Their stories are often ones of hope and inspiration. Canadian Immigrant magazine is honouring the many immigrants who have made a significant contribution to Canada since their arrival, with the seventh annual RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrant Awards. 
Over the past seven years, more than 150,000 Canadians have cast votes to determine the Top 25 winners, including entrepreneurs and business leaders, artists, academics, community volunteers, sports heroes, philanthropists, inventors and visionaries - as young as 17 years and as old as 92.
“Every nomination we received was poignant and deserving. The 75 shortlisted Canadians moving into the next stage are nothing short of inspiring. We invite all our readers to vote for their favourites to determine who we should honour as the Top 25 Canadian immigrants of 2015,” said Margaret Jetelina, editor, Canadian Immigrant magazine.
This year, title sponsor RBC will further recognize one of the 25 winners who demonstrates excellence in business, with the RBC Entrepreneur Award. Associate Sponsor Chevrolet will recognize one winner with the Chevrolet Ingenuity Award, for showing exceptional ingenuity on their road to success.
The Top 25 winners will be announced on June 23, 2015. They will be recognized on canadianimmigrant.ca and in Canadian Immigrant magazine. Each winner will also receive a commemorative plaque and $500 toward a charity of their choice provided by RBC.
Canadians can now vote for up to three of their favourite finalists online at www.canadianimmigrant.ca until May 11, 2015.
