IEC-BC’s mission and vision


To make BC’s employers Canada’s leaders in fully embracing the skills and experience newcomers bring to our communities.

BC is a global destination of choice for newcomers because its employers fully recognize and tap into the skills, training, and experience of the immigrant talent they hire.
IEC-BC connects employers to skilled immigrant talent to solve business challenges.
IEC-BC is a not-for-profit organization that provides employers with the solutions, tools, and resources they need to attract, hire, and retain qualified global talent.
Successful integration of skilled newcomers into the BC labour force is critical to both employers’ and the province’s long-term economic performance. We work with employers, government, and other partners to ensure that BC employers can effectively integrate the best global talent.

Immigrant talent widens talent pipelines, reduces critical vacancies, and secures specialized skills for BC.
Internationally trained professionals bring advanced skills and new perspectives to improve products and processes, and to accelerate growth.
Diverse teams power more creative problem solving, new product ideas, and adaptive strategies.
