Kenyan workers abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
