Seeking Employment?

You arrived in Canada with your dreams, skills and experience. But have you arrived at the job or career you are qualified for?

ArriveBC helps immigrants who do not require completely new credentials or extensive language upgrading to quickly secure employment in areas relevant to their skills and experience.

ArriveBC is part of the Skills Connect initiative, a $14.5 million strategy to help highly skilled immigrants move more quickly into jobs that match their qualifications.

Find the job you were trained for.

• Focus on jobs in healthcare, construction and transportation
• Advance your career by upgrading skills or getting Canadian credentials
• Access job leads, language assistance, career planning and more

Did you know?

• B.C. predicts almost one-million job openings between 2003 and 2010
• 123,900 jobs will be in healthcare, 54,400 jobs will be in transportation, and 61,500 in construction
• Only half of those jobs can be filled by our current population

Are you...?
