Since 2019, Canada has witnessed a significant influx of immigrants from Hong Kong. This new wave joined the already established Hong Kong immigrant communities, underscoring a pressing need for a platform where these individuals could connect, share experiences, and support one another in adapting to their new lives in Canada.

 

In response to this need, established Hong Kong immigrants in Canada initiated a series of informal gatherings. Starting with lunch meetings, these events provided a space for both new and long-standing immigrants to network and exchange stories and advice. These lunches were more than just social gatherings; they served as a foundation for a growing community, offering a sense of belonging and a network of support.

 

As the popularity of these gatherings surged, the group saw remarkable growth, evolving into a dynamic community keen on exploring business opportunities and collaborations. This evolution highlighted the necessity for a more structured and formal approach to harness the community's potential.

 

In 2023, responding to this momentum, we took a significant step by officially registering with the Federal government. Our organization was formalized with a focused mission: to empower Canadian Hongkongers by fostering a community that thrives on becoming a significant contributor to Canada and its values.

 

Following our official registration, we expanded our range of activities. We now organize various events, including educational workshops, seminars, networking opportunities, and cultural celebrations. Each event is tailored to strengthen our community, fostering both professional growth and personal development among our members.

 

Today, the Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Chamber of Commerce (Canada) stands as a vibrant symbol of the strength and potential of community and collaboration. We continue to embrace new members, support each other's aspirations, and make meaningful contributions to the diverse and multicultural landscape of Canada.
