Employment Help
One of the most important aspects of getting settled in a new country is to find gainful employment. Continuing or redefining your career opens new avenues for community engagement, financial stability and personal growth. Saskatchewan has a variety of work opportunities—from agriculture to the technology sector. By finding a new job, you can lay the foundation for a life in Southwest Saskatchewan.

Career help for newcomers.
If you’ve obtained education outside of Canada, then we can help you in applying for credential assessments and recognition. This process finds alignment between your completed schooling and the Canadian post-secondary educational system. Finding a suitable comparison will help you in applying for relevant positions within your field within your level of experience.
To assist in finding employment, the Welcome Centre can provide professional guidance either one-on-one or as a group to discuss employment focus, training and academic services that could benefit you.
