ISSofBC would like to inform our community that the E-Connect for Temporary Foreign Workers (TFW) program will officially conclude on Março 31.
Since its launch, E-Connect has supported temporary foreign workers in British Columbia by providing information, guidance, and connections to services that guide workers to understand their rights and navigate life and work in Canada. We are grateful to everyone who participated in the program and trusted our team for support.

Although the E-Connect program is ending, support resources for temporary foreign workers remain available.
Workers who need assistance, information about their rights, or help addressing workplace concerns can access official resources from the Government of Canada:
