ICA's services address the special needs of newcomers, providing tools to facilitate their adjustment to a new life in our community.

Are You Moving Here? Visit our Immigrant Welcome Centre
If you are an immigrant to BC, you may be eligible for services from our immigrant-serving agency. A Virtual Host Volunteer will be happy to answer questions about immigration and settlement in Victoria.

Settlement Services
The ICA Settlement Program provides services to immigrants, refugees and refugee claimants in the Capital Region. We value settlement services which are inclusive, respectful, and empower immigrants and refugees.

English Classes
This program is designed for adult newcomers to Canada who are eligible for ELSA and want to get a job, and provides English language training from Beginners to High-Intermediate level.

Immigrant Professionals
We connect skilled immigrants with qualified local mentors to help guide newcomers along their career development path. Mentors help immigrant professionals explore the local labour market, the “unspoken rules” of the Canadian workforce, and other career development topics in a safe environment. 

Interpretation & Translation
We provide translation of documents such as birth, marriage and divorce certificates, educational documents and diplomas.
