Interestingly, politics has been put on the hold as focus would be more on those planning to immigrate abroad for either employability, higher education or for investment in western world in general and Canada in particular.
Canada, being the major partner in this event, will be represented among others by Ontario Minister for Government Services Harinder Takhar, Member of Provincial Parliament of Alberta Peter Sandhu and former MP from Ontario Gurbax Malhi. Besides these representatives of Parvasi Punjabis, Canada's Consul-General Scot Slessor will also make two presentations at the daylong conference to showcase his country's potential in education, employment and business.
Though model code of conduct would debar the SAD-BJP combine from making any announcement for redressal of long-pending demands of the overseas Punjabis, Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal is expected to formally inaugurate the deliberations that would be later joined by former deputy speaker of the Lok Sabha Charanjit Singh Atwal, Punjab Chief Secretary SC Aggarwal and Vice-Chancellor of Punjab Technical University, Dr Rajneesh Aora.
