If you’ve been watching soccer on television lately, you’ll have seen this Top 25 Canadian Immigrant Award Winner on the sidelines — coach John Herdman has been making Canada proud by leading the national men’s team to the World Cup. And he’s in good company on the 14th annual Top 25 Canadian Immigrants Awards list! Winners include Kim’s Convenience star Paul Sun Hyung-Lee; Canada’s chief statistician Anil Arora; Ontario MPP Bhutila Karpoche; and federal Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra, among other inspiring immigrants making Canada a better place.
Presented by Western Union, Canadian Immigrant magazine’s Top 25 Canadian Immigrant Awards is the only national awards program that celebrates the achievements of inspiring Canadian immigrants. Winners are chosen from coast to coast, from diverse cultures and demographics, and different backgrounds and industries. This year’s program is once again supported by COSTI.
Among the Top 25, we have again selected one winner as our Youth Award recipient, and one as our Entrepreneur Award winner. Nigerian-born tech entrepreneur Tosin Ajibola, 26, from New Brunswick is our 2022 Youth Award winner and Mexican-born Karla Briones, a serial entrepreneur and entrepreneurship professor, columnist and consultant from Ottawa, is our Entrepreneur Award winner.
Check out our Top 25 winners now being featured at canadianimmigrant.ca/top25 and in the August edition of Canadian Immigrant magazine.
