Newcomer Job Search in Vancouver: What MOSAIC’s Free Employment Services Cover

by | Sep 3, 2026 | Djobzy Canada, Find Work | 0 comments

MOSAIC has been running settlement and employment services in Metro Vancouver since 1976 and describes itself as one of Canada’s largest settlement organizations, serving immigrants, refugees, and newcomers from more than 30 client-accessible sites (per mosaicbc.org, checked August 24, 2026). All of its employment services are free.

What MOSAIC actually offers job seekers

MOSAIC’s employment programs cover a wide range of situations, not just general job search help: Career Paths for Skilled Immigrants for people with 1+ years of related experience, WorkBC Employment Services for one-on-one and group support, career mentoring through the Workplace Connections program, and targeted programs for refugees, newcomer women, and youth aged 16–29 (Fast Track to Manufacturing Plus). Most require some combination of legal work status in Canada and a minimum English level, and requirements vary by program — check the specific program page before assuming you qualify.

What MOSAIC offers employers

On the other side, MOSAIC runs a free program connecting BC employers with vetted, ready-to-work candidates, aimed at companies with vacancies to fill or diversity and inclusion goals.

Where Djobzy fits in

MOSAIC and Djobzy aren’t affiliated. MOSAIC’s programs are structured, appointment-based, and often multi-week — genuinely valuable, but not built for the day someone needs to find paid work right now. Djobzy’s live map lets job seekers browse local jobs and service opportunities between MOSAIC sessions, and its Career Passport carries reviews, work history, and experience across locations, which matters for newcomers rebuilding a work history in a new country. Workers keep 100% of the agreed price with zero commission.
