This prestigious award celebrates the achievements of immigrant leaders who have made a significant difference in their industries and communities. Hong Phuc's journey embodies resilience, innovation, and a deep commitment to empowering local businesses and job seekers.

A Vision for Inclusive Hiring

As an immigrant to Canada, Hong Phuc experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating the job market in a new country. This inspired her to build Kibbi, a groundbreaking platform designed to connect local businesses with nearby talent, making hiring more accessible and community-driven.

Through collaborations with workforce development organizations, business improvement areas, and community partners, Kibbi has become a trusted tool for bridging the gap between employers and job seekers—especially for immigrants, newcomers, and those seeking entry-level opportunities.

A Well-Deserved Recognition

Winning the Immigrants of Distinction Award is a testament to Hong Phuc’s unwavering dedication to strengthening local economies and building more inclusive hiring ecosystems. Her leadership has not only positioned Kibbi as an innovative force in workforce technology but has also championed economic integration, diversity, and accessibility in hiring practices across Canada.

This award is more than just a recognition of past achievements—it’s a celebration of what’s to come. As Kibbi continues to grow, Hong Phuc remains committed to expanding the platform’s impact, forging stronger partnerships, and making hiring easier, fairer, and more inclusive for all.
