The standard format of career fairs has a major flaw when it comes to reaching out to immigrants to Canada during the pre-arrival stage. Quite simply, they are not in the country to attend. There is some great news though, Virtual fairs are able to bridge this gap and allow you to speak directly with future newcomers to Canada anywhere in the world.
The benefits to taking part in an online fair when hoping to speak with the pre-arrival immigrant community are great.

No travel required
At a virtual or online fair, you will be able to speak directly with newcomers from the comfort of your own office. Avoiding the need to get in a car and travel to the location of the fair.
