Rescan recruits new Canadians with international engineering credentials through the province's Engineering Matching and Placement program (E-MAP) program. A pilot project of the province of British Columbia, E-MAP is a free employment matching service, where employers can have arrange to have the resumes of qualified internationally-trained engineers forwarded directly to them when an applicant's skills match the qualifications needed for an available position.
All new Canadian engineers registered with E-MAP have their credentials screened by the Society of Internationally-Trained Engineers of British Columbia (SITE BC), which is an independent and non-profit society of internationally-trained engineers that is registered with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (APEGBC).
"[At Rescan], I was able to get an interview although my education is outside of Canada. And the interview was focused on skills and abilities, instead of just experience and credentials. The office atmosphere is very supportive of immigrants. Rescan also helped me improve my language skills through training and workshops. Rescan gives immigrants the chance to work in their fields."
