Immigration to British Columbia has created a dynamic, open
and diverse society that continues to enrich the social and
cultural fabric of our province.
Each year B.C. welcomes approximately 40,000 immigrants and
all levels of government in B.C. are working in partnership
to make immigrants feel welcome in our province and to foster
intercultural harmony in our communities. The provincial government
provides a wide array of programs from immigrants, including:
- Needs assessment, information and support services
- Orientation services
- Mentoring by matching newcomers with Canadians
- Professional development
- English language training, including child minding and
transportation during training
- Funding for interpreter services
Immigrants bring unique values and insights from their cultures
and countries of origin, resulting in B.C. rapidly becoming
the most culturally diverse and best integrated multicultural
society in Canada. This means vital, dynamic and economically
sustainable communities.
