Career Paths for Skilled Immigrants

Value

Varies.

Description

Career Paths for Skilled Immigrants Program provides services to help immigrants find skilled employment in B.C. that uses the education and experience they bring to Canada. Customized to participant needs, including support specific to in-demand occupations.

The program has three streams:

  • Stream 1: Priority occupations. These are specific jobs that are classified using the NOC system. They are in demand in B.C. and difficult to fill.
  • Stream 2: Regulated occupations. These include skilled jobs where you may need to be recertified to work in B.C. The recertification process is done by a regulatory body.
  • Stream 3: Unregulated occupations. These include skilled jobs where you may not need to be certified.

You may be eligible for Career Paths if you:

  • Became a permanent resident of Canada within the last ten years.
  • Are a protected person/refugee.
  • Have been selected for permanent residence.
