The first annual Top 25 Canadian Immigrants award ceremony was held Monday in Vancouver, recognizing some of the most noteworthy new Canadians.
The awards are the brainchild of Nick Noorani, publisher of Canadian Immigrant Magazine.
"We've got people from Africa, Brazil, Romania, all across the world," Noorani said. "And we didn't choose them - Canada did."
Nominations opened in November 2008, and the magazine received about 350 candidates. A panel of judges then shortlisted 75 of the nominees, and the online public voted for the winners.
More than 10,000 Canadians participated in the vote. more at: http://www.canadianimmigrant.ca/top25
