Find a job and build a career with meaning
Put your experience to work in Canada
Finding work in a new country means learning how the job market works in Canada. Our Employment Services team can connect you with information, resources, and opportunities to help you continue your career in Canada.
Start with one-on-one career counselling, drop by our open hours, join a monthly workshop, or let us introduce you to employers who are hiring.
Employment Resource Centre
Sometimes, finding a job starts with something as simple as having access to the right information and resources.
At ICA’s Employment Centre (ERC), clients can receive one-on-one support, improve their resumes, learn about current job opportunities, and access helpful tools and resources. It’s a great place to meet other job seekers and connect with a job developer who can help you reach your employment goals.
Come see us in the Resource Room on the 4th floor.
Mondays & Tuesdays: 1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Thursdays & Fridays: 10 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Learn from a mentor who’s been there
There are things about the Canadian workplace that are easier to learn from someone with local experience. Our career mentorship program pairs you one-on-one with an established local professional in your field, who can answer the small questions, open a door or two, and help you understand workplace culture from the inside.
Support for migrant workers
The Migrant Workers Program offers settlement and employment information built specifically for migrant workers, so you know what you’re entitled to, where to turn if something goes wrong, and who else in your community is going through the same thing. Our services include one-on-one help, social and cultural events, and tools to help you understand employment laws in Canada.
Register as an ICA client now to join the Migrant Workers Program.
Training for new employment skills (WIP)
We run several ongoing workshops that can help build employment skills and make it easier to find work in Canada. Explore our upcoming training and workshops to find the topics that interest you.
