Yes, SSC can help. SSC helps internationally educated professional immigrants and skilled workers find jobs in their professions by developing their job search skills. The monthly orientations and workshops include practical hands-on experience for: preparing resumes, marketing, writing cover and thank you letters, interview skills, telephone etiquette and job search techniques.
It is preferred that our clients have to have a minimum of level six (6) of the Canadian Language Benchmark. The program at SSC is free to clients, as Success is funded by Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada. The Centre asks that you bring the following to the first day of workshops: your Social Insurance Card; your permanent resident card (or landed immigrant papers), and all of your education and professional qualifications documents (including transcripts or mark statements originals from your home country).
You can register in one of either of three ways: by telephone, by e-mail or in person. When you come the first time, please bring with you the following documents:
- Your Social Insurance Card
- Permanent Resident Card or Landing Paper
- Your resume (if you have one already)
- Your educational and professional documents, including transcripts.
