S.U.C.C.E.S.S. delivers pre-departure services in South Korea (Seoul) and Taiwan (Taipei) to skilled workers, members of the family class and live-in caregivers. With group orientation as the core service, clients are further supported with specific workshops which are tailor-made to meet their needs and one-on-one Active Engagement Case Management.

After participating in the pre-departure orientation, clients will be linked to specific workshops that cover topics such as labour market information, foreign credential recognition, health & medical services, education and training to upgrade their employability. For clients encountering specific challenges, the Integration Counsellors will provide individual counseling through face-to-face meetings and follow up with e-mail, telephone, or video-conferencing. Depending on the needs identified, clients can also be referred to appropriate programs or services through which they will acquire necessary information that will enhance their ability to integrate into the Canadian community.

The project supports the settlement, adaptation and integration of newcomers into Canadian society by providing pre-departure guidance to fast-track immigrants’ adjustment process in Canada; and by facilitating their community and labour market engagement.

Clients in Korea and Taiwan are provided with accurate and current pre-departure information, orientation and guidance so that they are better prepared for their settlement and adjustment process. Depending on the identified needs, clients may also be referred to programs or services in which they can acquire the necessary information that will help them to enhance their ability to integrate into the Canadian community. Clients will also have the opportunity to be connected with local immigrant serving agencies in Canada.
