Canada

Canada joined the ILO in 1919 as one of the founding Member States of the Organization. Canada helps to advance ILO objectives through its voluntary contribution to the ILO’s development cooperation programme. These voluntary contributions are mainly channelled through the Labour Program of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Through ESDC’s technical assistance and capacity building, Canada addresses the social, and particularly the labour dimensions of international trade and economic integration. This partnership advances fundamental labour rights. The ILO partnership with GAC supports key initiatives promoting youth employment, empowering rural women, and maximising the benefits and minimizing the risks of labour migration. The ILO partnership with IRCC provides technical assistance for the socioeconomic integration of Venezuelan refugees and in host countries of the Quito Process, through skill certification and a better access to public employment services.
