Offers programs to provide newcomers to Canada a successful transition

SUCCESS BC offers the following programs for newcomers to Canada:
Immigrant Settlement & Integration Program:
The Immigrant Settlement & Integration Program (ISIP) assists immigrants and their families learn about Canada's systems and services. ISIP offers opportunities for immigrants to develop English language skills, learn about Canada's labour market, network and develop professional and social networks, and settle into their local B.C. communities. Under the Immigrant Settlement & Integration Program, there is also an online service called ISIP Online which provides virtual settlement services.

Career Mentoring for SUCCESS:
If you are a new immigrant, the Career Mentoring for SUCCESS Program will bridge you to career success by providing you with the information you need in your field of expertise. Your mentor will provide you with information, support, and guidance to jumpstart your professional career in Canada. You will expand your knowledge about the key resources of your profession, the specific pathways to credential assessment, how to upgrade your education, and how to increase your opportunities to access the “hidden” job market.
