ISSofBC, along with over 100 civil society, community groups, businesses, and charities from across Canada, are calling on all Canadian federal parties to work on a renewed vision for immigration to Canada.
Canada needs an immigration system that works for everyone, so if you agree, please read our letter to all federal parties and sign up to support our call to action:
If you’re a newcomer to Canada, we can support you with free services including settlement, language and career programs.

Please phone us to make an appointment before coming into our offices. We have offices across British Columbia, so find the details of your nearest location here.
We try to serve all clients in a timely manner but please note that ISSofBC is not a government organization and we only provide services to newcomers living in British Columbia.
If you are outside of Canada, please contact IRCC (formerly CIC).
For over 50 years we have worked with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Government of British Columbia to provide a range of key services for immigrants and refugees who arrive and live in British Columbia.
We thank the IRCC and the Government of BC for their support and funding.
Find the most up-to-date information and learning tools including settlement services, learning English, careers and employment, and refugee support.
