Lindsay Rubeniuk, a true Prairie girl, has centered her career around building a dynamic and skilled rural workforce. She has practiced rural economic development for 30 years focusing on immigration, agricultural initiatives as well as creating paths to apprenticeships for rural youth. She has seen first-hand the need for rural businesses to attract and retain workers as well as small communities to sustain a skilled working economy.
Lindsay has worked in Eastern Europe & South America. In 2016, as a result of working abroad, she obtained her Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant designation to bring the global workforce to the Canadian Prairies. Since that time, she has been guiding Agricultural & Skilled Trade businesses in small towns through the process of obtaining Temporary Foreign Workers.
