Employment Services

The Catholic Centre for Immigrants has several employment service programs that help newcomers find work or transition to new careers in Canada.

Employment Services

As part of our Community and Employment Connections Program, we offer a variety of workshops and one-on-one sessions to newcomers who want to improve their job prospects. We offer services to youth and adults. You will learn how to build a resume, make a good first impression in an interview, and how to succeed in a job interview. We post workshop dates and job opportunities on our CCI Youth Facebook page and LinkedIn. For more information on how we help you, please visit our CCI Employment Team page.

International Students Project

This program is run by the Settlement Department. We help international students in Canada with their settlement needs with a particular focus on pre-employment. The objective of this project is to ensure international students have the right tools to find employment that would lead them to becoming eligible for Permanent Residence under IRCC’s Express Entry. Clients can expect to develop skills on pre-employment capabilities, such as resume building, interview mentorship, job-postings referrals; as well as tailored information regarding Study Permit/Post-Graduate Work Permit applications for them and their dependent family members. This information will be delivered via workshops, one-on-one meetings and mentoring, as well as regular newsletters and other media content. Eligibility: Must be registered at a post-secondary institution in Canada.
